MT. Cleveland,s Triumph.

Cncdgo Tribune.
 Six years ago Grover Cleveland saw his party desert him and the Dem ocratic lriLciples he upheld. He became Pres ldent without party For time no Re- publican was so disliked or revied py Democrats as was Grover Clevelani If is l personal triumph for him to sec the ptrty abandoning the search of new and Raudy issues and the interpretation of strange visions" and silently admitting that 1t was wrong and he was right in 1896 and 1900.
 All Americans who admire man who will defy party clamor sacrifice his pop ularity, and condemn himself to political exile, sooner than be false to his convic- tions, will be pleased to see Mir. Cleve- land trusted counselor of regenerGted Democrary Its return to sanity and it's acceptance of advice from the man read out Of the party in 1896 will be a useful les son for timid statesmen who are too apt to shape their course in accordance with the bad political maxim, My party, right or wrong"
 It must have given Mir. Cleveland much pleasure to address again sympathetic Democratic audience and to receive ap- plause in d quarter where it has long been denied him. Perhaps only one thing was lacking to make his pleasure complete-the presence of William J . Bryan. That gentleman should have been there to hear MT Cleveland ask if the party could not be delivered from a body or death and relieved from the bur uSh Nol iSoueS NllCn fIldNe DCeI Killed by the decrees of the American people" and to hear the audience applaud the speaker.
 MT. Cleveland clothes his advice to the party, which is beginning again to listen to him, In ponderous sentences and long words, but it is good advice. It is in substance that the Democrats shall be for revenue reform and against trusts. for equal taxation. and against govern mental extravaganza. On these issues the Democrats may or may not win, but they are the only issues on which they can Earmonlze.

QUEER 1goDEsTY.

The Butte CMons) Inter Mountain notes with some surprise that the city's cratic and erotic genius, Mary Maclane, is much talked of everywhere except in her home town. The paper further says:
 The young lady seems to be neglected only in Butte, though she has giveS evidences not only of a rare and original style of writing, but, if reports are true, of a conversational talent and power Of repartee that are surprising ir the ex- treme. There is no doubt that Miss Mac Lane has mental possibilities which should be encouraged.
 We quite agree with The Inter Noun tain as to the rare and original style of writing possessed" by Mary, for no one who has read her effusions can doubt that her style is decidedly original Whether her mental possibilities should be encouraged is quite another thing We should say not, If the encouragement will tend to increase her capacity to say such things as have been attributed to her. And when The Inter Mountain speaks of her as "a modest little girl" it rather caps the climax, and causes the reader to wonder where the paper obtains its standard of modesty. Those who have read extracts from her book certainly find nothing in them to indicate that maidenly modesty which is the erowning jewel of a young girls charac- ter. She may have done herself injustice, but if she has been harshly judged, she has no one but herself to thank for il.

WHOLESALE INDIcTMrNTs

The city of Minneapolis now has on tar an official scandal of proportions which completely lay in the shade almost any thing we have seen mention of in any other city of the Union. Up to date the following members of the city govern ment have been indicted for the crimes specified: Mayor Ames, offering a bribe: Superintendent of Police Ames. and De- tectives Howard. Morrisssy and Norbert. asking and receiving bribes; Police Can tain King, grand larceny and accessory to felony. To these may be added Special Officer Gardner. who mas already been convicted of receiving a bribe, and Can tain Harvey, whose indictment for Der jury and bribery is assured In addition to these. The Minneapolis Journal de- elares that two other police captains and three or four detectives are likely to be indicted before all is done.
 There are but two sides to this condi. ton of affairs. Either there is a discred- itable amount of dirty politics causing all these indictments or else the city of Min neapolis has the most complete assert ment of official scoundrels of any city on record. It is not at all probable that the former is the case, for it is hardly possible that grand jury could be so completely controlled by politics as to practically indict all the officials of a city on such' grave charges. In fact, it is hard to avoid the conclusion that the Mayor and various others connected with the city government are guilty of offences which will be likely to send them all to the penitentiary, where they should be if the charges are true.

Senator Morgan and the Canal.

Washington Times.
 Another step and an important one, has been taken toward the building of an nounced in favor of it's construction. The bill just passed by that body does not ab- solutely specify particular route; if sat isfactory arrangements cannot be made as to one, the President is empowered to conduct and conclude negotiations in an. other direction. Probably it will be the Panama route; perchance it may be the Nicaragua line; at all events, we shall have canal.
 The question is again In the hands of tha House of Representatives. To the originator of the bill for which the Sen- ate bill is a substitute the relegation of the Nicaraguan route to second place may be sore disappointment, but we would commend to MT. Hepburn the ex- ample of Senator Morgan, who for twen- ty years, in season and out of season. has fought sturdily for the same object. His pet scheme was defeated. but, though he battled for it to the very last, he yielded most gracefully to the inevit- able, and was the very first to ask for an imm ediate conference with the House. in order that no time might be lost to carry the project to the earliest possible consummation.
 All honor to Senator Morgan Whether an isthmian canal be built by the way of Nicaragua or Panama, his name will be indissolubly connected with the work fo:. all time. He has earned the title of father of the canal" It is his life work. To the task of arousing public sentiment to the great importance of the work he devoted all his conspicuous tal- ents, and in the action of the Congress of the United States he finds his reward May he live to see the canal completed, and be in sufficient vgor to be present at it's opening.

Hill and that he wishes all of his old political associates to give MT. Hill every aid in oyerturning the present Republi- can edministratton in New York.
 Tfts information which The World has obtained from inside sources, indicates that the bridging over of past differences by Mir. Cleveland and MT. Hill is sin cere, and that their appearance at the Tllden Club harmony feast was not a mere formality.
 Both leaders are anxious to get the Democracy back on winning basis. and both are confident that the task can bt accomplished
 Ex-Governor Hill returned to Albany yesterday after having spent three days in consultation with his friends here. Be fore he left Mir. Hill was assured of the heartiest cooperation of the old-time Cleveland faction.
 He was also assured that Mir. Cleveland himself. convinced that Hills plans for the party have been drawn on right lines, will make every effort personally to as- sist in bringing order out of the chaos which has existed for half dozen years.
 The importance of Mir. Cleveland's atti- tude and that of the former President s friends is not underestimated by the All bany leader. The Hill men realize that New York results turn on the attitude of the large independent element which always has supported Mir. Cleveland and his plans.
 The presence of the former President at the TildeR Club gathering and his an- nounced determination to cooperate in the efforts for Democratic success have given great encouragement to the man.

Satisfaction in Washington.

From Washington to Chicago Chronicle.
 Democratic members of Congress gen orally are pleased with last nights great harmony meeting in New York. at which foi mer President Cleveland and former Ser ator David B. Hill spoke from the same platform. They regard it as the beginning of a national movement to re- store Democracy to it's ancient moorings and to unite all the forces which in the past have contributed to the success and glory of the party.
 The speeches of the former President and former Senator from New York are regarded as specific appeals to Democrats to get together and forget the events of the last eight years which have been pro- ductive of so much discord.

A shaft raised in his honor is a shaft raised to industry. faithfulness and in- tegrity Every people puts its fighting men on pedestals. Monuments to the worlds conquerors arc scattered all over the face of the earth. But the qualities which Mir. Bland embodied are at the foundation of the greatness and strength of nations. Richard Parks Bland set a better example before the young men of his country than have many politicians and statesmen of more showy personali- ties and greater abilities.

RICHARD P. RLANn

In Lebanon, Mo, there was erected a few days ago monument to the memory of Richard P, Bland. one of the most persistent, insistent and determined of all the advocates of silver coinage. The Kansas City Journal, which is as bitterly opposed to Blands Democracy as it was to his financial views. says of him that "during his more than quarter of q century of public service he was not ac- cEsed, even by his radical opponents. of being inspired by unworthy motives" and adds this tribute to his character:
 Because MT. Bland was this kind of man. the ceremonies today at Lebanon, his former home, where monument is to be unveiled to his memory. will be of more than State interest. Those who be- lieve that his persistent advocacy of the EAs and unlimited coinage of silver was
