Two Years of Cleveland's Admins
tration.
The 4th Of March closed the first
half of Mr.. Cleveland's presidential
term. Our political history hardly
presents a period of struggles more
confused and disappointing than those
two years. Mr.. Cleveland owed his
nomination and election in 1892 to an
uprising OF the moral forces in the
Democratic party. His character and
record put him far above the common
run OF practical politicians" They
appealed to the best impulses of the
Democratic masses as we'll as to the
sympathies of men of independent
ways OF thinking, and elected a pop
ular movement in his behalf which,
with the power OF genuine enthusiasm,
irresistibly overwhelmed the hostile
manGuvres OF machine bosses and
spoils-hunters. He was known to
stand for sound money and civil ser.
vice reform, but The observation-disclosures
and the patronage-mongers in his
party found themselves forced to
support him in spite of themselves
Thus he was triumphantly elected
No American President, save Wash,
lngton, had owed his election more te
the prestige OF his character, and moi
one had entered upon his high Office
more completely uufettered by politi
cal obligations to any man or any se

administration singularly Independent
OF the base influences which are an

But the action of the moral force,
which put Mr.. Cleveland into tn,

Gov. OATES, of Alabama, was
known during his extended Con

always kept in touch with the rank

his section; hence his opinion on
the financial question in the South

He said, while in Washington: "In

that great differences exist both in
the South and West, but those diff

an invitation to send naval vessels

Now Secretary Herbert n.Ner Said

BUSINESS MEN COMBINE,
Retail Poultry and Fruit Dealers
Form a Protective AsSo-
citation.
They Say That Wholesalers Have
Been Infringing Upon Their
Rights.

There is at the present time PROPOSE
ton on foot between business men to pro-
tect the trade of both wholesaler and re-
taller. The retailers in poultry and fruit
Joined hands last Thursday and formed a
Retail Protective Association, with Tom
Burns as president, II. l.. Zambelli as Sec
rotary and Frank Curtoni as treasurer.
The object of the association is TO pro-
tect the retailers from any wholesaler or
commission merchant who might sell to
the public at large as a retailer, in this
way Iniuring not only the retailers but
also poultry raisers and fruit growers.
The Commission Merchants Protective
Association has published notices which
read as follows:
Commission Merchants Protective Association:
The following laws and rules will be enforced
on and after December IA, 1895:
Section l. bills for goods sold to retail deal
ers in the cities of San Francisco, Oakland and
Alameda shall be due and payable on the first
come delinquent on and after the following
Thursday. All bills for goods sold to dealers
outside OF the cities OF San Francisco, Oakland
and Alameda shall be due and payable on the
fifteenth day following the sale of the goods,
and if not paid be delinquent on the eigh-
tenth day following the sale OF goods.
Section provides that when any party or
parties shall dispose of their business and not
pay all their Indebtedness to members of this
association credit will not be granted their
successors until such time as all Indebtedness
due members OF this association has been
paid, and then only upon the approval of the
committee.
All crates, chests, boxes, etc.. must be settled
for as merchandise, and under no circum-
stances shall they be carried forward from
week to week, but must be settled for at the
time each bill is paid
These notices have spurred on the retail
ers to action and they have now started
their association in such a manner that
all wholesalers caught selling at retail will
be boycotted. They have determined
never to purchase again from firm so
boycotted unless they put up bond of
500 to be forfeited in case they do sell at
retail.
The retailers will also join with the
wholesalers in plan to protect them
selves from peddlers who are not licensed.
1t is merely business proposition be-
tween business men. If the wholesalers
wish to have their bills settled promptly
each week they must keep out of the retail
business and thus give the retailers a
chance to pay bills, which will otherwise
be impossible.
Mr.. Burns thinks that all honest COM
mission merchants will agree. to this, and
then business will go on as smoothly as in
days Of yOre.

What haven of rest for the weary souls
en- route to the Golden Gate! Would that

OF the magnificent harbor of Rio de

New York or San Francisco. Clusters of
conical islands clothed in the luXuriant
foliage of the tropics dot the placid bosom
OF the bay.
On One side of the "Gate" stands the
frowning fortress and on the other the
towering eminence known as the Sugar

the verdant slopes of the lofty Cocoa

into the broad bay panorama at once
sublime and picturesque. Amphitheat-
rical in shape, the far-distant mountains
fringing the horizon, and so lofty that
their tops are clad in a mantle of perpetual
snow. The gentle slopes extending to the
margin of the bay opposite the city are
studded with the palatial mansions of
Brazilian noblemen or adorned with the
coy cottages of the humber citizens. The
foliage surrounding these suburban homes
adds vastly to the attractive features of the
landscape. The bay is at least seventy-five
miles in circuit. On the shores of this
grand sheet of water looms up the city of
