GROVER CLEVELAND.

With the death of Grover Cleveland
the nation loses one Of her foremost
and most honored citizens, a man who
was twice president of the United
States. A long, noble public career is
at an end and party barriers are
thrown aside that all may do rever-
ence to his memory. Mr.. Cleveland
lived the ideal American life, whether
in or out of office, and the fullness of
filial happiness that was his in the
later years rounded out his useful,
wholesome existence. The three
score and ten years have passed, the
body will be laid to rest and the ma
ton do homage to the memory.
1t is not infrequent that a man in
public life is maligned and his acts be-
Titled. The narrowness Of politics
and the playing of the game excuse
such practices in our day. Public
men overlook; the sting becomes as
nothing. 1t was so with Grover
Cleveland. During his campaigns and
administrations, he was bitterly at
tackled by partisan press and speakers.
His acts were denounced in many cas-
es by republicans and democrats alike
Yet he persevered in the task he had
set out for himself and none but real
lied the sincere motives that actuated
his every Official move. 1t has been
a boon to the happiness of the late ex-
president to live quietly these dozen
years since retiring from the White
House. His friends have been warm
and many. his enemies have capitulat-
ed and the last years were crowned
with JOY.
Whatever historical inaccuracies
creep out in a contemporary estima-
ton of Grover Cleveland, it is more
liable to err on the side of praise than
of blame. In this country, the good
that men do lives after them and with
the late ex-president the great acts of
his administration and his noble per-

FEARS PRISON.;
RETURNS TO WIFE
George SchWeifer Decides to
Go Back to the Woman
He Deserted.
WIFE WRITES A LETTER.
WOULD KILL HERSELF UNLESS
FAITHLESS HUSBAND WHOM
SHE LOVES, RETURNS.

Yesterday afternoon, George SchWei-
fer was arrested at the handle factory
in West Richmond, on complaint filed
by his wife, who lives at Gallon, O..
Mrs. Schweifer in her letter to Chief
Bailey stated that her husband, not
withstanding the fact that she was in
a delicate condition, deserted her and
came to Richmond with his brothers.
who induced him to take this STEP
She, so the letter ran, was left in a
helpless condition to make an unequal
fight with the world for existence. She
said that if her husband did not re-
turn to her she would kill herself. This
assertion was made several times in
the letter.
When Schweifer was taken into GUS
tody he expressed Indifference as to
the condition of his wife and said that
he had no desire to return to her. She
is crazy" remarked Schweifer, with
shrug of his shoulders, but the next
instant he paled to livid hue when
Chief Bailey sharply informed him
that the law provided a penitentiary
sentence for wife desertion. Will
you let me go back to herr he stam-
mered with terror in his eyes. A
short time later the young man was
enroute to Gallon.
Letter Sample.
Mrs. Schweifer's letter was only a
sample of numerous ones the police
department receives from women who
have been deserted by their husbands.
She said that she was in love with him
although he had abused her shameful
ly. Last Sunday, so the letter read,
Schweifer's brothers, who live in this
city, visited Gallon and in her presence
urged her husband to return with
them to Richmond. She stated that
she pleaded with him not to leave her
because of her condition but he ig-
nOred her entreaties. She then made
threats of killing herself in an effort
to induce him to remain with her or
take her with him to Richmond.
These threats served only to amuse
him and, so the letter runs, he told
her that he would lose but little sleep
If she did take her life. Her sugges-
ton that he take her to Richmond was
received by him with curses.

sonal character will live through the
succeeding years. PROFESSIONALLY,
certain qualities can not be underes-
timated, and the great American pub
lie will remember and appreciate.
At one point in President Cleve-
lands administration, he stood out ap-
parently alone against the leaders of
his own and the republican party in
the fulfillment of pledge made by the
democrats in the convention where he
was nominated. This pledge called
for the repeal of the weak, make-shift
Sherman Silver Purchase Act, a meas
ure which precipitated the panic Of the
early nineties. The nation was drift
ing toward a silver standard of curren-
cy, it's credit was in Danger and the
value of it's coin was less than half of
the bullion they were supposed to rep
resent Eastern men clamored for
change, realizing that the rocks of
land forced the repeal of this act and
then, when congress passed bill call
ing for the coming of the seignorage,
President Cleveland killed the measure
with his veto powers. By the sale of
the treasury gold reserve was main
tanned and the national credit suffered
little. Economists assert that this
series of acts in connection with the
other currency legislation backed by
President Cleveland, paved the way for
the great industrial period that follow
ed the effects of the crisis.
In his relation with foreign powers,
Grover Cleveland was firm, deter
mined patriot. The United States as
world power was not so far advanc-
ed twenty years ago, yet the great
democratic president upheld the Mon
roe Doctrine when Great Britain
threatened to encroach upon South
American territory and the English
lion withdrew on the terms proposed by
Cleveland himself His attitude dur
ing the Chicago strike in 1894 was also
indicative of his great personal
strength. In the interest of law and
order, he exercised his official prerog
alive and quelled the disturbances
with the aid of United States troops.
Grover Cleveland was a man whose
political precepts were the pledges of
his party and the better judgment of
his own mind. He was a grand ex-
ample of the forceful, self-made Amer
lean. When his opportunity came, he
grasped it bravely and directed the
best strength and effort of his life for
the betterment of the nation he
served.

FAMOUS LETTER
GOES TO EARLHAM
Speaker Cannon Presents To-
cal College With VaIua-
BILE Message.
HAS A HISTORIC ORIGIN.
WRITTEN BY JOSEPH JOHN CUR
NEY TO DUKE OF RICHMOND,
URGING HIM TO PROTECT PRO-
FANATIoN OF SABBATH.
HAS A HISTORIC ORIGIN.

Joseph G.. Cannon, speaker of the
national house of representatives, has
written a letter to President Kelly of
Earlham college, enclosing an auto
graph letter of Joseph John Quincy.
The speaker was named after Mr.. Cur
ney, a we'll known Englishman, who
was interested in American affairs
eighty years ago. The letter of Mr..
Quincy was written at Earlham, near
Norwich, Eng, 9th mo-, Goth da, 6h
1881. The letter was addressed to the
Duke of Richmond and is an appeal to
him and his colleagues in the English
cabinet to take measures to curtail the
prevalent PROCLAMATION of the Sabbath
The letter was sent to Speaker Can
non by Walter R. Benjamin, of New
York, and the Speaker forwarded it
to the college authorities.
The Speaker wrote Mr. Benjamin as
follows:
Speakers Room, House of Representa-
tives, Washington. D. c..
Mr. Walter R. Benjamin, New York
City.
My Dear Sir:-I have your kind IA
vor of the Goth instant, presenting to
me with your compliments an auto
graph letter of Joseph John Quincy,
TO the Duke of Richmond, dated Earl
ham. near Norwich, Sixth Month, Goth,
1881"
About 1887 when Mr. Quincy was
visiting Friends Meetings in North
Carolina and South Carolina and Vir-
ginia, my father was his companion.
He had a strong admiration and affec-
ton for him. l was born at New
Garden, near Greensboro, Guilford
county, North Carolina, and my par
ents gave me the name of Joseph John
i Quincy Cannon because of their regard
for Mr.. Quincy. When I arrived at
years of discretion I dropped the man
name John" and retained the name
Joseph Quincy" You can understand,
therefore, that it has given me a great
deal of pleasure to have seen and read
the letter.
| have come to the conclusion, how
ever, that the safest place to keep the
letter and the place where it will be
most highly cherished, is at Earlham
College, Richmond, Indiana. AS you
probably know, this institution is con-
Quoted under the auspices of the So
ciety of Friends and is named. as |
understand, after "Earlham," which
was the home of Mr.. Quincy. If,
therefore. it is agreeable to you. | will
transmit the letter, together with your
letter of the Goth inst, to Earlham col
lege, to be safely kept at that institu-
ton. At the same time I know that
you will understand that lack Meth
er in appreciation of the letter itself
nor Of your courtesy IN sending it to
me. Thanking you for your kind.
| ness, l am. with respect, etc. yours
truly. (Signed)

FOR THE CHILDREN'S SAKE!

TO the mothers OF Richmond is CIV
en- an opportunity to work a great
good to the city. Impure and unclean
milk is being sold from house to house
by some dairymen who have been in
business here for many years and UNI
til a state inspector started an in
vestigation yesterday, there have been
few questions. Now the sensational
facts are forcing their way into the
minds of the family consumers and a
thorough reform in the milk business
should be the outcome.
For the mothers and housewives,
there is open the course of demand
ing that each dealer prove the clean
illness and purity Of his milk. The
summer days of typhoid fever and
other highly contagious bacteria
diseases are here and if an epidemic
is to be prevented, there must be no
more milk such as was found in sever
al wagons yesterday, sold to consum-
ers. In San Francisco, the California
Woman's Club purged the city of i'm
pure milk and drove out the Offend
ing dairymen. The same must be ac-
complished in Richmond and if not by
the law, by the mothers who are more
vitality interested.
70 hn oh hot tic
should be done. The summer is not
healthy and the germs that find their
way into milk that is carelessly hand
led can work to great harm among
the small folk. Demand that your
milk dealer show you his supply cans
and the condition of his wagon, and
if they are not sanitary, report to the
proper authorities and the general
public will insist upon prosecution.
Unfit for any public office in a civil
liked country and certainly not quail
| fed as a loyal citizen to serve in the
position to which he has been ap-
| pointed, member of the state board
| of tax commissioners goes about the
state vilifying the Supreme Court of
Indiana and slandering the judges
who have passed upon law which he
personally holds as unjust. No mat
ter who the man is. his talk to the
Wayne County board of review de-
veloped that he is a traitor to the
highest tribunal in the state. His
rank utterances to the effect that he
would not trust a judge of the SUI
preme court farther than he could
throw a bull by the tall are incen-
diary and anarchisic in their purport
and this man should be Immediately
recalled by Governor Hanly and re-
lieved Of his state position.
