PRESIDENT CLEVELAND FROM A DEalO
CRATIC PAPER.
Washington Dispatch to Cincinnatti Enquirer (Dem)
The condemnation of President
Cleveland's poliev as publicly set forth
by Senator Eutis, of Louisiana, roets
the approval of the majority of ihe
democratic hosts. He voices the dis
content and distrust which are now
quietly manifested. The difference is,
lie has the courage to tell the president
unmistakably the democratic estimate
of his administration, while others who
feel as he does, do not have the manli
ness to tell him the truth. It can be
stated as a fact that the administra
tion, would now be wrecked were it
not for the hope that it will yet be con
verted. The democratic leaders are
muzzled. They hold their peace be
cause of the promise that good store
awaits the future. And yet the days
roll into weeks and the procrastinating
policy becomes more exasperating. If
there is not a change, soon the volcano
of discontent will belch forth in such a
way as to leve the Lousiana senator's
opening gun only a faint echo.
With the exception of Mr. Bayard
not one of the cabinet has made an ap
pointment upon his own responsibility.
It would have been mere creditable to
the president had he retained his
premier, who seems to have gone into
a "body snatching" business to reha
bilitate with offices, those verging on
the grave. It does not require the hor
oscope of the astrologer to anticipate
the result of a much longer policy of
delay. Another month of it will break
the camel's back. The representatives
of sovereign states will not forever

battled for a quarter of a century to
elevate a few men. One does not need
a lantern to discover a thorough in
competence of the postmaster- general.
Here is an officer with 50,000 postoffi
ces at his command. Nearly two
thirds of them are subject to his pleas
ure. Every small office is the cam
paign headqu liters of the party of op
position. After two months of "la
bored" thought a policy is formulated.
This is to give in each county in the
Union one-fourth of the postoffices to
democrats and retain the remaining
three-fourths republicans. Such a dis
tribution is puerile in its emanation
and dishonest almost in its enforce
ment. The administration of the state
department, when seriously considered,
is laughable. Its secretary has dragged
out of political obscurity scores of de
cayed hulks, who are sent abroad,
doubtless to expose to foreign gaze a J
crap of old men. More than half thus
honored are men who do not believe in
the community of their own govern
ment. If there is any settled policy of the
administration save procrastination, it
is not visible to the naked eye or com
prehended by finite mind. Democrats
justly wonder what the president
means. If the "rascals are nt to be
turned out," the inference can only be
that there are none in, and that
the cry by the democrats of the land
in this respect was false. Meanwhile
Mr. Cleveland, in his high estate,
seemingly ignores the claims of these
who elected him to office, and seeks
rather than the approbation f the ef
feminate coterie of the republican par
ty who could not vote for Mr. Blaine.
It does not seem as if the mugwumps
had the whip hand, and the tail is
wagging a very slow-to-anger dog.
BAYARD'S B0URB0N1SM.
(From the Toledo Blada.)
It seems probable that Bayard will
be the first of the present Cabinet to
be retired His short lease of power
has been crowded with blunders. He
has alienated the leaders of the North
ern Democracy by not yielding to their
claims in the making of appointments.
And aside from this he has outraged
the sentiment of the people atjlarge by
his evident eagerness to resurrect the
the Confederacy. Though he has al
ways been recognized as a Bourbon
who was closely allied with the ex
Confederate element, it was supposed
at the- time of his appointment that
his long service as a public representa
tive and as a member of the Senate
committee on Foreign Affaire, had at
least . given him sufficient acqnantahce
with the requirement of his present
place to enable him to fulfill them in
telligently, and that as had sufficient
breadth and patriotism to sink the
character of the narrow anil hide
bound partisan in the discharge of his
duties as the head of the State depart
ment." This he has not done, however.
He has 1nade Cleveland's administra
tion ridiculous by securing the appoint
ment of persons, as representatives
abroad, who were neither eligible un
der our own laws nor receivable under
the customs and practice of foreign
powers. And his efforts to reward ex
rebels have brought out a fact which
is new to the masses of the people
ihat of the older generation of men
who were on the rebel side, the greater
number are ineligible for office, under
the constitution of the United States
statutes. The third section of the
fourteenth amendment debars from
holding any office, civil or military, un
der the United States, any one who, as
a public officer either of the United
States or any state, took an oath to
support the United States constitution,
and thereafter engage in the rebellion.
Section 1,787 of the Revised Satutes
snppliments this with a provision that
any one ineligible under the above who
accepts or holds any prohibited office
shall be subject to imprisonment of not
over one year, or fined nst more than
51,0110, or both. ine law also pro
vides far ousting such persons who
have accepted office, by quo warranto
proceedings. The number of people
who, at one time or another, held offi
ces which necessitated the taking of
the official oath to support the consti
tution is very large, and compromised
everybody of any note at the South
during the rebellion. Executive par
dons and the general amnesity procla
mation relieved these men of criminal
liability for treason, and made them
voters, but did not make them eligible
t hold office. It takes a law of Con
gress to do that.' The Senate will
have its hands full to overhaul the
records of some of the recent appoint
ees of Mr. Bayard, and acertain if they
are eligible to represent abroad the
government they strove to destroy.
Mr, Keiley who was recently appoint
ed by Bayard to the Austrian Mission
at a banquet at Richmond, tendered
him in honor of his appointment, he
made a speech in which he used the
following extraordinary language:
I am to-day, as are millions of my
countrymen, recognizing with fullest
loyalty the authority of a government
over my own state founded on what
considered a gross and bloody violation
of public rights committed against my
self and them.
That is, ho accepts service under a
government which he boldly savs is
founded on a gross and bloody viola
tion of ihe rights of himself and the
Southern people at large. Why do
not some of the democratic newspapers
read Mr. Keiley the same lecture they
read the republican press every time
an allusion was made by the latter to
the war issue? He is waving the
"bloody shirt" to-day as vigorously as
did any republican editor. On Irs
own statement, then, Keiley is stulti
fying himself by accepting office nnder
a government whose right to exist he
denies for what? The salary of min
ister to Austria, of course. Can not
Bayard, if he selects ex-rebel for office,
find men who gave up the fight when
Lee surrendered? It is a burning dis
grace to the United States to send such
a man as its accredited' representative
to a foreign country. His offence is
not in having been a rebel, but in not
admitting that the restoration of the
Union was just and righteous, to be
cheerfully acquiesced in by every citi
zen. It is an insult to common sense
tb argue that a man can regard the
war for the Union "a gross and bloody
violation of public right" and yet pro
fess "unswerving loyalty" to the Un
ion. RESULTS OP TWO MONTHS.
to admit that they have been lying
like cowardly scoundrels in every po
litical campaign for years. Yet the
democrats have to do that, or to do
worse. Here is the monthly debt state
ment. There is hardly a democratic
editor who can print it, or a democratic
speaker who can read or quoteit; v ith
out proving that his assertions about
the finances for years past have been
as full of untruths as an egg is of meat.
He has been asserting that there was
an enormous surplus, which ought to
be spent in clearing off debt. Mr.
Hendricks and Mr. Randall unblush
ingly said it wat two hundred millions
or more. Every official statement of
Mr. Manning, the democratic secretary
of the treasury, tells them that they
have been lying. The democratic ora
tor and editor persisted for years in
asserting that the republican state
ments were "cooked" and fraudulent;
that they were cunningly devised to
conceal the truth and hide the robbery
of the people by republicans. Mr.
Manning's statements, comparing dol
lar for dollar and cent for cent with
those of his predecessors, using the
very same items and differing only in
the arrangement of them, prove that
these assertions have been simply a
pack of falsehoods. It is not pleasant
to admit all this. But the democratic
administration is forced to do that, or
else to let the treasury become bank
rupt in the very first year of democratic
rule, and the latter would be fatal to
all chances of keeping office. When a
democrat has to forfeit either his
chance of keeping office or his reputa
tion for honesty and his self respect,
there is no doubt which he will give

The New York Cotton Exchange,
on April 30th, left its old quarters and
moved into its new building. The
president of the exchange, Mr. Gruner,
in his speech, called attention to the
depression now existing in the cotton
business and expressed his hopes of a
speedy change for the better. In
speaking of the recent short crops Mr.
Gruner called attention to the fact
that the crop of 1870-71, whjch amount
ed to 4,300,000 bales, was and is y'et
known as "the big crop." Already,
h said, there had been seen a crop of
7,000,000 bales gathered, and he said
that with this experience it would be
unsafe to predict what would consti
tute a "big crop," ten years from now.

The Boston Herald publishes a lone;
and instructive article on the butter
trade and manufacture, which proves
that we eat less butter than we sup
pose. Even the so-called "creamery"
butter in Boston is found to be adul
terated with oleomargarine oil, and
when it contains less than 20 per cent,
it is difficult to detect the fraud. As
butterine is perfectly healthful, and
palatable, too, as is shown by its mix
ture with creamery butter, there can
be no objection to it except in the de
ception. We must sooner or later
acknowledge that it is in important
contribution to our food supply.
While the demand for fresh, pure but

The time for big profits and long credits is of the past, and if superceded by small
profits and a c.ish system offers an excellent chance for retrenchment. Considering the
present condition of affairs it behooves every yerson to practice economy and to obtain for
every dollar expended the best and most satisfactory result. This can be only accom
plished by a strictly CASH SYSTEM. The expense of keeping accounts and the coat of
collection must of necessity be added to the price of goods sold. There is alsi; a more im
portant contingency to be provided tor, namely: the number and amount of bad accounts
that are unavoidable in giving credit, no matter how careful the seller may be.
These losses must lie made Rood by charging itiish customers a higher price, to make
up for losses sustained on worthless accounts. Being fully anve to these facts anrt in
sympathy with the present condition of the farming community, we have placed ourselves
in a position to offer every advantage to cash purchasers.
While our prices appear low, we would state that all goods sold by us are first-class
and guaranteed in every respect as represented. Long experience -in the mercantile busi
ness, together with a comp-tent knowledge of the various markets, enables ns to purchase
our supplies as low as any house in this section. Our new Spring ami Summer stock is
now complete in all departments, and we respectfully solicit an inspection of the same.
