In the September American Maga line "The Interpreter" presents mass of new material about Grant, Sherman, 8herldan, Grover Cleveland and others In the form of " personal recollections, new stories, and so on "The Interpreter" once asked Mr. Cleveland for his opinion as to the greatest question before the country, , "Oh, there Is only one," he said "We can see our way through most of our difficulties. We-can at least Im aglne a solution of all problems bu one. But the negro question baffles everybody's understanding. No one knows when It will demand an Instant answer. We can't take away the fran chlse from the negroes. No matter how foolish It was to give Jhem a vote, we can't turn back. At the same time wo can't let theni gain political su premacy In the south.
