One Kind of leoscy.

Welthy men sometimes play grim
jokes on those who are friendly to
themfor the money there is in it. A
few ears ago rich man of Ohio died
and eft a mysterious iron chest in the
careof his estate. By the terms of
the will it was not to be opened for
twogears- Then its contents were to
be lstributed to those of his friends
he lad not remembered in his will.
Al one he had remembered in his
vii was not to share in the contents
of lie chest.
Nhen the estate was settled it
seaed to many to be less valuable
thi they had calculated. BY the time
th'two years had passed many who
ha pretended to be friends to the
welthy man were sure that the chest
cotained something extremely valu-
abe and tlat they were to share in

Parker W. Cleveland.

Cleveland's second administration was
disastrous TO the prosperity Of the coun-
try: nevertheless, history will give much
credit to Cleveland because of his oh
stinate defense of the gold standard
against the assaults of his own party in
Congress, and because OF his Venezuela
message.
But while Cleveland was doing his
best TO preserve the gold standard. Park
er was voting for free silver. And when
Cleveland wrote his Venezuela messa ge
did he have the moral support OF the
candidate who In his recent speech of
acceptance condemned ns eNtravngnnt
and unjustifei the Republican policy OF
getting the nation In readiness for war?
Had it not been for this very policy
as pursued 10y preceding Republican ad-
ministratons. President Clevelnnd's fam
Gus Venezuela message would have been
an empty bluff"

Makina the PeopIe Paw.

One of New York's tailors, famous
now for score of years, made a for
tune by his claim to being the most
expensive man in the business. He
always managed to charge more than
any OF his rivals and was proud of
that distinction. which he never failed
to impress on his customers, who pre-
sumably were Indifferent to expense.
Now new hotel is going to struggle
for the same sort of reputation.

10 to 15 per cent mote than the other

TarEnrt and Illinois.

AS between the Democratic National
Committee Chairman Thomas Tagsart
and the Democratic leaders OF Illinois,
the situation is. to put it mildly, more
than melancholy.
Chairman Tasgart came to Chicago
and went away again leaving behind him
trail OF blasted hopes. The Illinois
Democrats expected to get some money
from the Democratic party, atfluent for
the first time in many years. because the
trusts are with the Democracy. But
Chairman Taggart has no money to give
to Illinois. Whatever else may be said
Of Chairman Taggart-who is a fine fell
low-it has never been said of him that
he was a fool. lie knows better than
to waste money on Illinois in this cam
paign, and has practically, so expressed
himself.
This makes one sympathize and regre,
somewhat the condition OF the Democra-
tic leaders in Illinois, but exaits ones

sense.

SOMETHING eRoTEsQUE.
HilI's Impudent Attack Upon Presi.
dent Roosevelt.


In letter to Ferdinand Ziegel, Presi-
dent of the Commercial Travellers
League. David Bennett bal assaults the
President in language which, to say the
least. is impertinent from the point of
view OF gentlemen. He accuses the Pres
ident of ''hra= and buster" and refers
to the "disnitied and conservative gem
tleman the Democrats have nominated"
This comes well from the New York
Democrat. generally admitted to be the
foxiest politician and the one most lack
ing in broad craftsmanship in the Uni
ted States. There is a certain breezi-
ness and impudence exhibited when he
compares his own creature and appointee
to the bench with a man Ike Theodore
Roosevelt, which commands attention,
il, at the same time, the very opposite
of respect. This one thing may be. at
least, said OF David Bennett Hill, who
is now the entire Democratic party in
the United States and whose creature is
the party's candidate, that he has ever
the brazenness of his non-convictions.
lie has a certain clever wordiness too
But facts are facts. and facts are
stubborn things. David Bennett Hill is
practically directing the course of the
Democratic party. His own henchman.
