1t seems To be pretty well settled that
Judge Gresham will be secretary Of
State, in alr. Clevcland's cabiDet, and it
is also settled that the rank and file Of
the Democratic party arc not at all
pleased with the selection of this dis
tlngulshed Republican mugwump. Sen
ator Palmer put the Whole matter in d
nutshell the other day when he said
that the nomination Of Judge Gresham
conveyed the idea that the Democratic
party was "short" on statesmen. Dem-
ocratic dissatisfaction over tho nomina-
ton of Judge Gresham, is aifording the
Republicans a great deal of pleasure,
and they declare that it is evidence of
MIR. Clevcland's intention TO lead his
party 10y. the nose. The Democratic
party at the present time is not saying
much, but is doing vast amount of
Watching, and it is quite probable that
ii Mr.. Cleveland manifests desire to
bend it to his will he may suddenly dis
cover that it is much bigger than he is.

Why will farmers pay 12s cents Del

better and healthier meat at home for
one-fourth the cost, is question hard
to answer. Instead OF selling their cat

to their advantage to pickle their beef

DARING BURGLARY

Perpetrated in Daylight on Howe
 Street Yesterday.
 A daring burglary was committed in broad daylight yesterday In one of the principal resident streets of the city. Be- tween 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon the house of W. F. Adams, 1O5 Howe street, was entered by burglars during the absence of Mr. Adams and his family, and property of the value of s350 was stolen. There is at present no clue to the identity of the burglars.
 The burglar or burglars effected an en- trance into the house by breaking in the basement door snd then the door leading from the basement to the upper portion of the house. Upon their arrival here they opened and rsnsacked all the bureau drawers in the house and succeeded in ob- tsining jswelry and other articles of value as stated. The burglary was committed whiie the members of the household were out making a call in the immediate vicinity of their home.

union soldiers. The gentleman had stated 1 that this was in pursuance of the declara- | ton which had been made some years ago that the democratic party would never 1 cease until the last vestige of war leoisls-
 tion had been wiped from the statute
 books. That charge had been made against MT. Blackburn of Kentucky when he was a member of this body-the charge that he had made use of that expression But burn; and he (Mr. Oatee) defied the gentle man to find such remark in the CopQres. sional Record.
 MT. Boutelle said that he did not remem- Der who it was that had made the remark.
 Mir. Enloe of Tennessee, speaking in fa- vor of the proposed amendments, said the time had come when 8 line should be drawn between the pensions granted to men who served their country from patri- otic motives and to men who fought mere ly for pay.
 MT. Rockwell of New York denied that the democrats were opposed to granting proper pensions. He referred to a news paper report that MT Fassett of NewYork had refused to use his influence in behalf of an old pensioner because the latter was democrat.
 Mr. Cummings of New York opposed the amendment withdrawing the pension of widows who were not married within five years after the end of the war.
 The bill was then read for amendments. The first one offered was that recommend ed by the committee on appropriations transferring the pension bureau from the interior to the war department. Against this amendment Mir. Dingley of Maine raised point of order.
 After the debate the chairman, MT. Wilson of West Virginia, reserved his decision until the other amendments should be submitted.
 Mr. Dipglsy also raised point of order against the second amendment of the com mittee which authorized the secretary of war to detail from the medical examiners in the record and pension office, 120 per sons for the purpose of dischargiDg the duties now exercised by the examining surgeons of pensions.
 This point was also passed over without prejudice.
 MT. Martin of Indiana, chairman of the | committee on invalid pensions, protested | against the invasion of the jurisdiction of 1 the committee on invalid pensions by the | committee on appropriations.
 Without acting on any of the committee i the house adjourned.
