The Clov cLiimI Hoorn.
The returning popularity of ex-
President Cleveland doies not mean
simply a change or attitude to-
ward a man, but it means ns well
the reawakening n.nd reinvigorat-
jug of a gr-cit political partl.v that
was aim'si done to «!*•:• th seven
yenrs ago. It menus that the great
heart of the Democratic party
once more throbbing with life and
vigor Mid (lint there is to be im
accounting with tboscwlio admin-
jstered the sleeping draught. ll
may or may not mean four more
years of Grover. That is imma-
terial. The circumstances of the
situation seem to indicate that
the rank and file of the pirty are
distrustful of present party lead¬
ers and are casting about for a
man about who, tn they can rally,
What more natural, therefore,
than that this man should bo tin
ox-pro.sidenV Tho history of Auier-
lcnn politics docs not show an in
stance in which a man has clung
to principio with more deter*
mination and consistency and at
a gieiter sncrifico than has Mr.
jL’foyrland. lie has been loyal to
the only Democracy that has ever
brought victory to tlie party. IF-
has pursued the mil/ course that
could have I,eeji <u ,benefit to his
party at this time. If a man of
loss integrity and fearlessness had
OCCU| ied the white house when
Bryan and others of u like stripe
sprung their scliemo of false oco-
iiomii b on the party tin re would
to-day be myro of disorder ami
'hopelessness in tho ranks than
there is. As a national figure Mr.
Cleveland has been a most power¬
ful factor in ’ keeping alive the
creed of the old party, more so,
perlnpa than all other force scorn-
Vmieij'. As it is there is yet one
about whom the scattered ranks
cun rally, feeling confident that
they may depend upon a course
of unwavering consistency,
In the heart of almost every
one tnere is a deep seated admira¬
tion for moral courage and a last-
ing respect for tho man who main-
tains a position willi courage and
dignity. Exceptions to this
are the politicians and from this
source hi,;s eonse most of the abuse
heaped upon tho ex-president, lb-
has always been tho especial aver¬
sion of the politicians, and even
now when there is a healthy re-
vival of Democratic sentiment it
is the politicians more than any
other who are attempting to
check it. The solution of the
problem is found in the fact that
a man wjvo had tho courage to gue-
tifico party leadership for tho sake
of his Conviction's is not to thoir
liking.
It is not at all probable that
Mr. Cleveland will again bo n
candidate for president but the
mere fact that attention is now
being centered in him is one of
tho most favorable signs of the
times.

“1 have never been able to
derstniid,” said The President,
“why so many of onr young met
the countrv for the towns and
cities. Now you,” indicating 'I In

sacrifice if I hereby you could swap

a young minister to vi-.it with him

wluit we saw was enough to touch
tlie heart of the most, selfish. I be

consisted of the husband and wife

i do is health-destroying and there
is never a moment when they can

they can experience tho vigorous

thought as J looked into the faces
of these prematurely old children,
that tlie greatest blessing that
c mid be conferred upon them
would be to carry them back to
tho farm where the gen iu I sunshine
and pure air would restore the
roses to their cheeks, would bring
again the bright sparkle of happi¬
ness to their eyes and supplant
apathy and listlessness with the
vigor and enthusiasm of youth. I
sometimes think that the upper
ant natural order of things is not
as it should be, but after all 1
guess wo can blamo no one but
ourselves. t J
“But if I should go to a city 1
would not work iu a cotton fuc-
tory,” put in The Dude.
“No; perhaps not. But what
would you do? You have spent
your life on u farm and know that
businessWell, but when von strike
tho eitios with their teeming pop¬
ulations engaged in never ceasing

merciless copetition for first place
you will find that your easy going
