Regular Correspondence.
WASHINGToN. Dec. &C. 1895.
Mr.. Cleveland, like many other oyer-smart
men, did not know when to let well enough
alone. He made the hit of his life when he
sent that message in favor of the Monroe doc
trine to Congress. But he mistook the APP
plausc for the sentiments in the message for
applause for himself and in his egotism
thought that because Congress promptly
adopted his recommendation for the appoint
ment of a commission to ascertain the real
boundary between British Guiana and Venez-
uela that it was ready to anything else he
wanted done. SO he joined the British who
were trying TO punish the United States for
daring to stand up for the Monroe doctrine
by forcing US into II financial panic, and sent
special message to Congress urging immedi-
ate financial legislation and asking that no
Christmas recess be taken until some such leg
islation as retiring the greenbacks or author
izing an issue Of gold bonds should have been
put through.
In saying that it was Mr. Cleveland's ego
tism that caused him to write that financial
message it is putting very charitable con-
struction upon his act. Others do not hesi-
tate to say that he did il because he was rat
tied by the British attacks upon our finances
and by a call which was issued by the New
York Chamber Of Commerce for II meeting to
condemn the Monroe doctrine message. He
is said to have sent a member of the cabinet
to New York to prevent that meeting and his
messenger is reported to have made deal
whereby the meeting was declared of and
Mr.. Cleveland's hysterical message was sent
to Congress.

answer was received:
"Yes come on, we have blood in

began about 4 o'clock, and after four
innings had been played and the Ar

stopped on account OF rain. the score

OF the country.

broke up in disorder Saturday morning at
Canton. With the occurrences prior to the
whisker-pulling episode the public generally
has little or nothing to do; the American
people care naught for the fact that one
member Of the convention called another
member liar. or for the resultant fact that
such walking sticks as one might reasonably
expect to find in a populist convention were
called into active service; nor does anyone
care particularly whether the eyes that
were blackeaed and the noses that were
skinned were many or few; national inter-
est centers around the whiskers. Whether

OF the citizens of this republic have come

Garbage DISPOSAL,
From the Municipality and County.

Several cities have this matter under
present consideration, particularly Chi
cago, Washington and Cleveland. The
Washington Commissioners have deter
mined upon the cremation process as
preferable to that of reduction, and have
let the contract in that way. The health
commissioner has been going the rounds,
Just as scores of other officials have done
within the past twelve months, to find the
best system of cremation. The plant at At
lanta was inspected, but not approved. In
selecting the cremation method, the Com
missioners have, in our opinion, made a
mistake. In former treatments of this SUBJ
ject we have gone into the matter very
fully. and shown clearly why reduction is
preferable to cremation.

There will never be any HispanIsm in the
