Clereland's Unpspularlty.


An exchange treating the subject Of
Cleveland's unpopularity has thi to say:
Who is he? Who out Grover Cleve-
land. President Of the United States?
Mr.. George Ticknor Curtis made the
prediction a year ago that within tive
years from that date, Cleveland would
be ;be most unpopular man in the Uni
ted States file is now pluming himself
on the ver' fcatlen of the prediction. -
Mr.. Curtis, however, deserves very lit
tie credit for his acumen. 1t was inev-
liable that Cleveland should become an
popular, and every man who thoroughly
understands the workings of the tariff
could have made the same prediction
with absolute certainty that it would be
verified by the result
There are two reasons for Clsveland's
great unPOpullrity wits the masses
The first of these is, of course, the bust
ness depression which has fallen upon
the country as the result Of the work of
carrying into effect his low tariff ideas.
His celebrated free trade message COM
mitted himself. and through him, his
party, to the policy Of tariff smashing. =
The evils that have already come upon
the country, and those which are to fol-
low as the result of the enactment Of the
Wilson bill into law, are naturally and
properly laid at his door by the plumber
ed and deceived people.
The second is the fact that the people
are finding out Mr.. Cleveland as he re-
ally is. There has been no stronger
case of national deception regarding the
personality of any one than that re gard
ing the President. Curbed, as he was,
during his first term by Republican CEN
troll in the Senate, be had no opportuni-
tY to shsw himself in bis true colors. So
This is all changed. What was former
ly deemed courage and resolution is now
known to be stolid and boorish obstina-
cy. His greatness of spirit has been
found to be a fgment of the Imagination,
as is amply evidenced by his coirse in
the Hawaiian matter, bis ungsnerous ref
erences to Blaine and Harrison in his
message thereon, his bringing of polit-
ical quarrel wish Hill into the Senate,
through his appointments to the Su-
preme Bench. and in numerous Other
ways.

Under the constitution, unless Presi-
dental candidate has ! majority of the

choice devolves on the House; and this
contingency is deemed likely to happen
in 1896, unless the sopdtions change
considerably. The prediction is based
on the great and growi4g unpopularity
of Cleveland. Alreadykit is admitted

Car Loads 1f Human Hair,

Eight cars loaded with human hair
arrived in Paris recently. consigned to
dealers in that merchandise. The hair
came from India and China, whence
thousands of pounds are annually sent
to England and France. This traffic,
a foreign medical journal says, is the
cause of the introduction of many dis.
eases to Europe. The hair is cut from
persons after death in China, and al
though it is disinfected upon arrival
in France, 1t often carries the germs
of disease. Asiatic hair, owing in part
to its coarseness, can be purchased
cheaply, it selling often M low as
twenty cents kilogram. The hair of
Europeans, however, averages about
$40 for the saIae amount. Chicago
