single order of his did the crew obey. On the contrary, the crew reversed every order he gave.
 And then they say he ruined the party
 After Cleveland saved the public credit and after Bland wrecked the democratic party, there was a miscegenatlon of the democrats, the pops, the silver republic ans and the Debs socialists. They made a platform denunciatory of Cleveland's policies. and when he refused to be spaniel enough to vote the ticket, he was denounced as a traitor and called all sorts of blackguard names.
 The election went as it was bound to go The unholy laison of the democrats. the pops, the silver republicans, and the socialists could not prosper. Henry M. Teller, who would not vote to confirm Chief Justice Fuller because he did not believe that any democrat was fit to sit on the supreme bench, got to be a mag nate of the democratic party. John G. Carlisle had to make way for Jerry Simp- son. Richard Olney was supplanted by George Fred Williams. All the Adullam- ites between the oceans fiocked to the democratic party
 MT. Cleveland went into retirement con scous of his rectltude, confident of vlndication. Little by little the people came to realize that he was a great man. patriot and a sage. Ills party is yet infatuated with the Moabites; but it has arrived to some sense of deeency, and 1t Is quite likely that it will eulogize him at the grand powwow at Denver.
 But that matters nothing. Grover Cleve- land belongs to history, and we may be sure that history will deal justly and tenderly by him.

GROVER CLEVELAND-By Savoyard

Cleveland was appointing a democrat to
 office and turning a republican out of
 office at the rate of one for every time
 the clock told the quarter of an hour,
 and it was determined that the President
 should tell the Senate his reasons for
 making the changes in the public service.
 When the President refused, Edmunds
 proposed to summon before him the judi
 ciary committee and interogate him like
 a malefactor. It was then that James
 l.. Pugh of Alabama made a report on
 the constitutional question involved that convinced George F. Hoar that the Senate was making a fool of itself. A few days l later Cleveland supplemented 1t with the
 message famous for this sentence, After i au existence of nearly 20 years of almost inocuous desuetude, these laws arc brought forth"
 After that even Harrison, Edmunds and Ingalls, were willing that Cleveland should ,, be President
 The election of 18S was very close, and was decided by the corrupt use of money in New York, under the direction of Matt Quay and Dave Martin, and, though Cleveland had a plurality of the popular vote, Harrison became President, and Tom Reed was chosen speaker of Con- gress The result was that the House of Representatives ceased to be a delibera- tive body, the Mckinley robber tariff was i enacted, and the Sherman silver law was rut on the statute books.
 A few months later the people took a whack at thes things with the result
 that the democratic victory of 1890 was
 the completest any party ever attained in the country. Had Grover Cleveland been reelected President in 1888 the

of money so improvidently borrowed from England, or to suffer the disgrace of re- pudiation, which would be doubly shame full because the money was received in hard cash, and lent out, often rashly- by the state, to farmers for agricultural im- provements. Besides, all the expenses of the government were In reality defrayed during several years by borrowed money and the burthen of the debt thrown on posterity. The facility with which your English capitalists, in 1921, lent their cash to state from which the Indians were not yet expelled without rehecting on the migratory nature of the white population is astonishing. The planters who got the grants of your money and spent it, have nearly all of them moved off and set tied beyond the Mississippi" But Lyell had faith in. Alabama's s natural resources, which he felt were so great that only a moderate amount of economy would be necessary to surmount all embarrass- ments.
 Texas, and the probability of war with England over the Oregon question, were topics discussed on every hand He would hear the English adversely criticised and such boasts as I've have whipped them twice. and should whip them a third time, but where his nationality was known, he says, never once were any speeches uncourteous in their tone to- wards my country, uttered in my hear ing"
 On his geologising trips, which would ofteptimes have been hard on anyone not riding his own hobby" he was forced to stop where night overlook him. so even the habits of the crackers became fla miliar to him. Tn many houses l hes itated to ask for water or towels, for fear of giving offense. nor could l venture to ask anyone to rub a thick coat of mud off my trousers, lest should be thought to reflect on members of the family, who had no idea of indulging in such luxu- ries themselves. l felt the want of d private bedroom, but very soon came to regard it as no small privilege to be al lowed to have even a bed to myself" In his wanderings he also met "clay eaters" "a people curious in their cravings for certain kinds of clay. Their peculiar green complexion, indicating anemia, which usually terminates in dropsy, was formerly considered a sequence to the qualification of this abnormal appetite, but

 When dubious about safety from high waymen Lyell was assured that In the

 But the terrible disaster of mans fall, and the consequent struggle which the fall necessitated, were all foreseen by the Creator Jehovah was not to be sur prised out of His propriety, and reduced to the pitable plight of a weak monarch, struggling to provide suddenly for a des- perate emergency. The fall was not only foreseen, but 1t was provided for. It has been said that God wanted a great po- em from Milton, and made him blind in order to get it; and Paradise Lost was the result" But the mighty epic was written in the form of dark tragedy many ages before Adam drst saw the light. The fall of man wns written in the bowels of the earth. The dread se cret slept in the bosom of the everlasting mountains. The great coal beds, pro-

had made by his vetoes and the character Blaine had made by the Mulligan let ters. Moreover, I believe that James G. Blanc knew exactly what Father Burch ard was going to say. AS to the tale that John Y McKane stole 5000 votes from Ben Butler to swell Cleveiands vote, that Is absurd I much doubt if God Almighty would allow government to exist that contained 5000 voters who would prefer Ben Butler for head of It.
 Cleveland got to be President in 1885. The democratic party was very hunsS.. and very thirsty and was certain that 1t had put the world in a basket To the Iemotest precincts tioings vent that wealth, honor and happiness grew on trees in Washington that any democrat could have for the asking; but 1t was not so. There was a rugged, splendid man in the White House, who knew the mean ing of but one word--and that duty And do you know that duty Is the price of everything in this world worth the hav ing? Duty is the one coin of the mint that will be legal tender on judgment day.
 And so it was that Cleveland, with his own hand and over the protest of nine of every 10 of his advisers, penned the tariff message of 1SS7 There have been enough lies told about that episode to sink Nelsons fleet had it been freighted with them. It is likely true that 1t cost him the election of 1888, but 1t secured for him the election of 1892. The winter of 18S5-S6 the republican Senate was not quite willing to allow Cleveland to be President In this behalf Ben Harrison was very able. Georfe F. Edmunds very zealous and John J. Ingalls, very bitter.

and detraction and cant He was very great man. But he was more than that he was noble from skin to marrow and from marrow to skin again.
 It was in 1881 that Grover Cleveland be- came mayor of Buffalo. A proposal was before him and the city council to award a contract to a certain concern to do certain public work at a price $1OO,0OO in excess of a lower bid of another concern just as responsible. The city council indorsed the rascality and Grover Cleve- land vetoed 1t in the massage, with the ringing exordium, This is a time for plain speaking
 But when was there ever time for other than blunt speech from those lips? AS Mayor of Buffalo, he was the example of every Mayor from ocean to ocean, who has sought to divorce corr ruption from American city govern ment. He was the pioneer reformer in the city hall.
 It was the veto of that steal of $100,- 900 that made Grover Cleveland gov- ernor of New York, and 1t was his veto of a confiscatory and demagogic act of the New York legislature that made Grover Cleveland President of the Unit ed States, as a man whose life Is be- hind him, I would lift a voice of warn ing to American youth and say that when this republic dies, 1t will be o : that deadliest of all moral and politi- cal maladies-faithlessn to plighted trust, and my advice to every boy -s this: That it Is better to discharge a

commonplace villas in Barnes, and here the first Buddhist temple has been opened.
 Somehow or other, Buddhism and Barnes do not seem to go together, and certain ly the dress of the gentleman who landed the other day appeared singularly out of place in our western climate, his shaved head and yellow robe suggesting tropical sunshine and eastern vegetation.
 The temple wkich has been opened is likewise not very impressive. Many of the fitting are still needed and have not yet arrived. The special feature about the temple Is that no women are ad- mitted. I met some one day or two ago who had heard the Buddhist monks first lecture, and he described 1t to me as strange mixture of Orientalism delivered with a strong Scotch accent.
 That which is certainly singular in the Buddhist monks life appears to be that he takes but one meal a day.
 The inhabitants of Barnes, who live in and around his little villa, and who eat their four square meals. would probably consider this exis<ence nothing short of starvation.
