Mr.. Cleveland SnenkS.

The debate in the Senate on the
Elkins resolution to require the sale
of all Government bonds to be pub
licly advertised was the occasion of
much Incorporate talk and much ILL
natured criticism of the administra-
ton. Mr.. Cleveland took occasion
to set the administration right in a
private letter to Senator Gallery
which the Senator has given to the
public. In this letter the President,
among other things, says:
81 am amazed at the intolerance
that leads even excited craftsmanship
to adopt as basis of attack the I'M
founded accusations and assertions
of maliciously mendacious and
sensational newspaper, (alluding, it
is thought, to the HOrld.)
No banker or financier, nor any
other human being, has been invited
to visit Washington for the purpose
OF arranging In any way or manner
for the disposition of bonds to meet
present or future needs of the gold
reserve.
No arrangement of any kind has
been made for the disposition of
such bonds to any syndicate or thro'
the agency of any syndicate.
No assurance Of such deposit of
bonds has been directly or indirectly
given to any person. In point of
fact, a decided leaning toward a
popular loan and advertising for bids
has been plainly exhibited on the
part of the administration at all
times when the subject was under
diScuSSiOnn

New YORK. Nov. GA special to
the Herald from Washington, says !:
Appreclating that the return OF Cen
eral Weyler from the present campaign
without making any headway against
Maceo's forces will greatly aggravate
the already critical situation in Cuba,
official diplomats i'll Washington have
been earnestly discussing for some days
various plans for relieving the situa-
ton.
The question of Spanlsh-Cuban
armistice has been widely discussed.
If the conditions will admit, there
is every reason to believe the admins.
1ration will exercise its good OF.
fees to bring about an armlstlce
in the event that affairs become more
critical because Of an unsuccessful cam
paign against Maceo. 1t is understood
that one form of peaceful intervention
which Consul General Lee has pro
-osed to the authorities here contem
plates the use of the good offices OF tht
United States to bring about modu'
vivendl for a sufficient time to enable
negotiations to be conducted for secur
ing the independence of Cuba by pur
chase, the United States guaranteeing
the payment of the debt. General Lee
has not advised the immediate adoption
of this plan, believing there would hav'
to be change in the situation before
could be put into practical effect.

M'K1NLEY AND BIMEFALLIsM.

The national political machine, as
represented by Plat Of New York,
Quay of Pennsylvania, and the Wall
street contingent, have unquestionably
set about encOmpassing the defeat OF
Governor Mckinley. There seems but
one motive, one incentive for the move
ment and that is the cOnvictiOn-the
knOwledge-tha Mckinley is not a
gold-standard man.
The Eagle within week or two has
offered several evidences from his
record and speeches that Major Nc
Kinley is for true bimetalliSm, that he
stands just as strong for silver as for
gold, notably extracts from his speech
in Cleveland in 1890 and his speech
at Columbus in 1893, as also during the
debate in the house June -, 1890. upon
the bill to purchase silver bullion and
issue treasury notes thereon There
is no comfort to be extracted for the
mOnometalliSt in the last named
speech. In that speech. in addition to
what the Eagle published he declared
that Il believe that We should preserve

THE HUMBUG OF DIPLOMACY,

Olney declared her to be, that Is SUI
preme on this continent, whose fat
shall be law, when we shall no longer
depend in any sense upon the good Of
fees of other nations, she would do
we'll to abolish the whole diplomatic
corps. 1t Is very expensive fashion,
and fashion IS about all there is TO 1t
The cost of the service runs up into the
millions of dollars annually, millions Of
dollars for pomp and circumstance, mil
lions Of dollars for apery and para
phernalia with precious little profit
Ambassadors, plenipotentiaries, minis
tiers and the like are not republican
It is one of the peculiarities Of diplO-
mats that they always want TO do the
thing they ought not to do. Every
body knows that the art Of diplomacy
chiefly consists IN looking wise and
saying nothing and in securing results
with directly asking for them. The
soldier can pound at the city gates
with his sword and demand admission.
The diplomat must get in by other
methods.
Ambassador Bayard got into a whole
nest Of trouble by his penchant for
talking. Lord Sackville-Westr received
his walking papers for meddling even
indirectly in the political affairs Of a
nation to which he was accredited as
representative. \ recent minister
