by one who held in his left hand the
lamp of sincerity and in his right the
sword of courage. 1t is these two
qualities that have brought man up
from the brute and the savage to
where he stands under heaven today.
Coward" and liar are the two bit
terest reproaches that the tongue can
utter. The man to whom none can
deny the opposite of these terms may
stand erect and look the whole world
in the face.
Beyond these sterling qualities, in
forming and penetrating and directing
them, Grover Cleveland has been.
through every hour of his official life,
patriot. He loves his country He
believes in Democracy. He reverences
our institutions as the noblest and
best productions of human association
under political forms. Never for one
moment has he wavered. Mistaken he
may have been sometimes, prepos-
sessed, stubborn, reused to obstinate
resistance. goaded 20 hot anger by the
desperate villainy of some assassin Of
motive, but never for one instant has
he lost faith in the great republic or
yielded in his devotion to her. 1t is
this that has endeared him to millions
1t is this that made them feel that
they would rather have him, committed
to what they believed to be wrong,
for leader than another man in the
right; for he they knew was sincere,
disinterested and acting for his coun-
try's good with a purpose as single as
that of the son who defends his
mothers name. This is high patriot
ism; and it is the last, best gift that
man may offer to the nation that
bore him and laid upon him a duty
higher even than he owes to friend or
family. In the simplicity of these
great qualities Grover Cleveland has
done his work among us; bearing cheer
fully or calmly good or evil report;
holding a stout heart when the waves
beat high, and willing to commit his
record and the Wilderness of his pur-
pose to the just judgment of the future
and the infalltbIe witness Of Almighty
God. The nation that has so honored
him and that he has served so we'll
will not forget him. Where in the ma
tional galaxy his star shall stand Is no
concern of his or ours. But always his
name shall be written on the scroll
as that of one who loved his country
most and served her best and was con-
tent. Therein lies his present honor
and the great record that is to be his
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-03-04

has declared that it is the business of
political parties and of administrations
to seek. not the right thing, but the
polite thing. 1t has declared that
prosperity is better than honor, and
that an administration which does not
bring wealth tosthe people and put an
end to business depression and financial
uncertainty is asfailure to be condemn
ed unsparingly. / BY setting up that
test the Republican party has made it
inevitable and jast 9that the people de-
mand of the new president and his
party the restoration of prosperity
They have made their pledge as they
have made the trials of the times the
text or their invectfve against Demo-
cratic administration. By their own
standards they will be judged. Unless
Mr.. Mckinley has thaumaturgic pow
ers, unsuspected and unexercised, to
create a magical interval of universal
peace and plenty, so that all our toll
ing millions shall be Tapped in ease
and luxury for the four years of his
term, the sentence that he has passed
upon others will recoil upon his head
This is the discouraging outlook that
opens before the new occupant of the
white house today. We have no de-
sire, no Democrat who deserves also
the name of citizen can wish to add
a feathers weight to his burdens, or to
put straw of difficulty in the path his
feet must tread. We have a right to
snow, as we have shown, that the
clouds which hang over his head have
been blown to their dark and menacing
proportions by the winds Of partisan
agitation; that the pitfalls before him
were dug by Republican hands for un-
wary adversaries; that every serious
problem with which this administra-
tlon must grapple and every issue that
threatens to swallow and annihilate it
Is OF its own creation. The probable
ltles that point to a Republican exc
dus with all the insignia of failure and
disgrace four years from now rise. not
from the nature of the task or the i'm
mensity of the interests concerned, but
from the folly and unfairness of Re
publican methods and protestations.
From us President Mckinley shall
have nothing but fair criticism, praise
where this is due, censure when he de-
serves it; not because he is a Republi-
can, but because he may fall short of
that high craftsmanship that his po-
sition calls for. We wish him well,
but we believe. that nothing short Of
a miracle could aextricate a man, even
Of his undoubted sincerity, from the
position in which the evils inherent in
Republicanism, brought so strongly to
the front today weigh him down and
narrow his future to little else than a
choice between methods of failure.

10Th HOUSES OF CONGRESS WORK
ING AWAY AT A HIGH
TENSION.
QUAY FURNISHED INCIDENT.
FOR A TIME HE THREATENED TO
BLOCK THE BIG
BILLS.
TOTAL CLOSE AT HALF BILLION.
Final Action Still to Be Had ON the
Sundry Civil and Deficiency
Appropriations.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Working
at high tension both houses of congress
are hurrying to close the business Of
the legislative session before it's ex-
plration by limitation at noon today
AT 2:3O o'clock this morning the
house had accepted the conference re-
port on the sundry civil bill and taken
recess for one hour.
Only two appropriation bills await
nnal action, the sundry civil and de-
ticiency. The Conferees are working
hard and hope to reach agreements be-
fore morning, so that they may reacn
the president early. A rough estimate
of the total appropriations for the ses-
sion fixes the amount at $425, ,000 900.
Mr.. Quay, Of Pennsylvania, furnished
the most exciting episode of the clos
ing hours. When the news reached
the senate from the house that the
naval bill had been passed, fixing the
price Of armor plate at $500 per ton, he
began a series of fiHbustering motions
that threatened to defeat the appro-
priation bills awaiting action. To
those who asked his object, he ex-
planned his purpose frankly and de-
Clared the only thing to do was for the
house to reconsider its action Other
wise he promised to defeat the sundry
civil and deficiency bills. Until mid
night he persisted in his course and the
result was a series Of roll calls that
wasted valuable time At 1915 he
stated that as the naval bill had pass
ed, he would give up the fight and
not offer further opposition to the bills
still awaiting consideration.

PAYMASTER SHORT.
The Government Robbed of Ten
Thousand Dollars

CHICAGO, March 3.-John Corwine. the
United States navy paymaster who a few
days ago suddenly left Newport, R. l.. ac-
cused Of being an embezzler of government
funds, was arrested in this city this even
ing When arrested he confessed to the
police of having robbed the government OF
$4,000 during the time that he held the m
stion of paymaster
AS soon Corwines fight became known
Secretary Of the Navy Herbert telegraphed
instructions to the subtreasury at Boston to
stop payment on checks signed by the de-
faulting paymaster. In a grip that Corwina
carried the police found nearly So 600 in
money: In his confession Corwine said his
hrst defalcation was committed several
years ago, and he laid the blame for it upon
a clerk In his office. He says the clerk con-
hded to him method of embezzling which
the government could not detect. Corwine
said he was at first inclined to have the
clerk arrested, and told the latter so, but
the clerk broke down and announced that
during the time he had been employed in
the paymasters Office he had made away with
$4,000. The clerk was a good friend of his.
CorWine says, and this account he de-
cided to befriend him. He set about irving
to make good the 900 that the clerk had
taken and in doing this embezzled S.. COO
His next defalcation was several days ago
when he took the check for s. 900 and finally
went to Boston with it, Corwine refused to
tell the name of the clerk whom he impli-
Gated in the embezzlement and he told such
wild stories Of his dealings with the clerk
that the police believe the latter is in no
way concerned in the crime. Corwine de-
clares he is willing to return to Newport
without requisition papers.

crew had deserted him, and through It
all kept his rudder true.
This is the retrospect that the event
taking place in Washington this morn
ing compels to rise before the eyes of
every Democrat. There should be in
it a lesson for US ALL Democracy, the
organization, cannot afford to be dis
loyal to Democracy, the principle. In
success it dare not palter with it's sa-
cred principles, nor in defeat dare it
desert them. 1t holds it's existence on
the tenure of loyalty to them. It must
leave shifty expediency to the ephem-
eral organizations that rise and fall
away, while it goes on forever. If it
violate ever the law Of it's being
must suffer the inevitable penalty. 1t
must learn. in the language of Lowell,
that nothing pays but God"

LETTER FROM BAKER
On the Nicaragua Canal Submitted
to the Senate.

WASHINGTON, March, 8. - The
president today sent to the senate the
correspondence on file in the depart
ment of state relative to the Nicaragua.
canal. Probably the most important
part of the correspondence is a com
munication from Minister Baker to
which he details an interview with
President Zelaya, of Nicaragua, in
which the latter stated that he had
taken the opinion Of a commission Of
three lawyers who agreed that the
Maritime Canal company had forfeit
ed it's concession by It's failure to do
any work for many years. Mr.. Zelaya
then expressed to Mr.. Baker the hope
that the United States government
would take UP the enterprise He said
1t could be very easily arranged to
have the contract transferred to the
government Of this country as he had
reached the conclusion that only
great government could put the work
through.
ST asked the president" says Mr..
Baker, ''if this government has had
at any time an offer from a foreign
country to take hold of this enterprise
on condition that the existing contract
should be gotten rid Of. He frankly
said: cit has not"
Mr.. Baker adds that he makes these
statements at President Zelaya's re-
quest in order that his position may
be understood at Washington The
correspondence includes several letters
from Mr. Blaine, when he was secre-
tary Of state.

result In the case Of Senator HeitfeIn

which have been made by State Renre-
sentative JONES, do not touch Senato,.
Heltfeld personally; and, even if tbav
did, his title to his seat could not he
questioned. It would be a case for
senate investigation afterwards.
Senator Shoup, of Idaho, this evening
SAID: i have but a slight acquaintance

.: on ms action other than to say that
II seems strange that he should have
withheld his charge until the last mo-
u1ent' Just when Senator Heitfeld was
starting for Washington to assume his
once. 1t is penitentiary offense in
1dano TO receive or give a bribe. and
! am unable to see where JONES Is to
benefit himself in the matter. I know
senator Heitfeld to be a gentleman Of
superior ability as business man. and
am confident that he will be found IN

AT THE THEATERS.

One of the most important events of the
present theatrical season is the engagement
of the Francis Wilson Opera company in tho
comic opera success Half a King" which
begins tonight at the Metropolitan opera
house. Half a King was constructed espe-
ctally for Mr.. Wilson, and his talents as a
comedian are given full scope. 1t was
adapted by Harry B. Smith from piece
written by two Frenchmen, and the music
was furnished by Ludwig Englander The
result is the best comic opera the comedian
has ever had, and in point of scenery cos
tunes and general magnfcence 1t easily
ranks as the greatest of Mr.. Wilson'S pro-
ductions. Mr. Wilson will, it is said be sup
ported by the same company which made
the New York run Of Half a King" such
success, including John Brand, Peter Lang,
J. G.. Miron, Clinton Eelder Miss Christie
Macdonald, Agnes Paul, Aggie MARITIME,
Blanche Plunkett and Miss Lulu Chaser The
engagement of Half a King is for three
nights and Saturday matinee
The Characterization Of Maj Pickney Poin-
dexter, as portrayed by Thomas Wise. in the
production of "The War of Wealth" at the
Grand, the present week, is a most interesting
impersonation. Fanny Mcintyre is delightful
as the heroine and the assisting talent is Of
capable description.
De Koven and Smiths latest success. ''The
Mandarin" will begin an engagement of
three nights and Wednesday matinee at the
Metropolitan opera house next Monday even
ng. This great comic opera was produced
in New York early in the present season.
and made a tremendous hit, scoring the big
gest success in this line since the original
production Of Robin Hood" 1t will be seen
here with the same clever company and
the same superb scenery and accessories
used IN the New York production, and will
undoubtedly prove one of the strongest at
fractions of the season.

CANAL PROJECT SAVED.
Cut Out by the Senate, Restored by
the House.

WASHINGTON, March 3.-One OF
the most important matters that has
received attention for a number of
years is the United States survey Of a
deep water route between the Great
Lakes and the Atlantic ocean. That
this project will be ultimately realized
is assured, as the house has COM
mitted itself to it. At 10 o'clock this
morning, Representative Towne Sc
cured the rejection by the house Of the
conference committee report, which
was adverse to the appropriation Of
$4,000 for continuing the examina-
tion and making definite surveys of
practicable routes for the great canal.
In the contest on the floor this morn
ing, Mr.. ToWne was fortunate enough
to defeat Cannon, chairman, Of the ap-
preparation committee, who made an
especial fight against this provision. It
Is expected that tomorrow the scheme
for a canal around Niagara falls, on
American soil, will be continued and
perfected
