vnciIlntion and Efrronterv

We are unable to write OF the Presidents
More personal and courageous in its text,
1t might be susceptible of such denomi-
nation, that Is, from the Cleveland point
Of view. But it is not even that. 1t is a
the Administration to run the country and
its internal and international relations
upon lines which but too apparently, ex-
cept in the single matter OF Hawaii, are
dominated and directed by the men and
Influences known to fame as the contrfbu-
tors OF the sixteen million dollar McKin-
ley campaign fund of $50.
In two important respects this stands
out both painfully and ridiculously. The
President does not dare to account on
apologize for the secret work through
which his Administration destroyed the
mission of his own International binie-
tallic commission; but, doubtless IN Ter
'contribUtory" pressure, he does come
out squarely in favor OF the single
gold standard thereby abiuring The faith
Of a alfetimC-and recommend the destruction
OF the greenbacks. In his Iahored argument
on Cuban relations, he gives evidence of
desire to sly that Spain has lied in as
seTting that this Government has not dis
gTaced itself by maintaining an active
alliance with that power in its atrocious
warfare Up0n American liberty and help
less womaphood. He doiges the matter,
and, In a series Of pladeToms perio Is,
undertakes to say that Spain Is mistaken
and unkind. This Is duplex, elliptic, re-
troactiye oowardice. Why not say, in 50
many words, that Spain lies? She does. II
there is anything that this or the previous
Administre tion could do 10 assist Spain

sentatioE Of this topic. In terms he

The new Congressman in town mad n
ci.bnce last night to see a sample OF the
light modern musical comedy which has
been so plentiful in Washington during
the absence ef the legislative s1lons. They
ayailed themselves OF the opportunity in
lai gs numbers. The auditorium or the

meeting from the Capitol with the ladies'

o. this style OF entertainment and the in
eomers from the four corners of the coun-

The piece was the conception OF Sydney

intervals do backhanded converse zioaes

musical comedy. A shade better Is the

as pretty as taste and generosity could
make them. The dances Were pretty specta

paratiye novelty was the skeleton dance in
