authorized in the Constitution to make
treaties and Mr.. Cleveland was neither
asked nor commissioned to Interfere.
His man Gresham made the suggestion
officially, that the United States should
withdraw from the tripartite agreement
with Germany and England. Then Mr..
Cleveland, in his message to Congress,
earnestly recommended the adoption OF
Gresham's suggestion. Finally, seeing
that Congress studiously ignored the
scheme-seeing that he had not an advo-
cate, not even the humblest cuckoo chirp
he set about the accomplishment by i'm
pudent and arbitrary indirection of that
to which, as he we'll enough knew, Con-
gress was unalterably opposed. He ordered
his man Gresham to omit the estimate for
Samoa in his financial budget and thus
to defeat the country, defy Congress and
dishonor our national obligations for the
qualification of his reckless and arrogant
caprice.
Through this amazing tumble of furtive
conspiracy. studious deceit, brutal inso-
lence and defiant usurpation has Grover
Cleveland brought US to the half way
point of his administration. His polio.
in Hawaii has just been emphasized by
bloody instruction, led by Blount's wit
nesses and coadjutors in the restoration
plot and inspired directly by his own out
spoken sympathy with the degraded an6
licentious Queen. For all the blood tina,
has been shed, for every peril to which
civilization has been subjected, for the
shame and sorrow which this country has
been made to feel, and for any evil conse
quence that may follow this last outbreak.
MIR. Cleveland is directly responsible ano
will be so held by enlightened public opin
ion everywhere. He closes the first hall
of his term with disgraceful and abhor
ent tragedy of his own making-appro-
pirate elimination of two long years o.
stupid ignoring of the coordinate branches
of the government, Of deliberate usurpa
ton of authority not conferred upon him
by law, and of contemptuous defiance OF
the people, who, to their own undoing,
have made him what he is.
How will he close the second half, and
with what miracles of infamy will he con.
sign the chapter to hideous immortality:

Mayor Curtis of Boston is an exceeding
ly loyal son of Bowdoin College. In speak
ing, recently, of the many different letters
that come to him from various parts of
the country Mr.. Curtis said that one that
particularly gratitied him was from far
mer in Maine, who said he was glad they
had not elected a politician. He said that
he had no sympathy with the men who
were graduated from Bowdoin and now
looked down on the college. 1.-The college
can hold its own with any of the colleges
in New England. One thing I have
noticed, and that is that l have never seen
one of its graduates who did not have the
price of his next meal in his pocket. You
may think that joke, but l have had
many graduates from other colleges call
on me who were perfectly willing to take
any job that was offered in order to sup
port themselves.

1t Is said that Grover Cleveland has
given tho impression TO some of the
shrewdest politicians in the Democratic
party that he believes his mission will not
be completed by two terms and that he
should receive a third. Just what those
symptoms noted in the potentially at the
White House are, we are left to surmise
1t maybe that the soothsayers have been
taking observations of his nimbus

certain peculiar qualities in the halo of
the Presence. 1t may be that like men
who have recourse to ordinary horse sense

that trips in the lighthouse tenders hav

Albert Lynch, whose work is be-
coming SO much more generally known
to Americans through bis drawings
in Scribner's Magazine and his cover
designs for The Ladies' Home Journal
is Peruvian by birth, but of English
parentage. He is only thirty three
years of age, and extremity retiring
disposition. He is unmarried and
lives in Paris. The young artist com
mands the highest prices for his work,
his smallest water-color paintings
readily selling for 5000 to 5000 each.
In 1898 he received the Salons first
prize for his beautiful panel OF
Spring, showing single figure.
This picture won the admiration of
the French art critics and the public
to such an unusual degree that the
painting was sold for fabulous sum
TO private Paris buyer. Recently
The Ladies' Home Journal acquired
all publication rights to this painting
and it will serve as one of the cover
designs for that magazine. The next
issue of the Journal will also have a
design by Lynch, portraying his con
ception of a wonan's ideal costume.
A succession Of other cover designs
by Lynch will follow these two.
