The Presidential Outlook.
A Canvass of the Chances o
the Leading Candidates.

Washington. April 17.-Grover
Cleveland is not to be candidate for
another term This fact, known
among his most intimate friends for
several months. is now in the posses
sion of the public.
In reaching his decision the Presi
dent is not Influenced in any way by
the political prospect. He has been
discontented with his position for
long time. When he returned to
Washington last fall, Secretary La
mont told me at the time, with the
greatest reluctance, he wanted to re
main away from official cares and
perplexities. He is getting now to
be man well along in life and has
mad more than one mans share OF
arduous responsibilities. He wants
to rest. In addition to this Mrs.
Cleveland Is anxious to take her
growing children away from the
atmosphere Of the White House and
give some time to their better train
ing and education At present, as
can readily be imagined, her social
duties are most exacting.
So that, if Mr. Cleveland's per
sonal wishes are alone to be con,
sidered, he will be only too glad to
be retired to private life. 1t is re-
markable to note, however, the gen.
eral sentiment from all sections OF
the country that he will again be
called upon to lead his party. There
is certainly an almost unanimous be.
lief in Washington that if he ound
money men control the next National
Democratic Convention they will
place Cleveland's name at the head
of the ticket. There is some talk. OF
course, about the folly Of third term
ism, but it is remarkable how little
the fear of an anti-third term feeling
affects the friends Of Cleveland An
interview published in a local paper
to day with a prominent Democrat OF
Cedar Rapids, la !, quotes him as say
ing that Cleveland is the first choice
of many. and the second choice of
nearly all the Iowa Democrats. The
reports from New Jersey indicate
the same sentiment There is no
doubt that Cleveland still has a hold
upon the people.
With the vast majority of Demo
Gratis. however, the determination OF
President Cleveland not again to be a
candidate will be accepted in good
aith, even though their personal
preferences would be for his nomina-
ton. The question is +: Who will be
named by the Chicago Convention!
The Presidents first choice is un,
doubtedly Secretary Carlisle His
second choice is Ex Governor Viii
liam E. Russell, of Massachusetts,.
The influence of the Administration
is to be exerte>l in behalf OF the
former. but it is not likely to be
effective The trouble is that Gar
Isle suffers all the disadvantages of
being a convert The silver men,
who remember how he was once
mainstay Of their cause, regard him
as traitor and hate him with a bit
ter hatred, while the sound money
men have not the same love for him
as if he had always been OH their
side. Carlisle could not get the sup
port of a single Southern State 1t
is doubtful if be could even carry
Kentucky Ask hundred Demo
Gratis in Congress as tc the possibil
ity OF Carlisie's nomination, and
ninety.nine of them will reply that
he has no chance whatever.

CUsA AND FOREIGN, POWERS.

The story that several European gov
ernments notably Germany and France,
have notified cur state department. that
they would not regard with indiffer-
enoe any interference on our part in the
war in Cuba, lacks confirmation, yet
there is reason to believe there is some
thing in it. Both France and Germany,
for different reasons, have some concern
in the Cuban situation. Spain deht
is largely owed to Frenchmen, and as
Cuba is Spain's chief asset, it is their
chief security for the payment OF the
money due them. 1t is apparent. there
fore, that they have large pecunlary IN
terest in having Cuba remain posses
sion Of Spain. Furthermore, France has
possessions in the West Indies, and the
| SUCCESS of the Cubans might incite the
people of her provinces TO revolt. Germa-
ny is inspired Chiefly by dislike for US.
Her young wax Lord hates the rspubli-
can spirit abroad as he hates it at home,
and would be only too glad to cripple
its power here as he is seeking all sol fs
Of drastic measures to cripple it at homo
There is not at the present time In this
country any very general disposition
among the conservative people of the
land TO interfere in the Cuban war. That
is made clear by the response Of the reo-
pie to the Cameron resolution. But We
may lie sure that anything like a
threat from the German War Lord or
the French President would be more
potent TO change that disposition than
all the appeals from the Cuban patriots
that could lie made and all the influence
their representatives in this country
could bring TO bear. The cruntry to
man would back up the President and
Congress in replying to any such sug-
gestion from foreign powess as is said
to have teen received, with very curt
no tificatio that this country will brook

interference from tfem, and that the
United States will determine it's course
