The President Gratified ,
The Woshlngton-corrospondcntfl Con
cur In saying tliat Mr. Cleveland was
exceedingly pleased with the result of
the election in Now York. So was Dan
Lament , and so indeed were all the
members of the administration. It Is
finny to understand that It was a very
great relief to them , for the situation
bcforo the election had anything but a
promising appearance. This it was that
brought Mr. Cleveland to the rcscuo
with his hearty approval of everybody
on the democratic ticket and his wish
for the success of the entire croWd.
Of course the friends of the president
claim that it was ho who saved the day ,
and unquestionably they have good
grounds forthecluim. Hwouldccrtainly
bo unjust to deny to Governor Hill a
measure of commendation forhlsuftbrts ,
but the friends of Mr. Cleveland will
give the governor just as little credit as
possible. They now feel secure , and
they will have no divided honors.
Now York will send to the national
democratic convention n full Cleveland
delegation , with not a man in it who
will not be for the president first , last
and all the timo. If there has over
been any question as to whether Mr.
Cleveland would secure n nomination it
need bo entertained no longer. It is
settled beyond any contingency if ho
llvo until the convention is held.
But does the result of tholato election
in New York remove all doubt as to
whether Mr. Cleveland can carry that
btatc next year ? If so his ro-olection
must also bo regarded as a foregone
conclusion. It docs not appear to bo
necessary , however , to make this con
cession. The victory of the democracy
in that state last Tuesday undoubtedly
gives the party an advantage , yet there
are several reasons why this advantage
may bo lost bcforo next November. The
course of the representatives of the
party in congress will have an inlluenco ,
and , from present indications , they do
not scorn likely to accomplish anything
that will commend the party to the fur
ther .support of that class of people who
want relief from oppressive taxation.
It is also a question whether the admin
istration can hold its independent sup
porters. There are some signs of n dis
position among this class to revolt as a
rebuke to the president for his
interference in the Now York ana
Massachusetts campaigns. This re
markable conduct of Mr. Cleveland
has greatly lessened the infatuation of
many of the independents , since it has
shown them that the lofty appearance
of unselfishness assumed by the president
was purely an alTeotation , as insincere
as his professions of devotion to civil
service reform have been shown to bo
whenever adherence to such professions
might work any injury to the party.
Nevertheless Mr. Cleveland will bo
the candidate of his party next year ,
and it would be idle to deny that ho will
bo a strong candidate. With the knowl
edge of whom it must fight the repub
lican party can have no excuse for fail
ing to select for its standard bearer its
strongest and most available loader.
Duped Directors.
The story of the suspension of the
Fifth National bank of St. Louis dis
closes the fact invariably developed by
such occurrences , that the directors of
the institution were ignorant of Us af
fairs and allowed themselves to bo com
pletely duped by the president and
cashier. There was , of course , the most
unquestioning confidence in thcso of
ficials , and they wore allowed to conduct
the business in their own way , with
rarely an inquiry as to how they were
doing it , and no such thing as an inves
tigation over suggested. Being thus se
cure in the confidence of the directors ,
and having every reason to feel safe
against any close or searching examina
tion of the bank affairs , the president
and cashier went into all sorts of
speculations , loaned money freely whore
they were interested , and getting in
deeper and moro deeply all the time
at last brought the bank to ruin. The
government examiner found that the
institution had been insolvent for four
years , and ho discovered a condition of
rottenness that surpassed all his previ
ous experience in the oxaminatiou o (
crooked banks.
The directors of the bank are practi
cal business men of long experience ,
but they scorn to have shown only the
merest perfunctory interest in this
branch of their investments. If they
alone suffered their neglect to perform
their duties It would bo of little consequence
quence , but it has brought Ions to manj
others who hird every reason to suppose
that these men were giving the bank
such supervision as it was
their duty to give , and thus
guarding the interests of depositors and
others having dealings with the bank ,
Their omission to perform what was re
quired by them by virtue of their posi
tion was therefore simply criminal
although the law may not so regard it ,
The directors of the Fidelity bank ol
Cincinnati were also ignorant of whnl
Harper and the cashier were doing with
the funds of the bank , and were dupci
just as the directors of the St. Louis
bank have been. It is the same story it
every case of u national bank failure
The Cincinnati rascals are in prison
and undoubtedly those at St. Louis wil
have a similar fato. It would bo well i
the directors who have neglected theii
their duty were amenable to a like punishment
ishmont , the justice of which no one
would question.
There has boon a number of imtiona
bank failures within the past few month
and the developments in every cas
have been very similar. Confidence ii
the managing officials was so great tha
they were permitted to run the affair :
of the institutions as they saw proper
without check , restriction or sense o
responsibility to any one. Such libcrtj
of action and freedom from control of
fers a temptation to most men which Ii
very apt to become irresistible. At al
events the fall of many men who by i
long career of integrity and usofulnes :
have won confidence proves that it i ;
dangerous to relax a-rcgulnrsupervisior
over those who have the handling
and the disposal of the money o
others. Hank directors should direct

Political affairs in England hnvo de
veloped no new features during the past
week , and do not appear likely to until
tho'roassombling of parliament. Mean
while the government continues to en
force its policy in Ireland , though it
would scorn less aggressive , than for
merly. Just now a matter which is
commanding the very earnest attention
of the government is the demand of the
unemployed thousands of London , who
continue to clamor with increasing vigor
for relief. At the recent lord mayor's
banquet Lord Salisbury made this sub
ject the main feature of his speech ,
thereby conspicuously showing the
great importance ho attached to
it. The situation is undoubt
edly serious , nnd it is reported
that London is profoundly concerned
as to what may result if means are not
found to satisfy the appeals of the un
employed. The London News says of
the destitution among the laboring
population that it is simply heartrending
ing to investigate. Another authority
says that the distress is very real and
is growing in volume every day. There
are from 100,000 to 120,000 people out of
work in London , while foreign workmen
are pouring in by every steamer. No
fewer than 25 per cent of the board
schoolchildren go to school every morn
ing without breakfast. Street benches ,
railway arches , bridges and the
grass in the parks receive
the sleeping forms of thou
sands of poor wretches every night.
'Pawnshops nro filling and houses
being emptied in many parts of London ,
especially in the cast nnd south. And
the deserted rural districts are pouring
in their streams of unemployed human
ity almost every flay. London is becoming -
coming the most fearful problem which
any statesman or social reformer has
over had to face. And no one seems to
know very well what to do. These un
fortunate people are being driven to
exasperation by the conduct of the au
thorities In suppressing their meetings
and debarring them from such oppor
tunities to make known their condition
and their wants. Under such circum
stances they are easily operated upon
by those who counsel violence , and i (
the harsh measures of the authorities
are continued there is every reason to
expect a. very serious state of affairs in
London before the winter is passed.

The attention of Europe is centered
upon San Remo , whore the crown prince
of Germany , attended by several disa
greeing doctors , la receiving treatment
for the malady which Is now very gen
erally believed to bo Incurable. There
appears to bo no longer a reasonable
ground of doubt that the growth In the
prince's throat is a cancer , and there
fore that it Is only a question of a little
time when It will have completed its
deadly work. With this fact admitted
and the aged omoeror in feeble
health , all Europe feels that it
cannot bo a matter far in the future
when Prince William , the oldest son ol
the crown prince , will become the om-
purer of Germany. What might follow
this change is perhaps the most inter
esting question of the day in Europo.
The character of the young prince war
rants the inference that the attitude ol
Germany would not continue as peace
ful as it has been , and doubtless his
accession would bo the signal for a gen
eral renewal of military preparations ,
It is hardly to bo supposed , however ,
that ho would nt once reject the ox-
umplo of his grandfather , or that he
would fail to heed the counsel of those
who have the ear nnd the confidence oi
the veteran emperor , so that it it
not wholly improbable that the
prince , clqthod with imperial power
might establish moro firmly the peace
of Europo. That , however , is not the
view that prevails regarding the prob
able effect of hla accession.

Recent utterances of Count Kalrioky
the Austrian premier , regarding the
policy to bo pursued with reference te
Bulgaria , have caused a good deal o !
irritation at St. Petersburg. While the
remarks of the count wera concilia
tory with regard to Russia , and ho ad
vised patience in dealing with the
troublesome question , ho made vori
plain his faith in the alliance of Austria
Germany and Italy as a safeguard
against any coercive measures or
the part of Russia. In thia undoubtedly
doubtodly consisted the offenses t (
Russian feelings , which , quite natur
ally , have been moro than usually sen
sitive since the alliance was consum
mated. That arrangement appears te
hnvo grown In favor with the parties te
it , and to bo also regarded by Englaiu
in n most friendly way. Could the
counsel of some European statcsmei
prevail Prince Ferdinand would bo rce
ognizod at once , but the more conserva
tive view , ns entertained by Kalnoky , ii
that the time is not yet come for tha'
action. It is a probable event , however
of the not far future. Meanwhile For
dinand continues to rule and apparently
to grow in the favor of the people , foi
whoso welfare he has shown an intelli
gent and generous concern.

Franco is about tore-arm her military
forces with small bore rifles , using im
proved powder that makes the smullei
rifles as effective in range ns the Itirgoi
bores. The small bores tumble the soldiers
diors to carry more rounds of annnuni
tion and the weapons themselves an
really moro effective in battle , wound
ing moro men than they kill.
wounded soldier is not only disable (
from further fighting , but very oftoi
takes with him from the field one 01
two comrades who would remain it
action if their friend was killed , no
wounded. Besides that , wounded mot
cumber the trains of an army , am
cripple it as a moving force. Thi
small bores , if they have sufilclen
range nnd penetration , nnd do not choki
up- will bo bolter weapons than thi
cumbrous and moro deadly guns hereto
fore carrldd by the Infantry. So im
pressed has Germany been With the ne
cessity of using the smaller bores , now
that It la practicable to use them for
military weapons , that , notwithstanding
the fact that the Gorman forces were
armed with now repeaters last spring1 ,
these nro to bo rejected in favor of now
arms of about 112-calibro. Down to
recent dale military arms have usually
boon from 41 to CO-callbro , the German
gun to be thrown out being a14. .

The proposed conference of European
powers regarding Morocco will attract
attention to a region not without inter
est , but of which there Is not much
accurate Information. The statistics
oven of ils population and its cultivable
area are contradictory , but it certainly
has n fair extent of fertile plains , whllo
the mountains that cover so much of ltd
surface nro thought to bo rich with
mineral products and perhaps in precious
metals. Although the Industries of the
country nro very few , these which nro
prosecuted at all are famous the world
over. The government has long been a
despotism founded on plunder , yet with
such independence tolerated in many
tribes ns to make the fear of anarchy nt
the death of the present sultan , who has
now rolgncd fourteen years , by no
means groundless. Only n short time
ago ho was in conflict with coast
tribes holding ono of his leading
ports. While England has more com
mercial interest in Morocco , as meas
ured by the value of her exports and
imports , than all other powers combined ,
nnd whllo Franco comes next , and even
surpasses England a little in her ton
nage entering Morocco's ports , Spain in
many ways seems to bo the power to
which a protectorate would naturally bo
intrusted. She alone would excite no jeal
ousy among the other European nations ,
nnd she already is said to have a good
understanding with Franco on this sub
ject. Italy and Germany would prefer
her interposition to that of Franco or
England. She already holds a strong
strategic position at Coutn , opposite
Gibraltar , and about seventeen miles
from it , and a quarter of a century ago
she obtained other territory in a success
ful war against the sultan. It is not Im
probable , therefore , that if the interna
tional conference should find interven
tion in Morocco expedient , Spain , on
giving suitable guarantees , would bo
intrusted with the duty of making it.

The negotiations for a treaty of com
merce between 'Germany and Austria
have been chcckod by the intention of
Austria to oxtond'h'er ' bounty system on
sugar and brandy exports. The Berlin
government dcclaixfe that the Austrian
proposals tend towards a competition
dangerous for Germany in the sugar and
brandy markets of the world. At the
outset of the negotiations , the Gorman
government in tended that the increased
duty on cereal imports should balance
the Austrian increase of export boun
ties. This idea has boon abandoned.
Germany is now disinclined to conccdo
to Austria a favored-nation treaty.

Saturday night previous to the ilndiug of the
bombs In the departed anarchist's quarters
on Sunday. Cottomnu was a prisoner at the
Jail , and is positive in his assertions that out
side of a few newspapers there was nothing
in the coll. Mr. Train had intended
to take Cottomnn to Springfield
to mnko a statement before Governor
Oglesby , but on Wednestay ho mysteriously
disappeared , and It is inferred that ho was
kidnapped by detectives. Nina Van Zandt
and Mrs. Parsons wcro among these with
whom Mr. Bemls formed an acquaintance.
Ho describes Mrs. Parsons as a woman with
a creole complexion , nnd the mother of two
bright children , who nto beautiful and with
skin as white us wax. Nina Vim Zandt is de
scribed ns a woman of remarkable will power ,
and it is her opinion and these of the friends
of the anarchists that Liugg never died of
his own volition , but was assassinated. The
night before his suicide tallow candles wcro
substituted for coal oil lumps , nnd Nina says
that the deadly cap that caused Lingg's death
was moulded with the candlo. She nlso ex
pressed a fear that if the men were not
hanged they would meet the fatq of LIngg.
Mr. Train departed from Chicago for New
York on Thursday for his bench and tlio
sparrows in Madison Square garden.

Homo Curious Fires.
Fire and Water : Cotton in bales has
always been supposed to be free from
spontaneous combustion until lately ,
when a case was discovered in a store
house in northern Now Jersey. A num
ber of bales of ben island cotton stored
there were found to bo on flro , and when
it wns extinguished in ono spot it would
break out in another. A careful ex
amination of the cotton and its condition
showed that it was roller-gin cotton
that is , cotton which had not been run
through a gang of KO.WB , tttter the method
of Eli Whitney , but the lint had been
drawn away from the seeds by a pair of
rolls , ono largo and ono small , sot at
just the distance to keep the seeds from
passing through , while the fiber pasfaes
on and goes into a bag.
It was found in this lot of cotton that
gome of the seeds had passed into the
rolls and boon cracked , which cautod
the oil to exude , saturating the fiber ,
which was thus , by the time it arrived
in the north , in the proper condition for
spontaneous combustion. Careful and
extensive inquiry among northern mills
failed to reveal any other such case ,
and therefore it can hardly bo taken as
a strong objection against the use of
rollor-glns in general. The ordinary
roller-gin is practically a prchi&torio
tool , as it has been in use since cotton
was known in ancient India. It is not
nearly so fast as the ordinary saw-gin ,
but it is fcaid to do its work homo thing
bolter and with tholcaet pobsiblo injury
to the fiber , and to bo therefore pro-
feu-red for Sea island cotton , which is of
long fiber , and almost double the value
of the ordinary grades.
Another curious fire was that which
occurred in a knife factory in Massa
chusetts. In the middle of n room a
biniill milling machine was working on
hard-wood handles of knives. Tlio duster
or small fragments of the wood which
were ground off were drawn up through
a metal tube about ono foot in diameter
by a blower in the room above , and
then forced through a wooden pipe out
into the air. A spark from an emery
wheel fifteen feet away from the milling
machine struck a window twenty foot
away , and glancing back entered the
mouth of the metal tube and sot the
hardwood dust on firon stream of which
twenty feet in length poured out of the
wooden pipe into the air. The alarm
was given by the people outside , the
workmen in the room being entirely
unaware of any fire.
Another peculiar instance was a flro
started by some cotton waste which an
engineer in cleaning up a mill put in
front of a boiler where It would bo con
venient for the firemen to burn in the
morning. During the night the wusto
got on fire from spontaneous combustion
and sot fire to the kimdllngs and nuc-
cccdnd in raising fautllcicnt stcitm to
cause the iKiilor to blow off , very thor
oughly scaring the watchman , who nat
urally thought the boiler , which he
know had noon loft without a fire , was
going to exjilodo.
Still another singular ca.so was that of
n fire caused in a picker-room of a juto-
inill by a man driving n nail in pie ceil
ing , The nail glanced olT und was
btruck by the rapidly moving beaters ,
und the ripurlcH which were caused there
by led to u borioua bluze ,

CATARRHDESCRIBED.
The Symptoms Attending
Which IjondH to Consumption.
When cntnrrh hns existed In the head and the
upper part of tlio throat for imy lomitu of ttm
t ho puticnt living In a d Inflict whcro people
nro subject to cntnrrlml affection nnd Uie dis
ease tins been left uucured , the catarrh Invarl-
iilily , sometimes slowly , extends 4own tlio wind-
plpo and Into tlio bronchial tubea , which tubes
convoy tlio uir into the dllforunt parts of the
lunga. The tubes become nlfactcd from the
rolling and the mucous nrlslng from catarrh ,
nnd , In borne Instances , bocoinu plugged up. so
that the air cannot got In as freely as It should.
Shortness of breath follow s , and the patient
breathes with labor and dllllculty.
In either raso there IH u sound of crackling
nndwheczlnclnsldo the cliost. At this FtiiRo ot
the disease the brent him ; Is usually moro rapid
than when In health. The patient has also hot
dashes over his body.
The pain which ncrompanlcs this condition Is
of a dull character , foil In the chest , behind the
"breast bone or under tlio shoulder blndo. The
pain may como and go Inst a tovf days and
then be nliHcnt for suvurnl others. Tlio cough
that occurs In the llrst stupes of bronchial ca
tarrh la dry , conies on at Intervals , hacking In
character , nnd is usually most troublesome In
the morning on rlMm ; , or going to bed at night ,
and It inny l > o In the Ilrst evidence of the dUuaso
extending Into the lungs.
Sometimes there are tits of coughing induce
by the tough mucus HO violent us to caubo vom *
Itlng. Later on the mucus that is raised fa
found to contain small particles of yellow mat
ter , which indicates that the small tubes In the
lungs are now affected. With this there are 06
ton atrealcs of blood mixed with the mucus. 1 %
some cases the patient becomes very pain , hai
fever , and expectorates bcforo any cough ajh
pears.
In some cases small masses of cheesy suit
stance uro spit up , which , when pressed botweef
the llngere , emit a bad odor. In other catos pan
tlclcs of a hard , chalky nnturo are spit np. Th <
raising of cheesy or chalky lumps indicates sot
rious mischief nt work In the lungn.
in some cases catarrh will extend Intoth *
lungs in a few weeks ; In othnr cases It muy b < 4
months , and- - even years , before the disease at-
tncks the lungs sumciently to cause serious In
terference with the gunornl health. When tha
dlseahohas developed to such u point the pa
tient Is raid to have cntarrhnl consumption.
With bronchial catarrh there Is moro or less
fever which differs with the different parts of
the day-slight In the morning , higher Ib the
ufternoon and evening.
