President Cleveland on the Unlaw-
full Assemblages at Chicago.
THE INNOCENT ESPECIALLY WARNED
The City Virtually Placed Under Martial
Law-Mr. Cleveland Says There VIII
Be No Hesitation In the Treat
ment Of the Guilty.

WASHINGTON, July e.-Just before
midnight last night President Cleve-
land issued the following
PROCLAMATION BIZ TEE PRESIDENT.
Whereas. BY reason of unlawful obstruc-
tlons- combinations and asScmolageS OF per
sons. il has become imprac ticabie IN the judg-
ment OF the president. to enforce, by the
ordinary course Of judicial proceedings, the
laws OF the United States within the state OF
Illinois and the city Of Chicago within said
state; and
Whereas. That for the purpose Of enforcing
the faithful execution Of the laws of the United
States and protecting its property and remov-
ing distractions to the United States in the
state and city aforesaid. the president has en-
ployed part OF the military forces of the
United States.
Now, therefore, I. Grover Cleveland, pteSi-
dent OF the United States. do hereby admonish
all good citizens. and all prisons who may be
or may come within the city and state afore-
said, against aiding, countenanciuS, encour-
aging or taking any part in such unlawful OBJ
structions. combinations and aSSem6lageS; and
1 hereby warn all persons engaged in. or in
any way connected with such unlawful OBJ
structions, combinations and aSSemblageS, to
disperse and retire peaceablT to their respect
i've abodes before Il o'clock noon, July @.
Those who disregard this warning and per-
sist in taking part with riotous mob in forci-
bly, resisting and obstructing the execution Of
the laws of the United States or interfering
with the functions OF the government or de-
strcying OF attempting TO destroy the property
protection, cannot be regarded otherwise than
public enemies.
Troops employed against such a riotous mob
will act with all moderation and forbesrance
consistent with the accomplishment Of the de-
sired end, but the necessities that confront
them will not with certainty permit discriEni-
nation between guilty participants and those
who are mingled with them from curiosity and
without criminal contempt The only safe
course, therefore, for those not actually unlaw-
fully participating is to abide at their homes
or at least not to be found in the neighborhood
OF riotous assem- blsgeS.
While there will be mo- hesitation vacilla-
ton in the decisive treatment of the guilty this
warning is especially intended to protect and
save the innocent.
In testimony whereof hereunto set my hand
and cause the seal of the United States to be
hereto afixed.
Done at the city of Washington this sth day
Of July, in the year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and ninety-four, and of the in
dependence of the United States Of America

lNEtusNeEs That MOLD.
a Parents Problem .na = sabiesslss NM

a Parents Problem and Subjective Hint
Two
1t is often problem with parents
whether il. Is better to save for the
children or TO spend for them; whether
the wiser way is to live very frugaily
and plainly, keeping watchful eye on
every expenditure in order that for
tune may accrue by the time the little
ones are grown, that land may be added
to land and house to house, so that the,
father, when it comes to making his
last will and testament, may havs-
something to leave and distribute
among his heirs, or, on the other land.
whether q judicious investment Of
means all the way on is nat really the
better thing for the children.
In the one case lessons OF seH-denial-
and thrift are certainly instilled-the-
boys and girls learn the value of
money; sometimes they learn to look
upon money as the only good rather as
the means to an end In the other
case they are surrounded by beautiful
things during the period when impress
sions are most readily taken, and when
character is nodded, and the style Of
the future man and woman formed for
life.
One thing may be set down as abso--
lutte, without exception: there is not
only folly, but lack OF integrity. in de-
hberately living beyond ones means,
and children who are brought up in a
home where they see little care
for the payment OF just debts prompt
ly and fully are in great danger of
becoming themselves dishonest. Grant
ing, however, that the parents have . -
sufficient income to pay their way with
out too much anxiety, it would seem
that the truer economy OF life would
be to spend freely rather than grudg-
ingly.
A beautiful environment helps to-
mold character. Children who grow
up in home in which they are used to-
elegance and refinement absorb these
qualities from the atmosphere If the
mother has sufficient help in doing her
work to enable her to give much Of
herself to the children, the-children
are the gamers Contact with pictures
and books is in itself elevating. 1t is a
good thing to live in a house where
books abound, even if one does little
more than become familiar with their
bindings, and the chances are that in a
house where books multiply there will
be good deal of household reading
Every fine engraving helps to form the
child's love of art. Music and musical
instruments assist in producing that
gentleness and sweetness which go far
to oil the machinery of living.
Upon the whole they are wise who
discount the future and SOW largely
and literally in the sunshine of the
present. Whatever may be taken from
children amid the chances and changes
the years may bring, the pleasures
which are freely given them while they
are growing up become part and parcel
of life and thought, and never can be-
taken away.-Harper's Bazaar.

ALL the newspapers of Paris eu1ogize
Emperor William, of Germany, for or
dering the release of Lieuts. Dagony
and Malevas, the two French officers
convicted of spying upon the fortifica-
tons of Kiel. The socialist organs
urge the French government to initiate
the clemency of the German emperor
and grant amnesty to its own political
prisoners. The outburst of gratitude
toward Germany may pave the way for
much better permanent feeling. Ger
many, since her spat with England
over the Congo treaty, has been feeling
much more sympathy for France than
for years past and the murder of Presi-
dent Carnot seems to have increased
the bonds of friend1iness between the
two nations.

REPRESENTATIVE MCCAIN, chairman

which he will soon present to Presi-

believes that contract between the

form of such a contract. 1t is, OF
