IS NOT A CANDIDATE.


 The Spnrtanburg, (S. CD Herald is ont of the newspapers which declines to ad. init the impossibility of Clevcland's nom ination, and reasons 1t out in this way: It doesn't make any difference whether Mir. Cleveland has anything to say about this talk of him for the Presidency or not and 1t doesn't make any difference how often or how strongly he declares he is not candidate and will not ac- cept, there are those in the four corners Of this country and in all the other cpl . l ners as we'll as in the centre Of 1t wno will continue to declare that he Is the ono man that stands head and shoulders above all others mentioned as the fttest | is not a candidate Were he a candidate, | he would not be the right man. Tie country Is looking now for man who | IS not candidate.
 The Advertiser has never doubted Mi. Cleveiand's absolute sincerity when he declares that he doesn't desire the noin- ination. His entire history would give the lie to any charge of hypocrisy "r double-dealing on his part. What he means he says. and he says what he means. and all who know him, or have any knowledge of his methods and char acter never doubt his sincerity. He has many reasons for prefcrring private nio, and there are many and good reasons why he should shrink from the responsi- bilfties and cares of the Presidency. He feels that he has had all the honors thai he could expect from the office, and that he has earned the rest which he Is ca- toying.
 But all know that, just as MT. Cleve- land has never hesltated to express his sentiments frankly. 50 he has never shrunk from any duty. When tho delegates meet at St. Louis, coa- sult with each other and can vass the claims and availability of the candidates they may decide that Mi. |. Cleveland is not the man. They may agree that Olney or Parker or some otii- CT sound Democrat Is the strongest man to nominate. and if they do they should select him, and we doubt if any one VIII more readily acquiesce in that selection than will MT. Cleveland himself.
 And we agree with The Herald that one strong point in MT, Clevelands favor Is the fact that he is not a candidate. What the Democratic Party should do iS to firmly refuse to consider the claims of any man who is trying to secure tae nomination by any and all means within human power. That is the kind of can- didate to DC ignored, and we have pto- found conviction that such a man will cut poor figure when the convention meets. That is not the sort of man tl.s country or the party is looking for.

SENATOR BLACKBURN
Net in Line With the Kentucky
 Machine.

Machine.
 Washington Special to Cincinnati Ell
 qui-er.x
 Senator Joseph c. s. Blackburn has ar- rived from Kentucky. He believes that he has jared the machine of his party Tn shat State. The fight on his part IS not to allow the control of the State Con- vention to fall absolutely into the hands of Governor Beckham and his followei S and he believes he has been reasonably successful.
 The fight in Kentucky has branchcd out beyond State lines and is being watched by the Democratic national lead CTS. Several of them were closeted with the Senator today, among them Senat Jr German of Maryland, who represents a wing of the party exactly opposite from that element which is represented by the Beckham machine, which is believed se- crttly to be working for the candidacy of William R. Hearst Senator Black burn said:
 "The National Convention fight, while 1t is not the main issue of the effort to control the State Convention, yet fs- ures In the struggle. I cannot exactly i say that my opponents are booming Mir Hearst, but many people think so. Personally. 1t Is we'll known that I am not in favor of Mir. Hearst's candidacy. stand in Kentucky politics just at prcs- ent for justice to be done to those out side the narrow machine which seeks To dominate"
 The Senator said he found no change in the race for his position in the Seil- ate and does not expect, since Governor Beckham's withdrawal, much opposition.

POLITICAL POINTS
that he is perhaps not available.

that he Is perhaps not available.
 The conviction is strong in the minds of Democrats in Congress that New York cannot be carried for any candidate Mr. Murphy. It is not believed that Murphy designs to exercise the influence which he has secured through his suc- cessful management of Tammany affairs to absolutely dictate, or attempt to dic- tate, the nomination to be made at the a preference for Mir. Cleveland. 1t Is not supposed that he conten@lates declaring this preference as an z natum. It IS rather an expression of judgment, and 1t is understood that he would accept with good grace the nomination of almost any candidate whose nomination could be secured. There is no evidence that he is lacking in modesty and assumes to play the role of dictator. But his politi- cal sagacity Is recognized, and the il- f1uence which he would exercise in carry ing the State of New York for any can didate nominated is fully appreciated. Therefore. the Democrats outside of New York would hesitate to force upon him a New York man to whom he seriously objected.
 It has not been understood up to this time that Mir. Murphy objects to Judge Parker's nomination. The position taken by him has been that if the nomination of Mr. Cleveland should be secured 1t would be to the best interests of the party, and that, in any event. there is no occasion for New York, even If Judge Parker Is ultimately to be the choice of that State. to declare itself on the sub ject hastily. On this ground he has in- sisted upon an uninstructed delegation. He has not opposed Judge Parker. but has simply expressed doubt. This doubt is supposed to be based on the fact of Parker's close association with MT. Hill. It Is manifest that he does not want Mir. Hill to gather the fruits of the victory which Tammany won in the election of the Mayor of New York. Mir. Hill did not assist in the campaign in which this victory was won, and 1t Is understood that he did not offer assistance until the eleventh hour, when 1t was manifest to nearly everyone that Tammany would win the fight.

No Endorsement in New York.

Birmingham Age-Herald.
 The New York Democratic Convention Whlcn Will select delegates to the St. Louis convention Is to meet in Albany on the 18th day of April, or more than A month before the Alabama convention will be assembled at Montgomery.
 At the recent meeting of the New 1ork state Democratic Committee there was much friction between ex-Senator Hill and Leader Murphy of Tammany. but In the end the former was permitted to name Albany instead of New York as the place of meeting of the conyen- tion, and the latter dictated the policy of non-action in the State Committee. No aspirant was endorsed by the State Committee of the New York Democrats. MT. Murphy is firm upholder of the policy of sending a delegation to St Louis left free to use its own judgment. He believes 1t would be unwise to pre- Judice the issue by declaring for any one choice. '''S
 MT Hill is said to favor a delegation piedged to support Judge Parker, while MT. Murphy of the victorious army led 6y Iammany does not consider Judge He seems to doubt the ability of Judge Parker to carry his own State.

plainly expressed a doubt as to whether the Governor would act entirely difre-- entIy from what the man would do. And yet, to his great credit be it said, at t:.e very first opportunity to make good h.e pledge, he not only promptly set all the machinery of the law Tn motion to pro- tect negro murderer but personally took charge of the protective forces ard made them thoroughly effective. th,s more than redeeming his pledge with .a, any delay or hesitation.
 How differently things are done up North is shown in our dispatches from Springfield, O., where a negro was takcn from jail Monday night and lynched al- most within tho shadow of the Cover nor's office and residence. No douSt Governor Herriek has been as ready as any other Northern Republican to csl.. sure the Southern people for lynching negroes, but if he made any efforts :o save this one we are not aware of tt. Ii ne had acted as promptly and deter minedly as Governor Vardaman did, the Springfield negro would doubtless be alive to await punishment by legal meth ods. There is wide difference between precept and practice. especially North Of us.

MAY INJURE PARKER.
Hi!l's Control at Albany Believed
 10 Be Detrimintal,


 Washington Special to Baltimore Sun.
 The meeting of the Democratic State Committee of New York at Albany has not thrown much light upon the Presi- dential situation. It is doubtful whether tho interests of Judge Alton B. Parker have been advanced by the development that Hon. David B. Hill has control of the committee by small margin.
 The most effective argument against Judge Parker as candidate is based on the assumption that his relations with MT. HiH are too close politically to insure his being in harmony with the controll- ing influences within the Democratic party, and the conspicuous manifesto tion at Albany of Mir. Hills leadership in the Parker movement will, 1t is believed, be detrimental to Judge Parker's pros- poets as 8 candidate. The disposition among Democratic leaders in national af- fairs is to recognize MT. Charles F. Murphy, the head of Tammany, as the leader to whom they must look for sue cess if they are to carry New York at the next Presidential election. A factional alignment in the State which places Mir. Hill on one side and Mir. Murphy on the other is sure to array the strongest infiu- ences of the party outside of New York in sympathy with MT. Murphy. and the evidence that the Tammany chief Is not willing. at present at least, to accept Judge Parker as a candidate at the sug- gektion of Mir, Hill Is sufficient to excite dohbts in the minds of Democrats of other States, even though inclined to be favorable to Judge Parker's candidacy

WHO WERE THE CRIMINALS

The dispatches last Thursday had &C., counts of the collapse of a tall steel building which was in course of construc- ton in New York, resulting in the killing and maiming of a number of workmen. Showing the gross negligence and disre- gard of human life we find the statement made in The Hartford Times that at diff ferent times lately the builders had been notified by the inspectors of public build ngs as follows:
 1. That their plans were imperfect.
 3. That the amended plans were faulty, and that the walls as planned were not strong enough.
 3. That the girders were not of sufi- cient strength.
 1. A warning against "concentric load ing"
 5. An order that all work cease until the building was made secure. This was fortnight ago, and was ignored.
 All of these points of criticism were vital and important To neglect the warning in either case was a dangerous. if not a criminal act, but must all the blame fall on the contractors and build CTS? Is not the Board of Inspectors en- titled to part of the blame, and are they not equally guilty with those who were constructing the building? It is hardly possible that this Board can only issue Warnings or make suggestions and recS1n- mendations without the power to enforce them. If that board saw the dangers and defects pointed out above and took no steps to enforce it's belief or conviction if should bear at least an equal share of the responsibility and the conseouences
 Taking the brief memoranda as We have copied 1t above 1t is seen, that the pIans were imperfect, the walls not strong enough, the girders too weak. and warning against ''concentric loadinss' was iss9ed. But the criminal part of it was that the builders were notified a fortnight before the collapse, that all work must cease until the building was made secure" This was an order. vet so Tar as appears, no attempt was made to enforce 1t. If the board has no power to enforce It's orders it IS a farce. If it has the power and fails to exercise if. as in this case. it was grossly criminal Tbera is no escape from one of these proposi- tons.
 To this negligence or impotency of the Board Of Public Buildings. coupled with the greed of the contractors and builders to save money, is due the death of a number of working men who were. po doubt totally guiltless of any fault. If there is no law to punish the real orrcnd- CTS in such cases as this there should be and they should be rigidIy enforced. Hu' man life is very cheap in this country and the fact is largely due to the othsr fact that those who should protect ,t sa., to do so and escape all penalty for their negligence.

PRECEPr AND PRACTICE

All thinking. conservative people arc ready to admit that Governor. varao- man, while he was a candidate for inc of1ce he now holds. went too far when he declared that as a private citizen ba would assist at lyncning. While cii izen who does not aspire to a high po- sition might make such an assertt,,., just as an individual may ssv otbor things open to criticism MT. Vardan,. ., occupied different position. He was n candidate for an office which would mako him the chief executor of the laws of Mississippi and guardian of the honor ,s well as the lives. liberties and property of the State and of the people.
 Under such conditions it was incun,h. ent on him to guard well his tongue and be more cautious in hls utterances. l. i, true that in the same speech in whicf he said he would help, as an individua, to lynch a negro, he also said that s.! Governor he would execute the laws This was definite and to the point, bu would citizens of Mississippi or else where been to blame if they had doubte, whether the Governor would earnesti, endeavor to execute laws which he wou.c voluntarily break as a private man To doubt would have been natural, all, We know that some of the newspaper Of the country made that point, an,

MIR. CLEVELAND

 Princeton Special to N. Y Herald.
 John G. Carlisle. who occupied the po- sition of Secretary Of the Treasury du;- ing his last administration, came over from New York city today and spent the day at West Lawn, at Cleveiaru S nome In Bayard Avenue.
 While they discussed the condition Of Cleveland denied that he came as .in emtssary from the leader Of Tammany 1ail to urge him to announce himself as candidate. It was when questlnned as the result of the visit that MT Cleve- land evidenced the greatest displeasure.
 Its a pity" he said, that you boys have reached the point where the mo- tives of my callers are to be a matter oi speculation. I am getting tired Of hc- ing pestered In this manner. MT. Car lisle is an old friend: he often runs down to spend day with me. We talked some politics, but in remiEIs- cent way entirely, and without special regard as to existing conditions.
 MT. Cleveland, when questioned further Tor an expression of opinion with regard to the situation in New York, said: "l cont think 1t is fair question. shall refuse absolutely to be party in which any faction can use me to down another. l am sorry that my name was suggested even in that connection.
 T never saw Mir. Murphy but once !n my life, and that was at convention years ago He was standing on chair when l shook hands and exchanged q few pleasant words with him. He does not say that I am hls candidate, but simply that he thinks I am the strong est candidate at this time. and that he wishes an uninstructed delegation.
 That does not in any way affect tie positive statement I made some time ago. My position was announced then as strongly as the English language could make it, and I see no reason for supplementing that statement at ths time. It is a pity that such faction quar- rels should be magnified to such an eA- tent at this iime

Not Ready for New Troop.

Some days ago." said a military ofi- cer, "an order was issued by the Cover nor for the mastering out of Troop A of Montgomery, and Captain E. F: Baber was appointed the mastering officer for that purpose The initiative to muster ing out the Troop was taken by Captain Baber some days ago but the report of the mastering out has not yet been made and the order has not yet been carried out The report to that effect has not been filed with the Major of the squad eral Consequently any movement look ing to the organization of another troop of cavalry in this city is premature and an application to that effect cannot be considered until there is vacancy in the squadron.
 Tt is announced that an application has been made for the organization of q troop in Montgomery and that the appli- cation has been approved by the Major and filed with the Adjutant General. This application has not reached the Gover- nor and cannot be considered by him un- til the old troop has been formally mus tered out of the service Tn the mean time all adverse criticism as to the delay in granting the application for the new troop is without warrant

An evidence of the inert and conserv- ative habits of some of the old world people IS shown in the fact that no steam craft of any kind has ever been seen on the Dead Sea, that famous lake in Pal- estine which attracts so many visitors, not only for Its associations but for its peculiarities. It is nine or ten miles wide and forty-six miles long, and such a body of water in this country, even witl,- out its history, would have all sorts of craft for business and pleasure. A late traveller says there is but one boat on the sea and that is a small sailb ,at about twenty feet long which makes trips across or about the lake when the weather Is favorable, for there are fre~ quent storms which make it dangerous for the frail craft to venture out. Ger tainly they are a slow people in that region, and need a little Yankee enter prise.

HartfOTd (LOnn.J IIInes.
 The vicious principle of "the honor of the army" appears to have been applied again in case of a New York physician who failed to report a case of scarlet fever in a school, but whose name was concealed by the head of the healtn board. This officer said that the or fender had been fined $50. but that to dls, close his name would injure him ana make trouble for people in the sehool
 who were not to blame. All this may be true, but Is there any reason why a physician who deliberately violates law like this should be screened from the knowledge of the public?

It is also true that there are men who for $50 would take the risk of conceal- ing case, and that some persons con con, ,cerred would often be willing to pay tha' | sum-
