Collapse Of the Integument.

In an interview printed in the Commercial
Advertiser of September 10. 1859, Mr. Grover
! Cleveland, then out of Office and a csntiidate
for reelection. uttered this really admirable
| sentiment:
| III among those counted as Democrats,
there are found timid souls, not we'll grounded
In the faith, who long for the flesh pots of
vacilating shifts and evasions, the answer IN
! their fears should be: Party honesty IL

In speech before the New York Business
Mems Democratic Association, on January X
1882, when Mr.. Cleveland was viewina.. will
solicitude the near approach of the date for
the Democratic National Convention he ad
ministercd this tonie TO the conscience of the
Democracy:
we have given pledges TO the people, and
they have trusted us. Unless we have ont
grown the Democratic spirit of Jackson
time. our duty is plain. Our promise was nor
merely to labor in the peoples cause until we
should tire of the effort. or should discover n
way which seemed TO promise easier and
quicker party ascendancy. The service we
undertook was not To advise those waiting for
BETTER days that their cause was hopeless. or
to suggest cessation OF effort These pied ,es
and promises should he faithfully ana hon
estiy Kept. Party faithlessness is party dis
honor"
In speech delivered at Providence, Rhodc
Island, on April 2. 1892, when the time for tho
Convention to nominate Democratic candi-
date for President was only few weeks
away, Mr. Cleveland again sounded on the
bugle note that was loud, high and nobly
clear:
1--WE unified our party not by any surren-
der to the alf-hearted among our members.

The people of New England and es-
pecially of Providence will be pleased
70 learn of the success that has attended
the efforts of the receivers of the New
England Road in securing important
privileges In New York city. They
have made an arrangement with the
New York Central whereby the New
England will have freight facilities At
all the Centrals depots in New York
city, while the passenger traffic Is also
accommodated.
With the reorganization now assured
with competent men in control, il begins
to look as though tho New England's
future held ont some hopes Of the roads
being more than the football for specu-
iators and to no city in New England
does the success Of the New England
road mean more than TO the CITY Of

of Columbia and points out the most
recent break. In the platform loosely
nailed together in 1892 at Chicago by
the Democracy was the following:
"We hold that the officials appointed
TO administer the government of any
territory, together with the District of
Columbia and Alaska, should be bona
hde residents of the territory or district
IN which their duties are to be per-
formed"
This the people Of Washington say
means primarily me recordership
OF that district. Campaign funds were
collected there on the distinct under
standing that the plank should be en-
forced and resident appointed recorder
of deeds.
Instead of keeping this pledge DEM
ocratic President and Senate appoint
negro politician from Kansas to this
most lucrative position in order to gain
a certain per cent. of the negro vote and
to reward political services rendered
during the last campaign.
No wonder the Washington Star says
that the Office is not national in any
phase, and something should be done
which will prevent the national shame
and disgrace of continuance of the
present uses of this position, and remove
source of constant Fiction between
the people of the Capital and the Ma
Iional Executive and Legislature.

The remarkable growth of Republican senti.

signs OF current events. Within two weeks
20 Republican clubs have been organized In
that State. These clubs mark the headway
which protection principles are making In a
State which, during recent years, has been

HIS IMITATION 100 GOOD.


just Retribution Visited Upon a FroIic-
some PennsylvanIan.
A well-known resident of Manayunk
has the reputation of being the best
imitatOr of the calls of birds or beasts
in the city. His imitation of the cater
wauling of a Thomas cat, says the
Philadelphia Record, is simply irresist-
ible, and when he gets out into the
back yard for practice all the felines
for squares are soon gathered in close
proximity. A few nights ago he came
to grief in an effort to have some fun
with a grabbed neighbor. About II
o'clock he stationed himself outside of
a board fence surrounding the mans
residence and began meowing in a low
tone, gradually rising, until high c
note was perfected. In a few minutes
the window was raised and sundry
articles were thrown in the direction

of the supposed night nowler. The
howls then increased in volume, finally
reaching the ear-cracking quality.
The aroused neighbor could stand the
racket no longer, and, stepping down
stairs, opened the door quietly, slipped
out, seized clothes-prop and made for
the vicinity of Mr.. Thomas, who at
that time polled his head above the
fence and received a stunning blow,
which knocked him insensible. lie

eight times and produces now al
most as much as Germany and all
the rest of the world taken together,

the production of pig iron our
growth has been even more re-
markable. In 1865 the pig produc-
ing countries ranked with Great
Britain first, then France, Germany
and the United States, Great
Britain alone producing almost six
times as much as the United States.

Commodore Joseph S. Skerrett, VIII o
has just become Rear Admiral Skier
rett by the retirement of John Irwin,
has the reputation, according to the
Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Herald, of being the best naviga-
tor in the navy. He was born in Chill
licothe, O., January is, 1888, and when
he was old enough had the choice Of
fered to him by the congressman from
his district of going either to Annap-
oils or West Point. He chose Annapo-
lis, and in 1854 was graduated at the
head of his class. Within the next
year he was made lieutenant and was
attached to number of vessels.
While on the Saratoga he assisted in
the capture of the Nightingale, an
American SLAYER, with LOCI slaves on
board. Service on the slave coast in
war time did not satisfy Lieut. Skier
rett, although he rose to be first lieu
tenant and executive of the ship, for
he wanted to be in the thick of the
fighting at home. But some one had
prejudiced Secretary Welles against
him by telling him that Mrs. Skerrett
sympathized with the south. Lieut..
Skerrett had married the belle of Wash
ington, Miss Margaret Love Taylor, the
daughter of Capt. A. Sydney Taylor, of
the marine corps, and the grand
daughter of Joseph Meehan. librarian
of congress and well-knOwn littera-
teur. Miss Taylor was very bright, as
well as very beautiful, and had many
admirers and friends in Washington
and throughout the south. Secretary
Welles had no reason whatever to
doubt the loyalty of Lieut.. Sl1errett,
but he was evidently sufficiently af-
fected by what was said to him about
Mrs. Skerrett's southern friendships to
be unwilling to give Skerrett a fair
chance to show his devotion and achieve
distinction in the face of the enemy.
