Most Painstakinu.

Mr.. Cleveland took a great interest
in pension legislation. Observing a
discriminating attitude, which was
most important both for the public
treasury and from the point of view

ordS, it was his custom to examine
each act and all the facts connected
with the claim of the beneficiary with
the greatest care. If he found flaw
In the record, he would put a veto on

writing. Cleveland rarely dictated
lie found his ideas flowed better when
his pen touched the paper. His hand
writing was small, but clear. 1t was
like copperplate. Probably no pres
iient Of recent times used a pen with
rs much frequency as Cleveland.
The painstaEing character of Mr.
Cleveland's work will be realized when
it is known that he made a personal
examination of every paper that came
before him. This particularly was true

could depend on Mr.. Cleveland to give
fair consideration to the report of his

Cleveland detected flaws in the pro.
ccedings of the court. in which case the
officer benefited either in the way of
modification Of his sentence or a new

rSUE most distinctive utterances OF
the Republican platform outside
of the renewed declaration Of
the traditional policies of the
party are the modified restraint Of
judicial iujunCtiuns. the assurance OF
an early revision Of the tariff. the
support of the presidents policies on
trusts. railroads aud labor. the declara-
ton in favor of postal savings banks
and the demand that natives of Porto
Rico he made citizens Of this country.
Willie these are notable from po-
litical standpoint, there are several
declarations that have attracted little
notice and that cannot become political
issues for the reason that no one will
oppose them. which may have even a
greater meaning for the future. Among
these may be mentioned public aid to
good roads. the conservation OF natural
resources. the pledge for the extension
Of free rural mail delivery. the prolec-
ton of employees and the start made
toward child labor legislation, the fur

No Room For the Bard,

With great gee Mr.. Cleveland used
to tell of an experience he bad when
he was governor of New York state.
There was a public meeting at one~of
the theaters TO Which the governor and
his staff were invited. The staff put
on their most gorgeous uniforms. There
Were fifteen or sixteen of them, and
they were respondent in gold lace and
cord
When the party reached the theatcr
entrance they found so many people
there that somebody suggested they
should 90 around and enter by the
stage door.
Ihey encountered a stolid stage door
keeper, who had been at his post for
years and was used TO the wiles of peo-
pie who want to get behind the scenes
Cant get in here" he said grufIiy.
But said Mr. Cleveland, Il am the
governor"
The doorkeeper looked the governor
over carefully. Apparently he recog
nized him, for he said, "An right, gov.
ernor; you can go in"
Then he waved his hand at the gaudy
stan and announced, The band must
go around the other way"

AS Friend and LAWYER.

Cleveland was more of a sociabe
man than social Que. He enjoyed
few social relations in Buffalo. rarely
visiting the houses of friends. At the
same time he was most convivial with
his male acquaintances He was fond
of playing cards in bis youth and spent
most of his time with the boys. AS a
lawyer he seldom practiccd in court,
and, while never regarded as a close
student, he had the faculty of grasp
ing a legal problem, which made him
Invaluable as counsel. His practice
was confined almost altogether to his
office, his associates making the argu-
ments in court.

Sample of His Wit.

one morning several years before he
became president of the United States.

nue. ear were It's only other passengers,
several saucy specimens of the genus

peyed as they noticed the future prc'i-
dents great size. Then they became

Nh Cleveland seemed to he much
amused at the iHpudeuce Of the lads,
Yet, as they left the car at Thirty
fourth street. he could not resist joke
at thcr expense.
Its a pity, my boys" he said, that
your mothers couldn't have fed you on
yeast. Perhaps you'd have been better
bred"

Phelps Stokes sit up and take an inter-

Socialism would give TO each an
equal right to take. Republicanism
would give to each an equal right to

Of possession. which would soon leave
to no one anything to possess. Repub-
licanism would give equality of oppor-
tunity. which would insure to each
his share of a constantly increasing
sum Of possessions. In line with this
tendency the Democratic party of to-
day believes in government ownership.
while the Republican party believes in
government regulation. Ultimately De-
mocracy would have the nation own
the people, while Republicanism would
have the people own the nation"
