There are some people who spem to bo worried about Mr. Martin's prospects of se curing a place on the Missouri river commis sion oven more than Mr. Berlin , whoso sin ecure Is at stake. Pullman hasn't been heard from In over n wcok. Wo trust he doesn't think that he has already convinced everybody of the Jus tice of the position which ho assumed dur ing the late strike.

For patron saint , read patronage aalnt. The renomlnatlon by the Iowa republicans of Congressman David H. Henderson will tie taken as a matter of course. Colonel Henderson Is one of the old reliables of congress , and Iowa cannot do better than to keep him where ho Is. Any other person than drover Cleveland \\ould bo suffering from a swelled heart after having his praises echoed so fulsome as In Senator Vllas' speech before the senate. Qrovcr will not bo affected , how ever. His head long ago reached the maximum point of size. It Is fortunate that this tariff controversy has occurred In the United States and not In Franco. Had the speeches heart ! In the senate been delivered In the latter coun try It Is doubtful It the proceedings would have been finished without a few resorts to the code of honor. The newly appointed minister from Japan vras educated In the United States , to which lie will now return as the diplomatic repre sentative of his government. The United States ought to bo glad to receive a min ister who lias taken his political Inspira tion from our Institutions.

Why not muko some efforts to ) u\o the democratic btato convention called to meat in Omaha ? Omnlm Is big enough to enter tain any or all the different political parties that expect to enter tickets In the taco this fall.

Political considerations will play a predominant - dominant patt In the work of the city coun cil from now until November. nvery job that goes through will bo "In the Interest of the dear constituents.

Are not the deputy marshals who so boldly risked tholr lives for their country and J.I a day to get some thing substantial In recognition ot their services ? It the state of the national treasury forbids a pension , why not a con gressional \ota ot thanks ? Senator Stewart of Nevada feels called upon to resent the Interference of the presi dent with the legislatl\o functions of congress - gross In the enactment of a tariff bill. The Nevada senator remembers the part played by the president In forcing the uncondi tional repeal of the Sherman silver pur chase law last year and It still rankles In his breabt. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Wo have no doubt that there Is a great deal of siiort-ui'lfilit and short-measuro cell ing practiced In this city , but the practice Is not confined to the poor hucksters who stand nt Iho street corner.

It ( he poor huckster Is alone to bo compelled to llvo up to tha requirements of the law. the larger short-measure dealers will Imagine that they have a license to con * tlr.uo tholr operations at their pleasure. Twelve year * ago a tnbor strike took place In Omaha that culminated In a no-called riot and the calling out of mllltla nnd regulars. There was rcnlly nothing to Justify the callIng - Ing out of troops and the working mpn were Justly Incensed at Mayor Iloyd for making a requisition upon the governor for the mllltla and navlng Omaha put under martial law. In the midst uf the excitement a boy cott was voted and ordered agalntt Uoyd's opera house. All working men were warned and urged not to patronlz * the Hoyd under any circumstances. The labor leaders of those days confidently predicted that this boycott would do up the opera house owner within less than a year. Two weeks after the boycott had been proclaimed the Georgia mlnstreli were billed on the theater posters and announced In the papers. To everybody's surprise the house was Jammed from pit to nigger heaven with a boisterous and enthusiastic working- man's audience. The tloyd theater bojcott had been spontaneously abrogated and never was heard of again. The bojcott proclaimed by Grand Master Sovereign against Pullman and his patrons can ha\c no better effect than had the boy cott against the Doytl theater. It Is In th3 nature of the pope's bull against the comet. Astronomers and historians tell us that the comet did cll.'iipppnr , but no rational person billcves that Its peripatetic gyrations were In the least .nfiuenced by the proclamation fulminated from the Vatican. The sleeping car has become as much a necessity In our railway system an the elec tric light has become as a medium of Illumi nating our cities. Wo have an electric lighting monopoly In Omaha that has made Itself very offensive through the corrupt manipulation of the council by Its managfrs. While every taxpayer and consumer of elec tric light Is down on S. L. Wiley and his methods , nobody has yet proposed to boycott Wiley's irtonopoly by refusing to use electric lights and electric motor power. It Is utterly Impossible to dispense with the use of Pullman sleeping cars by n boycott directly or Indirectly The workIngmen - Ingmen as n class patronize the Pullman sleepers very littln and the commercial travelers , tourists , merchants and their families will never subject themselves to the discomfort of the ordinary passenger coach by any threat from the Knights of Labor or other labor organizations. Mr. Sovereign has evidently Jumped at conclu sions In this as ho has on many other subjects. To carry out his boycott against patrons of the Pullman cars ho would have to employ an army of spotters and most of the people spotted would not care a straw whether they were spotted or not. The tourist who travels for pleasure certainly would be Indifferent and the drummer who wants to save hotel bills and time by tra > ellng In the night could not be punished Individually , neither could the Jobbing house he repre sents be held responsible for the refusal ot their travelers to sit up all night just to avoid Mr. Sovereign's displeasure. Above all things the boycott could not deter women , children and Invalids , who avail themselves of the Pullman sleepers as a matter of safety and convenience. Now the boycott Is a species of retaliatory warfare waged In the Interest of the workIng - Ing man. If It proves a failure It becomes a serious drawback to the cause of labor. Bearing this fact In mind labor leaders should never resort to the boycott unless there Is a reasonable assurance of Its effec tiveness. The Pullman boycott , advocated by Mr. Sovereign , Is bound to be a failure , and ho has made a. blunder In committing the knights to such a course. Everybody conversant with the policy of The Bee knows that It never has been an apologist for the Marquis Pullman. On the contrary , It has been outspoken In Its disapproval ot his arrogant and autocratic ways and especially his declaration during the btrlko that there was nothing to arbitrate. While wo regard the sleeping cars as a component part of every first class passenger train , we do not bellovo It necessary or beneficial to the public that the sleeping car service should bo In the hands of a private monopoly. The way to break up Pullman's monopoly is not by the boycott , but by state and national legislation that will require every railroad to equip Its passenger trains with Its own sleeping cars and will prohibit these rail roads from subletting the sleeper car serv ice to any private company or Individual. When such laws are once In force the Pull man monopoly will have to subside. II I'JHOUl' ' IffSTlU'CTWAS. The senate has refused to recedp from its position on the tariff. It has rejected by overwhelming1 majorities motions to put coal and Iron ore on the free list , but two demo crats voting in favor of making these ar ticles free. It has rejected the proposal to recede from the one-eighth of a cent dif ferential on refined sugar and has returned the tariff bill to conference without Instruc tions. On July 19 the house of representa tives adopted a resolution Insisting upon its disagreement to the senate amendments Ingress gross , after having listened to the letter of Mr. Cleveland In advocacy of free raw ma terials and the speech of Mr. Wilson en dorsing that position. Thus the tariff bill goes back to the conference committee with the two houses standing just where they did when the disagreement was reported to them , that Is , each Insisting upon Its own measure and each manifesting a deter mined purpose to adhere to this position. The country Is familiar with what has transpired since the conference committee decided to report a disagreement. It has been a period of sensational Incidents for Iho democratic party. In a way entirely unprecedented the president chosen by that pirty has assumed to advise ono branch of congreis rpgan.lnp revtmi" legislation , and In doing BO arraigned democratic senators as having proposed a policy that involved party perfidy and party dishonor. In reply to this Imputation democratic senators have made the counter charge that the president had been guilty ot duplicity In leading them to believe that bo was In sympathy with their course In revising the house tariff bill. No similar situation has over before happened In the relations between the execu tive and the congress , and the Important question Is whether ono of the parties to the conflict the president and the house of representatives on the ono hand and the senate on the other will surrender , or tariff legislation by this congress fall. From the positive attitude assumed by each house It would boem that It will be next Impossible for them to reach an agree ment , Mr. Wilson declared with earnest emphasis Jn the house that ) It would be better for tariff legis lation to fall than that the representa tives ot the people should accept the bill pasted by the senate , and this was en dorsed by the democrats of the house with out division. No less earnestly Mr. Gor man declared in the senate that that body could not accept the Wilson bill , and. the action of the senate Ims approved the View of the leader of the conservative senators. Still there li belief that an agreement will finally bo reached and a tariff hill passed that the president can sign. There may be concessions on both sides , but the Im pression appears to be that most of the yielding will bo on the part ot the house conferees. Democratic senators nre reported as professing to bellevo that there will bo agreement substantially on the bill as It now stands , that the house has already como to realize that It must accept the senate measure or assume the responsibility for the defeat thai stares the bill nnd party In the face In the event that It declines to yield. Moreover , many of the demo crats In the house are becoming exceedingly anxious to get among their constituents and this Is counted on to Induce them to yield. It Is dimcult to accept this view , because It contemplates the complete stulti fication of the house leaders , which would mean for some of them , undoubtedly , po litical destruction. It would seem that these leaders must see that surrender In this matter , repudiating at once their own position and that of the president , cnnnot fall to be fatal to them politically. LookIng - Ing at the situation from all points of view It does not appear that an agreement Is any more likely to be reached now than wh n the tariff bill first went to confer ence. Indeed the chances of agreement would seem not to be so good as then , for there has been aroused a feeling ot an tagonism between the houses and a conflict as to authority respecting this kind of legislation that did not exist before , while the Interference of the president has tended to complicate ! and Intensify the Issue. Those who predicted the failure of tariff legislation when the disagreement was announced need not yet revise their opinion. TALKS OUT or SCHOOL. Telling talcs out of school has been the characteristic feature of the week's debate In the senate at Washington. To bo moro accurate , the proceedings were commenced last week when the president unburdened his mind to Chairman Wilson and made public his story of the methods by which certain of the democratic senators had In volved themselves and their associates In party perfidy and party dishonor. As was quite natural , the accused senators rusliod to their own defense , and what fol lowed was a series of confessions that gave the people their first clear view of the making of the pending tariff bill. Sen ator Gorman's story was so extraordinary that he deemed It advisable , if not neces sary , to call upon the others of the finance committee to stand up , ono by ono , and corroborate his statements. Each arose and related his relations with the president during the time that the tariff bill was being framed , stories that had been cir culating as rumors , but which for the first time found authoritative. confirmation. These tales were not originally Intended for the public ear or they would not have been so long delayed. Neither was the admission made by Senator Caffery in his speech , In which ho told of his efforts to trade for adequate protection to the Louis iana sugar planters and how he failed to secure what he wanted because of some stronger Influence , presumably the Sugar trust , which controlled the members of the senate finance committee. It Is also clear that the whole has not yet been told , and it some of the senators will only contlnuo in their penitent mood several additional Interesting chapters may yet be added to the narration. These tales have had but llttlo Influence upon the progress of tariff legislation , but they have served to give the public an in sight Into the methods and operations of the democratic ) leaders that cannot fall to bo Instructive. They have shown the hollowness of the decision not to grant hearings to representatives of the Interests affected by the protective tariff when those most deeply concerned not only had access in private to the various members of the committee , but also had the services of certain senators as active lobbyists In their cause. They have proved that the presi dent's devotion to "tho great principles of tariff reform" Is conditioned on the recogni tion of the demands of particular persons and corporations who have secured political claims upon his party. They expose the pretended disinterested patriotism which the democrats assumed to bring to the task of enacting a new revenue measure. In a different direction still , such disclosures must tend to make men in public life moro cautious about entering Into deals that will not run the gauntlet of public opinion. There is no telling what occasion may arise to ilrlvo ono or moro of them to nmko a clean breast of the matter , to the discom fiture and detriment of the others. If this should result the week's episode will not bo without its good bide politically , in addi tion to the light which it has shed upon the tariff bill manipulations. AM ) JAl'.lN AT HVl/f , Although there has been no formal declara tion of war between China and Japan , and negotiations looking to the settlement of the controversy between them are still In progress , the dispatches state that both gov ernments recognize tlie fact that war actu ally exists. TMs view of the situation would seem to be entirely warranted by events. There has boon fighting in Corea , n trans port with Chinese soldiers has been sunk by a Japanese cruiser , and warlike prepara tions are being vigorously carried forward by both nations. Under such circumstances It does not seem that a declaration ot war is needed to make the existence of hostilities any moro certain or actual than it Is , and It may well bo doubted whether , after what has taken place , the efforts of the European powers to bring about a settlement of the difficulty will be of any avail until Japan and China have had a pretty thorough trial of arbitration by the sword. The fact Is that neither government has shown any earnest disposition to have the matter nettled Jn nny other way. Doth seem desirous to test their prowess In war and probably each la appre hensive that any other method of settlement would not be satisfactory. Besides there is a long-standing hatred between the two countries , growing out of the aggressive pol icy of China In Corea , which has a strong Influence In determining the courao of each. As to the merits of the controversy , a , good deal can bo said on both sides. In the po litical affairs ot Corea , China , has long hold a dominating Influence ; In fact , has exor- olscd a power and authority practically su premo. Through all the chUnges In the pol icy of other nations In dealing with Corea , China has never failed to Insist upon the van-sal condition of a nation which for cen turies has tout tribute to Peking. Commer cially the interests of Japan In the Corcan peninsula are much the greater , being more extensive than those ot uny other country , and there are moro Japanese sojourning In Corea than there uro representatives of any other foreign nationality. At present Japan has a practical monopoly of the trade of the peninsular kingdom ; whose exports consist chiefly of foojBeqJ ; to Japan. Still the Japanese seem | , m have boon nblo to n ( jttlro nny pollt al foothold or Influence In Corcn. Ai rating the feeling there to < word them , It Is noted that In 18S2 , when on uprising took place , the- Japanese legation nt Seoul was loo'ied , members ot the minister's suite wore murdered , and the Japanese min ister himself was driven out of Seoul and forced to take refuge In n fishing boat , from which he was With difficulty rescued. Again In 18SI , when there was another formidable revolt , the Japanese legation was burned , forty-two peaceful Japanese were murdered In the streets of Seoul , and the minister with his suite nnd a guard of HO soldiers were obliged to fight their way out of the city. While Illustrating the antipathy to the Japan ese In Corea these facts at the same time furnish u reason why Japan should now dc * sire to Improve tht' ' opportunity for determin ing , perhaps finally , whether her rights and Intelests In Coroa are to be regarded and re spected. The dispatches give English opinion , which for commercial reasons Is In sjmpathy with China , that a war between that countiy and Japan must cventuaato In crushing the lat ter. There could bo no doubt of this If It were merely a question of the relative strength of the forces which the two coun tries can command , for then China would unquestionably have largely the advantage. The Chinese national army Is estimated to number about C50.000 on a peace footing , while that of Japan Is about 275,000 , but the former has a population ten times as largo as that of the latter to draw from. The army of Japan , however , Is better equipped and better disciplined , according to the most trustworthy Information , than that of China , and Is believed to be also composed of much better fighting material. In naval strength the countries arc about on an equality. A prolonged war between China and Japan Is hardly probable , because of the Intervention of European nations , though it Is recognized ns a possibility that such a war may Involve some of the countries of Europe. President Cleveland has gone on and appointed a commission to Investigate the recent railroad strike , and both houses of congress have passed resolutions approving the position assumed by the president In his proclamations to the strikers nnd In calling out the federal troops to protect Interstate commerce , but up to this time , except for Its own sources of private In formation , congress Is In blissful Ignorance that anything like strike riots have ac tually occurred. The president not only acted entirely upon his rwn Initiative and without inviting the advice or co-operation of the legislative branch of the government , but he has also neglected to transmit to congress any account of the proceedings which he deemed necessary. Presumably the only way congress can get hold of the official story of the strike Is to ask for It by resolution , or perhaps wait until next Decem ber , when the president's annual message w ill probably Include n rpvlcvv of the strike and its treatment by the federal authori ties. Already the senate has passed reso lutions of inquiry on paitlcular points in volved , but these have been the only en deavors to break , the presjdent's silence. A special message , transmitting the report of the new commission and recommending legislation suggested by the report , will in all likelihood be tlie first communication of the president witl ) congress on this sub ject , v . George Gould Is to have the honor of'giv ing a yachting exhibition before her royal majesty , Queen VlBtorla , and at the same tlmo to test the speed of the Vigilant against the Britannia with the prince and princess of Wales both on board the latter vessel. This will cap the climax of Mr. Gould's sporting ambitions abroad , even it he suffers defeat , because defeat under such circumstances will serve the same purpose as victory. Mr. Gould hobnobbing with roy alty and amusing the queen of England Is a role new to the railroad magnate's reper toire. It proves , as nothing else can , the versatility of American genius. After almost a whole year's controversy the garbage muddle beems to bo as mud dled as ever. At this time last summer the council was loud in its assertions that thn garbage question called for immediate settlement. If there was urgency for a per manent arrangement then , there Is equal uigency now. But It will never bo" " settled until settled right , and that Is when the city will own and operate Its garbage crema tory. A correspondent of an eastern newspaper suggests that If free raw materials Is n demo cratic prlnclpl3 , the first requisite of a dem ocratic tariff bill will bo free food or more Particularly free rice. Hlce Is regularly Imported Into the United States and always In its raw condition. But free rlco would strike piutty heavily on two states of the solid south. This Is the point where prin ciple must give way to political expediency. Sonifl Day. l'orln | H. Washington Star.

' Representative cAlelkleJohn of Nebraska bus Introduced a .bill Jnylnir a duty of $100 on every Immigrant , that is , every Immi grant subject to flle > fluty under the provi sions of the bill , vUilah practically exempts everybody. i i One provision lHJlat | | an Immigrant , In order to dntlnme , "shall come by steamer or sail vessel from a forilKii port to any port within the lilted States,1' ' it will be observed that chep "Kreuser" laborers , en tering the counin > - Ifrom Mexico liy rail , or by wading- < fJKIl | Grande , will bo on the free list. It vvllLulao bo observed that nny European "piuitwr laborer" landing nt a Canadian port unU entering this country by rail or foot , or In , nny land vehicle , will be on the free list. Under this provision of the bill European immigrants would simply land at Montreal and enter this country by rail , tax free. Anotlier provision of the bill Is that the duty shall not be laid on "an alien Immi grant who is sent for and requested ti > Im migrate to the United States by a relative residing1 In , anil who Is a citizen of , or IIUH declared his Intention to become a citizen of the United States. " No one desiring to cmlKrnto from "Europe to this country would have nny difficulty In getting an Invitation from a "relative" here. There are plenty of people here who would bo only too glad to become relatives of any number of people In Europe nnd ex tend to them very cordial and urgent In- vtiitloim to comu over nnd "bring their knitting" for a moderate consideration. The relative Invitation business would HOOII become nourishing and lucrative under this bill unless Intending Immigrants should find It moro economical to enter the country In land vehicles via Montreal. OTIIKIt L IXHH Tlt.tX Ot'H.1. Mi Caslmlr-Perler continues to show Hint ho has no Intention ot being a slave to pre cedent. He has expressed his determina tion to make several changes In the ( Hilda lite ot the Elysee. He has decided to re ducc the military household and to create a civil household , which docs not exist. HI old private secretaries , M , Paul I/ifarguc and M. du Talguy , will be placed at the held of It , and will be charged with the Important duty ot representing him In the lobbies uf the two chambers , This explain the declaration In his presidential message that ho would take full advantage nf all the rights vested In him by the constitu tion. M Caslmlr-Perlcr Is of the opinion that In view of ministerial crises he should bo Informed from day to day of the state ot parliamentary feeling , Independently ol his ministers. The president and parliament have for the last twenty years had no means of coming Into touch with one another. M. Thlers , who was elected by the national assembly , had the right ot appearing at the tribune ot the assembly. He did not fall to use this right , nnd on Important oc casions was present to defend In person the nets of his government. In 1S7J the constitution was changed , so as to relieve the president ot personal responsibility , and also to prohibit him from appeirlng In the house. It was also provided that the prcsl dent should In future communicate with the chambers by message. Since then the French presidents have never set foot In the chambers , where they are not repre sented In any manner. At last the turn of the Welsh church has come. The prediction of the lories and the defenders of the stale church In England In 1SG3 Is coming true , that If the Irish church were disestablished It would be only a matter of tlmo when the Welsh , Scotch nnd English churches would follow. Only twenty-five jears since the Irish church was disestablished , and the home secretary , Mr. Asqulth , Introduces the bill for the disestablishment and disendowment of the Episcopal church of Wales. The bill provides that the church shall ccaso , to be a political Institution after 1S9G , nnd the revenues , public and private , shall be appropriated to educational and charitable purposes. It will probably take much less time to bring the emancipation of the church In Scotland and England. There Is no doubt but that the English church will die hard , for It Is Immensely rich nnd serves to furnish a large number of sinecures for the Incompetent sons of the nobility. But the most that can be done Is to slightly postpone the date. As a state supported , political and really tory organization , the days of the English church are numbered. Then religious freedom in England will have been accomplished. * * * The referendum has not proved to be so great a success In Switzerland as many sup- posed. Originally It was proposed to make the referendum obligatory In regard to every act of legislation. But It was argued that It was not necessary to the system that It should apply to many measures of minor Importance. Accordingly , the leferendum provides that no measure of federal scope shnll be submitted to the people at the bal lot box unless 30,000 voters shall require its submission. When the legislature has passed a law the people have three months time for Its decision by referendum. In practical operation most bills become laws without a submission to the people. When a parlia mentary group cannot prevent the- passage of a law , or when n , strong Interest out of doors Is'opposed to It , Its enemies proceed by canvassing from } iouso to house to col lect the necessary 30,000 votes to sffcure Its submission to the people. When submitted , its lukewarm friends neglect to vote , and Its actual enemies generally secure Its defeat. While there Is a great deal of voting ( gener ally on Sunday ) , few measures become laws under this system. It may be said that the effect of the referendum is salutary in checkIng - Ing the accumulation of needless laws. But Its real effect Is to paralvzo all legislation The friends of a good measure fear to sub mit It to a vote when mot on every hand with the prediction that the people will surely reject It ; and Its enemies have no In terest in promoting Its passage. * * Brigands are becoming1 every day more nnd more a power in Greek politics. Not only have beveral provincial mayors been tried recently at Larlssa on charges of com plicity with the banditti , but the mini&ter of the interior , M. Kalll , has yielded to the leg islative pressure brought upon him to with- diaw from TrikKala ono of his most ener getic officials , who had distinguished hlm- bclf by the severity with which ho was sup- pi easing brigandage In the district. It seonib that the bandits , finding that this official was hampering what they chose to describe as their means of livelihood , coolly went to their congressmen , llko any other oppressed Interest , and demanded that their represent atives In Parliament should secure the recall of the obnoxious official. In order to compre hend M. Kalll's surrender , It Is necessary to point out that the brigands have confed erates in the legislative chamber Itself , no less than three deputies having been recently Indicted on charges similar to those brought against the mayors at Larlssa. Under the clicumstances. It is not altogether aston ishing that Klug George should talk of ab dicating , and the foreign money markets should manifest a barked reluctance1 to grant the loans so urgently needed and asked for by the Hellenic government. * * * The Gallcian exhibition at Lemberg , re cently opened by Archduke Chailes Louis In the presence of three Austrian ministers nnd nn enthusiastic crowd of Polish visitors , Is dcscrlbsd by the correspondents of the Vien na newspapers as one of the most Interesting shows of its kind. The site Is the largo plateau of u hill overlooking Lemberg , In Itself a great advantage , and Instead of n succession of largo buildings , the goods are bhown In no fewer than 130 pavilions , each In a different style of architecture. The most striking part of the exhibition Is appa rently the Polish art section , divided into historical and modern classes. It Is con tained In two pavilions , one , In the form of an Egyptian mausoleum , containing all the pictures of the great Polish nrtlst , Matelko , except the one included In the Vatican gal lery ; and the other , showing a panorama of the great battle fought 100 years ago , In which the Poles , led by Kosclusko , were vic torious over the Husblans. In ono of the pa vilions the petroleum Industry of Gallcln Is Illustrated In detail , from the deep boring on the Canadian system , Introduced by the English firms that own largo naphtha mines In Gallcla , to the process of refining. An other pavilion has been erected by the Poles in the United States , the present exhibition being regarded us national In Its character.

The police authorities of Berlin , Paris , Home and Vienna have agreed upon a system of surveillance which will make It practically Impossible for an anarchist to find n hiding place In any of those cities. On the part of Germany it Ims been agreed that as soon an anarchist from any other country shows himself in any German city he shall at once bo returned to the country from which ho came. Atthe same time the police will bo notified so that they can shadow the man. wherever he goes. It Is said that the Russian and Belgian govern ments wilt co-operato with Germany , Franco , Italy and Austria In these repressive meas ures , and Lord Hosebery has given naaur- nnces of England's desire to help the con tinental powers In every way possible. Spain has been making successful war upon the anarchists on her own account , und will doubtless contlnuo to do so.

Senator Gorman takes too much credit to hlnibelf for the election of n democratic president In 189. ! . Up to the mlddlo of October he did not expect Mr Cleveland to be elected , nnd did not want him to be elected. At that late day the great labors of other and more loyal democrats had made victory sure.

" 'All right , ' says Gorman , and the next morning ho went back to New York , "Two or three weeks after this meeting It eamo to my knowledge that Governor Cleve land had written a document bearing en the campaign. I cannot tell you , for certain reasons , what that document was , but I be lieved it would have an Important In- lluunce , and not a very good ono at that. So I wired to Gorman , asking him to come Immediately to Albany. He came on a fast train and mot me , nnd I told htm of the contents of the campaign document that Gov ernor Cleveland had written. He was as tounded , and ho hurried up to see the gov ernor. At that conversation Gorman asked the governor the nature ot the document , reminding him pleabantly nt the tlmq of his former words , that he , Gorman , was to run the campaign. Gorman added that If the document was of any Importance It would do no harm to submit It to the chairman of the national committee. " 'All right , ' says Cleveland , and he hand ed out the document , saying : 'What do you think of that , Gorman ? ' "Gorman read the document over very carefully , and then , without a word , ho ( lung it Into the grate , saying'That's what I think of that document.

The document that I have jl > st thrown Into the fire Is about as unwlte a manuscript as over came under my notlco ' "Cleveland meantime was tramping about In his lago , but Gorman was ns cool UB nn Iceberg.
