Cleveland's reason for skipping OF
to Bazzard's Bay during the session
OF Congress has been explained by
himself. We don't censurs him for
skipping, as so many papers do. He
is rather entitled to praise. If he had
gone rs far as the Bay of Biscay he
woull have been entitled to still
more praise on the ground that the
further he goes the better. II he had
gone clear across the ocean and g,vem
assurances that he would never again
return to the land Of Uncle Sam, the
praise that would he bestowed upon
him by the American people would
be unbounded and the general re-
joiclng very great. If Grover de-
sires to regain the love and admira-
ton of his countrvmen he will do
this. He says: ~ am going back
to my summer home at the seashore.
because | am not sufficiently rested
I ON the strain to which I have been
subjected since tha 4th Of March to fit
me again TO assume the labors and
duties which await me here" Isn't
It possible the strain is not so great
as the inability to stand the strain
Many other Presidents have filed the
chair when the strain was fully as
great as now, and the weight of res
ponsibiitv bore down just as heavily,
and in two or three instances the res
possibility was great deal weightier
than that which is placed on the
of Grover, and the demands
upon the mental faculties much
greater. Grover is almost a Hercu-
les physically, hut is by no means
mental giant The intellectual labor
that could be performed bv other
men with comparative ease, is an
enormous strain on Grover. We
should think his efforts to crush out
labor and industry in this country to
add millions of ill-gotten gains to
the wealth of bondholders and the
creditor classes generally would prove
a great strain on his conscience, but
it does not seem to. His conscience
is apparently very we'll seasoned and

THE D,she.est Dsllar.n

The following is an extract from
the speech of VIM. J. Bryan:
I'VE are being dragged toward a
universal gold standard, to d realm
over whose door is written, Abandon
hope, all We who enter here There
is no such thing as an honest dollar,
because the most dishonest dollar
would always have the same purchas-
ing power, and the government new
er attempted to secure absolute sta
hility in the dollar. The most dis
honest dollar ever proposed is that
child of avarice and ignorance called
the gold dollar. for il would constant
lv rise in value and cheat the debtor.
While We cannot secure an absolute
~ honest dollar, we should approach
it as near as possible, and bimetal-
lie standard ought to be adopted, be-
cause, with bimetallism, the money
unit fuctuates less than under u sin
gle standard. International bimet-
allism is desirable, but not Necessary
and not probable. The other Euro
pean nations wait upon England, and
England's interests lie in the direc-
ton of gold standard. To make
our action dependent upon hers al
lows her to legislate for our people
and is an abdioation of the right Of
self-government.
We believe a restoration of the
right of free coinage, as it existed
previous to 1873, would raise the
price of silver bullion to 129 cents
per ounce throughout the world and
render unnecessary any change in the
present ratio"

.Eternal vigilance is the price Of
liberty" This old saying means that
IT people try to govern themselves
they must know what is going on.
People have not always tried to gov
ern themselves, and whenever that is
the case there il group Of gentle
men found standing by ~ho are quite
ready and willing to relieve the good
people Of % disagreeabls ! task.
These excellent people are sometimes
called kings or emperors Or prssi-
dents or political bosses. OF tho last
class there are plenty in the U. s.
Politics means public business; 1t
least that is what II ought to mean
always. But European kings and
American bosses alike run the ma
chine of government for their private
advantage and not for the public
good. Tho people Of Switzerland,
tho oldest republic in tho world, have
no notion that their congress shall
rule at will. The Swiss do not toler-
ate political bosses to rule them.
Here in the U. S. when congress
passes bill, whether the people like
It or NOT, - soon as the President
signs it, law it is, and . law it re-
mains, unless . congress should be
elected to repeal it. But in Switzer-
land a certain number of cantons or
counties, or certain number Of citi-
zens, may At any time demand that
an important measure las the one Of
silver demonstration would be) the
congress has adopted, shall be SUBJ
mitted to popular vote before it can
he law. And in order to give q
fair chance for such q demand 70 be
made, bill that has been adopted
by the congress does not go into ef-
feet for sixty days after its passage.
In this way the Swiss have repeated
ly refused their assent to laws that
seemed to the Legislators em,nently
wise. In political science both young
and old ought to be interested 1t
least in the principal features of the
machinery nv which are administered
the public affairs Of the greatest re-
public in the world.

an item stating that the work of clean

On Friday morning the rocker bar of

was made and the pump put to work
again. Sunday the rocker bar of the
other pump broke and it was hoisted
to the surface. George Kuttler made

The attempt made on Sunday night
last At Glenn's Ferry to enforce the
provisions Of the Chinese exclusion
act, in : local way. created no little
excitement in that town.
It appears that gang cf twelve Of
fifteen armed men went TO Chinese
wash house Sunday night and, break
ing IN, ordered the inmates to get ont
of.town al once. The frightened Ce-
lestials lost no time in getting out Of
the house and two Of them songht
refuge in Stockton's saloon. While
in the saloon two masked men en-
tered, one being armed with a rife,
the other with . revolver. These
men ordered the Cinnamon to get
out and in the melee which ensued
the Chinamen were beaten and driven
into the street and out into the coun-
try. They reminded their csptors
that they were without shoes, money,
blankets or clothing, and begged to
be allowed to go back to their wash
house and get these necessary srti-
cles. Their entreaties were finally
listened to and they were permitted
to go hack on condition that they
would leave town next day. The
next day Sheriff Gray was on the
ground and brought to Mountain
Home Henry Underwood (colored)
and Guss Mangold, suspected Of be-
ing two of the gang who made the
assault.
The case is on trial before Judge
Clinton at the present time, and the
facts of the case will be ELECTED more
particularly and reliably than they
can be given at present.

WHY SOCIALISM FloURlsHEs.

At cannot be doubted that the alarm
ing growth of socialism in Europe is, in
great measure, attributable to the bur-
dens placed upon the people because of
the maintenance of enormous standing
armies. Nor is it within the probabili-
ties that the tide of socialism which is
sweeping over the continent can be
stemmed so long as the present policy
of an armed peace Is continued.
In twenty-three European states there
are today under arms 3,206, 600 troops
and 297,7O0 marines. Here then in
time of peace is the vast aggregate of
three millions and half Of men main
tanned on q war footing. This docs not
include the reserve, which in some
countries greatly outnumbers the regu-
lar army.
To support this colossal force of
fighting men there is expended annually

over q, 200. 100000 or three times as
much as the total cost of the govern
ment of the United States, pensions In.
cluded. This enormous sum Is wrung
from the people by every method OF
taxation and oppression that willy and
INSCRIPTIONS autocrats can invent.
Here in the United States there are
under arms 35,77O men. This total in
cludes the full force of the army and
the marines. and it represents one SOL
der to every 1880 inhabitants. What
is the proportion in Europe? One SOL
dier to every 1873 inhabitants. Poorly
paid as he is therefore the European
wage worker has to pay every year ten
times as much for the support or a
standing army as the American worker
does.
Can any one wonder then that social
ism fourishes or that the disciples OF
anarchy find. ready converts among
people crushed and groaning under
such unbearable exactions. And unless
speedy relief is extended can it be
doubted that the volcano Of discomfort,
the rumblings of which can even now
be heard, will not sooner or later burst
forth in horrid flames of anarchy and
revolution?

READINGS FUTURE.

Although President Mcleod promptly
withdrew from the Reading road, when
it became evident to him that the
parties that forced him to the wall
would refuse to lend him any aid to the
road while he remained at the head, the
affairs of the road do not seem to pros
per. 1t was claimed when Mcleod was
forced out that with him out of the
way the work of rehabilitating the road
would be easily accomplished, yet the
result shown that it is not so easy
a task after all, and yesterday the board
of managers met at Philadelphia and
decided TO abandon the plan of readjust-
ment of May 27, because it has failed to
receive the assent Of the holders of the
requisite number Of shares and obliga-
tons Of the company. The outlook is
not very encouraging for the stock
holders. Receivers certificates will have
to be issued to the extent of $1,000, 600
to meet obligations maturing, and
default on the July interest
of the general mortgage fours
is said to be unavoidable. The general
opinion is that foreclosure will speed
lily follow. Would the result have been
the same had Mcleod remained in
charger He was at least successful
when he took the road under equally as
depressing conditions and placed it on
its feet. 1t was only when he went
outside the legitimate domain of the
road that he met with disaster and even
here he would have succeeded had lot
jealousy interfered. Certainly his sue
cessor has not accomplished the wonders
