When it was hoped that the coun-
try had heard the last of Grover
Cleveland for some time to come, he
suddenly bobbed up in New York last
week and made a speech before the
reform Club whatever that is.
From this speech it would seem that
Mr.. Cleveland had hopes of again
occupying the presidential chair and
some believe that it was the keynote
of his campaign for 1900. 1t was gen.
orally supposed that Mr.. Cleveland
was no dullard, that he at least had
ordinary shrewdness and foresight.
But if he imagines that he is any
thing but a political back number he
is lacking in the sagacity for which
he has often been given credit. His
speech, as usual, was egotistical, un-
truthful and m place. For
one who has become rich while he
was making his country poor, he at
least should be modest i'm speech, but
modesty is not a Cleveland charac-
teristic. He is the las man in his
party TO unite the ulScOruent eie-
ments even if it were possible to do
SO in the next four years. He blows
his free trade horn as loudly as ever
and u the Republican party of
bad faith for adhering to the pro-
tective principle. But Mr.. Cleveland
knows that there was not the first
sign of a surrender OF protection in
the campaign last fall. Democrats
who voted for Mckinley did SO with
their eyes wide open, N many OF
them because they We're sick and
tired of Cleveland hard times. Those
who could not vote for Bryan and
free silver voted for Mckinley because
they thought there was less danger
from protection. Mr.. Cleveland
should realize the fact that he is des-
pissed by the greater element of his
own party, curb his egotism, selfish
ness and greed and enjoy the bless
ings of private life, al BELTS n man
without a party. A generous people
may overlook some of his faults,
even if they cannot forget that he
was the greatest failure that ever
occupied the presidential chair.

A Democratic Prince.

Several years ago Prince Oscar of
Sweden, nephew of the present king,
shocked court circles by declaring that
he intended to marry Miss Ehba Monk,
a young lady of patrician birth, but yet
far below him in rank The king pro-
tested and even refused to permit the
marriage, whcroupon Prince Oscar de-
clared that he would yield his title and
resign all rights of succession, but that
marry Miss Monk he certainly would
The marriage was celebrated i'll due
time, and Prince Oscar has never been
seen in the royal circles since. The king
and queen have maintained friendly but
distant relations with their democratic
nephew, who is known simply as Prince
Oscar, and who is immensely popular
with the people because of his philan-
thropy.
Prince Oscar and his wife have been
devoted to causes of charity and benev-
olence, but recently have created sec
ond sensation by joining the ranks of
the Salvation Army. The prince and
his wife hold regular open air meetings
according to the methods of the army.
The prince exhorts, and he and his wife
lead in the street singing.
