THE PRESIDENTS PUNISHMENT.

In a certain sense the President is re-
ceiving the retribution his due for the du-
plcity of his silence a year ago upon the
silver question when written to by Mr..
Blanton Duncan from the silver-producing
country, early in the campaign. Mr.. Dun
can wrote to Mr.. Cleveland telling him that
he was striving to lead Democrats to be-
lieve that he (Mr Cleveland) was not hos
cifc slope States see it To this letter,
which clearly implied that Mr. Duncan was
asserting that Mr.. Cleveland, If President,
would not veto a free-silver-coinage bill,
Mr.. Cleveland replied that he noted what
Mr.. Duncan had said, and approved the
good work he was doing. Thereupon Mr..
Duncan and his associates. upon the i'm
piled approval of what Mr.. Duncan had
been doing to cause the people to believe
Mr. Cleveland friendly to silver legislation,
proclaimed that the Democratic candidate
was in favor Of free coinage. This repre-
sentation won him many votes and few
electoral ballots.
No victim Of the Cleveland fetch can
disclaim the foregoing statement, as both
the Duncan and the Cleveland letters have
been published. and the latter has not de-
MED the authenticity of the letter at
tributed to him. It was. therefore, clear
case of political duplicity. Mr.. Cleveland
may say that there could be no doubt re-
garding his real views. and that Duncan
and his friends chose to be deceived. Yes,
they chose to be deceived because Mr..
Cleveland approved the efforts of Mr. Dun
can to deceive silver people in regard to
his attitude toward the free coinage Of sill
yer. Elected and in office, Mr.. Cleveland
comes very near being gold monometal-
list. A party in the Senate, with a ma
iority of its members hostile to his financial
policy. seems to be a fitting punishment
for the Presidents duplicity with Duncan
and the silver people

The performance of Commissioner Haw-
kins. in regard to the official estimates for
expenditures in the departments under the
Board of Public Safety, is so unique as to
be in harmony with that impudence and
unscrupulousness which make up his pub
lie record. The detailed estimates Of the
expenditures of the departments are re-
CURED by law. These estimates Mr.. Haw-
kins made, and the controller put them into
his statement, which the Mayor approved
and sent to the Council, and which were
adopted by that body under the gag OF the
previous question. The money appropriate
ed, Hawkins borrowed his itemized state
ment from the controller, and has since re-
fused to return It, claiming that 1t is his
private property. Every one who knows
anything about public affairs knows that
the minute Mr.. Hawkins passed that item
lied statement to the Controller it was pub
lie property, and that his getting it and
keeping it, upon any pretext, is much a
theft as If he should pocket some Of the
assets of the indianapolis National Bank.
But what rascality is concealed in the cap
ture of that public paper?

further criticism. Whatever the conse-

bill might be, they would fall on the Demo
