CAN NOT BEAT HIM. Wo notice among oar Republican exchanges a strong attempt to defeat the nomination of Mr. Cleveland. This is very sad indeed, especially when wo reflect that only three months ago tbeso same organs were declaring that his nomination and bis defeat wero inevitable. Having failed to secure bis defeat in advanco of his nomination; con vinced that he is too strong to be beaten by any man tho Republicans can name, our Republican friends are trying to forco Gov. Hill on the party. They assure us that the President was really defeatod in Now York the other day. It was then charged that tho President wanted the National Convention hold in Now York city, but that Gov. Hill had fixed ou Cbi cago. Now they Buy it would be in the interest of Hill to hold tho con vention in New York city. The Cincinnati Commercial Ga zatte had in its issue last Monday throe separato news articles to provi that Mr, Cleveland’s nomination n in doubt and his defeat in case ol his nomination assured by defections among tho Democrats. One o’ these articles contains a dispatch from New York, insisting that Mr. Gleveland’s nomination depends on New York city. As a matter of fact Mr. Cleveland would be nominated though a solin New York deligation favored Mr: Hill. The second article pioduces an editori-d from the Albany Times, de daring Cleveland can not bo elected, bat the Times is an unknown qnnnti ty in journalism and in politics- The arguments it advances to sustain its assertions are the ones which con vinco tho average voter that Clove land is tho man for the place. The third article in our Ohio con temporary foreshadowing the down full of Cleveland comes from Indian npoli6, and it assures the public that the President is not popular among (he Bourbons; that ho would only be reluctantly supported us a politic- necessity, and that Hill is the bo> for tho Hoosier voters. This is doing very well for a liten ry bureau iu out day. Hill and Rtt dall it seems have bom given thi freedom of tho columns of our R publican contemporaries.

The Ladies Memorial Association of Montgomery, Ala., have made a report on tire resul oft the Kirmesa for the benefit of the Confederate monument fund. The total receipts were $1,402, the total expenses $1,* 107, leaving a balance ot $29o for the monument. This is generally the result ot charitable entertainments. There is nothing so costly as charity in this form. Here the public paid $1,402 in order to give tho Association $295 —less than twenty-five per cent. Be sides, the ladies undoubtedly did a large amount of work for which they got nothing. Charitable entertain merits are well dercribed by the man who gave ten cents for the benefit of the benighted heathen and then gave a dollar to get the ten cents to the heathen. It would be much cheaper for tho public and more profitable for the charitable enterprise if each per son would contribute directly what money he could a fiord to spend. There are, however, many persons who would not contribute a cent who will spend five or ton dollars at a church fair. There are also many husbands who would not allow their wives to contribute twenty-live cents money, who will allow her to spend five dollars in materials for cakes and fancy work fora fuir. It probably cannot be helped, but our charities are unnecessarily costly and very small after the expenses are paid. Rosooo Conkling, writing to friend in Wisconsin, mournfully re grets ‘‘that for some years now, the party (Republican) in which you and l believe so much, has not maintain ed its usefulness and vigor. Quite out of the current now myself, and powerless to influence the councils of those who manage and direct, I •hall hope for the best, and trust that the leaders will find some way to bring back tho earnestness and wis dom which now, as much as ever dtioe the war, are needed.” A Chicago preacher threatens the sinners ot that city with being hurl ed into the bottomless pit unless they mend their wicked ways. This is an old tunc threat, but it will not phase the Chicago sinners, because they know the fall would lie easy in a bot tomlcss pit.

Daily News. <\ \ \ \ w \ \ \ • . - n ' \ \ \ \ N \ \ Theabove Sketches, taken from among tlie Pi* ares appearing lathe Story, Trill safllcicnlly indb cate the Clia. aelcr o£ - (lie Illustrations. mm \ \ \ v : N \ N \ \ \ \ N V A N \ N N . COPYRIGHTED K,u ILLUSTRKTED. This paper will shortly begin the publication of a Serial Story with the above title, and of intense interest. Each chapter is alive with excitement and the plot moves on with a power and spirit which will, we believe, make this one of the most acceptable serials we have ever offered in these columns. THE BRETON MILLS Is a story that will satisfy the popular demand for intense interest in each installment. The scene is laid in a New England factory village. Both the employing class and the class of the employed furnish adlors in the thrilling romance, and the reader’s interest will be closely held all through the changing scenes of the story. While not taking sides on the questions interesting working people, which are touched upon in tlie story, tlie author dissedls the pa¬ thetic elements of the life of the poor with fearless hand. Still liis romance, after all, is a romance of love, and all else in the story is only introduced to solve the problem of one man’s devoted and faithful nature.
