THE PRESIDENTS FIGHT.
A Severe Denunciation of the Spirit
shown by the Chief Magistrate.
Cincinnati ENQUIRER Dem. }

The whole fight of the President against
the Senate bill since ii went into conference
about the lSt of July has been frivolous
and unworthy a chief executive of the
United States. 1t has been merely for the
qualification of dominating. spirit. 1t has
been 10 show that he could mold both
branches of Congress TO his obstinacy
which he has mistaken for will. Even If
the President had secured free coal, free
iron ore and even free sugar, the Wilson
bill would still be a wreck beyond the pow
ers of it's authors to recognize it. Mr.. Cleve-
land demanded the removal of duty on coal
and iron ore, and the cuckoos were taught
TO believe that an acquieScence in these
demands would secure a triumph of that
abnormal piece of legislative mechanism,
the Wilson bill. That was impossible. The
Wilson bill as an entirety has been dead
ever since il was laid on the desk of the
Secretary of the Senate after having been
stampeded through the House last winter.
We do not desire to gloat over the disap-
pointment of Mr.. Cleveland He is still our
President. We rather tender our sympathy.
1t had TO be. He pursuing a course that
had to come to an end. He was assuming
burdens that did not belong TO him. There
had to be a determination of the question
whether the Senate was self-respecting
body responsible to the people of
the executive. II is better to have
time before the President goes out of office.
There Is time for him 10 recuperate. Let
Mr.. Cleveland take courage. His present
disappointment is for the good OF the coun-
try. OF course, there must be season
of deep modification at the White House
at Gray Gables. The man who. encour-
aged by success in other encounters, under
takes 10 dictate 10 the Senate Of the United
States and gets worsted must pass through
a season OF humility. A tender public will
cheerfully grant him fos time the seclu-
sion that Is safest In his present state OF
temper. We doubt IL even the chivalrous
William L. Wilson will venture within the
presidential purview until time has softened
the present asperities. We respect along
with the rest of the people of The United
States the probable desire of Mr.. Cleve-
land TO be "let alone"
We repeat, though, that Mr.. Cleveland
will be President for two years and six
months more, If his life shall be spared,
as we sincerely trust 1t will be, and he
must in a few weeks emerge from his per-
iod OF mourning He is capable of much
good yet If he properly applies the lesson
he has received. Let him not hold a grudge
against the Senate or against anybody who
has been opposed to him. Those who have
crossed him resorted TO such extreme with
great reluctance and only because il was
the only means of subscribing the public

The making of such diamonds as Mois-

monds of commercial size and value. The
main difficulty had been overcome, but the
subsidiary difficulties were still very con-
siderable, and for a year past Moissan mas

energy, producing diamonds OF larger and
larger size and more and more perfect
Hmpidity. The stones are very small, now

diamonds or his diamond process will i'm

of a stone which has no intrinsic value ana
is esteemed only because of its rarity.
Moissan's work during the past year has
been varied and as detailed in his own
words, is most ingenious. The ideal point
aimed at by his method is to soldify the
molten iron slowly in the shape of a sphere.

there is no reason to doubt that it will be.
and if diamonds retain their value, pure
gems of the size of the Kohi-noor or the
great Russian diamond will be found in
side of iron balls, and will attain dimen-
sions that, from the standpoint OF pre-
ciousness. will be somewhat absurd. Al
any rate, he believes, as does Professor
Dunstan also, that diamonds of any rea-
sonable size will. in the course of time
easily result from the present process.

The Administration and the Soldiers.
Cincinnati Commercial Gazett


On the 10th day of June 1893. Repre-
sentatives Bynum and Bretz. of Indiana,
called at the Interior Department TO try
and secure an appointment for an Indiana
Democrat. After attending to the interests
of their constituents .one of the Congress
men complimented Secretary Smith upon
his pension policy. the other Joining him.
The Secretary thanked the gentlemen for
their compliment. but said, 1T IS not my
policy: il is the policy of the administra-
ton agreed upon at Cabinet meeting.
Now we know who il is that has cut
off the pensions of several thousand sol
diers We know who it is that has thrown
every obstacle in TIE way of the poor,
crippled veteran in the effort to secure
little money to ease the road down the de-
cline over which he is passing into the
grave. 1t is the administration. 1t is the
Democratic party. The responsibility can
not be shuffled off upon the shoulders of
Secretary Smith. He declines to accept it.
Indiana soldiers and their friends must
think well before voting for the two In
diana Representatives who pose as the
friends of the soldiers and who indorse the
pension policy of this administration. Let
them question the Democratic candidates
who renominated and what they
will say. We give the names of the two
members of whom this is written. They
have both been renominated. They will de-
clare that they are in favor of doing
everything for the soldier just as they

Matthews Is Wrong.
Philadelphia Record Dem.)

Governor Matthews. of Indiana, in touch
ing upon the silver question in his speech
before the Democratic State convention,
yesterday, made the very common mistake
of declaring that 1.-The debtor classes of
this country constitute by far the largest
part of our citizens" Precisely the reverse
of this is true. The whole body of laborers
for hire must be added TO the creditor class.
They are from necessity habtually credit
ors, and always will be until the time shall
for their work This being the case II fol-
lows that, of all other men, the laboring
man has the greatest and most constant in
terest in honest money. 1t is of the first
Importance to him that every dollar he re-
ceives shall be always exchangeable for n
dollars worth. IL is true. as Daniel Web
ster long ago observed. that no device was
ever invented so well calculated TO rob hon
est labor of the fruit of toll as cheap and
dishonored money.
