she now occupies IN yachting.

Stevens has offered the house to the club. and

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
r. Walker on Grover Cleveland.

Grover Cleveland has again vehemently OPP
posed the expansion or imperalistic idea.
His declaration probably called forth the fol-
lowing declaration from the pen OF DR., Delos
Walker, OF Oklahoma City. He whites:
"Givo the Devil his due" originated in kind
ness, was prompted by spirit of fair play.
and is evidence of weakness sufficient to keep
the hero human. "Give the Devil his due''
comes to the front Just now as applicable to
Grover Cleveland-~not that his reputation de-
mands it, or that he is in need of sympathy,
for he was always less than devil, and is fairly
we'll satisfied with himself, and is satisfactory
to many intelligent admirers. He has been
scolded as a demon and praised rs an angel.
These appropriate and extreme views were
taken when he wrote his immortal tariff mes
sage toward the close of his first term. Half
nation sent up a cheer of admiration when he
marched into the Republican camp and cham
ploned their policies on bonds and silver, while
his old friends, who had voted him into office,
and who were elated at his tariff views, made
the AIR vocal with livid denuncations. All
brave mel, all patriots, all "who cross the
Mississippi oftener than they do the Atiantic";
all who have no wish for Tory policies in a re-
public, were wild with enthusiasm when Cleve-
land said to England that she must arbitrate
the Venezuelan trouble. And the cruel, the
cowardly and the unmerciful found fault with
MS holding up England in her maraud on re-
public. England had taken counsel of her
military power, her monster navy and her con-
eueEing prestige, and decided that she had
nothing to arhitrate. Cleveands throwing
down the gauntlet to Great Britain astonished
the world. The huge war powers stood in
open eyed wonder. They stared across the seas
as giants in a trance. They said, "How can
this thing be with army in sight2" How
ever, England reflected that we had record
for standing by the right; that we were capa-
PIE people; that we had no outlying possessions,
no entanglng alliances to put us out on the

DeWey'S Cousin a Socialist.

SPOKANE, WASH, Oct. 16.--A. M. Dewey,
cousin of the admiral, and special agent OF
the United States department of labor, who is
here investigating the Couer d. Alene labor
troubles, addressed an audience of union work
ing men, yesterday. He said:
'I declare myself Socialist. believe i'll
national paternalisn-in governmental owner
ship of all industries, ,The competitive sys-
tem Of SaNqf is to-day the curse OF the tolle1s.
Yhere IS no hope for the betterment of the evil
conditions which now exist as result OF the
antagonism OF capital and labor save III the es-
tablshment Of the Socialist form OF govern
mept,"
Speaking of the couer d Aene riots, Mr.,
Dewey said; 81, who am one Of you, say to
you that labor organizations cannot afford to

ragged edge of apprehension which begets
cowardly diplomacy and criminal inaction
They noticed that we were a race of giants,
with a clean record that we had no plans for
plunder OF our own to keep us mum; that we
had not murdered or oppressed the weak of the
earth that we had shot no Sepoys from the
muzzes of our guns; that we had not murdered
the wounded after a battle of Obdurman-
wounded in honorable battle in defense of home:
that, in word, we had not been practicinp
those brutal butcheries and robbr crimes which
would force us into craven acquiescence in
these butcheries and robberies when committed
by England. 1t was observed, too, that not
only was it this kind of people whom Cleve-
land served, but that Cleveland himself had
reputation for having a backbone They took
note, also, of the brief message which observed
that England would do well to conclude there
was something to arbitrate. 1t was a small
message, but it had no bombastic stump speech
i'll its bowels; it admitted of no parleying, of
no long-drawn diplomacy They said, "That's
dangerous message by stubborn executive of
an heroic, free people, and, upon reflection it
is our opinion that we have something to arbi-
trate." That arbitration is just concluded 1t
stands to the honor of Grover Cleveland and
the glory of our country.
The brave, the true, the liberty-loving among
all peoples rejoice when the courage which
comes of righteousness hats armed assasina-
ton in quest of spoils. When the prey sought
by the bloody monster is weak and helpless,
the greater the glory and honor of him who
comes to the rescue tGive the Devil his
due" DELOs WALKER.

The Republicans whom Stanley appointed
