Mr.. Cleveland ms an AxitatOr.

According to the purposes declared at
the dinner given for Mr.. Cleveland by the
Reform Club in New York Saturday night.
the gold democrats are to re-enter the
field of agitation. Under the banner of the
single gold standard. they are going forth
TO conquer the country. They are opposed
alike to the silver democrats and to the
protection republicans. and they will give
battle to both for national supremacy. IL
Is big undertaking. and is announced at
time when the wisdom of IL NAV well be
questioned.
The principal speaker was, of course the
guest OF the evening. and he formulated
the challenge issued. In phrases with
which the country has grown familiar no
outlined the duty of the hour. and pointed
out where the battle must be fought. He
arraigned the Bryanites for this thing and
the McKinleyites for that thing. and in
sisted that the only genuine thing-big with
permanent relief and prosperity for the
country-was that he himself was descr,b-
ing. He was surrounded by devoted adj
mirers and personal friends-men who are
to take the field under his Inspiration and
direction-and his reception was enthusi-
astic.

which II threw the company. the speech

mere and there a citizen is found who Is
indifferent to such considerations and his
neglect of the parking detracts from the
general appearance of the whole neigh

treatment for its generous donation of
this land. for the extra space adds not
alone to the attractiveness of the prop

the public health is benefited by the de-

Lynchinx and 1t. Consequences.

Those Alexan6rians who have been sur
fering from nervous anxiety for the past
day are but paying the penalty which
any community earns when 1t departs from
the usual course of law and order and I'M
dertakes to punish crime by extraordinary
methods. A heinous offense was COM
mitted. The perpetrator was captured and
imprisoned There was not the slightest
doubt of his ultimate punishment by due
process of law. after full and free trial
The city had nothing to fear from a SUBJ
mission of the case to the proper methods.
1t had likewise nothing to gain but all to
lose 1t chose the alternative which many
comnu nities have formed a habit of TAX
ing and lynched the man in summary fash
ion. Immediately many citizens began to
apprehend the probability of a race riot
The public nerves were unstrung for il was
realized that in leaving the safe path OF
law and order the possibilities for other
departures from the same course had been
created One crime 1t Is said. begets an
other. One act Of violence Is equally apt
to create others in its wake. The lynching
of Mccoy. being useless was condemned
by many people other than the few negroes
who. angered by what in their suspicious
minds was act of racial discrimination
suggested revenge. 1t is to be hoped that
the lynching and its subsequent alarm will
teach a wholesome lesson to the people
of Alexandria. and will tend to discourage
further reckless tamperings with the ma
chine that is designed to protect the COM
munity from violence and crime. They
have just taken steps to improve that ma
chine. and though the disturbances oc-
CURED before the change could take effect
they cannot but bear upon the temper of
the citizens and upon their general view of
the principles of municipal government 1t
is of course to be borne in mind that a
iynching. itself the act of only a few men,
reflects upon the whole community. and
that unless it takes decided steps to punish
the offenders and to guard against re-
peated outrages of this character. the city
as whole must share the blame with the
real perpetrators of the unlawful act

but the speech Of an agitator. Mr.. Bryan
himself. in his most felicftous mood does
not misstate the republican case more par
tisanly. Mr.. Cleveland, as Mr. Bryan does
charges that the republicans won their
fight on the money issue and now are SUBJ
shutting the tariff issue. The charge is
disproved by the record. But Mr.. Bryan
does not suffer as Mr.. Cleveland does in
making 1t. Has Mr.. Cleveland no recol-
lection of party which won a presidential
campaign on the tariff issue and then saw
the President of It's choice substitute the
money issue for that? Has he forgotten
the denunciations that President received
for that act. and how they eliminated in
his reputation by his party at its next ma
tfonal convention. That party was the
democratic party, and that President was
Grover Cleveland, and yet Mr.. Cleveland,
by distorting the record, rebukes the re-
publicans for an alleged act which he him
self has actually committed!
Mr.. Cleveland does not shut his eyes to
the dangers that still confront the country
from the strength Of the silver organIza-
ton. Hear him: e., -'
who believe that disaster waits upon the
aScendency of those forces, and yet turn
away from the plain evidence Of their dan
gerous strength. Let US be honest with
each other and with ourselves
Certainly That Is an excellent senti-
ment. But what is Mr. Cleveland's plan
for protecting the country from the threat
ened disaster? Divide uD the forces of

ton the party in power charged with the
responsibility Of legislation, and in every
way. while denouncing the free siIverites.
play directly, to the full extent Of his abil-
ity, into their hands!
Probably the most deplorable effect of
this propaganda will be to revive talk
about a third term, and fasten 1t upon the
sc und money cause. 1t will be useless for
MI Cleveland or hts friends to pitch their
6eliverances in the key of unselfish pa
triotism. The men who are behind him
now are the men who were willing to sup
port him for q third term last year, and
many people will see but one thing in this
movement. The country is against third
term. Mr.. Cleveland, particularly, is
barred. The country returns to protection,
put 1t will not return to tariff for de-
nciency. or to "wallowing in the mire" of
a pusillanimous foreign policy Whatever
else may happen. that much is certain not
to happen.
Meanwhile those who desire to help adj
vance the cause of sound money without
Interior or selfish motives. may hope best
TO do that by supporting the sound money
party in power to redeem it's honestly
made promises to the people.
