ton act to issue bonds to secure gold TO
maintain the specie reserve and to enable
the government to pay current expenses.
Instead of offering those bonds to the high

dictate on Wall street. at a price which so
advanced in a few weeks that the syndicate
made so, 10000 or more from the trans
action. Arrangements were made to sell
the same syndicate the next issue. but the
protest of the press was so general and
loud that the bonds were put upon the

Pacific railroads for one-third their total.
Congress interposed before the transaction
was closed, and less than two years later
President Mckinley sold the entire claim
at nearly par. with interest. saving many
millions Of dollars to the treasury.
No fair-minded man will maintain that
Mr.. Cleveland proposed to permit the gov
eminent to be defrauded, but. unfortu-

men in whom he had confidence. but who

ALTERATION OF MIR. CLEVELAND.

The Journal has several times called atten-
ton to the alteration which limited num-
Der Of Democrats of Mugwump predilec-
Cleveland. II these people had no news
papers their fad might be passed by in
silence, but some of them, .having news
papers. are repeating the explosives which
they address TO the ex-President day after
day with seemingly increasing feelings Of
alteration. "Mr. Cleveland would be an
ideal candidate" foudly declares the Bos-
ton Herald: and then II goes on to tell who
would be sure to vote for him. All but
machine Republicans and a limited number
of Bryan Democrats and no-account Popu-
lists are. the Herald thinks, longing impa-
tientiy for the privilege of voting for Mr..
Cleveland In November, 1904. Nothing is
said about the political principles of Mr.
Cleveland. SO 1t cannot be his tariff reform
or free-trade principles that call forth the
admiration Of these best and wisest men OF
the Nation. No; 1t is the personality Of
Mr.. Cleveland which has captured them.
And yet. when these ELUSIVE worshipers
are asked to specify the special acts of the
only living ex-President which make him
greater and better than all other Amer
leans. they feel insulted because. they tell
us. to question his superiority is to offer
him the most effective insult.
Now. as to Mr.. Cleveland: The American
people are toleraoly well acquainted with
him. Most Republicans who consider and
compare the characters of great Americans
gladly admit that he Is man of absolute
integrity and of high courage. He would
not cheat the government or permit others
TO do II IL he could be made to believe that
they so intended. Nevertheless. 1t is a fact
that. with all his integrity and courage.
wall-street influences were never so poten-
tial in the White House as when Mr. Cleve-
land was President. Consider three things
which Mr.. Cleveland permitted to be done

IN CONTEMPT OF COURT
C. HI. VENNER GIVEN A STIFF SEN
TENCE AT SPRINGFIELD.
The Same Man Who Tried to Stop the
Formation of the Steel Trust-He
Is an Active Lftfgant.

SPRINGFIELD, H., May 15.-Judge
Humphrey, in the United States Circuit
Court, this afternoon adjudged Clarence
H. Venner. Of Boston, guilty Of contempt
Of court and fined him 900 and costs. and
in addition ordered him committed to the
Sangamon county Jail for a term of six
months. The court denied Venner's appli-
cation for an appeal to the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals and also refused
to admit him to bail, or to stay the execu-
ton. Venner was allowed to spend the
night at the Leland Hotel in custody of an
officer and he will decide tomorrow what
course he will take.
Venner is president of the New England
Waterworks Company. Of the Boston
Waterworks Company and Of the Alton
Waterworks Company. and is a member of
the banking firm of Venner & Co., of Bos-
ton. The action in which the order of Judge
Humphrey was entered this afternoon was
that of the Farmers Loan and Trust Com
pany. of New York, against the New Eng
land Waterworks Company. the Boston
Waterworks Company and the Alton
Waterworks Company to foreclose mort
gage trust deed for 100000 given by the
Alton Waterworks Company to the Farm
ers' Loan and Trust Company.
Judge Humphrey entered an order last
April commanding Venner to produce the
books and other papers Of the waterworks
companies before Walter Mcclellan Allen.
master in chancery Of the Federal Court
In this district, In Boston, on April Is, IA
and Is. Master in Chancery Allen went to
Boston for the purpose of taking testimony
In the case, but Venner refused to produce
the books as ordered by the court. When
the case came up for hearing before the
master, In Springfield, yesterday, venner
made his appearance and William BURY
Cation. counsel for the Farmers Loan
and Trust Company, asked that he be at
tached for contempt of court.
Venner Is the man who tried to enjoin
the Pullman Palace Car Company from
purchasing the Wagner Car Company and
the latter from selling; who tried a year
ago in the New Jersey Court of Chancery
to prevent the United States Steel Com
pany exchanging 500, 100000 of preferred
stock for per cent. bonds: who tried the
same tactics In the United States Circuit
Court in New York: who tried in the Mas
sachusetts Circuit Court, two years ago,
to wind up the affairs Of the Amalgamated
Copper Company.
All OF these cases were thrown out of
court. He now has a suit pending in the
United States Court in Chicago to prevent
the consolidation Of the Rock Island and
St. Louis & San Francisco Railroads. He
has been severely reprimanded by several
courts.
