Life of Grover Cleveland on the book
market, he will have to make the
above statement when his tale of in
competence, dishonesty and arrogance
reaches the fourth month of the fourth
year of the second term of King Cleve-
land.
When Grover heard that the silver
men would control the Kentucky Dem

last week, Poor Old Groverl
The prospects of the silver wing be-
ing in control when the Democratic
convention meets, has q tendency to
restore to healthy action the disordered
liver Of the average silver democrat.
In fact, some of those who few weeks
were as sad AS dog who has lost his
bone, are now in the same happy frame
of mind as negro who watches a fine
watermelon ripening in his neighbours
garden. However, they must realize
that this uprising of the people is
mainly due to the agitation started by
refOrmers who esteem principle above
party. and that the honest voters who
made their majorities In the past are
IN revolt against the apostate Prssi.
dent and Cabinet officers and the cuck-
oos of the 5srd Congress, and that
they will not be deceived again.
One of Cleveland's cuckoos, Repre-
sentative Denny, of Mississippi, has
introduced a bill providing for the pur-
chase of eighteen acres of land at Con-
gress Heights for a summer home for
the President. The land is to cost
$780, 900; the building and identifying
of grounds are estimated at ST. 900 900.
1t Is comport to know that before
Denny's love for Grover can be crystal

There seems to be no end to the
efforts of property owners in the Dis
trict of Columbia to sell their land to
Uncle Sam for some unnecessary pur-
pose, and each representative elected
this year should be pledged to oppose
such raids upon the public purse, the
more so as sooner or later-when the
West has doubled its population and
has preponderance of voting strength
the capital will be removed to some
central point near st. Louis. It is ri
dlculous that it should be so close to
the eastern shore, and policy dictates
that it should be at least one thousand
miles from the twin dangeres of the
republic, the worships of England and
the corruptionists of Wall street.
What will be done with the present
government buildings, some may askp
The present disposition need not be
changed. The capitol building can be
used for a lunatic asylum, the treasury
as home for incapables and the White
House as Jail for corrupt officials.
The Butler anti bond issue bill pass
ed the Senate, which shows why the
capitalistic daily press bowling for the
abolition OF that body. 1t is no exag-
geration to say that had their been no
Senate to Illustrate the schemes of
Cleveland and Reed, monarchial form
of government might ere now have re-
placed the Republic.
On that subject l heard a sweet
scented Englishman speak last Sunday.
He had happened to run across a re-
form paper, which excoriated Grover
in unmeasuered terms, out Tlllmaning
