Post Qnd).

Mr.. Cleveland consents; to an ex-
tended interview in which he talks
of the Democratic outlook. When
asked the direct question whether if
nominated at St. Louis, he would ac-
cept, he makes an evasive answer by
saying that such a contingency is en-
tirely improbable. This only con-
firms the impression that has been
abroad for some time, viz: That Mr..
Cleveland is a receptive candidate.
When Speaker Cannon was asked to
take the Republican nomination for
Vice President he said no in man
ner that could not be misunderstood.
Mr. Cleveland has given no such cate
gorical answer. though he knows that
powerful Influences are at work in MS
party to bring about his nomination
And there are many men in both par
ties who can see no other way out of
the situation than the denomination OF
Cleveland for a third term, disastrous
as it would admittedly be to the par

The Other Side.

The man who was spoken of in
an article yesterday as trying to get
rid of his mother by sending her TO
the asylum, came in this morning
and stated his side Of the case. He
is able to prove that he has done all
in his power for her. even to renting
home for her and allowing her TO
use his credit at local grocery. She
has threatened the lives of him and
his wife and he believes her nndoubt-
edly out of her right mind The wit
nesses against her on the insanity
charge were among the leading citi-
zens of this community. one OF them
being a prominent minister in this
city The man says he is no longer
able to control her and that he de-
sires her to be taken where they are
prepared to take the proper care OF
her.

BUT WILL STOP OPEN TALK

Discussion Of the Presidents execu-
tive order directing officials Of the Gov
eminent in their utterances to restrain
their predictions either for or against
Russia or Japan, is based on the belief
that its purpose was TO make the Unit
ed States record for neutrality clean.
It is obviously impossible To change
official sentiment or even TO oDliterate
the prejudice against Russia covertly
voiced by various officials of the Gov
eminent. The President, however. pro
poses TO prevent expression of ii in
suCh manner as would be likely 10 find
place IN newspaper columns
the order based upon the theory that
the United States has only CONNER
cial interest IN the war was undOubt-
eddy instgated by the reports from
Russia through United States consular
OncerS and representations made by
Count CaSSlni, the Russian ambassador
here, that American trade is already
beginning TO suffer. because of anti
Russian sentiment in this country.
Possibly the chief offender up 10 date
Is Gen. Joseph Wheeler Although a
retired army officer, drawing the pay Of
a brigadier general. he Is quoted in
public prints as showing in his speech
and writings a strong bias in favor Of
the japanese and against the Russians
Il is thought improbable the Presi-
dent viii follow his order by a repri-
mand 10 General Wheeler. although this
IS possible, should the alleged offenses
