THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.

The Presidents utterances are gencr-
ally distinct, outspoken and to the
point. His letter OF Yesterday partakes
of this character There Is no oppor-
tunty of misunderstanding what MI
Cleveland means. The conference, he
says, is not alone to reconcile differences

whether Democratic principles are 10

figured by the Senate g. an abandon

The President insists that no tariff
measure can accord with Democratic
principles that docs not provide for
free raw materials in the interest OF
the people and the manufacturers. and
he severely critcises those Democrats
who would put the wool OF the farmer
on the free list and place the protec-
ton OF tariff taxation around ;he iron
ore ard coal OF corporations and Capi-
talists.
The letter oCCasioncd some surprise by
Its suggestion that in carrying out DEM

of sugar for proper purposes and within
reasonable bounds may be entirely lc-
gitimatc. He believes that on the
treatment of this article some ground

anti-Cleveland organs. But the Ameri-

advice, the country would be better off

ON TRIAL AT LAST.

me iflal OF the accused Police cap
tam Doherty and his ward men, lIoch
ana M"ehan, at Police Headquarters
yesterday was threatened with inter
fuption at the beginning by the SER
vice OF writ of prohibition. granted
by Judge Dugro. OF the Superior Court
directing the commissioners to show
cause why they should not be enioined
from proceeding with the cases
The writ took the commissioners by
surprise. but Mr.. Welman at onr,
recognized the situation. and. after NOV
ing an adjournment until = o'clock. has
tened over to Judge Gildersleeve's
court and moved that the writ or order
he vacated. Mr.. Con- was present in the
court with the counsel for the nc
cused policemen, but Judge Gilderslcevc.
after IA brief examination OF the writ
vacated It, The parties then returned to
Police Headquarters, and In the after
noon the trials proceeded, the effort to
interrupt them having signally failed.
1t seems "A very poor policy to seek to
prevent fair and prompt trial of the
accused officers. There Is no other way
OF getting them Off the force IL they
are guilty, and certainly no true re-
former can favor their retention. The
l.eXow Committee In especial has OK
pressed its conviction that the accused
officers are guilty. and certainly no
person connected with that Commit
tee can fail to desire their removal from
the force.
Besides, there is every promise OF
gain for the Committee in its future
work by allowing the police trials to
proceed. II has been said they will
result in whitewashing the defendants.
II so. the escape OF the accused will
be a serious charge against the Com
missoners themselves. 1t is also said
that the captains and ward men can
implicate the Commissioners in the
crimes alleged against the force. II
the Commissioners convict and dis
charge the men who are alleged to be
their accomplices, ii is much more like
~ that testimony can be secured against
the former than II would he II the de-
| PENDANTS are allowed to escape.
The object of all these Investigations
| is to purify the force. How can this he
done IL single blackmailer is left In
charge OF precinct as captain or
| ward man.
Let the suspected men have fair
trials. and II the evidence is conclu-
| sive against them, let them be weeded
out of the force as rapidly as possible.

all right. but wish to protest against this unbe-

quite agree with Maid Marion when
she says love is not fallscy. Stil. must say
her definition OF love is to say the least, in
definite. Cupid is but a hireling in the hands
Of fate, and must act accordingly. Love is a
sort OF decoction invented by the gods to make
us mortsls happy or unhappy. as the case might
be. 1t IL a feeling Of intense admiration. a
feeling of heavenly bliss entertained for a
member OF the opposite sex mot a sister or
brother; a feeling that We must constantly be
in the sight and hearing OF the one we adore.
Love is an optimistic feeling which cheers us
in our hours Of dependency, and II anything
should occur TO mar this sensation. it would
leave us more miserable than ever. and. per-
chance. cause to become desperate. The
most emarkable thing about the little man

the course OF his wandcrings over the mundane
sphere he is no respecter Of age or person. but
