The second presidential term of Grover Cleveland expired on Thursday, and he has now retired to private life. The last administration ol the government by Mr. Cleveland was a notable one, in many ; respects, and will hardly be given impartial judgment by the present genera¬ tion of the American people. The Star has not been able to endorse or approve all of Mr. Cleveland’s official acts; yet it has never seen fit to criticise him as se¬ verely as some others have done. In all truth and candor, howev¬ er, we must confess we have no tears tn shed at his retirement private life. YYTiile we regret the administra¬ tion of the government has passed out of the hands of the party, yet we do not regret passing of Mr. Cleveland power. He was never in thy with the people, but with classes—the monied men and trusts and corporations of country. His second term in the presiden¬ tial office did not compare favorably w ith his first administration as the first term he was considerate of the wishes of the people, and especially so of the interests of the democratic party; but during his second term he was totally incon¬ siderate of everything except the wishes and interests of the “money power,” of the country. He reduced the principal of the public debt during his first admin¬ istration, and increased it many millions during his second term. \\ T hen he retired from the office at tne ena 01 ms tirst term ne leu a surplus of many millions of dol¬ lars, in the public treasury, and had the full confidence of the democratic party, and the people ; but he has now gone out, leaving a deficit in the public treasury, and d res not possess the good will and confi¬ dence of scarcely a corporal’s guard of the party’ tha: twice elevated him to the presidential office. But this is enough. Let Mr. Cleveland retire to pri¬ vate life. It is sufficient to know we are done with hitn for all time, so far as the administration of the government is concerned. Yale, Cleveland. Requiescat in Pace ! The Massachusetts Bureau Labor lias taken a census of the population of its state, which re¬ veals the fact that out of 2 , 500,000 persons in the state, 1 , 700,000 were foreigners or children of foreign born parents. The increase in ten years has been from 27 to 30 per cent., and the iact is a matter wor thy of study. The census, when compared with the figures of the national census of 1890 , shows that the foreign element is increas- ! ing steadily. It also shows that the number of divorces, according j to the population, has decreased,! and that the women outnumber the men, and that the veterans of the j Jate war are fast dying off. j A GREAT BICYCLE MCE.

I An Atlantic cable has, fortunate lv, few animal enemies, though in the English channel, the Irish sea J^orth sea the teredo, the special-cable pest of the Mediterra r.ean, does some mischief. This “miserable little mollusk,” as the cable men call it. first made itself a reputation by eating up wooden ship hulks until builders took to plating them with iron, and by burrowing into the dikes in Holland until the whole country was threatened with inundation. When the cable came, it took to it at once. It wriggles its way in between tho steel wires of the most tightly wrapped core and eats away jute and guita percha un¬ til there is nothing but a wire skele¬ ton left. Happily, however, as al¬ ready indicated, our own particular cable has little to fear from the te¬ redo, and the best wish we can give it as it lies at the bottom of the At¬ lantic is that it may never have a history, and that the time may be long before the Faraday sees it igain.—Henry Muir in McClure's Magazine.
