A VANISHED ILLUSION.
Breaking OF the Spell Which Put the
Democrats In Power.

Breaking OF the Spell Which Put the
Democrats In Power.
The Cleveland myth has practically
disappeared. The popular illusion re-
speeding the president has vanished.
For long time it completely enveloped
one party and largely overshadowed
the other Now it's mystic spell has
been dissipated and in the place of
this imaginative being the real Cleve-
land stands forth plain and unadorned
to the popular eye.
Throughout Mr.. ClevelaDd's first
term the Cleveland myth dominated
general thought 1t is true he was
beaten when he sought reelection in
1883, but the defeat did not shatter the
idol. The feeling grew and gathered
force that he was exceptional, heroic
and statuesque. He was almost wor-
SHIPPED as something greater, higher
and better than his party. His own
partisans regarded him as cast in
special mold, and a large proportion of
his political opponents accepted him as
different from ordinary human clay.
This idea imposed especially upon COLI
lege professors and upon men who
thought they were thinkers. The
Cleveland myth developed into sort
of fetch, and there was a widespread
notion that kind of mystic charm as
ISOLATED itself with him
But all this is changed. There are
not merely hundred public evidences
of the revolution of feeling-there are
still more convincing signs within the
range of private observation. Every
man is conscious in his contact with his
fellows of the completion revulsion of
sentiment. In his own circle he sees
and feels an entirely different opinion
respecting Mr.. Cleveland Instead of
being regarded as superior, infallible
and unerring. he has come to be con-
sidered as narrow, uniformed, opin-
donated and incapable He errs con-
stantly in the choice of men and in the
direction of policies 1t is seen that he
made colossal misjudgment both in
his secretary of state and in his secre-
tary of the treasury. and that he has
neither the penetration nor the breadth
to set them right In whatever it
touches, whether it be foreign or do
mestic affairs, his administration is I'M
fortunate. and It marks the lowest ebb
of national honor and success.
The secret of this complete revulsion
of public feeling is the fact that Mr..
Cleveland has now had his first real
test, and has utterly failed under it.
When he was president before he
could do little because the senate was
politically adverse. Now for the first
time he has had free scope, and the
country hashad the opportunity to see
how he misjuGges and blunders in the
presence of real emergencies There
has been nothing in our politics more
striking than the complete collapse of
the Cleveland myth. 1t would have
been immeasurably better for his en-
during fame if he had been defeated in
1892 His second term destroys all the
illusions OF the first - Philadelphia

CoIors and ComplexIons.

Every woman who is ambitious to
look her best should have list for pri-
vate consultation of trying colors.
Each complexion has its best and its
worst possibilities. Most persons can
wear dark blue or green, for instance,
but very few can wear dark red. 1t is
wise to accept ones limitations and
dress within them. If peacock blue is
unbecoming-and it usually is-why
should we make guys of ourselves by
DOMINIC it? If white is our kindest
ally, why not choose white whenever
1t is possible to have il?

One pound granulated sugar. one

pint best Porto Rico molasses and
three or four tablespoonful of vinegar.
Boil to snap, Remove from the fire
and stir in quickly one-half teaspoon
full of soda and flavor with essence of

The AlkalieS.

Soda. particularly in the form of soda
mint, or equally familiar baking soda,
are much used in the nursery for relief OF
nausea, fiatulence or sick headace. The
parents never reflect that the proper
method of relieving these conditions is
by dieting. particularly by the avoid
ance of the starchy and sweet foods,
and that alkalies are only to be used as
palliatives, their long continued use
weakening the digestive powers, and
producing a depraved condition of the
blood and consequent debility. Baby

VIRGINIA MEiHODsIN FLORIDA.

The public was informed several days
back that when the nomination Of George
w. Wilson to be collector of internal
revenue for the district of Florida was
taken up for action by the United States
Senate. Mr.. Call. OF Florida, moved that
open doors, that the people might know
the facts that affected It.
Mr.. Call said that this appointment
was the outcome Of corporation domina-
ton in the affairs OF Florida. He said
that these corporations packed the last
State convention and nominated ticket
which. although it was elected because
the nominees were Democrats. was de-
nounced by the people as ring ticket
put upon them by money, deception. and
fraud, and MIR. Wilson was, lie said, one
Of the manipulators OF that packed con-
vention.
This fight by Mr.. Cali is one Of per-
manent interest TO the people Of Virginia
at this time. Recent events in this State

November election.

people still further If they can be further
aroused in respect to this matter. The
corporations have done it in Florida, they

THE yACANTJUDGE<HIP.

The Supreme Court of the United states

agree should be filled by our most compe-
tent jurists. Whatever may be said OF
the question, whether given individual

is no difference Of opinion upCn the gen
eral question.
1t must be admitted that Mr.. Cleveland
nomination OF Mr.. Hon nblower to a place
in this court gave the COZ ntry sur
prise, to put it as mildly as possible. How
ever well he may have been known TO
Mr.. Cleveland he was wholly unknown
to the country at large. and the people
have been accustomed in the main TO eX-
pectirg Offices OF this sort to be filled
by gentlemen who have been for a con-
siderable time before the public eye ana
who have secured public APPRECIATION by
praiseworthy public services. The pubic
expectation js neither an improper nor w
reasonable one. Faithful public services
already rendered are the best possible
guarantee or thcse which are to be rem
dered; and the general sense of fairness
which underies public sentiment I'm

Mr.. Cleveland las not been as obser-

the appointment OF Mr. Hornblower was a
striking instance Of his indifference TO It.

such rotten foundation. Indeed, nothing
