TARIFF REFORM.
President Cleveland Says

That

President Cleveland Says That
Promises Must Be Kept.
Washington, Ap:il 23.-Prcsidcnt Clcve-
land has forwarded a letter to Hon.
Chauncey +. Black, president of the Ma
tional Association Of Democratic Clubs,
in which he says:
Your association has lone much by
way of educating our people touching the
particular subjects which are recognized
as belonging to the Democratic faith; but
it seems to me that its best service has
been on enforcement and demonstration
of the truth that our party is best organ
lied and most powerful when it strives
for principles instead of spoils, and that
it quickly responds to the stimulus up
piled by an enlistment in the peoples
cause. This acknowledgment Of the i'm
portant services rendered to the advance
of true Democracy suggests that the Ma
tional Association of Democratic Clubs
and every other eDmocratic organization
should labor increasingly and earnestly
to save our party, in this its time of
power and responsibility, from the degra-
dation and disgrace of a failure to re-
deem the pledges upon which our fellow
countrymen entrusted us with the con-
troll of their government. All who are
charged, on behalf OF the Democratic par
ty, with the redemption of these pledges,
should now be impressively reminded
that as we won our way to victory unde
the banner of tariff reform, so our insist
ence upon that principle is the condition
of our retention. of the peoples trust;
and that fcalty to party organization de-
mlnds the subordination of individual
advantages and wishes and the putting
aside of petty and ignoble jealousies and
chickering's, when party principles and
party integrity and party existence are at
stake. l checrfully enclose Il contribution
to the funds necessary to carry on the
good work of your organization, with a
hearty wish for its continual success and
.seflilnnSs"

WAS LOSING MONEY.
Northwestern Endowment As
sociation Case i'm Court.


Minneapolis, April 23.-Judge Hicks
partially heard the case against the
Northwestern Endowment association in
the district court. After part of the Case
hcd been stated Judge Hicks said he
would have to put the cas- over until
next week, as he wanted to look up the
law on the case. The company was
represented by John Day Smith, who
stated it's condition ,s follows: After
the: OF association had been doing business
for some time the officers discovered that
ncpey would be lost under the endow-
ment scheme. 1t was then proposed to
leave IL the endowment feature, and
issue out regular insurance in some 9TH
er company. The members were noti-
fed, and out of the 1,5O0 about 1,45O
consented to be transferred to some ether
ccn.pany. On this showing Mr.. Smith
thought the receiver t'o.ld be q very ex-
pei sive ard unnecessary luxury, and he
wanted the court TO allow the plan pro-
posed to be followed out in settlement.
Judge Hicks gave it as his opinion that
n receiver would have to he appointed to
wind up the business of the company, as
the company was Incorporated.

Using $4,000 lore. The. mine proved

chase was repudiated. Much money was

ing. Finally Mr.. Sullivan. who was not
financially able to carry the case furth-
er in the courts, assigned his claim to
Mr.. Allerton. The accounting of the
profits which have accrued from q five
thirty-second interest in the mine since
1878 is demanded. While the Home
stake company does not deny that the
legal ownership of the share named is
in Mr.. Allerton, the right to demand a
division of the profits is not recognized.

from $2,O0O,O00 to $33,O0O,OOO. All these,
in expectation of a favorable outcome of
the litigation, have been refused.

The German emperor is

The German emperor is a genuine
wine grower, as Prince Bismarck is
a trader in alcohol and lumber, from
his properties. The vineyards of WILL
lam II. are situated in the most re-
nowned localities along the Rhine, like
Hcckheim, Erbach AMI Hatteinhcim,
where is produced the famous white
wine known by the name Of Steinberg-
er Cabinet. 1t was Il case of this fam
u wine which was sent recently by
the kaiser to Bismarck on the latter's
birthday anniversary-a delicate atten-
ton which re-established the friendly
relations between the ex-chancellor and
the young emperor. The Stcinberger
