Gold Standard Martyr.

The Washington Post says that if
there be one man who more than any
other citizen of the United States
should be exempt from ridicule or any
other than respectful treatment at the
hands of the Republican press, it is
Grover Cleveland" The Post ex-
plains: "When the time comes for
history to give fair record of the
memorable conflict that was waged
and won between 1873 and 1897, the
names of two champions of the cause
of sound money will stand side by side.
leading all the pest-John Sherman,
the hero of resumption, and Grover
Cleveland, the gold standard martyr"
The Post is eminently correct in stat.
ing that the Republican editors or Re.
publican politicians are under deep
obligations to Grover Cleveland; and
yet when the time comes for the Posts
history to be written, the historian
will find it bit difficult to explain
how it happened that the gold stand.
ard martyr accepted on three occasions
the nomination for the Presidency at
the hands OF party that never claimed
to be a single gold standard party.

hills. "And what's more, don't ex-

"There, there, Jupie," said Juno, in
her most soothing tone, "don't get

vexed you'd feel about it."
"Well, they will soon find out!
Haven't they plant somewhere, or

"There it is," said the statuesque
one, as she pointed to lower terrace.
Jupiter grimly smiled.

preme Court decision in this case," he
remarked, as he stepped to the nearest
cupboard and drew out what looked to
be half-dozen metallic skyrockets.
At sight OF them Juno gave a little
scream and put her hands over her
ears. A moment later Jupiter stood
by the open window and drew back
his massive arm. There was a blind
ing flash and a startling report, and
the nectar plant on the terrace below
trembled to its base. Thunderbolt
followed thunderbolt, and when the
sixth was thrown there wasn't a YES

"There," said Jupiter, as he wiped
his hands on his napkin and calmly
resumed his seat at the table,

THE work OF restoration Of South
Africa from the ravages of war goes
ON with gratifying promptitude. Up
to this time over 5000 Boer families

While many are dissatisfied over the
