THE GREATEST QUESTION.
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. It will take
centuries to educate them. I don't
know what to think about It. It will
be a burden on our children and our
children's children."
