PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has given
out, through IA friend hat he does not
expect to run for a third term, claim
ing that the unwritten law is opposed
to the third term idea. 1t would be
well for him to submit his name next
year and let the people make it a
written law. The people will write
it all over him if he will only furnish
the opportunity.

The reticence of eastern repubIi-
cans upon the money question is sug-
gestive. At present the republican
press is heartily ~ridiculiny the atti-
tn!e OF the democratic party upon
that question. The following is a
sample:
Can any one imagine how the free
coinage candidate for Governor in Ken
lucky can straddle the Wall street plat
form: In addition to their Wall street
platform, the convention endorsed Sec
rotary Carlisle and then nominated II

He was asking the old man for his
daughter in marriage. He was talking
tremblingly, hesitatingly, as you read Of
in story books, and the scene was full Of
color, so far as an irate father and nerve
less young man could make it.
1t came the old mans turn to speak,
and as he began his face was white with
passion, and his voice shook with excite
ment. "You want to marry my daugh-
teri" he said. "Ah, now is the time for
my revenge! Twenty years ago your ia
ther crippled me in a stock deal, and l
swore to be %revenged! And now my time
has come"
He paused for breath, and the aspirant
for the maiden's hand was about to beat a
hasty retreat in the face of. supposed de-
feat when the father broke forth again:
"Yes, sir, l swore to be revenged, and
I'll now strike the father through the son.
Want my daughter. eh? Well, take her,
and may she prove as expensive to you as
she has to me-"
The old man dropped into his chair,
worn out with the excitement of his plot,
and the young man fainted.-Springfield

Iandusky Miner: At Neihart the
newspapers and citizens generally
are making it mighty snltry for the
Hroadwater mining company, which
has been attempting to dictate to
employees as to where they should
board and purchase supplies. We
want no such peon system in Mont
ana, and it is to be hoped that the
good people of Neihart will contin-
ne their efforts until the Broadwater
outfit is compelled to permit their
worklngmen to %patronize whatever
"sta hlishments they may desire.

wAsRINGToN,s Rad GAS

During the last fortnight the gas fur
nisled by the monopoly which has Wash
ington by the throat has been so poor as
to cause universal complaint, and new
phase is given to the matter by the discov-
cry that by some new trickery in the inter
ests of profit the fluid served to citizens
poisons the atmosphere to a dangerous
degree.
This gaslight monopoly taxes the peo-
pie one dollar Ind a quarter per thousand
feet for gas which costs 1t from sixty Ia sew
enty cents per thousand, at a liberal es-
innate. This should insure gas of the very
best quality, but the grasp upon the light
ing privilege is so certain that the monop-
oily ventures 10 furnish the poorest article
which can be called gas at all. and no COM
plant, however forcible, avails 10 cha nge
its tactics.
Argument piles upon argument in favor
of a plant owned by the District and op-
Grated for the benefit of consumers and
not OF a few individuals. This revolution
can be accomplished il the people will
unite in demand for the change and con-
tinue the fight SO vigorously as to compel

Formal Statement to the Public From

An appeal to the alumni and friends OF
the University OF Virginia in the city and
to the friends OF higher education generally
was to-day issued, as follows:
"The destruction by fire of the rotunda
and main building of the University OF vir-
gina is an inestiniab!e loss not only TO Vir-
ginia and the South, but to her friends and
admirers i'll all parts of the country ire

Since its erection by Thomas Jefferson
the University of Virginia has stood as the
fitting representative of the higher learn
ing. The lofty standard of scholarship and
the historical memories associated with
il place it among the foremost of univer-
sites.
1t has no endo wment except in the
loyalty OF her alumni, and is dependent
upon the sympathy OF her sons and the
generosity OF her friends Unless the loss
is to be irreparabe, immediate and ener-
getic action is necessary. 1t is believed
thatuniform cooperation OF the alumni and
friends OF the university can be secured.
with this end in view, a public meet
ing will be held at Willard Hall, on F
street, Saturday evening. November 2,
at a quarter past eight O'Clock. at which
Secretary Herbert, president of the asso-
citation will preside, and addresses will

PATRIOTS FOR PATRIOTS.

One ofthe most significant and impressive
phases of the expression of American sym
pathy for the Cuban patriots are the demon
stratlofis Of the veteran soldiers, North and
South, and of the descendants of the fathers
of the Revolution.
These, who have fought for principles
| dear to them, and these. who, after u cen
tury of years, still feel the blood tingiing
in their veins which fired their ancestors
to throw off the yoke of brutal British
monarchy, naturally and unavoidab bly, give
their sympathy y and voice to the Cuban ca use.
which is but a movement TO shake off the
grip of hand which is trained only to
throttle and rob. .
Ii must give the struggling Cuban patriots
vast deal Of inspiration to know that these
organizations, as organizations. in company
with the unorganized mass of citizens of
every degree and position in life, are heart
and soul in sympathy with the war against
Spanish oppression, and are demanding
that formal recognition OF the patriotic
uprising which would almost insure its
success.

THE TIMES CIRCULATION.

Phenomenal Increase Leads Its Rival
to Resort to Underhand Methods.
Sine The Tunes began publishing its
sworn circulation statements, cries Of
distress have from time to time been
heard from the camps OF it's competitors.
But, it was only when the strongest rival
was overtakeu and distanced In the race
for popularity that underhand methods
which would not be tolerated in ordinary
business transactions, were called into use.
The numerous merchants who have been
approached, and who have kindly Kept The
Tunes informed. afford other advertisers
the best evidence of the strength OF The
Times, and its value as an advertising
medium-a strength that cannot be shaken
so long as more than 100, 900 readers daily

The total number of copies OF The Times

CRIME OF FREE spEEcH

Three editors of a Berlin newspaper have
been convicted and sentenced to imprfson-

for saying that the administration of gov

Is not that which conduces to the highest
comfort and Development of the German

In these closing days of the nineteenth
century such blows at free expression
OF opinion would seem to be impossible in
a civilized country. But nothing of the
kind appears to be impossible with .'mon-
ARCH who finds himself in the office of
supreme ruler by the accident of birth.
Were he there by the choice of his people,
through the exercise Of the ballot, he would
be vastly more ,carful in his manipulation
Of courts and 1uries.
The newspaper which contained the offen-

Down in South Carolina They Think
1t Resembles Poker.
The Rock Hill city ordinance against
card playing, except the game of whist,
was enforced few days since, much to
the surprise of some travelling statesmen.
On Saturday afternoon the merchants were
too busy to see them, so four OF them
concluded to pass away the time in a game
of duplicate whist, the appliances for which
game our genial host, Maj. Greene kindly
keeps on hand. While they were so en-
ployed the chief of police appeared and
took in charge the four players, with Mr..
Greene, who was then in charge of the
office. He insisted on a bond for the
appearance of the crowd before the mayor
on Monday merning. Maj. .Grecnepromptl
gavehischeck for rtheamount demanded.
On bringing the matter to the attention
of the mayor ii was satisfactorily settled,
the check returned and all parties released.
The error of the police was not at all un-
natural. To one accustomed to the old
game OF whist, a game of the new style is
something strange. Coupled with this was
the presence on the table Of certain little
colored bits of ivory, currently supposed
to belong peculiarly to another game, and
a remark by one of the players rs to the
different values of the counters. The gen
tlemen viii probably he more careful and
the chief better posted hereafter.

TEXAN METHODS.

Only n few weeks ago all Texas was
aroused on account of the prospect that a
prize fight, contest of skill in fist-punch.
ing, of two fellows trained to strike and
fence and dodge and dance. until one or the
other grew exhausted, and his next friend
engaged in the disagrecable performance
called Throwing up the sponge"
Though no great harm to the physical
person of the comba tants results from
these performances, they are held in such
abhorrence in Texas that tile States Gov
ernor called an extraordinary session of the
Legislature to enact a law TO prohibit all
encounters of pugilists.
Now mark the contrast The pugs fled the
State. The dignity of the commonwealth
was preserved and established But it
would be interesting to kno W just what the
people and the Governor of Texas think
of q performance of yesterday which WAS
not prohibited. A negro. scarcely more a
brute than the boss pugilists, was burned
upon a scaffold in the presence of seven
thousand citizens of the Lone Star State,
many of them, doubtless, of the class which

Men who grew sick in their moral heart at
the very idea of prize fight watched with
satisfaction the roasting of a live human
being over a slow fire!
1t is neither profitable nor pleasant to
dwell upon these contrasting exhibitions
down In Texas. But il is putting the case
very mildly to say that a people and admin
istration which can strain at a prize fight
and comfortably swallow horrible per-
fOrmance like that OF yesterday are indie
scribable, unknowable. and beyond the
reach of epithets expressive of their dis
graceful abhorrent, absolutely savage,
impulses. The hyena is n angel compared
to those who even could look upon such
scene as that of yesterday, and the per-
furmance OF calling a Legislature together
to prevent boxing match only makes the
latter exploit the more horrible and the
State where such things are possible the
more detestabie.

that the government falls to recognize that
