Mr.. Cleveland's mind is in a state
oi great confusion over the meaning
Of two words. He is evidently un
der the impression that to bestow a
merlted honor upon man who has
served his country is the same thing
as to dole charity to q beggar. Per.
haps these definitions from the Cen
fury Dictionary will help to clear
away the mist on this subject from
his usually active intellect: "Pen-
sioner. One who is in receipt Of a
pension or stated allowance, either
in consideration Of past services or
on account Of injuries received in
service" "Pauper. A very poor
person; a person entirely destitute
OF property or means of support
particularly, one who becomes
chargeablc TO the public" BY
grasping this very broad distinction
Mr. Cleveland may overcome the
mental popularity which induces
him to regard the applicant for a
pension as pauper and the recipient
Of one as a fraud.-St. Louis (Mo.)

IN BAD TASTE.

The address that Gov Eyaps issued
to the people of the STATE On Wednesday,
anent toe registration decision Of Judge
Gof and the general political situation,
destroyed at one stroke the good opiu-
ion that he had wou by conservative
and rational course of conduct since he
has been in the Executive Office. 1t
was ill-adv;sed and bitter beyond rea
son or excuse. Tie charges and iosiu-
uatiops he makes against Judges aud
other neu Of high character, who were
hopore6 aud trusted in this State long
before be jumped into notorlety BY train
ipg With Senator Tillman, are too dis
graceful to appear in document that
purports to be State paper. We are
ashamed for Gov. Evans and his advi-
sors who we're aware of his intention to
issue this fire. brand address. We trust
that be may, in time, suffer such
chan pc of mind and heart as to be
ashamed for himself. and bitterly regret
having been guilty Of the address.
The purpose of the address vas to
arouse feeling and not to re-assure the
people of tbe State. The growing SER
timent iu favor of mutual concessions
by either faction in the interest of uni
ty, peace and good government, was
uipped in he bud by tbe violent and
uncalled for language used by Gov.
Evans, and the old partisan and faction
al feeling has sprung up where 1t was ap-
parently dead. That Gov. Evans de.
signed his address to be another Shell
Manifesto We have no doubt. bat
whether he will succeed ia 'arouslng a
tidal wave Of bitterness like unto that
of 1890, we are in serious doubt. Tie
people are tired of strife. tired of fraud,
