HRESIDENT Cleveland rides In
Mrs. Cleveland's carriage ut Gray
= Gables. His coachman is not his
at all, but his better half's. From the
handsome pair of bays, the carriage
the coachman, down to the very har-
ness, the entire outfit is hers. 1t is sail
that her ownership does not stop at tho
contents Of the stable, but the entire
estate is hers as well; but, If this is
true, there is one thing in which the
man of the house is permitted to assert
his supremacy. The President pays
the taxes. The assessors of the town Of
Rourne have Mr.. Cleveland on their
little list, and do not recognize his wife
us n source of financial relief to the
town treasury. The President is good
enough for them. He accepts the de
cree of values of the Monument Neck
estate and settles with the tax collec-
tor without murmur each year.
Mrs. Cleveland's new pair are light
bays. and much better matched than
the pair she drove last summer. They
are by no means small, but in good
proportion to the two-seated, canopy
topped carryall to which they are near
ly always attached. Mrs. Cleveland's
horses harness Is black leather
throughout and somewhat elaborate.

EDITOR ADvoCATE:-We have read

I know what the people need, espe-
clally those who ship on q small scale
all over the country.
We need the maximum freight law,
but that Is not all; we need a law to
protect the shipper against loss and
delay. Our Legislature passed a law,
or pretended to, but as usual with the
the laws to protect the people, It was
left In such shape that It could not be
enforced. That law was something In
the right direction, but It was 'unCon.
gtitutiOnal."
We also need q law to compel rail
roads to put In track scales and give q

II they want to ''red tape" let them

do away with the bull.dozlng adjuster
they now employ, who broW-beats all

shipper would not have to repair the
cars he ships In, as Is the case under
the existing order Of things; and when

save thousands Of dollars to the ship.

It always looked to us from their
charters that they should furnish all
shipping privileges necessary. While
the shipper, to do business under the
present system, has to build gransries,
coal bins and pay the railroad so much
per year for the privilege. This is not
right and should be done away with.
While speaking Of railroads there is

to, and that is: the railroad crossings

has gone back on itself In reference to
silver and the gold standard, iB not the
only instance In which they have
played the jumplng.jack. Behold the
fake they played off on the State In re-
Spect to prohibition. l take that to
heart more than some, perhaps, be-
cause / fell victim to their false pre-.
lenses and their scheme. They roped
me In to their support In consi leratlon
Of their efforts in that direction. And
yet I knew Of their foxy and unscrupu-
lOus character, and more than half
doubted their sincerity and good faith
in the support Of prohibition, but still
was induced to try them. But my eyes
were very soon opened when on q visit
to Topeka during the session of the
Legislature, when the initiative was
taken to secure the law. For, on the
same evening that the act was passed
I witnessed nearly q majority Of the
members Of the two houses, as
judged, indulglng IN liberal potatlOns
Of strong drink St their fsVOrite rem
devious, and ridiculing the work done
during the day. And on my suggest.
ing the inconsistency Of their vote and
conduct, was answered by some that
1t was only designed or made necessary
to All q political emergency, and by
others that prohibition ls not for the
likes Of you and me, but for those who
can't take care Of Themselves. You

are those who do" etc.; thereby admit
ting that the law was never intended
to reach or affect the upper crust of
society, as the court afterwards con-
strued it In It's application to the To-
peks high society club. And this was
genuine RepublIcanlsm-one rule for
th Q wealthy and influential and another

Owing to the spiritual condition Of

when he comes will appear here first,
