NOT CLEVELAND.

Former President Cleveland
leaves his ducks long enough to
offer some advice concerning the
rehabilitation of the Democratic
party, and there is some talk of
making him the standard bearer
of the party i'll 1904.
Perhaps there is no one cause
more responsible for the present
bad plight Of the Democracy than
is party-wrecker Cleveland him.
self, and it strikes us as the
height of impudence for this cold
blooded migrate to lift up his
voice in the counsels of the party
which he has betrayed. One
word from Cleveland would have
elected the Hon. w. J. Bryan
president in 1900, but that word
was not spoken but rather by
Cleveland's silence negative sup
port was given to the opposition.

ports which come from Indiana of
the shameful abuse of blacks by
whites in various parts of that
state. There are two famous
health resorts in Orange county
and negroes have been employed
as walters at the hotels. Within
a few days they have been treat
ed with death if they attempt to
stay; Adams county is in the
northeastern part of the state and
some blacks recently came to De-
catur, its chief town, mainly as
domestic servants, but they we're
soon driven out by a white mob,
which forced their employers to
promise that they wonld never
again hire a negro for any pur-
pose. All this, however, is
north of Mason's and Dixon's line,
and consequently very, very few
northern papers have the courage
or honesty of the Post in bring
ing it to public notice.

Put your boy to wotk if he is not
at school. If there is nothing else
to do, put him to whitewashing
the back fence. Keep the lawn
moved, and even cut the winter
supply of wood. Anything is bet
ter for him than loafng about
town at the head of cigarette
stump, learning all the evil and
contracting all the vices the devil
keeps af1oat to catch idlers. No
honest labor will hurt your boy,
but the evil habits he may con
tract on the streets may kill his
soul and poison his moral nature
as to make him a detriment to
the community in which he lives
and bow down his gray haired par
ents with sorrow. If the fathers

believes that the former president
really desired the success of the
Republicans for no other reason
than that he could boast that he
is the only Democrat who could
be elected president. The over
shadowing question of Constltu-
tional government versus imperial
ism was involved IN the last
presidential election, yet this false
apostle of Thomas Jefferson and
the principles Of the declaration
of independence about whom and
which he PIRATES SO glibly, deliber-
ately delivered the country, bag
and baggage, to the imperialist,
and thus fastened upon it this
terrible Philippine question. If
the Hon. w. J. Bryan had been
elected there would have been no
Philippine problem. Cleveland
knew perfectly we'll that if Mr..
Bryan had been elected no free
silver law would have been sent
to him for approval.
The writer has several times
remarked in previous communi-
cations that where the interest of
the north and of the south conflict
the south never secures what it
desires from the general govern
ment. However as respects Cleve-
land as presidential candidate
the south is in position to scotch
the north should the Democrats
of that section attempt to foist the
party-wrecker again upon the
party. The solid south with the
assistance Of a few western states,
can prevent Cleveland's nomina-
ton or compass his defeat at the
polls. There is not shadow of
a doubt this section stands ready
to avail itself of it's power in
III either of these contingencies
just as it did wnen Horace Greeley
was forced upon 1t as the Demo-
cratic candidate for president. A
number of southern states Virgin
ia among them went Republican,
and rock-ribbed Democratic Geor-
gia gave Greeley only eight thou
sand majority over General Grant.
What the south desires is bona
fde Democratic candidate for
president, and if it cannot obtain
that it will permit the north to
elect the other kind if it can.

There is not an authenticated case
of snake bite cured by whiskey.
Plenty of individuals bitten while
under the influence of liquor
have died, and large amounts of
alcohol have failed to save life in
many cases. Only about one in
six of those bitten by venomous
snakes dies. The remaining five
are cured by anything they hap
pen to have taken. Stimulation
is excellent, but the giving of
whiskey to drunkenness by lower
ing the resistive vitality has I'M
doubtedly been a causeative fac
tor in many deaths supposedly
from snake bite that would other

KILLED 81 PERSONS.

Not since the days of Lucretia
Borgia and other subtle prisoners
of the Middle Ages has there
been one known to equal Jane
Toppan, who was locked no last
week in the Taunton Insane Asy-
lum, in Massachusetts, for poison
ing Mrs, Mapy D. Gibbs at Catau-
met last August. By her own con-
fession this nurse has killed 81
sick persons who have been
under her care in the last ten
years. Some she murdered with
morphine and atropinae and
others with poisons which she
does not remember. When not
gratifying her passion by killing
people she set fire to the houses
where she was a guest or employ
ed in a professional capacity.
Miss Toppan told the alienist
that she knew that sho was too
dangerous woman to be at liber-
ty and was glad that the authori-
ties had placed her where she
could not crafty her desire for
killing and burning. She said
the mania which caused her take
life had been growing Oh her since
she was child, but that she had
reached womanhood before she
killed any one.
