CURRENT COMMENT.

The country was entertained ON saturday with
Il sensational story to the effect that Mr.. Clcvc-
land and Mr.. Morgan are sat loggerheads"
over the propOstd bond issue, the former in
sistng on giving the people nj large chance
10 bid, and the latter having "tied up' two
hundred millions OF gold by hi, contracts.
There is probably no truth in the story AT all,
nut il il was true and the banker undertook
to use the power he has gained by such n
course rs is Indicated, ne WAS playing into
the hands OF the tree silver men with more
disastrous effect than anything else has ever
done. The spectacle OF great nation thus
held at the mercy of a specializing broker in
gold Is not likely to commend adherence to
the single standard to either Legislators or
people Boston Traveller.

The subject TO which Mr.. Sheldon calls
attention in letter elsewhere printed
will, we trust, receive candid considera-
tion at the village meeting. The report
of the anditor will show that upwards of
5000 has been expended upon :he viii
lage highways during the past year, and
yet it would be untruthful to say that they
are in good shape. The chief cause OF
the trouble is the unsuitable character of
the stuff VIE heve been using for road

wasting money, but it is often wise ia
make such investments as that proposed

CLEVELAND, July l6-The scene
around the Brown IIoistIng and Con-

camped near the works, and blue coated

met by pointed bayonetS.
Later n mob OF several thousand con-
graSlted in Hamilton street, Il short

pcrael by the police without any one
belrG injured.
The motormen on the Cleveland city
railway company, whose ST. Clair car
lines run near the Brown works, refused
to carry non-urion men this morning.
One motorman left his car when po-
lIcemun attempted To put a non-union
man aboard, and told the patrolman 10
run the car himself. The policeman and
his man left the car and walked to the
works.
The attitude of the strikers and their
sympathizers Is one OF extreme bitter
ness, and the authorities express much
anxiety over the situation, and II IL
conceded that there Is no telling what
a minute may bring forth.
