How Cleveland Kept His Word.

A year before Grover Cleveland was
elected Mayor of Buffalo he spent an even
ing with former Assemblyman Chance and
Mr.. Mclean, American Consul at Nassau.
Mr.. Cleveland related some anecdotes of
Buffalo political life with such spirit that
Mr.. Mclean made this prediction:
'Tll tell you what, Mr.. Cleveland" he
said, 'if you stick to politics you'll be
President some day"
"Umphn' - replied the Buffalo lawyer.
"What would you do now-to-day-
you were President of the United States ~
inquired Mr. Chance speculatively.
"Take Government dispatch boat and
go a-fshing."
"All right" said Chance. Consider
yourself President"
you've got to reappoint me to Office

agreed" replied Mr.. Cleveland "And
what do you want, ChanceY
~ guess III 60 fishing, too," answered
the ASSemblyman.
The next year Mr.. Cleveland was cleo
ted Mayor of Buffalo, and ascended by the
rapidest jumps on record to the White
House by way of Albany. But he was
true to his word. He took dispatch
and went a-ishing, he reappointed Mclean
Consul, and he invited Mr.. Chance to 60
fishing with him.

Municipal Ownership.

The question of municipal ownership of
a prominent place i'll the present municl-
pal campaign, and, although several of the
gentlemen at the head of the JackSonian
ticket are Oh record as opposed to muni
cipal ownership, and per contra,in favor of
private management of public franchises,
the platforms of all factions contain
planks declaring in unmistakable terms
for municipal ownership.
The water service of n great city is one
portant, public work of Municipal Govern
ment. On proper water supply depends
in a very great degree the health and
comfort of the community, as we'll as the
safety of property, both public and private.
An insufficient or unreliable water supply
is a menace to property by exposing 1t to
destruction by fire. That the water ser

Does America Still Spell ''OppOrtunity?"

Governor Pingree called the attention
of the Chicago conference to the most Sc
rious charge against the trusts when he
declared that they tend to destroy indivi-
dual hope of business independence. The
opportunity of the mechanic to become
master-man, of the store clerk to become
q small retail merchant, of tho small retail
merchant to become wholesale merchant
is growing smaller as the trusts grow
more numerous and powerful.
1t is of comparatively small Importance
whether the trusts are cheapening prices
to the consumer, or whether they are pay
ing higher or lower wages to their en-
ployees. The far larger question is that
which Governor Pingree puts to the front !:
Are they taking away from millions of
men the equality of opportunity which
Emerson says made America what it is
Are they destroying all the old possibili-
ties of individual independence Are
they making hopeless wageslaves of great
multitudes of American men who but for
their operations would be ambitiously as
piring to better their condition, and who
by dint of their own ability and hard work
might reasonably expect to do so IN Y.

Whenever a new cotton mill or factory
for other purposes is established in the
south one of it's first needs is a young man
from Massachusetts, or Pennsylvania to
superintend it, says the Atlanta Constitu-
ton. We have young men of our own
who should be available for this work, but
owing to our faulty ideas on education,
while they are prepared to be doctors or
lawyers, they are not prepared to be
handlers of coal or iron. Thus we see
them standing about without employment
or clamoring for commissions in the army,
while the fat berths with comfortable sal
aries at home are almost all taken up by
strangers. The need of our country, then,
is education-techni education. We
do not need men who can expound Black
stone, but men who can swing hammers
and press electric buttons. If we do not
make our facilities for technical education
broad enough and thorough enough we
must expect to see the Massachusetts
man sitting in the superintendent office
while our own sons pass around the water
pail.
