Washington, Nov. 28.—There is no
]vl;.iigi-r any doubt that tho members of
j the i-abiui t are nut of oiu- mind with
j the pr*.- .,M,;iit on ius now iiaanciai pol-
| icy, si ii,*o u liocame known that
Mi*. Cleveland was going to take radrral
grt-und on money question soreral
of the aecivd Rave been consulting
privately^mh leaders of the party in
3fer; vblith aud west. Their natural in-
f\ cluu.ti ms wore to difftr with the presi
dent, but they hesitated about how far
their convictions would justify them iu
j going. Mr. Cleveland is not a man with
I Whom those holding office by his cour
tesy care to disagree as a rule. These
members of tile cabinet were decidedly
loath to take issue with him. But they
have now become convinced that duty
to their party requires them to speak,
aud when congress assemble* it will be
clearly understood that the president is
not sustained by the entire cabinet.
The divergence of opinion has pro
gressed so rapidly that the president
and these gentlemen are now irrevoca
bly apart upon the financial question.
As the situation now stands the presi
dent will say one tiling publicly to con
gress. and some of his advisers will pri
vately advise an opposite course. The
president is firmly convinced that im
mediate and radical financial legislation
is necessary. Recent events have led
him to believe that under existing con
ditions the maintenance of' the gold re
serve and the upholding of the national
credit is entirely at the caprice, the self
interest or the “patriotism” of the great
moneyed men aud institutions of the
country, and that “patriotism” is an
uncertain quantity when applied to fi
nancial corporations with dividends to
pay quarterly. He believes that the
fact has been demonstrated that these
interests absolutely control tho national
credit and finances through the hold
which the existing law gives. The
president's idea is that the govcrufiient’s
financial embarrassments maybe traced
to the clamor of tiie silver coinage men
aad tile inflationists with their demands
for*unlimited issues of currency based
upon silver bullion, together with the
opposition to retirement of the curren
cy. He t.links the .country has had too
much of t nis policy already, and a!
though tha repeal of the Sherman act
gave some relief, it was not sufficient
for the necessities of the case. His idea
is to take immediate action toward re
commending remedial legislation.
Right here is where the dissenting
members of his cabinet are said to part
company, \vitk him. They want to
postpone radical action for a while,
fearing tlm •■ffi-cts of the president's
“remedial legislation.”
, 'M.: uihlDcmbbrats of proinjuence ^ei-'
C *ve timi the president is approaching
cioieiy tho lines of monometallism aud
the goal -standard, aud that lie has a de
cided’ preference for tlie counsels of
eastern fiawusi.Ti ov-r those of western
and southern party “leaders. This im
pression is shared by aoiuo.ot the presi
dent' eatatfJteud>-is-rs. and they fear
InS ideas of remedial legislation may be
too radicaL -There is strong feeling on
the part of somo of the president’s ad
visers against being precipitate in the
handling- of the financial question.
Those who advocate, this claim that
nothing can be doiie now iu the way' of
effective legislation that no harm can
come front waiting.
But tfie president becomes impatient
at suggestions of withholding -mstion,
and he welcomes any now argument
which cau be advanced in support of
his stand for prompt aud effective ac
tion upon the financial question. He is
said to view the situation which con
fronts the government's! fiscal affairs as
being so grave as to warrant laying
aside all questions of party policy, and
proceeding upon the basis of adjusting
the financial affairs, without regard to
anything except the main point at issue,
the preservation of the national credit
aud the financial prosperity of the coun
try.
The cabinet is practically a unit in
favor of a commission. They believe,
that a currency commission will be fa
vored by congress in its present temper
much more quickly than will any plan
that can possibly be devised by the ad
ministration—a plan which would'only
lead to a long and bitter fight and no
result. It is only on the question of
expediency that a disagreement, if such
it can be called, has arisen between the
president and some of his cabinet offi
cials. The president is a born fighter,
and no doubt would like to put through
his own financial scheme.

' should the administration propose a fi
nancial measure it will be passed with

KOLB’S MANIFESTO. .
Kettors are at a StamUtlU I'ntil Saturday
noils Around.
• IttONTGOMERV, Nov. 2S.—The methods
: lntemle.1 to be pursued by tuc Kolbites
In thi matter of Kolb’s inauguration
Saturday remain a mystery. Reports
! from different sections of the state in
dicate that' many of Kolb’a followers
will bo here on Saturday, but whether
to assist him in forcibly taking the reins
of government or to lend the dignity of
numbers to his inauguration, is not
known,
_ The Populist leaders here say that
Kolb has not consulted them before nor
since the issuance of his manifesto do*
| daring himself elected -governorTand
I stating that by - the igrace of God he
j would take his seat. and they are there-
j fore taking no hand in the matter.
They all unite in the opinion that Kolb
, can not assemble a sufficiently large or
| well equipped force here on Saturday to
offer any sort of resistance to the state
j troops, all of whom .Rave been ordered
I to attend the inangnration of Colonel
I Oates. Captain Kolb’s scheme is no
j more understood by his lieutenants here
i than by his political adversaries.
I Many think he will be sworn in and
will then instruct the county officers of
liis party to refrain from paying over
any moneys due the state for taxes into
the hands of the state officers installed.
I nder the Alabanm law this would be
treason, and Kolb would be arrested for
it. It is believed he will then appeal to
the supreme court,, and make his alleged
election his defence.
Kolb will not. show his hand, and
simply says he i(Hil‘ be inaugurated as
stated in his manifesto. Governor
Jones will not talk, but suggests that
woe be unto thg uiau who attempts an
insurrection agaiifkt the peace and dig
nity of the laws of-Alabama.

received from Colonel Elmore, com
manding the ThijCid regiment of Ala

munition in the armories. According
ly, ,, detachment of five or sixmenfrorii
each company has been detailed to guard
them. The detail will be kept up until
after Saturday next, a change of detail
taking place every; night. The cause of
this jirecaution is the fear that the
Kolbites and Populists may resort to vio
lence in their effort- to inaugurate Kolb
as governor of Alabama next Saturday
in Montgomery. . There are some 2,000
or 8,000 rounds of' ammunition stored in

P° rt v^^^vent to the stage door of tho
Chicago opera house, where Stuart Rob
son and his company were putting on
for the first time this year Bnckstone’s

member of the company.
The first act was drawing to a close
with Mr Robson, Mrs. Robson aud Miss
Lynch in animated dialogue. Miss
Lynch as Mrs. Flowberry. had just
said, “The distant relative has come,"
when Goodwin, whose face was as red
as his hair, wearing a long nlster tight
ly buttoned from chiu to heels, gyrated
on to the stage.
Taking off his hat, lie nodded and
said:'
“'Scuse me, ladies, what is this play
all alx it?” Then to Robson: "Ain’t
I in it. Rob? Introduce me.”
Robson instantly took in the situa
tion and said:
“Ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Good
win."
Then aside to Croodwln: "Now tret
off.”
Robson almost threw Goodwin baok
into the wings.
CARNEGIE’S DENIAL.
Tbc Great Mill Mss Corrects Quotation,
Attributed to Hie Skflegl.
Washington, Nov. 28.—Andrew Car
negie has addressed to a-personal friend
in this city the following letter in re
gard to his reported remark that "men
who died rich died disgraced:"
New Yord, Nov. 24,
My Drab Sir—Yours of the twenty-
fourth instant with inclosnres 1 find lie-
fore me upon my return from Pittsburg.
It- is easy -to take a few. words from a
speech and give t he wrong impression. The
remarks I made were at a private dinner
te the library commission in Pittsburg,
Some one must have given the reporter
a synopsis. What I have said about
wealth rimy be found in my own writings
and not in extracts from supposed speech
es. I had no reference to men who died
leaving competencies, for I lielieve such
men are the salt of civilization;;..' but to
men leaving millions in securities which
they could have used in their lifetime.
I said 1 believed the day would come
when such inen would die disgraced, and
that the tribute of approval would tic
given to those upon whose tombstones
could lie truthfully written: “He lived
without ostentation and he died poor,” as
was said of Pitt.
Bo4 Outlook for Wheat la Kaaiaa.
St. Loris, Nov, 28.—A special from
Topeka says that threo-fourths of tho
wheat crop sown in the western third of
Kansas this fall is ruined by the contin
ued drouth. In the latter part of Sep
tember light rains fell, which caused
the grain to sprout, but in thousands of
fields the plant is dead. In the central
belt the ground is very dry, and the
plant will die if rain does not come
soon. Parties from that section say that
farmers are greatly discouraged by the
continued drouth.

Blnnd Urged for Governor*
Washington; Nov. 2&—Congressman
Bland is being urged to become a can-
didate for governor of Missouri in 1896.
Lively correspondence looking to this
end is going on between Washington
and Missouri. It is deemed highly im
portant by Mr. Bland’s friends that he
authorize an announcement of his- in
tentions at once. Such action, it is
argued, will give the apostle of free sil
ver a clear field.

OLD CLOTHES IN DEM4
ult to
Year.
demand for old clothes appears
to be looking up so far as New York is
concerned. I do not know whether it is
because of the recent election and the
consequence of betting on the wrong
ticket or the melancholy sequel of the
last year’s hard times, by reason of
which men feel ~ the necessity of wear
ing out their clothing instead of taming
it over to the secondhand dealer.
If you should be accosted on Broad
way a couple of times a trip by agents
of the secondhand dealers with the ques
tion whether you have any old clothes
to sell, it may uot.be taken as an indi
cation that your, attire is ont of date
and coveted by the trade, but that tho
trade is running short of stock and is
pushing out for a fresh supply. It is
better to consider the attention a subtle
flattery, that yon ’ have the appearance
of an individual who doesn’t care for
dress and are likely to havo a score of
better trousers hanging np in olosets for
tho moths to feed upon.
Twice on a single afternoon last week,
while conversing with a friend on
Broadway, 1 was accosted by sharp
looking young men in the interests of
tho secondhand trad3. My friend was
inclined to resent the intrusion. lie
said it was getting too hot for him when
he was beset by old clothes men every
time ho stopped on Broadway.
"Is there anything out of the way
abont me?” he inquired, looking him
self over critically. "That is the second
time you’ve asked me that question to
day, ”
"I beg yonr pardon, sir, ” said the so
licitor for the secondhand clothing
house. "We didn’t want the suit you
have on. ”
We walked fully a block before my
friend, realized what I was laughing at,
but when tho humor of it finally per
meated his intellectual system he took
tue in for a glass of vichy and milk.—

The Enterprising and Honest Dutch Have
Captured Gotham.
The town has suddenly gone Holland
mad, not as that thrifty little kingdom
did when it lost its heart over tulips
and threatened to bring the finances of
the country to ruin, but wisely, dis- \
creetly mad, as New Yorkers become.
The china shops are filled with Delft,
the silversmith’s oases with Dutch sil
ver and the very milliners display lit- '
tie Dutch bonnets, fashioned liko the
quaint peaked caps worn by tho gqod ..
dames of old Amsterdam. Even Dutch '
furniture has beooine a craze, and fash
ionable shoppers are passing by tho gor
geous empire styles, decorated with tho
laurel loaf, to buy tho Dutch sofas and
cabinets, curiously inlaid with rare
woods and wrought with picturesquo
carving.
In far better tasto is this Dutch fur
niture, fashioned, as it is, by hand to
meet the domestio needs of a sincere,
honest folk, than the empire furniture,
with its bizarre ornamentations of gild
ed metal and its mock classic patterns,
designed to suit a nowly created aris
tocracy. If we could but bring back tho
simple domestic spirit of the Dutch with
our Dutch fashions, it would settle many
a social problem, but Dutch fashions as
they now appear are as costly as the
gilded fashions of Louis XV or tho em
pire. It has long been an established
fact that one must pay most extrava
gantly for refined simplicity, so that
Delft is often almost as costly as Dres
den. There aro pretty fruit baskets in
Delft, “drug vases, ” low bedtime can
dlesticks, shoes aud the most altogether
delightful tiles imaginable, duplicating
in pattern old tiles, some of which still
exist in manor houses in old New York
and near Albany. It is now possible to
get almost all the new shapes in this
modern Delft, as it is a wise European
custom to savo all designs used in tha
china factory.—New York Tribane.
MILTON AND GLADSTONE.
The British Statesman Challenges the Poet
as n Translator or Horace.
This is Milton’s rendering of Horace,
book 1, ode 6 (Quia gractios Puer):
What slender youth,bedewed with liquid odors,
Courts thee on roses In some pleasant cave,
. Pyrrha? For'whom bind’s* thou'
In wreaths thy golden hair,
Plain in thy neatness? Oh,'how oft shall he
On faith and changed gods complain, and sea9
Bough with black winds and storms
Unwonted shall admire)
Who now enjoys thqo credulous, all gold. !
Who always vacant,’ always amiable
Hopes thee, of flattering gales
Unmindful. Hapless they
To whom thou untried seem’st fair! Me In my
vow’d
Picture the sacred wall declares to have hung .
My dank and dropping weeds
To the stern gpd of sea.
Mr. Gladstone,; at the age of 85, thus
renders thcse’beitu|ifnl lines:
What scented strlpUag, Pyrrha, woes thee now
In pleasant grotto, all with rOses fair?
For whom those auburn tresses blndest thou
With simple care?' - ;
Full oft shall he thine altered faith bewail,
.His altered gods,.and his Unwonted gaze
Shall watch the waters darkening to the gale
In wild ainaze.
Who now believing gloats on golden charms.
Who hopes thee ever void, "and ever kind.
Nor knows thy changeful heart nor the alarm*
Of changeful wind.
For mq let Neptune’s temple wall declare
How safe escaped in votive offering.
My dripping, garments own, suspended there,
Him ocean king.
Jim Root Loaves the Stage.
Jim Root, the locomotive engineer
whose heroism at Hinckley caused him
to fall into the hands of a theatrical
manager in New York city, has retired
from the stage and is home again after
playing a brief engagement at a salary
of $500 per week.
“I don’t like this acting business, ”
he said. "It may be all right for young
fellows, but I’m getting too old to start
in acting. It - keeps a man up too late
nights, and I never did like a night
run. The only thing that caught me
was the salary, and I couldn’t refuse
that”
It is understood that Mr. Root will
return to his vocation on the St Paul
and Uuluth line,—St. Paul Globe.
