An absurd story comes by wire from
Princeton, \. u, TO the effect that
Grover Cleveland Is to be candidate
in 1900 for third term as President.
Grover Cleveland may try to be can
didate. for there is no limit to his self
esteem. but the absurd part of the
proposition is the assertion that he
will he candidate.
If there were no other objection to
Clev eland, the fact that his candidacy
would have to fight the established
and popular conviction that no man
should be given a third term in the
highest office of this country should be
enough to rule him out of the race. But
the Democrats of this nation, the $500.
900 voters who cast their ballots for
". j. Bryan in 1896, have no desire to
stultify themselves by approving the
nomination of man who made the rec
ord which stands against Grover Cleve-
land.
No greater mistake could be made by
the Democrats than that OF selecting
Cleveland to lead the party. Defeat
would be certain, and the leaders of
this party need not be told this fact. for
they know it already-Chicago Demo

BIG Oil Deal on Foot.

s. G. Rutan of Chicago. representing an
English syndicate, claims that he has OBJ
tanned an option on 100,0OO acres of land
in the Cherokee Nation. in the northern
part of the Indian territory, in the recent
ly discovered oil fields Maj. Graham. an
ex-officer of the British army and an Eng
lish capitalist, is at the head of the syn
dicate. The capitalists back of it include
many of the wealthiest men in England
who have had experience in the European
oil fields. Mr.. Rutan says the present
company. of which he is an official, has
men back of it whose wealth would easily
aggregate S250,OOO.OOO. 1t is independent
of the Standard Oil Company, and ex-
poets to compete with that company not
only in the markets Of America but of Eu-
rope. Tank line steamers of 1000 tons
burden have been built and are in the
hands of the company. They will run
from Port Arthur and other gulf ports to
European countries. 1t is claimed that
the plan is practically certain to go
through and that the steamers will be
running within few months. Seventeen
wells are already in operation and the rigs
for several more will be built as soon as
the syndicate secured control.

hANNA'S VICTORY.

Hanna's victory in the Senate is not
such a triumph as an honorable man
would delight in. He retains his seat.
II ia true, and for Hanna this is per
haps the main thing. hut the verdict in
his favor does not acguit him of the
charge of bribery, and is. in fact, the
Scotch verdict of mot proven
OF course, the Republicans in the
Senate committee stood by Hanna. He
represents the Republican administra
ton, and to him more than to any 9th
er man Mckinley owes his election
But the Democrats, on the committee
were not forced to lay on the white
wash, and they pointed out the fact In
their minority report that Hanna and
those who acted for him at Columbus
disregarded the subpoen6s of the Ohio
committee and declined to appear be-
fore It, The Democrats of the Senate
committee take the ground that there
should be further investigation.
Hanna record is such that the charge
of bribery causes no surprise, and the
burden of proof rests upon hrm. He
plotted to force John Sherman out OF
the Senate. so that, as boss of the Re
publican party, Mark Hanna could Sc
cure the coveted position.
Later he joined the conspiracy to
make Sherman step down and out of
the Cabinet.
Now, as Sherman has always served
his party with absolute fidelity. Hanna
showed treachery to his friend, and it
is not at all improbable that he would
use corrupt means to retain the seat
which he secured SO discreditably.
1t is not probable that Hanna's case
will receive any further Investigation
in the Senate. His Republican fellow
Senators have applied the whitewash
to mis- record. and by SO doing have
ranked themselves with the man who
plotted against his friend, and who re-
fused to testify in his own behalf when
offered the opportunity.

New Product Meets the Test of All
Service Conditions.
The Navy Department is ready to take
whatever steps may be necessary in car
rying out the provisions Of the naval bill
for the purchase of smokeless powder dur
ing the coming year. 1t is not intended
to antagonize the commercial interests in
volved in this line of manufacture by
throwing the whole burden of production
upon the Government plants. The Gov
ernment has a plant at Indian Head
which. when completed, will turn out a
maximum amount of about 5000 pounds a
day. But this will in no way compete
with the private manufacturers. The
navy now has powder known TO the pro
fession as pyrocellulose, which is equa! to-
If not better than. the smokelcss product
used by foreign powers. The new pow
der. which has been tested by the navy
under service conditions, has been so nice
ly adjusted to their requirements that it
has increased their efficiency an average
of 800 second feet.

INDIANS IN A TEMPER.

Fear of an Outbreak on Leech Lake
Reservation.
Michael Gogins, a well-known and con
servative pine cruiser, says the Leech
Lake, Mimi, Indians are in a dirty tenn
per and ready for any sort Of deviltry.
They have been holding councils two or
three times a week and the proceedings
are kept very quiet. The Indians griev-
ance is based on fear that after pros
pective pine sales are over they will still
be in debt, something that has been known
to happen before. Gogins says the In
dians could muster in case of trouble fully
1.2O0 fighting men, nearly all armed. The
Government has lately ordered the two
companies of the Seventh infantry away
from Fort Smelling. and the State now
has no available military force except
newly organized militia.

Rexenue Deficit.


Representative Cannon. Chairman
of the House Committee on Appropria-
tions, says there will be a deficit of
$50, ,OOO.OOO at the end of the present
| fiscal year.
This is comment on Republican
legislation which will cause good deal
of serious consideration by the people.
How is this deficit to be metz Will
the vast riches of the trusts be taxed ?
VIII the men who have incomes rang
ing from 5000 to So, 100000 a year be
required to bear their share of the bur-
den?
Under Republican rule these ques-
tions can all be answered i'm the mega
tive. Trusts are protected. The in
comes of rich men are held sacred and
taxes will be the men who will have to
pay them.
What does the 500. 600. 900 steel trust
pay in the way of national taxes? Moth
ing. But every poor woman who buys

The New York Journal pictures the
condition of affairs most truthfully
and most wildly as follows: IF any
more taxes are to be imposed they will
be levied, not on the men with the
millions. but on the men that do not
have $1T9 apiece. The values of fran
chises. the profits of corporations. the
stealings of trusts will remain untOuch-
ed. while every rag worn by the shiv-
ering child of n day laborer out Of work
