President Cleveland's message is tlio snarl of a beaten candidate. In a docu ment which should be a dignified state paper he has taken pains to exhibit the soreness of a discarded politician because the policy which he had forced upon his party was defeated by the pcopl e. In his passion he loses his sense of the fitness of things. Even his worshiper in tho Ec-uinj Post attribute his use of " terms here and there which may be considered injudicious" to " the natural feelings of one who has" been beaten. X(i one will rind his respect for President Cleveland increased by his passionate talk about the " selfish greed and grasp ing avarice " of manufacturers as a class, or by his suggestion that they "improperly influence " voters, or by his frantic asser tion that corporations are " fast becoming the people's masters." It is not true, Mr. Cleveland, your defeat is proof. No other presidential candidate has ever had behind him as powerful array of "trusts, combinations and monopolies" as that which had been brought by executive and legislative favors to the support of Mr. Cleveland. The telephone conspiracy, the sugar trust, the whiiky ring, the combination of Vdl street bankers and sharpers who held over fifty millions of the public money, the AVashington real estate jobbers, the host of other jobs and monopolies which leagued with foreign manufacturers and importers to break down an Ameiican policy, hoped to own the government after Mr. Cleveland's re election. They failed and Mr. Cleveland and his free traders went down with them, and the decisive votes were cast, as everybody knows, by the plain people of the f irming regions who are not mas tered by corporations, and do not mean to b II..' who scolds sixty millions cf people for failing to appreciate his transcendent wisdom and devoted patriotism offers no new arguments in self-justification, but not unnaturally borrows from the anarch ists and communists of Paris a phrase, " the communism of capital," and by comparison justifies the bomb-thrower who "attacks in wild disorder the citadel of r;de." . -Most conservative and digni fied, these suggestions ! But they moye the nation to reflect with satisfaction that it n t only declined to re-elect such a chief magistrate, but never would have elected him had not the voice of the people been suppressed in certain states. The attempt to stir up anarchy in this cour.try, by pandering to ignorance and pas; hiii, by inflaming employed against employer and poor against rich, is not worthy of any citizen in a self-goyernin stale, but it is nevertheless the only resort of the free trader in debate when con fronted with evidence of the harmonious progress and unexampled prosperity of all classes and all industries under the protctive system. Tho president sacrifices historical ac curacy to his free trade theory when he argu. s that the necessity for a reduction of revenue i3 as great and urgent as it was. The public revenue is no longer swelling but diminishing, and would diminish much more were the laws iin pn'inv duties on imports construed and enforced in the interests of the people of this -untry, and aeconling to the mani fest intent of those laws. The ppro priat'ons have been largely increased by the p.esent congress, a fact which the president's brief reference to the finances does not make prominent, liut it Js true that tiiere is no controversy between parti s as to the propriety of a reduction of rev -nue, and in reaching that conclu sion tae people do not intend to adopt the i lorant notion that all money left in their hands is worth to them 6 per cent annur.ily, which, strange to say, finds its way ii;to the message of the president.

Tribune. rLAl'tVMOUTil WEEKLY HKUA.1A), WHY ENGLAND IS SORRY. The London Daily News, referring to that part of the message in which Mr. Cleveland treats of the fishery treaty, ex presses English sentiment a lien it says: "In regard to t!i- IN i : -s question it is impossible to dis.no.- tne opinion ex pressed by the Pre-ident. It it impossible to deny the fact tlia tli ii.ilm-tK'es which prevented the rat'ui. ration of the treaty are likely t !; iidim potent in the government of Ojn. 1 1 trrisoii." As the opinion expressed in the mes sage is that tiie sh iiiK'l'ul Chamberlain Bayard arr ing on -nt which tlu senate re jected was "a satisfactory, practical, find final adjustment upon a basis honorable and just to both parties," it is not sur prising that England heartily endorses it. Rights that have been asserted and strongly maintained by administration after administration were surrendered by the one-sided treaty that Chamberlain and Bayard drew up and that Cleveland en dorsed. Luckily a senate that was not under the pro-British influence that em anated from the White House lolled tne disgraceful attempt to sacrifice American rights. The thought that this attempt cannot be renewed with anv hope of success for at least four years more add to the poignancy of England's grief over the defeat of Glover Cleveland. This year a patriotic senate was the only thing that stood between the con ception and the execution of a plot to benefit England at the expense of Amcr ica. For the next four years the patriot- ism of the senate will not again be tested in this way. A thonuighgoing Amen can administration would just as soon think of surrendering American territory to England as advising the ratification of a treaty that sacrificed the lights of American fishermen. The London Dally News expresses this thought in a differ ent way when with ill-concealed sorrow it remarks that "the influences patriotic Ameiican sentiment which prevented the ratification of the treaty are likely to be only more potent, in the government of General Harrison." However much England may have cause to grieve over the sudden arrest of the development of tho pro-British senti ment in this countrj', as evidenced by the defeat of the administration that fathered the fishery treaty, thoroughgoing Ameri cans have reason to rejoice that in the person of General Harrison there will be at the head of the government a man im bued with the American spirit, whose first care will be for the welfare of the Republic and not for the good will of England.

They had given it out that they would hold a big meeting in thatcity Sunday, (yesterday) to express their opinion of the convict: of Hronek, and his sentence to tw. !v years in the penitentiary. The chief o.' police notineci tne owners or i.:e vario--s , Dalls in the city who have hitherto L . bored anarchit assemblies, that they must not open them now or at any other time for these gatherings, and expressed his de termination to suppress any attempt to meet at Ilaymarket or anywhere else in the city. lie .ays .lis time for anarchist meeting has passed and hereafter no .open gather ing will be permitted.

SO WDEN'S REASONS. Mr. Sowden, representative in congress from tha Lehigh district in Pennsylvania, one of the four democrats v?"ho voted agaii-st the Mills bill, sa3's: "1 have lo regrets or apologies to make. For a distance of twenty-eight miles, from the point where the Lehigh empties into the Deleware, in Northampton county, to Copley, in my own county of Lehigh, thete i cue ctictiruous line of furnaces, iron works, machine huous, cfeel jrcrks, silk mills, thread mills, eemeiit factorjes.. pipe works, car works and other indus tries.

Exquisitely sheer and beautiful is the new drawn-linen work, comprising, as does the assortment, articles of table- furnishing that fairly, I confess it, turned me green with envy. Dainty table-covers of linen, the texture around tho eelges drawn into exquisite cobweb-like patterns with small, square d'oyleys to correspond, are high priced, but they are well worth tho mouey. More novel, if not so sub stantial, are d'oyleys of sea-weed; they are made of natural sea-weed, and either colored or white net. The process I was courageous to enquire it is to place tha seaweeel in a large basin of water, which spreads the tendrils; then a piece of net on paper is slipped underneath and lifted gradually out of the water; it is then placed between sheets of blotting paper and under heavy weights. When dry, the paper is removed, tho net cut round, or squre, and finished with an edging of very fine lace. No gum is re quired. Another pretty fancy for the break fast, tea or luucheon table, is a covering made of oatmeal cloth, a sheer, odd looking fabric. It is edged with four or five rows of satin ribbon, placed on with herring bone stitches and a fall of lace. These covers, lined or uulined, are simply lovely. Oatmeal cloth can be used for many purposes, such as pillow shams, tidies, table mats, etc. Bolting cloth is a very tlelicate, transparent fabric, out of which the most charming articles are fashioned, from iH'.Ni";i Is to a toilet mat.

Years ago, when this part of Nebraska was first settled, for want of cribs, the homesteaelers left their corn in large heaps upon the ground without coverall winter and the grain came out in the spring hut little damaged. the same practice is still in vogne to a certain ex tent, but lately the winters have been elift'trent and the loss has been greater, Upon this subject the Ravenna News tays: "The practice of piling corn upon the ground for lack of crib room is pre vailing to the usual extent this year, 'True, there is one virtue in a crib bound- I ed only by the atmosphere on the sides ";1 the blue vault of heaven aboye it will hold all the corn you have to put in it, but it is undesirable protection. A man blessed with an abundant crop of corn ought to see that it is to his best in terest to provide shelter. Each successive year the cribs will be useful to him, and the loss of corn by snow, rain, rats, etc.. if piled upon the ground will nearly pay for the lumber necessary to construct cribs. To let the corn go uncribbed is a penny wise and pound fooiiou policy which can only bring financial disaster if pursued to its legitimate end." Kear ney Hub. The last act in the election of a presi dent of the United states will take place on the second Tuesday in January. On that date the electoral college of each state meets at its state capitol.

DIVISION ENDORSED. Tho convention of North Dakota which lias just been held at Jamestown, took the action that it was expected to, in favor of a elivi.-ion of tho territory. This sets at rest all epiestions regarding the sentiment of tho people of North Da kota. It took action in advum-big the course of statehood for North and South Dakota, and other territories. It de clared in favor of a special session of the Fifty-first congress, in the eyeiit of the present congress failing to elo anything for the admission of tins territories and united the co-operation of Montana and "Washington in the movement for ael mission. The convention adopted a resolution urging the territorial legislature to promptly provide, after its meeting in January, for a constitutional convention for North Dakota. South Dakota and and the other territories will also need to bestir themselves in preparing for ad mission. The constitution of South Da kota will require amendment, and the terms ejf the state officers haying expired he must have another election before becoming a state. Jlontana and 'Wash ington have state constitutions, Put one being four and the other being ten years old, they would hardly serve the present purpose. There will have to be consti tutional conventions and elections in both territories. It will thus be seen that all the territories liave a great dea to accomplish before they can become states, and there should be a little de lay as possible in doing it.

Tho New Orleans Tini'v-D'NO'tn e remarks thi;t " (he democratic party is a national anel not a sectional one, and it is for this reason that t he people of the southern states belong to it." If that is tho best reason that tho people of tho southern btates can give for holding fto-t to tho democratic party it is high time that they cut loose from it. Freedom is national, and it is tho cornerstone of the republican party. Slavery was se'ctioual, and yet the democracy built upon it. And both parties have been consistently true to their origin. During tho war tho republican party took the side of the nation, while the democratic party took the side of a section. Toelay the repub lican party is battling for a free ballot, just as it used to battle for free speech, free soil, free men. On the other hand, the democracy, btill dominated by a sec tionalism, is making comon cause with those who have conspired to make the south solid by frauds upon the b.fliot box. If the 2'iines Democrat d ' hires to elo well by the south it will refrain from uttering the old nonsense'.
