Mrs. Cleveland's Popularity.

/ The accounts OF the inauguration proceed
inga>n the different papers contain ex-
/ tremely pleasant references to Mrs. Cleve-
/ land. It is evident that she has the good
will Of the Washington correspondents. and
IL what they say about her is true, and
there is no reason to doubt it Is, she is very
popular. and will command as much atten-
ton and play as important a part in this
administration as she did in Mr.. Clevelands
| first administration. That she is a very
charming woman and has wonderful tact
there is no doubt.
! When she became mistress Of the white
house during Mr.. Cleveland's first admins
tration she was an inexperienced girl and
had seen very little of social life. She
| filled her new and trying position
admirably. The wonder was that she made
so few mistakes. 1t is true that because
she was very young and pretty and bride
any MISTAKES she might have made would
have been willingly overlooked, but there
was no occasion TO make excuses for her
She was successful in doing the right thing
at the right time. and by her amiability aud
sound common sense made friends of all
who came in contact with her.
During the four years that interviewed
between her departure from the white
house and her return to 1t as its
mistress she occupied a large place
in the public mind. She was not
forgotten. Scarcely a week passed that
some reference to her did not appear in the
newspapers. The public took as much
interest in her almost as It did in her dis
tinguished husband. and seemed pleased to
hear complimentary things said of her.
She is mistress of the white house again,
and an admirable mistress she will be. The
secret of her success is the purity of her
motives and the high standard of her life.
She makes no effort to win friends. She
wins them without an effort. Her womanly
grace and sunny nature are irresistible.
The following from the account in the
New York Tribune Of the inaugural pro-
ceedings illustrates to some extent why she
is 80 close to the hearts Of the people. The
Tribune says: "a touching incident oc-
Cured as the President-elect was about to
leave the Arlington on his way to the white
house. He had waved general au revoir
to the party Of officials and personal friends
gathered about him and was ABOUT to pass
through the doorway when Mrs. Cleveland
called him back and, with utter disregard
for the assembled company, threw her arms
about her husband and kissed him several
times, bidding him godspeed on his way
to take the oath Of Office. Those who saw
this leave-tsking endeavored to look I'M
! conscious Of what was going on, but the act
Of Mrs. Cleveland was done so simply and
with such womanly grace that it seemed to
be the most natural occurrence in the world,
and endeared the wife of the President
elect to oil those in the apartment"
Mrs. Cleveland will contribute largely to
the popularity of the administration. She
will manage the social side of it and man
age it well.

Siluerites Want Gold

The banks Of Denver. Col, made great
show # assisting the treasury by Offering
the secretary 81, 200, OOofo a like amount of
legal tender notes. The Denver people are
down on everybody who does not ia vor free
silver coinage. To hear them talk they
would rather have silver than gold any
day.
But If the Denver banks think so much Of
silver, why didn't they offer their gold for
silver or for silver certiticatesg Why did
they insist upon legal tender notes9 They
know, Of course, that legal tender notes are
just as good as gold-that there is a reserve
of 100000 900 OF gold in the treasury with
which to redeem them. That is why they
asked for legal tender notes instead of silver
or silver certificates.
There is great deal OF demagogism In
these Colorado silverites. Their state pro-
duoes silver. and they want to unload it on
the people Of the other states at a much
higher price than 1t is worth. But they
take care not to load themselves up with
any more of it than they can help.
