THE EXPLANATION OF SENA-
TOR ALDRICH.

Whatever view one may take Of the
explanation OF Senator Aldrich, OF his
defense against the charges Of Senator
Bristow, one thing Is entirely clear
The statement Of the Senate leader
has not settled the controversy The
friends of Senator Aldrich have been
quick to rush to his support and say
that his outlying has settled the
whole business, t'.at It has wiped the
foundations out from under Senator
Bristow and that the charges are left
without anything to base them on. On
the other hand, the critics OF Senator
Aldrich concede nothing and are tax
ing the position that Senator AIdrich
Is convicted OF the Bristow charges by
his own admissions
This being so. 1t. Is reasonable TO
suppose that We have not heard the
last of this controversy and that what
has happened thus far Is merely the
beginning Senator Aldrich IS expect

THOMAS P. CLEAVES, THEMAN

The mortal renal OF Thomas P
Cleaves have been carried away from
Washington, where, IN life, the man
Iabored so conscientiOusly and well,
but in the halls and committee rooms
of the National Capitol, IN the busy
offices Of the great departments, in
the massive District building, and in
the minds OF thousands IN this city
the memory of Thomas P Cleaves re
mains and VIII be cherished for many
years. both for the efficiency and value
Of the duties he performed and for his
charming and wholesome personality.
In almost every. great business or
organization there Is one compare
lively obscure person who carried the
burden. There are always fgureheads,
whose influence counts for more or
less. and who do more OF less of the
actual work, but behind them, modest,
steady, reliable, unherzlded. usually
stands some individual who really per
forms the bulk OF the labor in the
Senate Appropriations Committee that
individual was Thomas P. Cleaves. Ap-
pointed clerk OF the committee in 1873
by Senator Morrill,, he served eontinu-
ously until The time of his death. No

CIeaves was blessed with a personality
that drew people to him. He was
respected for his mental attachments
and beloved for his personal worth by
all who had dealings with him-and
during his thirty years of serv-
ice these mounted into the thousands.
The death of Mr. Cleaves Is felt
with particular keenness by the great
number of people of Washington who
knew him. He WAS always the friend
of the District of Columbia; in in
Vulnerable vsys and on iHnumerable
occasions he excrted his great influence
and used his large fund Of information
TO the advantage OF this community
when another might easily have neg
lected to do -. The reason Is found
i'm the fact that he was a broad, fair
minded man, and that he entertained
warm feeling for Washington and
Washiugtonians because Of his long
residence IN this city
