Literary Note.

Ex President Grover Cleveland has written a remarkable article on “Oar People and Their Ex-Presi-dents” for The Tooth’s Companion which was published January 2d. In it Mr. Cleveland says: “As I am the only man now living who could at this time profit by the ideas I have advocated, I hope my sincerity will not be ques tioned when I say that I have dealt with the subject without the least thought of personal interest or desire for personal advantage. I am not in need of aid from the puh lie Treasury. I hope and believe that I bave provided for myself and those dependent upon me a comfortable maintenance, within the limits of accustomed prudence J and economy, and that those to whom I owe the highest earthly duty will not want when I am gone. These conditions have permitted me to treat with the utmost freedom a topic which involves no personal considerations and only has to do in my mind with conditions that may arise in the intnre, bnt are not attached to the ex-President of to day; and I am sure that I am actuated only by an ever-present desire that the fairness and sense of justice characteristic of true Americanism shall neither fail nor be obscured.”
