SER er THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1895-SIXTEEN PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘TUESDAY 28, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES...............¢ Editor, THB EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. G7 In order to avoid delnys, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The National Convention which will nominate the democratic candidate for presidential honors in the next campa!gn will not meet until more than a year henze, yet there are already in existence sem!- official announcements that President Cleveland is a candidate for a fourth nomi- nation ard a third term as President. In yesterday's issue of The Star one of Presi- dent Cleveland's official subordinates ex- pressed himself as belng satisfied that the President was in the fleld to capture honors such as have never yet been given to even the most distinguished of Ameri- cans. After discussing briefly his reasoas for believing that the President nas set bis heart upon another term in the White House, this official says: “I do not think that prior to the meeting of the demo- cratic national convention any one will be able to produce a letter from Pr: Cleveland in which he will state that he not a candidate for the renomination. In that sentence there is an indfract a cusation. In times past President Cle land has never hesitated to make known his desires, and when he wanted anything he has generally gone after !t in a straight- forward, open and above-board fashion that has disarmed the framers of innuendo. In his letter accepting the nomination in 1831, Mr. Cleveland—after discussing some of those things which, in his opinion, were necessary to real government .by the peo- ple—said: “And of the means to this end not cne would, in my judgment, be more effective than an amendment to the Constitution disqualifying the President from re-elec tion. When we consider the patroiage of this great office, the allurements of power, the temptations to retain public place once gained, and, more than all, the availability @ party finds in an incumbent whom a horde of office-holders, with a zeal born of benefits received and fostered by the hope of favors yet to come, stand rea-ly to aid with money and trained political serv- ice, we recognize In the eligibility of the President for re-election a most serious danger to that calm, deliberate, and in- telligent political action which must char- acterize a government by the people. To be sure, President Cleveland did per- mit himself to become his party’s nominve four years later, and again, after an- other interval of four years, he allowed me of those in whose bosoms was the ered by the hope of favors yet to come” to make him once more the part, standard-bearer, but there is no evidence in the possession of the public to show that Mr. Cleveland hid himself behind a screen while these things were being done. Mr. Cleveland is on record as being flatly opposed to 1ic- Rominations, yet when the democratic Party notified him that he was the only available man, he cheerfully laid aside b cleerly-expressed principles and marched calmly, first to defeat aud more recently to victory. If it shall appear to the Pri dent that there is still paucity of demo- cratic presidential timber, he may once more write a letter of acceptance. But no matter what happens he will surely make no attempt to conceal his views on a mat- ter of so much importance both to him- self and the country. It is therefore un- fair to suggest that Mr. Cleveland Is even row on a still hunt for the nomination, —____ +e = —__ Everywhere there will be sympathy with those who because of kinship mourn, the death of Walter Q. Gresham, and every fair-minded American will pay a tribute of respect to the memory of one who in the military, Judicial, political and official walks of life achieved his share of fame. Historians who strive to sketch accurately the troublous tlmes when vigorous en- deavor was made to practically apply the doctrine of state's rights will note the pa- triotism and soldierly ability of General Gresham, while those who study public af- fairs since the close of the civil war will be strugk by the prominence of Gresham as a judge, as a member of two cabinets, and as one of the most frequently men- tioned of men in connection with the presi- dential nominations of both the republican and populist parties. To any one other than a man of great ability and stroag character all these honors would not have been possible, nor would they probably have been bestowed upon one who was lacking in those qualities which give to thelr possessor a fair meed of popularity. His’ death will disturb the administration considerably, for it will be difficult to find any one who can place himself so closely in accord with the President on foreign af- fairs as Secretary Gresham did. So long a conspicuous figure in public life, he will be missed for a longer period than is common. In his home, where he was idolized, and io which he was most devotedly attached, there will be unspeakable sorrow. ——~ e+ —____ It Is not at all likely that the retirement of Superintendent Byrnes will result in deterioration of Gotham’s police force, for control of police affairs in that city today entirely in the hands of most capable po- lice commissioners. With Theodore Roose- velt at their head, the commissioners will see to it that the citizens of New York re- ceive all the protection they need and that the force is purified and recreated, and if it appears to be impossible to find a man in the police force who is fit to succeed Byrnes, and the law permits, Comfnissioner Roosevelt should be placed at the head of the organization. In no other way could the desire to secure for New York city a clean and effective police administration be so certainly and thoroughly satisfied. — + «+ Sound currency’s friends are now wide awake. Only a little while ago they were decidedly somnolent and paid but little heed to the irrational yet in many respects popularly-framed arguments in behalf of the unlimited free coinage of silver at the 16 to 1 ratio, But the rapidity with which these silver theories were being spread and the ease with which they were being swal- lowed finally alarmed those who do not desire to have the nation suffer more with- in the next two or three years than it has suffered during the two years that have Just gone by. These men realized that the assertions of the free silver men could not be overthrown im the average mind by ponderous volumes devoted to technical discussion of the art of finance, and as soon as this realization came they proceeded to send forth among the people documents that could easily be understood and in which were contained clearly-stated tru- isms not likely to be soon forgotten. A sample fragment will serve to show the character of the Sound Currency Series of pampnicts now being issued by the Re- form Club. “A Financial Catechism” by Fred Perry Powers—for a long time one of $he foremost of Washington's newspaper dorrespondents—deals with the currency problem after the following fashion: Is gold appreciating in value? ‘That is hard to say. Compared with la- bor, it is steadily depreciating. In each five-year period of the last fifty years, a @iven amount of labor commanded higher wages in gold than in any similar period before. But suppose gold has appreciated. Then it is so much the better for the Wage-earner. Wholesale prices of goods change daily, retail prices every week or two, but wages only once or twice a year, or even less frequently. This means that the wage-earner, paid on a gold basis, can get more and more goods for the wages he receives. What would be the effect upon the Amer- ican farmer of expressing his prices in silver? If he got the same price in silver that he now gets in gold, he would receive only half the purchasing power he now gets. If prices doubled he would get just the same that he now gets; in one case he would Hee and in the other he would make noth- ng. Why are the silver dollars called the “Dollars of the Fathers?” Because the Fathegs made very few of them, called silver's expulsion of gold “an unhappy experience,” and changed the law so that gold drove out silver. If the believers in sound money—money that will be just as good in Europe or Asia or Australia as it is in the United States— will only spread the plain truth such as is now being distributed by the Reform Club there will be no more left of the free silver argument than was spared of the green- back idea when the worshippers of that varlety of the flat-money idol were struck down by healthy public sentiment. ——_ + —_____ Hidden away in a remote corner of the news record fs an announcement that de- gerves the blazon of big type and a promi- zent position. The item is 2 statement to the effect that a mule was killed by light- ning in New York yesterday. This allega- tion will naturally be taken with a big pinch of salt by those who live in any- thing like proximity to Mason and Dixon's line, and especially on the lower side thereof, where the mule blooms in prodigal profusion, It will be difficult to convince such persons that even lightning occa- sioned rigor mortis in the system of a sound and substantial mule. Grief at com- pulsory labor and the deliberate action of slow decay have been known to mow down the mule by easy stages, but noth- ing sudden has ever till now been recorded as having successfully stricken a mule in the hey-day of his prime. If the New York stcry is true, however, it is additional and valuable evidence of the wonderful power contained in the electric spark. —_——-—~+ e = ____ In Brooklyn yesterday a man weighing over two hundred pounds was struck by a trolley car, and owing to the fact that he was too big to go under the fender he was merely bruised by being pushed along the stones Instead of being ground up. It will be seen from this occurrence that eligibility to membership in a fat men’s club insures other blessings besides picnics, excufsions and pie-eating matches. -— 2 2 The Omaha Bee remarks: With charming modesty and a Chester- Neldian bow the Cleveland Plain Dealer con- gratulates the supreme court on appropri- ating the P. b.’s views on the income tax.

A Quandary. “I don’t know what to do with that chap- ple we got out of the last shipwreck,” said the chef to the cannibal king. “What's the matter?’ “If we take his cigarettes away from him he'll pine away and set thin.” “Let him keep them.” “Then he'll spoil the flavor of the stew.” Misunderstood. + “It’s surprising,” he satd, as uc threw down his newspaper, “that some people should think that free coinage at sixteen to one should stand any chance.” “John,” she, commented, severely; “I'm ashamed of you. It seems to me that for the last six months you have done nothing but talk horse-racing: Faith. When tenderer zephyrs breuthe soft o'er the plain, When frost-frighted verdure takes courage again, The work-a-day season, the bustle and whirl, Give way to our dreams of the sweet sum- mer girl. And a query arises: “What will she be like? Will she travel in bloomers and ride on a bike? Will she put on man’s collars, his necktio and vest, His hat and his coat, not to mention the rest?” They say you are fickle; perhaps it is true; But in this we are certain, oh, fair one, of you.
