CLEVELAND LECTURES.
Addresses Princeton University Stu
dents on independence of
the Executive

Princeton, April 10-Ex-P President
Cleveland delivered before q large au-
dience in University hall last evening
the first of his two addresses in the new
leetureship founded by Stafford Little,
Esq. He announced as his theme 1.-The
Independence of the Executive saying
that he proposed to comment upon the
office of president of the United States
and upon some incidents of a public ma
ture made familiar to him by the in
cumbency of that office.
Mr.. Cleveland began by speaking of
the indictment presented by the original
13 colonies against the oppressive exer-
else of executive power by the king of
Great Britain. The colonists dreaded
repetition of these abuses through the
powers that might devolve upon an
American president. Thus the articles
of confederation provided for no exec
utive head, but in the constitutional
convention, ten years later, it was con-
ceded that if the experiment of popular
government were to be successful, an
executive branch invested with power
and responsibility, must be one of its
essential factors.
In the scheme of our national gov
ernInenI, as then established, Nthe presi-
dent is pre-eminently the peoples Of
flee. The laws passed by congress are
inert and vain without executive inn
pulse; and the federal courts pass upon
the right of the citizen only when their
| aid is occasionally invoked; but under
| the constitutional mandate that the
pISSlQGuL SIidll TAKE care that llC 4dWS
be faithfully executed" every citizen is
constantly within the protection and re-
straint of the executive power. Further
more, it is only in the selection of the
president that the body of the American
| people can by any possibility act to-
| gether and directly in the equipment of
| their national government. To the wis
| dom of the men who composed the con-
| vention we are indebted for the creation
| of an executive department, limited
against any possible danger of usurpa-
| ton or tyranny, but, at the same time,
strong and independent within it's limi-
| tatiOnS.
Mr.. Cleveland then reviewed the de-
| bate in the first session of congress in
1883 over the power of the president un-
der the constitution to remove an Off
Ger appointed by him by and with the
| advice of the senate. The outcome OF
this debate was a legislative construc-
tion of the constitution to the effect
that the president had the power of re-
moval without the participation of in
reference of the senate. Mr.. Cleveland
closed by sayiny:
"Pastisanship often hampers the besi
aspirations and purposes of public life
but hope [ have reached a condition
when I can recall such adverse parts
anship as may have entered into pas
conflicts and perplexities without mis-
leading irritation or prejudice especial
| " on such an occasion as this"

CONTRACTS WITHOUT BIDS
Attorney General Griggs Meets With
Severe Criticism.

Washington, April 1O-A storm of crit
icism is directed against Attorney Cen
era1 Griggs because he awarded con-
tracts for the new department of justice
building in this city and the new peni-
tentiary at Atlanta without competition.
Certain contractors in New York, Phil
adelphia, Baltimore. Chicago, Boston
and Cleveland were invited to submit
bids. The number of firms thus invited
was limited to ten. Local firms were
entirely ignored. In the case of the new
penitentiary at Atlanta only six firms
were requested to submit proposals for
the work.
The point is not raised that the attor-
ney general violated the law, except in
spirit, as the private requests extended
to the various firms for proposals might
be construed to constitute an advertise
ment.
Mr.. Griggs gives no explanation of his
action beyond the fact that plans and
time was pressing, as it is desired to ask
congress for an additional appropriation
at this session.

BY HIS OWN HAND.
John E. York Commits Suicide
in North Topeka.

John E. York, an old soldier residing
at Oil North Quincy street, committed
suicide Monday by taking a large dose
of opium. He took the drug during the
afternoon and died a few hours later
He was a great sufferer from lumbago
and rheumatism, and it is presumed
that this fact was responsible for his
act.
Mr.. York made his home with his
daughter, Mrs. w. c. Little. Mr.. and
Mrs. Little left home Monday afternoon
and drove out to their farm south of
the city. When they returned home,
three hours later, they found Mr. York
in an unconscious condition. They also
found a letter stating what he had
done, and also stating that he thought
himself justified in doing it.
DR.. p. J. Mulvane was summoned,
but the opiate had already so over
come Mr.. York that it was impossible
to revive him.
Mr. York was So years old and a
veteran Of the civil war. He was shot
through the lower part of his spine,
and this caused paralysis of the legs.
The paralysis, rheumatism and lumbago
together caused him great suffering
He leaves two daughters. Mrs. Little
and Mrs. Joseph Cromwell.
The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock
"Wednesday morning from his late resi-
dence, and interment will be made in
Rochester cemetery.

TWO ON RECORD.
Candidates Stafford and Mckee
YER Promise Not to Vote
For Baker.

There was an interesting political
meeting Monday evening at the Wash
ington street church in which two can
didates for the legislature were placed
on record on the senatorial question.
They are E. D. AcKeever, candidate for
the Republican nomination in the Thir-
ty-ninth district and H. c. Stafford, can
didate in the Thirty-eighth district.
Both said in reply to question by A.
K. Rodgers, one of the Burton workers,
that they would never vote for the re-
election of Senator Baker.
The occasion was a meeting of the
cOlored Fifth ward club. Dennis Hope
was chairman of the meeting. Harry
Stafford led off with a rousing address
in which he severely castigated Senator
Baker. He made no reference whatever
to J. Z. Burton.
Mr.. Stafford was followed by Mr. Nc
Keever who declared that he wanted to
make the race on his record and en-
phasized the fact that he has been a
friend Of the cOlored people.
j. z. Larimer presented the name of
A. K. Wilson as an opponent of Mr. Nc
Keever and said that he was not pledged
to any one.
A. X. Rodgers was the next speaker
and he was especially severe on Senator
Baker. He said: ANY man from Shaw
nee county who would vote for Senator
Baker is a traitor to the Republican
party and worse than a Democrat 1t
WdO OllIN d lew years ago lIicl MI
Baker was a Democrat and supporting
the Democratic party. The question to
ask candidates is whether they will sup
port Mr.. Baker or not. I am for Ed
McKeever, Harry Stafford and A. L.
/ Brooke and ask each of those men to-
night whether they will support Mr.
/ Baker"
! He then asked Mr.. McKeever and Mr.
! Stafford in turn whether they would vote
for Mr.. Baker and both replied that
they would not. Mr.. Brooke was moi
| present.
A. Newman was the next speaker. He
| said that he was for Mr.. Wilson because
he did not believe in keeping a man il
| a position for ever. He said that he
! worked hard for Curtis and was Cur
! tbs man and that it did not follow be.
cause a man is for Curtis that he should
| be against Baker.
Dave Mulvane. who was the mex
speaker, said: You all known who
am for for United States senator and
am for Harry Stafford, Ed NIcKeeevel
and a L. Brooke for Representatives
While I don't say that all the peopl,
who are supporting Mr. Wilson are 70
Mr. Baker or that all those supporting
Mr.. Dodge are for Mr.. Baker yet all tn
Baker people are supporting them anC
you can draw your own conclusion
from this"
John Dudley was present but did no
talk.
The club then went into executive ses
sion and disposed of the refreshments S
| but failed to endorse any one.

Dallas, Tex. April 1O.-The flood sit

the rivers appear to be at a stand, but
more rises and rain are feared, as the
weather is cloudy and generally threat

TODAY'S MARKET REPORT.

Chicago, April 1O.-WHEAT-Specul
tors in wheat were in a predicament to-
day similar to a man in dark and
strange house-afraid to move in any di-
rection out of fear of knocking some
thing over. Many of the gentlemen who
deal in wheat, naturally unfamiliar with
the government crop report due this af-
ternoon, concluded to move no more than
necessary till the report had shed its light
and in consequence the pit was dull when
the session got under way. There was
sufficient encouragement in the firm ca
bles to cause strength early, May opening
&c over yesterday at 67Q1s to 6I1sc. May
advanced to 671sNAc, reacted to 66ssc and
then recovered to 671sd14c- English crop
the Michigan condition was put at 81 per
cent Local receipts were Y cars, none
of contract grade. Minneapolis and Du-
luth reported 3SS cars against 529 last
week and 1S5 a year ago.
The market continued narrow to the
end. May touched 67asc, helped by corn
and Bradstreet's reduction in the world 5
visible and closed firm, May A4ssc up
at 6714c. An impression that the gov
ernment figures might be more bullish
than previously expected had some cur
rency during the afternoon and heiped
the tone. The corn market closed strong,

AN AWFUL MISTAKE"
Sentiment Regarding Sheldon
Experiment at New York
NJ. E. Conference.

New York, April 1O.-The New York
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church today, after lively discussion,
voted by a large majority to strike out
of the report of the committee on peri
Odicals derogatory references to the
Rev. Mr.. Sheldon's recent essay of
journalism and to the Rev. A, S. Mac
Arthur's work as religious editor of one
of the local papers.
Rev. James NJ. King, delegate elect
to the general conference, speaking to
the motion regarding Mr.. Sheldon, said:
1T is an awful mistake for any man
to edit a daily paper, or any other
paper, assuming to know what Jesus
Christ would do. I think it is nothing
less than my-unintentional
blasphemy, maybe, but blasphemy, all
the same I. for one, protest against
that style of Christian work.

ROB A JOINT.
Arkansas City Barkeeper Locked in
His Ice Chest and Money Taken.

Arkansas City, April 1O.-There was a
hold-up out at the road house joint Sun
day night. 1t seems that late in the
evening three men rode up to the build
ing on horses and after dismounting
went inside where they proceeded to re-
fresh themselves. They called for three
bottles which were set before them and
disposed of. Then one of them said he
guessed he would have another and the
bartender went to the ice box to get it
for him. AS soon as he had reached in
for the bottle, one of the men gave him
a push which sent him inside. The door
was shut and the robbers proceeded to
get what they wanted They got about
$50 which was in the money drawer and
also several bottles of dTinlxables. After
they finished they rode south. Some
time later the bartender was liberated
by another customer who happened in.
