WHEN President Cleveland stepped out and
Benjamin Harrison stepped in, there was nearly
two hundred millions of dollars surplus in the
U. S. Treasury. A Republican billion dollar
Congress, with criminal recklessness and disre-
gard of their sworn duty, disspated this fund
in all sorts of political jobbery, and when Gro
yer Cleveland was recalled to the Presidency
by the nation, the Democracy was confronted
with an empty treasury.
The enormity of such legislative corruption
is too great to admit of adequate appreciation.
There are ugly features about such crimes that
the people do not readily see until crash comes.
To complete their Treasury onslaught, they
provided bounty to American sugar makers,
whereby fully SIo,ooo.ooo more is taken from
the Treasury each year.
Now an unpleasant fact confronts the nation.
The S1oo, 900, 900 gold reserve fund, on which
the confidence of the business of the country
was supposed to rest, and which was created fol
the purpose OF redeeming U. S. Treasury notes
has been broken into, and there is very little
gold coming into the Treasury. Foreign ship
ments of the yellow metal are heavy, and while
the situation at present seems to be somewha
improved. the question of engineering the mat
ter so as to prevent panics and consequent hard
times, confronts the Administration.
The heritage falling to Secretary Carlisle il
one characteristic of the Republican party
which apparently exists only TO endanger thu
welfare of the country.
Another four years of the Fosters and Harri
sons. and the country would have been involved
in financial muddle of great magnitude ant
disastrous results.
Fortunately for the nation, the party of Wal
Street is not in power, and people may go for
ward in their business with the certainty tina
whatever is best for the country will be done a
the hands of Democratic administration.

The DEMOCRATIC PRESS.
Pen.iora reform

It is gratifying to note the growing disposition
Of the representative Republican press to ac-
quiesce in the wholesome demand for reform in
the administration of the Pension Bureau. In
the recognition of a NATIONAL sentiment, these
papers are acting the part of wisdom, albeit
fhey so roundly abused President Cleveland for
vetoing number Of private pension bills which
appeared to him unworthy of his signature
during the latter days of his frst administration.
s Time has not only vindicated his position with
reference to this class Of legislative abuses. but
has developed hearty acquiescence from the
whole country in his declaration that the
pension roll should be roll of honor"
1t is now admitted with degree of unanim-
ity very encouraging to the cause of good gov
ernment. that the abuses of the past have been
fagrant, and call for drastic measures to prevent
their continuation.
A grateful country delights in honoring its
brave defenders. in compensating them for the
sacrifices made, and providing for their future
Differences of political opinion make no differ
ence in such matters. Every citizen rejoices in
contributing to their just deserts. But the same
regard for their welfare dictates the expunging o.
every unworthy name from the pension rolls
This requires no demonstration or explanatory
remarks.
In the appointment of Judge William Loeb.
ran. of Minneapolis, as Commissioner of Pen.
sions, President Cleveland has apparently made
an excellent choice. A brave soldier himself
and a jurist of eminent distinction, he will un
derstand the claims of the deserving and unde
serving, and will, we are confident, mete out a!
nearly as he can, justice to the soldiers and thi
country alike. s'tl
The country will stand by the Administration
in the attempt to purge the lists and preven
further fraud in pension matters.
While it is utterly wrong for the people to b.
compelled to pay tax tribute to those not en-
titled to public support this of itself could b.
endured without serious hardship. But tn
moral effects of thus encouraging habits of aim
less idleness and legalizing voluntary indigency
is an evil of incalculable harm whose perniciou
influence will be felt for generations to come
1t is growing cancer that should be extirpate
root and branch, and the country relieved of S
uniustifable burden.
That so many Republican papers are in effec
apologlzing to President Cleveland for their pas
utterances, by bidding him God speed in th
new reform, is a matter of congratulation fc
the whole country.

With so much fine weather this fall the
cycling season has been stretched out long
er than usual and although Christmas is
not one month off the road riders are still
enjoying the benefits of their bikes. Last
Sunday the fine weather was taken advan-
tage of by many wheelmen, who found the
roads in fine condition. There was no dust
AMI but little mud. The side paths were
not in as good condition as usual owing
to the heavy frosts just prior to Sunday,
when the ground frUze an inch or two deep
and the thawing out process made riding
too slippery.
On Thanksgiving day the weather was per-
feet for cycling ard many cyclists went
out on the road. There were others who
went to Baltimore to participate in the
races. The event was the annual ten-mile
handicap road race under the auspices of
the Baltimore Cycle Club. The course was
from Belvidere road to Pimlico road, to
Wylie avenue. TO Reisterstown road. to
Belvidere road. This route was traversed
five times to make the ten miles. The I'M
usual crowd of people and vehicles on the
roads Interfered greatly with the cyclers.
and a number Of them did not finish. Sew
eral wheels were smashed by collisions and
their riders were spilled The finish was
In front of Halstead's, on the Pimlico road.
