Grover Cleveland.

The presidents since the war have
been men who reflected credit upon
the republic They We're honorable
Eigh-toned gentlemen, who shed luster
upon the exalted position they occu-
pied. The presidency did not suffer
cans occupied 1t.
But there came a crisis. The finan.
cial situation was unsettled. The Har
rison administration lodged it. The
entire responsibility was thrown upon
Mr.. Cleveland. and the storm broke
while he was president A weak kneed
executive would have gone down un
der the stress. But it was here that
Grover Cleveland proved himself a
great man. His party had pronounced
for the repeal of the purchasing clause
of the Sherman act, and then more
than half the Democrats in congress
lined up against their own platform
Mr.. Cleveland made congress hew to
the line and carry out the platform oil
his party.
1t was Grover Cleveland that estab
lished the prevailing financial system
and his vindication is that the Repub
leans sustained him and that Mr.
Bryan now admits that there is ne
occasion for his 16 to 1 theory.
If anybody but big, brave. level
headed man like Cleveland had beer
president in 1892. there is no telling
where this country would be today
And furthermore. il Cleveland had
been president during the last foul
years We will venture to say that tbs

CAIRO AND THE FERRY.

The ferry boat matter Is still hang
ing ire. The money asked for by
the Cairo City Ferry company as a
condition of operating its boat, has
been subscribed. but there seems to
be difference of opinion as to the
conditions upon which 1t should be
paid over to the company. The pre-
vailing sentiment. among the subserib-
ers as well as among these who have
this matter In hand for the CONNER
cial Club. seems to be that the boat
should be operated upon different
schedule than formerly A boat to
make hourly or half hourly trips IN

suit better than any other service.

ness of the ferry company came from
Kentucky; hence il does not seem
worth while to run big, expensive
boat in order to make the Missouri
shore. and run it only three or -four
times day. The thing to do. II seems,
Is to nurse and build up the business
from Kentucky by putting in boat
that will give it the right kind Of
service; and let the Mississippi ferry
take care of the business from Mis-
souri,. Mr.. Aisthorpe also stated at
this meeting that 1t was immaterial t.
the ferry company what boat did the
business. Any boat was at, liberty to
come into the trade as the franchise
Of the Cairo City Ferry Company hal
expired.
Objection has been made that 1t will
cost much money to build and main
tain landing at East Cairo, and that
there is no high water road into the
interior. But there is good reason to
believe that a landing can be made
there which can be reached both from
water and from land most of the year,
and that the people of some OF the
towns In Kentucky would aid in build
ing a high water road to the river
There can be little doubt that this
must be ultimately the arrangement
and the solution for the ferry Prob.
lem for Cairo, and If 1t can not be
settled that way at present, 1t may be
we'll to make the best arrangement
possIhle with the ferry company until
Il can be settled that way.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21-The days

wholly confined 10 the closing up Of
open contracts by the professional
operators on the eve of a holiday. The
bearish sentiment which has pre-
vailed among the speculative element
was revealed by the pyedomlnance of
short contracts TO be reduced. The
strong feature of the market was the
group Of copper industrials with sym
pathetic fleet on other metal indus

which encouraged the selling OF the
securities has been halted and a
sharp rebound recorded. The sig
niiicance OF the rebound in the price
Of the metal is somewhat obscured
by the speculative conditions which
surround its market and especially
that for London copper warrants. The
course of copper gives evidence that
iho sales of the metal effected on
the recent decline have perceptibIy
relieved the pressure of supplies
