The Democratic cacklers are trying to ioom Cleveland for a third term. They know that there is nothing in it, but they hoe that thrift may follow fawning.

Wise:; tHrress assembh-s in De CTnVcr next the Republicans will have an awful deficit to provide for. In what way the money is to lie raised is K-coniinga matter of discussion among the statesmen of the party. No increase f tariff duties is possible while our free trade President has the veto power an his fist, and some temporary expedi- nt must be devised to raise revenue tuntil the licpuMicaii iarty elects Mr. 4'leveUnJ's suceer. The rejKrt of Commander McDow ell, of Illinois, aiinouiuvs that the ti. A. II. in that SUte has lost members by death within the last year. If thelioys in blue iu the other State arennswerin? the last roil can in uie tm proportion, the rank of t! 4irand Army are growing less so raj idly that the kickers against the pen io!l departmeut will soon lie out niploynieiit. A I5iKLV3f man wlio was "eon VK-ted' uf a burgularv he did not eon mil, and "pardoned" after he had serv ed nearly two years in Sing Sing, has Mied the State of Xew York for f 101,. damages. Of thia amount $iT, OKI is claimed for injury to reputation and mental and physical suffering while in prison ; the rest is his compu tation of the amount he lost in busi ness by this faW imprisonment, wit! Iiis attorneys' fee added. Since the Htate authorities admit tWt he was in nocent of the crime for which he was convicted, and his pardon was granted Iweauscof his innocence, they have a -crr interesting case on their hands to defend.

What Mould le thought of the business ea. giaeiry of a private citizen who, finding iimself largely in debt, still weut riving notes, thus increasing his indebtedness, instead of providing for the payment of tU old obligation And vet this; treetely tlie course thin Administration is pursuing. A KII.L before the Michigan Lejeislii. lure ha already passed the House, and will prol al ly lecome a la w, prohibit i ng "'treating." It is argued by the anti- trnliiig advocates that the man whw -rets urujLk by himself, and for the wile purpose f getting drunk, is compara tively am infrequent person, and that Jrunkenne U a gn-garious vice S'nitb treats I trow a aud Jones; then lirowM treats Jones and SmiU; ; then J one tnt-at rtiuith and Drown; aud L; this time llolmisou conies in ana is lu luded in tlie treat; thereafter Robin son treaU tlie crowd, aud the end thereof is a general drunk. This is a well known occurrence, with known results; Iwt the value of ttv law, like t'jat of all other laws, de trends upon its enforcement, and wlio f the treating and treated crowd will filiform upon hinw'lf or upon his jparty? The decision of the Kureoe Court f the United States knocking ut (he inmme tax, is received throughout the coutr'with very general satis faction. If the Court had not stran gled the measure, the coining Congress would certainly have done it to death. A favorite and oft-quoted axiom of old- tiuie iKiuocrats was, "all power not explicitly granted to the general gov ernment by tin Constitution, is re served to .th States." The modern DemocraU who framed aud passed the law, will search a long time liefore they find the express grant in the Coiir mtitution givingCongress the jiower to levy a direct income tax. The framers f the Cxmstitution thought tliat the .raising of revenue by direct taxation ehould be confined to States, counties iud inunicipaHties, and the right was reserved to them. Tlie Supreme Court stands by the Constitution; and that is all there i in iu decisior,. Tit Lti cf lit Pcpuliit Craw. inniocralie paper in large niiiiiLscr are greeting the sweeping a ay or the in come tax with approval. They are en deavoringto treat the tax as though it were the work of tlie Southern wing of the party and are anxiously Uiselahuing responsibility for it. This is convenient, but it is false. All these papers and the Democratic party as. a whole in letl entered with heart and soul into the Populist attack on property, corporHtions, sound money and eontra"ts. That campaign was all of one piece. In every Stale the Ik-nvx-ratie party struck hands ith a rabid, riotous attack on the very foundations of value and secur ity or property. Industry was attakel under cover of the tariff. ContracU were attaeked by the plea of free silver coinage. Investments were attacked in the corporations. Credit was attackol in the banks. When it snowed!" in November, 1G, a deadly chill struck home to every national interest. Manufacturers, cor porations, credit, contracts, debts al! sutrercd, and as the cap aud crown of the entire campaign tho income tax was passed. Tlie assault has failed. The country has repudiated the I lemocratie and Poj ulist party. Tlie tide is rising for sound money. Xoone is atta-king iiianufact urers just at present as tariff roblmrs, Thrt-e years in which next to no rail roads have leen built have convinced even the West that there Is a wonto thing than a "grasping railroad monopoly" and that is no rail mail at all. The na tional lianks are safe. Now the income tax is crushed. Hut it will not do to assert now that the income tax was the work or the South alone. It was not. The I lemocratie par ty as a whole supported it and next year the only chance of a fighting campaign for the Democratic party will be in the same Populist alliance by which it won in KG but by which it will le defeated in Wii. The Populist craze is over. J'liila. 7Vtv. A Costly Experiment. The experiment of reviving the income tax has lieen a costly one to the United States Treasury. t"P to date tlie cost of preparing for the enforcement of the law now declared unconstitutional by the supreme court aggregates alxmt li,m. All the printing donein preparing blank forms of returns is a-dead loss. There were apiKiinied 21 deputy collectors of internal revenue for the especial purjsise of handling this tax, all of whom will now le gradually dismisseiL At some of the larger offices a few sjecial deputies may I, krjit fcr a short time to assist in closing up the work of refunding the money already paid in.

Washisot.in, May 2S. A. M. Sei'retary of State Oresham died at 1:15 o'clock this morning. o death could lie more ipiiet, more calm, or more peaceful. For two hours preceding dissolution there had been no Indication either of a pulse or a heart beat. He lay during that time with his head resting on tho arms of his daughter, Mrs. Andrews, while his devoted wife sat by his side, his hands cIxsjmiI in hers his faie so turned that his hist conscious gazo should rest upon her. So the minutes dragged slowly on until the end came. He was conscious to the last. He suffered greatly during the pre ceding 4S hours after tho pneumonic symptoiis were complicated with his dis eases, and was only temporarily relieved by frequent hypodermic injections. Hut as the end approached his suffering dis appeared and he passed away as quietly as a tired child sinking to slumlier in the arms of its mother. Arrangements for the funeral will be made after Ultoti rcsh am, son of the deceased, shall arrive in Washington from Chicago. TUB LAST I lot KS. Last evening it was seen that SoTelary Cresham could not live lsyond a few hours. Though he had passed a some. what comparatively easy day up until yesterday afternoon, alsmt 5 o'clock such a sudden collapse overcame him that his physician became alarmed and as almost a last resort liegan to administer hypo dermic doses of whiskey. There, were present at the ltsl-ide of the prostrate man Mrs. lirebaiii, hU son-in-law, Mr. Andrews and Mrs. Andrews, his daugh ter. Information of Mr. tireslmni's dan gerous condition was not communicated to the President until some time after the collapse, as it was first thought that prompt application of proper remedies might lessen the indications of approach ing death. He had been ill for a little more than four weeks, the first trouble lieing renal fever, though pleurisy Uxk hold of him, and while it was thought that it was lie ing overcome, it still maintained such a hold lie-cause of his enfeeWed condition that it finally attacked his lungs, which made his death almost a certainty. At lilM this morning the announce ment was made that the Secretary could not live more than half an hour. For an hour the Secretary gave no indications of a pulse or heart beat. He was still con scions, nut had lost the uso of his voice. Mrs. tircshant was sitting by his side with his hands clasped in her's, while his daiigiitt r, Mrs. Andrews, held his head in her hands.

Tho resolution, was adopted, much to the relief of many of the truants; but not all, as it appears that a large iv.huIht of them held a caucus after adjournment, and each agreed to rise to a question of privilege next day.

A scene liclicvcd to lie w Illicit a para!!? 1 W.nenactel at Anderson, Ind., la-t weel A judge of the ciruit court, attended by the court stenographer, took down the statements of a dying woman under the influence of hypnotism. Should the judge accept the statements as trie, they will cut a great figure in a murder my stery. George Hires wits sentenced by Judge Ellison to thirteen years in tho penitentiary on conviction of the murder of William Fotist July 5th last. The principal witness against him wits Mrs. Maggie Bolton. After the trial she said that her testimony was false, and that she herself had done the deed. Dr. J. B. fallen, who claims to have hypnotic power, was granted permission to place tue woman 111 the hypnotic stale to . . 1 1 . . , .1 ascertaiu w hich of her statement was the oorrei't one. Judo Kllison, theofliciul stenographer, and Ir. Caileu went to the hospital w hero Mrs. Itolton is said to Ik; on her death bed from consumption, nnd in the presence of these witnesses In, ('alien soon had the woman in the hypnotic state. Mrs. Bolton spoke in a loud, clear voice, though heretofore, on account of Jher weakness, she was snuccly able f whis per. She said that the shot that killed 1 'oust was fired by Hires, and that her state ment that she had done the deed was extorted from her by Hires, w ho said the authorities suspected her son. She then shouldered the crime to shield her son. After she had lieen brought out of the cataleptic state she did not rememls r anything that she hail just told. Judge Kllison was greatly interested, but he declined to state what cilect it would have on the case. A motion for a new trial for Hires is pending. Duel oa Ctarch Steps. Vkksaii.lks, Ky., May "Ji.
