Mr.. Cleveland has great dread Of
the coming winter. The part Of his
duties that most worry him is the re-
ception of visits from senators and mem
bers OF the house. Mr.. Cleveland loves
his ease and receives callers with great
reluctance. He has become very fond
of his quiet life out at his country seat,
free from all interruptions and annoy
ances, and it is feared he will not keep
his doors open any too much during
the coming winter. The men who
want to get st him two or three times a
week will find the way anything but an
EASY road to travel. If the President
keeps up his seance with the gout and
shuts himself in the White House there
will be more lusty howlings from the
faithful, who can't get over the old idea
that this is a democratic country and
the Presidents time is anyone's but his
own. Another thing the President
breads is the coming social season. The
Chicago Herald thus depicts the Presi-
dents ordeaIs:
There is a New Year reception at the
White House, az which he and Mrs. Cleve-
land are expected to stand in one spot for
three or four hours and shake hands with
about a thousand persons an hour. Then
come a number Of other receptions, each OF
them almost as trying TO the principal
actors, and all equally stupid. During his
first term in the White House Mr.. Cleve-
land had a bad foot from the same cause
which gives him pain now, but he was
younger at the presidency business then
ana more eager TO please. One New Years
dav he took his stand IN the blue parior and
shook hands with 5000 persons with y
smile upon his face and pleasant words Of
greeting upon his lips, though every mo-
ment was one of rheumatic torture. Wher
the ordeal was over tue President went up
stairs and mopped the beads Of perspira-
ton from his brow, took a big drink Of
whisky, swOre a good round oath at the
stupidity Of the New Year reception non
sense handed down 70 him as tradition Of
the fathers and then began To feel little
better. IL would surprise no one, in case
his rheumatic govt keeps up, if he cuts the
New Year reception this year or mCdiies
il in some form TO save himself the agony
OF standing three or four hours riveted to =
spot couseerated to the qualification OF
mere public curiosity.

discussion, and to take vote on the
ouestion. At present the public inter-
est is suffering for the want OF such a
rule, and il did suffer in the long and
needlessly drawn outdebates on the silv-
ar and tariff bills. At this Time an error
in the tariff needs to be corrected, and
certain proposed acts of amendments
should be acted on without delay. But
the minority takes stand against any
legislation whatever, however great the
necessity, on the subject of collecting
the revenues. This obstruction is in
tended by the minority to promote its
party interests, while it is greatly inJu-
rlous to the pn5lic welfare.

York for Europe last year was
carried under a foreign flag. or 1000
vessels passing the Suez canal in the last
three years, only six have been Ameri-
can. Every civilized nation but the
United States allows its citizens the use
of the national flag over vessels in for
eign trade wherever bought, and yet
the United States, once proud OF Its
merchant marine, goes blindly on pur-
suing a policy which keeps the Ameri-
can flag of the sea and makes it
stranger in foreign parts. No wonder
the President thinks the law comes
near being a relic of oarbarism.

ATTENTION is called to the tact that,
IS result Of what the Republican
journals call ''the greatest political vic
tory Ia the history Of the country" not
a single negro was elected to Congress.
This prejudice against the colored voter
is manifest here 10 Wheeling. The col
ored people would like to have repre-
sentative in the City Council, but the
expression Of such desire has called
forth a decided protest from the party
managers. The negro may help achieve
Republican victories, but he may not
share the spoil.

Mr.. JOHN X. CowEN, OF Baltimore,
whose knowledge Of railroad affairs en-
titles him 30 rank as an expert, declares
"that the passage Of the railway pool

the purchasing clause Of the sherman
act" Mr.. Cowen says that 95 per cent.

NEED A CHANCE.

The Senate rules need change, says
Senator Vest, Of the Finance Committee.
Under the old Jules established half
century ago, a minority Of Senatsrs
can prevent final action by the majority
upon aRy subject The minority can
prevent the correction OF an error in s
law, as in the case Of wood alcohol, as
Il stands in the new tariff, the error
su01eeting the government TO much
trouble. Under these Anticipated rules
the minority can and DO prevent the
passage Of laws clearly demanded by
ths people. Senator Vest says be has
in the past opposed q elOture rule
which would enable the majority to
pass the more important bills OF the
session. But be has changed

WHO Is REsPONsIBLE.

President Cleveland and Secretary
Carlisle are endeavOring TO have per-
'ected a plan for reform of the currency,
and in discussing the various schemes
that will be offered the fact will not be
overlooked that to the unwise financial
legislation of the Republican party is
due the present condition Of the national
finances. But for the repeal by Dem
oeratic Congress OF the Sherman silver
purchase act it would have been next to
impossible to maintain the credit OF the
government. And in another aspect
the untoward financial situation is due to
Republican legislation. The treasury
deficit is the work of that party. The
Republican party at the beginning Of
Hsrrison's administration found a sur
plus in the treasury Of more than hun
dred millions. At the close Of Harri-
sons ADMINISTRATION that surplus had
disappeared and current expenditures
could only be met Oy eXtraOIuIuaIS
measures. Last year, still under Re-
publican legislation, the deficit in round
numbers was sixty-nine millions, though
there had been decrease in ordinary
expenditures under control of the
Democratic House Of fifteen millions
as compared with 1898; and with the
best economy attainable it is estimated
the current year will show a deficit OF
some twenty millions. II was the ex-
travagauce Of the Republican Billion
dollar Congress that dis'ipated the sur
plus Of one hundred millions by extrav-
agant appropriations. 1t was the
Mckinley bill that decreased the
treasury receipts by decreasing imports.
1t Is now left for the Democrats in Con-
gress to enact wise financial measure
that will at least repair part Of the
damage done.

The critics who will have it that the
President and Secretary Gresham have
Numbered in the eastern matter, that
they have Numbered IN the Bluehelds
incident and that they are laundering
all along the line, refuse TO be comfort
ed. just now they are more fierce about
the surrender of the two Japanese stu
dents accused of being spies than any
thing else, and perhaps the declaration
of the japanese Minister that the
United States did precisely what any
government would have found it neces-
sary TO do under the circumstances may
appease the faultfinders. Not much
in reason can be expected OF them,
however, for they continue to talk OF
the snubbing which japan administered
the United States in face OF the known
facts that negotiations for peace are
progressing with the United States
diplomatic agents serving as the chan
mel of Communication. 1t seems to be
a case of damned il you do and damned
II you don't with these wild-eyed
grumblers, for one Republican paper
denounces Gresham for sitting idly by
while Great Britain grabs territory IL

quite as savagely for trying to max

PREMIER THOMPSON DEAD.
Canada's Prime Minister Expires
Suddenly at Windsor.


Sir John s. D. Thompson, Premier OF the
Dominion OF Canada, died suddenly at
Windsor, England, shortly after adjourn
mens of the council which ho went to Wind
sor to attend. He was accompanied by the
MARQUIS OF Ripon, Henry Hartley Fowler,
Secretary OF State for India, and Arnold
Morley, Postmaster. General. After Sir John
had been sworn In as q member OF the
Ousen's Privy Council, he sat at luncheon
with the Marquis Of Ripon and others, when
he was suddenly taken I'll. Doctor Ellison,
Surgeon In Ordinary to the household AT
Windsor, was summoned, but Sir John was
dead before the doctor arrived. He succeed
ed Sir John Abbott as Premier OF the Do
minion Of Canada two years ago.
Sir John Thompson was born in Halifax.
Nova Scotia, November 10, 1874, his father
being native OF Ireland. He had the best
education that city afforded, at the public
schools and the Free Church Academy. For
some years after leaving school the future
statesman reported the proceedings OF the
Nova Scotia Legislature, and during the In"
tervals between the sessions studied law
with Henry Pryor, afterwards Stpendiary
MAGISTRATE. He was called to the bar In
July, 1865, and after a successful practice
was appointed Queens Counsel In 1879.
During this period he was counsel for
the United States Government. acting
with the American lawyers, before the
Fishery Commission sitting at Halifax un-
der the provisions OF the Washington treaty.
He married In 1870 Miss Annie E. Aasck,
and became convert to the Roman Cath
Ollie Church. In October, 1879, he was ap-
pointed q member Of the Executive Council
and Attorney General OF his province, hay-
ing run and being successful as member
for the County os hntlgonish IN 1877. He
was Premier and Attorney General from
May 25, 1882, to July IS, 1882, when, on the
death Of Judge Rigley ne resigned, and was
made Judge Of the Supreme Court OF Nova
Scotia. He resigned this Office September
o5. 1885, and Joined the Dominion Govern
ment as Minister Of Justice and Attorney
General OF Canada, being elected again for
his old county,, Antigonish. He was re-
elected against most determined opposition.
In 1888 he was created by Her Majesty
KNIGHT Companion OF st. Michael and St.
George for his services In connection with
the negotiations OF new fishery treaty. OF
which the Right Hon. Mr.. Chamberlain was
Chief Imperial Commissioner. In his min
isterial posts he displayed great intellectual
force and subtlety, with a keen grasp OF the
whole political situation. However, with
many admirable qualities for leadership. his
long judicial training gave to his manner an
ausrerity which was the worst feature IN the
great Liberals leadership OF the Opposition.
He had strong powers OF debate, and most
untarnished private character. He was q
most unpretentious and even, It Is said by
those who knew him intimately, dif1dens
man, and an easy victim TO the wiles and
subterfuges OF the practical politician
