raE eIEvELasD MYTH.

Senator Lodge, OF Massachusetts,.
made speech In New York city the
esher day, Astounding IN sterling facts
ana not infrequent bitter sarcasm. In
speaking Of the hero worship, paid By
the Democratic party TO its now much
punrsursd idol. Mr.. Lodgs referred TO
IL as the Cleveland myth" ana then
proceeded to tell his interested audience
the meaning of the expression In these
words: What mean by the Cieve-
land myth Is that creation OF serviie
aduiation which undertook 10 make an
idol OF Mr.. Cleveland and raise him TO
the rank Of Llnccsn and Washington.
where he was so Erotesqueiy out of
place
No more vivid OF accurate picture Of
the omissions and commissions of this
bogus reform administration has been
presented than was drawn by Senator
Lodge in the following:
They threatened our finances. and by
thelr bfils In congress and their inter-
views al the treasury department they
have kept in state OF nervous alarm
all the property and money OF the coun-
trs. They tore our tariff 10 pieces. dis
located oar industrial system and rained
business, and yet, with all this sacrifice.
they did not even succeed in SETTING up
their own principles. They took the
Income tax from the Populists, protec-
ton for SosIfslern Industries and t,rs.l5-
ucts from the Republicans. and free
trade or their OWN for most Northern
Industries. and out Of these elements
they made bill which every free trader
desnises. every protecSionist condemns
man Of any party regards with aversion
and contempt

p H. Winston has finally found a
party. He is now a man with both a
country and a party. Inasufuch as the
reasons he formerly alleged fer being a
man WITH country but without a party
were precisely TIE same as those now
advanced for again saksng party into
partnership and announcing himself as
a man with both country and a party,
1t 1t difficult question for ordinary
minds to seriously and adequately take
in the entire situation. This being
aboul the fifth political sonersault Of
this distinguished acroba; since the first
week of last May, and deeming ourselves
incompetent to fifty criticise SO brilliant
q meteor, we respectfully refer the case
so John l.. Wilson, Levi Aakeny, w. c.
Jones, and any other senatorial aspirant
who may he kindly disposed toward the
approaching session of the legislature.
In the meantime We suggest to these
other senatorial aspirants that they fol-
low the advice OF the Post-Intellsgencer
to F. III. w. on his attempt to break
back into the ranks OF tho Republican
party after his return from Yakima last
summer TO get box of matches and
so behind barn in some lonely spot
and proceed to raise a little I'LL all by
himself. We suggest 70 the other sena-
torial asprants that they present the
aforesaid with box of matches when
the legislature convenes al Olympia.

caught ii in the act and killed the fe-
line. and served it up for dinner in
place OF the hare. The substitute was
enjoyed In ignorance by the men at din
ner. All went on sercrely until one
day the cook got on a drunk and gave
the thing away. The boys compelled
him to yagnoose the rancho and jack
rabbits were at discount at Miners
Delight for long time. Nelson Benz
