 This has given his present estimati1 1n in the land. It is an enviahle one. But is the logic of it that he shall be made President again?

The Boston Herald Declares For
 Grover Cleveland,

The Herald. the local mugwump organ which has been booming Richard Olney for the Presidency, is out with a long editorial on the candidacy of former President Cleveland, declaring it to be extraordinary. and calling him the per- soniticatOn of all that Is needed in the office It says in part;
 The proposition of Grover Cleveland as a candidate for the Presidency after he has been three times a nominee for that office. twice elected to it. and eight years In retirement, Is something so eX- traordinary as to call for explanation. If there be any serious and widespread de- sire that he shall take the office again and We think there is-it is tribute to the man in recognition of his ability and fidelity in the position such as could have possibly been accorded to few of his pre- decessOrs in the Presidency.
 The sober second thought has "atisfed the people that Cleveland was one of the best of the republics Presidents His own dignitied and self-respecting tone in retirement has commanded their admira- tion; his words of wisdom as he mas oc- casionally addressed them have won from tbem the conviction that he is an unusu- ally sagacious and safe public man.
 The Democrats have been chastened and sobered by the result of their wild chase after the possession of power in the country under the leadership of a man altogether his antipode, and through the adv0cacy of measures directly the reverse of Alose he has counseled The Republicans have been led to reflect that t was to CleVeland's conservatism that they owed the genuine service done to the country in the repeal of a mistaken cur reney fav 6urtng his administration They

Washington. May 7.-(Special. )-The hundred Washington correspondents who were the guests of the St. Louis exposi- ton management at the opening of the great show in celebration of the centen- nfal of the Louisiana Purchase have re- turned to their accustomed news dig /gings.
 They are glad they went. They were most generously entertained from the time they left the national capital last Tues day morning until their return on the following Monday. They were impressed by all they saw that the projectors of the exposition had laid broad and substantial foundations for a grand worlds show. a display of the worlds products up to date with the worlds progress.
 The common verdict of the newspaper men was that the military and other pa geantry was the finest ever seen outside of Washington, while the celebration by dedlcation was handsomely commensurate with the great event of the acquisition of the Louisiana Purchase territory.
 These and many other things did not tail to impress and please the newspaper contingent with their especially honored there was something else that appealed to their trained senses. It was something more than that striking spectacle of the President of the United States and the only living former President speaking from the same platform It was also something more than that both the dis tinguished gentlemen performed fitly for the occasion. It was even something more than the conceded fact that the former chief magistrate of the republic was accorded a more prolonged and en- thousiastic reception than the multitude present rendered to present chief execu- tive Of the nation.

MORE VICIOUS LEGISLATION

1 About six years ago the New York 1 eg- islature passed law making it d mis- dt tmeanor for any person or 1,p1rdtlon vi o, contracting with the Sta.e or d mu- nicipal corporation, shall require more | than eight hours work for days labor. The Supreme Court of the State has, by recent decision, very properly declared this law invalid and unconstitutional Dut the advocates of paternalism have anoth- CT string to their bow. At the last ses- sion of the Legislature a joint resolution was adopted proposing an amenlment to the State Constitution which provides that the Legislature may regulate and fix salaries and wages. the hours of work or labor, and make provision for the pro- lection. welfare and safety of persons employed by the State or by any County, city, town. village or other civil division of the State. or by any contractor or sub contractor performing work, labor or ser vices for the State or for any County, city, town, village or other civil division thereof
 II this amendment is adopted and laws enforcing it are enacted, it will virtuduv take from contractors and employers all right to enter into any agreement with their employees as to the number of hours that men may work. No matter what may be the eXigency, or how willing the men may be to work extra hours for extra pay, the contractors and the workmer will not be allowed to enter into any agreement outside the hours fixed hv law. That law may declare that eight or six hours shall be a days work, and that takes away any and all right of choice or agreement.
 This proposed amendment is not to be voted on till 1905, so there is ample time for the friends of personal and indiyid- ual liberty to defeat it. Nothing but po- litical cowardice on the part of the two great parties will permit such a vicious measure to be engrafted on the State Constitution. It seeks 10 take from both employers and employees all right or power to make contracts which would be mutually agreeable and beneficial. There are times. as every employer or contrac- tor knows. when great loss might be avoided by having extra work done.

COMES OUT FOR CLEVELAND.
The Cincinnati Enquirer Declares fol
 Him.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
 It is needless to say that The Enquirer has never been partisan CT special ad- NOcate of Grover Cleveland. It disagreed with him when in office as to some Qucs- liens or policy, and did not always admit the wisdom of his action in particular cases. Such differences in the past. how ever, do not prevent our recognizing his great qualities and his approved capa city for leadership, He alone since The civil war with the intrenched and cons Dl!lated power of the Republican Party, the whole army of otficeholders and the unfalling support of the capitalistic forces of the country against us, has led the Democ- racy to victory. and he has done it twice. The question Is coming to be asked pret- ty generally. If not by tne politicians. among the rank and file, lis there any other nan in sight IS able as he to do it again, and is there any other man discussed to whom at the present june Sule of affairs the party standard can be- committed. and. in case of success, the affairs O. the country be intrusted with more confidence and security than to him?' II. determining such a question, involving the success or defeat of d great cause. and !he rehabilitation ?nd restoration to power of a party founded on principles vital to the best interests of the country, all past disagreements and minor differences should be sunk personal consideration lost sight of and the WiseSt councils sought and followed The South will be for the ticket and with New York New Jersey. Connecticut and Indiana and one more electoral vote for us We win. Who is the best man to carry those States? UnqueStiOnahly in all of them there is a very large independ- ent element and a growing number of dissatisfied Republicans who do not like RCGseve!ts tariff attitude or approve of his spectacular assaults on property in terests for political capital, who wou q vote fer Cleveland; enough to turn the scale. He evidently has the confidence sight. We have earnestly opposed him in the. past, but in politics it is the pres ent and future that count. If the Demo- cratic Party is to survive it must begin to win Presidential elections. Would it be better to win with Cleveland or lose with some hgurehead whom Colonel Bry- an may set up? What say the rock-rib- bed Democracy of the Middle West? If the East, where the real battle ground will be, demand him for the leader, shall we fall in line?
