Grover Cleveland.
Grover Cleveland’s second term of
. President ended at neon to-day, and
William McKinley assumes the duties
laid down by the retiring president.
That Mr. Cleveland has committed
errors in the administration Of his high
trustwill be freely admitted by himself.
He would be more than human if, in
the delicate and often complicated du
ties of his office, he could always be en-
.tirely right; but that he has been unfal-
toting in his fidelity to his duties as dic-
tated by the most careful and conscious
t-ious studyof them, will not be disputed
by any whose intelligence and fairness
makes them just judges of the records
of our public men. He appreciates the
freedom of this Republic as the liberty
c mserved by law, and he has held with
Sirupulous consistency to the majesty
of the law and obeyed it as be under-
stood it, regardless of popular prejudice
or favor.
Coo~
To Regulate Lobbying.
A thoughtful and intelligent legislator
at Albany has introduced in the New
York Legislature a bill to regulate lob-
bying. There is no good reason why
any individual, firm, corporation,
church, or other organization should
not be permitted to appear by agent or
attorney before any legislative commit-
tee to urge the passage or dafeat of a
hill. There is no valid objection to
' presenting arguments for or against ‘a
a measure to any one or more of the
men who vote upon it. A railroad cor-
poration has as good a right, under our
laws and usages, to present arguments
for or against a bill as a church has to
advocate and try to get legislators to
vote for a Sunday law or an appropria-
tion for any specific purpose. It is the
abuse of lobbying, not the thing in
itself, that has created scandals.
This bill is intended to do away with
abuses and their resultant sc andals, or d
x «I.
‘
put the business on a proper basis. Ii.
provides a legislat’ve docket upon which
the name cf every person hired to pro-
mote or oppose legislation must be en-
tered and up'n which every person
so hired must see that his name is en-
tered. NO person shall be employed as
a legislative agent or counsel for com-
pensation which is contingent upon the
passage or defeat of any legislative
measure. Persons employed either as
counsel or agent shall confine them-
selves to appearing before legislative
committees, to doing “work prepsrly
incident thereto” and to giving legal
advice. There are other provisions of
a stringent character, and the renalty
for violating any of them is not leis
han $100, nor more than 81,000.

“ A Pig’s Long Fugi‘.
A strange story comes from Cinn-
miiigs, S. D., and is vouched ful‘ as
being absolutely true. Charles 1.):1-
Vis, living near Cummings, lost sev-
sral pig's during the first severe stern
of the winter, which occurred on
thanksgiving Day. Several attempts
were made to find them, but without
my success. Mr. Davis managed to
{ocuic one of them with a long pole,
with which he was digging into ' a
”urge snowbank. The snowdrift was
ape-nod and a unique hog-pen discov-
irod. with it solid roof of icicles. The
pig which it contained was far from
being dead, and, excepting the loss of
eonsidcrable flesh and all of its tail,
which had been frozen off, appeared
:o be none the worse for its long fast

Experience is the Only True‘Test.
F. A. Turner, of the State Insurance Of“
fice, Salem, Orc,, says: “Out of the scores of
cough medicines in the market there is only
me I have any confidence in and that is
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I make this
statement after an experience of twelve
years’ use of this valuable remedy. For coughs
and colds it is splendid, but Where its work
is infallible is with children subject to croup.
I keep it in my borne at all times.” Forsale
