at was The Father Of his country
first in war, first in peace, and
first in the hearts of his country
men--who set the original example
against third term in the Presi-
dental Office. He made that mem
orable precedent as u guide to all
his successors and as an unwritten
law of the American people"
None knew better than Mr.. Til
den the time and vi. ilance needed
to establish firmly this wise public
tradition, and none felt more pro-
foundly than he its priceless value.
He was not the man to be silent at
such a crisis. This makes all the
more amazing and the more un-
fortunate the situation now before
us.
President Cleveland is being put
forward by his friends as II candi-
date for third term, just as Grant
was; but instead of stamping on
the scheme, like Jefferson, who had
largely to reason out for himself
its inadmissibiity, Mr.. Cleveland
has watched it proceed without a
word of rebuke. He has tolerated
a suspicion, raised in his name, of
the Democracy's fidelity to the
principles ii is believed to stand
for, with no sign of feeling whatso-
ever. He refuses to say that he
must not be considered as a candi-
date, even when questioned by
those who have an indisputable
right to know. And from the point
of view of an ambitious President
why sho uld'nt he be a candidate :?
Even If election were impossible,
and the country sure to revolt
against an attempt to get into the
White House to stay, wouldn't a
simple nomination for third term
put him above any other American
President? 1t would be no empty
honor for vanity. And such is the
disgust, hopelessness, demoraliza-
tion, or corruption of the Demo-
cratic spirit, that the average Dem.
ocratic politician answers lnterro.
cations as to Mr.. Cleveland's can.

WANT tO pay lUO cents OI ueDC Wltn
a seventy-cent dollar. This ia an
insult to every mans manhood,
and many are deceived. Now,
do not accept any such statement.
No honest man desires to do any
such thing. He wants to pay in
the same money for which the debt
was contracted. England has
many obligations incurred at the
time In mixed monev--gold, silver,
paper and even fiat money. II she
can be repaid in gold only, the
dearest Of all, will not her obliga-
tions be enhanced that much? No
no, the dishonesty is all on the
other side, II morals are to figure in
this question. The creditor class
Is endeavoring to get l25 cents or
more for every 100 cents worth OF
obligations it holds, and they will
admit that this is true.
THE REAL ROBBERS.
Dishonest themselves, they
charge theft against others. In
this question il Is the East against
the West and South, for the East
is using the same policy against its
creditors that England Is using
against the whole country. The
conflict Is as irrepressible as was
that against slavery, and the out.
come will be the emancipation OF
slavery.
1t Is more than likely that Mr..
Bookwalter will lay aside his policy
Of nOnintcrference in politics for
the sake Of seeing that Springfield
and Clark County are properly re-
presented in the National Con-
vention on the financial question.

Hearing Before the House Railroads
Committee.
No Gross Earnings Exceeding Four
teen Million Dollars Can in Future
be Counted Upon.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-The Pa
cific Railroa ds Committee of the House
to-day listened to a statement by James
Monroe, Freight Traffic Manager of the
Union Pacific. He gave detailed statis-
ties concerning the earnings of the road
for several years, and drew the conclu-
sion that no gross earnings exceeding
Sl4,OOO,O0O could be counted upon for
the future.
Not more than % per cent. of that
amount could be considered as net earn
ings. In answer to questions, he said
the Oregon and Gulf connections di-
yerted very little business from Denver
south, which would otherwise have been
handled by the Union Pacific.
Winslow S. Pierce, counsel for the
Union Pacific Reorganization Commit
teej made a supplemental statement of
the plans of the committee. In ex-
planation of the reorganization plan.
Pierce said that the total bonds at the
face value and exclusive of accrued in
terest to be provided for in the reorgan-
lzation, exclusive of the debt of the
Government, would be $3.50 400. The
entire amount of new bonds necessary
co retire the old, he stated, was limited
to 51,244, ,120, imposing upon the new
company an interest charge of 50 O49,-
7SS, against an interest charge of about
S369S,234 on the same bonds now, an
annual saving of 81, GAS, 446
The plan contemplated that provision
for all outstanding securities and fu-
ture corporate requirements should re-
suit in fixed charges of not over 81
100000. The plan dealt only with lines
of the railroad, lands, equipment, termi-
nails and appurtenant properties of the
Union Pacific proper between Council
Bluffs and a point five miles west of
Ogden and between Kansas City and
Denver and Denver arG Cheyenne, in
Guiding the Omaha bridge and with
mortgages affecting those properties
only, together with certain branch line
properties controlled by the ownership

Others Defeated.
TALLAHASSEE (Fla.), March e.
The forces of Mckinley won a notable
victory in the State Convention which
met here to-day to select delegates to
the National Republican Convention to
be held in st. Louis. The friends of
Reed, Morton, Quay and other candi-
dates combined against the Ohio man,
made a hot fight, but to no avail
The first fight was for control of the
State Committee, and the Mckinley
men won, though they claim that the
combine agents offered as much as $500
for a single vote.
The real test was on temporary or
ganization, and then the Mckinley men
showed their Overwhelming strength.
For Temporary Chairman the Mckinley
men nominated Joseph Lee, Secretary
of the State Committee, and the anti
Mckinley element named P. w. Chand-
Ter, both colored. Lee was chosen, re-
Ceiving $50 votes to Chandler's 80. Lee
named a committee of nine on creden-
tials, seven of whom were Mckinley
men. Pending the report of the Creden-
tials Committee the convention ad-
journed until 1890 tonight.
Chairman Egan of the State Conven-
tion says that each of the eight Ma
tional delegates will be for Mckinley.

was read with deep interest by members
sof the Venezuelan Commission in town
to- day
Entirely without prejudice as to the
merits of a case, which, of course, can
not be weighed until all the evidence is
disclosed, the Commissioners are evil
IDENTIFY gratified that the British Gov
ernment, with all the resources it has
enjoyed for securing evidence, has ap-
parently not obtained much if any
more testimony than the commission
has been able to collect here during its
short but energetic existence.
The Government of Venezuela had al
ready furnished to the State Depart
ment before the United States inter-
vened in the affair last July most of the
correspondence which had been carried
on with Great Britain, and complete
copies of all the documents are prom
ised by Venezuela before the end Of
this week.
AT the Venezuelan Legation the state
ment of the British case was declared
to be pitiably weak and easily dis
posed of. Minister Andrade said it did
not contain an item which had not al
ready been fully met and disproved in
documents furnished to Secretaries Bay
ard and Gresham by the Venezuelan
Government. All the arguments now
included in Lord Salisbury's letters of
November 26th last, leading to Pres
ident Cleveland's special message, had
already been abandoned by British
statesmen. Tt was preposterous now
for Great Britain to attempt to go be-
hind the treaty of Munster to show
that the Dutch had settlements in Gui-
ana, for up to that time Holland was
Spanish dependency just as Guiana
was With the recognition of the in
dependence of the Dutch by the treaty
of Munster in 1S4S the Essiquibo be-
came the eastern boundary of the
Spanish possessions and by the treaty
of Utrecht in 1888 England obligated
herself to enforce that boundary.
The Dutch colonies did not pass to
England until 1896, and from that time
until 1886, forty years, every English
map, cyclopedia, history or other work
bearing on Guiana gave either the Essi-
quibo or the Pomaron as the western
English limit. Barima, at the mouth
OF the Orinoco, may have been occu-
pied by the Dutch when Spain was
sovereign of Holland, as shown by early
maps, but Minister Andrade noted
that Sir Frederick Pollock has found
no map giving the Dutch that point
after the treaty of Munster

everywhere growing in strength and
