Cleveland as the Petty Politician.

Grover Cleveland would be no less
than human did he not find a little sat
isfaction in criticizing the work of those
who were wont to criticize him. But
when he gives way to such a feeling in
so public way as he did in his speech
at the Democratic Reform Club dinner
in New York Saturday night, he places
himself in the light of petty politician
rather than that of retired statesman.
He knows as do all that the Republi-
cans did not relegate protection to the
background last fall, and if they had
Grover Cleveland himself so conducted
affairs that it would not have been al
lowed to remain there. All are aware
that when the annual deficit of fifty
millions was constantly piling up, when
greenbacks bought with gold went out
in payment of running expenses only to
come back again to embarrass the
treasury, Grover Cleveland and his sec
rotary of the treasury declared that
the revenue was all right and there
was no need of a change. All are aware
that he gave the people to understand
that if the last Congress should pass a
revenue measure he would veto it. All
know that this criticism, which Chair
man Dingley makes of Cleveland's
latest effort is true: '''t
THE fact is that the Republican
party won on both issues, and the tariff
issue. in those parts Of the country
which practically decided the contest
had more to do with the victory than
any other issue.
Nothing could be clearer than that
the pledges of the party made it's first
duty to provide sufficient revenue to
carry on the government without Dor
rowing in time of peace and. in the ad-
justment of duties on imports to that
end to encourage Industries Of the
United States stricken by unfair COM
petition. r. 'f.s, .e..,..,.,. III
IF the Republican party should fail
at the beginning Of it's lease OF power
to do these things, it could be justly
held to have proved faithless to its
pledges =
There is undoubtedly need at the
earliest possible date of some legisla-
ton to improve our currency system,
but no one knows better than the gem
tlemen who are criticising the Republi-
can party that if such legislation
should be taken up today in the present
condition of the Senate no favorable
results could be obtained. and the agi-
tation which would arise from q long
and fruitless debate in the Senate
would exert an injurious influence on
the business of the country and would
endanger the success of legislation to
provide revenue to carry on the gov
ernment''
When this same man Cleveland now
accuses the Republican party of bad
faith he engages in exceedingly petty
politics, discreditable to any man CT

A Great Delegation Broken.
washington Star.)

The death of Representative Seth l..
Milliken makes the first break In the
Maine delegation in Congress for four
teen years. This remarkable record has
never been equalled by any other state in
the Union. Session after session the four
members of the lower House-Reed. Ding
ley. Milliken and Boutelle-have reap
peared while the senators-Hale and
Frye-have been retained in service until
the Maine delegation had acquired top
rank in the national Legislature. The
committees and assignments that have
fallen to these men have proven the
great Importance and value to the State
of selecting good men for these duties
and of retaining them as long as their
performances warrant their continuance
in office The consequence of such a pol
icy is that the State gains in power and
prestige. Names delegation. that has
just been broken by DEATH was fortunate
in being composed at the beginning of
first-class men. with an unusually nigh
average of ability and public spirit. Mr.
Milliken was greatly beloved by all who
knew him. and his death causes many
deep regrets, not only in his native State.
that he had served so long and faithfully.
but in the district. of which he was prac-
tically a citizen through his residence

preciates the full significance of the
figures printed in an article in last
weeks Opinion, showing that in five
states in the Union. at the presidential
election last November, more votes
were returned as having been thrown

average reader of the above stops to
consider that the only knowledge of the
number of voting age in those states
the Opinion can possibly have was OBJ
tanned from the census taken over six
years ago. and that the states referred

Commander Carleton will without
doubt prove one of the ablest and most
efficient executives that the depart
ment has ever had. He is a young
man for a Grand Army man being but
80 years of age. He was mustered
into the service at the early age of IA
years as member of the Ninth Maine
Regiment and went at once to the
front. During the war he was engaged
in many of the most important battles
of the rebellion and was twice
wounded.
He is an eloquent and effective
speaker and has for years done valiant
service for the Republican party upon
the stump.

possessed the happy faculty Of making
friends, and they were not confined 10

In peculiar sense he was a self-made
man. From humble beginnings he rO8e

ergy and courage to high place In the
councils OF this great nation. Not only
the district he represented, but also his
State and the nation have reason to re- 4
g-et his sudden taking on.
Some more brilliant, but none more
faithful than he. For the social side OF
life at Washington he cared far less than
for the service he could be to his district
and to his country. No public matter
was so small that 1t did not receive at
