Some folks make a great muss over little things that some other so called great folks do, while achievements of ten fold greater magnitude by people of less note are passed by as unworthy of consideration. Why just look at the nonsense over Grover Cleveland ! He can’t go out on a little gunning trip but what the Associated Press has to telegraph columns of stuff over the country about it, The other day he spent a whole day out on a hunt and it was told with a great flourish that he killed six rabits and two partridges. LH Bob Moye, or Jim Cherry, or Dolph Hyman could not go out and beat this wan hour we’d move to take their guns away trom them. ; ve > President McKinley’s message to Congress made its appearance in Tuesday’s papers. ‘The message may suit some of the Republi- cons and the advocates ot a single gold stardard, but people holding a different view can see no ood to the country at large in the suggestiors he mak eg. In his reference to the tarff can almost ke seen a vien of disappoint- ment ut the results so far produced by the Dingley bill that was adopted by the late extra session. He sees noth- ing in that measure that even a Re- publican can boast of and shoves it aside with few words, with the recom~ -qwenéation that retrenchment be made in appropriations. Neither could the President make any brag about the farce played by his commission that wert over to England to confer upén inter-national bimetallism but he recommends the adoption of Secretary Gage’s plan ang that all United States notes. upon which gold is drawn out of the Treas- ury be held and not paid cut again except for gold. In reference to the Cuban question he wants the United States to keep hands off and let Spain attend to gettling the war over there. He evidently has more faith in Spain’s good intentions towards Cuba than most of our people have, and in this he is not in harmony with his party platform. | The President shows more concern ; * AS about Hawaii than he does about Cuba, and wants us to go 2,000 miles away from our shores and annex that country which our government has no use in the world for. He sticks the knife in many very anxious pie hunting Bepublicans in his declaration to stand by the civil service law. The message taken as a whele has no merit except 1ts easy flow of lan- guage, As a state paper it will rank tar below the average. It is a well drawn cover of unkept promises, but is about what was expected, TY Something of a Storm Brewing ocean eran Washington, Dec. 4.—A storm in the Republican camp is impending over the appointment cf collector and at- torney in the eastern district. Repre- sentative Skinner’s conferenc? with the President two days ago has stiffened his back-bone and the Republican Populist faction here, supporting Cobb for collector and Bernard for district attorney, is indulging war—to-the- knife.talk tonight, Cobb is detained at home by illness in his family, but his supporters, including Mr. Theo. White, the Populist county committee of Hertford, are here in force. They are pugnacious in theirtlemands in this instance. They plainly and openly declare that the defeat of Cobb and Bernard means the demoralization of the Republian party chairman of in the eastern section ot the Scate and Democratic success in the next Legis— lature and judicial elections through- out he State. From their standpoint ‘t will be anact cf bad faith that will prove disastrous {to the Republican party.
