Mr.. Cleveland's Grafton was plea for
good citizenship and for conservatism
in governmental policies.
Mr.. Cleveland was accompanied to
Chicago by Mrs. Cleveland and by his
family physician, Dr. Bryant. The
party arrived last evening in private
car, and have been guests at several
social functions arranged in their hon
or. The feature Of his visit was the
Union League meeting this afternoon.
The day was generally observed here.
A majority of the down town business
houses, the board of trade, and all
banks were closed. The principal cele-
bration of the day was in the hands
of the Union League Club. In the
morning exercises were held at the Au-
ditorium under the auspices of the
club. President John H. Finley, of
the college of the City of
New York, was the princi-
pal speaker. Last evening banquet
was held at the Union League club
house, at which Mr.. Cleveland, Presl-
dent Finley and Richard Watson Gill
der were chief speakers.
In his address Mr. Cleveland said, in
part:
"The American people are but little
given to the observance of public hol-
idays. This statement cannot he dis
posed of by the allegation that our ma
tional history is too brief to allow the
accumulation of days deserving civic
commemoration. Tho it is true that
our life as a people, according to the
standard measuring the existence OF
nations, has been short one, 1T has been
filled with glorious achievements; and
tho it must be conceded that it is not
given to us to see in the magnifying
mirage of antiquity, the exaggerated
forms of American heroes, yet in the
bright and normal light shed upon our
beginning and growth, are seen grand
and heroic men who have won lmper-
sishable honor and our everlasting re-
membrance We cannot therefore eX-
cuse a lack of commemorative inclina-
ton and a languid interest in recall
ing the notable incidents of our coun-
try's past under the plea of lack OF
commemorative material; nor can we
in this way explain our neglect ade-
quately to observe days which have
actually been set apart for the especial
manifestation of our loving apprecia-
ton of the lives and the deeds of AM
ericans, who in crises of our birth and
development have sublimely wrought
and nobly endured.
"If we are inclined to look for other
excuses, one may occur to US which.

Efforts to savs Victims.

London, Feb 22.-The steamer Ciaos
ton returned to Harwich this morning
from the Hook Of Holland, where she
arrived yesterday morning about an
hour after the ill-fated Berlin was
wrecked. The Clacton stood by the
remnants Of the Berlin all day long and
made strenuous efforts to rescue the
Survivors. An officer OF Clacton today
gave graphic account Of the scene,
as follows:
ION our arrival at the Hook, we at
once set to work to endeavor to suc-g
cor the stranded steamer. The sea
waves were forty feet high, for the
was blowing bang on shore. We got
in close to the rocks, but nearly went
on them ourselves, and had to put
about in order to escape the fate Of
the Berlin. It was impossible for us
to get out life boat, as it would have
been smashed to pieces In the raging
waters. We could see people in groups
on board the Berlin. As we approached
in an attempt to rescue them the per-
sons on board raised a cheer. Appar-
emily the best discipline prevailed on
board. All the passengers had heen
furnished with life belts. When with
in hundred yards Of the Berlin we
threw out all our life belts with lines
attached, but they failed to reach her.
It was impossible to take line on
board the stranded steamer, as noth-
ing could have lived in the terrible
waves.

nothing to assist them. We saw scores

wreck on the narrow gauge line of the
Milwaukee running between Bellevue
and Cascade, in this county, one per-
son was killed, three were fatally in

From some cause unknown the coach
of the mixed train ran off a trestle at
point three miles east of Washington
Mills falling a distance of ten feet and
pulling a loaded coal car on top of it.
The accident happened shortly before

Conspiracy in Recent Strike.
Chicago, Feb. 22.-President Corne-
lius p. Shea of the international
Brotherhood Of Teamsters and his fell
low defendants, who have been on trial
on charge of conspiracy committed
during the teamsters' strike against
the department stores in Chicago two
years ago, were found not guilty by a
Jury in the criminal court last night
The Jury reported to the court after
being out nearly four hours
This was the second trial of the case
the Jury disagreeing the first time. The
second trial was direct contrast to
the first, owing to the quick progress
made by both In securing the jury
and in presenting the evidence. 1t was
begun on February and the jury was
completed five and half days later,
whereas seventy-eight days was con-
sumed in securing the former jury,
and the trial lasted in all 131 days.
One Of the features of the second
trial was the liberty extended the jur-
ors by Judge Kavanaugh, who per-
mitted them to visit their homes ac-
companied by deputy sheriffs, so that
thew might give attention to important
personal business and see their fam
lilies. Special arrangements were
made also for gymnasium and other
privileges for the men. The cost OF
the, trial is estimated at $4,000. The
former one is said to have cost $780,
600.
The chief witness for the state in
this. as in the former trial Were AL
bert Young, president of rival team
sters, organization, and two others of
the original defendants all of whom
turned states evidence during the
progress of the former. trlsl.

pear to gain somewhat fanciful
plausibility by reason OF its REFER
ence to the law of heredlty.
1t rests upon the theory that
those who secured for American ma
tionality it's first foothold, and watched
over its weak infancy were SO en-
crossed with the persistent ana uns
escapable labors that pressed upon
them and their hopes and aspirations
led them so constantly to thoughts OIL

ing to the present and future, becailie
so embedded in their natures as to con-
stitute a trait OF character descendlple
to their posterity even to the present
generation.
There is another reason which
might be advanced in mitigation of our
lack of commemorative enthusiasm
which Is so related to our pride OF AM
erlcanism that If we could be certain
OF its suffclency we would gladly ac-
cept 1t as conclusive. 1t has to do with
the underlying qualities and motives
of our free Institutions. Those insti-
tutions had their birth and nurture IN
unseltish patriotism and unreserveo
consecration: and by a degree OF rate
beyond recall or change their perpetui-
ty and benefcence are conditioned on
the constant devotion and single
hearted loyalty of those to whom their
blessings are vOuChSateQ.
But after all why should we at

for our remissness in appropriate hol-
iday observance.
1.-The commemoration of the day on
which American independence was
born, has been allowed to lose much
of its significance as a reminder OF
Providential favor and the inflexible
patriotism of the fathers of the repub-
lie, and has nearly degenerated to u
revel of senseless noise and dangerous
explosion leaving in it's train far more
of mishap and accident, than lessons
of good citizenship or pride of coun-
| try. The observance of Thanksgiving
day is kept alive thru it's annual desig-
nation by federal and state authority.
But it is worth our while to inquire
whether its original meaning, as a day
of united praise and gratitude to God
for the blessings bestowed upon us as
a people and as individuals, is not
smothered in feastingt and social indul-
gence. We in common with Christian
nations everywhere, celebrate Christ
mas-but how much less as a day Of
commemorating the birth of the Re-
deemer of mankind, than as day of hi
larity and the interchange of gifts.
II will not without decided protest
be accused of antagonizing or depre-
eating light-hearted mirth and jollity.
On the contrary I am an earnest advo-
cate of every kind Of sane, decent So
cial enjoyment, and all sorts of recrea-
ton. Blu. nevertheless I feel that the
allowance of an incongruous posses
sion by them of our commemorative
days is evidence Of certain condition,
and is symptomatic of popular ten
dency which is by no means reassur-
ing.
