MR.. CLEVELAND HAS SPOKEN AGAIN.
He has written letter to Gov.
Northern of Georgia in reply to a
letter from the Governor calling
for an expression of his views on the
situation, and there is nothing new
in it. He simply reitterates his oft
repeated assertion that he is opposed
to free coinage and in favor of the
repeal of the purchasing clause OF
the Sherman law, that's his ultima
ton. He leaves US no IN doubt
upon that score.
He does not wire in and wire out,
Leaving the people still in doubt,
Whether the snake that made the
track
Was on his belly or on his back.
No, indeed, it is plain which side
is up. There is the trouble, his
BACK IS UP and he has brushed his
tail and he means fght-to use Gov.
Vances expression, till the warmest
of the warm freezes over, and then
for a tussel on the ice. The consol
ing part of Mr.. Cleveland's letter is
the fact that he prays, there never
was any danger in a praying man.
If his prayer is sincere and for your
gooo then there certainly can be
no harm to you, and if it is in sincere
and against you then there is no dan.
ger of it being answered. Mr.. Cleve-
land says his daily prayer Che does
not tell US whether it is his evening
or morning prayer but simply his
daily prayer, is that the disposition
to resist his WILL may not bring
upon us greater woes, to all which
We are prepared to say, amen, and
continue to resist, But laying aside
levity, if Mr.. Mr.. Cleveland is smart
enough to be able to see what is best
for us why don't he suggest some
thing. If he is in favor of silver but
believes its proper place in our cur,
rency, can only be fixed by d
REIMBURSEMENT of our currency legis
lation why don't he suggest the MoDUs

THE SCHEME OF CLEVELAND AND THE
GOLDBUGS

The following editorial has beer
standing at the head of the editoria
columns of the Washington Post for
over month:
THE SURE ROAD TO BIMETALLISM.
THE way to force Europe to agree
with us upon international blmetal-
lism is for the United States to stop
buying silver and buy gold.
The repeal Of the Sherman law is
only the first step. If We follow it
up by getting our share Of the gold
of the world, We will compel Eng
land to come to our terms :"
Editorials of similar natures are
appearing daily in merly all the
other metropolitan dailies. The papers
are goldbugs and are setting a trap
for the people, not a single one Of
them is honestly in favor of silver.
They are hypocrites. The object of
the goldbugs is to kill silver and
then issue interest bearing bonds to
buy gold. This is what the goldbugs
want-Thy want to invest their
money ia interest bearing bonds then
come to goldbasis and have their
new bends as well as the old paid in
gold, and then the taxes of the peo-
pie will have to be increased to pay
the intel est on this new debt.

The people remember how the pol

the people believe that the dcprcs-
sion and hard times was caused hy
production OF too much wealth,
they said it was overproduction.
This is especially the argument they
gave to explain why cotton was Sd
low. The fact that the cotton croI
Of 1892 was only G.SG5, 600 bales,
This was the smallest crop RAISED
since 1856. The outlook now Is that
the crop Of this year will be ut least
100. 900 bales behind what it was la Il
year. and the price is still low. This
is just an illustration Of how the
tools Of the old parties try to hide
the truth from the people. We have
now almost forced them to admit the
truth that it is scarcity Of money.

ders. Mrs. Jackson possessed lovely
disposition and deep personal piety. In
her youth she contracted an unfortunate
alliance with one her inferior in every
respect, and from whom she was di-
vorced. The love of General jackson for
his amiable and interesting wife amount
ed to idolatry, and during his momen-
tous career he never escaped from the
influence she left behind her He wore
her miniature on his heart till his death,
and, no matter what his cares or pleas
ures, at the close of each busy day the
president retired to quiet room to COM
mune with the portrait and the Bible of
his dead wife.
Mrs. jackson cared very little for the
honors of this world and longed for
nothing so much as the hour when her
husband would finish with politics, for
he assured her that when that time ar
rived he would become Christian
When Jackson was elected president his
wife said to those about her: ''For Mr.
Jackson's sake | am glad; for my own
never wished it. would rather be
doorkeeper in the house of my God than
to dwell in that palace in Washington
1t was while making preparations fo.
her departure from the dearly loved
Hermitage and the little chapel built by
her husband for her own especial usf
that this gentle soul received the rude
shock which caused her death. She was
like a mother to every servant ON the
estate, and wishing to leave all comfort
a hn txyipf f,.,, .,,4o
Nashville to buy supplies and clothing
for those who were dependent on her.
Weary from her shopping she went into
the parlor of hotel to rest while waiting
for the family coach to carry her back to
The Hermitage.
Suddenly she heard her name spoken
in an adjoining room and her character
basely and cruelty calumniated. For
some time she sat there, pale and cold,
listening to accusations against herself
which had been freely circulated during
the campaign, but which her chivalric
husband had carefully kept from her
knowledge. The popular tradition adds
that she was seized with spasmodic dis
ease of the heart, from which few nights
later she died
The grief of Jackson was agonizing,
and from that hour he seemed to live
to avenge her wrongs. Probably during
no other administration of the govern
ment has personal feeling entered so
largely into official appointments as in
the offices filed by Andrew jackson.
Did he have the slightest suspicion that
man had neglected to espouse the cause
! of his beloved wife he lost no time in
removing him. Upon her tomb he caused
her virtues to be enumerated and her
good deeds recited, ending the glowing
tribute with these touching and eloquent
words: ga being SO gentle and SO virtu-
GUS slander might wound, but could not
dishonor. Even death, when he bore her
from the arms of her husband, could but
transport her to the bosom Of her God"
