EX-PRESIDENT CLEVELAND. With the passing away of Hon.

Grover, Cleveland, the United .States loses not only one of the most con­spicuous of Its recent historical figures and the only living ex-president of the United States, but a man of rare weight, courage and strength.

His dissolution at this time seems almost significant in view of tihe fact that there is imminent a battle polit-

two parties, of one of which he was the honored leader for many years—possibly the ablest leader it ever had. Whether we may dispute ahout the comparative greatness of partisans, It has 'been agreed by men of all parties, especially since Mr. Cleveland stepped down from the of­fice of president .the last time and his administrations could be reviewed with more calmness than was possible In their time, that he was a solid, sin­cere, thinking executive, with strong convictions and the courage thereof.

No man of any party, in or out of of­fice, was ev?r more bitterly abused thaa Stephqn^Grover Cleveland, who from his eiwiy manhood, saw; fit to keep his first name In the background. What man lives today that remembers the aggravating assaults on the then, president's dajiy habits, his failure to go into the^pj^ll war. and his veto of numerous pi^jgtate pension bills, but will say thef^Hticism was as hard as could be utrajred by disgruntled peo­ple? * jljf.'

Yet with a|#this Mr. Cleveland, who In his first campaign, against James G. Blaine in. 1884, won the election, got' a plurality of 98,017 votes against Benjamin Harrison In 1888, al£ho In

i the electoral college he was defeated by I a score of 2&3 to 168. This evidence

of his strength In 1888 was renewed with emphasis in 1892, when he ran again against President Harrison and won by a plurality of 380,810 in the popular vote and the electors' fran­chises stood.-277 to 145 in.his favor. ;

He furnishes the only Instance In American history of a one time presi-'dent being defeated for a second term and securing apparent vindication by the result of a third contest.

On his retirement from the cares of state he accepted a chair at Princeton university, which he held up to the time of .his death. Mr. Elmer Cline, of this city, a Princeton alumnus, recalls a lecture which the ex-presldent gave to the students in which Mr. Cleveland analyzed a number of the situations which enmeshed him while in office, giving his reasons for his course in the different problems. In this the students got facts which may never be known to history, ari# there will be great re­gret if Mr. Cleveland did not bequeath this interesting data to posterity in his writings.

Mr. Cleveland married Miss Frances Folsom, of Nftjy York, a young woman whose beauty-jand sweet dignity gave her an envied,.place in the hearts of a nation whip she graced the White House as the" .first woman of the re­public. In dcinifestlc life the Clevelands seem to have found rare felicity, and at Princeton, uvhere they made their residence of late years, they were re­garded with that true respect which is the sincerest tribute to the hearth.

The United States has to acknowl­edge its great loss In the passing of Mr. Cleveland, and national sorrow will join that of the widow and children.

T.heir 103s Is of a devoted husband and father, while that of the nation is of a highly capable servant and most distinguished citizen.

THE CALL OF THE STREET. When we hear someone speak of the

Joy of getting away from the city life onto the farm, where nature calls and life Is one grand sweet song from early morn to dark of eve. It usually brings the reflection 'that such an ob­server knows not of what he speaks.

The average city man, whether he be •in store or office, factory or mill, or if he is a day laborer used to the most irksome kind of work with the hands anjl body, quails before the work that greets the farmer every morning. T.he farmer's day begins long before the city man's, his toil Is due before the city man's rising hour, ajid his task does not near its end until the urban-ite has had his dinner (Ifs supper in the country) and Is out with his wife for a ride, is calling on a :rmighbor, or has started some other pleasant social diversion to rest his mind and carry his thoughts away from all that savors of business.

It has a beautiful sound, this sen­timent of "getting back to nature and tilling the soil," but It's the strenuous life with a vengeance. The people are fond of accrediting President Roose­velt with rare powers of endurance in matters stremious, but w}^t of the farmer whose every day IS", full of strain?

As for the farmer himself he forgets

it. He's busy from sunup until sun­down and after, especially in the sum­mer time, and his ten minuteg to read the paper before turning in about 9 o'clock is not enough of an Indulgence to spoil him for 'the morrow.

As has been pointed out in these col­umns before, "the labor of ithe farm is too arduous lor the city man. Possibly that's an excellent reason why the city fellow usually lasts a mighty short time at farm work, while the boy from the fields Is a rattling success In town. Here's a bit of evidence that the farmers. In their busy times, can­not get the help they want from the city ranks, even tho there are plenty of idle men who might well be em­ployed at agricultural effort:

Marshall. Mich., June 24.—Farmers in this part of the state are In need of farm help to assist in the harvest, haying and fruit season. But the help Is hard to get. There are prospects of a bumper crop of produce of var­ious kinds this year, and a large num­ber of men will be needed to help harv­est it. Owing to the light forces emi ployed in the various factories the sup­ply of help -ought .to be good, tout for some reason the men do not like to do farm work. There is also a dearth of women for domestic work, espec­ially on farms in ihis vicinity!

C^ne reason the city chap rarely gets the grasp of things In the country Is .that his chance to start Is at the most trying time. The summer Is the farm­er's harvest season In every sense. It is when he gets In his heaviest licks and It is the time when he most wants to hire a man. The man from town | goes out and tackles the labor, butj twelve hours wrestling with 'the plow in the hot sun. or making hay, or any other of the brawn-needing tasks, soon gives him a longing for the streets of home.

As the cobbler should stick to his last the average city breds might as well make up their mind that the farm is too much for them. To their ears the call of the street is louder than the call of the pike.

THE SERENADE.

t

SOME KICKERS BRING BENEFITS . "It takes all kinds of people to make

a world," and a little reflection Is gen­erally sufficient to convince one that the most unpromising subject of con­sideration often represents a type that the world , could really ill afford to spare. £

Everybody Is acquainted with the man who seldom has a word of ap­probation for any person, Institution or idea existent In the community in which he lives. Everything ought to be different in some respect. Not a word In praise of merit, hut plenty of condemnation of defects. Such an In­dividual is the neighborhood crank; unpopular with all who form his ac­quaintance, and often unconsciously subjected to the query: "What possi­ble satisfaction can such a man de­rive from existence?"

Many of these chronic faultfinders, however, leave with their hearers the impression that their criticisms are well founded. That altho uttered in a tactless and disagreeable manner a desire is created in the mind of the hearer to effect an improvement where Improvement is needed, and when the change has been •acbomplished If we are fair to the "crank" we perceive the truthfulness of the old adage.

On his farm several miles away from any trading point lives one of these old "kickers." A good roads movement swept over his county and some flne stretches of highway were fcuilt. No words of commendation from this man, only the complaint that the taxpayer living remote from town was not get­ting his share of road improvement. Agitation of the subject followed and that neighborhood has good roads tho to those most benefited the old man is still a "crank." Examples of this kind •are everywhere apparent. Many needed reforms result from a criticism of one whose perception seems' to act only on defects to the detriment of his standing among his fellows.

The acquisition of additional ideas Is not an unprofitable occupation for most of us. Give the intelligent "crank" a chance and he will furnish his Share of them.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES " "There is a political machine at lies

Says the Osage Press: "The ex-pass holders of the state are greatly elated over the state are greatly elated over the defeat of Governor Cummins, but while revenge may be sweet, it will never bring back their railroad pass. The pasteboard has gone never to re­turn."

The Sioux City Journal believes Har­vey Ingham heaved a heavy sigh of relief when he found Allison was not going to be kicked out. '

" 'Glory to God,' says the Ames Times, in big red letters, over the nom­ination of Senator Allison," remarks the Carroll Herald. "The brother will have to answer to the charge of steal­ing without giving credit, when called to face St. Peter."

"People who talk about the millen-ium are usually regarded as harmless dreamers of the Impossible," the Early News comments. "And yet the mil-lenium is not impossible. If every man would sweep and keep clean the doorway of his own life, and not wor­ry so much about the doorway of oth­ers, it would be reached. In other words, if a man would but devote himself to getting rid of his own vices and sins, and not quite so much to those of other people, the milleniurn would be here in less than three months."

The Dubuque Times-Journal says that four hours sleep may be enough for Edison's tnen, but it insists that the proposition to hold a- harmony banquet at Des Moines should have as many months at least.

THE BREWERS.^, (Fremont Tribune.)

The brewers in national convention have decided to enforce the laws gov­erning the liquor traffic. They complain that there is great prejudice against them on the part of many persons who never see the inside of a saloon and Who consequently do not know how or­derly and decently and splendidly they are run. There is some truth in this, for about the strongest opponents of the saloons are those who do not visit them. Those who do frequent the grog-gerles are not the ones who could be depended upon to elevate the moral status of society. Those who do not visit' the boozeries sge enough of their product to convince them. The thousands of young men who are an­nually sent direct to hell thru the sa­loons are proof enough for most sane persons that the saloon Is serving no good purpose in the world. The physical wrecks, the despoiled homes, the brok­en-hearted wives and mothers, the hungry and ragged children, the ruined business, the crimes caused by the sa­loons are the evidence upon which modern judgment against the saloon is being pronounced. The brewers and the distillers and the liquor Interests generally have been sowing the wind. Others have been reaping the whirl­wind, and now, in accord with the in­scrutable laws of compensation, those who have been sowing have begun also to reap.vpi.Vf f V » X.LcJJ

"Among a large part of -the citizens of the state," says the edi­tor, "we have earned a reputation for lawlessness, rowdyism and an entire disregard for the rights of others. We

have dragged the name of 'college man' in the mire and have made our­selves the laughing stock of the whole country. In return for this we have gained absolutely nothing. Financially we are just $1,000 out of pocket. Be­sides this, the' riot has, morally, cost us an amount never to be reckoned."

The Wright brothers of Ohio expect to do better with their aeroplane, which they have patented in the United States and most Euro­pean countries We will not have many years to wait for the ap­pearance of the aeroplane at state fairs and summer parks.

Room for Improvement. Of an annual output of manufactures

valtfed at $15,000,000,000, we export only about five per cent, and if from this amount we deduct such nearly crude manufactures as copper, petroleum and Its products, iron and steel in bars, pigs and rails, we have an Aport of the more highly finished products of only about three per cent of our total man­ufactures. As has been said, America is little more than a huge stevedore bearing down to the ships of the sea crude and semi-crude materials for th3 use of foreign manufacturers. Not only this, but from the wilfulness of ignor­ance or selfishness American manu­facturers have been forced to build fac­tories in Canadaff Our miscalled pro­tection has taken employment away from American laborers and given it to Canadians, not only to supply Canadian markets but that goods formerly man­ufactured in this country may now be made in Canadian factories to supply France and other foreign territories, under the reciprocal treaties of Cana­da.

r Musician and Millionaire.

Prince de Sagan, talking about music with one of the French correspondent^ in New York, mentioned the violinist Ysaye.

"The plump, pale Ysaye," he said, "with his locks that hang down over his face to his chin, Is very, very proud. A millionaire bootmaker invited Ysaye to, dine with him last year In Nice. Af­ter dinner, the millionaire brought out a violin and asked Ysaye to play. The musician bit his Hp, but taking the In­strument, he played several beautiful morceaux.

"Afterward, in Paris, Ysaye invited the millionaire to dinner In his turn. There was a distinguished company present. After dinner, as they were all at coffee In the salon, a servant brought the host a pair of old boots.

"Ysaye took the boots and handed them gravely to his millionaire guest.

" 'But what am I to do with these?' the guests demanded, holding the boots awkwardly In his lap beside his cup.

"'In Nice,' he said, 'you asked me after dinenr to play for you. Now I ask you to mend these boots for ine. Each to his trade, you know.'"

Try Preventics, At My Risk With Book on Colds.

Just to prove merit—to show you how quickly Preventics can and will check colds or the Grippe—I will mail you free on request these sample and my book. Simply address — Dr. Shoop, Racine, Wis. Preventics are thoroughly harmless little Candy Cold Cure tablets. No Quinine, no laxative, nothing sickening whatever. To check early Colds or Grippe with "Pre­ventics" means sure defeat for Pneumonia. To stop a cold with Preventics is surely safer than to let it run and be obliged to cure it afterward. Preventics will however reach a deeply seated cold. But taken early—at the sneeze stage—they break or head off these early colds. That is surely better—that is why they are named "Pre­ventics." Promptness _ however is all-im­portant. Promptness in the use of Pre­ventics may save half your usual sickness. Feverishncss, night or day, with child or adult, suggests the need of Preventics.
