WASHINGTON, D. ©., March 4.—To-day, for the fourth time in the history of this great republic, a native-born citizen of Ohio, in the presence of untold thousands of his countrymen, and beneath the great bronze goddess who stands in her lofty place symbolic of the idea that created this proud nation, bent his head over the sacred book and took the solemn oath which bound him for four years to watch over and guard the welfare of the American people. It was an impressive, yet beautifully simple cere- mony that marked the accession of William McKinley, of Ohio, student, lawyer, Repre- sentative, Governor, but, best of all, one of the common people so dear to the Amer- ican heart, to the high office of President of the United States of America. There was no flash of gratified triumph in the Gark eye beneath the broad white brow that scanned the shouting, cheering multitude that confronted him on the broad terrace of the east front of the Capitol, but an ex- pression of humi(ity, mingled with realiza- tion of the heavy burdens he was about to assume, and of manly determination faith- fully to discharge the manifold duties of his high office as he bent his head and repeated in a clear voice the words: “I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of Presi- dent of the United States and will to the best of my ability, preserve, pro- tect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”’’ Thus did William McKinley gather from the hand of Grover Cleveland the reins of power and become President of the United States, the twenty-third of that grand line of rulers, chosen by the people of America. There have been many inaugurations in Washington, but in many respects that of March 4, 1897, will go down in history as ex- celling all that have gone before. The citi- Zens of the capital city worked to that end with @ degree of energy unknown even in this ceremony-loving community, and the Great popular demonstration of to-day was @ unique and shining success in every par- ticular. In beauty, in taste, in novelty, the Gecorations of the city were incomparably ¢*uperior to anything ever seen in Washing- ton; the magnificent body of regular United States troops was more numerous than any gathered since Grant's great display at the close of the war; seventeen sovereign States had their citizens in the line of parade and over sixty civil organizations helped swell its magnificent proportions. Along the broaa avenue, on every open space, were erected Grand stands that, instead of being disfig- urements to the scene, as has been the case in days gone by—mere scaffolds of rough 2 hea not only comfortably covered 4 of pretty architectural design, but were most appropriately and substantially dec. orated. ' The citizens had spent money with a ) Iiberal hand to beautify their houses, and h the aid of the thousands of flags of kind loaned by the National Govern- int, Pennsylvania, the great artery ave- ‘Se of the city, was turned into a rainbow of bright color, in which Old Glory predom- inated.

LOUIS-MARCH 4, 1897.-TWELVE PAGES. —— the day, moved rapidly forward. At 10:15 the mass of humanity packed around Mr. McKinley's quapters at the Ebbitt House parted right and le® before Troop A of | the Ohio National Guard, the famous black horse troop of Cleveland, which clattered up and formed in waiting for the President- elect. , Maj. McKinley entered an open carriage | drawn by foug wine-brown bays, and the Cleveland troops, their biack bear skin shakos nodding, fell in behind. In the car- riage with Maj. McKinley was the Senate Committee of Arrangements. It was only a step around the corner to the White House, but the processes moved slowly enough to give the crowd a good view of the President-elect, and he was cheated generously during his short initial ride. It was just 10:20 o'clock, or five minutes after he left the Ebbitt House, that Mr. McKinley, accompanied by the Senate Com- mittee, cohsisting of Senators Sherman and Mitchell, drove up to the north front of the White House, escorted by Troop A of Cleve. land. Maj. McKinley and his rty, entering the rotunda of the White ouse, were at once shown into the blue room, where they were joined immediately by President Cleveland and all the members of his Cab- inet, with the exception of Secretary Olney. Gen. Miles and Admiral Brown and Capt. Davis and Lieut. Sharp, aides, joined e presidential party. Meanwhile roop A moved outside the grounds, but left four troopers in waiting on the White House portico, of whom one was Mr. Webb Hayes, son of the ex-President. The Black Horse Troop of Cleveland took up its position on the north side of the avenue while the uadron of the Sixth cavalry from Fort Meyer came down the avenue at a trot and swung into position. As soon as the McKinley carriage entered the grounds, the first detachment Of the procession, cons'sting of a platoon of fift mounted police, moved down from the Ari- ington plaza and followed by the Governor's Island nd of fifty pieces turned down Fif- teenth street. The .battalion of United States Engineers wheeled in line and were followed by Gen. Horace Porter and 200 mounted aides. Then came the Marines, headed by the United States Marine Band. Then came the blue jackets, with their un- accustomed burden of canteens, aver- sacks and side arms, and trailing with them their boat guns mounted for shore service, Sex ( Made. $s The light battery followed, and when they Nee /Z o . | | had turned into Fifteenth street, halted Wy 44: ' Vb & under the shadow of the magnificent Treas- : Wf / a 3 | ; ury portico.

For fully twenty minutes there was not a move- ment of the magnificent line, save the wav. ing of the yellow plumes in the stiff breeze, ; or the flash here and there of the sun from a shifted word. Then came the clatter of an alde from the White Oaee, gme as he saluted Maj. Lebo, the latter e out to the front of the squadron and raised his sword. The long drawn “Hea-r-r-r,” “hea-r-r-r,”’ ‘“*hea-r-r- from each trodp commander rang out down the line. The officers moved apace in a solid bluecoated column to the center of the avenue. The ring of near! 2,000 iron hoofs on the asphalt filled the still air and the crowd cheered as the magnifi- cent column moved down towards Fifteenth street. Troop after troop passed the half filled reviewing stand before the White House until the last of the guides with his guidon snapping in the wind halted in line at the east gate of the White House. There was their comfort in the covered grand stands. The Executive Committee ad been at work all night and by morning there was a, double line of wire cable two miles inj, length stretched along both sides of the avenue on the line of march, which prom- | ised the most effective protection ever de-, signed to resp back the crowds from clos- ing in on the line of parade. The police like- wise had not been idle and gathered in a score or more of late arriving crooks. Over the stands in front of the White House and its two great flanking depart- ments, the Treasury and the State, War and hanging wreaths and flags and putting fin- ishing touches to the decorations of the day. Detachments of the regular troops to take part in the display were early abroad, ewinging along at a quick sip through the crisp air, easy and confident, in sharp con- trast to the more gaudy overcoat militia- men. Fakers were out early and in great force with souvenirs of every sort, mostly in the form.of badges, ‘“‘goldbugs,’’ gold McKinley medals and tiny American flags, whose rayid sale added to the carnival appearance of the scene, The seats were in great demand. The brilliant day sent the stock of the grand- stands up several points, and there was scarcely a seat to be had on any of the big stands, early every building along the line of march that had a window command- and these higher-priced eyries sold out slowly, many of them having their “for rent’ signals still fying when the parade had begun to form at the Capitol for the re- turn march to the White House. The prices asked had been phenomenal, $25 being the lowest for which a single win- dow could be had, while the price ranged from ‘that figure to $300 for a three-window room. Calvin Brice of Ohio paid $1,000 for an avenue room for a day at Willard’s, with luncheon added for a small party, and Secretary Carlisle a good price for one in the Postal Solegrage bullding. One of the happiest mortals in the city was a type- writer girl in the Corcoran building, who had a small room looking out on Fif- teenth street. She disposed of it for $150 for the day some weeks ago, when the prices of windows ranged higher than they did this morning. One of the jolliest conti ts that was scheduled to take part in the parade was the detachment of 500 blue jackets from the Atlantic squadron, who came up the river last night from Norfolk and, after breakfast on board the steamer, marched straight to their rendezvous in the rear of the White House... The stiff breeze flaunted the flags, banners and bunting in the air, and they gleamed in the warm, bright sun, adding pictur- esqueness to the long lane of Broad avenue from Treasury to Capitol, packed as it was with people. The regular troops which formed the es- cort of the Presidential ‘party to the Capitol began to form in front of the White House by 8 o'clock. The 17th Infantry was the first on the ground’‘and was soon followed by marines in storm coats, who swung up between the White House and the Treas- ury at a quick st and filed along the avenue west of F teenth street, where they were halted to make way for the ar- tillery, which came in at a trot and barked its guns in the square west of the old Corcoran Art Gallery. * Police filled the center of the street and the crowds packed the sidewalks almost to suffocation. At 10 o'clock a squad of licemen passed along theeavenue from ifteenth street to Seventeenth street and icked up the slack on the wire cable that ad been dropped at the street crossings. It was drawn tight and the avenue was thenceforth cut off from all but the police and the militar -.

As the Chaplain closed Vice-President Ho- bart addressed the Senate for the first time, speaking in tones as he delivered his introductory ad- dress. He said: Senators: To have been elected to preside over the Senate of the United States is a distinction which any citizen would prize, and the manifestation of confidence which it implies is an honor which I sincerely ap- Preciate. My gratitude and loyalty to the people of the country, to whom I owe this honor, and my duty to you, as well, demand such a conservative, equitable and conscientious construction and enforcement of your rules as shall promote the well being and pros- perity of the people, and at the same time conserve the time-honored precedents and established traditions which have contrib- uted to make this tribunal the most distin- Ruished of the legislative bodies of the world. In entering upon the duties of the office to which I have been chosen, I feel a pecu- liar delicacy, fem Il am aware that your body. with whom for a time, I will. be as- sociated, has had but a small voice in the reelection of its presiding officer, and that am called upon to conduct your delib- erations, while not, perhaps, your choice in point of either merit or fitness. It will be my constant effort to aid you, eo far as I may, in all reasonable expedi- tion of the business of the Senate, and I may be permitted to express the belief that Ruch expedition is the hope of the country. All the interests of good government and the advancement toward a higher and bet- ter condition of things call for prompt and positive ‘egislation at your hands. 0 ob- struct the regular course of wise and pru- dent legislative action after the fullest and freest discussion, is neither consistent With true senatorial courtesy, conducive ' to the welfare of the pecple, nor in compli- ance with their just expectations.

At the presiding of- ficer’s suggestion, Mr. Morrill, the patriarch of the Senate, was complimented with being the first to be sworn in. As the new Senators took the oath there , Was a hum of interest throughout the gal- ‘lery. No exact order wag observed, the oath being given to four Senators at one time. The names of Thomas C. Platt of New York and Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio were called together. With these fifteen new men were twelve of the old Senators sworn in for new terms. Meantime, while the oaths were being administered, Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Mc- inley sat talking in a low tone. It was clearly a most agreeable exchange, for the old and new Presidents smiled every now @nd then as they ncdded acquiescence to each other. It was noted that Secretary of Biate Olney and Secretary Lamont were not among the cabinet officers present, It was 1:05 p. m. when the last oath had been administered, and the formal exit be- &an, the Supreme Court Justices going first, then Mr. Cleveland and President McKin- ley and the officials following. Just before the official party withdrew Mra.

She walked some- what feebly and was given a large leather chair, immediately behind the_ platform from which her husband was to deliver the inaugural. Mother McKinley and the other members of the party. were shown seats just in the rear. A arasol was raised to protect her eyes from the glare of the sun. The crowd waited fifteen minutes more before the the head of the procession proper ap- peared at the door of the Senate wing and the closely packed multitude moved: for- ward as if thrilled by an electric shock. First came Mr. Wilson, Marshal of the District of Columbia, and Mr. McKenney, Marshal of the Supreme Court. The former does not look unlike Mr. Cleveland, and the latter is about the stature of Mr. McKinley, so that for an instant the crowd took them for the chief actors in the drama of to- day and a great shout went up: But when ne eee was apparent the cheeering sub- sided. 2 Hees ripe 3 them came Chief Justice Fuller and the Justices of the Supreme Court, their glossy black silk robes displaying the curves of their generous figures. Tesmedi- ately in their rear followed Col. Bright the Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, an the Senate Committee on Arrangements, in which the-tall, spare form and intellectual countenance of John Sherman, the new Premier, was conspicuous. Then came Mr. McKinley and Mr. Cleve- land arm in arm. Almost instantly they were recognized by the multitude that had been straining for. the first glimpse of them. The universal shout with which their appearance was greeted began with a ripple that ran down the platform, swell- ing as it went until it fell upon the sea of faces on the plaza and-broke into a thunderous roar that recoiled from the dome and rolled away through the avenues. As Mr. McKinley and Cleveland descended the steps and emerged upon the platform it was noticed that the crown of Mr. Mc- Kinley’s head reached only to Mr. Cleve- land’s eyes. The President-elect showed no trace of his recent illness. He held him- self splendidly. His Napoleonic head and his clear cut cameo-like features were soft- ened by the trace of a smile as he advanced along the platform with a confident air and elastic tread at Mr. Cleveland’s side. Mr. Cleveland now faced an inauguration “A.

As they walked down the platferm the yells and shouts became deafening and as he stepped upon the raised platform Mr. McKinley felt compelled to acknowledge the reception by bowing right and left. He then took a seat in the big leather chair. The press against the stand was so terrific that women screamed with pain and several fainted. Meantime, the procession from the Senate continued. The Senators, followed by mem- bers of the House passed on to their seats. Then came the dignified and pompous dip- aflame with ribbons, headed by the British Ambassador. The gold plate, red coats, horsehair plumes, high boots and shining swords were enough to pale the splendors of any spectacular drama.

Therefore I believe it necessary to devise a system which, without diminishing the circulating medium, or offering a premium for its con- traction, will present a remedy for those ar- rangements, which, temporary in their na- ture, might well, in the years of our pros- perity, have been displaced by wiser pro- visions, With adequate revenue secured, but not until then, we can enter upon such changes in our fiscal laws as will, while in- suring safety and volume to our money, no longer impose upon the Government the ne- cessity maintaining so large a gold re- serve with its attendant and inevitable temptations to speculation. Most of our financial laws are the out- growth of experience and trial, and should not be amended without investigation and demonstration of the wisdom of the pro- posed changes. We must be both sure we are right and ‘“‘make haste slowly.” If. therefore, Congress in its wisdom. shall deem it expedient to create a commission to take under early consideration the re- vision of our coinage, banking and cur- rency laws, and give them that exhaustive, careful and dispassionate examination that their importance demands, I shall cordially concur in such action.. If such power is vested in the President, it is my, purpose to appoint a commission of prominent, well informed citizens of different parties. who will command public confidence, both on account of their ability and special fitness for the work. Business experience and public training may thus be combined and the patriotic zeal of the friends of the, country be so directed that such a report will be made as to receive the support of all parties and our finances cease to. be the subject of mere partisan contention. The experiment is, at all @vents, worth a trial, and, in my opinion, it can but prove beneficial to the entire country. The question of international. bimetallism will have early and earnest attention. it will be my constant endeavor to secure it by co-operation with the other great com-| mercial) powers of the world. Until that) condition is realized, when the parity be- tween our gold and silver money springs. from_and is supported by the relative value of the two metals, the value of the silver already coined, and of that which may hereafter be.coined, must be kept constantly at par with gold by every resource at our e credit of the Government, | “of its currency, and the in- its obligations must be pre- ed. was the commanding verdict of the people and it will not be unheeded. conomy is demanded in every branch of the Government. at all times, but especial! in periods like the present depression of busi- nese and distress among the people. The sex st economy must be observed tn all public expenditures, and extravagance stopped wherever it is found and prevente.! wherever in the future it may devel- . If the revenues are to remain as now, the only relief that can come must be from décreased expenditures. But the pres- not become the permanent condi- of the Government. It has been our uniform practice to retire, not increase, our Standing obligations, and this policy must again resumed and be vigorously en- forced. Our revenues should always be large enough to meet with ease and prompt- ness not only our current needs and the pr'neipal and interest of the public debt, ut to make proper and liberal provisions for that most deserving body of public cred- itors, the soldiers and sailors, and the wid- | ows and orphans who are the pensioners of the United States. The Government should not no Sporunteses | lik “= ' by to run behind or increase its debt, in times e the present. Suitably to_ provide against this is the mandate of duty; the certain and easy remedy for most of our financial difficulties. A deficiency is_ine- vitable so long as the expenditures of the Government excéed its receipts. It can only be met by loans, or an increased revenue. While a large annual surplus of revenue may invite waste and extravagance, inade- quate revenue creates distrust and under- mines public and private credit. Neither should be encouraged. Between more loans and more revenue, there ought to be but one opinion. We should have more revenue, and that without delay; hindrance or post- ponement. A surplus in the Treasury cre- ated by loans is not a permanent or safe reliance. It will suffice while it lasts, but it cannot last long while the outlays of the Government are greater than its receipts, as has been the case during the past two years. Nor must it be forgotten that how- ever much such loans may temporarily re- lieve the situation, the Government is still indebted for the amount of the surplus thus accrued, which it must ultimately pay while its ability to pay is not strengthened but weakened by a continued deficit. Loans are imperative in great emergencies to pre- serve the Governmnt or its crdit, but a failure to supply needed revenue in time of peace for the maintenance of either has no justification. The best way for the Government to main- tain its credit is to pay ag it goes—not by resorting to loans, but by keeping out of debt, through an adequate income secured by a system of taxation, external or in- ternal, or both. It is the settled policy of the Government, pursued from the begin- ning and practiced by all parties and ad- ministrations, to raise the bulk of our reve- nue from taxes upon foreign productions entering the United States for sale and consumption, and avoiding for the most part every form of direct taxation, except in time of war. The country is clearly opposed to any needless additions to the subjects of inter- nal taxation, and is committed by its latest popular utterance to the system of tariff taxation. There cam be no misunderstand- ing, either, about the principle upon which this tariff taxatior shall be levied. Noth- ing has ever been made plainer at a gen- eral election than that the controlling prin- ciple in the rafsing of revenue on imports is zealous care for American interests.and American labor. The people have declared that such legislation should be had as will give ample protection and encouragement to the industries and the development of our country. It is, therefore, garnestly hoped and expected that Congress will, at the earliest practicable moment, enact reve- nue legislation that shall be fair, reason- able, conservative and just, and which while supplying sufficient revenue for public pur.- poses, will still beesigndally beneficial and helpful to every section, and every enter- prise of the people. To this policy we are all, of whatever party, firmly bound by the voice of the: people—a power vastly more potential than the expression of any political platform. The paramount duty of Congress is to stop deficiencies by the restoration of that protective legislation which has always been the firmest prop of the Treasury. The passage of such a law or laws would strengthen the credit of the Governmént both at home and abroad and go far towards stopping the drain upon the gold reserve held for the redemp- tion of our currency which has been heavy and well nigh constant for several years. In the revision of the tariff, especial at- tention should be given to the re-enact- ment and extension of the weereere prin- ciple of the law of 1890, under which so ereat a stimulus was given to our fore'gn trade in new and advantageous markets for our surplus agricultural and manufactured pro- ducts. The brief trial given this legislation amply — a further experiment and ad- Jitional discretionary pcewer in the making of commercial treaties, ‘the end in view al- ways to bé the opening up of new markets for the products of our country, by granting concessions to the products of other lands that we need, and cannot produce ourselves and which do not involve any loss of labor to our own people, but tend to in- crease their employment. The depression of the past four years has fallen with es- pecial severity upon the great body of the country, and upon none more than the hold- ers of small farms. Agriculture has lan- guished and labor has suffered. The re- vival of manufacturing will be a relief to both. No portion of our population is more devoted to the institutions of free govern- ment, nor more loyal in their support, while none bears more cheerfully or fully its proper share in the maintenance of the Gov- ernment or is better entitled to its wise and liberal care and protection. Legislation help- ful to the producer is beneficial to all. The depressed condition of industry on the farm and in the mine and factory has lessened the ability of the pou to meet the de- mands upon them and they rightfully expect that not only a system of revenue shall be established that will secure the. largest income with the least burden, but that every means will be taken to decrease rather than increase our public expenditures. Business conditions are not the most Statutes enacted in pursuance of its pro- visions, I shall endeavor carefully to carry them into effect. The declaration of the party now restored to power, has been in the st that of “opposition to all combi- nations of capital organized in trusts or otherwise, to contro! arbitrarily the condi- tion of trade among our citizens,”’ and it has supported “such legislation as will pre- vent the execution of al! schemes to op- press the people by undue charges on their supplies, or by unjust rates for the trans- portation of their products to market.” This purpose will be steadily pursued, both by the enforcement of the laws now in existence and the recommendation and support of such new statutes as may be necessary to carry it into effect. , Our naturalization and immigration laws should be further improved to the constant promotion of a safer, a better and a higher citizenship. A grave peril to the Republic would be a citizenship too fgnorant to un- derstand, or.too vicious to appreciate, the great value and benefit of our constitution and laws—and against all who come here to make war upon them, our gates must be promptly and tightly closed. Nor must we be unmindful of the need of improve- ment omens our citizens,- but with the zeal of our forefathers, encourage the spread of knowledge and free education. Illiterac must be banished from the land, if we shall atttain that high destiny as the foremost of the enlightened nations of the world, which under providence we ought to achieve. Reforms in the civil service must go on, but the change should be real and genuine, not perfunctory, or prompted by a zeal in behalf of any party, simply because it happens to be In power. As a member of Congress I voted and spoke in favor of the present law and I shall attempt its enforce- ment in the spirit in which it was enacted. The purpose in view was to secure the most efficient service of the best men who would accept appointment under the Government, retaining faithful and devoted public ser- vants in office, but shielding none, under the authority of any rule or custom, who are inefficient, tncompetent or unworthy. The best interests of the country demand this and the people heartily approve the law wherever and whenever it has been thus administered. Congress should give prompt attention to ? ae its effect upon an early election. Our fellow-citizens, who may 4 sagree with us upon the character of this legistation, pre- fer to have the question settled now, even against their preconceived views—and per- nape Settled so reasonabliv, as I trust and believe it will be, as Se paws great - manence—than to have further uncersaaae menacing the vast and varied business In- terests of the United States. in, t- ever action Congress may take will be n fair o rtunity for trial before the people : called to pass judgment upon it, and t is I consider a great essential to the t-f - and lasting settlement of the question = view of these considerations, I sha | pe it my duty, as President, to convene ongress in extraordinary session on Moa- day, the 1ith day of March, 1897. In conclusion I congratulate the country upon the fraternal spirit of the people and the manifestation of good will everywhere SO apparent. The recent election not only most fortunately demonstrated the obliter- ation of sectional or graphical met but to some extent also the prejudices which for years have distracted our eouncils and marred our true greatness as a nation. The triumph of the people, whose verdict is oar. ried into effect to- ay, js not the triumph of one section, nor wholly of one party, but of all sections and of all the people. The North and South no longer divide on the old lines, but upon principles and policies; and in this fact surely every lover of the country can find cause for true felicitation. Let us rejoice in and cultivate this spirit. It is ennobling and will be both a gain and blessing to our beloved country. It will be my constant aim to do nothing and permit nothing to be done that will arrest or ‘dis- turb this growing sentiment of unHy and co-operation, this revival of esteem and af- filiation which now animates so many thou-} Sands in both the old and the new antago- nistic sections, but shall cheerfully do everything possible to promote and increase words of the Chief Jus- Let me a the best of my ability, preserve, defend the constitution of the United States.”’ the restoration of our Amerigan merchant This is the obligation I have reverently Ns THE MAN WHO EXPECTS ‘TO BE POST MASTER.

RR THE MAN wiTu THE BADGES —From the Chicago Record, marine, once the pride of the seas in all the great ocean highways of commerce. To my mind, few more important subjects so im- peratively demand its intelligent considera- tion. The United States has progressed with marvelous rapidity in every field of enter- prise and endeavor until we have become foremost in nearly all the great nes of in- land trade, commerce and: industry. Yet while this is true, our American merchant marine has been steadily declining until it is now lower both in the percentage and tonnage and the number of vessels employed, than it was prior to the civil’war. Com- mendable progress had been made of late years in the upbuilding of the American navy, but we must supplement these ef- forts by providing as a proper consort for it a merchant marine amply sufficient for our own carrying trade to foreign countries. The question is one that appeals both to our business necessities and the patriotic as- pirations of a great people. It has been the policy of the United States since the foundation of the Government to cultivate relations of peace and amity with all the nations of the world, and this ac- cords with my conception of our duty now. We have cherished the policy of non-inter- ference with the affairs of foreign Govern- ments, wisely inaugurated by Washington, keeping ourselves free from entanglement, either as allies or foes, content to leave ur- disturbed with them the seitlement of their own domestic concerns. It will be our aim to pursue a firm and dignified foreign pol- icy, which shall be just, impartial, ever watchful of our national honor, and always insisting upon the enforcement of the law- ful nents of American citizens, everywhere, Our diplomacy should seek nothing more, and accept nothing less than is due us. We want no wars of conquest; we must avoid the temptation of territorial aggression. War should never be entered upon until every agency of peace has failed. Peace is preferable to war in almost every contin- gency. Arbitration is the true method of settlement of international as well as local or individual differences. It was recognized as the best means of adjustment of aifferences between employ- egs and employes by the Forty-ninth Con- gress in 18386, and its application was ex- tended to our diplomatic relations by the unanimous concurrence of the Senate and House of the Fifty-first Congress in 189. The latter resolution was accepted as the basis of negotiations with us by the British House of Commons in 1893, and upon our invitation a treaty of arbitration between the United States and Great Britain was signed at Washington and transmitted to ee Senate for its ratification in January ast Since this treaty is clearly the result of our initiative; since it has been recognized as the leading feature of our foreign policy throughout our entire national history— promising, It will take time to restore the prosperity of former years. If we cannot | promptly attain it, we can resolutely turn our faces in that direction and aid its re. | turn by friendly legislation. However ' troublesome the situation may appear, Con. | gress will not, I am sure, be found lacking | in disposition or ability to relieve it, as far as lee slation can do so. The restoration of confidence and the revival of business, which men of all parties so much desire, de- pend more largely upon the prompt, ener- getic and intelligent action of Congress than upon any other single agency affect. the situation. is inspiring, too, to remember that fo great emergency in the 108 years of our eventful national life has ever arisen that has not been met with wisdom and courage the American people, with fidelity to their best interests and highest destiny, and to the honor of the American name. These years of glorious history have ex- alted mankind and advanced the cause of freedom throughout the world ang immeas- urably strengthened the precio free in- stitutions which we enjoy. The people love and will sustain these institutions. The great essential to our happiness and prosperity is that we adhere to the prin- ey a upon which the Government was es- tablished and insist upon their faithful ob- servance. Equality of rights must prevail and our laws be always.and everywhere respected. We have failed in the discharge of our full duty as citizens of the great republic, but it is consoling and encourag- ing to realize that free & h, a free press, free thought. free schools, the free and un- molested right of religious liberty and wor- ship and free and fair elections afe dearer and more universally enjoyed to-day than the adjustment of difficulties by judicial methods rather than by force of arms—and since it presents to the world the glorious example of reason and ce, not passion and war, controlling the relations between two of the greatest nations of the world, an example certain to be followed by oth- ers, [ respectfully urge the early action of the Senate thereon, not merely as a matter of policy, but as a duty to mankind. The importance and moral! influence of the rati- fication of su a treaty can hardly be over- estimated in the cause of advancing civil- ization. It may well engage the best thought of the staesmen and people of every country, and I cannot but consider it fortunate that it was reserved to the United States to have the leadership in so grand a work. It has been the uniform practice of each President to avoid, as far as possible, the convening of Congress in extraordinary ses- gion. It is an example which, under ordi- nary circumstances and in the absence of a public necessity, is to be commended.

BY ALFRED HENRY LEWIS. You of the country who witnessed the friumph of McKinley over Bryan should mot in any retrospect of such history forget Cleveland as one who contributed most po- tently to that result. Elected by the Dem- ecracy in 186, and again by that same Democracy in 1892, in his narrow avarice and money-truckling he has been wittingly and willingly the lever of his party’s over- throw. Treason is unpleasant, yet it is none the less instructive, and even a traitor may point a moral and adorn @ tale. It is, there- fore, without apology I write of Cleveland, It is the more reasonable, too, that one ows much of him; for even as I write, between gusts of secret aid to Spain he is janning in a foggy fashion his own exal- tion to a fourth candidacy and a third Presidency in 1900; holding himself as that one of ones to whom the whole country must then turn. There has ever been error in accounts of Cleveland. They were either rotten with the flattery of some fulsome place-yearn- fine cuckoo, or wrong as the assault of a oe who attacked by any method. What follows will be the thgios pruned truth, Cleveland, a Jerseyman, was born in March, 1837. He will be 60 when his term expires. He was 48 when he come first to Washington, a dozen years ago. ‘Cleveland represents in his successes the victory of accident. He has had what roping men, feeling for a solution in the ao. call “luck.” Like Napoleon, Cleve- land calls it “destiny.” Let that go. It's ot of much moment what ane calls it, 60 hat it is perfectly understood. Cleveland as a youth drank eparingly at Learnine’s fountain. He was taught little of book sort. He knows little to-day. He could not name you twenty authors; has not read a dozen books; doesn’t know Robin Hood from Thomas, poet of that ilk, and ote lHttle of polite letters. wat 17, after performing briefly, his biog- faphy says, as “teacher” ina blind asylum— and he might teach the blind—Cleveland went to Buffalo. This wae in 1850. y the goodness of an uncle he lived and udied law. He was admitted in 1859. Later held a slight office for three years, and was defeated in his attempt to reach an- ther. ‘ By one sign you may know that Cleveland Was not a learned sage of law. He became eriff at Buffalo in 1870. No lawyer of igh breed will run for this office. There are other and more professional channels for his ambition. He will be Prosecuting At- torney, or Judge, but mark you, never a Sheriff. That office, with its hangman's work, its processes, its evictions, {ts levies and distraints, goes to another sort. No law- rer, thorough paced and bred, who enters y the front door to tread the middle aisle will think of it. Cleveland was a mere law bungler. And yet even this law ignorance shows Its fortunate side. He became Sheriff and kept the jail; and next, having, we assume, made an excellent record, losing none of his keys or his captives, he is seized on, made and instead of the county cells, Kelly who made Cleve- Mand Governor, and if there be a purgatory for sinners of politics he suffered for the nm. mmany; city against the country. »*‘Let’s take this fellow from Buffalo, ho’s been Mayor there,” said old John = . “Let’s nominate him for Governor. e doen't belong to either side.’’ They did as old John Kelly said, and then Conkling fought Garfield and the whole Republican party stayed at home on elec- tion day and Cleveland won over Folger by a shadow short of 200,000. This was luck, but it was likewise excel- lent advertisement\& The Democracy—until ‘Bryan's time—for thirty years hag never named anybody but a New Yorker for the Presidency. The Republicans have had more sense and more success, But the De- mMmocracy nevef until Bryan went beyond New York. Following Cleveland's Governorship, he was selected for the Presidential race, Gor- man elected him, landihge him winner by a throat-latch, and was barred from the White House within a-month after the in- auguration. Thus we behold the growing of Cleveland from Sheriff to President. This story is much quoted by some as illustrative of the sterling worth of America’s free institu- tions. With the thoughtful, however, its Aliuminative value itn that behalf is uncer- Jaln. ITI. Jones, of Nevada, once told me that of all whom he had met in high place Cleve- Gand was the most widely ignorant and » S&bundantly -dark. ‘hen he came to be een he had but the vaguest notion of overnment. He had never read the con- @titution of the country. He hasn't yet, till,.as he is at liberty to choose his au- thors, as well as his literature, one may Mot, perhaps, complain. s he siood to take hig first oath as President there were few in the thousands who listened and looked on who had not better, fuller knowledge of this Government than had Cleveland. But there were two matters appurtenant to the White House of which. Cleveland had heard; two powers to which he will- ingly turned. These were the veto and the patronage. Within a year from March 4, 188, his first inaugural, Cleveland had vetoed more bills than all of the Presidents who pre- ceded him, ‘What a study in egotism is this: what a misconception of duty! ington, the ternated valor an Cleveland Yet in one year, play ing with the tremendous power of veto like a child with a rattle, he had dealt death to more measures than had all thesy perese in the hundred years which went ore, To understand Cleveland as he was and is ~for he has changed mightily, and those who knew him a score of years ago wouldn’t know him now—one must remember the influence of money-getting on him. He was poor, without a dollar, when he came twelve ears ago. Now, he is rich to the point of millions, And it lms carved, and molded, and added to, and taken from, and worked him over, until Cleveland While not a better, is a different man from TS used him and lived he has away. Nor has he serve for its protection, LV. But to go back to Red Top. A coterte undle of suburban acres to the bought a northwest of Washington, cheap, Then they put Cleveland in as part owner of t ground floor. Docility and a Presidentia ada were considered equivalent for hig share. They trundled him Into the center of the tract. They built four walls and a roof about and above him. They named it Red Top, and left him to hatch values while they searched for purchasers. Washington is founded in its real estate values on snobbery. ‘There is a sort of toady—may his tribe decrease—who will pay a fancy price to inhabit a house built next to, for example, the President, They were conducted in droves to Red Top. They bought doughtily. At the close of these festivities in real estate Cleveland was aided to unload with the others, and reaped a profit of $130,400. This was his beginning. After his first term was over, still con- fident in his power to incubate real estate, he took a sand-blown waste at Buzzard’s Bay—100 acres, I believe. But the charm ha departed, An ex-President cannot hatch. So he sullenly built a high board fence all about his Buzzard’s Bay posses- sions and enriched it with signs: ‘“‘Keep out, by order of Grover Cleveland.” It was a war—Tammany against anti. | strong, away. labor penaey at the oar of small things. I've known him length in his small crampe —full sion, Aas a member of a With his coming to a second term, how- ever, prices at Buzzard’s Bay began to stir. His 100 acres commenced in their values to take. on pride-blown ciphers, and from acres quotations attached themselves to feet. New signs joined the old sullen man- date which told one to keep out and urged one to hasten to a real estate firm in Bos- ton and buy thereof. And multitudes took the advice; notedly Searles, that leader in Christian works and chief lobbyist for the Sugar Trust. It is of no avail to go over the long and multiplied trail of Cleveland’s money-get- ting, with all its windings and curious turns. It is all but impossible, too, be- cause time and again a Cabinet officer and a banker found often in his yacht and Cleveland’s company take Cleveland’s place as trustee, But whatever the amount, and whether in its heaping and sweeping together it comes from Red Top or Gray Gables, from bonds or stock deals or traction companies, or Warner Miller's wood pulp patents, or Nova Scotia coal, or Cuban iron, or what- ever its thousand sources, it’s an enormous sum for one to acquire as fruits of a capl- tal made up of money ignorance and noth- ing, in twelve years, and it has not failed to impress Cleveland and affect him. ‘ To-day his great reverence is for money; his profound respect is reserved for those who have it. Poverty is synonymous with ignorance; wisdom goes with wealth, and the best citizen is the best dressed citizen, with Cleveland. Come afoot to Washing- ton and you can’t see him; come in a pri- vate car, and youcan, Your honesty,.your worth; the goodness of your purpose, or the justice of your cause. will not avail unless they come in a private car. People are nothing to Cleveland; roperty is every- thing.: He would turn from a mere man ina moment. SpWl down a million dollars in gold, and the sight would suspetd the action of his mind and hold him spelibound for hours—cast him, as it were, into a trance of riches. Cleveland is not book taught, neither has he been taught by travel. He knows noth- ing west of Buffalo, nor south of the North Pennsyivania line. He has most of all no imagination. He has heard of a West: he has heard of a South, but the terms tell no tales to Cleveland. He can no more picture them -than he can form a conception of Asia Minor. He knows that silver comes from the West and Democratic majorities from the South; that is all he knows con- cerning them. What the West and South are; their needs, their rights, their aims, their strengths, loom but vaguely to him, lost in the fog of no imagination and what he doesn’t know. Cleveland knows New York and New Engiand a little, but not much, He has not seen many men. He has, however, seen a few a vast number of times—some of them too many-times. From these few he gets all his information. It is to be feared that + pare less truth than any man in the and, ‘ Cleveland has a smal! mind, but hard and retentive. After a fashion, it has a narrow strength, and while he learns slowly he re- members, not always, however, with profit. Me has no mental graces. He has no bent for art or°music. He would not know any pleagant difference between a Murillo and a three-sheet poster. He would have no preference for one of Schubert's serenades over “Maggie Murphy’s Home.”” He would rather talk than read, eat than talk, fish than eat. As a conversationalist he is rough, at times vulgar, often he loads his English with Slang... His taste is for rude enjoyment, and when he’s bent for pleasure he calls for his companions those who delight in the ex- cess of the physical. Any one of his @quck punts could be raided under the law of the nd. Cleveland is a man of impulses and in- stincts rather th of thoughtful conclr. sions. Would you ‘teach him anything, teach him through the eye. What he sees he knows; What he hears—unless it be to some ++ ag disadvantage—makes slight impres- on, He is easily deluded. He has in his office- giving rejected a man with a long gray beard as “too old.” Four days later the man returned with smooth and shaven chin, He was shorn of his long gray beard. Cleve- land, who had no remembrance of him, named him and was satisfied. Cleveland turns credulous, ready ear to slander. The commonest blackleg of party, one whose plaudit could not aid a man, can fear down your good reput with a word. Nor may the affirmations of twenty honest folk stand in your favor with Cleveland against the malice and mendactly of this one blackleg. Plattery is the most potent lever in the case of Cleveland. Those thrive with him best who flatter best. He is as amenable to the tickle of the sycophant as ever was Swine to cob. One may stick bills on him so it be with soft soapg As a result those who stay close to Cleveland are either cun, meng or servile. They all sing his praises, and never contradict. Somedof those about him are crafty and fawn ufon him to use him to their ends. Vilas is one of these. Others, like Thurber, are mere congenital bootlicks, fawners from birth. But honest natures— open, frank, wise men who dare tell him the truth—are soon brought to stay He wants none such near h'm. Cleveland delights in«the little, and will ainfully and hand the whole Dabney's Commis- jim-crow board of to write at 1,500 words—of the Sheriff of Buffalo or the Governor of #@Wtis at the Atlanta Exposition.

He knows that it means pain and fief and trouble and a cataract of curs. ut he goes. Disaster teaches your hog nothing. _ Cleveland is by nature a Tory. He has no instinctive conception of republicanism; ho knowledge native or acquired of the school to which free America belongs. He Sa Tory. Had he lived in the smoke blown day of Bunker. Hill his substitute Would have worn the red coat and fought at he foot of that celebrated eminence against arren and the others at the top. His inatinct is monarchical. Three times within three years he aligned himself with a throne. In Samoa, in Hawaii, and last in Brazil. He succeeded in Samoa, and this country shew with England and Germany, uphold a King in those far lands. He failed in Hawaii with his clumsy King- making and public opinion frightened him away from Queen il. Mendonca drvuve him backward with a laugh and a sneer in the case of Brazil. To-day his toryism is at the brakes. With Cuba bleeding at our very door, with a people and a Congress demanding her re- Ss tage sy | aes, Cleveland refuses. He sides with pain. Men ¢all Cleveland ungrateful. This is not just. He isn’t capable of an obligation, This is true personally, true politically. The home of his uncle, who sheltered him in his poverty and youth, lay under foreclos- ure within three years. The uncle dead; his daughter, unable to lift the load or save the place, sent to Cleveland for aid. It was no vast sum; not so much as he had been given ih this same house in the years he tries now to forget. Not one groat could she have. Not one dollar would he part with. The daughter of Cleveland’s forgotten benefactor will tell you, in Buffalo, this story tea In politics it is the same. hose who helped him most were most roundly re- buffed. The flatterer, the sycophant, the boneless Mugwump thrived; the friend who had built him went without reward; the laborer of party without pay. One could name a brigade of such. It was equally true as to States. Massa- chusetts, which never was and never will be Democratic, which had voted against Cleveland in the Electoral College, got thirty-seven consuls, beginning with Pat Collins, at $100,000 a year in London, and a Cabinet officer, to say nothing of Josiah Quincy. Illinois, Democratic for the first time since the days of Douglas, was given seven Con- sulships and a Cabinet place. Nc@® and again what men term his in- gratitude takes the guise of small tyranny. His resentments are worthy some James or some Charles of England. Here is an in- stance: “T expect to resign,” said Bissell one day. ae losing all my law practice staying ere,”’ Cleveland grumbled. It had been a case of “Shan’’ and “Grove” between him and his old partner, and might have reminded one of Dr. Holmes’ “Bill” and “Joe.” It aroused Cleveland’s peevish heat; the idea of Bissell’s resignation. Later he said: ‘Bissell, when do you expect to resign?” “Oh, not for some months,” replied Bis- sell. “‘My house tn Buffalo is_ rented. can’t get it back for some time.” This made a pleasant chance to play the small despot. tissell should be taught Cleveland’s power and his own dependent littlenees. Wilson was named to take his place without one notifying word to Bis- sell. Representative Straus knew of it, for Re hung eternally about both Cleveland and Wilson, and told Guthridge, a newspaper man. It was he who brought first word to Rissell, who thus discovered himself tum- bled bodily out of the Cabinet with about as much consideration and grace as attends the eviction of a pup from a basket. Such ex- hibitions of power cheer Cleveland mightily. In conjunction with these it might be per- tinent to recall that none of Cleveland's relatives come near him. He has a brother. He has a sister. Who hears of them at the White House? What letter from either was ever delivered there? Neither has come near the place since the last inaugural. Why? They know him. VIIt, To egotism and a coarse greed Cleveland adds the heart of a hare. None is more flightily timid in a physical way. Perhaps it was this that kept him away from the war when the Nation fought for its life in the ’60’s, and Cleveland, aged 23, in per- fect health, without wife’to weep or child to stay him, took care not to go. Once I went to Morgan, Senator from Alabama. I found him in his house, and his mood was colored with a deep phi- losophy. “Senator,” I said, “the paper wants me to interview you on the subject of Cleve- land.’’ “This is unfortunate,” said Morgan, “I would have personally no hesitation about expressing my views of Mr. Cleveland. But you must remember this is an administra- tion of retaliation. And I am here, not in a private way, but as the agent of a con- stituency, and to represent its interests. If Mr. Cleveland did not like what I said, and he might not, he would revenge himself by vetoing bills dear and necessary to my peo- le. a “However,” continued Morgan, in a broad, thoughtful fashion, “I might talk of other things which would improve and interest. Now, there’s the subject of a substitute I know that the law and the usage of arms permit a substitute. And yet morally I am obliged to regard a substitute as no better than a hired assas- sin. And a man who—possessing health and strength and a wide-open ability to go to the war in person—will hire a substitute is an assassin and a.coward, too. There are two occasions whith do not in decency al- low of an agency or open to a proxy. One is when men marry and when men fight. A man should wed his wife and fight his foe in person. There is no room for substitutes.”’ Much more did the excellent Senator say and I heeded with interest as I recollecte that when the justly jealous draft sought Cleveland out, he sent a substitute. I re- minded Morgan of it. “True, true,” remarked Morgan, with an air of fine meditation. ‘I had almost al- ‘lowed it to slip my mind. One of my sad reflections, by the way, is that I may have killed the President’s Substitute. My regi- ment fought more than oncé against the one which carried the President's substi- tute, and I would dislike, as affairs have turned with us, to believe I had done him any harm,” When Cleveland leaves Washington for Buzzard’s Bay or ‘“ducks,”’ he skulks se- cretly from town. His coming back, as to its date, is profoundly covered from a world’s knowledge. When a year ago he returned from Buzzard’s Bay chanced to be at. the station. The rabble of which I was part knew nothing of Cleveland's com- ing. The train drew up. Cleveland de- scended and approached. the gate. There were only a few of us to be pleased and to cheer. As he came through the gate, twenty secret service spies, there for that brave work, at once stepped from their piaces amone us common folk and cordoned our President and protected him to his car- riage, It was a eplendid pageant; it made us proud, During the last three years a ring of sentry xes has sprung up about the White House. The Presidential olice force has grown to twenty-six men. Every night three of these gg pervade the White House corridors, armed to the teeth. More are in the grounds, Then the President can sicep. it costs a day, which makes it high-priced slumber When Cleveland goes to Woodley an spurred detective, with a guardian. as flaccid as his wit, was a mirror to Cleve- land when ‘he said in England that the American people were a turbulent and un- ruly brood, an Cleveland to kee word “ruler.””’ That is the Cleveland idea.

His cuckoos, as they fan and fawn and flatter him, assure him of this, and he believes it. He has said as much. Every defeat the Democracy has suffered since 1893 serves as proof to him and warns him with a mild pleasure, as he sees reflected in the. black returns his popularity. “Bee what happens when I am not running,’ he says, and draws a glow from party defeat like an inspiration. It was this that taught him that patron- age was his, not his rty’s. And he used it to please himself; to buy his way with Congress and as jewels wherewith to deck his courtiers. There are but two keys which go with the Government; one is to the Treasury, the other to the jail. But Cleveland's instinct is for bolts and bars. He hates hates newspapers, he hates lights.. He has sworn—this is a fact—the entire State De- uestions, he partment, during his Queen Lil imbecilities, to give out no information. Cleveland holds that a President is a Bayard, with an Americanism d needed a strong ruler like them in check. Mark the In his egotism Cleveland plays the tyrant, and ignores the people. He will turn Congressmen from his door until they tire of coming. He didn't know one in ten of the Democrats in the House at the close of the last Congress. They wearied of coming to be Thurbered out of doors, and at last stayed away. No claim is strong enough to win entrance fo him against his whim. Within three days after the repeal of the Sherman law, wherein Voorhees and Mills had periled their political lives to do his will, he refused to see them. The same day, however, he would and did see the sleek negro, Taylor. This last Iil- lustrates a phase of Cleveland’s supersti- tion—a*commodity whereof he fairly drips. Taylor is a fashion of black mascot. In Cleveland's first reign he named Taylor for Liberia. When Harrison beat him at the end of his term, Taylor, in the equa- torial exuberance of his nature, wrote Cleve. land to be of good cheér. Taylor could see with the eye of tropical prophecy that in four years more—’92 levelan would again be named and win over the country a the grace of heaven over a camp meet- ng. When Cleveland was elected in ’92 he re- called Taylor as a black Blijah, albeit his walks were far from holy. e named him Minister to Bélivia. Morgan of,the Commit- tee on Foreign Relations would not report the nomination. a There is another flustrative story thar might be told to tndicate how close and warm a wire Cleveland believes exists be- tween him and the powers above, Cockrell of the Senate could tell you this. Once when an office to which army offi- cers of a certain rank might aspire was va- cant and forty applicants were in the field, an officer was suddenly named whom no body knew. He had not asked for it; no one had urged him, but he had got the place. Ceckrell and Vest, Ifke all the other Sena- tors, had’ a candidate. The naming of this unknown aroused Cockrell’s cunosity. A few Gaye later he asked Cleveland as to this olficer., The great man beamed. No one had recom- mended him. Cleveland had never seen him —never had heard of him. “But,” said Cleveland, looking at Cock- rell with his vague, dimy,, but deeply im- pressive air, and lowering his voice as one who deals with the occult, not to say the awful: “I was reading the army list one night, with nothing particular’in view, and as my eyes rested on this man’s name it struck me as if by revelation that he was the one to select for this thinking of him for a and there he is.” Cleveland here looked as if full of the triumph of a new witchcraft all his own. Cockrell said nothing. p a But one might go on for a year like this. I ‘might tell how his Cabinet fears him; how it has assembled, and neither message nor President came from Woodley; how the Cabinet dawdled about in dark ignorance an hour wondering “why Cleveland doesn’t come home,” and at last went back to its desks no wiser. There was a telephone to Woodley, too, and not one of them dared ring it. The next day it was learned that “the President had stepped on a gravel and sprained his ankle,’ already painful with out. “ Col. Morrison once told Olney, “This is the dirtiest administration I ever saw in Washington.’ And yet the head of it wants a third term in 1900. Come to Washington and learn for the first time the littleness of piracy. That lesson is over? day.

Cleveland’s inconsistency would shine ott in tariff. Poucher, the appointee of the New York, would come to the Ways and Means, Committee with a letter from La- mont to Wilson and a mission to lobby a tariff on barley malt. Sherman Hoar, another Mugwump pet of the Administra- Zoston, would be there to lobby a tari on burlaps, bagging and a: twine. In the same hour Cleveland would refuse to appoint one Donnelly United States Mar. shal at Chicago, because he had once lob- bied at Springfield for the Illinois Central] road. Cleveland himself, with Carlisle, was doin schedule on sugar, And when he coul he failed to s'gn the bill for ten days, ana gave the longest possible limit of law to the trust to run in sugar free. That ten. day “pout” cost the Treasury $10,000,000. at has been the record of this reform magistrate? the great advantage of Benedict.

There were none during Harrison's reign. Cold he was; unsocial he was, an unlovely soul at best, but honest was Harrison end clear as ice. When Cleveland came in with Carlisle the ‘bond wolves began to snap and snarl about tho gold. Carlisle intended in the early summer of '98 to do as Manning did in 'S. He told Vest and he told Cockrel] and he told others that’he would pay silver and enforce the law as late as the ernoon of the day when Cleveland took hig pro- nunciamento from him, wrote it over, crossed out silver, and made Carlisle say that he would pay gold—nothing but gold— while a dollar glittered in his till. That wag all the bond ring wanted. They have bled three bond issues out of thg Government since then. XI. : But these are the big weéds of present government. The little ones flourish as rank and deep. The lighthouse tender example has not been thrown away. Twenty years ago they robbed the Gov- ernment with a gun—the blunt and burl method of the footpad. Now they bi they embezzle, they larcenize by indirection while the public looks the other way. Even in that hour of ruder robberies, however,they drove Williams from the Cabi- net because his wife rode in a landaulet at the expense of the Government. Whilliams lived too soon. He should have waited for his portfolio until now.’ To-day more than one Cabinet caller drives in a carriage paid for and maintained by the people. e above may s @ ray on one who will run for the Presidency as long as he lives. It should be, for the cause, interest- ing.

BROKER OAKLEY’S SPREE. A Woman Was With Him When He Died in San Francisco. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 4—The sudden death of John M. Oakley, a well- known Pittsburg broker, created a sensa- tion at the Palace Hotel, where he has been staying for several days. Oakley arrived from Los Angeles on Sunday with a female companion, registering at the hotel as “Countess Espanola, maid, valet and cour- ler,”’ explaining that he was the courier, anid that the “Countess Espanola’ was real. Yy a Spanish Princess traveling incognito. During the three days they were at the Palace, the physicians gay that both man and woman were in a continual state of in- toxication.

Then the Victim Turned Up, So the Story-Teller Is Arrested.’ Sam King, a negro, went to the house of John Smith, at 14288 North Twelfth street, Wendesday and told Smith’s mother that her son had fallen off a horse and become so covered with dirt she wouldn’t recognize him. John had sent him for another suit of clothes. Mrs. Smith knew King and, belleving his story, gave him the clothes, which were valued at $15. Later in the day Smith returned home and denied having fallen off a horse or having sent. King for the clothes. King was arrested Wednesday night, and the clothing was recovered.

Business has been fairly active since the first of the year, but a quickening influence was felt, as March 4 drew near.

She was unsatisfactory because she was in- audible. Mr. Hartwig's Romeo is a fa- miliar stage figure. ‘The Wife of Scarli,”’ a three-act translation from the Italian, followed the balcony scene. It ig a weari- some domestic drama, all about one infdel- ity of an advocate’s wife. It ts realistic because the family washing is exposed, and the price of turnips is discussed as side is- sues to the absorbing theme of adultery. The sentiment of the play is coarse and nasty. A woman with a 10-year-old daugh- ter is false to her husband. Her lover is her husband's protege. He is intended by the author to be a fine fellow, the woman is intended to be an interesting creature, and the husband is intended to be a model of magnanimity. In truth the lover is a young cad who defiles his benefactor’s hearth because it is easy and tmexpensive; the woman is a shade worse than Abigail, the wife of Nabal; the husband is @ gar- rulous ass. He forgives his wife because their child advises forgiveness. It ig not a nice play, and it isn’t interesting. Miss Nethersole’s work in it is creditable because it is realistic, and unsatisfactory because she has a stupid part. The other members of the company did as well as could be expected. But all of them, Miss Nethersole included, should learn to epeak so they can be heard. Annette Lelanda, a bright and pretty child, had the role of Mrs. Scar- li's daughter. She promises to becoffie an actress of merit. “Camille” was given et night and all the seats in the house were filled.

The resignation of Sherman as Senator from Ohio, preliminary to taking the State portfolio, and preliminary also to the appointment of Mark Hanna as his successor, brings to a close one of the most disgraceful deals in American polit- ical history. Immediately after the election of Mc- Kinley it was assumed that Hanna would go into the Cabinet. ever, that he preferred the Senate, and deubtiess McKinley preferred him there to boss a body which has been accus- “tomed to stand upon its rights and dig- nity as against executive interference or encroachment. Accordingly, Sherman, who is evidently in his dotage, was of- fered the post of Secretary of State, and, being near the end of his Senatorial term, and being duly impressed by Mc- Kinley and Hanna with doubt of his re- election, accepted the tender, Thereupon began a struggle to force the Republican Governor of Ohio to appoint Hanna to fill the vacancy. Probably the true history of that fight will never be written, but that it was marked with in- trigue, bargain and sale, and all the in- famies of boodle politics, there can be no doubt. It is known that Hanna won, finally, by a corrupt arrangement with Boss Cox of “the dead man's corner’ of Cincinnati, o —- ‘ It rem@ins to be seen how far Hanna control the Senate. He will be po- tent to the end of his patronage. After that, we think, the dignity of the Senate Will assert itself. ———@- — -—— THE SILVER REPUBLICANS. Immediately after the defeat of Mr. Dubois in the contest for re-election as Senator from Idaho, the Post-Dispatch expressed the opinion that the result wag @ logical one. The logic of it, as was then pointed out, grew out of the fact that Dubois, although a pronounced advocate of bimetallism, ‘persisted in maintaining & connection with that party which won the last national campaign as the advo- cate of the gold standard. The failure of the effort to force the Idaho Democrats and Populists to support a Republican Bo unexceptionable personally and offi- cially as Mr. Dubois, and the support by nearly all the Democrats in the Legis- Jature of the Populist candidate, was in a high degree significant. It meant that such men as Dubois could not expect to Jead the silver party while remaining in ‘aesociation with the gold party. ' It is evident that this view has im- preseed itself upon Mr. Dubois himself. in the. Senate debate on the bill for an international monetary conference, Mr. Dubois said: “I say to my former Repub. ican associates, that silver Republicans have left you for good. You need not lay the flattering unction to your souls that they will return to .you. Where one re- turns ten will leave you to come to us. You will fool no one by your international “conference.” This is a burning of the bridges. ‘And Senator Cannon of Utah spoke in the #ame strain. The people are often quicker to see the logic of politics than are their leaders. Lincoln had this experience in getting out of the Whig party into the more ad- vanced thought and movement of his day. The Republican leaders in silver States cannot worship at two altars. ts AON. Sod 5 og The stirring lines of Ella Wheeler Wil- cox may well be applied to the big pro- cession in Washington to-day: “However the battle is ended, Though proudly the victor comes With fluttering fags and prancing nage And echoing rojl of druma, Still truth proclaims this motto, In letters of living light: No question is ever settled Until it is settled right.” ' While Judge Murphy censures sensi for carrying pocket-books conspicuously, - Judge Peabody advises all ladies to carry deadly weapons and shoot down every criminal who attempts to snatch their property, No doubt the pocket-books will wetill be carried , but the pocket pistol should perhaps be delayed a little for the sake of inmocent bystanders.

As a rule, interest is concentrated upon the Incoming of the new ‘Pres- ident and not upon the outgoing of the old. But it is a significant fact that to-day derives {ts chief importance, in the cyes of at least half the American people, not from the fact that McKinley becomes President, but from that other fact that simultaneously Grover Cleveland goes out of public office and public Vite. With the great party which lifted him from obscurity and heaped honors thick upon him, there ig more rejoicing over his exit than there ever was over any sup- posed triumph that it won through him, . : With this event closes the blackest chapter in the history of the Democratic party. That party has encountered all'the yicissitudes of political warfare. It has won great victories. It has rendered inestimable public service. It has t a ing, ; ‘ met defeats that seemed crushing, It has gone astray séveral times on public 1 questions of vast moment. But until, in an unfortunate hour, it linked its for- tunes with those of Grover Cleveland, it had never for any length of time swerved from its high functions as the party of the plain people, It had num- bered among its leaders some of the greatest statesmen that the country has produced. Under Cleveland it was led into the camp of the enemy, and when it refused to sanction the infamous alliance, it was shamelessly betrayed by the man whom it had honored as no other American had ever been honored | by a political party. Grover Cleveland began his political career as a Democrat. He ends it a despised Hessian of Plutocracy, his brow branded: deep with the mark of the traitor, while his pockets bulge with the price for which he sold himself and betrayed those who had trusted him, In him—to its shame be it said— Democracy lifted up before the peoples a name that will be written in history beside those of Judas Iscariot and Benedict Arnold. How this career was thus rounded out—how this strange metamorphosis was brought about—is worth inquiring into briefly as the chapter ends and the book is closed. When in 1884 the Democratic party set aside Samuel.J. Tilden, Horatio Sey- mour, Allan G. Thurman, Thomas A. Hendricks and Thomas F; Bayard to make place at the top for Grover Cleveland, it took what Benjamin Disraeli described as “a leap in the dark.” It knew nothing whatever of Cleveland except that he had been elected Governor of New York by an enormous miajority. It did not take the trouble to inform itself that this majority was due not to the merit or pop- ularity of Cleveland, but to the Folger fight in the Republican ranks, In the alli- ance between the South and New York which then controlled the Democratic party the understanding was that a New Yorker should always lead, So the National Convention at Chicago in 1884 accepted Cleveland without knowing anything about him, because he had been elected Governor of New York by a big majority. In the campaign of 1896 the Democrats were sneered at because they had taken for their candidate “a young and unknown man.” Ten times as much was known of Bryan when he was nominated as was known of Grover Cleveland in 1884. By an extremely narrow margin Cleveland was elected President of the United States. When he entered upon that high office he was beyond comparison the most ‘ignorant man that had ever filled it. He had seen almost nothing of the country in which he lived. He knew none of the party leaders. He knew nothing of political principles and policies, or of political history, except what he had picked up at second hand from Daniel Manning and Daniel Lamont, the lat- ter a protege of Tilden’s. He had never been in Washington until he went there to be inaugurated. His ideas of the relations between Congress and the Execu- tive were such as might have been entertained by the Akoond of Swat—and such ideas as he started out with have been little changed since. Before he had been in office a year he was at outs with every leader that his party had in the Senate or House, and Executive influence had substituted for these leaders a set of syc- ophants of the Vilas-Dickinson type. Long before his first term ended, Sen- ators and Representatives and all Democrats who were brought much in contact with him—except of course his little circle of favorites—had found him out and were hostile to him. But while Mayor of Buffalo and Governor of New York he had discovered that, until a man is found out, a knack of phrase-making goes a long ways in fooling the people. The prosperity of “Public office is a public trust” con- vinced him of the power that lies in such phrases, and he found frequent occa- sion to put them forth to tickle the ears of the groundlings. It is to be said, however, in fairness that during his first term Mr. Cleveland was a Democrat, so far as his knowledge of public questions extended and so far as he gave rein to his sympathies. He went out of office leaving behind him a solemn warning of the dangers that lie in “the communism of wealth.” It was during the interval between 1888 and 1893 that he ceased to be a Democrat and went over bag and baggage to the camp of Plutocracy. He was a partner dur- ing that period in one of the great firms of corporation lawyers that find a congenial habitat in New York City. Whitney ‘“‘worked” him through Lamont and, in conjunction with Broker Benedict, initiated -him into the mysteries of making money by getting in the ground floor, and of making more money by circumventing the and “standing in’ with those who are supposed to administer the law. By the time the campaign of 1892 came around, he had become as satisfactory a tool as Wall Street could work with— especially as he had not yet been found out by the people. on law There is practically no doubt that Harrison was turned down and Cleveland elected in 1892 by the money influences that center around Wall Street. There is hardly any doubt that before his nomination and election Cleveland gave, or his friends gave, satisfactory guarantees. And Plutocracy was not unaware of the advantage of having its work at Washington done by the Democratic party in- stead of by the Republican party. By that arrangement there could be no effec- tive opposition, The Republican party has been tied up with Plutocracy since the administration of Grant. There was danger in the Democratic party if it should remain the party of the people. Through Cleveland thé Whitneys, the Pierpont Morgans, the Rothschild-Belmonts, the Havemeyers and the rest got control of the Democratic party organization, and the country soon witnessed the shameful spectacle of a party which throughout its whole history had been bat- tling against the money power and resisting its encroachments doing its dirty work with a recklessness and audacity which the Republican party itself would never have dared to show in face of organized opposition. This work began at the Chicago Convention of 1892. It was friends of Mr. Cleveland, who were in hourly consultation with him over a special wire to Gray Gables, who brought about the straddle of the money question in the platform of that year, It was these same friends who dictated the straddle of the tariff question which was stricken out of the platform when it was reported to the con- vention. The argument, which was urged hour after hour in the platform com- mittee-room by Bayard, Vilas, McPherson and the rest, was that the money question should be eliminated in order that the battle might be fought out on the tariff question, In spite of their endeavor“to straddle the tariff question also, the Convention forced a square issue on the tariff, and on that issue Cleveland was elected. No sooner was he elected than he retired to the background the tariff question, on which his party was united and on which he had won a great victory, and brought to the front at a special session of Congress the money ques- tion, on which he knew that his party was divided and on which his personal representatives had urged a straddle at Chicago for this very reason. That thi¢ was deliberate, premeditated treachery to the Democratic party there is little doubt among Democrats to-day. That it was carrying out an ante- election bargain with Wall Street there is abundant reason for believing. The repeal of the Sherman law, the decision to pay out gold only on “coin” obliga- tions, the raids on the Treasury which were thus prepared for and made success- ful, the bond issues, the attempt to retire the greenbacks and Treasury notes fn order to strengthen the grip of the national banks, and the conduct of the Ad- ministration in the campaign of 1896, when it acted as the avowed ally of the Republican party after that party had accepted the Wall Street yoke, are not otherwise explainable. What was the motive or inducement? This is to be found partly in the sodden egotism of an ignorant man lifted to high public station through a series of accidents and roused to obstinate self-assertion by the opposition of men ‘whom he looked upon as a sort of political serfs. But there are certain facts which point—to the shame of the country be it said—to a still baser motive. When Cleveland entered upon the Presidency twelve years ago, he was prac- tically without a dollar. He goes out of it with a fortune which is not estimated even by his friends and apologists at less than one million dollars and which is believed by many to amount to several millions. The Post-Dispatch will not say that this is unexplainable, but in the absence of explanation, and none has been offered ao far, it is damning. It is without precedent in the history of Presidents, The slow moving finger of scorn points inexorably to the party leader who enters office poor and leaves it rich, while the party which trusted and hon- ored him is torn asunder with the feuds which he forced into pernicious activ- ‘ity at the instigation of its enemies. s)4 .

She di- rects the individual to expectorate, while the profession who has charge of his physi- cal welfare, wants to force him to transfer this dead matter to the stomach to deprave the gastric juice, aad further harm the sys- tem. | And why do the health boards want to prevent people from spitting? Simply be- cause of the unfounded assertion that the dried sputum of consumption is the medium of contagion. If there is any truth in the germ theory of consumption,which there is not, there are no better antiseptics than sunlight and fresh air. They will render any amount of sputum innocuous.

Says a well-known local writer on finance: “How an industrial trust threatens to dis- lodge the farmer or the artisan from his independent position it is difficult to imagine.” Imagination is not a necessary quality of financial writing, nor, indeed, is it needed in consideration of this matter, Let us proceed without it. : The Dressed Beef Trust, or “Chicago Big Four,” has wholly denied to the farmer who raises cattle or hogs any independent posi- tion whatever, In the East and South it has completely destroyed this part of the fafm- ers’ business, depriving agriculturists of all may raise. In the West it fixes the prices for cattle and hogs, which farmers must accept or leave their stock unsold. This price has of late been ruinously low, but the con- sumer of the dressed beef purveyed by the trust has not profited by the pinching of the producer. This is but a single instance of a trust which affects the farmer materially. As for the artisan, his case against trusts was well set forth by the testimony in the recent Lexow investigation. The Sugar Trust, the Coal Trust, the Rubber Trust, the Cigarette Trust, were all shown to have limited avenues of employment by restrict- ing competition. There can be no independ- ence for the artisan whenJn his own trade there is but One employer. Every class of society suffers from the domination of the trust, but the farmer and the artisan most of all, “A GOOD THING. ‘ The “Unseen Power.” From the Springfield (Mass,.) Republican. It would be interesting to know what hap- pened in the midst of the New York Trust investigation to change the spirit of Sena- tor Lexow’s work. He is said to have started in with “real fervor.” His manner was lordly, and he seemed to desire toe frighten the witnesses, if possible, with his imperious “Answer the question!’ But a change came over the man somewhat sud- denly. His attention wandered, he joked. and chatted, and allowed the witnesses to “kill time” with long explanations and un- called-for statements. “It was freely hinted,” says a writer in the New York Evening Post, ‘‘that the little chairman had been ‘called off,’ and that the proceedings from then on were merely formal” To those who have become accustomed to looking for the “unseen power” back of political moves in New York, the explanation does not seem surprising. The investigation be- gan in a game of politics, and it is not strange that it should end In the same way, They Stood in November. From the New York Journal Henry Watterson calls on the Democrats of the country to stand by their guns.

CARSON CITY, Nev., March 4.—For the last few days there have been persistent rumors that Corbett’s old stomach trouble has returned, and that the champion and his trainer are worried about it.

William A. Garesche, the attorney, has sustained the family reputation for quickness in resenting insults, real or fan- cied, by thrashing Alfred G. Vorschimer, and breaking all the glass out of the doors of the Garesche legal sanctum on the fifth floor of the Insurance Building. From all accounts the fight was short, quick and decisive. There was a scramble, a push, a few blows, a shower of shattered glass, and then Mr. Vorschimer took the ele- vator and a bee line for the nearest surgery to have the swelling on’ his eye reduced as quickly as possible. The little mill was pulled off Wednesday afternoon in Mr. Garesche’s office, which igs at the east end of the hallway. It was wit- nessed by J. Wilton Cunningham, the artist whose studio is next door, and a flock of students, boys and girls, from a commercial college at the west end of the hall. The editors of the Sporting News on the next floor below must have been in-a trance, because the fight was over and the princi- pals gone before news reached the office. Then they sent the office boy up to find out about it. Mr. Cunningham says he is thinking of preserving the event for future generations by painting a picture of Mr. Vorschimer trying to hug Mr. Garesche in vain endeav- ors to avoid the short-arm Fitzsimmons blows which were for a moment rattling upon his defenseless head. Mr. Vorschimer is nota boxer, but Mr. Garesche is. He has been ever since he was a student at George- aga.n _town College, where he won his first lau- rels «.S a gentleman pugilist. That was some time in the 70s. Mr. Garesche got into a difficulty Mwith a big fellow named Moore from East Maryland. Moore had the whole college more or less in terror until Garesche turned up. The cause of the fight is forgotten, but in any event it was ar- ranged with due formality. Each man had his seconds. They went to the place where such affairs were usually conducted and had it out. Garesche licked his big oppo- nent thoroughly and was until his gradua- tion the hero of the college. He comes of fighting stock, all his imme- diate relatives having the reputation of be- ing ready at any time to resent offense, though they have never been accused of seeking a fight for the sake of fighting. As nearly as can be learned the fight with Mr. Vorsch'mer was in a)manner provoked by him. He had visite@ Mr. Garesche’s office to talk over affains relative to the estate of Mrs. Hopkins, who is Vorscheim. er’s mother-in-law. Mr. Garesche has charge of the property and resented the interfer- ence of Mr. Vorschimer. The discuss‘on grew heated, and Mr. Garesche ordered the other gentleman out of his office. The way out is rather intricate, as it is obstructea by desks, a high railing with a trick lock, and finally the office doors, which open in- ward. Mr. Vorschimer’s retreat was so slow and dignified as to.suggest insolence, and a challenge, which was more than Mr. Gar- esche could take from any man, so he pro, ceeded to dssist Mr. Vorschimer, who in return struck at the lawver. It was all over then except the ‘awarding of the final decision... Mr. Vorschimer was jammed up against the office doors, which are half glass. The big panes were smashed to flinders and the fight carried out into the hall. Mr. Garesche is agbit hard of hearing, so Mr. Vorschimer raised his voice consider- abiy. This broyght out quite an audience to witness the final round of the affair. Neither of the gentlemen cared to discuss the event Thursday, saying that it was a purely personal matter, and was all ended now. They did not consider it proper to re- vive it agin. a |GHANGES IN FRDBRAL JOBS WHAT THE ADVENT OF M’KINLEY MEANS TO THIS CITY. —_—--—---- -——- SWEEP OF CIVIL SERVICE. Only Those Who Can Well Afford It Will Be Displaced by the Administration. 2p > Several hundred Federal officeholders in the Postoffice building are to-day congratu- lating themselves over the knowledge that they hold their positions under the’ new Cw Service rules, and cannot easily be disturbed by the incoming administration. _— inauguration of McKinley naturally brings to prominence the offices he has at his bestowal, and causes speculation as to who will get out and who will come in. In St. Louis there are only afew offices over which the President has now @irect control. The small number of positions is in a measure compensated by the large salaries that go with them, and the pleasant Surroundings which are a sort of pre- requlisite , The biggest position on the list is that of, Postmaster, which is now held by Mr. James L. Carlisle. The office pays $6,000 a year and recuires a bond of $500.00. It is a pleasant position under a friend!y admin- istration, and is much sought after. It is a foregone conclusion that Mr. Car- lisle must get out, but the knowledge that this is so does not disturb that gentleman in the least, and he is not worrying over his future prospects. He says he has not as yet made any plans. His first assistant, Mr. W. H. Little, who went from the Secretarvship of the City Council’ to his present $3,000 sit, will also lose his head. How he feeis about it is a matter of speculation, as he is visiting in New Mexico. He has not been well for some time and was compelied to go away. to recuperate. The secretaryship to the Postmaster, now held by Doug Caruthers, is on the Civil Service.list and may be let alone. The new administration may find ways and means of removing Mr. Caruthers, but will not have the power to dictate who shall secure the position. The only other pastoffice position the President has to give away is that of cash- ler, now held by David H. Hayes at a Sal- ary of $2,600 a year. Mr. Hayes is in the peculiar position of being anx‘ous to get out of office, believing he has something better in sight. Mr. Hayes is a son of ex- Postmaster Hayes and hopes President Me- Kinley will appoint him to Mr. Carlisle's position. He has been in the cashier's de- partment for twenty-six years, and being a Republican will, in all probability, stay where he is if not promoted to the position of Postmaster. On the third. floor of the Custom-house there will be quite a sweep.” W. H. Clopton, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Missouri, with a salary of $4,500 a vear, will in all probab'lity be replaced by a Revublican. Mr. Clopton, at the expiration of his term of service, will resume his prac- tice, which he abandoned to serve the Gov- ernment four years ago. Mr. Clopton has two assistants, Mr. W. S. Anthony. at $2,000 a vear, ang Mr. Walter D. Coles at $1,500 Regard'ng these two positions there is some controversy; some hold'ng that they are both on the Civil Servioe list, and others that they are presidential appointments. Mr. Anthony and Mr. Coles are not of the same opinion on the subject. The Marshal. John E. Lynch, with $4,000 salary. {s another who is doomed, although all of his office force and deputies feel safe under the sheltering wing of the Civil Serv- ice. Mr. Lynch has not yet stated what he proposes te do when he gets out. Col. Dick Dalton, Surveyor of the Port and Custodian of Public Buildings, with a $5,000 salary, and one of the most agreeable pesitions in the building, will also have to walk the plank. Col. Dalton says that he has made no plan for the future. ‘‘T am like an old doctor up our way, who was asked about the causes of typhoid fever and the treatment of it. He sa‘d he did not know the cause and did not care what it was, but when the disease appeared he treated the symptoms. I shall wait for symptoms. In the next office is the Collector of Reve- nue, Mr. Wayman C. McCreery, a gold Dém- ocrat, appointed by Cleveland to fill out the term of Judge Speck.

JOHN SCHAEFER WISHES ITS OF- FICERS ARRESTED. BARRED FROM WORK BY THEM. He Is Advised by the Prosecutor to Bring Suit in the Civil Courts. ments. John Schaefer says that the St. Louis Stone Masons’ Labor Protective Union is preventing him from earning a living for himself, his wife and their five children. He called at the Four Courts Thursday and wanted to institute criminal proceed- ings against the officers of the association. Schaefer lives at 3902 South Grand ave- nue. He says he has been a member of the organization since it was established, ten years ago. He always kept his dues paid up and was never at loggerheads with his fellow worknfen. About a year ago he was fined by the association for working below the schedule price. He accepted 20 cents per hour when the scale called for 30 cents. He thought that the matter had been adjusted. Last Saturday Schaefer sent his regular. monthly dues, but the amount was returned to him without any explanation. He did not understand it. Monday he went to Kempf & Hogan, at Safiond and Market streets, ex- pecting to work. Mr. Hogan told him that he only employed union men and he had’ re- ceived a notification from the union that Schaefer had been dropped. Hogan said that while Schaefer was a good workman he could not give him further employment. Schaefer ‘asked the Puiblic Prosecutor td issue a warrant against John Blocher, the President, and John Bartholomae, the secre- tary. He was advised to bring a civil pro- ceeding. A Cure for Rheumatism. It is a specific for only one affliction—a balm: for only one ill—rheumatism. It is not claimed that it will cure another human ailment, but it is emphatically claimed that Carroll's Dhaama-Rheuma will cure rheu- matism positively and permanently. This claim applies to rheumatism in any stage, in old and young alike. Dhaama-Rheuma is a St. Louis discovery and it can be obtained at any drug store. FIRST KENRICK ANNIVERSARY.

SOCIETY SHOWED [TS APPROVAL .OF THB BENCH SHOW. eee THE JUDGES HARD AT WORK. St. Louis Dogs Getting 2 Fair Share of the Prizes for St. Ber- nards. Well-bred dogs and well-dressed women shared honors at the Exposition Wednes- day night. Society approves of the Bench Show and it attended, clad in purple and fine linen and full of enthusiasm for man’s true-hearted friend and servant. The wo- men were particularly demonstrative. They stroked the St. Bernards, patted the ter- riers, hugged the collies and gazed with ad- miring respect at the saturnine, unblinking bull terriers. The average woman visitor seemed to have a more comprehensive knowledge of dogs than the average male patron. She knew most breeds by sight, whereas the man generally referred to the catalogue be- fore committing himself. The dogs were good-tempered and well- groomed. The only serious case of illness that has developed was in the Pierpont Morgan exhibit. Masterpiece, an open-class collie, was sick when he arrived and was shipped to Chicago last night to receive the attention of a eterinary. His brother, Ornament, took first prize in the open class for dogs. The Morgan dogs won a number of prizes, chiefly because of their condition. Their trainer knows his business and is supplied with ample means to provide his charges with every care and comfort. As a man, who breeds. dogs because he likes them, ob- served: “‘When a man can afford to send his dogs over the circuit in a palace car, it isn’t worth while for the ordinary amateur fancier to compete with him.” George Gould’s pointers had the same ad- vantage. St. Louis breeders took most of the prizes for greyhounds, and a fair share of those for St. Bernards. There was no competi- tion among the Newfoundlands, Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Jackson owning all the entries. Dr. Lougest’s bloodhounds also had a walk- over. * Among thé St. Louis dogs that took prizes was Rolla Wells’ St. Bernard Pizarro, by Le Prince—Judith Rachel first in novice class for rough coats. Pizarro is a grand dog and much like his sire, who took the Chal- lenge Cup for C. A. Pratt, of Little Rock. Morgan’s Herdsman II. beat. Kallo’s Yel- low Kid for first honors in the Old English sheep dog contest. It was not apparent to the inexpert eye wherein the superiority lay. One is as ugly as the other. There was a big crowd in attendance Thursday morning. Some of the dogs in novice classes were jaded and ’fretful, but the old-timers were as smooth as oil. Two bullterriers enlivened matters by getting to- gether, but neither was hurt. The judges think they will finish the awards to-night. The show closes Satur- ay. CLASS 110—COCKER SPANIELS.

Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., March 4.—The efrong vote which sent the Civic Federation School bill to engrossment is conelusive evidence that the House will on the final vote pass it. From half-past 2 to 5 o’clock the Schoo! bill was the subject of the warm- est and prettiest fight of the present lIegis- lative session.

Regan of St. Louis, Sweany of Jackson, Johnston of St. Louis County, er and McPherson of St. Louis le t on the bill, while McMonigle of Bittinger of St. Joseph and Dyer alb made strong and briliilant ap- peals in favor of the bill, giving speci attention to the provision for the appoint- ment of the members of the board by the Mayor. It was contended by the opponents of the bill that the appointment of the mem- bers of the board would be undemocratic, and against popular government, while the contention was forcibly answered with the assertion that the right of election was sacred only as to officers and bodies havin olitical power, and that the functions o ocal government are not possessed by the BSchool Board; that the principle of ap- pointment was recognized by both the State and Federal constitutions. The speech of McMonigle of Platte was the feature of the heated debate, and was delivered eloquent- ly and effectively. Members of the House moved about rest- lessly while the lobby was crowded with ersons who watched the fight with keen nterest. A. L. Berry and . A. Alderson were present and were in constant conversa- *tion with members. When it seemed as though there would be no end to the speech- es Jones of Butler County moved that the Davis amendment and the bill be indefinitely postponed. The motion was put and a viva voce vote showed the bill to be In imminent danger. The vote was so close that the hesitated to announce the result. tin of Barton appealed to Mr. Jones to withdraw his motion that an opportunity might | ven to amend the bill. ti unn Ps St. Louis spoke against the mo- as did Maj.

It was a wise act. The bill would not have passed the House with the provision for the appointment of the members of the board. n of Barton was informed that the friends of the bill would offer an elective endment and he persuaded Jones ef But- fer to withdraw ‘the motion to indefinitely atpone the bill The amendment prepared y Mr. Alderson was then given to Hall of Baline, who introduced it.

Mr. Aldereon last night said: “The bill as amended is still the bill of the Civic Federation, and accomplishes every in- tended reform, excepting the appointment. of the members of the board by the Mayor. But it is well known that the committee which drafted the bill hesitated seriously about agp bow the appointive feature, or that by election at a city election.

She Testified That Her Husband Was a Gay Old Bird and Liked Pretty Servants. “Well, Belle, you’re going to kiss your papa good bye, aren’t you?’’ This remark accredited to Benjamin F. Hudson, president of the Hudson Commis- si Co., om the occasion of a housegirl leaving his employ, assisted Mrs. Anna A. Hudson considerably in securing a divorce by default in Judge Valliant’s division of the Circuit Court Thursday. Mr. Hudson actually kissed the servant girl, Mrs. Hudson went on to state. They were living at 2839 Thomas. street. Mrs. Hudson testified that her husband had given evidence on several previous occa- sions of his regard for his fair employe. What with the servant girl and Hudson’s married daughter, Mrs. Weller, by a for- mer marriage, Mrs. Hudson testified things got so that she had to leave him Aug. 22, 1894. , Mrs. Hudson began the story of her trib- ulations with the statement that she was married in East St. Louis, July 20, 1586, Shortly afterward Mrs. Weller and her hus- band came to live at the house..It soon be- came evident, Mrs. Hudson testified, that the daughter’s influence was greater than hers. Every time Hudson made his wife a present, he told her to tell his daughter that some one else gave it to her. “Once he gave me a piano,” said Mrs, Hudson, “and told me to tell his daughter that my nephew gave it to me.’’ Then Mrs. Hudson told about the servant irl, whose name, she said, was Belle Mc- ntyre. She etated that Hudson was very complimentary in his remarks to Miss Mc- Intyre, Frequently, when she came into the parior, he would remark, in Mrs. Hudson's presence, according to her testimony, ‘Belle, you have very pretty little feet,’’ or “Belle, your eyes are beautiful,”’ or “What —_ at e ears you have," or words to that elec “Did he ever address you in such terms,” inquired Mrs. Hudson’s lawyer, Benjamin F. Clark. “Not that I know of,” replied Mrs. Hud- son. Shortly before the separation, Mrs. Hud- eon testified further, lle McIntyre was seized with the grip. sent for the girl's sister. Afterward M u nm was taken ill and Belle’s sister also succumbed. Hudson was compelled testified, to share Belle’s morning he camé in and smoothed hair with tender touch, caressed her and said to her: “Never mind, little one; you'll be well “He never offered to caress me in suc a manner,” added Mra.

WHEAT. The market was nervous and fairly active at Yhe opening, but soon became firm, and although there was considerable see-sawing, a cansiderable ad- vance was scored before call. Crop damage fre- ports were again numerous, but the, Price Cur- rent’s review was rather bearish. Cables were not encouraging and receipts, both here and in the Northwest, were heavier. Paris opened higher, after several days’ holiday, but Berlin was un- changed. The different papers throughout Ohio seem to be somewhat skeptical in regard to the crop damage and the trading was mostly of a scalping nature by the ‘‘regulars.”’ Receipts at St. Louls to-day were 14,950 bu, as compared with 14.026 bu for the corresponding date last year. Of these receipts 21 cars Were local, as compared with 1,034 sacks and 13 cars local a year ago. The receipts at Minneapolis and Dulnth were 317 cars, as compared with 260 cars a year ago. May wheat. opened very slow at S864%c bid, the same as the close yesterday, and sold at that price, but soon became stronger and sold up to S7c, where it remained until call, but there was very little trading. July wheat opened at Tl%e, %e higher than the sellers’ price at the close yesterday. It sold down to 71%c, fluctuated for some time between that price and 72c, sold up to 72%%c, down again to i2%c, fluctuated again between T24%@c and T2\e and then took a epurt, which sent it up to 72%@ &, but dropped back to T2%c, where it stood until call. August wheat had 7itéec bid, but there was none offered before call. Spot Grades—On call there was nothin done, but the market was nominally strong and higher. No 2 red was offered at 9lc regular and bad 80c bid Fast Side. * No 2 hard was-offered at 79c regular and had Toc bid Farmers’. No 8 red was not offered, but S4c was bid East Side. No 4 wheat was neglected. : May wheat was bid up to 87\%c after call, but there was little trading. : er After call July fluctuated between 72%4c anc 72% @%c for awhile, sold down to 72%@ec, and then back to 7T24@%ec, where it hung for some time. August wheat was offered at 72e and kad 71%4c id The sample market was strong and higher, as the offerings were light and there was a good demand, No 2 red sold at from 91c to 92%c. No 2 spring sold at 79c and 1 car of rejected sold at 72c this side. There was no demand for the low grades. The close was active at S87%c bid for May, 72\%,0%ec bid for July and Tic bid for August. July sold up to 71%c ee the close. There was no life at all in this option in the pit before call, and September was the only thing that was even mentioned 7 ; Receipts were smaller, but cables were quiet to lower, and the local demand both cash and specula- tive was light. The receipts at St. Louis to-day were 81,845 bu, as compared with 63,015 bu a year ago. Of these receipts 538 sacks and 48 cars were local, as compared with 566 sacks and 86 cars local a year ago. September corn sold at 24%c. CHICAGO, March 4.—Wheat opened quietly at a shade over yesterday's closing price. Liverpool cables opened quietly at a shade over yésterday’s closing price. Liverpool cables were 4@%d lower, but this was merely in re@ponse to yesterday's local decline and was hardly proportionate to it. The Price Current crop report was rather bearish, and Northwest receipts were very liberal at 317 cars, against 198 last week and 310 last year. At the | opening there was some liquidation which caused a small decline, but good support subsequently de- veloped and the market became firm again. May opened at 75@75\c. eased off to 744@74%ec anid recovered to 7T5\4@i75\c. There was alimost bo trading in corn and oats, and nothing of interest developed, prices were a shade easier.

The ship- ments were 342,000 bu, as compared with 216,000 pi! bu a year ago. The closing cables were: Liverpool—Spnt wheat steady, unchanged; fn- 44 lower to 4d higher.

The shipments were 182,000 bu, as coropared with 138.000 bu a year ago. Advices from the Northwest state that the pros- pect ts for an increased movement in wheat from ae ie age to escape taxes which are assessed r ’ be sample market was dull and slow, with very little demand. One car of ear corn sold at 22c: 1 car No. 3 white corn sold at 18%c Farm- ers’ and the other sales were about on these lines, May corn sold at 21%62%c after call and July was offered et 284c, with We bid.

HIS INDIVIDUAL STRENGTH. Lee Meriwether Said to Be a Surprise —Capt. Joe Brown Working Dili- gently—Noonan’s Blunder. Edwin Harrison's boom for the Demo- cratic nomination for Mayor grows Gay by day, and opposing candidates now admit that it will be Harrison against the field on convention day. When Mr. Harrigon consented to allow his name to be used as a candidate for the Dem- ocratic Mayoralty nomination, he was im- mediately assured of the support of a large Humber of “sound money’ Democrats. Many of these Democrats, who believe in the gold standard, have been life-long friends of Edwin Harrison. They believed him to be the ideal man for Mavor, many of them said. Notwithstanding they knew him to be an unwavering free silver advocate, they were willing to waive that issue and vote for him for Mayor, because they thought he would give a fair and impartial business administration of city affairs. So the word #o0on spread that Mr. Harri- 60n's individual strength as a candidate Was such that he would attract a large vote from the gold bugs, and even many independent Republicans would vote for him if he’were the nominee. Then the campaign liar began his work. He started the report that al! the gold-bug Democrats would vote for Harrison if he Weré made the nominee, ‘but that. they would not vote for any other silver Demo- erat, and therefore that was proof positive that Harrison was not a genuine free-silver man, but was a gold bug at heart, and expected to be successful through gold bug influences. The ergument then made was that no silver Democrat could afford to help nominate Harrison. As a matter of fact, this campaign le was left full of blow-holes by its own mak- ers. Mr. Harrison's friends point again to his admirable and outspoken stand for free silver in the Pertle Springs Convention. and say that he stands unfalteringly for that doctrine to-day. Mr. Harrison, in an interview in the Post- Dispatch a few days ago, said: “T have been a genuine free silver man, and I have no reason to change my financial views now.”’ Therefore M-° Harrison's friends say that his individual popularity is such as to ob- tain a large “‘sound money” vote. Or, in other words, the goldbug support does not rove Mr. Harrison to be a weak cand'date: ut, on the contrary. clearly demonstrates that he is a very strong candidate. “The ‘sound money’ Democrats met Wednesday night and decided not to put a ticket in the fleld, and one reason why that conclusion was reached is because they be- lieve that Edwin Harrison will be the regu- lar Democratic -pominee for Mayor,” said a “sound money’ Democrat Thursday morning. “‘Mr. Harrison is a man whose standing in the business world is unsur- assed. The ‘sound money’ Democrats be- leve he swould make a model Mayor, and therefore they would like to have an op- portunity to vote for him at the polls. “Resides, the wiser heads [n our council believe that a ‘sound money’ Democratic ticket might poll only a sufficient number of votes to defeat the regular Democratic ticket, and that would place us in the atti- tude of seeking petty revenge.” The Harrison headquarters at the south- west coruver of Seventh and Olive streets were crowded by enthusiastic Democrats all day Wednesday. Tom Barrett, ass‘sted by Pierce Murphy, played the role of host. A number of City Executive Committeemen . dropped in during the day and reported that Harrison delegations Would be elected with- out doubt in at least nineteen wards. The Harrison Campaign Committee meets at the Olive street headquarters at 5 o'clock . m. to-day to elect a member to succeed Pnaries D. McClure as cha!rman. Mr. Mc- Clure is detained in Montana on pressing business and he cannot return in time to act as chairman. Dr. F. J. Lutz is spoken of for chairman. Lee Meriwether is pushing his boom with the viwor of an experienced campaigner. “IT tell you this young man Meriwether ‘s oing to surprise us,’ said a boomer for apt. Joe Brown. “At first I thought he wouldn't cut any figure, but I see now that ne has the labor element. solid and not a Ww corporation men are quietly aiding him, derstand. It is surprising to learn hoe many men believe in the sitive reforms advocated by Mr. Meriwether. One thing, Mr. Meriwether has the courage of his con- Victions and he stands flat-footed on his reform platform. As Capt. Brown has many ends among the laboring men, it looks to meas if a sort of friendly feeling should ex- ist between .the Meriwether and the Brown headquarters in the La- Meriwether'’s headquarters in the Wainwright building present scenes of activity. Capt. Brown and his score of Speakers are campaigning every night. Judge Noonan is paid to be losing strength from the fact that a number of business men and practical party workers have left his camp and pomned the Harrison follow- ing. This hegira from the Noonan camp is taking place almost every day. Judge Noonan accounts for this loss of itrength in a way that is certainly not re- lounding to his credit. Politicians. from North St. Louls came down-town Wednes- lay and said that Noonan appeared at ‘Beveral Democratic meetings in that sec. tion of the city the other night, and in a Speech he remarked: “Oh, yes; I know a number of men have eft the Noonan camp, but they are men oT up from the gutter and made them What they are."’ It was noted that Noonan therefore ad- mitted that he had lost some strength. and W@s 60 Iinjudicious as to denounce every man who left him as a ‘gutter snipe." - ONLY A FROSTY FRIZZLE. Boss Butler’s Uhrig’s Cave Meeting a Rank Failure. As was preilicted in the Post-Dispatch, the Butler meeting at Uhrig’s Cave Hall, Wednesday night proved to be a 24-carat fizzle.

It was plain he had been so injudicious as to express the key-note sentiment of the meeting, but the wiser heads yelled him down, by saying that the meeting was not called to denounce any candidate openly. Wiliam Donahue of the First Ward, ac- carding to a cut-and-dried programme, wag elected temporary chairman of the meet. ing. Stephen Ryan, the labor agitator, who had been acting as temporary secretary, gave way for William Deneen. R. M. Ray of the Eleventh Ward said he had signed the Butler circular, and that he didn’t believe the name of anybody had been forged as a signer. Willlam McNamara bounced to his feet and said: “Il want to say that I never signed that circular, nor did I authorize any one to sign it for me. But as I am a Butler man, and as I understand this meeting is friendly to Col. Butler, I am willing to take part in the proceedings.”’ Mr. McNamara also deciared that the names of Joe Milostan, . P. McDermott and Charles Maloney of the First Ward had been forged as signers of the circular, Mr. Ray was elected permanent chairman of the meeting. Mike Walsh offered a motion that a perma- nent chairman and ather officers for a Pre- cinct (‘ommitteemen's organization be elected at once. As only seventeen committeemen were present Walsh's motion was so farcical that it receiyed no second. On motion of William Griffin, a Butlerite of the Nineteenth Ward, the meeting decided to arrange another call for a meeting of all Precinct Committeemen, to be held soon at the, Jefferson Club. The meeting then adjotrned, and the seventeen Butler committeemen walked out into the dark, éach wearing a look of dis- gust. Col. Ed Butler, his sons. James J. Butler and John R. Butler, and his Nineteenth Ward henchman, “‘Bobby’’ Carroll, did not appear at the meeting. One amusing feature of this Butler .at- tempt at disorganization is Col. Ed Butlér’s ecard in a morning paper of Thursday say- ing that he had nothing to do with calling the Uhrig’s Cave Hall meeting. and that he was not mixing in politics now. The politicians who know Boss Butler's tactics laugh and savy that if the Uhr'ig’s Cave meeting had been a rousing success the Boss would have claimed all the credit for calling it. or having it called: but now that it has vroved a fiasco he declares that he had nothing whatever to do with it. a — TZ ELECTED. Succeeds P. J. Pauly as a Member of Democratic Executive Committee. The Democratic City Executive Commit- nighta, ¢ ‘hairman Devoy presided. ber-at-large, was accepted, and Dr. J. LutZ was elected to fill the vacancy. Wm. F. Farley of the Nineteenth nominated W. G. Frye to succeed Mr. Pauly and Walter F. Versen seconded the nomi- nation, as did also Mr. Quellmalz. Mr. Kleiber nominated Dr. ed and then declared the unanimous choice of the. committec A letter from President G. W. Jones of the Election Board was read, thanking the committee for having elected him an hon- orary member. , Chairman Devoy announced that the Pre- cinct Committeemen had completed an or- ganization in every precinct in the city. He reminded the committeemen that ail delegations for the primary and all: candi- dates for the House of Delegates must be filed with the Election Commissioners by 5 p. m. next Saturday. The citizens who were selected for the delegations must be scanned closely, he maid, to see that they had not changed their residences since the last registration and would thereby be stricken off and might cause the whole del- egation to be thrown out. The committee adopted a resolution to the effect that all its printing should bear the Allied Printing Trades Union label. The committee will meet again next Wednesday night. Before the meeting was called to order several committeemen signed a petition in- dorsing C. P. Connolly for Factory In- epector. SOCIALIST LABOR TICKET.

Douglass and Mr. DeMen'! were in favor of nominat- ing a ticket. They were opposed by Col. T. Kent, E. C. Kerr and Edward Cunningham. As the gold bug Democrats could place & ticket in the field only by a petition, it was believed that -such action would make them appear in the light of trying simply to defeat the regular Democratic ticket.

How Dr. Helwig’s Petted Canine Es- caped the Dog-Catcher. Dr. Helwig, the City Dispensary pharma- cist, has a pup which he calls a dog. It is imported and blue-blooded and worth at least $25. The doctor takes good care of it,.as a doctor should. He makes it wear sanitary wool underwear and feeds it «on cough drops. Wednesday he took it out for exXercise. The dog catchers came along and cast envious looks and a wire loop at the valu- able pup. Dr. Helwig went into the house and brought out his gun. He pointed it at the dog catehcr and said some things. The dog catcher looked at the doctor and the gun. ‘“‘Huh! you ain't many,” he said, and made another throw for the pup. The doctor did not shoot. He was afraid he would get his name inthe papers. Tlie valuable pup escaped under the fence, thougn. Dr. Helwig says but for his determined stand it would certainly have been tured. MISS WHITE’S RECITAL. Singer cap- The Talented Interpretive Shortly to Appear Here. Miss Villa Whitney White, who appeared here last spring in a song recital of Ger- man folk songs, under the auspices of three musical societies, will Treturn shortly and give a series of concerts in Memorial Hall, Ninteenth and Locust streets, Miss White's special field is in the song recital, particularly the German lied, and she has few superiors. The greatest charm in her singing lies in her interpretive power. She gives not only the words and the mel- ody, but also the very thought which led the composer to combine the two. She has reached her present position not merely through an attractive personality but -by reason of close and earnest applica- tion to the study of her art. Her voice is a rich, full mezzo-soprano. Miss White will give three recitals with explanatory -talks,. Saturday afternoon, March 13. The programme -will consist of songs for children, Monday evening, March 15, hef subject will be “‘Die Schoene Muel- lerin Cyklus,’’ Franz Schubert. The last re- cital, Thursday evening, March 18, will be devoted to the songs of Robert Schumann. GERM TUBE STATIONS. New Places Where Anti-Tcxin Can Soon Be Secured. Chemist William C.

WANT Friends of the St. Louis Ex-Confederate Soldier Will Look After His Claim in Washington. Se A kindly-eyed little St. Louls man, gray- haired and nérvous, but bright of intellect despite his 76 years, is preparing to ask the Government for a pension of $500,000. He has already made arfangements to have his claim presented to Congress, and is sanguine of success. If he succeeds in getting the half a million dollars he believes®* himself entitled to he will feel that his-life work in the interest of science has been fittingly rewarded. The little man is Maj. John 8S. Mellon of 9945 Olive street. The Major is.one of the best-known men in ex-Confederate circies in Missouri. Though at one time wealthy, he has almost exhausted his resources in making the researches for which he hupes to obtain compensation from the Govern- ment. He claims to have discovered the germ theory of disease ‘sixty: years ago, torty years before Pasteur, the famous French scientist, startled the medical world by ad- vancing it. The history of Maj. Mellon’s development of the germ theory, as set forth in «the papers which he will lay before Congress in support of his claim, is an interesting one. The Major was born in Virginia of wealthy parents, but Hike many another youth, he gave up his silver spoon for gild- ed folly and left home at the age of 15 to see the world, the flesh and the devil. Ac- cording to his own statement he saw the world and raised the devil, but it was harder to raise the flesh on which to sub- sist. The proud young Virginian was forced to take to stage driving. Horses throughout Virginia were suffer- ing from a disease known as the botts at the time. The young stage driver studied the disease, He experimented with a cheap microscope and advanced the theory that the complaint was due to parasites. The doctors howled him down and be said no more, but he continued his experiments. He was in Missouri when the war broke out, and enlisted in the Confederate Army at Lexington, Mo., in 1861. A year later he was commissary on the staff of Gen. Beauregard, with headquarters in Corinth, Miss. A great deal of sickness prevailed among the soldiers, 75,000 of whom were stationed at Corinth, The sickness was attributed to the food. Maj. Melion found that men who ate beef were not affected, but that those who ate pork showed marked symptoms of the prev. alent iliness. He made a long series of microscopic examinations at the end of which he reported to Gen. Beauregard that the pork was infested with parasites. Gen, Beauregard was. 90 impresed that he appointed a commission to make a scien- tific investigation of the meat. The com- mission consisted of three officers of the staff. two professors of the State Univers- ity at Oxford, and Maj. Melion. The professors agreed that there was a foundation for the Major’s theory, but his fellow staff officers couldn't see it that way, and so reported. The men were dying off so fast that Gen. Beauregard evacuated Corinth, moving his forces further south. The change of loca- tion did not lessen the death rate among the men. The Commissary again advanced his germ theory. He-was so persistent’ that an effort was made to remove him. The clam- or again grew so strong that a commission of three Confederate generals was So to look into his mental condition. ey re- ported him sane and expressed the beilef that his corm theory was correct, though they couldn’t understand it. Only a few months later Maj. Mellon a4- vanced the theory that erysipelas and diph- therla were germ diseases. he army sur- eons frowned him down, and he subsided or a while. ° At the-close of the war he came to St. Louls and went into the real estate business, Maj. John N. Edwards, Maj. Mellen’s clos- t friend, was then editor of the St. Louis imes. He asked Maj. Mellon to write something for his paper. Maj. Mellon wrote a lengthy article in defense of his germ the- ory. Maj. Edwards was so pleased with it that he printed it as an editorial in the Times. It was widely copied and translated. A year later Maj. Mellon laid the evi- dences of his discovery before Congress and asked for a bounty of $500,000 in considera- tion of the good that would result to the country from it. Senator Cockerill introduced the Dill. The debate was long and hot. A Senator was The bill was finally kille . he unkind enough to say that it was too soon after the war to begin | ge rae rebels. In 1875, nearly ten years after Maj. Mel- lon laid his discovery before the Senate, it was announced that Pasteur, the famous French chemist, was experimenting on the theory that diseases were caused by germs. Shortly afterwards the news came from Paris that Prof. Koch of Berlin was throw- ing sclentific bricks at Pastetr. During the controversy Koch asked Pasteur where he got his ideas on the germ theory of dis- ease. Pasteur replied that his attention had finst been called to it by an editorial in the St. Louis Times in the summer of 1866. When Maj. John N. Edwards read the copies of Pasteur’s letter, he wrote to Pas- teur telling him the discoverer of the theor and the author of the editorial was Maj. Mellon. This opened a long correspondence between the editor and the scientist. It was friedly at first, but when Pasteur realized that his thunder was apt to be stolen, he grew angry: Late in 1876 he sent Maj. Ed- wards a red hot French challenge to a duel. He said he would come to St: Louis at once and fight Maj. Edwards to the death. Maj. Edwards was a hot-blooded Southerner. He accepted the challenge, and then coolly waited for the Frenchman to show up. Pasteur never kept the date. He preferred to live and reap the fruit of his ‘‘discovery.”" A few years Cates the gov- ernment gave him $1,000,000 and $10,000 a year for life. Meanwhile the real discoverer was strug- gling for existence in St. Louls. After all these years Maj. Mellon will again demand recognition from his country. Papers -to bear out the facts here related will ac- company his claim when it is laid before Congress. Though Maj. Mellon has no mon- ey to push his claim for half a million, has friends who will see that his case is well presented and will plead in the halls of Congress. The papers are now in the hands of a prominent gentleman, who will act’as Maj. Mellon's agent. ‘ NEEDS OF FOREST PARK. Supt. Pope Wishes an Appropriation of $75,000. 3 Supt. William Pope of Forest Park hopes the Municipal Assembly in its goodness of heart will appropriate lots of money for his preserves this-year. He thinks it should be at least $75,000, which would be an increase Of $35,000 over last year. He wants to use a part of it In setting out about 3,000 trees to replace those de- stroyed by the tornado and others which have died. Unless extensive work of this kind is done the park will soon be a forest only in name, he says. SOUGHT NEW PASTURES. Work-House Trusty Who Deserted His Herd and Ran.

It was per- formed by Dr. Bernays at the hospital and the patient apparently through it successfully. Tuesday his condition changed for the worse. His death Wednesday morn- ing was sudden. According to Mr. Dexter Tiffany, who was his brother’s law partner, Mr. Tiffany’s death is thought not to have been the result of the operation... The physicians are not arle to state the exact cause, giving it r-rely as heart failure. ‘Lhe body was removed to the family resi- dence Wednesday. The funeral arrange- ments have not yet been made. Mr. Tiffany leaves a widow and two daugh- ters, the younger 17 years old.

An entire room in the handsome residence is given over to the collection. Mr. Tiffany was born in 8t. Louls in February, 142. His father was prominent and wealthy.
