Cleveland's Hard Task.

The tone of President Cleveland's
inaugural Is not very confident in so
far as it touches upon the winning Of
popular favor for his administration,
says the Cleveland Leader. 1t Is the
utterance of man who realizes that
difficulties of the gravest nature con-
front him and his party. We do not
see how he could have felt otherwise.
Seldom, il ever, has party gone into
power with the standard set for it so
high and so hard to reach. The
most hopeful partisan Of the new
President understands that the de-
gree of prosperity now enjoyed by the
American people must be at least
maintained If the verdict of 1892 Is
not to be reversed at the first oppor-
tunity. What this means is shown by
great variety of facts bearing upon
the business and financial condition of
the country. For instance, the weekly
report of r. G. Dun & Co., issued on the
very eve of Inauguration day, says
that @the industrial production has
never been surpassed at this season.
Bank clearings are remarkably large,
and business failures have been fewer
and smaller than for any correspond
ing time in many years, ever since
1893 began. The volume of railroad
trafice, the increase in savings bank
deposits, the activity Of building
operations, the wages paid for labor,
and the demand for foreign Injuries
all indicate state of general pros
perity never surpassed, if equaled, in
the history of the United States. Mr.
Cleveland sees, if some Of his follow.
ers do not, that things must be bet
ter than WE'LL" in the words OF a
socialist poet, with the American
people if they are to be pleased or
even satisfied for the next four years.
Therefore he looks ahead doubtful,
indeed, whether he can improve upon
or even maintain the excellent con-
ditions now existing in the United
States

ReciprOcity's Work.

Whatever ridiculous assertions
Democrats might make well-informed
foreigners never doubted that Repub-
lican reciprocity would eventually
drive them out of the markets Of
Latin America. Sir Charles Upper,
Canadian High Commissioner to the
Congress Of Chambers of the Empire,
assembled in London last June, as
sured the assembled Britons that the
reciprocity clause Of the new tariff
simply meant that the United States
had thrown "their tentacles around
Brazil and the other South American
countries, the Antilles and the West
Indies, with a view to driving En-
gland and Canada completely out Of
the southern hemisphere. And" he
added, "they are going to do it,"
Not long before a British consul in
Brazil had reported to his govern
ment: "You must make up your
minds to lose the Brazilian trade, be-
cause the United States has got hold
Of Brazil under the reciprocity
clause"
Since those Canadian and British
prophets spoke actual experience has
made good their predictions. The
figures of our exports to Cuba during
the past year are especially impress
i've. For example, our sales of agri-
cultural implements to that island
increased from s63,O57 in 1891 to
500, 8S2 in 1892. In the same time
exports of hardware and tools grew
from 1878, 1872 to $3.50, 827; of steam
engines, from s2,617, 4O6 to 50, $685.
624; Of cloth manufactures, from
sos, sol to s129,874. Thus have
Cuban markets for manufactures
been increased. But, contrary to
predictions of free traders, the great
est gains reported occur in the ex-
ports Of the products of the farm.
Exports of provisions grew from So
40, 1913 to 81, 715, 200, gain Of ST.
304, 1922; Of breadstuffs the exports
were valued at 50, 53s, 525 in 1892, as
against only 1912, 642 in 1891, a gain
Of nearly 50, 900, coo, or 334 per cent
These gains are all the more strik-
ing because the figures for 1891 en-
brace part of the reciprocity period,
and, are, therefore, larger than they
would otherwise be. The rate of in
crease keeps up, with no signs of, fail
IRE. The figures from Brazil are
hardly less encouraging. Great
Britain is being driven out of the
southern hemisphere by reciprocity.

laws and public order Of the state
against the revolutionary proceedings
Of the populist governor, senate and
rump house, yet we could never under
stand how or why John Martin was
allowed to take his seat in the senate
unchallenged.
To our own ideas Of law, of procedure
and legal forms, he was never elected
and has not even the prima facie right
to certificate. This senator affair was
the one weak place in the program and
conduct Of last winter. Martin, if he Is
lawyer at all, knows he was not elect
ed legally. And SO it was that we were
more than gratified that the question
has at last reached the senate. It
ought to have been there when the pre-
tended credentials of Martin were pre-
sented, and his right disputed at the
Threshold. He has been sworn and
now pays his expenses out of the treas
ury OF the United States, and can fight
of decision possibly until his pre-,
tended term is out. Somehow the
treatment Of this man for generation
by the people Of Kansas has been rid,
die and a wonder. His whole career
has been one of an acted part, without
a party or following, successful only
by the favor OF those he always OPP
posed and always betrayed. BE was
the one beneficiary of the most corrupt
political bargain in the history Of any
state, by which 10000 voters laid down
their principles for the personal benefit
Of John Martin. And now he gets q
seat in the senate Of the United States
on bogus election.
Such a continuation Of acted part
without q thing but duplicity and cheek
to stand behind, could succeed only
among people who mistake pretension
for merit and who become impatient Of
their own principles because they have
been so overwhelmingly and bene6-
Gently successful that opposition was
more thing of curiosity than realiza-
ton.
Under this condition John Martin has
obtained place and prestige by pretend
ing to be better than his party and by
utilizing principle Of human nature
that is ever more ready to take pity on
and extend help to freak than to
thing normal like themselves. But at
last the thing is to be inquired into and
the what is it Investigated.

LOVES SEASON.

In sad sweet days when hectic nushes
Burn red on maple and sumac leaf.
When sorrowful winds wall through the PUSHES,
And all things whisper Of loss and grief,
when close and closer bold frost approaches
To snatch the blossom from natures breast,
When night forever on day encroaches-
On, then think that love you best.
And yet when winter, thyrant master.
Has buried autumn in walls of snow,
And bound and fettered where bold frost cast
her
Lies outraged nature in helpless woe,
When all earth's pleasure in four walls center,
And side by side in the snug home nest
We list the tempests which cannot enter
oh, then say that love you best.
But later on, when the siren season
Betrays the trust of the senile king,
And glad earth laughs at the act of treason,
And winter dies in the arms of spring.
When buds and birds all push and hutter
To free fair nature so long oppressed,
thrill with feelings / cannot utter,
And then am certain love you best.
But when in splendor the queeniy summer
Reigns over the earth and the skies above,
When nature kneels to the royal conner,
And even the sun flames hot with love,
When pleasure basks in the luscious weather,
And care lies out on the sward to rest.
Oh, whether apart or whether together,
1t is then i know that love you best.

The commercial war now in progress
between France and Switzerland has
been taken advantage Of by the Swiss
sschoolboys in thoroughly character
1stic manner. According to the Swiss
newspapers, the schoolboys Of Saint
Gall have issued an address to the
schoolboys of the neighboring cantons
in which they claim that they have q
right to take part in the struggle with
France.and to help to'support" their
country In the war Of custom houses.
"We are happy" say the schoolboys In
their manifesto, ''t0 be able to state
that our mothers will buy no more
French hats and gowns, and that our
farthers will drink no more French
wines. As regards ourselves, we have
decided to no longer learn the French
language, and we trust that our profes-
sors will take note of our patriotic
sentiments"
