price at which corn is marketed now is
the cause of the laying off of seven

people are weary OF the stubborn stu
pidity which finds expression in ad
valorem tariff schedules, in State banks
Of issue and in a d~enationalized paper
currency. They are weary of such dull
ness in the White House as that which
put Congress at work. when it reassem-
bled last December, on a bill designed
TO flood the country with State bank
money and impair the security of ma
tional bank notes. when the necessities
of the country demanded legislation to
increase the revenues to the level of ex-
penditures. The people are weary of an
administration which has a policy that
makes it immensely popular in other
countries and unpopular at home. They
are weary OF a party which legislates so
as to start UP foreign factories and turn
competing labor at home over to idle
ness. They are weary OF the policy of
pinching the pittance of poor old men
from So to So a month. Moreover. the
plain people are more han weary with
a class of self-described superior intelli-
gences who nave made themselves wor-
shippers OF the Cleveland fetch. For the
third time on Tuesday they declared.
through thousands of ballot boxes. that
their WEAKNESS is akin to disgust.

WEARY OF CLEvELANDIsM.

Two years ago the States which voted
declared against the Cleveland general
policy which had been begun or an
nounced a few months previous. A year
ago every Northern State and some in
the South declared further against the
Cleveland and Democratic policy as
party and policy had never before been
condemned by the voice of the people.
During the past yea there have been
those who imagined that the average
people of the country were becoming rec
onciled to what they are pleased TO refer
to as the craftsmanship OF the Cleveland
administration. Since Tuesdays voting
this limited number of i~ntelligences may
or may not have seen that they have
been deceived. Whether they do or do
not see il makes no difference. The
American people are weary of Cleveland
ism. They said so Tuesday a third time
in as many States as they voted with
the unprecedented emphasis of 1894.
They are weary because they have long
been Disguised; they are Disguised be-
cause they have been shamed by the
nerveless attitude which the administra-
ton has assumed before the world and
by its persistence in a policy which has
tries.
At the very outset the people are
weary of Mr.. Cleveland. Honest all
will admit he is; at the same time he is
known to be ignorant. stubborn and ap-
parently Indifferent TO public interests.
The bread-winning people of the country
have had enough of a President more
famous as a fisherman than as a states
man. and of a Cabinet whose members
are absent from their posts. junketing at
the public expense during the summer.
They are weary of Hawaiian f~iascos, OF
emasculated Americans like Bayard rep
resenting the country abroad. of the ST.
lence and apparent inaction of the adj
m~inistration on the Venezuelan and like
affairs. in such marked contrast with the
attitude of all previous Presidents re-
garding such matters. The American
people are weary of monthly treasury
deficits and of a President and Secretary
of the Treasury who sell the Natior's
securities TO foreign syndicates for 14
which they and their agents disposed of
for over 100. They are weary of the
German tariff law, and yet are thankful

the people had had an opportunity to
speak. Tuesday, in ten States. from
New England TO Nebraska, the Repub-

candidates were on platforms hostile to
the free coinage of silver, n in all of
them Republicans never had, on the
whole, larger majorities. The Journal

A man was arrested in Michigan City.
Ind. a few days ago. for mutilating a tree.
He was an employee of a telephone COM
pauy. and in running its wires he cut away
the limbs of a large elm tree on a public
school lot TO such an extent as TO almost
ruin 1t. The arrest was made at the in
stance of the treasurer Of the School Board,
who stated before a justice that when he
expostulated with the man for mutila ting
the tree he was told the company had a
right TO do so. That is the theory of cor
porations generally. Hundreds OF trees in
this city nave been needlessly marred and
injured in order to make room for telegraph
or telephone wires. and any person who has
ever tried TO protect a tree from such mu-
tilation can testify how useless II is. In
this, as in other respects. corporations have
things pretty much their owp way. The ar
rest In Michigan City was a c~ommendable
exhibition of a spirit OF which there is too
little.

Plainfeld oculist's office TO be treated for
severe Inflammation on the left eye. An ex-
animation showed that some foreign sub
stance was imbedded IN the eye-ban. that
the cornea was badly inhamed. the iris torn.
and that the pupil had become opaque.
After questioning Brown. the physician came
10 the conclusion that a piece OF steel was
the cause of the trouble. Three days before,
Brown had felt "A sudden pain shoot through

new method. The patient was placed i'm a

When within "A few inches OF the end of
the magnet Brown uttered a cry and
jumped from the chair. The powerful at
t~ractive force of the magnet had drawn the
piece of steel outward. cutting the eye as
though with a knife. On repetition Of tho
experiment the end of the piece of steel APP
peared on the surface OF the eyebali. The
usual magnet treatment was then rcscrted
to and the steel was drawn out. The eve
was dressed aud Brown was assigned to
one OF the wards In the hospital. 1t was
said yesterday that. although the eye had
been permanently injured. the operation
had probably saved Browns sight.
