DEM0CRACY'S PLIGHT.
IT Is Discussed ExtendedIy by
Grover Cleveland.

Philadelphia, Dec. 20-F'ormer Presi-
dent Grover Cleveland contributes to
this weeks issue Of the Saturday Even
ing Post, Of Philadelphia. an extended
article on the plight of the Democracy
and the remedy. Mr.. Cleveland begins
by reviewing the history of the party
and he discussed its defeat since 1864 in
detail In taking up the question Of the
present conditions of the Democracy he
saws that the success Of the party in
1892 was SO decisive and overwhelming
that a long continuance Of its supremacy
was anticipated Then came the ''fallacy
Of free silver and Populism-"
Mr. Cleveland proceeds as follows:
copyright 1900. by Curtis Publishing Col
THE elimination Of Democratic woe
was reached when its compact with
these undemocratic forces was complete,
and when our rank and HE were sun
moned to do battle under banners whlcn
bore strange symbols and which were
held aIoft in unfamiliar hands. The re-
suit of such a betrayal was foredoomed.
This abandonment OF the principles OF
true Democracy, this confempLuous DIS
obedience OF its traditions. and this de-
Ifberate violation Of the law Of its
strength and vigor. were by a decree as
fnexorable as those of fate, followed BY
the inevitable punishment OF stunning
staggering defeat
THE disaster of 1872 was quickly fol-
lowed by a return to the professions and
practices Of sane Democracy But the
extent and persistence Of our wander
ings in 1896 is illustrated in a most as
founding way by the command, issued
On the day Of our rout and discOmei-
ture that a second battle should De

false war cries and the same leadership
that had brought Us to the surrounding
gloom Of defeat
Again he says
Thus in 1900 the lesson Of 1895 was
cor semptuously rejected. and every hope
Of Tan ocratIc success was Nufully cast
aside Again our long suffering rank
and file whose loyalty and obedience de-
served better things were sacrificed IN q
cause theirs only III name and again it
was demonstrated but more clearly than
before that the only forces that can wiz
Democratic success are adherence to
recognized Democratic principles and
reliance on Democratic councils and
leadership
why should we not return to these

were ours in the DAYS Of courageous adj
vocacy Of our time h0nOred faith Are
our principles so shop worn or antigua

BURIED TREASURE FOUND.
100000 In Stolen Money Said to
Have Been Discovered.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Monterey, Mex, May 20-The 100000
which was stolen by Cashier John B.
Koetting from the South Side Savings
Bank of Milwaukee in 1898, causing the
failure of that institution, and which the
defaulting official brought to Monterey
and buried, has been found by a sheep
herder. In the spring of 1898 four banks
in Milwaukee failed, among them the
South Side Savings Bank, the only insti-
tuition of its kind in that part of the city.
After the failure Koetdng disappeared.
short time later the state bank exam
inatio of the books showed that the cash
ier's accounts We're falsified and that ne
was a defaulter to the extent of 100000.
He fled to Topo Chico Springs Mexico,
but later returned to Milwaukee, was tried
and sentenced to a term in the peniten-
tiary. At his trial Koetting testified that
he had lost the money in bad investments.
Stockholders in the bank after the exam
nation of the books by experts refused
to believe this. as it was proved to their
satisfaction, that the money was taken
In a lump sum only few days before
Koetting's flight. Detectives went to
Mexico to see If the money had been de-
posted there, but found no trace of it,
A few weeks ago a poor sheep herder
came into a little store at Topo Chico and
changed an American f1ve-dollar bill He
might have got it from one of the guest Is
of the hotel, so no questions were asked
and he obtained the change. The next
week he went into the same store and
presented an American one-hundred dol
lar treasury note, and asked to have
change given to him in Mexican money
making some small purchases.
The police were notified and the man
was watched. Next week the man became
holder. He confessed that he found the
money accidentally while herding his
sheep in the hills back of Topo Chico, but
he absolutely refuses TO give any further
information. The man was taken to the
penitentiary to-day.
There is no doubt in the minds of the
authorities that the money IL part of
Koetting's treasure, which he undoubteIl-
~ buried while here hoping to have il as
working capital with which to begin life
anew on the expiration of his penitentiary
sentence.
