ENGLISH ADMIRATION.
Quite Naturally Bestowed Upon Mr..
Cleveland.

An Ontario Mans Views of Cleveland as a
Statesman and Riot QuelIer. and His
Opinion of Things American in General
Washington. November IA local
paper prints an interview with Colin
MacDougall whom it describes as lead
ing citizen of Ontario, Canada.
Mr.. MacDougall expresses great admi-
ration for President Cleveland. He re-
CARDS him as one of the three greatest
living statesmen the other being Pope
Leo and Gladstone He says that Presi-
dent Cleveland is greatly admired in
Canada where he isregarded
as. broad statesman. ''If his
plans for reforming the tariff should be
realized. - Mr. MacDougall adds: sit
would draw the countries very much
closer together in their commercial rela-
tions. :"
Mr.. MacDougal asserts that Canada
will never be annexed to the United
States, although the people of that
country desire closer commercial relations
with those on this side of the line He
says that the Chicago strike was, followed
with deep interest in Canada, and the
feeling in that country was that it fur
nished an example Of weakness in the
central COVER Inment of the United States.
I'VE do not think, he said, ''that the
United States has strong enough
central government. Altgeld in Chicago
contended for extreme Jeffersontan
principles, and had they been carried to
the fullest extent, the result might have
been a disaster of immense magnitude.
What saved this country from difficulty.
was the course Of President Cleveland.
Mr.. CT veland sent Federal troops to
Chicago ostensibly for the purpose Of pre-.
venting hindrance to the carrying of
mails. Had he stuck closely to the
principles of pure democracy, he would
not have interfered, and that might have
resulted in great disaster. The Chicago
riot was suppressed, not SO much bucause
of the character of this government but
because there was strong determined
man in the presidential chair. Had Mr.
Cleveland beon weaker man he might
have done nothing -

DALZELL'S VIEWS.
If Any Sacrificing is Done at Washington
this Winter Cleveland Will Have To Do

Washington, November /. Rep resenta-
tive Dalzell of Pittsburg, who is one of
the probabilities for chairman of tho
committee on ways and means in the
next House, made a significant statement
today.
When asked as to the character of legis-
lation that would be accomplished next
winter, he is quoted as saying:
9sOf course it will have to be Republi-
can legislation If there must be a
patriotic sacrifice, Mr.. Cleveland will
have to make it. He will have to accept
what the Republican Congress can give
him. We cannot be expected to abandon
principle to aid and crafty him. As to
financial Legislation do not think there
will be any beyond the authorization of
low interest bonds, if necessary to meet
the deficiency in the treasury.
