MONDAY, JANUARY 22, 1S94.

Don't the people wish that Cleveland was a candidate for President in lSUt?

Wii.i.is could not have made a worse failure of it if he had been as "paramount" as lUount.'

Tiik process of "untaxing" the people lias begun by adding 82,500,000 to the yearly interest of the public debt.

Thk Democratic party just now is marching on double quick time through Waterson's slaughter house to an open grave.-

Businkss waits just as it has waited for many months. Men continue idle just as they have been for half the year. Hut Congress is in no hurry. The honorable members draw their pay regularly and are having a jolly time.

In regard to the threat of Queen Lil to sue the Government of the United States for damages, the Toledo Com-

mcrcutl advises her to sue Grover for breach of promise, and opines she will have a sure case, for, say so the Comma c'uil, "Did't Grover promise to give her back her throne? Did he do it'.'"

Tub February

Ft/rum will contain an

impartial review of the whole Hawaiian controversy by the eminent historian, Mr. James Schouler, of Boston, who as a student of international law has gone over the whole matter especially for the Forum—to make it plain, without any partisan purpose to serve.

Many, very many Republicans, are with us if we but select good material for councilmen and other ofllcials. They desire a change, and are with us.

r—Review. The people voted for a change in 1892 and it has been pretty well demonstrated that they are very tired of what they got. Democracy would run the city like it runs the State and nation—deeper and deeper into debt.

And so Gresham is to be made the scapegoat in the Hawaiian business. The Atlanta Cimxtituttnii, which is Democratic of course, fires it into Walter Q. in this fashion:

The Hawaiian business is the most awkward and unnecessary tangle that our Government ever pot'in to at any time in its history. After recognizing the Provisional Government, established by Americans in self defense for the protection of their interests and the interests of civilization, the Administration made the mistake of yielding to Secretary Greshain'sidea of reinstating the immoral negro Queen whose oppressive conduct caused her overthrow.

Tire Review attempts to place the responsibility of the present hard times at the door of the Republicans and thus utters a lielp-me-Cassius-or-l-sink-cry in this:

After placing the country into a deep sea of financial trouble they have not the decency nor the honor to help extricate it from its perilous position, but glory in seeing it in its desperate struggles seeking to reach a haven of safety, but will offer no friendly hand to rescue it.

Why call upon the Republicans in your dire distress? You have the President. the Senate by a majority of six and the House by a majority of ninety, and you have thus had the power for nearly a year. Why then appeal to the "decency and honor" of Republicans to "help extricate" you from your "perilious position?"

Judoe Rkadi.kv, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, has overruled the decision of the commissioner of pensions in the case of Judge Charles D. Long, of Michigan. Great interest has been manifested in this as a test case. The court holds that "the power to suspend the payment of this pension is not given by statute that if the power to withdraw or withhold it does not exist, the power to suspend the payment as a step toward withdrawal does not exist." The Judge concludes that lie is of the opinion that the commissioner in suspending payment of Judge Long's pension was unauthorized by law that it is the duty of the commissioner to revoke such order and to see that the payment of the pension is continued to Long. Judgment for costs was entered against the commissioner.

When Harrison became President lie found a treasury full of money—when he left it, it was empty.—Review.

Republican legislation put the money in the treasury, and Harrison used 3396,000,000 in paying off interest bearing bonds. When he retired from the Presidency he left 8120,000,000 in the reserve fund. This 8120,000,000 has been reduced by the Cleveland Administration to less than 870,000,000. Besides bonds to the amount of $50,000,000 are to be issued to cover a deficiency of 878.000,000 which will accrue at the end of the fiscal year. It is useless for you to attempt to saddle your incompetent management of public affairs on the Harrison administration because it is yet fresh in the minds of the people that during that Administration, and especially during its last years, the country was never in a more prosperous condition.

TRACED IN BLOOD I

OR,

The Little Old Mao of the B&tignolles.

BY EMIL CABORIAU.

CH.U'TKU IV.

The shock whs the ruder becnuso bo unexpected. It was impossible to describe our astonishment.

Whatl While we were there trying to And proofs of Monlstrol's inuoceuce, he was confessing his guilt.

M. Mechinet was the first to regain his composure. He hastily raised his fingers from his snuff-box to his nose five or six times, and, advancing to the policeman, said: "You are mistaken, or aro deceiving us there's no half-way course." "I assure you, Monsieur Mechinet" "Silencel Either you have inlsunder stood what Monistrol said, or you arc intoxicated by the hope of astounding us by telling us that the nfTxir is settled."

The policeman, hitherto humble and respectful, now rebelled. "Excuse me,'' he interrupted. "I'm neither a fool nor a liar, and I know what I'm talking about."

The discussion was verging so near a quarrel that the magistrate thought it his duty to interfere. "Kflpp your temper, Monsieur Mechinet," said he, "and wait till you have all the information before you form an opinion."

Then turning to the policeman, he continued: "And you, my friend, tell us what you know, and the ra.isons for your confidence."

Thus supported, the policeman crushed M. Mechinet with a sarcastic glance, and displaying a very perceptible touch of conceit, tegan: "Well, then, this is the stn/c of a (fairs. The magistrate and commissary here present ordered us, Iuspector Goulard, my colleague, Poltln, and myself, to arrest the man named Monistrol, dealer in imitation jewelry, living at No. 75 Rue Vivienne, the aforesaid Monistrol being accused of the murder of his uncle." "That is correct," said the commissary in an undertone. "Thereupon,"continued the policeman, "wetookn.flriercand droveto the address. On our arrival we found Monsieur Monistrol in bis back shop, just about to sit down to dinner with his wife, a remarkably beautiful woman twenty-five or thirty years old. "On seeing us all three enter in a row, my gentleman started up. 'What do you wantf he asked. Goulard instantly drew out the warrant and answered, 'I arrest you In the name of the law!'

M. Mechinet seemed to be on thorus. "Couldn't you hurry a little?" he said to the policeman.

But the latter, as if he had not heard the remark, continued in the same quiet tone— "I have arrested several individuals in my life, but I never saw any one so discomposed as this man. 'You are joking, or have made a mistake,' said he. 'No, we haven't made any mistake.' 'But why do you arrest me?' Goulard shrugged his shoulders. 'Don't act Ifke a child,' said he. 'Your uncle—the body is found, and there are overwhelming proofs against you.' "Ob! the rascal. He tottered, and at last fell into a chair, sobbing and stammering some reply which it was impossible to understand. "Seeing this, Goulard shook him by the collar of his coat, saying— 'The shortest way is to confess everything.' "He looked at us with a bewildered expression, and muttered— 'Well, I'll confess everything.' "Well managed, Goulard," said the commissary approvingly.

The policeman was triumphant. "The point in question was to make no disturbance in the shop," he continued. "We had been ordered to avoid causing any gossip,anil the loungers were already assembling. Goulard seized the prisoner by the arm, exclaiming: 'Come, start we are expected at the prefecture!' .Monistrol managed to stand on his trembling limbs, and in the tone of a man who is plucking up his courage, said, 'Let us RO.'

We thought the worst was over, but we hadn't reckoned npon the wife. Up to that moment she had remained in an arm chair as if fainting, without uttering a word, or seeming to understand what was passing. But when she saw that we were really taking her husband away, she started up like an augry lioness and threw herself before the door, crying, 'You shall- not pass!' Upon my word, she was magnificent bnt Goulard has seen a great many people. 'Come, come, my good woman,' said he, 'don't Interfere with us you shall have your husband again.' "Far from making way for us, she clung still more convulsively to the door, eweariegthat her husband was innocent declaring that if he were taken to prison she would follow him sometimes threatening us and overwhelming us with curses, sometimes pleading with us in the sweetest tones.

Then, when she realized that nothing would prevent us from doing our duty, she moved away from the door, and. throwing herself into her husband's arms: "Oh! my dearest,'she moaned,'is tt possible you can be accused of a crime, you—you! Tell these men you are innocent.'

We were all touched but he, more callous than any of us, had the cruelly to push his poor wife away, so brutally that she fell like a lump iu a corner of the shop. "Fortunately this was the end. "The wife had fainted. We took advantage of the opportunity to pack the knsband Into the flacrc we had brought.

Pack is the right word, for he had become like a lifeless thing he could no longer stand and had to be carried. To forget nothing, I must add that his dog, a sort of black pug, actually tried to jnmp into the carriage with us, and we had the greatest difficulty in getting rid of it. "On the way, as was right, Goulard tried to divert our prisoner's thoughts And make him talk. But it was impossible to get a word out of his mouth. Not until we reached the prefecture did he seem to recover his senses. When he waa safely and duly installed in -no of the 'close-confinement' cells he threw himself full length on the bed, repeating, 'What have I done, oh, GodI what have I done

A STRANGE CASE.

How an Enemy was Foiled. Tlie followlne graphic statement will be read with intense Interest: "I cannotdescrlbe thenuiub.creepysBnsatlonthatexlsted In my arms, hands and legs. I had to rub and beat thoso parts until hoy were soro, to overcome in a measure the dead feeling that had taken possession of tliein. In addition, I had a strange weakness In my back and around my waist, together with an indescribablo 'gono' feeling In my stomach. Physicians said It was creeping paralysis, from which, according to their universal conclusion, there Is no relief. Onco It fastens upon a person, they say. It continues its insMlous progress until it reaches a vital point and the suiTorer dies. .Such was my prospect. 1 had been doctoring a year and a naif steadily, but with no particular benefit, when I saw an advertisement of I)r Miles' Hestoratlvo Nervine, procured a bottle and began using it. Marvelous as It

may

seem, but a few days had passed before every bit of that creepy feeling had left me, and there has not been even the slightest Indication of its return. I now feel as well as 1 ever did, and havo gained tea pounds in woight, though 1 had run down from 170 to 137. Four others have used Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervlnoon my recomendatlon, and it has been as satisfactory in their cases as in mine."—James Kano, La Kue, O.

Sold by all druggists.

At that moment Goulard approached him for the second time. 'So,' said he, you confess that, you are guilty Yes, yes,' replied Monistrol, and then added, in a hoarse voice, pray let me alone I' "We did so, taking care, howevar, t« station an attendant at the grating of the cell, to watch lest the fellow should attempt to commit suicide.

Goulard and PolMu remained there, and I—came here." "That report is exact," muttered the commissary of police "it couldn't be more so."

This was also the magistrate's opinion, for he muttered: "How can there bo a doubt ot Monlstrol's guilt after that?"

I was confounded, yet my convictions were improbable. I even opened my lips to hazard an objection, when M. Mechinet anticipated me.

All this is very fine I" he exclaimed. "Only, if we admit that Monistrol is the assassin, we are also forced to admit that he wrote his name there on the floor— and, zounds, it's hard—"

Stop!" interrupted the commissary of police "since the criminal confesses, what is the use of troubling ourselves about a circumstance that will be explained

But my neighbor's remark had once more aroused the magistrate's doubts. So, without pronouncing any opinion, he Baid

I am going to the prefecture: I want to question Monistrol this very evening." And after having told the commissary of police to carefully execute all the formalities required by the law and wait for the physicians summoned to make a postmortem examination of the body, he went away, followed by his clerk and the policeman who had come to tell us of the success of the arrest. "If these doctors only don't keep us •raiting too long 1" grumbled the commissary, who was thinking of his dinner.

Neither M. Mechinet. nor I answered. We remained standing face to face, evidently haunted by the same idea. "Perhaps the old man wrote it after all," munnu.cd my neighbor.

With his left hand? Is that possible? Without considering that the poor man's death must have been iustautaueous?" "Are you sure of it?"

From the nature of his wound I would take my oath upon it. But some doctors are coming who will tell you whether I am right or wrong."

M. Mechinet tormented his nose in a perfect frenzy of excitement. "Perhaps there is really some mystery in it," said he.

Inquiries must be made again. Well, let's make them and to begin letusquestion the concicryc."

And running to the staircase, he leaned over the railing, calliug: "Concierge! Conclcvgc! Come up here for a few minutes, if you please."
