The New York Evening Post which has
been one of the firmest frienas and I'D
mirers of the President does not hesitate
to accuse him OF firing off his message on
the Venezuelan question for the sole pur-
pose of promoting his own political for
tunes. That is pretty serious charge to
make. If it be true Cleveland will lose
all the prestige that he has enjoyed with
shrinking men. 1t has been one of his
merits in the eyes of business men that

scientiously and with the best interests

= 1t is highly important THAT the work
of the proposed Venezuelan commission
be done as soon as possible and its report
made to Congress. Until that report is
submitted the country will be on the anx-
ious seat, with the result that business
will be badly affected and such scenes as
those in the New York Stock Exchange
yesterday of frequent occurrence. The
revival which is supposed to be in pro-
gress will certainly be arrested until this
Venezuelan business is settled in some
way. The chances of war are small, but
business is very sensitive and a very
slight disturbance of public confidence
does tremendous harm. While this COM
mission is sitting public confidence will
be affected, and therefore it's work should

Whiffs from Wild Meadows by Sam
Walter Foss, author of Back Country
Poems. Illustrated. MIR. Foss is quite
right, there should be singers of "Tbe
Common Lott for the average man, to the
universal heart. There should be old
customs preserved in verse; and lines
that sing them selves. Lullabyes and
home comings and Thanskgiyipgs are
not yet passed, thank heaven and this
author puts into his breezy rhymes a
hatred of can't, a love of manliness and
vqried humor and pathos that sbouId
be appreciate at their true worth and
not criticised for not being of another
ilk.

topic song of the day. The Ideal Hus-

There has been very pronounced SUBJ
sidenee of war talk and war feeling with
in the last forty eight hours, which means
that people are beginning to reflect The
holding up of the commission bill was
evidence of this. So was the resolution
adopted by the Boston Chamber of Con-
gress cautioning Congress to go slow.
There will be plenty more evidence for
the coming daily that Eoalm Judgment
has begun to take the place of enthusi-
assn. There is no reflection in this change
upon American patriotism or American
readiness to protect and maintain Ameri-
en- rights to the. utmost. 1t merely shows
that Americans are not to be led into
war by any sudden feeling of anger or
resentment. that they have self control
enough not to act from mere impulse in
so weighty q matter. They want to be
certain THAI there is sufficient justification
for war before they plunge into it.

Secretary Morton Issues 9
Special Order to That
Effect.

WASHINGTON, April IL. In view OF
the great rise in the price of beef and
the reported scarcity of cattle the chief
of the bureau of animal industry, DR..
Salmon. has recommended to the secre-
tary of agriculture the admission OF

exercise Of due vigilance and Tnat un-
der the circumstances it is judicious
1t is hoped by this means to check the
tendency to excessive prices to the con-
Rlmer without injuriously

order:
''It is hereby ordered that the regula-

1895, defining the quarantine line on
account of Texas or splenatic fever, and

cerning the importation of animals into
the United States, be modified SO far as
they relate to the admission of Mexican
cattle into the United States as follows:

WASHINGTON, April II. = Senator
Stewart has written letter to Presi-
dent Cleve:and, referring to the presi-
dents letter of the 18th inst, addressed
to the members of the Chicago COM
mittee Senator Stewart says the
presidents letter is timely.
''The country looks to you," he says,
'sas the great champion of the present
financial condition Of the country. The
policy for which we have labored SO
long and SO persistently has been es-
tablished, and the money of the Uuited
States reduced to the shrinking value
of gold.
'What is now more needed than any
thing else is a plain and simple presen-
tation of the argument in favors of
sound money.
eff you could point to any benefit
you have been to the country, your
task would be much easier, but in view
of universal distress your courage far
exceeds your discretion, unless you pre-
sent your reasons for gold monometal-
lism without delay"
Throughout the senator's letter he
arraigns in similar language the posi-
tion taken by the president and con-
cludes as follows:
81 assure you that when your long
delayed argument in favor of gold
standard appears, I shall take great
pleasure in calling your attention to any
matters you may inadvertently omit
which is necessary for your case. y

CALL is COMMITTED.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-When SEN
tor Call Of Florida, who has taken an
active interest in the Cuban cause, was
asked if he considered it probable that
the United States would take any steps
looking to the recognition of Cuban inde-
pendence, he replied that he thought this
country should not only recognize the in
dependence of the island, but that it
should guarantee the bonds of an inde-
pendent government. He said that he had
given Secretary Gresham his views On
this po.nt, but that he had not received
any assurances from Secretary Gresh-
am that such course would be pur-
sued. The senator stated that it was
his understanding that almost the en-
tire population of the island, including
a large majority of the rich planters,
outside Of few full blood Spaniards,
and possibly some residents of Ha-
yana, were committed to the cause of
independence, and he expressed the
opinion that they could raise an army
of zoo, 600 or 300, 900 men, who would
be efficient if they could secure supplies
for their sustenance and military
equipment He added that the revolu-
t'onists had some competent leaders,
and he was quite sure they woald make
a determined effort to secure their
liberty. Mr.. Call also said that there
were a great many sympathizsrs
with the Cuban CANS in his state,
where there are large number Of ma
tive Cubans. and said he had no doubt
that the native Cubans, wherever found
in that country, would aid to the ex.
tent Of theil ability in furnishing the
means for carrying on the struggle
He added that there were many wealthy
men among them.

GREsHAM's PROTEST.

The Secretary Has Made Forcible State
ment to Rosebery.
NEW YORK, April IA special from
Washington says:
Minister Guzman was clOseted with
Secretary Gresham for some time dis
cutsing the Nicaraguan situation.
If England looks with favor on Mica
raugua's answer to her ultimatum,
there will be no special cause for
anxiety, but if Lord Rosebery regards
the reply as unsatisfactory, a different
and perhaps more serious situation may
arise. From what can be learned from
trustworthy sources Secretary Gresham,
through Ambassador Bayard, has in
formed Great Britain that this country
will not permit, without an earnest
protest, the bombardment of Greytown,
and that the landing Of English troops
on Nicaraguan soil will be viewed as an
act inimical to American interests.
Gresham Tells England.
It is said that Secretary Gresham con-
veyed the attitude Of the administra-
tion on these points in earnest terms.
No question was raised as to England's
right to demand of Nicaragua money
indemnity or other customary redress
for alleged grievances on account OF IN
juries sustained by British subjects,
but if what is reported is true, the sec
retary showed some vigor in saying
what England could not do. One story
heard at the state department. was to
the effect that Mr.. Bayard was directed
to inform Lord Rosebery that firing
upon Greytown or placing an armed
force on shore at that place or Corinto
would be an infraction of the Monroe
doctrine.
1t is pointed out that Admiral Mead's
feet has arrived at Colon, and is near
Greytown, and that the Monterey will
reach Corinto about the time the Royal
Arthur anchors off the west end of the |
proposed interoceanic canal.

CORRECTING CITY EVILS.
DR.. Henry's Advice TO the Civic Fede
alton.

DR.. Henry's Advice to the Civic FEEDER
alton.
Cleaning the City's Augean Stables"
was the subject of the address which Rev.
]. @. a. Henry delivered at Metropolitan
Temple Sunday morning. There was a
large attendance, and those present testified
their appreciation of the speakers views by
frequent bursts of applause. In addition
to Mr.. Henry's address there were. several
other interesting features on the pro-
gramme in the way of vocal music.
The present reform movement In the city
under the auspices of the Civic Federation
formed the basis of the speakers remarks.
He said that the cleansing and purifying OF
affairs political and municipal was glgan-
tic undertaking, but he was sure that with
the present element behind it there was no
doubt of ultimate success. The best moral,
political and social elements were out IN
the cause of good government, and If their
energy did not lag they must prevail: He
then went over the various phases OF cor
ruption which exist in different depart
ments and in the community in general.
He did not want to see the Civic FEEDER
alton or any of those who are in the
movement weaken. The investigation
must be strict and the remedies stringent
or the work will avail little. 1t is not at
political corruption that the line must be
drawn, but social corruption, and other
