Mr. Cleveland Retail to Endorse lit Measure. HE WRITES A LETTER TO GENERAL CATCHINGS Giving Hi* Reasons for Witholding His Signature. The new tariff became a law Mon day night. Its term at the white house expired at midnight. Mr. Cleveland failed to sign it. Under the constitu tion, it having been adopted by both houses of congress and having remain ed in tho hands of the president for ten days, it became a law at midnight. SCTwr--.. ha g been t 1 „\nt 'mated in 'Though .\lr. his letter to Chairman Wilson would veto the bill, he failed to do scW He likewise failed to sign it, but throws the rpsponsibility of the law on con gress. In doing so Air. Cleveland writes a letter explaining his position. This letter is addressed to Air. Cach ings instead of to Chairman Wilson. He does that for the purpose of getting his views before the people. Why ho did not address it to Mr. Wilson is unknown. He abuses the bill, but says it is better than the AlcKinley bill and is a step in the right direc tion. He will not interpijse a veto. Mr. Cleveland’s Letter. President Cleveland has written the following letter to Representative Catchings, of Mississippi, in which he . sets forth his views of the new tariff law and gives his views for notapprov ing the bill: “Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., August 27, 1894.—H0n. T. C. Catchings—My Dear Sir: Since the conversation X had with you and Mr. Clark, of Alabama, a few days ago, in regard to my action on the tariff bill, now before me, I have given the sub ject further aud most serious consider ation. Tue result is, lam more set tled than ever in the determination to allow the bill to become a law without my signature. “When the formation of the legisla tion, which it was hoped would em body democratic ideas of tariff reform, was lately entered upon by the congress, nothing was further from my anticipation than a result which I oould not promptly and en thusiastically endorse. It is, there fore, with a feeling of the utmost dis appointment that I submit to a denial of this privilege. “I do not claim to be better than the masses of my party, nor do I wish to avoid any responsibility which, on account of the passage of this law, I ought to bear as a member of the dem ocratic organization. Neither will I permit myself to be separated from my party to such an extent as might bo implied by my veto of the tariff legislation, which, though disappoint ing, is Btill chargeable to democratic effort. But there are passages in this bill which are not in direct line of hon est tariff reform and it contains incon sistencies and cruelties which ought not to appear in tariff laws or laws of r.uy kind. Besides there were, as yon and I well know, incidents accompa nying the passage of the bill through the congress which made every sincere tariff reformer unhappy; while influ ences surrounded it in its latter stages and interfered with its full construc tion which ought not to be recognized or tolerated in democratic reform councils. “And yet, notwithstanding all its vicissitudes and all the bad treatment it received at the hands of pretended friends, it presents a vast improvement to existing conditions. It will cer tainly lighten many a tariff burden that now rests heavily npon the peo ple. It is not only a barrier against the return of mad protection, but it furnishes a vantage gflound from which must be waged further aggressive op erations against protected monopoly and governmental favoritism. "I take my place with the rank and file of the democratic party who be lieve in tariff reform, and who know what it is; who refuse to accept the results embodied in this bill as the close of the war; who are not blinded to the fact that the livery of democ racy has been stolen and worn in the service of republican protection, and who have marked the deadly light of treason that has blasted the councils of the brave in their hour of night. “The trusts and combinations—the communion of pelf—whose machina tions have prevented us from reaching the success we deserved, should not be forgotten or forgiven. We shall re cover from our astonishment at their exhibition of power, aud if then the question is forced upon us whether they shall submit to the freejegislative will of the people’s representatives, or shall dictate the laws which the peo ple must obey, we will accept and set tle that issue as one involving the in tegrity and safety of American insti tutions. ’if love the principles of true de mocracy because they are founded in patriotism and upon justice and fair ness towuitJ all interests. I ana proud of my party’v.rganization because censervati\»l,vlPM;dy aud Gib euforeei^sidre passed by further legislation, and to have engrafted upon it such modifica tions as will more nearly meet demo cratic hopes and aspirations. "I cannot be mistaken as to the ne cessity of logical and sensible tariff reform. The extent to which this is recognized in the legislation already secured is one of its encouraging and redeeming features; but it is vexatious to recall that while free coal and iron ore have been denied ns, a recent let ter of the secretary of tho treasury disclosea-the fnotthat both might have been made free by the annual surren der of only about $700,000 of unnec essary revenue. “I am sure that there is a common habit of underestimating the import ance of free raw materials in tarift leg islation, and of regarding them as only related to concessions to be made to our manufacturers. The truth is, their influence is so far-reaching that if dis regarded a complete and beneficent scheme of tariff reform cannot be in- augurated. “When we give to our manufactur ers free raw materials we unshackle American enterprise and ingenuity, and these will open tho doors of for eign markets to the reception of our wares and give opportunity for tho continuous and remunerative employ ment of Americau labor. With mate rials cheapened by their freedom from tariff charges the cost of their product must be correspondingly cheapened. Thereupon, justice and fairness to the consumer would demand that the man ufacturers be obliged to submit to such a readjustment and modification of the tariff upon their finished goods as 1 would secure to the poople the benefits of the reduced cost of their manufact ure, and shield the consumer against the exactions of inordinate profits. It will thus be seen thai free raw materi al and a just and fearless regulation | and reduction of tho tariff to meet the I changed conditions, would carry to ■miry humble home in the land tho of increased comfort and Hiving. .is. ii nu l well to ! boldlv h 1 who have i ls also a tariff reform',’ 1 of his own. continue the strugyiers, wlm are in the ing to open warfare glad to say, guarding against treachery uno heartedness in their camp. . , “Tariff reform will not be sett. until it is honestly aud fairly settled in the interest and to the benefit of a patient and long-suffering people. Yours very truly, “Grover Cleveland.” SOUTHERN SPECIALS NOTING THE MOST INTERESTING OCCURRENCES OF THE DAY. And Presenting an Epitome of the South’s Progress and Prosperity. Secretary Hoke Smith has detailed Professor Frank W. Clarke, a chemist in the geological survey, to represent the interior department as a member of the board of management of the government exhibit at the Cotton States and International exposition,to be held at Atlanta, Ga., next year. The North Carolina agricultural de partment Monday completed a report on the cotton and woolen mills in North Carolina up to August Ist. It shows that there are 170, a gain of nine in twelve mouths. Goston county leads with twenty-two mills, Alamance has twenty, Randolph fifteen and Mecklenburg fourteen. The Tennessee River, Asheville and Coosa railroad was sold at auction at Birmingham, Ala., for $14,000. The road was bid in by James Little for J. E. Zunts, trustee for the bondholders. The line runs from Whitney to Ashe ville, a distance of four aud a half miles. The road will now be com pleted from Asheville to Anderson. In the face of a general belief in the magnificent condition of the cotton crop, The Garland News pub lished in the heart of the cotton region of Dallas county, Texas, states that in that section half of the cotton crop has been destroyed by boll worms, and if the showers continue, the crop is likely to he entirely destroyed. The democratic ticket, so far as nominated by the California state con vention is as follows: Governor, James H. Budd ; lieutenant governor, William T. Jeters; justice of the supreme court (long term), Jackson Temple and James E. Muiphy; justice of the su preme court (shortterm), E. A. Bridge ford; secretary of state, Ben M. Mad dox; attorney general, A. B. Parris. Fire broke out Saturday night in the commission house of Jones, Lee & Co., Norfolk, Va., and communicated to three adjoining buildings stored with pea nuts and cotton. The fire department has recently been reorganized and fought the flames savagely, keep ing the loss down to $50,000, al though at one time it looked as if the whole block would go. The property destroyed was fully covered by insur ance. At Birmingham, Ala., the conclu sioa of the preliminary trial of 120 miners for participation in the Pratt Mines riot was reached Friday, The tiial was in progress for more than three weeks and during that time about 600 were examined. Out of the 120 tried, 95 were turned loose. Ten are held without bond and fifteen were allowed bonds. There is strong evi dence against the ten that have not been allowed bond and there is a probability that they will stretch hemp. TO ATTACK PEKIN. Japanese Preparing to March Upon the City.

But. after all. it Is °dy the splen dors ol a king’s highway, over which we are to maroh on to eternal conquests, You and I have seen men who tried to rest here, They bUllded themselves great stores. They gathered around them tho pnt ronage of merchant princes. Th« Voice of their bid shook the money markets I hey had stock tn the most suefleMlnl rallKKids and in “safetv deposits great rolls of Gov ernment securities. They had emblaione carriages, high mettle 1 steeds, tootmon, plate that confounded lords and senators who sat at their tables, tapestry on Which floated tho richest designs of foreign looms, splendor of canvas on the walls, eaqulslte ness of music rising among pedestalsor bronze and dropping, soft as light, on snow ofsoulDture.

They rattle the lattice. They look under the oanopy. With rough touch they startle his pulses They cry out at 12 o’clock at night “Awake, man! sleep when Messrs. ■Stocks?

From falleries of beauty they throw garlands. rom housetops, as ho passes in long pro cession, they shako out the national stand ards. Here let him rest. It is 11 o’clock at night.

Hush, hush t “Wake up,” says a rough voice. “Political sentiment is changing* How if you should lose this place of honor? Wake Up. The morning papers are to be full of denunciation. Hearken to the executions of those who once caressed you. Hy to morrow night there will be multitudes sneer- Jhg at the words which last night you ex pected would be universally admired. How can you sleep when everything depends upon the next turn of the great tragedy! Up, man. Off this pillow.” The man, with head yet hot from his last oration, starts up suddenly, looks out upon the night, but sees nothing except the flowers that lie on his stand, or the scroll from which he read his speech, or the books from whicn he quoted his authorities, and goes to his desk to finish his neglected correspondence, or to pen an indignant line to some reporter, or sketch the plan for a public defense against the assaults of the people. Happy when he got his first lawyer’s brief, exultant when he triumphed over his first political rival, yet, sitting on the very top of all that this world offers of praise, he excl.ims, “No rest, no rest.” * The very world that now applauds will soon hiss. That world said of the great Webster • “What a statesman ! What won derful exposition of the constitution ! A man for any position.” That same world •aid after awhile : “Down with him ! Ho is an office seeker. He is a sot! He is a liber tine. Away with him!” And there is no peace for the man until he lavs down his broken heart in the grave at Marshfield. Jeffrey thought that if he could only be judge that would be the making of him ; got to be judge and cursed the day in which ho was born. Alexander wanted to submerge the world with his greatness ; submerged it and then drank himself to death because hecould not stand the trouble. Burns thought he would give everything if he could win the favor of courts and princes ; won it, aud amid the shouts of a great entertainment when poets and orators and duchesses were adoring his genius wished that he could creep back into the obscurity in which he dwelt when he wrote of the Daisy, we?, modest, crimson tipped flower.
