Address ISDIA5AP0LI3 8ENTINEL, Indianapolis, Ind. Thi President works many hours every day, and worki hard. He is a Knight of Labor, ' Ho5. Simo5 Camisox, eighty-eight years ol age, has just returned from an extended European tour, well and hearty. He is one of the most remarkable men of the period, physically and mentally. Psisidest Clxyelaud will be present at the dinner of the Hibernian society of Philadelphia, on the 17th of this month. If on that occasion the President should make a speech, he will say something. Mr. Laert Jibome, of New York, offers to bet $18,000 to $23,000 that :CUauncey M. De Pew will have the New York delegation solid for himself in the next Republican National convention. DePew is now following Blaine over Europe. The Republican party is undoubtedly playing in hard luck, when ex-Governor Forter is publicly and privately snubbed, and such men as Michener, Sayre and Robertson are allowed to occupy the Iron' seats of the combination. Bah! Speaker Bates undoubtedly thought that Robertson had been vindicated when he Bald, "Well, Michener gave him enough to pay his board bill, anyhcw." Yes, and Michener without the slightest authority raided the State treasury to do it. The Bkttlkel and General Sherman occupy the same position with regard to Tattle's plot to ofler personal violence to the Fresi cleat at St. Louis. General Sherman doubtless believed that the plot was to murder Cleveland, and he pronounced it 'monstrous." The Morton Club, of Fort Wayne or elsewhere, instead of appropriating money to feed Robertson, could far better apply some of their spare cash for washing the Morton statue, which ornaments Circle Park in this city. The birds are making a favorite resort of it and are leaving conspicuous mementos of their visits. The Chicago Anarchists have been permitted to carry pocket knives during the period of their incarceration, and the sheriff thinks if they want to commit suicide no precautions will prevent the act. We fail to see any rea?on why anyone should object, if the Anarchists should conclude to save the State the expense of hanging them. Excuse our smiling, but wait just one moment until we can explain. Here now are Michener and Robertson in full froth and feather enjoying the front seat of the Eed Republican wagon and ex-Gov. Albert G. Porter doing his level best to hang on behind. All the rest of the gang hereabouts seem to be perfectly satisfied with the pageant-as it sweeps along. Ge5. Shesman promptly caught on to the purpose Tuttle had in view, if the Pretident visited St. Louis when the G, A. It. was in session. The Journal seems to think it strange that a Republican should be inclined to murder a President. Murat Halste ad suggested the murder of Lincoln lor the good of the country, and Guiteau murdered Garfield for the goad of the Republican party. Thebe is an association of the faculties of dental colleges of the United States. The Indiana Dental College wai admitted to membership in the Faculties' Association last Saturday in Washington, D. C, without question. Oa Tuesday Dr. J. E. Cr&nens, secretary cf the Indiana Dental College, was unanimously chosen to be secretary of the National Association. Quite an honor to Hoosierdom. Wabdes Pattos, cf the Southern Prison, In a letter to Governor Gray, elsewhere published in this morning's Sentinel, gives the exact shortage of ex-Warden Howard. The amount is $7,700. This is very different from the windy utterances of that meteoric BDlutterer, Michener, the Gensral Attorney of the Republican party of the -State. Jack Howard would be perfectly justifiable in having him arrested for criminal libel. THE CONDITION OF THE STATS TREASURY. Justice to the people of the State demands that a few plain words should be 'written about the condition of the State treasury. For some unexplained reason some one of the present Republican State officers or some one of their deputies, has given out the lie that the State treasury is ' empty. The Republican organs of this city have published the lie and it has been copied by the Republican press ot the State and country. The publication of the lie in the Eastern papers has given the State an unenviable reputation and is liable to injure its credit. This is unjust . to our people and is working in jury to our business interests. The lie can so easily be refuted that it Is beyond the comprehension of all sensible people that it should have been started. Under the law the Auditor and Treasurer cf the State must publish a report of the condition of the State treasury at the close of each month. These reports have been regularly published and have always ahova a large sum in the treasury. The statement published orriciAixr in the Sentinel and Journal on Wednesday of this week, showed that there was $103,001.50 in the treasury on the last day of August a pretty good, round Burn. At the close of July, about the time the He was started, thi ; published balance was ."X)3(6G2.G0. 2x0 w, if the treasury was empty at that time, it would be interesting to know 'where this half million dollars was, If not in the treasury It is the duty of the State o 53 cert to sustain the credit of the Bute, tut iittead of doing this, the present Auditor has allowed his deputy to give out the

impression that 1ha Etat la bankrupt, and the lie has spread like wildfire. The Journal rejoiced to sea the lis come back with a hundred per cent, added in

the way of comments, and these extracts from the Eastern pipers were eagerly copied into its columns. This was done, doubtless, for the reason that when an unprincipled man starts a big lie, he rejoices to hear others repeating it. Now the facts are that Indiana has a good financial record, and this is well known at home. The current expenses of the State for every purpose except interest on the public debt, are about $1,000,000 per year. No State, consider ing the population, can show such a record. The tax levy for State purposes la only twelve cents on the $109 o valuation, and it has been that for years, until the State determined to build three new Insane Hospitals, costing $1,500000; this twelve cent levy was abundant and left a surplus, but to pay for these Hospitals, a loan had to be secured. The State went into the money markets and borrowed at a less rate of interest than was ever paid by any Stale The papers of the country which have pub lished the lie will only be doing the manly thing to retract. Justice to our State and people demands that they should. The Atlanta Constitution of tin 2d in stant gets off the following "rebal yell:" "Twenty-three years ago yesterday a route agent named W. T. Sherman piloted the biggest party of excursionists into Atlanta that has ever visited Georgia. E Sorts were made to entertain the party here, but they decided to extend their trip to Savannah." "That was about the time Murat Halstead wanted some one to kill Lincoln for the good of the country. The Sintisxl complains because the Sec retary of State and Auditor of State, con stituting a majority of the Board of Public Printing, did not include it in the list of papers to publish a certain advertisement recently awarded. Journal. The Journal when it penned the foregoing statement knew it was perpetrating a de liberate falsehood knew that it was lying. The Sentinel simply pointed out the fact that the Auditor and Secretary, true to their natures, gave the advertisements to Republican papers only, a thing never be fore done in the history of the Board of Public Printing-. THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND WORKINQMEN, The Democratic party recognizes the un alienable right ot citizens to organizs for any purpose whatever not violative of constitution and statute. The Democratic party recognizes the un alienable right of citizens not to organize. The Democratic party recognizee the uu alienable right of citizens to choose their own pathways of "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," upon the theory that "God Is no reepector of persons," and that "all men are created equal." If citizens deem it wise and prudent to organize for any legitimate purpose what ever, the Democratic party is committed to the proposition that they shall not be moletted but shall be protected. If citizens deem It wise and prudent not to organize for any purpose whatever, the Democratic party is committed to the proposition that they shall not be molested, but shall be protected. It will be observed that the Democratic party is in favor of citizens, in the matter of organization for any lawful purpose, doing just as they please, and be it re membered that the Democratic party has neither penalty nor opprobrium for Amer ican citizsns because of their exercising any of tne unalienable rights ol citizen ship. We never heard of a labor organize tion that was constituted upon political par' tiaanism, that was all Republican, all Democratic, all Greenback, or all anything else in that way. Oa the contrary, the fundamental idea, as given to the public In every instance, has been that they were non-partisan, non-denominational. They take in men of all faiths and creeds, their prime objects being to improve the condi tion of their members, socially, intellect ually and financially. xso one complains ot these purposes, aims aod ambitions. To carry out the objects of the organization, the supreme de mand is money, and if the organization relates to labor, then the question that ceasele&sly.comes to the front is that of wages. Thf re have been of late years a great many emxes among laboring men as a rule the strike has involved the question of wages mea have struck for hhjher wages, men have struck because ot announcements that their wages would be reduced, or they have struck bee a us 9 the payment of wages was too long deferred, or because they were paid parkin scrip instead of all cash, or because they asked for ten hours' pay for eight hours' work and were refused. In some way, wages have been involved, and the strike has been on that account. Exceptions are occasional ly announced, but we have stated the rule. The recent strike of the printers of Indianapolis is one of the exceptions, and, strange to say, for which they are seeking to hold the Democratic party responsible. As an evidence of this, they ceaselessly as sail the Demooratic party and the Sentinel because it is a Democratic newspaper. They do not assail the Republican party nor the Republican newspapsr, though if it were a political party question, one is as much involved as the other. The public is making a note of this strange proceeding on the part of the strictly non-partita organizations, and are wonderiDg why it Is so. The labor organs do not answer why such a manifestly un jnst course is pursued. If they know they decline to state the facts, since -hey w?nld condemn them in the eyes of all honorable men. They prefer any subterfuge what ever which answers for a shelter. But we repeat that the recent strike of the Indianapolis printers was an exception to the general rule, and is therefore outside of the regular order. Let us see. The printers (we speak for the Sentinel) had full away in the matter of time th?y would work. They bet-an work and quit work, governed only by the time required to accomplish a certain task. When the

task was performed they measured their work tbemselres, tbey determined thembbItcs and for themselves how much the

had done. They fijad the price of that work themselTes, for themselves, they de termined when they should be paid, leayins: to the employer the simple duty of paywy them for their work and yet, these men say they had such a grieTanca as to warrant them in striking. Now, then, what was the grievance? Did it relate to their social, moral or Intellect ual welfare? If so, will the labor organs tell in what way? Did the grievance relate to that large liberty of working when they pleased, and of being idle when they pleased? Did it reiste to the measurement of their work, by which their wages were determined? Did it relate to the amount of wages they said they had earned? Every interrogatory can be answered in the negative. They were absolute masters of the situation, and yet, they quit work, drifted into idlesness, and now they seek to charge their own deliberate folly upon the Democratic party and upon the Sentinel, because it is a Democratic newspaper and for some un explained reason, they seem to be disposed to exonerate the Republican party ua a Republican newspaper, which, if a wroLg existed, would fall upon the latter with as much force as upon the former. Prudent, fair minded men see this; hon est workings) en see this, and they are discussing the circumstances with increasing emphasis. It is said that the printers for themselves chose idleness, rather than work at "union prices," at prices which they had them selves fixed as fair and honorable pay fox their services. What more does the "onion" demand? Will the labor organs answer? They will not. To say the Sentinel has declared war upon the principles of labor organizations, is mere assertion. What principles? State the principles. What principles were printers required' to "foreswear?" Name them. To charge "persecution" upon the Sentinel in the light of truth is simply Injustice. We challenge the labor organs to name a principle the Sentinel has attacked, or a "persecution" it has inaugurated. The position of the Democratic party with regard to the rights, interests and welfare of worklngmen Is impregnable. It may be assailed, and here and there may be found those who will be swayed by such tactics, but in the end the truth will prevail. As for the Sentinel, in its controversy with the printers, when subjected to the severest analysis, which we invite, it .will be found that the printers exercising a right of citizenship, which no one questions, deliberately left work for which, as we have said, they were re ceiving pay at prices which they themselves had fixed, and would now be receiving, had they listened to the advice of the Sentinel, which was that tliey remain at their posts, and if any questions arose relating to any interest whatever, in tchich they were concerned, a settlement should be hid either ly mutual concessions or arbitration. Isthat making war upon principles? Is that per secution? Labor organs are challenged to answer, and we invite all unprejudiced citizens to consider these facts. The president and the a. a. r On June 11, Gen. Sherman wrote a letter to Gen. John A. Noble and Col. D. P. Dyer, citizens of St. Louis, in which among other things, he said: Mr. Cleveland, the President of the United States, by a fair election of all our people, Ccmmander-in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United' States, is free to come and go wherever the jurisdiction of this our nation government extends. He may visit any fort or ship, where the national flag will be lowered to manifest respect to him and his omcers, and should a foreign ship fail to do him full honor, none will be bo quick to resent an insult as the members of tne Grand Army of the Republic who periled life and limb to make that flag respected at home and abroad. The idea of his being insulted. MUCH LESS EHPAHGERKD, 6HOCLD BE OH THE STAND ALOKGPIDE OF OUR COMMANDER-IS-CHIEF, GIIT. Jf AIRCHILD, WHEX THE GRAND ARMY IS PASSING IN REVIEW, SEEMS TO BE monstrous. I think I know the Iowa boys too well to believe such a thing possible. Brave men are never ungener ous and the lowa soldiers were orave men. l know it oi knowledge acquired in battle, and I pledge my life that no Iowa soldier will do so unmanly an act, and should Mr. Cleveland accept the invitation, which I hope he will, to attend the l arade of the Grand Army ot the Republic at St Louis on the 20th ot September next. I will stand by his side or march past In the ranks of Ransom Post: as may be or dered by General Fairchild. It will be observed that Gen. Sherman says Mr. Cleveland is President oy a "fair election," and that he is Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States." The grand old chieftian and patriot takes no stock in Tuttle's threat of insult and personal violence. He regirds such threats as "monstrous," and yet not a Republican sheet in the country ha3 denounced the threats. Their silence may be justly construed as approving the threats encouraging them. It Is well un derstood what personal violence means. Fairchild, the miserable Republican wretch of the Guiteau stripe, prayed to involve the Supreme Being in his scheme to help the Republican party just as Guit eau, the Republican fiend, sought to make it appear that he was the chosen instrument of heaven to "remove" Garfield, so that certain Republican swine would obtain a larger supply of government swilL Personal violence with Republican cranks means murder, and, manifestly, Gen. Sherman so understood it, and promptly denounces the plot to murder the President at SL Louis as "monstrous." It Is said that Gee. Black, Pension Commissioner, at the meeting of the G. A. It. in St. Louis, will present, or will have presented a series of resolutions, denouncing Fairchild and Tuttle, the adoption of which will be equivalent to a vote of expulsion of these two miscreants, and if they are ruled out or voted down, Democrats will promptly leave the organization. It will be a test question. If voted down, or ff they are not permitted to be presented, then it will appear that that which Gen. Sherman to greatly deplores and ssverely denounces as "monstrous" will be approved, and then insult and personal violence to the President of the Urlted States will be in order. The G. A. It. cannot afford to go on record in that way. The members of the G. A. R. are not asBassins, nor will tfcej jjaut aisiin. &

their ranks, nor those who plot assassination. Bach Indescribable scamps as Fairchild and Tuttle rxuat goto the rear. Murdering Presidents in the interest of the Republican party will not be tolerated.

TUBS CENTENNIAL CONSTITUTIONAL CELEBRATION. On the 17th of September, Inst, 100 years will have come and gone sine Georg Washington, the "Father of his Country," and "the first in war, the first in peace, and the first in the hearts of his countrymen," president ot the convention and deputy from Virginia, signed his name to the Constitution of the United States of America, together with thirty-eight delegates, representing twelve of the thirteen American colonies. The proposition now is to hold lu the city of Philadelphia a centennial celebration of the completion of a task which constitutes, in point of wisdom, profound and far reaching, the wonder of the world. Said Mr. Gladstone, on one occasion: "The American Constitution is, as far as I can see, the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man." The convention, which framed the American Constitution, asssmbled in the city of Philadelphia, In May, 1777. It was in session about five months, and each day the delegates deliberated some mighty idea of government by the people, such as had never before had a place in the consultations of men, clothed with power to lay the foundations of Government, wts made prominent they were continental ideas vital with truth and justice, and destined to lire forever. They related to the rights of property, the rights of person, and the rights of conscience, they fixed the boundaries of the rfghts of States and the rights of the Federal Government. They secured liberty and independence. They created a central sun of light and heat, and the States, like planets, were given their places in the system, and sent revolving on their circuits around the central luminary. A hundred years are gone since Washington promulgated the American Constitution and the question arises, by what standards sball its wisdem be measured? It was ordained at a time when the population of the county was le3S than 4,000,000, and thirteen States constituted the Republic It may be well for the reader to have before him the figures showing the growth of population, usprecednted in the history of nations. Year. Population. 1790.., 1800... 1810... 1820... 1830... 3,929,214 5..TOS.433 7.2"J3,8-;i ....9,661,82 12.806.02J ...17,069,451 1840. .2U91.S7G ,.81,4 .321 ..3?,5SH.37l 50,155,783 ...69,000,000 a SCQ.aasas 1870... lso 1887 (estimated) During this growth the Constltutioa, the organic law of the Republic,ähas been equal to every emergency. But this is not the only test of the apparently more than human wisdom of the American Constitution. With an increase of population there came a demand for additional States. Kentucky and Vermont in 1791, Tennessee in 179G, Ohio in 1301, Louisiana in 1312, Indiana in 1813, Mississippi in 1817,Illinois in 1318, Alabama in 1319, Maine in 1320, Missouri in 1821, Arkansas in 1S36, Michigan in 1837, Florida, Iowa and Texas in 1815, Wisconsin in 1847, California in 1S50, Mennesota in 1358, Oregon in 1350, Kansas in 1871, West Virginia in 1862, Nevada in 1364, Nebraska in ISOTand Colorado in 1875. These twenty-five empire States took their places in the great Republic, and on the flag of the nation. The Republic had marched across the continent, but the constitution extended its mighty aims and held them all fast in protecting embrace. There it stands, the sublimest monument to human wisdom in the matter of government the world ever beheld. It is said that every people has its monuments, either of art, or glory, or of science. They are the representatives of national character. The people themselves look up to them as memorials of their greatness, and strangers look upon them to know what that people was. We dig them out of the mines of antiquity to learn what antiquity was; and we seek them in the structure of zxoiern society, to know what the modern world has done. Wbat is the monument of the American people? Our improvements are all social improvements; we have no other glorywhich is not held In common with other nations. But we do claim to have acknowledged, asserted and maintained principles of society which were never acknowledged before by any nation. We have embodied them in a great charter of human rights. It is the sole representative of our character. Our constitution is our monument, and It Is gazed upon by others with an interest and an intensity greater than was ever fixed upon the pyramids of Egypt. To celebrate the Centennial anniversary of the promulgation of the American Constitution is eminently wise and patriotic, and it should be an event of such commanding splendor as to impress the nations of the earth with the sublime truth that men are capable of self government, that sovereignty is a Heaven decreed right of citizenship, and that under the provisions of a constitution, which grows in vitality and in the affections of the people as the years go by, is a perpetual guarantee that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people, which It proclaims and ordains, Is not to perish from the earth. No Ca for Worry. St Paul Pioneer Press.1 The late Judge Aaron Goodrich had a sincere contempt for men who anectedto be what they wee not. He never lost an opportunity to puncture the thin veil of their pretensions. One was discussing with him one day the existence of a God. He was an atheist and remarked with a sneer: "If God lets me alone I'll never trouble him." "My dear sir," said the Judge, "I have always had the firm belief that you gentle men never had the least cause for worry as to God's bothering his head about you.

NOT PLEASED WITH IT

Mrs. Hendricks Criticises Sculptor Parks' Model of Ssr Lit Hast mi. Bhe Pronounces it a Genuine Work of Art Bat Says the Expression is Kot True to Life Further Competition, The Executive Committee of the Hendiicks Monument Association held a meeting in Judge Rand's office yesterday afternoon to consider the matter of awarding the contract for the monument. Sculptor Parks has been at the Bates Hou&e for teveral days with a handsome marble bust of the late Vice-President and the original plaster ot paris model. All the members of the committee, including Oscar B. Hord and A. W, Hendricks, former partners of Mr. Hendricks, have been delighted with the bust ar.d were of the opinion that it could not be improved. Mrs. Hendricks however, is not so well satisfied; sL. does not think the expression is that usually seen on Mr. Hendricks' countenance. As a work of art she agrees with the members of the committee in pronouncing it perNo one that has seen the bust has undertaken to criticise it as a work of art. A fur fully considering the questioi of letticg tie contract at once, the committee dtcided to postpone the matter for a few months and In the meantime advertis) for competitive bids. It is thought the' statue can be secured for less than $2-3,000. There has only about half that amount been collected so fir, but it 1 3 believed that it will be no trouble to have $20,000 on hand by Jaiuary 1. It is altogether probable that Mr. Parks would hiye eceived th cat-act yesterday had Mrs. Herdricks b(en perfectly satisfied with the bust, and a 'ne was not it was thought best to see if aixdy else could produce a more perfect t ne. Mr. Parks still feels confident that ae will be awarded the contract, and eys he has no objection to making it a matter for competition. There is no likelihood that the bust will ever go out of this city; in fact, Mr. Parks has already had three ofiers from promi nent citizens who were near friends ot Air. Hendricks. He values it at $1,000, and eays nothing less will buy it. It would certainly be a handsome and imposing ornament for any home. The Committee will proceed to advertise for bids, and it is thought the contract will be awarded some time in January. From the time the award is made It will be two years before the monument can be finished and brought here to be erected. THE CLEVELAND TALK, Extract From a Beernt Interview With the President. IBallard Smith in New York World. MIDNIGHT AT THE WHITE HOUSE. The well-known " seal browns " I think they were had brought us into the city by a full fifteen minutes better time than I had made going out. In reply to a wish expressed on the way to see the White House at night, the president saia mat ne had imperative work for an hour or two, but that I would find him somewhat at eisure about midnight. It was nearly tbat hour when I did find him at the desk in his office on the second Soor of the White House, hard at v.ork with a pile of papers before him, and a secretary at intervals taking papers away as they were disposed of and adding to those before him. At the mam aoor l naa louna tne aiert Edwards disposed to bar my way to the President and evidently doubtful of any permission to disturb him at his laborr. Another messenger, apparently worn out, was taking a midnight nap in a chair by the inner door. In the reception room were several secretaries hard at it and with seemingly a night's work before them. The President naa a Dig parenment on the desk and was studying it closely. I learned that it was an appointment which had just been made out. He bad just signed another of like portentous fashion, which the secretary held in his hand while waiting to take away the other. But the President turned it over on its lace and said, "I must consider that a little further." Then he turned to me and said.- "This has been the room which has witnessed very many trials and perplexities, but I feel tbat it has been, too, the scene in which a very great improvement has been made in civil service ideas. In the first moaths. in the first year and a halt of my administration, the same battle was foaght day alter day. Men came here by the hundred by the thousand each company piling the room and emptying it only to make way lor another tnrong, ana mere was always the same formula: 'I have come, Mr. President, to ask that be re moved.' 'The reason r l wouia say. Why, he is a Republican. would be the uniform answer. This, repeated over and over and over again in each successive case with seemingly hopeless iteration, l had always I could have but the same answer. 'You muet bring me proof of his un fitness as a public officer.' I understood very well their inability to comprehend this. Knowing very well tne processes which had obtained here for so many years' I could but sympathize with their inability. . I have expressed this perhaps, more clearly in a letter wmcn i wrote on this subject just two years ago. " 'The success wmcn thus tar nas attended the work of civil service reform,' I said in that letter, 'is largely due to the fact that its practical friends have proceeded nron the theory that real and neaimy pro gress can only be made as sash of the people who cherish pernicious- political ideas, long fostered and encouraged by vicious partisanship, are pereuaaea tnaunecnaoge contemplated by the reform ofiers substantial improvements and benefits. A reasonable toleration of old prejudices, a graceful recoenition of every aid, a sensi ble utilization of every instrumentality that promises assistance, and a constant effort to demonstrate the- advantages of ths new order of things, are the means by which this reform movement will in the future be further advanced, the opposition of incorrigible spoilsmen rendered ineffectual, and the cause placed upon a sure foundation.' "But now the formula is altogether changed. I have not heard that expression for many months past. It is now, at the outset of every application for a change: This man is unfit, a faithless public ssrvact, and these art the reasons THE DEMOCRATIC rAETY AKD CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. "Is not this a very great deal to have accomplished? Is not -this a sufficient answer, for the time that has intervened, to those who may complain that more has not been accomplished? Harder than anything to endure have been the imputations of personal friends in the party that I have not regarded sufficiently their requests in making appointments. How could 1 have resisted tbe demands male upon me by others if I yielded to the mere request of one known to be near me in personal friendship? They would have put me in oppoeition to the very thing I was trying to curry through. "But it is a wonderful thing for a political party to have put aside the blindness of i aiiisanbhip. although at such apparent lissdvantage to it, and to have acquiesced in tbe new order of things, although so opposed to previous political methods. In tbat letter, which I have already referred ic, this was fully pointed out.

Concerning the question of his renomination, Mr. Cleveland eaid: "It seems to be the universal belief that a President must desire a renomination. I cannot understand how any man who has served one term as President could have a personal ambition in securing a second term, with all its solemn responsibility, its harassing duties and its constant and grievous exactions upon his mental and pbysical strength. His con seat, it seems to me, to accept a second term should rest only upon his Bense of a solemn obligation es a citizen and an appreciation of his duty when called upon to bear his particular part of the burden of citizenship. Ttnj the office can have at least, it can hare for me no personal allurements. If my administration during my term should be useful to the people, should respond to the wishes and expectations of those who elected me, should justify the reason for substituting in control of the Government the party which I represent for that which had administered the affairs of the people for a quarter of a century, my satisfaction would be complete. I hope my present term may be concluded with profit to the country, and with as few mistakes on my own part as are incident to fallible human nature" MRS. CLEVE LASD. An hour and more bad passed, and the President had Btill, obviously, much work to do. I bade him good night after his invitation to come to the White House aiin the next day at 1 o'clock. At that time I again met Mrs. Cleveland with the President. The day before she bad been dressed in some simple aud most becoming costume of white, but her hand; come gown of this afternoon, as tbe other, I have not the knowledge to describe Whatever Mrs. Cleveland wears or does seems to become her, to the admiration of every man or woman who has seen her.' It is the conventional expression, even among all the republicans that we are, to speak of a peculiarly stately and graceful woman as "queenly." If Mrs. Cleveland had descended from a line of gentle ancestors as perhaps she has with its ongin lost in the mists of antiquity, her simple ease in the place she fills as a bride of only a little over a year and graduate of a rural school of just a year before could not be more graceful and grateful. All this is enthusiasm, but it is a sentiment which is very clearly that of everybody who has met her. The White Ilouee is in the throes of its annual furbishing, and Mrs. Cleveland is giving it her persoaal attention. Four portraits had newly been hung in the great East Room, and Mrs. Cleveland's quick eye cm Ttrf thsf Vi Ava an si erri uvnna fsnl f XT K tt ik tt vuas ucio tt j git ji vu.a kt, s i r uj Mr President," she said, "they have placed Jefferson and Lincoln so that they turn their backs to each other!" So she arranged it forthwith that the gaze of Wasiineton and his noble wife, of the great Dtmocratic commoner and of the martyred President, should be directed toward the center of the room, and not that two of them toward opposite windows. When we were again alone the President spoke of all this, and when I referred to the absorption of his work, "There are duties to be done," he said, "and I must do them. It has happened that my life has been a laborious one always, with practically eo recreation. I am now fiftyone years old. When my prof esslouallabors had secured to me something of a competency and the right and oppartunity for leisure, I was called upon to perform public duties much more arduous than any which had pertained to my private life. As you know, the duties at Albany were hardly less exacting in their nature perhaps only in their extent than those of this office. I have now come to a time of life, and particularly to an epoch in my life, when I should gladly welcome leisure and freedom from responsibility. I may say I have just begun to live In all that is best and truest in life." When I alluded to the possibility tht the coming Presidential campaign migit Btill, nevertheless, find him exposed to its anxieties and responsibilities, he said: "The aspersions, the misrepresentations, the slanders as to motives, as to acts, as to purposes wbat mere allurement ot continued office could entice one facing all these, and knowing just what they mean?" "But," I supgested, "if you pursue the course you did at Albany, all that will not effect you, so far at least, as outward indications eo?" "For myself, it is true," the Present replied, "the excitement and the requirements of a campaign would make the differen ce in my daily walk. I should pursue tbe course of to day and of yesterday and of the day before that, and of ali days since I came here. But I can only repeat to you with a full sense of what the words imply, that I can understand no temptation and no reason, except his sense of his obligation as a citizen, which could persuade a President to desire a second term."

ABOUT iven years agol had ahamor break out upon my face ; it started In a small blotch u-.ii oukt-i i n Uie fcllnp faf a bee, theu it spread painful. I at mice went to one of the best doctors in tbe city and h could do roe no good. No loss tban twelve of tbe best doctors bare bad a trial at my face and all of them failed. I will not give you a list of their names, bnt will say that they were from Boston r New York and Maine, alto from England, France and Canada. I have been a hotel cook and steward lor years. In the fummer I cook at watering-places; that is why I have had an opportunity of being among good doctors. They could not cure my lace, and I had given up all hopes of ever beinij any better. Last Jone I went to Moosehead Lake, Maine, to cook for the seacon. My face was fo bad I did not like to be Keen. At the lake I met a gentleman from Enzland, lie told me to use your Cctictka Restediis and they would cure me at once. I did so. Tbe result was in three weeks the sores on my foee were healed. I used it all the season. My face is well, aud no scars to be seen. 1 have recommended it to a number, and in every case it has cured them. It would take a great deal of money to put me back where I was one year ago, providing I did not know wnat your Cmci ra would do. I shall recommend it as long as 1 live, and shall ever remain. H.
