TURNING TO CLEVELAND
His LawrencevilIe Speech Awakens the
Democrats.
Representative Livingston Declares
the Ex-President is the Logical
Leader on New Issues.

The speech Of Grover Cleveland at Law
rencevile Tuesday has suddenly awaken
ed some of the democrats to a realization
of the fact that they are turning the eyes
of the democratic party once more toward
their only successful residential candidate.
Firding the party cnce more getting in
line with him he has come to the front as
the national leader Of the party committed
to oppose "conqt est and expansion"
Representative Livingston said this morn
ing:
IF the democratic party is going to lay
aside the issue on which we fought at the
last election and look for new issue over
the question of Hawaii and the Philippines,
Grover Cleveland is the logical leader of
the party;lf this is to be our course, he is
the logical candidate. for 1900. He is quick
to realize this.
Quick to Seize the Opportunities.
"He. has probably read of the democratic
caucus and marked the reaching out Of a
new issue. and is quick to seize his oppor-
tEnity. If the democratic party is going to
continue the fight for free silver, then it
can have nothing to do with Grover CIeye-
land. If free silver Is to be the issue we
cannot burden ourselves with other issues,
particularly issues on which we are divided
But If the Partyois going to turn aside
and make an issue of opposition to Ha-
wall, Mr.. CleRelanH Is the logical leader.
He stands as fhe stipreme head of the OPP
position to t41s acquisition of TERRITORY.
Therefore when he saw what was going on
az Washington sheI came out of obscurity.
and. taking thf head of the line, sounded
this buele call:
The American people are tempted
every day and ievery hour to abandon tn sir
accustomed way and enter upon a course
of new and Strange adventure. Never be-
fore In our history have we been b.set
with temptations 50 dangerous as those
which now Whisper in our ears aIlurine

Use for Military Scrap.
From the Philadelphia Record.

The rapidity with which progress has
been made In the manufacture Of projectiles
caused by the continual successive invention
Of superior types has developed in England
fairly large business in military scrap"
iron, as 1t Is called. These obsolete pro-
5ectiies, owing to long continuance of peace
collect at the various arsenals and from
time to time they are offered on the market
m large and sometimes small lots This
military scrap consists of solid projectiles
usually called shot. and hollow projectiles
or shells. Some of the latter have been
filled. and in such case have to be broken
up and their explosive contents removed
before they can be used. The solid shot
consisting of balls weighing %, SO and liz
pounds each, are made of finest Scotch pig
iron. and as scrap they fetch very good
prices The great difficulty. however in
utilizing them appears to be to break them
up, as the solid pieces, If put directly into
the furnace, owing to their shape require
considerably more fuel than IL broken and
then fed to the furnace. The shells being
made Of gray iron also make desirable
scrap. very convenient for use in foundries.

that the formation of the new organiza-

the Presidents second call for troops by
the mastering in Of volunteers is now fair
ly under way. In most of the states the
probability is that all the men necessary
for the new organizations will be obtained
in two or three weeks from the present
time, when the regiments and battalions
will be ready for orders from the COM
manding general of the army. The rem
dezvousing points for the men in the states
have been designated by the governors, and
1t is understood here that thsy are the same
as for tie troops raised under the first call
for 125,000 men.
At the same time the recruiting for filling
existing organizations to their maximum
strength is progressing rapidly, and daily
detachments ara being sent to the mobiliz-
Ing points. Very few applications were
made to Secretary Alger for changes in the
apportionment as originally announced by

Good Advice to Him Would Be to Keep Out
Of America.

Montreal, Aug. 17.-Lieut. CarranZa,
who sailed for Liverpool. on Saturday,
gave The Associated Press correspon-
dent an interview on the way down the
river. He said that he had never dis
regarded Sir Wilfrid Laurier's invita-
ton to leave Canada for the simple
reason that he had never received it.,
and in this connection again declared
that certain paragraphs in the letter
taken from his room were manufac-
tured in Washington. in order to get
him expelled from Canada.
During his absence from Montreal
ne said that he had been travelling
about Canada, enjoying himself and
that he had twice been in the United
States. On his second trip he said he
felt disposed to go to Washington and
call on Chief Wilkie. who had inti-
mated to his friends in Montreal that
he was willing to pay good price, to
learn where he was.
Concerning the conditions of peace,
he declared that it would be impossi-
BILE to find in history except in bar
barOus times harder conditions. 1T
is spoliation only to be compared with
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Poland. The
Americans who went into the war with
the protesting cry of humanity on their
lips, now throw away their mask )f
hypOcricy and by reason of their
strength take all they want; and the
rest OF Europe to their shame be it
said, quietly allow it."
