He Talks of Tariff Reform, Civil Service Reform and Ballet Reform.', The Baltimore Aim publishes an Inter view with ex-President Graver Cleveland. Says the correspondent! "Mr. Cleveland awed me about Maryland politic. He thought the Democratic party of Maryland was a splendid otganisatlen, and he hoped whatever dissensions existed would be speedily, harmoniously and permanently settled. In deseuaslng the question of ballet reform, I eaid te' him that some of the Southern Democratic leaden at Wash ington were fearful that the Australian system would Imperil Democratic su premacy. At this he was surprised, as he did net see why there should be any fear en that core. "But," eaid he, "I have never looked upon this question from that point of view. I have never debated in my own mind whether the removal of trickery from the voter would Injure or benefit the Demo cratic party. Ballet reform Is right, and that is why I think It should be adopted." He said Governer Abbett, of New Jersey, and Governer Campbell, of Ohie, were two of the most astute politicians in the country, and no one could be mere pro nounced In favor of the principle than each of them. Referring te the late municipal election In Bosten, which had frequently been held no as a warning te Democratic advocates of the Australian system, he said It was felly, te ascribe me Republican victory te tne effects of the new voting law. The law had nothing whatever te de with It, and no better proof could be asked of the value and Justice of the measure than the facts that all the leading Massachusetts Democrats were entirely satisfied with the operations. As te the argument that the uneducated voter would be embarrassed and in many Instances be deprived of his prlvllege, Mr. Cloveland could net see that there was anything In it. Nothing could be easier than the adoption of some sign or device, apparent te the most Ignorant, Indicating the political complexion of the candidates te be voted for. lie thought the best plan would be te have lists of all candidates printed en one ticket, the signs te be adopted starting at the top of each list, and Indicating te which party the candidates belonged. The veter could then by ene mark indicate bis Intention te vote for all the candidates of his party. He did net approve of the preposition requiring the voter te make a mark opposite each candi date of bis party. This wa cumbersome and laborious, and would result dis advantageous se far as both the educated and uneducated voter was concerned. Many business and profes sional men would net take the trouble te make a cress or mark opposite every name. This prevision would also give the voter who was net able te read his ticket all the protection and consideration -te which he was entitled. It would net prevent the indopendent voter from scratching any In dividual candidate objectlenablo te mm. The vital principle of ballet reform he re garded as ledged in the " official" ballet. Te permit an unofficial ballet would leave the deer as wide open as ever te bribery and corruption. An " official" ballet only would sweep away te a very great extent, if net entirely, all excuse for campaign funds that fruitful source of brlbery and corruption for If the state paid all tne ex penses of the elections there would be little plea te levy assessments upon candidates and contributions from Interested outsiders. The necessity for ballet reform was met urgent, and Indiana, a state most capable of Judging and appreciating the evils of the f resent situation, was ripe for the movement n that direction. In the last presidential campaign this virus of corruption of the veter bad passed largely into the rural dis tricts of New Yerk, and thousands of voters' who never had befere cast any but an henest ballet, had yielded te temptation, and for two-dollar bills voted against their own convictions. If net arrested by legis lation, it would be much worse at the next general election. The area of brlbery and corruption would Increase, the takers of bribes would double In numbers and in price, and the corruption funds would in evitably work te greater and greater pro portions. Reducing the opportunities for bribery as far as possible te a minimum would result in drawing party lines closer than evor befere, for the general voter, with no tomptatlens te swerve him, would natu rally cast his ballet for the party te which he was allied, however loosely. He ex pressed his perfect confidence that public xentlment was running strongly In favor of ballet reform, and he believed it would ere long be sufficiently powerful te compel respect and obedience from reluctant legis lators. Speaking of civil servlce reform, Mr. Cleveland said it was quite apparent that many of the politicians of both parties would be delighted if they could smother it out of existence by withholding the neces sary appropriations for its maintenance. Of course, tliev would net have the ceurage I te kill it directly. There was little fear tney weuia succeeu, even Dy inmreciien, for the principle had tee firm a held upon the country te be destroyed, and he looked for the time when its scope would be en larged and its benefits extended. t'assing te tne subject or tarni reierm i found Mr. Cleveland enthusiastic as when he wrote his message of December, 1887. I Inquired what would be the Democratic tariff platform for 189 and what, if any, ether issues than tariff', civil service and ballet reform, would enter into the battle. He was disinclined te talk about 1802, merely saying he thought it would take care of Itself. I then asked what could be dene te ad vance tariff referm among the agricultur ists or the Uulted States. He replied they were the class upon whom the tariff bears mero heavily than upon any ethors, and It was te relieve their burdens that he was se anxious. The high tariff had brought mortgages and ruin upon them, and it was hard te understand why se many erthein clung te what was their destruction. He thought the best way te reach the farmers and convlnce thorn of their own true interests was the establishment of tariff reform clubs among them, aud te dissemi nate literature applicable te their circum stances. It hed been tee much the custom In tiie party te send in the rural districts tariff documents consisting of facts and arguments of interest only for city peeple. The proper way te have them understand and appreciate the question was te glve them veritable object lessens, facts and figures which came home te thorn. This, he believed, was already being dene. THE SUNDAY' TOURING CLU1I. They Are Entertained Hy a Fellow Mem ber Whole Leaving Town. There was a meeting last evening of the bicycling organization known as the "Sun day Touring Club," composed of seven well known young gentlemen or this city.

A Lively Ttme at the Grand Army Cen ventlen en Wednesday. Jehn II. Hecter, a colored preacher and a delegate from Peet 309, of Yerk, made a speech at the Q. A. R. convention In Sbamekln en Wednesday. He said he believed that the Grand Army of the Republic was the place where a black man's rights were alwaya respected and where he waa treated aa an equal. He then turned his attention te the Democratic newspapers and criticized them severely aa te their attitude towards the negre. These remark were net relished by many of the members, although It seemed aa if they were aimed at Captain William Me Clellan, of Pittsburg, ex-chalrman of the Domecratlo state committee. Mr. Hecter concluded by saying he would put the assembly te the test aa te its feeling towards the colored comrades, and asked the endorsement of the department of his candidacy for the position of chap-laln-ln-ehief of the national body. The ether comrades sat quiet and no reply was made, but es Hecter passed Qeneral Leuis Wagner, the latter said te him privately t "Hecter, when you anneunce yourseir for that position simply en the score of being a black man. I shall oppose you with all my Influence." Hecter passed en, and shortly after the convention took a recess. Upen reassembling the colored comrade secured the fleer and assailed the goneral for his remark. He declared that General Wagner had masqueraded as the friend of the colored man, but was new coming ent In his true colors; that he (Wagner) did net love the colored man any mero at present than the colored soldlers, who had made his reputation during the war, had loved him. General Wagner's reply was very do de clded, and for aome time he scored Hecter In his most Bcvere style. He said he had never been commissioned as an officer of colored troops, but when at home en ac count of wounds took command of Camp William Penn, where colored troops were drilled, because no one else would take it, but Hecter was net there. Continuing, the General said : " When I organized the Grand Army of the Ropublle in this state, the first chaplain was a colerod tnsn, but It was net Hecter. Then the quostlen was asked whether, If colored men applied, would I admit them te the order. My an swer was that when honorably discharged colored soldiers wanted te loin they could, and Pest 27 was chartered and organized by colored men, but Hecter was net there. Ever since this department has been In existence a colored man has held office, but he was net Hecter. I belleve a whlte man Is every bit as geed as n black one, and wlien a man presumes te ask for a high and holy ofllce simply en aceunt of his color, I am against him." This tilt caused a decided sensation, and for sotne minutes business was temporarily paralyzed. Order was restored, however, and the routine resumed. I afterwards talked with the general about the matter, and he said : "I am net opposed te Hocter en account or his color, but think him pro pre sumptuous In aspiring te slu-h an ofllce simply bocause he Is a black man. His ar rogance was se great that I recommended him te run for coinmander-in-chlef. and then see where he stands. The position of cbaplaln-ln-chlcf is a high and holy one, and Hecter does net size up te It by a great deal." Later Mr. Hecter was seen, and at first declined te say anything, but, when told that General Wagner had been Interviewed, said : ' I propose te show that man up for his opposition te my race. He has posed as the friend of the colored man when he waa net. Why, at the national encamp ment at Portland I was mentioned for this very office, but Wagner said te me, 'Hec 'Hec eor, wait awhile; it's tee early for this move. Yeu wait, and I'll stnnd by you, and de ail I can, for you knew I am your friend.' If I -had gene te Wagner and al lowed him te announce me with a blare of trumpets it would have been all right, but, because I took my own way, he gees against me, and I bollevo helms been buck ing against the black man in every way for a long time." After things had quieted down the elec tion committee reported the following as having been chesen: Junier Vice Com mander, Geergo F. Shattuck, of Pest 331, Meadville; medical director, Dr. J. P. Burchfield, or Pest 170. Clcarlleld ; council or administration, William Emsley, or Pest SI, Philadelphia; Levi W. Bhengle, Pest 01, Philadelphia; Jehn F. Hunter, Pest 3, Pittsburg; Ell O. Sellers, Pest 8, Philadelphia, and William Horrocks, of Pest 55, Philadelphia. The first lour being re-elected, and Horrocks replacing B. L. Myers, or Pest 16, Philadelphia. Resolutions were adopted as follews:"Tbat this department favors all legislation iu reference te the battlefield or Gettysburg which tends te give intelligent Ideas or the position or the contending forces at the battle; and further resolved, that this department opposes any action tending te glorify these who In that hattle wero fight ing as rebels against our country; and further resolved, that under no circum stances should these who wero rebels, or any one in their behalf, place monuments en the battlefield or Gettysburg. " Jieselved, That this department has faith in the rectitude and energies of the committee en pensiens or the national de partment, and that we de net deem it ad visable at this time te pass any mere pen sion resolutions." A resolution was also adopted directing the delegates te the national encampment te further the rcadoptien of the old ritual and te try and sec ure from Washington the colors of the colored Pennsylvania regi ments, te te placed in the flag room at Hur rlsburg.

The Yeung Prlaee Bears ITImseireal lantly and Prove That lie Knew Hew te Fire the French Heart. The Due d' Orleans was taken from hie prison te the court In the palace of justice, by an underground passage. He waa dressed In black, wearing a close fitting black frock coat. The palace Was guarded by a detachment of soldiers, and admis sion was only by ttcket, but the court was filled with a mass of struggling men and women, and the Judges could hardly reach their places. There were many eminent people present President Judge Tanllff; after preliminary examination, asked the prlncote explain his nnautherlzed pres ence In France. The following Is from the New Yerk IttralJT cabled reports : The prince, very pale and evidently con trolling himself by a great effort, glanced nervously about him and seemed te find encouragement In the multitude of sym pathetic faces which met hie gate. Straightening himself with a proud movement of the bead and shoulder, he made the following declaration. His voice sounded low as he began, but had he whispered every word would nave been heard distinctly In the remotest corner of the room, se Intense waa the silence. As he went en he spoke louder, his cheeks flushed and he looked at his Judges out of a pair of eyes shining with old-fashioned ceurage. He made a pretty picture as he steed there telling his simple story, refusing te ask for mercy, ready te accept the censequences of his boyish en thusiasm and appealing te the soldlers of the nation te declare that he bad dene no wrong. These were his words : "Monsieur le President I beg permis sion te address you, but with no display of fine phrases. I came te France te serve In the army of my country as a common soldier. I have nothing te de with politics; that concerns my father, whose respectful eon and faithful servant I am. I did net go te the Chamber of Deputles,but te the enlist ment bureau. I knew the risk I am tak ing ; but that did net step me. I leve my country Is that a fault T I longed te aerve France In the ranks Is that a crlme T Ne. "Then I am net guilty. " I need no defense 1 thank my counsel for the devotion they have shown, but I re- Juiest them net te plead for me. I have no avers te ask, I make no appeal for pardon. In exile I have learned te honor the magis trates of Fiance. I shall respect their Judg ment, but If I am found guilty I knew that 200,000 soldiers or my age will declare me innocent, und all lair minded men and women will de the same. " As the nrince ceased speaking, the hush which had settled ever the chamber was succeeded by a tumult of cries and voices. Quiet having been restored, Prosecutor Cabat urged the strict application of the law but he was angrily Interrupted by friends of the prluce and tremendous applause greeted and followed the wply of Maltre Reusse, the lawyer defending t the veumr mau. Tremendously applaudi Jed was the follewing: "I have heard, sir, hew many times during the pest few days respectable peo ple were saying with a pitying air that the act of the Due d'Orleans in venturing en French soil was the act of a child. Yes, Indeed, it was the act of a child. I pray Ged that In the day of our national need and danger France may find rising up en every side many such children, who will hasten te the front eager te Uke their places In the ranks and fight for their country. He argued that the prince was justified. In the fact that he was obliged te come te Paris, In obedlenco te the military law of July 15, 1889, which summons all Frenchmen of the requisite age te repert for duty, and which makes no exceptions. The court retired te deliberate and seen returned, and In the midst of profound silence President Tardlff sentenced the prisoner te two years Imprisonment and costs of the trial. The whole audience rese and shouted it self hearso. Men sprang upon benches and frantically waved whatever they hap pened te be holding in their hands. "Vive le Due d'Orleans I" was the cry which rose en every side. As he was led te the corridor hundreds of persons wait ing there uucoverod their heads respect fully. The prince smiled gayly. "It does net treuble me very much," he said. Some one said, " Remember, men seigneur, that If you are pardoned and re peat the offense you will be condemned te ten years' Imprisonment." "Oh," said the priuce, shrugging his shoulders, " ten years Is a long time ; a great many things may happen In ten years especially In France." An excited mob outside was eager te learn the verdict. Several hundred friends and sympathizers of the Due D'Or leans were grouped about the eques trian statue of Henry IV. 'and with cheers and songs did thelr best te get up a political demonstration. Most of them were well dressed gentlemen, many well known In Paris. 'The police promptly IX ut a step te these tumultuous proceedings by arresting ever pass en. About r rybedy who reiuseu te pass en. About forty arrests were thus made, but all were roleasod later In the day. CASHIER HARD GETS HAIL. It Will Require Twe or Tliree Woeks te Examine the Rank' lioeks, Ellis F.

Iat evening Mr. Herr had occasion te go back near the end of the building and he noticed a light up etalrs. He at once eupposed that a thief had made his way Inte the tore and was engaged stealing by the light efa lantern. Hehastenedupstalra,ihtnklng that he could probably rapture the party. He did net find a thief, but was sur prised te discover a flre of geed sice burning very briskly Iu the southwestern cerner of a room which was formerly used as a varnishing room. In this corner was a large plle of pam phlets and papers belonging te Mr. Herr, which had been thrown tliore when he moved. Near by steed soveral new 10 10 frlgeraters.
