Cleveland AMI Mckinley.

a Washington dispatch to the New
York World reports what is said to have
been conversation had by Representa-
tive Milliken of Maine with President
Cleveland, in the. course of which the
latter is credited with these words: Il
suppose your candidate is already Sc.
lected, but am surprised ct the choice
the Republicans have made. In my
opinion Speaker Reed is the strongest
ard brainiest man in your party. It
appears 10 me unfortunate that McKin-
ley should have obtained the uomina-
ton, under the circumstances which
seemed to have controlled his selection.
He will find this Office no place for a
mortgaged man"
The fact that our only authority for
such q report is the New York World
justifies us in prefiXing to any comment
which the quotation might suggest the
acknowledgment that we do not believe
the president ever said such thing.
OF course, If he did say either that or it's
substantial equivalent, he disclosed the
instincts Of a boor. The reference TO
Major McKinley's business misfortune
and to the generous aid which rendered
it possible. for him to continue in the
public service would come in bad taste
from any man Of standing in the United
States, least Of all from a man who en-
tered the presidential office a poor man
and will leave it next March, after eight
years of occupancy at total salary of
100000, reputed to be several times a
millionaire
Yet It is a fact that nearly all our
presidents have been "mortgaged" men.
We do not recall at this time a single
one of them in recent years, unless 1t be
Lincoln, who did not enter the white
house under some uneasy sense Of obli-
cation to what are colloquially called
the party bosses. or some Of them.
William Mckinley will enter 1t one year
hence without debt to a living soul
save the decent debt Of appreciation
owed to evinced friendship. and with
commission bearing no signature save
that Of the plain people.

with favorable comment the probability
that the name of Governor Hastings
will be presented at St. Louis as Penn
sylvania's choice for second place. but
also assumes with considerable liberty
of detail to sketch the motives which
actUate such a candidacy. To what eX-
tent he differentiates fancy from fact
we, Of course, do not know; We only
know that if Governor Hastings shall
consent to the use of his name in con-
nection with the indicated honor, it will
be upon none but honorable terms and
will command the cordial support OF the
united Keystone delegation.
And why should not this banner Re-
publican state give to the Republican
party in this year of Republican revival
one of the two. bearers Of the party's
national standard? The objection tnat

put the two nominees in adjoining states

sinks into irslgniicance compared with
the fact that since protection is TO he
the watchword of the coming campaign,
rot even Ohio has better right to rep
resentation on the national ticket than
Las this foremost, this Incompatible in
dustrial commonwealth. With the ey-
ception of Speaker Reed, there is no
name in the eligible list which would
stand more logically as the complement
to that Of William Mckinley and bring
to the ticket larger Reinforcement Of
personal vitality and popularity than
the name of Daniel Hartman Hastings.
Just as he was eight years ago the
dominant figure Of the Chicago conven-
tiOn, so he would he, as the nominee
for president, the central person

An Interesting Sugge stion.

Attention is called to the letter, in
another column, Of prominent profess
sional man Of this city to Secretary
Atherton of the board Of trade suggest.
ing that since the court house square
seems destined at no distant day to be
the business center of the city and the
terminal block Of the street railway
lines Of the Lackawanna valley. the four
streets which bound it ought to be
widened, with view to the adequate
accommodation Of a largely increased
ultimate volume of travel.
The gentleman in question suggests
as the only way by which this can be
done that the county permit the re-
moval of the tagging on all sides Of the
square to within the present line Of
trees and then concede to the city the
right to set the curb back to the pres
ent lawn line outside the tree line. This,
he points out, would widen by from Is
to Is feet the four streets which bound
the square, and render feasible the oc-
cupancy of any or all of these streets
by double street railway tracks with
out interfering with the regular traffic
Of the streets.
We DO not know what legal obstacles
might arise in the way Of the adoption
Of this suggestion, but from e. common
sense standpoint the suggestion seems
admirable.

with reference to the state OF western
Republican opinion regarding tho
money plank is reassurLng While The
west is strongly fo. the doub', standard

tion OF, silver from the s.oci; OF the
worlds primary money, 1t is At the same
time sound on the even moe important
Issue of protection, and this vIii keep !:
loyal to the Republican party.
The question is wholly one of expe-
diency. While Republicans may diff
fer in opinion as to whether bimetallism
is practicable without an international
agreement, there is no such division Of
opinion as to the folly of free trade. the
falsity Of Democratic prom iscs and the
inefflciency Of the Democratic party rs
an administrative force. Consequently,
even though the Democratic national
convention should declare for frea AL |
unlimited coinage at the Iatio of Is to /,
such declaration would hoIi out no
serious invitation to any thoughtful Ee-
publican friend Of silver y des5E his
own party and go over to an organiza-
tion whose record shows that it Is not
to be trusted on any platform.
In this connection it may not ne amiss
to recall the fact that -four years ago,
after adopting q platform de>ia,ing
protection unconstitutional and fraudu-
lent. the Democratic party Immediately
proceeded to enact such a variegated
mixture Of unconstltutionality and
fraud that it's own president had to de-
nounce the compound as a measure Of
"periidy and dishonor." 1t is fair 10 in
fer from. this recent evidence Of the
sanctity Of Democratic platform pledges
that If that party should declare in ma
tional convention for free silver and win
next fall on that issue 1t would, by the
time it had reached Office, proceed to
enact legislation three-fourths favor
able to the gold standard.
The real hope of bimetallists Is Gu
incident with the success Of Republic
canism in the approaching campaign.
Whatever in the past has been done for
silver has been done for 1t by the Re
publican party. Whatever can safely
be done for it in the future will be lone
for it by that party. for the simple rea-
son that that party. alone among the
political organizations of cur day, is
capable Of successfully administering
this government. The bmetallist who
goes over to the enemy simply sacrifices
his vote and his influence. Therefore, il
is we'll that the random talk of posi-
Lle bolt at ST. Louis should have begun
to sutside in the face Of the solemn
meaning Of the assemblage which is
soon TO gather in that city.

Death of Andrew Gerard.

His labor and sufferings in this life
are ended He died this morning at
1:3O o'clock. After severe illness of
several weeks with cancer of the
stomach he passes away 10 his final
reward. A faithful and efficient night
watch for many years in this city is no
more. A good man has gone. Another
family bereft of kind and atfectionate
husband.
Andrew Gerard was born in Brown
county, Green Bay, in 1885, therefore
making him 81 years of age. Was
married in 1874 to Miss Permelia Burdick
who survives him. No children were
born unto them. Since his advent i'll
Wood county he has been employed in
different capacities but principally
running lumber down the Wisconsin
river, logging in the woods, but recently
served the city of Grand Rapids as
nightwatch. He was reliable and
trustworthy wherever employed.

THE TOY BULLDOG,
Very Newest Novelty in CANNES, Bred In
Paris from Parent Stock

very Newest Novelty in CANNES, Bred In
Paris from Parent Stock.
The very latest dog is the toy bull
dog. So far the new breed is an expert
ment, and its adoption as pet is as
yet in the future. Judging from the
favor which has been shown tie queer
little fellows, the toy bulldog my
prove formidable rival to the Aber-
deem terrier. There are two or three
of them in this country, Mrs. j. l..
kernachan possessing one, and Mrs.
Haddon, of Hampstead, L. l., another.
The toy bulldog is practically an Eng
lish bulldog in all but size. Those in
this country weigh about IS pounds,
whereas the usual weight of the bull
dog is from so to 60 pounds.
George Kiehl, of Paris, has succeeded
in obtaining even smaller specimens,
and the full-grown dog weighs under
IA pounds. The breed is obtained by
selecting and breeding from the small
est bulldogs which can be found. BY
doing this for long period the diminu-
tive dog has been obtained known as
the toy bulldog. The comparatively
small size and power of the toy bull
dog seems to have effected q marked
decrease in its natural ferocity.

RUSSIA AND BEET SUGAR.
Nearly a Million OF Acres Put in the Veg
etable-Report to Our Consul

Nearly a Million OF Acres Put in the Veg
etable-Report to Our Consul.
Russia has made considera bic prog
ress in the sugar beet industry, accord
ing to John Karel, United States con-
sui general at St. Petersburg, who las
written report on the subject for the
state department.. The area under
beet now amounts to st9.91O acres, a
gain Of 1885 over last year. From this
years area 6,C0S.G55 tons OF beets ere
expected and the quantity of sugar
yielded is estimated at 717.55S tons. an
increase of 115,607 tons over 1894. MIR.
karel, however, thinks it unlikely that
all this crop will be refined into white
sugar when the crop is gathered. The
price OF sugar, he says, has risen con-
slderably, and that is probably the rea-
son why the demand for Russian sugar
for export at the Kiev market has in
creased. The improvement of the in
ternational sugar market was caused
principally by the rumor that the
United States bought at Hamburg 1Q0,-
600 sacks of raw sugar of last wears
'oh' 'iud MI. NdIeI duuS JudU III case
the insurgents should stop entirely the
export Of sugar from Cuba, there is
no doubt that the price of sugar Oh the
European markets would rise consider
ably because Cuba furnishes one-thlrd
of the total quantity of cane sugar pro-
duced by the whole world and one-sev-
enth of all the sugar in general, and is
the principal source of supply of raw
sugar for the United States, the largest
sugar consumer in the world Russia
exported from September 1, 1895, to
November 81 last, 1890 tons of sugar.
