A RRyAMPRD YARN.

A correspondent of the Atlanta Con-
stitution having taken it somewhat
sharply to task for its tariff position, or
positions. rather, that paper Justifes its
advocacy of the old straddle by revamp-
ing the yarn about Cleveland's action in
1883. 1t says that "Mr. Cleveland sent
to the st. Louis convention a tariff reso-
luton which was a repetition of that of
1884," and that 1.-The resolution was not
offered to the convention"
We have heard this from several
sources before, sources inimical to Mr..
Cleveland; and. as a contribution to the
inside history of the effort to supplant
Cleveland in 1892 with Senator German,
the following may be interesting. If not
valuable. A distinguished senator from
West Virginia, who, in 1891. made a tour
of the continent, ostensiblv in the inter-

German, is the authority.

The travelled man or woman knows
what are the worlds great scenes and
what is the history Of each. He is at

cause he is familiar with its general

in these days of swiftness and compare

1t is no longer necessary, though, to

We are reminded of this when we see
the utter Indifference with which our
good friends of the opposition disregard
the really friendly and we'll meant coun-
sells we have rendered them against the
heedlessness, the folly and the useless
ness of their present course. We point
ed out to them some time ago that their
assertion that the panic was due to the
incoming of a Democratic administra-
ton was a boomerang sure to return
and strike the thrower, because,
when the dust had settled and the
vision of men was again unclouded,
they would see that the panic was but
the elimination OF Republican misrule.

Louis convention Mr.. Cleveland sent
for Mr.. German, and said to him that he
had become convinced that he had made
a mistake in his tariff message of 'S7;
had taken more advanced ground tina n
the country would sustain. and that he
wished the convention to take a more
modified position. He had made a draft
of a tariff plank, he said, which -ex-
pressed the views he thought it polite
for the convention to adopt, and he
wished Mr.. German to take it to st.
Louis and get it adopted by the conven-
ton.
This Mr.. German consented to, and
took the proposed plank away with him.
Meeting Sam Randall a few days after
ward, he showed it to him. without
mentioning its author. and asked him
what he thought Of it. Randall read it
over carefully, and said it was just
what he would like. but "you can't get
the Cleveland crowd to acceptit." Mr..
German went as a delegate to St. Louis,
went Oh the committee of resolutions,
and made a strenuous effort to get the
plank adopted. The committee divided,
% against to 20 for it. The division was
mainly on the line of Mr.. Cleveland's
friends. who opposed the plank, and his
opponents, who favored it.
After the convention the Democratic
press of the country Jumped onto"
German for his treachery TO the real
position of the party, and roasted him
severely, all of which the senator bore
in silence. Asked why he did not give
to the country the facts in the case, and
shift the blame from himself to Mr..
Cleveland. Mr.. German said, with a
dignity which was almost tragic, that
there was but one man in the country
who could tell the facts, and lie would
not. As long as Mr.. Cleveland kept
silence he must.
This was the story the Constitution
refers to as if it were a fact and a justlfi-
cation of It's W straddle. Not to
mention the circumstances that Mr..
Cleveland's course before and since dis
credits the yarn, and that it is as unlike
him as a story could we'll be, the yarn
discreditS that political sagacitv and
shrewdness which, so far. constitute the
foundation for whatever of reputation
Mr.. German has established for himself.
1t stretches credulity too far to ask men
to believe that Mr.. German, knowing
that Mr.. Cleveland's warmest supporters
were opposing his plank, would reject
the overwhelming claim to their sup
port which the mere avoWal of the fact
that the plank was Mr.. Cleveland's own
draft would have been. To be opposed
and beaten by Mr.. Cleyeland's support
ers in Offering Mr.. Cleveland's own
plank, without once% intimating that Mr..
Cleveland was the author of the very
plank whose adoption they were resist
ing. is to attribute to Mr.. German mo-
tives of action that are directly opposite
to those on which mems action is Or
dinarily based. The yarn affords a de-
Tense to the Constitution for its course
which has no foundation whatever.

By Maria Parloa. Boston: Estes Sc
Lauriat. Price, 81. illustrated.
Miss Parloa is the author Of several
books on cooking, notably The APP
pledore Cook Book" and the founder of
two schools of cookery; so she knows
of what she writes. This new volumne
is designed for beginners, for young
housekeepers who have two OF three to
cook for. 1t will teach how to buy
wisely. and prevent the butcher be-
quilting her into buying a flank for first
cut Of ribs, or a round steak for a ten
derloin. 1t will enable her to select
fresh fish, and to discriminate between
an old hen and a pullet. 1t teaches
how to use the materials when bought,
and what to do with leftover food.
There are suggestions not only for all
kinds of household work. but also for
the care of the sick and the furnishing
of a house.
The "Odd Bits OF Useful Knowledge
are worth to a young housekeeper the
price of the book, and all the recipes
are practical and economical.
'Old and Middle English Reader" by
George Edwin MacLean, Phi. D., profess
sor Of English language and literature,
University of Minnesota. New York
and Loudon: Macmillan & Co. Price, 81.
The author says his book sis primarily
an attempt to provide for the learner In
Old and Middle English helps similar to
those which have been furnished in the
best Greek and Latin text books. 1t is
on the basis of Prof. Tupitza's book, a
standard work in German universities.
THE Reader" is a collection of speci-
mems representing the chief dialects of
Old and Middle English during 700
years.
While preparing his work the author
had in mind the wishes of philologlsts,
of those interested In the history of the
English language, and for the literary
student to make a brief comparative
study Of its literature. 'For the practi-
cal teacher and students who have little
time to devote to the study and yet wish
to learn enough Of the Old to under
stand the modern, this book will
furnish them a short and practical
course from the old Anglo-Saxon
through Middle English to the Modern
language.

AN ORGANS ~PERyERs1TY.

The Chicago Inter Ocean is a consist
ent Republican organ. 1t can see no
evil in one who bears it's party's label;
it can find no virtue in him who
wears the Democratic colorS. 1t would
rather take up its residence in sheol
with Republicans than in regions of
eternal bliss in the company of Demo-
Gratis. No scoundrel need fear its lash
il he remain true to the Republican
party faith; the most exemplary man in
the world is sure to receive its denun-
citation if he be a Democrat. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that this paper
should pay its compliments to Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary Gresham
in the following manner, concerning the
much-discussed and little-understood
complications in Hawaii:
1t is a disgraceful position that
Gresham and Cleveland have placed
themselves in. 1t is a condition reached,
as we believe, by steps that have been
unconstitutional as we'll as diSreputable.
Congress should Investigate thoroughly
the history of this thoroughly un-Ameri-
can effort to subvert a popular form of
government and to join with a European
monarchy in imposing a Hawaiian mon
arch upon a nation that was anxious 10
become republican.
The GLOBE is not disposed to quarrel
with the Inter Ocean. 1t could not
convince that paper of Its error, for it is
imperviouS to conviction. Yet it should
not jump OIL the president and his for
eign secretary with all four of its feet in
sucn a heartleSs manner. 1t should
consider that they have feelings-tender
ones, perhaps-and may not have had
the opportunities the l. o. has enjoyed
of informing themselves of the mean
ing of the constitution. They may not
be ware that that instrument treats of
Hawaiian affairs, or of our relations
with any other foreign power. They
may be under the impression that the
provisional government is not a popular
form Of government-that the officials,
who assume to act for the people, have
never been chosen by a popular vote:
that they are not acting under a consti-
tuition adopted by a vote of the people;
that, IN fact, they have 10 constitution
at all, and are simply exercising arbi-
trary power. These facts may not be
known to the Inter Ocean, but they are
known to all the rest of the world.
The fact that the present policy to-
wards Hawaii is a Democratic policy is
all that is needed by the Inter Ocean to
convince it that 1t is utterly bad and
un-American. Even though it had
emanated from the source of all wisdom
it could not receive the sanction of the
between-waters organ, for that would
be rank disloyalty and inconsistent.
For above all thin IS else an organ must
be consistent, even in its stupidity and
~malevolence.

THE PERIL OF ATTENDING
CHURCH.

And now it seems to be perilOus to at
tend church Sunday evenings in st.
Paul.
The laXlty of the "reform administra-
ton" in allowing the city to be overrun
by thieves was demonstrated last even
ing, when a gentleman, accompanied by
his wife, Ell route to church. was held
up and promptly shot for not comply
ing with the orders of the ruffians.
While fortunately the shooting was
not fatal and the wound Inflicted may
not be attended with serious results, it
Is no thanks to Mayor Wright and his
police that the gentleman was not
murdered i'll the presence of his help
less wife.
We speak of Mayor Wright's police
adVisedly. 1t is due Chief Garvin to
say that Mayor Wright long since took
charge of the police and detective APP
polntments. His concert is So great that
he could not brook tie idea of allowing
the chief to be in charge of the police
and responsible for such executive posi-
ton.
1t would not rebound to the glory and
vanity of the reform mayor if the
police force did not feel that to the
mayor and to the mayor alone they are
indebted for their official existence.
1t Is on this ground that the GLOBE
has consistently and properly held
Mayor Wright responsible for his police
force allowing the city to be overrun by
the lawleSs classes, and for the gen.
eral detective imbecility which pervades
the city.
1t is evidently a case of 'like master
like man."
The clergymen of the city should
unite with the GLOBE in requesting the
resignation of the mayor. Ii citizens
on conspicuous streets, almost at the
door of the sanctuary, are held up and
shot on Sunday evenings while Oh their
way to church. it will have a tendency
to diminish the audience and curtail the
evangelical labors of the pastors.
However commemorate ana moral tie
act of attending church may be, citizens
can hardly be expected to take the
necessary risk. under the present cir
cumStanceS.
1t would be q singular commentary
on he's selection of a reform admins
tration' if the churches should be COM
PEELED to sus pend their Sunday evening
services until the reform administra-
ton" resigns or is turned out of power
by all indignant people.
As a moral or religious act the GLOBE
would be far from discouraging church
attendance. but it would be unjust if
tho nphtio xuara NOT oHujcod IF tho rieI-
taken, and those who thereafter brave
the attempt to attend church can arm
themselves for self-protection.
