GROVER CLEVELAND THE MAN.
His Name Suggested as the One nOst
Suitable to Represent the United
States on the Occasion of King Ed
wards Coronation.
w Ashington Post.

W Ashington Post.
Since it appears to be the Presi-
dents purpose to send some special
and particular person to London to
represent the United States on the
occasion Of Edward Wis coronation,
it occurs to US to indulge in specula-
tion as to the proper choice in such
case.
Several names have been mentioned
so far, but none of them has quite
filled the measure of the situation as
we appraise it. Our idea is that,
shonld the President finally decide to
send an envoy of the character men
homeland we know of no reason TO
the contrary-the individual should
be in the highest possible sense a
representative of the American people
their character, their aspirations,
and their tendencies. We're the
lamentcd Benjamin Harrison alive
today, he would be obviously the man
for the occasion. He was a soldier,
statesman, patriot, beyond criti-
cism. No fine thought or noble pur-
pose, nationally speaking, could have
found more fslicitious and COM
plete exponent. His love of country
was a passion. His serene devotion
was poem. He stood for everything
potent. unselfish, enlightened, and
humane. But he is dead-peace to
his splendid ashes!-and none re-
mains, as we see the matter, save his
49,; ,jno ,,I
Grover Cleveland.
Unless it be proposed to make OF
this mission to England mere
private favor, the President is bound
| to select some one who stands for the
| nations character and attitude. We
| live under popular form Of govern
| ment. The man who receives the SUI
! frages and the Endorsement of 80. OOO,
! 900 of people is far more representa-
live Of his country than tho man who
receives the indulgence Of any indi-
vidual, no matter how lofty his posi-
ton. Mr.. Cleveland has twice been
chosen as their ruler by the people.
Nobody appointed him; he was not
the product of one mans gracious
dispensation, or of the solicitious and
organized activities of any clique,
cabal or combination. Nearly six
millions Of American citizens chose
him AS their Chief Magistrate. He
has behind him the only force worthy
| Of consideration under our form Of
government-the force of popular re-
spect and confidence. No one thus
far mentioned in the connection COM
pares with him in the matter of sig
niticance. He is not protege. He
is not an accident. There is nothing
fortuitious in his eminence. For
eight years he presided over the des-
TIMES Of the American Union-and
presided with honor and renown-
not by any msretricious concert OF
events, but because the people called
him and believed in him, and because
he spoke and acted for them with a
high intelligence and courage.
| II this thing is to be junket, a
celebration of some wealthy and high
ly favored nonentity, that is Mr..
Roosevelt's affair. If it is to be an
expression Of the nations attitude
and sentiment and recent history
that is the country's affair, and
Grover Cleveland is the best possible
material for the oc casion.

STRENGTH OF THE STATE.

Why should we not realize that the
strength of the State is the average
of the intelligence and virtue of her
citizens9 Why should we insist, anv
part Of us. that education is injurious
and lag behind because the negro has
not proven himself to be what the
optimist expected? find in the State
men who think that the negro has
gone backward rather than forward
and that education is injurious. to
him. Have these men forgotten that
the negro was we'll educated before
the war? Do they not recall that he
was trained in those things essential
for his life work? He has been less
educated since then than before. 1t
is true he has been sent to school, but
his contact with the old planter and
with the accomplished and elegant
wife of that planter has been broken.
This contact was in itself a better
education than he can receive from
the public schools; but shall we for
this reason say that he is incapable Of
training? Ought we not on the con-
trary to study the conditions and
realize that the training which he
needs has not been given to him since
the war in the manner that it was
beforeo

MEN LEAVING AT CHEYENNE
Constant Movement of Shop Forces Problem
for Unisn Pacific.
ATTENTION cENTERs ON, THAT POM
FOrty-Eight shOpmen Leave i'm Two
Days and Omcials Endeavor
40 Cheek the strong
Tide.

Cheyenne is making q strong bid against
Omaha for the center Of the stage Of Union
Pacific strike activities. The attention Of
the strikers here and elsewhere, as we'll as
that of the officials Of the company, has
been focused on the Wyoming metropolis
during the last few days. The unusual pro-
ceedings consist largely in the movement
of men to and from the shops. The COM
pany has been engaged In an effort to keeT
the shops sufhciently manned, while the
strikers have lost no time or spared nc
pains in onsetting these endeavors.
The result Of this somewhat exciting con-
test is, according to strikers reports, that
the shop force at Cheyenne has been &c
materially reduced as TO give most serious
annoyance to the company. II is said that
Thursday ~twenty-seven %nonunion men left
the shops and Friday t~wenty-one, a total Of
forty-eight In two days, which is a large
number to be subtracted from al already
incomplete force.
Superintendent MeKeen has bsen spend
ing much OF his time ths week at Ckey-
enne. where he Is especially popular with
the men with whom he Was SO long asso-
eiated during his iDcumo9ney Of the once
Of division superintendent there. But Il
is said that his efforts TO stay the tide Oi
nonunon migration from: the Ohops have
been successfully resisted by his old men

pected hat he also will spend some time II

Reports from North Platte say that thu
task Of keeping men in the shop. is becom.
ing mere arduous each day. Nonunion EN-,
ployes are said to be leaving as a result
Of the eompany's action in requiring then
to pay their board. Three nonunion men ar
rived N Omaha YESTERDAY from North Platte
