Mr.. Cleveland and the Tariff.
The Troy, New York, Times makes the
interesting suggestion:

The Troy, New York, Times makes the
following interesting suggestion:
Several days have now elapsed since ex-
President Cleveland has issued a statement
explaining or defending his acts while in
the executive chair. If he really wants to
contribute something valuable as showing
what democratic domination would mean
he might rehearse a little history relating
to the tariff of 'perfidy and dishonor.
which a democratic Congress passed and
which he refused to approve, though he
failed to veto It,"
A Troy industry by the way. figured con-
spicuously in that famous "perfidy and dis
honor tariff bill. Edward Murphy. jr..
who lives in that town, was then in the
Senate and he Joined Mr.. German in over
hauling the House bill in the interest of a
collars and cuffs mandatory doing busi-
ness at Troy The House schedule did not
suit Mr.. Murphy, and Mr.. German con-
sented to raise it. In exchange for that
favor Mr.. Murphy supported the other
changes made in the House bill. 1t was in
this way that Mr. German proceeded, and
in the end succeeded. When a senator re-
ceived favor he was naturally pledged to
grant one, and so the bill as amended went
through In Its final shape every demo-
cratic senator who had co-operated with
Mr.. German had received something for
local industry. Mr.. Brice of Ohio likened
the affair to a free lunch, and wittily in
vited everybody up to the counter.
But. as The Star stated the other day.
the sensational feature of that contest was
the charge. made by democratic senators
after Mr.. Cleveland's letter was published,
that the President had been kept advised
of the progress Of the work in the Senate,
and that it's authors had proceeded under
the distinct impression that he was approx
ing of their course. To their surprise and
Indignation, he turned upon them after
they were through and covered them with
obloquy.
All of this. however, was thoroughly
brought out at the time. Mr.. Germans
speech in the Senate In reply to Mr.. Cleve-
land was the most severe deliverance ever
heard from him, and. although he toned it
down a bit for the Congressional Record, 1T
still stands as most personal and caustic
arrangement The Maryland senator had the
Endorsement of all the men who had worked
with him, and on the day he spoke the gal
leries of the Senate were crowded.
Mr.. Cleveland may not care to go into
the tariff matter now. AS the phrase is, 1t
is loaded. His course on the tariff question
on the money question. He shuffied with
1t in 1888 when the day for his renomina-
ton approached, and in 1892 any sort of
plank on that subject in the platform would
have suited him. STILL one could hope to
hear from him, he has SO much leisure and
is so fond of writing.

A Song Of the Clock.

It's useless to be signing
For the chances you have lost;
It's useless to be crying
Ger the past and what it cost.
Ger the hope that's dead and vanished
Let us not in mourning stand
For yesterday is far away
Tomorrows close at hand.
Now's the time to make it pleasant
Spite of memories overcast;
For minute of the present
Is worth ages of the past -
And the clock keeps up its rhythm
Marking time for all the land.
And yesterday is far away;
Tomorrow's close at hand.
