CURRENT COMMENT.

The Springfield (Mass.) Republican
Qnd.( says: "Mr. Cleveland's letter
viii have an immediate effect in turn
ing the thoughts of all Democrats to
candidates who are really available,
and this must be considered advan-
tageous to the party. The indications
are, perhaps, that Mr.. Clevelands New
York friends will make Judge Parker
their next choice. But it is by no
means certain that his candidacy,
which has been somewhat moribund
for the past six months, can be sue
cessfully revived"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem }
says; '"rhe Massachusetts, Supreme
Court has decided that it is not un-
lawful for man to sell his vote, and,
therefore, it is not libelous to accuse a
man of doing so: but it is violation
of law for man to buy a vote. There
is a good deal to recommend this view
1t is the man who sells his vote who
gets most of the denunciation, and at
whom most legislation against politi-
cal corruption is aimed. But it is the
man who buys votes who tempts the
other to sell, and he is in most cases
a man of means and property and
standing in the community, and is in
fnitely more cu1pable than the vote
seller. The vote buyer is the promoter
of corruption and the man whose pun
ishment is essential to good govern
ment."
The New York Post Qnd.) says: Mr..
Cleveland has chosen the better part.
In taking himself definitely out of the
list of presidential possibilities, he re-
nounces no honor which he has not
already had in full measure. but con-
firms himself in the admiration of his
countrymen, while insuring an old age
enriched by dignified leisure and troops
Of loving friends. instead of being en-
Filtered by strife and trouble. Golden
wrote. apropos of Lord Palmerston,
that all men of the age of 72 with un-
satisfied ambitions are desperadoes
The saying is true of some men at
other ages-say As. But Mr.. Cleveland
has shown that his ambitions are sat
isfied. Not even the extraordinary
turning to him at this time of the
hearts and hopes of thousands among
the best in the land can move him
again to risk health and happiness in
political turmoil. The third-term ira
dition he does not mention, but un-
doubtedly respects, though in strict
form 1t would not be operative against
him. Old enmities would be. how
ever, though he could doubtless have
ridden them down. as so many times
before. But. as we say, his decision
is wise one. The viltfications of a
few years ago have given place to
praise: his party is returning to his
feet: his counsels are sought with all
OF the old confidence. What better
ornament of his declining years could
he hope TO have?"

Prof. Thomas c. Menhall of the Wor-
cester Polytechnic Institute, while
travelling through Ohio several years
ago, called at the district school which,
as a boy, he had. attended, says the
Boston Post.
They asked him at the school to
make a few remarks. He assented,
and began to talk to the children in
a direct fashion, trying to interest
them from the start

Not the Renl Thing.

Congressman Slemp of Virginia told
a story the other day which he says is
an illustration of the retort courteous
in Virginia campaign, says the New
York Times.
According to Mr.. Slemp there were
two Spellbinders in a backwoods dis
trict named Patrick Cauley and "Old
Man" Adams. They were engaged in
joint debate and Cauley, a hot-headed
Irishman, had spoken pretty plainly
his opinion of his opponent and the
Democratic party, to which Adams be-
longed.
When. Adams rose to reply. he said,
slowly:
THE honorable gentleman's speech
reminds me of a story about a farmer
friend of mine back in the woods. 1t
was in the days when there was a
brand of meat known as Cincinnati
bacon because it was made in that
city. The makers used to press all the
| grease out of this bacon and then soak
| it in water, so that its appearance was
not changed,
This friend of mine bought a wagon
| load of 1t, and few days later a neigh
| Dor asked him how he liked it.
"'Well,' said the old man, it looks
all right, and it weighs all right, but
when you come right down and try
| 1t out by frying there is more fuss and
| sputter and sizzle and less grease than
any doggoned bacon l ever SEEM"

A Legend of Harvest.

From the Youths Companion.
In ancient Israel, so say the 'seers,
Two brothers lived in peace-as
brothers should,
And titled that ground wherein in
after years
King Solomon's illustrious temple
stood.
A common heritage, each gave the
His honest share of toll. and took
therefrom
An equal portion of the. summers
yield,
Nor grudged his part-nor held in
doubt the sum.
But on the night the harvesting was
done,
And all the corn lay heaped beneath
the skies,
The elder kinsman sat in thought
alone
And gently reasoned with himself this
wise:
MY brother is not strong, and suffered
sore
Beneath the heat and burden of the
day,
Lo. will take some sheaves from out
Unknown, and add to his across the
way"
And, reasoning thus, he did; then found
sweet sleep.
Not so, howe'er, the younger of the
twain,
Who lay awake and said. How can
keep
My great, full half of all this golden
grain,
/, who am still but one, whilst he
must feed
His wife and little children from his
share!"
So that same night, to meet a greater
need.
He, too. in secret did what he deemed
fair.
Now, when at break of day both cheer.
lily
Came forth to work-with greeting,
name for name
Each scarce concealed his wonderment
to see
His separate stack of sheaves was
still the same!
And when, next night, and next, in
love, anew
These Jewish kinsrnen gave by stealth
But all in vain-behold the riddle grew
Exceeding strange and caused them
much unrest;
Until at last it's secret was revealed
To both at once. (blest be the Hand
that weaves
Such threads of chance,) for half across
their field
They met one night--each bent with
heavy sheaves! ..-..
All. kfnsmen true, no offering later laid
By Solomon upon the costliest shrine
Of this immortal ground, was better
made
Than yours, nor gave to heaven a
holier sign!

TROOPS FOR THE IsTHMUs.

1t is stated that the general staff of
the army is preparing to send troops
to the Isthmus of Panama in the event
they should be needed there. There is
not much probability they will be
needed, Notwithstanding Gen. Reyes
assertion that Colombia is getting ready
to march a great army to Panama to
force the new republic back into the
Colombian union.
1t is evident that the United States
do not intend there shall be war be-
tween Colombia and Panama They
did not permit Colombia to send troops
to the isthmus by way of the sea, and
they will not permit her to march an
army there overland. If they protected
Panama from attacks by way of the
sea there isn't any reason why they
shouldn't protect her against attacks
by way of the land. There isn't any
difference in principle. 1t can be safe
~ stated, therefore. that the United
States will not permit Panama to be
forced back under the authority of
Colombia.
ton. 1t is nonsense, therefore, for
him to insist that Colombia will send
a great army to Panama to assert her
rights there, unless some agreement
respecting the canal concessions that
is satisfactory to her Is reached. He
knows that Colombia is helpless.
Perhaps the purpose OF his talk is to
create a public sentiment in this coun-
try that will operate to prevent the
ratification of the treaty with Panama
when that instrument comes before the
Senate. While it is true that many
of the senators do not approve the
methods that have been adopted for
getting the concessions needed by the
United States for the construction of
an isthmian canal, the desire for the
completion of the canal is so great that
1t is probable that about all OF the SEN
ators will vote to ratify the treaty
while condemning the President for the
methods employed for obtaining the
necessary canal concessions,
The best thing Colombia can do is
to admit that she made mistake in
rejecting the Hay-Herran treaty and
to say no more about the matter. There
is no probability that she will get as
sistance from a European government
Germany and France have already rec
ognized the republic of Panama, and
there is no good reason for doubling
that the other Powers of Europe will
soon do so.

CLEVELAND CHANGED MURPHY'S
PLANS.

The opinion prevails in New York
that Mr.. .CleveIand's letter stating that
under no circumstances would he be
the nominee of his party for President,
changed the plans of Mr. Murphy, the
Tammany leader. 1t had been said
frequently that Mr.. Murphy had de-
cided to use all of his influence to give
the New York delegation to the Demo-
cratic National Convention to Mr..
Cleveland, and it is probable that this
statement was true. Now that Mr..
Cleveland is no longer in the list of
those eligible for the nomination, Mr..
Murphy is trying to decide whether to
throw Tammany's strength to Judge
Gray of Delaware, to Senator German
of Maryland. or to Judge Parker of his
own state.
Judge Gray is d personal friend, and
he is, besides. popular with the labor
element throughout the country. Sena-
tor German is admitted to be the alb
lest politician there is in the party, and,
at the same time, a statesman of such
ability as to give him place in the
very front rank of the partys great
men. He has practically the entire
South behind him. and that fact has
a great deal of weight with the North
ern party managers. Judge Parker has
this advantage. namely, that it is be-
lieved he would have the best chance
of carrying New York. Ex-senator
Hill would give him a helping hand
and the entire Democratic party of
the state would be united in support
ing him. Mr.. Murphy therefore finds
1t difficult to make up his mind as to
which of these three men he will throw
the support of Tammany.
1t is said that he is to have a. con-
ference with the agents of Senator Cor
man within day or two, and that Ex-
Senator Hill has made overtures to
him, presumably in the interest of
Judge Parker. OF course there is
plenty of time In which to come to a
decision. AS a matter of fact much
depends upon Mr.. Murphy's decision.
1t is admitted that the Democrats
cannot hope to win the election with
out New York. II New York goes
Democratic New York city will have to
furnish the majority. The carrying of
New York therefore depends upon Tam
many, in other words upon Mr.. Muir
ply. 1t is not to be wondered at there
fore that Democratic leaders are anx-
ious to know Mr.. Murphy's decision,
and that those seeking the presidential
nomination are seeking his favor. He
is one of the great factors in the politi-
cal situation, and the manner in which
he handled his forces in the recent
municipal campaign in New York city
entities him to that position.

BIacI1burn's Grievance.

Senator Blackburn of Kentucky. who
talks exceedingly well, both publicly
and privately, was discussing the rela-
tive merits of great military COM
manders. and declared that though
Washington was, all in all, the most
admirable character in history, he was
not a great general, says the Satur-
day Evening Post.
Senator Daniel of Virginia, Black
burns closest friend, was doing upon
a sofa in the cloakroom, and l called
his attention to what Blackburn had
said about our first President.

him? ?" exclaimed the Kentucky Senator

ADDED n Half Inch tSsHis stature.

A physician of experience in exam
lining candidates foE civil service places
tells of one man who came up year
after year and was always found one
half inch below the required height,
says the Boston Herald. One day the
doctor, who had come to know the
fellow by sight, found him measuring
up to the full standard. He could
hardly believe his eyes.
Don't l know your" he inquired.
Have not you been here repeatedly
before?"

And been rejected?" t.. ".
Yes, sir" :.

We'll, how does it happen that you
are tall enough now?"
The candidate, with creditable cand-
or, explained that he had learned that
a mans stature was longest after he
had lain abed good while and got
stretched out, as 1t were. So, when
this examination was approaching, he
had gone to bed and stayed there for
four days in succession, then risen and
hurried, in fifteen minutes, to the ex-
animation room, where, by shrewd tim
ing, he got in ahead of a lot of other
candidates, and was measured before
his frame had settled down again OF
it's own weight.
As restrictions are not made for trif-
ling fractions, and this candidate had
not only shown resourceful ingenuity,
but had told the truth about IT, he
was passed,

THE PosroFFICE FRAUDS.

In the memorandum of the postoffice
frauds, which he gave to the public
yesterday the President says that "a
melancholy feature of the case is that
with one exception all the offenders
have been for a number of years in
the government service" An interest
ing question is, did the President make
that statement for the purpose of Great
ing the impression that none of the
offenders were appointees of his, and
that soon after he became President
the wrong doing was discovered and
steps taken to bring the offenders to
justice, or did he make It simply be-
cause the facts permitted him to do
so? 1t is worthy of notice that the
dates of the appointments of all of the
principal offenders are given. That
would seem to bear out the impression
that in giving the public a statement
of these postoffices frauds the Presi-
dent was anxious to have IL understood
that his administration is in no wise
responsible for them.
The President realizes of course that
these frauds will play an important
part in the presidential campaign, and
as it is likely that he will be the
standard bearer of his party. 1t looks
as if he had seized upon the oppor-
tunity which presented itself to for
stall any attacks that may be made
upon him, his administration or his
party on account of them.
1t doubtless is true that the Pres
ident had no knowledge of the frauds
before they were brought officially to
his attention, but it doesn't follow on
that account that his party isn't re-
sponsible for them. The people will
hold it responsible. 1t has been in
power more than forty years, with
the exception of two terms, and dur
ing these terms, owing to civil service
rules, comparatively few Republicans
were turned out Of office. The Repub-
licans therefore have begun to think
they own the government, and that
they can do about as they please with
the public funds.
There is no doubt that this point viii
be impressed strongly upon the pub
lie during the campaign, and the ques-
ton will be asked II it isn't about
time another party were given control
of the government, so that the Of
fees could be thoroughly investigated.
More investigation is needed than has
yet been made. The public will not
believe that all the corruption has
been discovered by the little probing
that has been done i'll the Postoffice
Department. Perhaps the President
thinks the public will accept what has
been done in the way of uncovering
wrong doing as a complete cleansing of
the departments of corrupt practices
of all sorts. If that is his view he
will find he is mistaken. What has
been discovered will be accepted as
evidence of the need of a very thor
ough investigation of all the de-
partments of the government, and for
"a change in the political complexion of
the administration so that such an in
vestigation will be made.

In the Cathedral of Metz. Germany,
there was unveiled recently a statue
of the Prophet Daniel The people were
at once struck with the military bear
ing of the figure, and with the up
turned points Of the moustache. The
face seemed very familiar. Closer ex-
animation forced the conclusion on be-
holders that the features were those of
the Emperor. The newspapers of the
Socialists took the matter up and print
ed cuts of the statue. and enterprising
publishers printed postal cards showing
the statue from a photograph. The
postal cards have been suppressed by
the authorities and numerous suits for
'1ese majestic" have been instituted
against the newspapers. The sculptor
says the figure, indeed, is that of the
Emperor, but it has been the custom
to compliment German Emperors in
this manner.
