closed shop program Of organized labor.
He said that during the last year there
have been hundreds Of strikes or labor

country is a national disaster. Organized

CLEVELAND SAYS "NO."

Term Is Una1terab1e.
Grover Cleveland has declared that
under no circumstances would he accept
the nomination to be President Of the

declaration is made in a letter to ST.
Clair McKelway, editor of the Brooklyn
Eagle.
Grover Cleyeland's letter is as fol-
lows:
Princeton. N. il have wanted for a
long time to say something which | think
should be said to you before others.
You can never know how grateful l am
fo- the manifestation of kindly feeling to-
W. I'd me on the part Of my countrymen,
which your initiative has brought out. Your
advocacy in the Eagle OF my nomination for
the Presidency came to me as great sur
prise and 1t has been seconded In such man
ner by Democratic sentiment that conflict
ing thoughts of gratitude and duty have
caused me to hesitate as to the time and
manner Of a declaration on my part con-
corning the subject, If such q declaration
should seem necessary or proper
In the midst of it all and in full view Of
every consideration presented, l have not
for moment been able, nor am / now
able, to open my mind to the thought that
alton | should ever again become the nomi-
nee of my party for the Presidency.
My determination not to do so Is unal-
tcrable and conclusive.
This you, at least, ought to know from
me, and / should be glad If the Eagle were
made the medium of its conveyance to the
public. GROVER CLEVELAND.

While there is no disposition to pass a
bill raising the salaries Of Congressman,
it is growing more apparent each year
that the existing stipend is wholly made
quate, and that few men without pri-
vate fortunes will consent to remain in
public life With every Congress not a
few useful men quietly drop out on this
account. A New England representative
used to say facetiously that there were
two classes Of men, speaking from the
financial point Of view, who should come
to Congress-those who were so rich that
no amount Of appeal for money could
affect them adversely, and those so poor
that the worst hanger-on would not
waste his time in hunting them up. AS
this member said he belonged to neither
class, Congress was no place for him.
There was time twenty years or more
ago when by common consent this was
not the case. A Congressman could
live in reasonable comfort on his salary.
But standards Of entertainment are con
stantly rising here, as elsewhere, and few
men can afford to wholly omit social OBJ
legations.
