MISERY,

Failures,

Iames Creelman special correspond
ent for the Examiner writes that
naner from Cleveland, (O,,) So black
aud bitter is the misery in Ohio that
natiyeborn mechanics are actually
leaeing their own soil to seek
ehance to earn bread in England.
This is the most terrible and impress
slre thing that has been seen in the
industrial and commercial gloom,
which deepens every DAY. Some of
these poor fellows have been driven
from their little homes in this
country in which Mark Hanna has
risen to wealth and supreme political
power.
have learned that great many
engineers and other mechanics have
been leaving Cleveland to seek for en-
ployment in England. The local Ia
Dor unions have received reports on
the subject, Some of the men have
asked for cards to the British labor
nDions. Is there thoughtful man in
the United States who can read these
facts without emotion ? No one can
blame manufactures for cutting wages
or Closing their shops, for most of the
victories in Ohio are being run practi-
cally without profit at this moment.
1t is not because of any foreign COM
petition, but simply because farmers
and toilers in towns and cities are too
poor to buy.
1t is an absolute fact that the
mount of house rent now overdue
in this State alone amounts to several
millions of dollars. Go where L will,
in Cincinnati, in Cleveland, in Toledo,
in Dayton, in Sandusky, in Canton
the real estate men all tell the same
story-they cannot collect their rents,

thousand persons who are six, seven
or eight months behind in their pay.

foreclosure of mortgages, assign
ments and other records of failure for
the present year in Ohio aggregated
more than S5O,OOO,OOO. This is the
prosperity that has come through
the great Garden State of the Union
in this year of Republican rule. Why,
even employees of Cowell g. Hubbard,
Cleveland manufacturing jewellers,
who went to Canton with yellow hats
to hear McKinley's promises last fall,
are to have their wages cut 10 per
cent, and these very men have been
asked to take about for signature a
petition asking for the election of
Mr.. Hanna to the senate of the next
session of the legislature.
There is a CHASTITY humor in it all.
The great CleYeland Rolling Mills
have cut down the wages of men
working by the ton from 20 to 45 per
cent within the past ten days. The
leaders of organized lobor-and 1 have
talked to men of all parties-say that
there are more than $4,000 men out of
Employment in Cleveland today, not
counting raw laborers.
Wages are falling everywhere in
Ohio. The condition of farmers is
pitiful. l know of many cases in
which farmers have offered to give up
their farm for clear quittance, but
they will have to go through the pain
Of foreclosure proceedings, lose their
homes and still be in debt.

There was dearth of water in Med
ford, Tuesday, occasioned by several
leaks in the water ditch and fumes.
The crawtish and digger squirrels do a
heap of damage to the ditch some
times, and Tuesday was one of che
times. Had it not been for the water
which the new we'll, or cistern, affords,
there would have beee scarcely a
sprinkling for Tuesday. The well af-

To the Editor: Your interesting edit
orial on the power of the president as
viewed by Mr.. Olney, seems to me to leave
out OF consideration one very important
authority, which. to all law abiding citi-
zens Is generally conclusive. In the case
of Luther VS. Borden, reported in How
ard /, the supreme court OF the United
States decided that the president had the
power to determine who was the lawful
governor OF Rhode Island (when Dores
rebellion was In progress). under the act
OF February IS. 1888 This was necessary
TO a decision and in the course OF his
opinion Chief Justice Taney, who viii not
be classed as a follower Of Hamilton By
any one. says page AZ: I'm the case of
foreign nations the government acknowl-
edged by the president Is always recog-
nized in the courts OF justice. And this
principle has been applied by the act of
congress 10 the sovereign states of the
union. II Is said that this power In the
president Is dangerous to liberty, and
may be abused. All power may be abused
II placed in unworthy hands. But 1t would
be difficult. we think. to point out any
other hands IN which this power would be
more safe and at the same time equally
effecttTal And the eleva-
ted office of the president. chosen as he
is, by the people of the United States,
and the high responsibility he could not
fan to feel when acting in a case of 50
much moment appear TO furnish as
strong safeguards against a willful abuse
or power as human prudence snd fore
sight could well provide. at all events.
Il is conferred upon him by the consti-
tuition and laws of the United States and
must, therefore. be respected and en-
forced in it's judicial tribunals"
Only one Judge. Woodbury., dissented.
and his dissent does not in any way oppose
Mr.. Olney's view. When one considers ex-
Senator Edmunds. Cooley and Won Holtz'
opinion IN connection with the foregoing,
It seems conclusive. The chief argument.
IL such Is worthy the name that has D
peared in Eastern newspapers, such as the
Illustrated American. Judge. etc, seems to
rest on the assumption that the president
cannot represent the will Of the peonla
when acting In the manner pointed out by
che constitution. That Is, that Quay, Hill.
German. Brice. Cameron. etc, are the
people, but Grover Cleveland, who has
come closer TO representing the will OF the
people than any Of them. is usurper.
or course Mr.. BTysn's view. that the
president IS the mere hired man" to DO
the Will Of the people. as congress may
from time 70 time declare Il. might lead 70
a different conclusion. Fortunately Cleye-
land IS not Bryan. and the latter's theories
are only interesting as a matter of history

can be no more taken away than could the
power 20 appoint justice OF the supreme
court. BY joint resolution passed by two
