Grover Cleveland’s ancestry 1s traced back to Henry Sewell, Esq , of Cov- entry, in Warwickshire, England, who flourished in Queen Kiizabeth's day, and was several times elocted mayor of that city.

T'he democratic papers aro able to see that Mr, Oleveland looms up for presidont in 1884, Our own opinion is that Mr. Oleveland is doing most of his looming now, and that after he begins his career of masterof the dem- ocratic legislative kennel he will com- menco to seek the western horizon, As Bob Ingersoll eays, ‘*he has loomed a# much as he ever will,” The democratic governor-elect of T ansachusetts figures lons glory out of Nevelund's vietory tkan is generally awarded, He eays thue Uivoland polled & lighter vote than Hancock, notwithstanding his majority, Ben must learn to bo more coldly politic and cover up his ambitions or the firat thing he knows he will bo considered a osndidate for president and be “‘busted”’ accordingly. ) ) A Waste of Tears, Buffalo Expross. There is a great cutery from the Bossewer steel mon—the most pro- tected of all our manufacturers, for they are protected by patent as well 8 by tariff —about closing their works, turning 20,000 men out to starve, ete., ete. It all looks liko & game of bluff to scare off congreas from reducing the duty, Even to-day’s news leads to that conclogion, for it tells us of & plan for a brand new and very large Bessemer steel mill at Wheeling, If the steel interest were really in such desporate straits as they pretend, such & new project would not ho heard of mor thought of. It is a false alarm, probably intended to work on the minds of railroad builders and contractors, as well a8 of congress; for it is said that the contractors are holding off from buying steel rails, thinkiog the price extortionate, and hoplag to force it down. It would come down fast enough if competition were allowed free play, even without reducing the duty. But the Bessemer interest 1s a pooled monopoly as well as a patented monopoly and & protected monopoly. 1t would be a waste of good tears to shed them in behalf of sugh u tripple- plated gold mine when there are so many other things that need sympathy paesenger agenta of the trunk lines to- dey agreed that the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad company should accept from the 1st of Docember next differ- /|ontial rates and adopt continuous N L SRR ’&‘%& pointed to inquire into commissions paid to outside parties in San Fran- ciaco for male of tickets from the Pa- cific coast to Now York and seaboard towns reported in favor of discontinu- ing these per centages, A great deal of the time and attention of the agents was taken up in calling off figures showing the amount of work done at intermediate points since the establishment of differential fares, The Omaha & Sonthwestern.

In journalism, influence goes for little or nothing, unless there be on the aspirant real efficiency to perform the work that has to be done. There never was greater competition in the prees than there is at the present day, and that competition is more likely to become keener than to diminish.
