Their Claims DISPUTED,

Mr.. CleveIand's Reform Club speech
starts discussion afresh ON the subject oil
the claims put forward by the sound money
democrats. Claim number one is that MIR
Mckinley owes his election as President to
the assistance they rendered. and claim
number two is that, because of this the
Dingley bill is an act of ingratitude and
bad faith.
The republicans deny both allegations
Grateful as they express themselves for the
assistance received from that source. they
declare that they would have won without
II. Their own organization was superb.
and was especially strong in those states
where the tariff rather than the money
question was most discussed The wage
earners became aroused by Mr. Mckinley s
proposition to open the mills rather than
the mints. and the enormous republican
majorities resulted from that awakening.
The cry was one well calculated to take
throughout the whole of the east and mid
die west, and it was in those two sec
tions that the fight was won.
And in repudiating this claim. that the
scale was turned by the sound money demo-
Gratis. the republicans. point out that even
if that support had been necessary TO sue
cess it could not have been sought or ac-
The repUt licans leaders could not have
agreed for any reason to forego in case of
success the opportunity to revise the tarim

ly pledged to such a performance and vic

arranged. would not only have been a
barren one. but disastrous to the party in
the extreme The party would have stood
convicted of double-deaiing, and could not
have commanded the respect of the coun-
try from that moment.
While the republican leaders insist that
the matter does not admit of much argu-
ment. they evidently intend to meet as
sertion with assertion so long as it may be
necessary. The tariff debate in the Senate
which is soon to begin, may develop the
subject in lively way Among the speak
ers at the Reform Club dinner was Mr.
Canery, and his criticism of the republi-
cans for preparing such measure as the
Dngiey bill was very severe. He Is likely
to repeat his remarks in the Senate He
presided over the Indianapolis convention
which nominated Palmer and Buckner. and
Is in no happy frame of mind over his
present position. He Is still for sound
money. but most uncompromisingly against
protection If he states his side of the
case in the debate. the republicans are GER

The street Sweeping Contract.

The Commissioners should be in no seri-
Gus quandary over the question of how long
the next street-sweeping contract should
run. As stated in the news columns. they
are now faced with the necessity of pro-
viling for a continuation of the work by
contract after July 1. when the pending
agreement expires, and the main question
now is whether the old term of five years
should be repeated. If the District were
to continue indefinitely to patronize the
contract system it would perhaps be eco
nomical to provide for such a long term.
but there is now pending in Congress a
measure that emanated from the Commits
sioners, and is more than likely to pass,
day labor directly under the control of the
municipality. The Commissioners have de-
cided that this would be preferable to the
present plan, would ensure cleaner streets
and would eventually prove an economy.
1t would be injudicious. therefore. for the
Commissioners to bind themselves to a
five-year contract when 1t is practically
within their power to accomplish their de-
sired end of placing the whole work on a
municipal basis. 1t would be far better to
write the contract for a year. By that
time it is more than probable that Con-
gress will decide finally to the pending
bill, and in the event of its passage the
day labor scheme could be put into opera
tion at the beginning of the following fiscal
year. There ought to be no doubt what
ever as to the course of wisdom under
these circumstances.

third term. Putting aside for the mo-
nent the unwritten law on that subject. q
good difference Is to be noted between Mr..
CievelaEd's position now. and when he re-
ceiyed the nomination for his second term.
He had not made himself personally popu-
lar during his first term, but he was the
hero Of his party's struggle for tariff re-
form, and SO possessed good strength with
the rank and file of the organization. The
party had been charging for three years.
moreover, that he had been been defeated
in 1888 through unfair means. 1t proved.
therefore, not to be a difficult matter for
shrewd managers like Mr.. Whitney to
arouse and hold sentiment in his favor at
the national democratic convention in 1892.
Tariff reform was the issue. and Mr.. Clevc-
land was hailed as the greatest living ex-
ponent of that, and as such was nominated.
Even the South. which rejected his views
as to silver. rallied to his standard as the
leader of tariff reform.
But Mr.. Cleveland stands for nothing in
democratic circles today. The party which
claims and operates under the name of
democracy is opposed to him on every
question. 1t does not even believe in the
sincerity of his professions about tariff re-
form. 1t repudiates him utterly. Nowhere
is he so completely divested of his former
power as in the South, which was once the
very citadel of his power. No political
managers. however capable or astute, could
go to a national convention now and do
anything for Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Whitney
and his friends were unable last year to
save him from rebuke.
This state Of case will not change in Mr..
Cleveland's favor. Any change at all will
be likely to increase the disfayor in which
he is held. The use of his name therefore
by his admirers can only result in injury
to the sound money cause. Mr.. Bayards 8
talk is not harmful, because he has an in
ternational reputation for injudiciousness,
but no real friend of sound money in this
country ought to echo it or encourage SEN
timent of q like nature

The Fufrfax Tr1nDx

The records of criminal Jurisprudence
probably contain no such remarkable per-
Torrance as that which has Just been
concluded at Fairfax Court House. Va,
where a man charged with a capital offense
was tried three times without intermissIon
before a conviction was secured There
was every reason for this haste The peo-
pie were angered by the crime and ii may
be that their excitement was increased by
the actions of the people of Alexandria in
the case Of Mccoy. But to their credit IL is
to be written that they permitted the law
to take its course, and after the first
disagreement of the jury. which stood ten
to two in favor of conviction, they allowed
the second jury to be impaneled 1t was
confidently thought that the second disa-
greement would arouse the lynching spirit
beyond control. but wise counsels prevailed
and the troops sent by the governor aided
In preserving order. The second jury it is
stated. stood solid for conviction. but one
man held back from capital punishment
owing to his personal scruples. There ap-
pears to have been no doubt as to the guilt
OF the prisoner. the evidence against him
being strong. both circumstantial and d.
rect. There seemed to be no chance for
aequittal and conviction was practically
certain II the popuiace would but wait. A
iynching under the circumstances, with the
Judge willing and anxious to proceed with
out any delay. would have been in the last
degree criminal. The episode teaches that
one way TO discourage lynching is to pro-
vide means for ensuring speedier trials In
such cases 1t is a matter OF comparatively
recent record that a Kentucky judge pre-
vented one Of these outrages by personally
appearing before the mob and promising to
call special session Of court within a few
days.
