INGALLS, ON CLEVELAND.
Americas Great Master Of Invective
Pays His Respects to Roths-
chlld's Friend.

The last day of Grover Cleveland.
Had the American people no other
cause for universal joy this alone
would suffice.
He went into power with much op.
position. He goes out with none.
The nation shares the relief with
which he processes to anticipate lib
Grafton from the cares and burdens OF
state. If he has hearty, cordial,
sincere friend, advocate and cham
piou in either house of congress he
turks privily in ambush and makes
no announcement. Entrusted with
plenary power by the people in 1893,
the failure of his administration in
every department stands confessed.
His policy at home has been de-
structive, and abroad humiliating
and ignominious. The degraded CO.
alition by which he was elected made
no promises that he has not violated
and gave no pledges that he has not
betrayed. His tariff reform has af-
forded neither revenue for the treas
ury, protection for capital nor wages
for labor. His financial measures
have restored neither confidence nor
prosperity. Upon the pretext of re-
plenishing the gold reserve the ma
tional debt has been increased and
bonds sold to favored syndicates to
meet deficiencies in the ordinary ex-
penses of the government.
His diplomacy has been apologize
and vacillating to the. verge of dis
honor, saved only from infamy by. its
grotesque and diverting imbecility.
The Hawaiian episode would be in
credible in the prospectus of a comic
opera. There has been no day in the
last four years that has not witnessed
some new triumph in Clevelandism.
Some bank closed, some railroad in
the hands of receiver, some mer-
chant broken, some furnace extin-
guished, some manned and disabled
veteran stigmatized and branded
with dishonor, driven TO the asylum
or the grave. Boosting of his robust
and incorruptible integrity, he retires
with vast fortune accumulated dur
ing the most disastrous period of his
country's history, in which millions
have been reduced from affiuence to
want and from poverty to beggary.
History will record it's incredulity
that such an impostor could so long
escape detection. He is the central
figure of one epoch to which no lover
of his country will ever revert with
out the blush of indignant shame at
the destruction of its resources and
the degradation of its dignity and
honor; period that has no parallel
except in the time of Walpole, de-
scribed by Macauley as the era of
dwarfish talents and gigantic vices;
the paradise of cold hearts and mar
row minds; the golden age of the
coward, the bigot and the slave. He
bequeaths to his successor falling rev.
enues, disordered finances, Frustrated
industries and social discomfort
which has already obliterated polltl-
cal frontiers and will compel the re-
adjustment of parties to meet the
conditions of the revolution upon
which we have entered.

Des MONIES Correspondence.

And still the grind goes on with lit
tie progress. Before the extra ses-
sion convened the general talk was
that it would last only about three
months. When the magnitude of the
undertaking began to dawn upon the
visions of those interested they said
it would take till May 1st to get
through, and now Speaker Byers
says they will have to hustle to get
home by June LIST. Neither house
has got through more than one-third
of the code and that much has not
been completed, although nearly two
months time has been consumed.
The investigating committee has so
far accomplished nothing and is not
likely to do any more than cover a
lot of rottenness up. There is talk
now that the Polk county grand jury
thinks of making an investigation of
the state house steals. In view of the
fact that this same grand jury could
find nothing on which to base an in
dictment in the city Doodle cases it
would look little as though state
officials who are undergoing investi-
cation are engaging said jury to put
on the finishing touches to the job of
whitewashing. Possibly they think
2-coat work Unnecessary to cover up
all the blemishes.
The liquor manufacturing bill con-
tinues unsettled and is receiving the
lions share of attention, while the
final result is problematical. The
senators who are openly opposed to
it held caucus but found themselves
several votes short of the necessary
number to defeat it, az there are
about six who have not yet expressed
themselves as to how they will take
their stand. 1t is these fellows the
two contending forces are trying to
convince, and the way the prohibit.
tionists, churches, railroads and
breweries are piling petitions onto
them is caution. Some close
figurers say it is apt to result in tie
vote and that in that case Lieuten.
ant Governor Parrot will have the
deciding vote. He, however, denies
this and says the law gives him nc
power to vote in the senate under
any circumstances.
The house passed an amendment
allowing judges to limit the time OF
lawyers speeches before juries, also
one charging all jury fees in trial
to the party losing the case.
Tne executive committee has not
yet fixed the railroad assessment. It
met for that purpose, but Gov. Drake
had to go and help install the 'sad-
vance agent of prosperity" aud the
committee being unable to do bust
ness during his absence had to ad-
journ from day to day until his re-
turn. Little if any change will be
made from last years basis, however,

A HURRICANES FURY.
Passes Over Southern Illinois, Ken.

RAISES over southern lIlinO1S, Ken.
lucky and West Virginia.
Cairo, I'LL, March Ga terrific wind
storm swept over this city at about five
O'clock in the morning and for about
ten minutes the velocity of the wind
was about SIS miles per hour. The roofs
of houses and barns, trees, fences and
sign boards were badly wrecked. One
house in the outskirts of the city was
SO badly damaged that stove over
turned and set fire to the building. The
tbree-months-old baby of Caesar Pet
tbs (colored) was burned to death.
Several other inmates were seriously
burned. The windstorm was accom-
panied by heavy rain and fierce cleo
trical display.
Louisville, March GA cyclone did
considerable damage in east central
kentucky during the morning. At Win
chester several buildings were I'M
rooted and three new ones demolished.
At Mount Sterling the great McBrayer
distillery was unroofed. The Louis
vile s. Nashville roundhouse at Row
land was wrecked, and property suf-
fered severely at Stanford. Southern
Indiana was flooded Thursday night by
the heaviest rain in years. The Balti-
more & Ohio Southwestern has three
heavy washouts near Seymour, and the
Pennsylvania two. Every bridge on
the Evansville &; Richmond between
bedford and Seymour is washed out.
One train was wrecked by going
through asculvert.
Western Kentucky was also in the
storms path. In Christian county a
negro was killed by the blowing down
of Il barn and two others probably ia
tally injured. Near East Christian
Robert Hall, farmer, was fatally in
iured by piece of flying timber.
Huntington, w. Va, March CA hur-
ricane passed over this city at 1880
o'clock in the afternoon, doing thou
sands of dollars of damage. The big
gable on the south end Of the Marshall
college building was blown in, causing
panic among the students. Many
scholars tainted and had to be carried
from the building. Fortunately the
gable fell outward, or the massive stone
and brick might have killed 100 per-
sons in the recitation room, just be-

and if the million dollar deficiency is
made up by increased taxation it will
be levied on the farms and property
of the toiling and producing classes
Everybody seems to be in favor of
retrenchment In fact the republi.
cans realize that something in that
direction must be done if that party
is to retain any vestige of hope OF
future dominanance. The people
are not satisfied to have the state
run into debt about a million dollars
a year when the farmers are raising
the best of crops and everything is as
prosperous as can be expected under
the republican program. They say
that party responsible for such a
state of affairs is not fit to trust at
the helm of state and must be turned
down. Hence the desire of the legis-
lMors and leaders to trim down the
expenses. But the trouble is every
fellow wants the retrenchment to
strike some other fellows department
and whenever there is a suggestion of
cutting salaries or laying off assist
tants in any particular department
there is a protest heard, long and
loud, and all kinds of figures pro-
duced to show that it is impossible to
spare a cent from that source.

State Dairy Commissioner Board
man in his annual report says there
were only two violations of the OLE
omargerine law in the state last year,
one at Oelwein and the other at
Clinton, both parties were prosecuted
and now there is only one licensed
dealer in Iowa and his business does
not pay for the license. Mr.. Board
man further says that the traffic in
the state has been literally stamped
out and that there is not enough in it
for the dealer to pay for his license.

Miss Helen Musgrave, Of Cameron
township, Pa, found death in letter to
her lover. While moistening the flap OF
the envelope the girls tongue was
slightly lacerated, which resulted in
blood poisoning, from which she died.
The girl had quarreled with her lover,
Herman Schultz, and he had left for
Pittsburgh. Ae soon as he was,gone, she
relented, and sat down and wrote a
letter, asking forgiveness and pleading
with him to return. 1t was in sealing
this letter that her tongue received the
liberation which ended in her death. In
response to the letter Schultz returned,
only to find his sweetheart dying.

For many years the weather station
at Marquette, Mich, had the distinc-
ton of reporting the greatest snow
fall in the United States. Snow lines
on old tAer-laaps showed Marquette
as the radiating point. Last winter
the deepest snow fell at sault Sic.
Marie. and the map was changed. Now
the copper country is the place of deep
est snow, Marquette seeming to be al
most on the edge of the belt.

When P. A. Spicer settled in Kansas
many years ago, he says in the Liter
airy Digest, neighbor in digging o
well found a fine, rich surface soil at u
depth of 100 feet. Digging through
this, the workmen found gravel, clay,
andwater. This earth which was thrown
out was found covered in the course of
few weeks with rich growth Of
tropical vegetation. There were little
date trees and other varieties of palms,
besides shrubs, plants, weeds and
grasses in great numbers, all totally
unlike anything which grew or could
grow in the open air throughout the
year in that climate.

Another bit OF work which is awfully
hard on an officers sensiblities is the ar
resting of some of the small and inno-

have no license and therefore violate the
law nominally, though the amount of
busines is SO small that the license fee
would cover two years business. Yet

did not agree with him, called upon an
officer to arreet one of those small mer-
chants, girl, who was peddling psns.
Being ordered to arrest her the officer
objected but the merchant was obstinate,
and insisted and expressed his intention
OF preferring a charge against her. Hav-'
ing no alternative the officer was forced
to make the arrest. The diminutive of
ender was iso frightenee that she COL
lapsed and the policeman picked her up
in his arms. With the man at his heels
the poor fellow was compelled to walk
the length of the street crowded with
women. He had children of his own
and it is said that the memory of the
looks and words which he
received during that walk, was SO strong
that he expressed his intention of resign
ing from the force rather than make an
other such arrest. Verify a policeman's
life is not happy one.
