One Year of Cleveland.
There is nothing in the present con-
dition of affairs at the capital, politi-
cally, financially, or in any other re-
spect, says a Washington dispatch to
the New York Sun, that in any manner
suggests that the Administration now
about closing its first year was brought
into existence by one of the greatest
victories in political history-4,380 far
from there being a single thing to indi-
cate one joyous sentiment or any feel-
ing of satisfaction about anything,‘th.e
reverse in its most aggravating form is
the fact.
It is impossible to exaggerate the
sense of disappointment, loss, and dis-
aster which oppresses Democrats who
so lately came to Washington to parti-
cipate in Mr. Cleveland’s inauguration,
and the meeting of Congress. The
victors and the chief they rallied around
so heartily, are in a condition of an-
tagonism. Nothing has he done that
commands applause. So far fromfiap-
please, open or suppressed denuncia-
tion is the hard fact growing harder
every day. There has been no act
done, no measure proposed, that has
not tended to Split the party into frag-
ments. Where statesmanship was looked
for there has been nothing that did not
shame the name at home or abroad. In
finance and administrative ability a
bankrupt treasury describes the fact in
general and particular 'at the present
instant.
as to the future, a budget is propos-
ed by the Administration that enacts
deficiency and debt and raids capital
and enterprise in the. spirit of agrari-
anism. The new budget threatens
every element of business and progress
as though these were enemies. The
Presi lent is in open hostility with his
party, bent on schemes of personal re
venge. He is constantly using the power
of the Government for this Contemp-
‘tible end. Whether one goes to the
Senate, the House of Representatives,
or to the departments, or wherever
Democrats are assembled, dissatisfacv
tion, anger, and sorrow are the spoken
words. Mr. Cleveland is accused of
acts and purposes to defend which it is
impossible, to support which would be
political suicide. Only a small part of
the truth as to this in L; nown to the pub.
lic, notwithstanding the great amount
of open speaking that one hears on all
sides.
It has been and to a certain extent
' still is, the hope of Democrats with
whom Cleveland seems determined to
quarrel, that he would return to sanity
and to the dignity hat belongs to his
station ; but this hope is dying out, to
be followed by a course of action be-
coming men clothed with the rights
and responsibilities of a co-ordinate
branch of the Government. It was in
this spirit that Senator Pugh, Chair-
man of the Senate Judiciary Commit-
tee, said in reference to Peckham’s
nomination, for Associate Judge. : “It
is my hope. and my opinion that the
committee will make an unfavorable
report on this nomination by Mr.
Cleve-lard." Senator Pugh is as true
a Democrat as the list of Senators
affords. His words are indictive of
the spirit of the Democratic Senators
provoked by Cleveland‘s general course,
I’eclthuni’s nomination in particular.
The nomination will be rejected by
even a stronger Democratic vote than
non-Confirmed Hornblower. This will
be. c-umulative proof that the point- has
been reached where Mr. Cleveland
mus. i’arepare to receive critimsm. The
Policy of Infamy will hereafter be
allowed no quarter; and generally
there is‘md kind feeling toward Cleve-
land. ‘he insanity of his actions is
admitted, and will be treated as it de-
serves. To this course of conduct
Democrats have come slowly but deter-
minedly as the only one that will suffice.

The Fayerwhether Millions.
The lawyers seem to be having an-'
other inning in the Fayerwhether case
and the executors do not seem to shine
brilliantly on account of their self-ab-
negation. Enough has been shown,
however, tonsatisfy most anyone that
Mr. Fayerwhether had philanthropic
intentions towards numerous colleges.
Probably, like many busiiiess men, he
haddurin g his life- time, sneered at colleg
es and college education, but like many
other men ,with similar views he had
relented and endeavored to atone for
his (sneers by a legacy. The Tilden
case. and the one under consideration,
ought to serve as an object lesson to in-
tending benefactors. Here were two
men with generous intentions but one
has been, and the other is likely to be
foiled in their benefactions. Had Mr.
Tilden or Mr. Fayerwhether donated
their money in trust while living, or
even gave it, reserving the income,they
would have been sure their bounty-ship
had reached her appoznted haven, but
they preferred to make wills and now
the ingenuity of lawyers has, or threat-
ens to undo their work. These exam-
ples, however, w1_ll pass nnheeded and
the benevolent Will continue to do in
the futurems they have done in the past,
make Wills that cannot run the gauntlet
of the courts. Euman nature is queer

forms and shapes, it can be depended

A NEW APPLICATION OF THE POP-
ULAR PHRASE.
It Concerns Us All More Deeply
1 Now Than Ever Before. ‘
A Far Greater and Nobler Use of
the Term Than the Original One.
How frequently we make use of pop-
ular quotations, and we do so because
they describe so accurately our feel-
ings. The heading of this article,mean-
ing, I came, saw and conquered, was
first employed by Julius Caesar to des-
cribe one of his victories, but even this
great man little realized the magnitude
of what might be involved in his fam-
ous expression. Recent events have
called forth the use of it in a grander
and more sublime meaning than ever
before.
Mrs. I. E. Ditmar, who residesat 806
Parker St, Boston Highlands, Mass,
ays: _
“I had been suffering for four or
five years with dyspepsia, indigestion
and constipation, experiencing constant
and severe pain in the stomach. For
years I ate scarcely anything, and could
take no food WlihO‘lt suffering the
greatest misery. i had also been afflic-
ted for five or six years with chills and
fever.
“I was induced to try Dr. Greene’s
Nervura blOod and nerve remedy, and
now, after taking four bottles of this
wonderful medicine I am entirely cured
of all these complaints. My appetite
has returned. I can eat without distress
and the chills and fever have entirely
left me. I consider it a wonderful cure
and I cannot speak highly enough in
favor of this medicine.”
. STRICKLAND.
Hon. L. P. S‘riokland, of {:8 Taylor,
St., CleVelnnd, Olin , says:
“I have taten Dr. tlri-eene’s Nervura
blood and Nerve remedy since last
spring and I feel like a new man. It
has cured me of chills, hot flashes,
bloating alter eating, cold feet and
shortness of breath. I have also had a
fistula for over twenty'years, and it
is almost gone now. I cannot express
how thankful I am that I used this
wonderful remedy.”
’1 his wonderful medicine, Dr.Greene’s
Nervm'u blood and nerve remedy, is
purely vegetable and harmless, and
has COlllc to us through the skill and
labor of a great physician. It has met
disease, and it is (so) qnering it all over
the country, to an extent never before
known. It is acknowledged to be the
greatest of all medicines in overcoming
diseases of the blood and nerves, and
all complaints arising from poor blood
or weakened and diseased nerves. If
you are suffering from any of these
diseases. chli as nervous debility. poor
blood, weak nerves, dyspepsia, liver or
kidney complaints, take Dr. Greene’s
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, the
great corqueror of disease, and your
system will be freed from all impurities
and Complaints. The doctor can be

Democratic Insanity.
’I‘hcpsople of the nation elected a
Democratic President, a Democratic
Senate and at Democratic House, and
gave an overwhelming majority in
favor of Democratic measures. How
have the mcn chosen to execute the
high trust pel‘lul‘llletl their duties, asks
the Democratic Philadelphia Times.
From the day of the meeting of the
present Congress until now, the Demo-
cratic majority has exhibited neither
statesmanship, political sagacity nor
patriotism. Itdallied With the silver
bill, which should have been made a
law in a fortnight-,until the country be-
came really disgusted with the lack of
‘Democratic COlJ esion and ability to rule
a great nation.
TWO plain duties were imposed upon
One is
the establishment of a sound financial
policy and the other the inauguration
of tariff reform. But instead of unity
of purposes on these great questions,
the Democrats have been discordant,
lacking in leadership, and thus far have
exhibited little else than the political
insanity that leads to suicide.
The fact that the house has been
delayed in the consideration of the
tarifi‘ by Democratic absentees, when
it was well known that the party and
the country desired prompt action,
simply brings the Democracy into pub-
lic contempt, and unless it shall gather
up its stragglers, declare its purposes
and pursue them, the present Congress
will accomplish nothing beyond sound-
ing the death-knell of the Democratic
party.
- ‘The business of the country is wait-
ing upon Congress to act, and Congress
must act promptly on the tariff ques-
tion or forfeit the confidence‘of the
people. Discord and delay are simply
evidences of democratic insanity, and
must surely foreshadciw Dembcratic
suicide. There is yet opportunity for
the Democrats to retrieve themselves
by promptly and manfully obeying the
command of the nation, but further
delay and divided councils must lead to
political overthrow. '
Senatorial Duty.
“Senator Platt, of Connecticut, says
that toe .ltepuolican Senators should
vote for the confirmation of Mr. Peck-
ham.”——-'\Ionday’s ‘l‘ribnnc.
The above isIhot quite an accurate
statement of what Senator Plett said, as
reported in the Tribune’s Washington
dispatches of the same date as the above.
In the reported interview as given by
the Tribune, the Senior Senator from
this state is thus reported :
Senator Platt is a member of the
Judiciary Commmittee, and he was
asked what he‘thought of the prospect
of Mr. Peckham’s confirmation. He
replied :
‘.‘I cannot say. I have not yet made
up my own mind how I shall vote. I
am trvingto find out all I can about
Mr. Peckham in order to be able to
form a correctjudgment as to his abil-
ity anti fitness for the office.”
“The men who are opposed to the
appointment assert m( s; positively th: {3
Mr. Peckha‘m is a cranky, prejudiced
man, wholly destitute of the judicial
temperament; while those who favor
the appointment are quite as positive in
their assertions that such is not the
case, and that his fitness is equal to his
ability. I believe it is generally ad-
mitted that his ability as a lawyer is
fully sufficient, and that the only open
question is as to his fitness.”
“ Of Course, this is not the only con-
sideration urged by some of the men
who are opposed to the appointment?”
suggested the correspondent.
“By no means, and on that point
there are some things I would like to
say. I think it is time for the country
to understand that the Senate as a
body, is not specially concerned in the
considerations to which you have al-
luded. That certainly is true, so far
as I know of the Republican Senators.
It is grossly unjust to say that if they
vote for the confirmation of Mr. Peck-
ham they are taking the side of the
President against Senator Bill, or that
if they vote against confirmation they
are siding with Senator Hill against the
President. So far as I am concerned,
the only pertinent questions in this or
any other case relate to the fitness and
ability of the persons nominated, and I
do not intend to be influenced in the
least degree by any other considera-
tion. It is not for me to investigate or
be influenced in my action by the mo~
tives that inspired this nomination or
that may lead to any other nomination
President Cleveland may make. In
my judgement opposition to an up-
pointmcnt cannot be justified upon any
other than public grounds—the public
welfare and the moral and intellectual
fitness and ability of the man whom it
is proposed to appoint. No, not on the
ground of so-callcd ‘courtesy.’ It' the
Administration were Republican and
the President should nominate a man
from my state to a high judicial office
without consulting me, I should very
likely feel hurt, but that would not jus-
tify me in trying to defeat his appoint-
ment unless he lacked ability or was
otherwise unfit for the place.
“ Now, take this case. The office to
which Mr. Peckliani has been nomina-
ted is of supreme importance. The
time may conic—indeed, it sometimes
scenic to me to be approaching—when
the safety, if not the very existence, of
our institutions may depend upon the in-
tegrity, firmness and wisdom of the
Supreme Court of the UnitedStates.
For my part I cannot consent to the
appointment of any man to that tribu-
nal who does not possess the highest
qualifications, who does not broadly
comprehend and thoroughly believe in
the principles upon uhich our Govern-
ment rest, or who lacks the ability and
courage to defend and enforce them.
With this view of my duty you see how
impossible it would be for me to take
any account of the Democratic party
quarrel in the State of New York, or
of any political motive of the Presi-
dent in making the nomination or of
Senator Hill in opposing it. It will be
a sad day for this country when a nom-
ination for a high judicial office shall
become a football of party factions in
the Senate of the United States. Tak-
ing the lowest view of the matter, I
cannot see what party advantage the
Republicans in the Senate could expect
to reap from siding with either of the
Democratic factions in New York poli-
tics.” ‘

Ex-Sheriff of Ulster County.
Hon. Davis Winne Owes His Health
to Dr.David Kennedy’s Favor—
ite Remedy.
SHANDAKEN, N. Y.—One of the most
prominent men in Ulster County is the
Hon. Davis Winne, of this town. His
reputation is not confined alone to this
county, where he held the office of
sheriff for three years ; he was also this
district’s representative in the New
York State Legislature. .For years Mr.
Winne has been suffering from a com-
plicated case of kidney and bladder
trouble and congestion of the liver.
Upon the advice of friends he] deci-
ded to try Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite
Remedy. He was not disappointed, for
in a short while after he began its use,
he was in better health than he had
been in years before.
In speaking of Favorite Remedy to
your correspondent Mr.Winne said : “It
has done more for me than all the phy-
sicians I ever employed, and I most
unhesitatingly recommend it to any-
one sufi'ering from kidney, liver or uri-
nary troubles, for it will cure them.”
Dr. Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy is
today the acknowledged specific for all
diseases arising from acidity of the
blood, and will cure dyspepsia, rheu-
matism, kidney liver and urinary trou-
bles, scrofula and eczema.
No man or'WUman can afi'ord to trifle
with health and life. Putting off treat-
ment when dangerous symptoms exist
is only slow suicide. To avoid their
fatal efi'ect accept- the aid of Dr. Ken-
nedy’s Favorite Remedy; it has re-
stored thousands to health and strength.
