I A day or two ago, in an inter view published in the Baltimore • Sun Mr Glevelend reviewed his own administration, and a very interesting Mr^ and sensible interview it is. Cleveland feels that he has been misunderstood, in some respect, and that he has made en emies in his own party when he had no intention of doing so. He has been charged with being exclusive, and with refusing to consult members of his own party important matters con¬ cerning which they had a right to expect to be consulted. Mr. Cleveland says that he has always gone out of his way to be agret able to everybody who called upon him, and has always been anxious to eousult with democrat¬ ic congressmen and other leading members of his own party. He has not been able to accede to all the requests of prominent demo¬ crats, because he has always put the public interests ahead of per¬ sonal or political friendships, and in that way ho has made enemies. He started out with the view of giving the country an administra¬ tion conducted on buisiness prin¬ ciples, and he thinks he has suc¬ ceeded, although lie has offended a great many in his own party by his course. He declares that he did not want a renomination, and that he will retire from office with a feeling of genuine pleasure. He does not expect to be nominated four years hence, and does not want to be, and in retiring to private life about the only regret he has is that he could not consistently with liis oath of office, and with his views of his duty to the country, comply moye frequently with the demands made upon him by his personal and political friends. Mr. Cleveland talked quite freely about the leading features of liis administration. Ho is as much of a tariff reformer as ever he was, and says that the tariff is bound to be tlie great issue in Iho next national contest, and iu every other Presidenital contest until the burdens imposed upon tlie toiling masses by the present tar¬ iff laws are removed. He does not believe that the democracy was beaten on the tariff issue in No¬ vember. Ire attributes its defeat to other causes. He believes that he has faith fully executed the civil service re¬ form law, and ho declares it to be his opinion that civil service re¬ form has come to stay. When his administration began the depart¬ ments were filled with incompetent men and women who had secured places in the service through favoritism. They have been elim¬ inated, and the service is better now than at any previous time in the history of the country. He has aimed steadily to elevate and purify the service, and in pursu¬ ance of this aim ho has had to de¬ ny places to many democrats who naturally expected to be provided for by a democratic admins!ration. Speaking of the south, tl e Presi¬ dent says he is gratified at the effect of his administration on the southern people, both white and black. He is of the opinion that the race problem can be worked out by the south without outside interference. He lias never made any distinction between the differ erd sections of the country, aud sincerely hopes that never again will a distinction be made be¬ tween them. When Mr. Cleveland’s adminis tration was inaugurated, under reports preyi of official corruption familiar OU s administrations were to the whole country. There are no such reports connected with Mr. Cleveland’s administration. It has nothing to hide.—Savannah News.

These remedies have won their great popularity purely their Dr. W. H. & Son DrnggmSs. The New York World makes this dig at the protection leaders and the party of spoils: “:'x Gov.

Yiee-Prosi dent elect Morton lias just mace a investment in co d lands, Mr. Blaine is extending _ pur 11 s chases in the same direction, uni the protection leaders now are going in for “four yours moro” of taxing the people for their own further enrichment.” There is an old saying that “knowledge is power.” This is not true. Action is power, and when guided by knowledge produces the largest measure of results. I have encountered men who knew more of the science of war than Grant, Meado or Hancock, whom I would not havo intrusted with a picket guard.—Gen. Sherman. It is a fact not generally known that the poultry interest of the United States is larger than iho wheat crop or tlie cyttoy. Iu 18H8 the statistics show that the wheat crop was worth $488,000,000; the cotton crop, $410,000,000; the dai¬ ry product, $254,000,000, and the chicken crop, $500,000,000. Iu that year there were imported into this country 15,000,000 dozen eggs ; worth in money $2,G77,000. Of course, these figures do not in¬ duce the chickens raised in small numbers in tha backyards or cities or on small suburban places; so that the interest is roally larger than hero appears. Yet how few people there are who really dovotu any intelligent care to the raising of chickens! A colored damsel of Athens threw her household into conster¬ nation Saturday night. She de¬ clared she had religion and forth¬ with tore off her clothing, hurled chairs around; turned the bed up¬ side down and performed many other wonderful freaks, all tlu time singing, shouting and pray mg. It was pronounced religion a genuine by case of old-fashioned many of her companions, but the gentleman for whom she was at work chanced to pass by and dis¬ pelled tbe illusion by saying sh« had stolon a pint of his liquor. j£ 7*BLACK-CJJAUQMT tea cure* Constljiatlon. lt is a strange thing to us—and ono which should be added to tho seven wonders of the world—why a man gets mad when dunned for tho small amount due a newspa¬ per when ho is often dunned for hundreds of dollars through th< bank and nothing is thought of t except that the amount must be met or the credit of the party b ruined. Honor is honor where ever you find it, and the small matter of paying subeription to a paper should bo as much subject to protest as the bank account, honoralfly speaking.—EX. Tho people of New York city are making liberal subscriptions to the confederate Soldiers’ Home, at Austin, Texas. This is another evidence that the war is over. The different t between the perversion of the ballot north and south seems to bo this: that iu the south it is treated natural as political, and and in the north as inevitable. Tho northern orator harps on the few instances of it in the south but is silent about the more numerous instances in bis own section. The supremo court of Georgia rendered a decision the other day which should receive the careful attention of county commissioners and other officers whose duty it is to let out coutracts for building bridges. The court decided that whore the officers failed to take u sufficient guaranty from tho con¬ tractors, and any party was in¬ jured owing to a defect in tin bridge built by them, the injured party could sue either the con tractors or the county. The de¬ cision, no doubt, will make coun¬ ty commissioners moro careful.
