A Feast of UnreasOn and Flow OF
Hypocrisy.
( New York Journal. |

Tie Hon. Grover Cleveland, twice
President of the United States by
grace of the common people, is
still eager to save the Democratic
party from itself. He Is ready TO
draw an indictment against whole
Nation-ready to set aside the
6,500,000 voters who strove to save
the Nation from the clutch of the
trusts and the usurers last fall as
either conspirators or dupes. The
Democracy which is not Cleveland
ism this favored beneficiary of the
Democratic party denounces as
sedition, and his denunciation was
echoed Saturday night at the Wal
dOrf by as comfortable and we'll fed
body of gentlemen as ever de-
voured banquet at $12 a plate,
and washed it down with the rich
est vintage of the sun. kissed vine-
yards of France. John G. Carlisle,
in a brief moment of relaxation
from his duty as attorney for the
Kentucky Lottery Company, was
there to speak on "Sound Currency"
Bynum, in pursuance Of his duties
as the salaried manager Of an anti
Democratic political organization,
diScourSed of f"The National Demo-
cracy." Indeed, all the partici-
pants in the well.formulated plan
10 betray Democracy into the hands
of the moneye6 aristocracy was
present to defend the National
honor and help along their own
personal interests with the trusts,
the corporations and the money
brokers of Wall street.
OF course the main tenor of the
speeches was an attack upon the
Dingley bill. Mr.. Cleveland in his
inimtab!e style of Johnsonese,
berated the party which he more
than any other man, except his
colleague, Mr.. Mark Hanna help
I'd to put in power for using its
power for the very purpose for
which it sought it. He and his
fellow speakers pretended that
they had believed the Republican
Ethiopian could change his skin,
and that only wonder and amaze
attended their discovery that they
had elected the same black pro-
tectionist whose tariff bill OF 1892
put Mr.. Cleveland himself in the
White House. 1t was all feast
of unreason and flow of hypo.
crisy.
The Journal does not believe
that the Waldorf is the place, $l2
II plate the means, nor Grover
Cleveland the adviser for the re-
Mobilization of the Democratic
party-if,. indeed, after getting
closer to the people than any party
has been since Lincoln's time, it
needs rehabilitation at all.

New Orleans, April 26.-The river is
still 10 feet above low water, and the
fine stretch Of weather. has enabled
the levee forces to hold the banks de-
spite the terrific strain. The weather
has been providential, for a few
stormy nights would have meant sew
eral crevasses. The fight is costly
one. as can be Judged from the fact
that the last weeks work on the Car
rollton levee. about one-fiftieth Of the
city system, cost $4,000.

Jonah
Pours Out the Truth to the Multitude

Mr.. EDIToR.-What has become
of your good roads advocates? Has
Eboneezer, who gave Logan such
ripping up, scared them out, or
have they lost all interest and ali
hopes because of the Indifference
manifested by the public? The
only apparent feasible plan we can
now give is to wait till the air ship
is made success 50 that we can
skim above the hills and gulches,
that will relieve the tax payer and
save what little good land there Is
in Hooking County. Then the
"Greasers" from the West will be
familiar objects in Logan. Well,
my opinion of Eboneezer is that he
was cruelty personal in his criti-
cisms of the beer loveing people Of
Logan who may be more domestic
than philosophic in habits and done
tramp over untrodden trails in
quest of a "Forest Rose" or "gan-
der annex" to Goose Creek.
The way "Greaser" put it we
would suppose that Logan was an
infirmary kept up by taxation and
the Office seekers all rogues. He
expresses no confidence whatever
in Logan citizens but wants them
to join hands to his residence on
Gander creek at any cost. Well,
the commercial qualities Of Logan
is subject Of much gossip. IL has
been told till it is believed, that
peck of beans and bushel of pota-
toes will overstock the town for
fortnight. 1 conclude they are
good foragers. How could such a
thing be with three editors to feed
and half dozen lawyers who can
mot get produce in exchange for
fees. If Logan Is such a poor town
why improve public nuisance?
So far as I have observed the peo-
pie Of Logan I have been fully per-
suaded that they were hospitable
to the extreme. But Greaser may
not be delectable to their palates,
as they are not supposed to have
gravel in their craws sufficient.
I am saying the truth when 1
say we need much better roads In
Hooking county than we have got,
and how to get them in the face Of
so much poverty Is a problem that
few will venture to solve. 1 only
know one solitary plan: TO resist
the Dingley tariff bill and eDjoin
it's collection ip Hooking county
by the millionaire to make millions
more and Uncle Sans little stipend
till we get good roads. Some say
put criminals on pu blic roads and
compel them to work there for pub
lie good, and there it will be the
least In competition to honest la
Dor. 1 ask how can you have hon.
est labor at dishonest pauper prlc-
esi? Honest, is foreign word at
LhIs stageiand If things don't soon
change for the better the so-called
criminal class will be the mojority
class in the U. s. -

MAD ATH. CLAY EVANS.
All Chattanooga is IndignantBecause
He Stole Away the President

Chattanooga, Tenn, June 1.-THE cit
liens of Chattanooga are giving H.
Clay Evans a genuine roast on account
of snub administered in the matter
of a reception of the president.
The arrangement had been that the
mayor, presidents of the commercial
bodies, judges and reception commit
tees appointed from citizens to meet
the party should meet the president at
the Read House and formally welcome
him to the city, expressing the gratif-
cation of the people of Chattanooga
that the distinguished official had come
to their city to spend the day. No
public demonstration was thought of
and it was only intended to have a
brief interview with the president be-
fore he went to Mr.. Evans home. But
when the president left his car instead
Of being taken by Mr.. Evans to the
Read House to meet his fellow citi-
zens who he knew were in waiting he
was driven at once to Mr.. Evans house
and the committee left to hold down
the reception at the Read House all
by themselves.
The mayor and the committees are
royalty. 1t is claimed by the commit
tees that efforts had been made to get
the programme from Mr.. Evans. but
that he refused to give any details of
the presidents movements and that he
deliberately planned the trip to his res
idence so that the committees would
not get to see him
Even some of Mr.. Evans friends are
outspOl1en in their condemna ton of his
lack of consideration for the people of
his home town.

POPULISTS WILL SPLIT
When the Nashville Conference At
Temps to Depose Butler.

Atlanta, June 1.-THE state conven-
ton of the Populists in this city next
Tuesday promises to develop some very
lively descriptions in the party.
The conference in Nashville, while
called mainly to declare against f1-sion,
VIII cut off the head of Butler. and that
willy Populist still has many friends
who will stick to him to the last When
q resolution is offered demanding that
he resign, a split is sure to come. Near
ly all of the Populists want Butler out,
but they are opposed to taking very ex-
IRENE measures. They want to content
themselves by passing resolutions con-
demning Buffers fusion ideas of the
last campaign, but do not want to force
him out of the party leadership.
Mr.. D. NJ. Sanders, editor of the Peo-
PIES Party Paper, predicts a split. In
speaking of the situation he said;
Butler refused to call the conference
because he knew the middle-of-the
readers wanted to condemn his own fu-
sion ideas. The national caucus of Pop
ulist congressman decided that it would
not be wise to hold the conference, but
there was only one real POpulist in
congress, that is Howard, of Louisiana.
The others were all elected on fusion
tickets, and they were opposed to call
ing D conference to condemn the very
policy that elected them to Office
The conference will declare against
fusion with any other party. The Pop
ulists are determined that hereafter, if
any one wants POpu1iSt votes he must
come into the Populist party to get
them. The fusion deal in 1886 will be
condemned. Then will come the split.
A great many will favor a party revo-
luton and complete reorganizat ton Of
the executive committee. Some of them
viii want to sit down on Butler, and
force him out. Others will content them
selves with condemnation of his fu-
S on ideas. Others will simply ask that
he resign, but will not go to the extent
of deposing him.
Yes, Tom Watson is the leader of the
POpuliStS, but he will hardly be elected
as chairman of the national executive
committee to succeed Butler, as he
would rather not have it. His idea is
that the Populist party is the peoples
party and that the people should hold
such positions and not the men who
will likely hold office. I have no idea
who will be chosen to succeed Butler,
but there are plenty of men"

Evidence in the American Tobacco
Company Case.

New York, June 1.-THE trial of the
indicted head of the American Tobacco
company was resumed yesterday. The
evidence was limited to testimony by
local dealers as to refusals OF the Amer
lean Tobacco company to supply it's
goods to dealers handling the products
of other companies. A member of the
firm of Park and Tillford told of his
firm having returned p, 500 cigarettes
which they had purchased of rival of
the American Tobacco company, this
action having been taken after agents
of the trust had complained that the
rival goods were being handled in vio-
lation of the firms contract with the
American company.
Robert G. Brown, manager of the Owl
Cigarette company, told of a similar ex-
perience with the American Tobacco
company.
Court adjourned until Friday.
