"THE KING IS DEAD, LONG LITE THE KING." IT IS A FICKLE AND A CHANGEABLE world after all. The public

; blows hot and cold as a veering weather vane. With the death of the na-j ; tion's only living ex-president, Grover Cleveland, the fact becomes patent !that few men in public life have been so bitterly maligned as once was he 'who was twice elected ruler of his country. Because Grover Cleveland ;was honest enough to declare his convictions that the free silver heresy : was a sad menace to the business world, he was wilfully accused by Bryan's followers of attempting to wreck the democratic party. The very enemies he made brought him friends. He had been assailed by the republicans as a danger to business because of his belief In tariff reform. He was denounced, by, the populists as a truckler to the great corporations. He' was criticized by the prohibitionists as being a foe to temperance and against , prohibition. Now that death has come and silenced his voice and palsied his once powerful frame, all 'of his enemies have suddenly come to find out what a really great man he was. For he was a great man. He had none of the brilliancy and the policy-playing methods of his contemporaries, but upon his retirement from public life he was metamorphosed Into an idol and on his becoming a' national figure by reason of his position as the only living ex-president, the people came to acknowledge him honest. Cleveland was upbraided often as being a politician with sel2sh Interests to conserve, and his own personal aggrandigementto guard, but that he loved his country, his wife "and his family no one can deny, and he is to be honored and revered f of those things alone. The literary work that he has done since he left the White House, though often stilted In style and bigworded, certainly raised him higher in the esteem of his countrymen and made them eee the true Cleveland heart and head. The national spirit of his pen alone made him a great man. The public warnings he uttered have endeared him to the political economist and the guardian of the hearthstone. This love for those who loved him, the sad fate of his first born, his. devotion to angling, brought him very close to the common people. Bad men are never good husbands and fathers. The man who loves to sit" beside running water under the blue dome of heaven, communing with nature while he fondles his rod and flies or placidly hunts small game is a man to be loved and not to be feared. As hl3 mouldering clay goes back to the dust from whence it came with the rolling on . of the years, the memory of Grover Cleveland will always be honored and American history will write of the great democrat with a kindly pen.

Fixity of purpose, strength of will and 'a stolidity that knew nd wavering Vere elemental traits of his character." Word of the death of the former president passed over the state house quickly this morning, and was the topic of conversation among many of the state house people, especially those who were active in public affairs when President Cleveland was at the head of the nation.

Grover Cleveland

BY ONE WHO KNEW HIM. The death of Grover Cleveland aroused genuine sympathy throughout the country. There Is no man of any party or place or creed who does, not freely acknowledge the worth of this great man or fails to pay respect to his memory. And now as the euconiums and eulogies are being penned and the biographies written well may we pause and review, for the moment the enduring qualities that insures Grover Cleveland a place in the Valhalla of Nations. Born and reared In poverty, deprived of the earlier advantages of educntion and training; without the bril liancy and dash that have character ized many of his compeers, this man rose to exalted eminence and respect In the eyes of the world principally becauso of his rugged honesty, his sincerity and tenacity of purpose. His single desire and determination to do his duty as he found It and an entire absence of ulterior motives or questionable methods. Grover Cleveland was not a scholar. In tho stern school of necessity tha lessons ho learned were without adornment or enbellishment, and still his advance was more rapid, his development more marked than any man of his day. From 1881 as mayor of a fourth rate city of New York, to 1897. retiring after being twice a president of the United States and thrice a candidate. Is a record that few men have ever approached, and all without the pyrotechnics, the calcium light tho cheap habiliments so often overplayed In these later days. And If you seek the reason you have not long to look. Where others were superficially Intelligent Cleveland was studiously Intellectual; where others dodged and trimmed and covered and crossed, he kept determinedly on his way. Where others, when the ways were uncertain and the storm clouds lowered, hesitated and compromised, ho went bravely on, faced doubt and opposition, wrath and fierce Imprecation, never halting, never taking a backward step. In many a momentous hour when policy pointed to -easy routes and stern duty to the stubborn rocks, he chose the latter. Where advantage and ease held aloft the prize which the world excused and mimic men approved and honestly pointed to the contest, the troublesome way to the barren fruit as viewed by the worldly, he chose to follow where honor led and scorned the trophies of questionable ease. And In all he was great and In his greatness, modest, which is after aU the final measurement of intellectual greatness. Fearless to do the right he encountered opposition and courted the combat of disappointed expedients, but even there he fought without offensive obtrusion and sought not to win acclaim with cheap appeals to the excited galleries, and when the qualities of honesty, candor, fearlessness and determination are presented In form concrete, they will wear tho habiliments of Grover Cleveland. son and that, while he Is improving, his condition is still such that he did not believe his physician would permit him to be told of tho news. It will be en tirely impossible for Mr. Dickinson to attend the funeral ceremonies of the former president, Mr. Cullen said. Columbus, O., June 24. The reply of Attorney-General Wade Ellis of Ohio, to the criticism of Mr. Bryan on the republican national platform, has suggested a further question as to how the anti-injunction plank, as finally adopted, came to be written. On this point Mr. Ellis has made this statement:, "The anti-injunction plank, as finally adopted, was written by the friends of Secretary Taft on the subcommittee on resolutions and was approved by the secretary and the president before it was proposed as a substitute for the original plank on this subject. In fact, every plank and practically every sentence in the republican platform, as finally adopted., was approved by the secretary, although those portions referring practically to the work of administration, were not submitted to the president. Even the unimportant verbal changes between' the draft as published beforo the convention and as finally adopted by the convention were made with the secretary's knowledge beforo the tentative draft was submitted to the committee. "This statement Is made In order to make clear the fact that the republi can platform contains no suggestion of a retreat from the Roosevelt policies, stands squarely by the progressive principles of the party and was adopted because It had the emphatic approval of the party's candidate." INDIANA CHRISTIAN ENDEAV0BS. Evansville, Ind., June 25. The In dlana Christian Endeavor union Is cele brating Its coming of age with a largely attended convention in this city. Sev eral hundred delegates and visitors from all parts of the state were on hand for the opening today and many more are expected to arrive before to morrow morning.
