VARYING views ON A LARGE SUBJECT

Il
1t was the other day only that our picturesque
friend Colonel Henry Watterson freed his
mind on the rather large subject of Grover
Cleveland A little while before that "The
Commoner" had contained an article in which
its distinguished editor gave his views on the
same subject with a freedom that kept the
wires at white heat while transmitting Colonel
Bryans words to the four corners of the coun-
try. Now comes the news all the way from
North Carolina that ex-State Senator H. S.
Ward arose in the Democratic State Conyen-
tiOn held on Wednesday last in Charlotte-rose,
too, at o'clock in the mOrning-to record pub
licly his opinion that ''Cleveand is an arch
traitor" You are id liar''-judlciously, We
might almost say loyally-insisted one Boyden,
whose Christian name the dispatches do not
give, but who is said TO be Mayor of Salisbury.
AS against the opinions of two distinguished
military men and one eX-State Senator, there
fore, we have so far only what can scarcely be
considered a convincing argument, or one even
that settles anything. You are id liar" is
forcible no doubt, and is quite likely in North
Carolina at least, to lead to something CORY. AS
an argument however, we repeat, it is weak.
1t is even lacking in morality. There are so
many liars, id and otherwise, and the eXas-
perating fact Is that it doesn't really determine,

of Mayor Boyden really are, or were ut o'clock
In the morning. We can only assume with GER
tainty that in the Mayors opinion Grover Cleve-
land is not an "arch traitor" He may be sew
eral other things equally eminent but he Is not
that. Out of the vast realm of conjecture we
can snatch in the way of elimination only this,
that our distinguished fellow citizen, tempo
rarily residing near Princeton, is not guilty OF
treason. What other things he is innocent OF.
the phrase "YOu are a id liar" however com
prehensve II may be at other times and In
other places, does not define with absolute accu-
racy.
We are not surprised either, to learn from the
latest dispatches that the discussion was still
in progress at $50" In the interest OF Demo
cratic harmony however, and with view to
promoting 1t in every way possible, we hereby
pledge ourselves 10 put our statistical experts
TO work at once tabulating Democratic opinions
on the subject of Grover Cleveland, II is

By comparison of fresh specimens with old

knowledge Such work is of the utmost value
to civilization, and constitutes one Of the prime
reasons for accumulating natural history coll

there is a large attendance, 1T is desirable to
limit the number of visitors by requiring an
admission fee on certain days. In precisely
the same manner the Metropolitan Museum Of

Bridge in giving a trolley company possession
at rental which is the merest fraction OF
what it would cost the company to secure equal
facilities and develop equal earning power III
any other way. When corporations can get
the city to give them bridges, Of course they
will not build for themselves. If they are held
to pay for city bridges a sum equal to interest
and maintenance of private bridges they VIII
be encouraged to do their own building without
using UP the city's limited borrowing power.
When they are willing TO make such payment FOR
the use of structures that cannot be paralleled
we may have some confidence that their plan
is not merely to sponge on the taxpayers.
