CLEvELAND's NAMEsAKEs
Have no Cause to be Ashamed of Having
Been so Christened.

We observe, says the Greeneville, s.
O., News, that good many of the boys
who were named Grover Cleveland in
1882 and 1884 are coming into the col
leges and high schools now. All OF
them may feell that they will never
have cause to be ashamed of their name.
We do not hear much Of Grover Cleve-
land these times, but he is yet grow
ing man. When the history of his two
administrations are clearly.and honest
ly written it will be understood by
thoughtful people that he was one of
the greatest and biggest presidents this
country has had, and the moreis known
of him the bigger and greater he will
be. His work was done with his pen,
and the finances Of the country, but it
demanded more nerve than Jackson
needed in fighting the bank or Lincoln
used in conducting the civil war, and it
rescued this country from danger as
serious as it has ever been threatened
with. Cleveland had the courage to
defend the credit of these United States
and in doing it to defy his own friends
and party and the clamor and abuse Of
mob extending from ocean to the other.
We we're glad to see Gov. Shaw, Of
Iowa, republican, declare in public
speech the other day that this Union
crawled across one of the most serious
crises in history on the stiff back of
Grover Cleveland That is the truth,
too.
Sonny, as you grow up, don't ever be
ashamed to write your name in full
"Grover Cleveland JONES', and when
you have vote to announce yourself a
Grover Cleveland democrat. He is the
kind of a man we would like to see you
all try to be-the kind of man who,
believing certain thing to be right,
sticks to it, no matter what powers of
lies or dangers may assail him; who, be-
ieying that his duty is to do thing,
does it, and goes right on doing it, in
the face of the very devil himself, and
| regardless of personal consequences
who will stand by his country and his
promise against his party, his friends,
his enemies and all the combined DOW
ers of the earth.
That is the way to be great man and
to achieve great results. We fought
the Spanish war successfully because
our credit was unlimited, and our credit
was unlimited because Grover Cleve-
land said that while there was an ounce
of gold in the world this Union would
meet its obligations in gold on demand
and he foughtit out steadily and sturdi-
ly on that line. Because of that same
stubborn back of his the country is
prosperous as it is today, and the most
of you boys who are named for him are
able to go to college and school.
The Grover Cleveland people are not
heard of much in the newspapers and
are not controlling democratic politics
now, but the woods are full of them,
and if they could be marshalled they
would be an enormous and impressive
host.

Details of the last important fight in
South Africa, at Belmont, south of
Kimberley, are meager SO far, but they
show that while the British were VIC
torious they were not able to follow up
their victory owing to the lack of suf.
fcent cavalry force. Cecil Rhodes, in
Kimberley, is said to have a balloon
ready to take him skyward should his
fight become necessary. AT Lady
smith and Mafekina no change in the
situation is reported. A large British
force left Estcourt for reconnaissance
and had several insignificant skirm-
ishes with bands of Beers.

LITERARY NOTES.

The December "New Lippincott"
breathes the Christmas spirit through
out. The complete novel by Ernest
Rhys in the December "New Lippin-
colt, under the striking title of "The
Whistling Maid" isaromanee Of rush
ing interest and weird beauty, surpass-
ing anything yet achieved by writer
Of far-reaching fame. 1t exhales the
very breath Of the Welsh land in which
the scene is laid, and brings back the
charm Of love and martial glory which
characterized the days of Celtic knight
hood.
OF almost equal Importance with the
longer novel is brief one by William
D. Howells, called "The Magic of a
Voice." bright and amusing tale of
upper New York State, where the I'm
dercurrent of marvellous penetration is
evident in an unusual degree, as we'll

/ 1t is possible that the remon-
STRANGE Of the taxpayers against
the swipe the commissioner made
at the treasury in their own behalf
---about $50 a day each---has SO
frightened the board that they have
made up their minds to turn their
entire salaries back into the treas
ury and then set up the claim that
they had always intended to do so.
1t is evident to every one that the
commissioners appreciated that
the finances of the county have
been given into their hands" that
it had been their purpose to appro
pirate good slice Of the same to
themselves. If they back down
from that position it will be be.
cause they have become scared. and
mighty badly scared at that.
Then it may be that they mean
TO plead showing of reduction of
expenses in other departments of
the county government as justi
fication of increasing the expenses
OF the commissioners by raising the |
salaries for each individual com.
missioner. This can be no excuse
whatever. There is no grounds
upon which they can defend their
salary grab. Had they made it
$1,000 each, they might, with
some show of reason, have set up
the claim that they believed in the
theory that a public Office was
private snap and that they we're
entitled to everything that the law
allowed them, but what they did
lake can only mean that they held
TO such theory but lacked the
courage to avow it openly and
fought to deceive the people by the

Lincoln County has two great com
Inissionors, but whether they gain.
ed their greatness BY birth or by

determine; it being a problem that
the people cannot solve, the tax
payers will drop them from public
Office with the dull, hollow plunk

The gentlemen in question pay
themselves 5000 per year for $3.50

the highest bidder. Consistency,
thou art jewel. but it is evident
that two commissioners OF Lincoln
County have dropped their jewel |
and political pledges, both OF which |
rolled down q crack.
Now have these fellows achieved
greatness? What have they done,
except to "renig" on their platform
pledges and pile an unnecessary
burden upon the taxpayers?
