A KALEIDOSCOPE PRESIDENT.

Two recent statements concerning
President Cleveland's relations to the
public men in Washington and to call

ences as to matters of fact. The Wash.
ington correspondent Of the Now York
Sun, which is unfriendly to Cleveland,
wrote
Every few people see him, and day
after day goes by without his giving an
audience to any of the numerous callers
at the White hous', who are all turned

dent is rarely seen driving within the

thing, however, so Kaleidoscope about

HIS TIME WILL COME.

The esteemed West Chester Republi-
can says that Lieutenant Governor
Watres' decision not 10 be candidate
for governor in opposition to General
Hastings" takes from the list Of candi-
dates a man equipped in every way to
be the chief ruler Of this state, and
adds u powerful supporter to the ranks
Of the Centre county mans friends"
1t does, indeed. The lieutenant
governors action in this respect was
one of considerate deference to the will
of the majority. as expressed in the
obvious desire of Republicans to
honor the candidate who was the
choice of many for governor before Mr..
Watres had become an executive off,
cial of this commonwealth Our
townsman lays the Republican masses
under a new obligation to him by his
volunteered willingness to introduce
no disturbing element into the party
councils
When he was nominated to his pres
ent position he was the choice, not OF
one faction, but of all factions. The
friends of General Hastings were as
cordial TO him in the convention of 1899
as were those OF the successful cluai-
date for the gubernatorIal nomination
That he was the choice of the people,
too, was proved by his success in the
election which sent Democrat to the
chief magistracy of the commonwealth.
The politician who keeps friendship
with the people. while giving no un.
necessary offense to those prominent in
party leadership, is one to keep an eye
on.
His time will come.

WHILE ONE New York paper has
been exposing Police Commissioners
Sheehan's Buffal) record another has
been inquiring into the source of Police
Commissioner Martins wealth. Mr..
Martin is familiarly known as
Jimmie. A few years ago he was
conductor on street car, and then he
was clerk on a small salary. In 1889
Martin became police commissioner,
and was then living in fat on Sixth
avenue. The change that has taken
place i'll four years is amazing, In
1890, or withiu year, Mr.. Martin
moved up town to ty.fourth street
into the neighborhocd Of Rockefeller
and Depew, and later on he bought for
$50, 900 the house on Forty. eighth
street, in which he now resides in mag.
Dificent style All this Mr.. Martin has
done on a salary of 5000 year. He
must have grown very rich since he
became police commissioner, else such
high living would be far beyond his
means. How did Jimmie" Martin
get his money! Such a rapid stride
from poverty to opulence can only ex-
cite ones curiosity. We trust that the
people of New York will not allow it
to remain puzzle.

THE MILLIONAIRE TURFMEN OF New
York had an exciting discussion about
the present condition of horse racing
in their neighborhood. They agreed
that it was in bad way, owing chiefly
to the manner in which the business is
run by men who are on the turf simply
for the money there is in it, among
whom are such well known characters
as Mike Dwyer and Richard Croker. So
they propose to secure c tighter grip
upon the race tracks, and to that end a
committee was appointed to form an
organization which shall have the
powers of an enlarged board of con-
troll. For. really. the racing business
is becoming so disreputable that high
toned millionaires are being driven al
most exclusively into yachting, sport
which money -getters cannot touch.
