WILL SPEAK FOR HIMSELF.

The Wall Street Journal is not ex-
actly 4 trustworthy exponent of poIiti-
cal opinion. I'm the days when 1t erfti-
cised tile administration fearlessly and
frankly for it's policy, its utterances
were received with sneer. Anything
that came out of Wall street was not
to be accepted. There the money devil
is supposed to reign supreme, and only
such edicts as bore his mark Of ap-
prevail could see the light.
The Wall Street Jourpal has expert
enced. for some reason, a, change Of
heart. It has been doing very earnest,
if not very effective, campaign work
for President Roosevelt for some time
past, and it is now gleefu1ly quoted as
high authority by the very men who
dismissed it a short time ago as un-
worthy of either reading or notice. It's
latest performance certainly justif1es
this estimate. It announces that Mr..
Cleveland is unaIterably determined to
refuse nomination for the presidency
if it should be offered to him, and that
he is known to prefer the election of
President Roosevelt unless a Democrat
can be chosen who would meet with
Mr.. Cleyeland's own approval.
AS to the first part Of this report
we have no knowledge whatever. Mr..
Cleveland has certainly declined NOM
nation in terms ais emphatic as the cir
cumstances made necessary or proper.
1t is quite within the bounds of proba-
bility that his determination is final,
and that no pressure and no considera-
ton could induce him to yield to his
party's demand if it should be made.
As to this T h e Clio b knows MOTH
ing whatever. The second assertion of
the Wall Street Journal, however, we
can publicly and knowingly brand as
an unqualified lie.
Mr.. Cleveland is not that kind of
from the same provecation on his side
that has made others voluble of wrongs
on theirs, he has steadily abstained
from recrimination, and no man was
ever more loyal in urging the claims of
Democracy upon the people. The re-
ports which we have quoted seem to
have their origin in the same source
that is trying to force an unpalatab1e
and impossible candidate upon the De-
moeracy. The Republicans, having
their hands freed by the death Of Sen
ator Hanna and the consequent col
lapse Of opposition to Roosevelt, are
bending their entire energy to the d.
rection Of Democratic policies. The
columns CT Republican newspapers are
full of reports manufactured by spe-
eiaI correspondents to make people be-
lieve that certain candidate is high
In Democratic favor, and in the same
way such reports as we have referred
to are circulated eagerly by Republic
ans with the hope of stirring up and in
creasing Democratic dissension. He
who puts any faith in such canards as
that for which the Wall Street Journal
and it's copyists are responsible is nei-
ther a>good Democrat nor man of
common sense.

A Public Nuisance.

San Domingo can't revolutionize
without shooting and killing people and
destroy ing property and upsetting
trade, and generally raising Cain. So
San Domingo has become an intoler-
able nuisance, and as San Domingo is
in this nations bailiwick, it seems to
be the dutyisof the United States to
abate the nuisance. There are num-
Der Of indications that the United
States has made up it's, mind to do it's
duty and that the reign of anarchy in
San Domingo is about over. It's high
time.-Rochester Democrat and Chron-

Porto Rico.

In demanding either the immediate
admission Of Porto Rico as state or
else independence the legislature of
that island has made a grave mistake.
Neither branch Of the alternative Is at
all practicable atlfpresent, and will not
be considered by congress. The de-
n1and now made shows that the people
are unreasonable and do not appreciate
what has been done for them or the
opportunities. for progress under the
territorial government they now have.
