Col. Smolentz, whose resignation has

the government to pursue its present

Smolentz asserted that the strength

troops on the frontier were about equal.
He had resigned, he said, because his

In view of these considerations, shall deem
it my duty as President TO convene Congress

A GREAT DEAL of complaint has been
made of Mr.. Cleveland's administration
because its relations are alleged to
have been more intimate with the
Spanish minister at Washington than
with the United States Senate. In
view of the fact that though the chair
man of the Senate'5 committee on
foreign relations had letter in his
pocket from the administration, telling
him that Ssnguilly would be liberated,
he voted for resolution demanding
his liberation, it is surprising that the
administration should have had any re-
lations at all with the Senate.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY entered WASH
ington. as is printed, "without escort
or display" But he was guarded oy q
corps of detectives from the time he
left Canton until safely within the
doors of the White House. And that,
too, though this is a free country, and
where 8 President is no more than any
other man when his short term OF office
shall expire. In the case of q king, who
has life tenure, there may be some
reason for guards. but why ex-Presi
dent Cleveland should never have been
out of sight of detectives, and why Pres
ident Mckinley should commence his
term under like protection, that is if
they have clear consciences, is not east
ly comprehended by brave men. Why,
the earlier and better Presidents used
to walk about Washington by them
selves, as other citizens OF the country
do. That men who have sit in" to kill
rulers can accomplish their object, ire
spective of guards, has been demonstra-
ted in this, as we'll as in other countries.

ACCORDING to the popular, and
therefore almost necessarily incorrect,
idea, that success is the measure of
merit, Mr.. Cleveland is great man,
as he succeeded in his object of break
ing up the democratic party. Indeed,
he is veritable Samson, for in pulling
down the temple of democracy and de
stroying some of bis enemies, he killed
himself and all of his prominent friends.
But the sacrifice has benefited nobody.
