 Mir. Cleveland has already brok- en the record by being the only President in our history who, hay ing been defeated Tor reelection at the close of his first term, after, ward became President.

Federal Aggression In the States

N. O. Picsyunc.
 Charges of feloniously initiating national bank notes have been made before a United States com missioner against the Governor. Auditor and Treasurer of the State of Mississippi, by detec- tive of the United States Treasu- ry, and the Auditor has been ar rested and admitted to bal to ap- pear for trial. The Governor of Mississippi is to be arrested to- day.
 The penalty for the offense is n fine of not more than S5000, or im- prisonment at hard labor for not more than fifteen years. The charge as has been stated, IS for initiating national bank notes.
 The Legislation of Mississippi authorized the making and lssn- ance of certain State warrants, and the duty of providing them was intrusted to the Governor, Audi tor and Treasurer of the State. Plates were engraved by firm in St. Louis, and fromsthese plates the warrants were printed. They are much in the style ot bank notes, and bear upon them an or der from the Auditor upon the State Treasurer for the payment to bearer of certain sums of money named. They relate only 10 the State of Mississippi, and bear the names and pledges of all its off, cers.
 It is not contended that the words and inscriptions, or the pie torlal and other designs en. graved and printed, on the Missis- sippi State warrants are the same. or in any respect copies. of those matter which appear on the na- tional bank notes. The plain fact is that the Mississippi warrants contain engraved letters and pie torial matters which, being essen- tially different from those on q national bank bote. can necessa- rily have only general and not a specific likeness.
 If the interpretation which has been given to the law by the Chi ted Stat es Treasury be correct, 1t means tb> >at State cannot have prep red any paper bearing upon it any pictures, lettering or other designs in the style known as bank mote engravings. The law against initiating United States
The Monticellonian., 1894-09-21

money has been carried to most ridiculous point within the past few years, so that parties have been prosecuted for painting or en- graving, or printing any word. ob- ject or design, in whole or in part, which appears on any form of Uni- ted States money. Store signs, as big as the side of house on which they were painted, and advertise- ments in newspapers, in which ea- gles and other supposed patriotic objects were represented, have been decided to be limitations of United States money and have been made the basis of criminal prosecution.
 The entire matter would le childish and absurd in the extreme if it were not for the fact that the painting or printing of such trifles were made sufficient pretexts to send people to the penitentiary.
 This excessive caution on the part of the treasury off icers is q recent outburst of official zeal for the care of the finances; but, un- fortunately, it does not make mon ey more plenty, nor does 1t in- crease the gold reserve, matters of far more public solicitude than the prosecuting of citizens for painting and printing eagles and curicles.
 Bat lhe arresting of Governors of States by federal officials is be- coming common affair. Within week the Governor of Colarado was arrested ona charge of vlolat- ing some postal law, and now It is the Governor of Mississippi. Federal interference in the affairs of States, both by judicial process and military force, have become extremely common in these piping times of peace. State lines are rapidly coming to be nothing more than mere limita- ttons for convenience i'll the study of geography. Such is progress; but it is strange progress Tn a democracy when Federal police magistrate is a bigger man than the Governor of the State.

McKinley's Platform.
\ Y. World

\. Y. World
 There are peculiar reasons why Mr. McKinley's speech at Bangor on Saturday will be read with in- terest everywhere.
 It was the opening of Mr. Me kinleys campaign for the Presi- dency, and ..,that campaign was, for reasons, opened in the balli- wick of Thomas B. Reed, distin- guished parsonage is firmly per shaded that Maine has "favorite son" quite as fit as Mckinley to preside over the destinies of the nation, and quite as much entitled as Mckinley to to the Republican nomination.
 In all recent attempts of the re- porters to interview Mckinley he has referred them to this Bangor speech for information as to his attitude, thus making it in advance the chosen kite.shaped track, so to speak, on which he proposes to try his running qualities against those of his rivals.
 The speech sets forth Mckinley's view of the tariff situation, his opinion of the new law and his policy for the future.
 His bitterest complaint of the new law is that 1t is not radical enough, not extreme enough, in its interpl citation of Democratic principles. He would have liked
 it better if it had dealt destructive blows at industry and bought chaos and black night to the coun- try. For in that event the author of the Mckinley law, which the new enactment supersedes, would naturally have been elected Presi- dent in 1896, and what is the pros perity of the country to q consid eration like that?
 A particular cause of complaint on his part is that the new law im- poses a tax upon sugar for the benefit of tho Sugar Trust. But the Democratic House in accept ing the Senate bill passed and sent to the Senate another bill to put all sugar on the free list. There were only eleven votes against it in the entire House. If Mr. Me Kinley's own friends and partisans in the Senate had really desired tG's make sugar free they could have done so by standing with the real Democrats of that body in favor of this measure. It is their own fault that sugar is taxed under the new law.
 Finally, Mr. Mckinley's speech is pteresting because it promises a I newaI of business-blighting tar f agitation if his party can aga ? secure power. The Demoo- rae is disposed to cry "peacc." It not reformed the tariff in the gree 1t desired, but in rec 1gt Pn of the blasting effects of
