cIeveland,s Admiration for Wilson.

George F Parker in Mcclure for March,
If | were asked to name the one public
man in whom, of all others outside his
official associates, Mr.. Cleveland reposed
the most confidence and for whom be
had the deepest admiration, would have
no hesitation. should name William
l., Wilson of West Virginia. Coming
into relations with HIM when the tariff
question had been forced to the front IN
1887, the President recognized at once
the comprehensive knowledge of this
mountain college professor, whose most
important schooling came from his boy
lsh service in the Confederate Army, 1t
would have been impossible for anybody
even to meet Mr.. Wilson without COM
ing under the spell of that charm which
with all his ability and information, was
his distinguishing characteristic. Dur
ing Cleveland's first administration he
was one of that group of friends made up
of the Cabinet, John G. Carlisle, Roger
0. Mills. Clifton r. Breckenridge, John
E. Russell. William d. Bynum, and
others of the same type, who in both
House and Senate. bore the burden of
the day in the discussion of the Mills
Bill, which was the outcome of the mes
sage of 1887.
During the interim between presiden-
tia terms, when discussion of this bill
was gong on all over the country, so
that it assumed the proportions of great
moral agitation. Mr.. Cleveland still kept
up his relations with Mr.. Wilson, in so
far as distance permitted. He always in
sisted upon keeping him to the front
when important matters were under dis
cussion, and his friends. knowing this,
and sharing his admiration for Wilson,
made him the president of the Chicago
Convention IN 1892. Before his depar-
ture for Washington for his second in
auguratiou, Mr. Cleveland said to me
one day, with a suddenness not unusual
with him when new idea came into his
mind
Parker, do you know what l would
do with William l.. Wilson, If | coulo !?
would appoint HIM assistant TO the
President with sal airy of 10, 900 year.
AS the Executive office is now organ
lied, it can deal, with fair amount of eff
cheney. with the routine affairs of Govern
ment; but if the President has any great
policy in mind he has no one to help him
work it out. Yes, l tell you that. while
should hate to take Wilson ont of Con-
gress, would make him my assistant if
l could | have even half notion to
offer him the place anyhow, ard pay him
out of my own pocket"
Mr.. Cleveland paid his last tribute of
respect to Wilson by gong long dis
lance TO his funeral. and By his activity
in raising money for an appropriate me-
mortal to him at Washington and Lee
University.

lowing comment on the japanese situa-

Qualification Of unreas0nIng racial en-
nifty appears 10 be the purpose Of the

observe, the chief object Of its assembling
is to enact some law that Will be obuox-
Gus to the japanese, and 50 Illuminating
them and setting them apart with the
vile and despised that it viii sting and
hurt
There appears TO be absolutely no re-
gard on the part OF a certain group of
California legislators for the opinions or
interests CT the nation at large, or, in
deed. for the major sentiment Of Cali
fornia, as we are advised Of that senti-
ment by the newspapers published in that
State The one and persistent purpose
seems to be TO insult the japanese.
1T is a pity that any group Of small
caIiber politicians find it liz their power
TO make such a fuss. and to jeOpardize
so far the good name and the good sense
Of their State and their country"

acting with dignity under the strain.

with Indifference.
Tokyo. Feb. 6.-The passage by the
lower house Of the Nevada legislature
Of an anti-Japanese resolution was re-
ceived here with remarkable Indifference
The publication of the text OF the reso-
luton aroused active resentment only
in the columns Of the second-rate press.
The leading newspapers in commenting
on the resolution pointed out the fact
that Nevada was p small State and did
not represent the sentiment q the Amerl-
cen people.
The absence Of extended comment on
the situation IN the japanese newspapers
Is believed 10 be due TO the reported
action Of the California legislature In
