Upon what meat doth our Caesar feed,
That he rs grown so great"
Well may this question be asked con-
corning the man who at this moment
tbipketh himself an American Caesar, and
whose dreams are doubtless filed with
pictures of his future greatness and
power. The most autocratic royalty IL
Europe is not surrounded with more rigid
exclusiveness than Mr. Cleveland now
cloaks his most august presence with.
He deems it beneath the dignity OF the
American Cesar to touch the hands OF
plebians: therefore he has abolished the
long established custom Of holding public
receptions in tho White House. Being
applauded by the Fitznoodle press for
that step towards royalty he has nov
gone further and issued ukase that no
person, excepting members OF his cabinet.
shall be admitted to his presence until
they shall have stated their business to
his private secretary and secured the
consent OF that functionary. Think OF a
dignifed Justice of the Supreme Court, a
Senator or Representative who was
prominent before Grover Cleveland WAS
heard Of outside the circle of his Buffalo
chums having to state the nature OF his
business to Mr.. Thurber and get his
approval before being allowed to enter
the Office OF the President. Could
hunkeyism 90 farther under Republican
form of Government? Some people say
that this sudden exclusiveness on the
part 81 Mr.. Cleveland aiiaes from the
morbid fear that be is in danger oil
assassination. Fear is not thing wnicn
Americans are in the habit OF attrlbutinP
to their Presidents, nor is it quality
they admire in any man,
The intense excitement over the bill
for the repeal Of all Federal supervision
of elections, which Democrats expected
to accompany the debate on the bill II
the House and relied upon to unite tn
factions of their demoralized party, ha
not materialized, owing to the good sens
of the Republican leaders in the House
who wisely decline to assist the Demo
crat. to "get together" contentiug them
selves with opposing the bill upon hig
constitutional grounds, and taking I'D
vantage of the debate to visit the World
Fair.
Senator Chandler made one of his slash
ing speeches-he isn't an orator, but b
is an almighty plain tslker-in favor

the Treasury for his authority OF appoint

Appraisers Office Of the port OF Ne'
York. After showing that the appoint
ment OF this commission, as we'll 90 Mt

was unconstitutional, Mr.. Chandler re
marked that it was entirely fitting ths

The truce ia this senate over tho Woo

that it must bs compromise or nothin

Congress will take short recess abe
