THURSDAY, MAR. 9, 1893.

VIEWED as a sounding collection of
platitudes, of gorgeous truisms, of
magniloquent, verbose, stilted, swollen
boasting, President Cleveland's inau-
gural is success. Viewed as the out
line of a policy which the world was
waiting in impatience to hear. or as a
solution of great problems which con-
front the nation, it is just as conspicu-
GUS failure. He says that the country
ought to have honest money, but he
does not show the means to attain it;
he says that the Republican tariff is
wrong, but he fails to point out what
will be done for it; he speaks feelingly
of public expenditure, public necessity,
public frugality, and enunciates with
the air of man who speaks some great
and hitherto unknown fact that polit-
ical party ought to keep its pledges.
The inaugural teens with me and my
and L, after Mr.. Cleveland's s well known
style. The address is disappointing.
1t is not the paper of a statesman. The
only thing in it of which an American
may be proud, is the evident honesty of
the writer. There is no doubt of Mr..
Cleveland's entire earnestness. But
along with honesty the people wanted
some suspicion of ability, and this they
will not find in the 100 words of the
Presidents first address to the country.

AS WAS to be expected the British
press was unanimous in their praise of
Mr.. Cleveland's inaugural. The British
press represents foreign capital, foreign
workingmen, and whatever is inimical
to the best interests of America. These
have held out to them by Mr. Cleveland
the hope that all restrictions on their
free and full trade with this country will
be done away with. 1t is natural that
they should hail him with JOY. Mr..
Cleveland always has had a numerous
constituency in Great Britain.

Most Valuable.

Lemons, grapes and tomatoes are most
valuable from medical point of view,
says an authority, and if the use of such
fruits and their1uices were persevered in
there is every reason to believe that not
only cancer but many other diseases of
similar nature with which the skill of
the surgeon and physician are unable to
cope, might be actually cured or so much
alleviated as scarcely to shorten life.

A Good Argument.

One of the best arguments for good
roads is contained in calculation recent
ly published in one of the engineering
papers. 1t states that on the worst earth
roads, not muddy, but sandy, a horse can
draw twice as much as he can carry on his
back; on fair road 81 times as much;
on a good macademized road, 9 times as
much; on a smooth plank road, 25 times
as much: on stone trackway, 33 times
as much, and on metal rails, 81 times as
much.

A Warning.

A warning to those persons who
thoughtlessly or otherwise chew tobacco
in church and spit over the floor, is the
fact that minister at Findlay had ar
rested a man who left filthy pool of
tobacco spit in front of him at church
service. The reverend gentleman con-
Quoted his own case, and had the man
bound over to court in the sum of one
hundred dollars.

Infallibly Sure.

A story is going round about man
whose wife had gone visiting and would
not listen to his appeals to come home
before her visit was out. He took copy
of his home paper and carefully clipped
out just one item, then sent the paper to
her. She wrote and asked what the item
was about and he refused to tell her
The scheme worked admirably, and in
less than a week she was at home to find
out what had happened that her husband
did not want her to know about.

THE great Pennsylvania Railroad
Company has turned aside from its
usual channels of business to take a
hand in temperance affairs. 1t has
several hundred men employed at Walls,
east of Pittsburgh, and it has engaged
in the laudable effort to keep saloons
out of the borough, on the ground that
such places will interfere with the eff
cheney of their employees. When great
corporations and employers take hold of
the liquor problem in this way, some
reform in our temperance laws is going
to come sooner or later.

Now that the immediate necessity
for lying about it is over, Democratic
papers are beginning to tell the Truth
about tin plate. All papers of repute
as newspapers of whatever politics con-
tanned last week the report of special
agent from the Treasury department.
The report stated that during the three
months ending with December, the pro-
duction of tin plate in this country had
been increased from ten million pounds
in the preceding three months to twenty
millions. The agent says that next year
the production will reach eighty million
pounds. Will a Democratic Congress
dare to destroy this magnificent industry?

Chicago. There seems to be sort of a
