THE PRESIDENT POSITION.
Grover Cleveland's marvellous backbone
was never more creditably displayed than
in the crisis now upon the country. He
recognized from the first that the foremost
duty of the president of the United States
is at all times to maintain the authority of
the federal government, which was defed
by the stopping of mail facilities guarau-
teed to the people by the national govern
ment, and by the refusal of rioters to obey
the Judicial orders regularly issued by the
United States courts, and he did not hest
tate to order that the army be used to up
hold the authority of the government. No
one can regret more than he that men
should have been killed by the militia,
but he is not blind to the fact that it is
better that men who openly ID fly the
laws should be shot down than that red
handed anarchy should be in control even
for single day. in any portion of our
country. He intends that the people shall
enjoy heir mail facilities and that the
dignity and authority of the United States
courts shall be maintained no matter what
the cost may be in money or blood, and
his entire cabinet and an overwhelming
majority of congress, regardless of politics.
are behind him. Hence his proclamation.
1t is matter for regret that several dem
ocratlc governors of states and a few demo
Gratis in congress should have confused the
question of states rights with the patriotic
policy which the president has adopted.
1t is a mistake. There is-there can be
no connection between the two. Nothing
has been done by the administration to
interfere with the rights of any state. and
nothing will be done. 1t is for the preser-
vation of the rights of the national govern
ment that the president has ordered that
the mob disperse. that the tied up Pacific
railroad. shall be operated las provided for
in their charters) as military post roads.
and that Uuited States troops be used to
see that the mails are not obstructed upon
and railroad and that government property

The government that does not maintain
its own authority cannot retain the respect
and allegiance of its people. Tho United
States government claims no authority tc

be a doubt that President Cleveland viii

POSTMASTER GENERAL BsssELL does well
in reminding the postmasters that they are
the servants and not the bosses of the Peo-
pie. To this end he takes occasion to re-
mind them that the inf -ence of federal
office holders should not be felt in the
manipulation of political primary meetings
and nominating conventions. They are
also reminded that they are employed in
that branch of governmental service which
ministers most to the immediate personal
convenience and interests of the people
and comes in closest contact with all.
The circular is a revival of President
Cleveland's famous order of 1886. and it is
evidently the Diet. rmination of the post
master general that it shall be lived up to
in both its spirit and its letter. This is as
it should be.

LOVE, SWEET LOVE.

The silver moons soft radiance white
Sparkles and glistens among the treeE
Dancing leaves In the shimmering light
Arc murmuring gently In the breeze,
Saying over and over again:
It's love that gladdens,
It's love that saddens
And ILLS the heart with Joy or pain
Meath swaying branches In the shifting light
Stands q maiden fair. with eyes OF blue;
BY the TRUSTING tree. with glances bright,
She awaits the coming OF her love so true.
While her heart repeats the same old strain:
'Tis love that gladdens.
~Tis love that saddens
And flls the heart with Joy or pain.
He comes. and now her lovers kiss
Deepens the glow OF lovelit eyes,
While pulses thrill in happy Bliss
b With tender gaze he softly signs
And whispers DER the old refraini
IT'S love that glRddens,
IT'S love that saddens
And fills the heart with Joy or pain

A Slight Improvement in the

A MIRACLE WORKERS CONFIDENCE

"HoIy John of Cronstadt- Declares That
the Lord Is Working Miracle and That

Royal Marriage.
ST. PETERSBURG, oot so.-The official
bulletin Issued last night from Livadia
says that the czar took little nourishment
yesterday. He appeared weaker. He
coughed more, bringing up phlegm mixed
with blood. The cough, which results
from chronic catarrh, has become worse
and impedes his majesty's breathing
1t Is now known here that the marriage
OF the czarowitz and Princess Alix did not
take place yesterday as reported. What
gave rise to the rumor was the arrival of
the metropolitan Of st. Petersburg at
Livadia to annoint Princess Alix in ad-
vance Of her wedding 1t is now stated on
"good authority" that the marriage will
not occur at Livadia The actual mar
riage cannot occur without an elaborate
contract between Russia and Hesse, which
has not even been drafted yet.
An analysis of the fluid drawn from the
limbs of the car has had reassuring re-
suit, giving hope that the process of alb
sorption may soon begin. Should the i'm
proyement In his majesty's condition con-
tinue the marriage of the czarowitz and
Princess Alix may be further postponed
in order that the shadows of illness shall
not fall on the union.
Father Ivan holy John of Cronstadt),
the miracle worker, who, It was said re-
Gently, had been summoned to pray for the
car, telegraphed to his wife four days ago,
saying: "God is surely working a miracle.
The car will recover"
