Neither Grover Cleveland nor David Ben
nett Hill can hope for the support Of Sena-
ter German in any political campaign in
which they may hereafter figure. Notice
to this effect was served on the two gen.
tlemen in question yesterday afternoon
when Senator German declared with
marked emphasis that he would never
follow leader who will in time of peace
increase the national debt to pay the current
expenses Of the government" Senator
Hill committed this offense. said Mr.. Cor
man, when he joined with all the extreme
tariff reformers to cut down duties on
imports; the Hill plan as Senator German
understood it would mean 500, 100000 in
bonds before 1897. The objections urged
against Senator Hills policy Will also
hold good in President Clevelands case.
The question now is: Whom will Mr.. Cor
man support? Will any one but German
be able to fill the bill?

OF all the melancholy that besets the path
of man
There's a single darkest, deepest, dreari-
est grief;
A subtlety of torture that's constructed on
plan
Which is lingering and quite beyond re-
lief.
In the midnight Of your fortunes: in the
thickest of the gloom.
When you feel that this extensive waste
of woe
Must be partially behind you, comes the
eliminating doom,
In the shape Of that remark, Il told you

oh, what countless venomed arrows In the
soft, sardonic sheer!
What wretched wreck Of shattered self
esteem
Tumbles round the hapless victim OF delu-
sions once so dear!
A breath destroys cen hope's faint flick
ering glenn.
You can pull yourself together If you're
only let alone;
You can go and find another row to hoe;
But your convalescent prospects are In
yariably thrown
Into sad relapses by II told you So"
