Conclusion

In conclusion | desire To earnestly urge
upon you the necessity for wisdom and
economy in the expenditure Of the public
funds. Tho history Of every state shows
that in proportion "a a wise economy is
praCtccd in the expenditure of the public
money is the administration Of public affairs
clean and efficient. Yet it should not he
forgotten that economy does not imply in
adequate" provision for the actual needs OF
public institutions.
II is apparently the popular judgment that
prolonged. The times are hard and the
people are in 30 hUmOr for cXtraya-ant or
unnecessary expenditures. and pledge my

work before us he carried forward with due
dispatch and economy.

HlsTORY'S VERDICT.

1t win Render TO Mr. Cleveland the Meri.
u He Deserves. ... .-.. .
Mr.. Cleveland is very unpopular in
Washington. At the close Of his admin
istration it is no longer possible to con-
ceal the fact. ."
People who have studied Cleveland
know that he was far from popular in
Buffalo. 1t can easily be demonstrated
that in that city his policies, as a public
officer, were never Endorsed by his re-
election and that his party was made to
suffer vicariously for his incapacity and
uncongeniality. He was also unpopular
at Albany during his term as governor.
1t is amusing to read in Republican
journals and in other journals that still
lay claim to the Democratic name after
desertion Of the party that history will
do the name of Cleveland justice. There
can be no doubt Of it. History, sooner
or later, does every man justice.
In the case of Cleveland there will be
no long delay. He will be thoroughly
understood before the close of this cen
tury, and history's verdict upon him is
foreshadowed by the estimate in which
he is now held by the great party which
heaped upon him unexampled honors
and which he betrayed to the money
changers for the same inducement tina,

The Republican Party Responsible For
the Prevailing Distress.
In an editorial commenting ON Mr..
McKinley's expressed wish that the
$50, 900 which the Inauguration COM
mittee purposes to spend on the cere-
monies should be set aside for charity,
the Kansas City Times says:
Just now the millions of dollars con.
tributed by the slush funders, whose
money was the main factor in McKin-
ley election, would remove all the press
ing want and dire distress Of the desti.
tute and unemployed people in the
United States during the continuance of
the rigorous weather and leave enough
surplus to pay for dozen inaugural
balls such as the impending one.
Major Mckinley and such of his hui
name friends as have grown rich out OF
the class legislation and protective pol
icy of the Republican party would dc
well while this fit of charity is on them
to reflect ON the long chain of causes
which have made gaunt poverty, com
panioned by sickness, restitution, idle.
ness and hunger, stalk through the cities
of the land, bringing death to many,
suffering to thousands and causing the
humiliation of receiving aims to make
bitter the bread of other thousands OF
honest men and women, all too willing
to work if the door of opportunity were
not locked and barred against them.
The policy of protection, which en-
riches those who have much and impov-
erishes those who have little, upheld by
Major Mckinley and the cormorant
trusts monopolies and money grabbers
who elected him, are responsible almost
entirely for the confagration of misery
which he has expressed wish to extin.
guish with the uncomfortable sum to be
spent on Mark Hanna's inaugural ball.

The examining trial of the men

justify the court in holding John

A REPUBLICAN, TRICK.
The international Conference Plan i
Simply to Deceive the Public.

The International Conference Plan IL
Simply to Deceive the Public.
The manner in which the Republic
ans will try to stave off notion indefl-
nitely ON the financial question and give
them further opportunities to fool the
people is indicated in the bill passed by
the senate authorizing the president to
appoint delegates to any international
money conference that may be called, or
to call one himself if he thinks it ju-
dicious to do SO.
This means, of course, the expendi-
ture Of another nice sum for salaries for
number of eminent and high priced
lawyers and financiers for doing over
again what has been done thrice before
without securing any practical results.
The last of these conferences was held in
Brussels only four years ago. If the Re-
publicans were sincere in their professed
faith of international bimetallism, even
they would not put forward this old,
wornout scheme of talking the matter
all over again from the beginning. They
would instead formulate some positive
plan and act ON it.
The Republicans in this congress, and
those who will be in the next as well as
those who will compose the Mckinley
administration, have no idea Of accom-
plishing anything through another such
conference as that which was called in
the last months of Benjamin Harrison's
occupancy of the White House. They
have resolved on do nothing policy,
but they want to deceive the public If
possible into the belief that they are
really trying to help silver by sending
junketing delegates abroad once more to
take part in useless palayers. NV

our English cousins are contented What
