______ :
A President Without A Party.
A Washington correspondent of a
leading daily paper told quite a pathet
ic story, a few days ago. about Pre>i
_ dent Cleveland's sense of political isola- j
tion. This chronicler represented him :
a* feeling deeply hurt and chagrined by j
the fact that he approaches the end of
his second term without substantial j
support in either house of < ongrese
and with few influential leaders in the
country at large. Although he has
generally appeared indifferent to pop
ular criticism, he is now said to feel
keenly the common public expression
of satisfaction at the near approach of
his retirement to private life. Still the
official head of a great Nation, he finds
himself nnvisited. neglected and snub
bed bj- the leaders of the party that
twice made him President and an ob
ject of indifference to all. 'A anity of
vanities, saith the Preacher: all is vani
ty," and the President of the United
States momfully echoes the saying of
the preacher.
It is possible that this reportorial
picture of the President s state of mind
may be overdrawn; but certainly there
are abundant political reasons for l>e
lieving it to be in the main accurate
Mr. Cleveland is to-day a President
without a party. His nominations of
public officers-many of them for im
portant posts—are hung up in the Sen
ate by the scort?, and no Democrat cares
tri move their consideration. Bill* t"
whith he has objected are returned to
« the House and quietly passed over his
veto almost as a matter of course and
without public comment.
men declare openly that no member of
either house whe has any sense or self
respect can afford to call on the Presi
dent. It is doubtful if Andrew John
son or John Tyler at the close of their
respective terms had fewer friends than
has Orover Cleveland to-day. _
Both Tyler and Johnson were politi
cal accidents, elevated to the Presi
dency by the unexpected death of the
men chosen by the |>eople. Mr. _ Cleve
land has been twice the deliberate
choice of a great party, and he has had
some reason to regard himself as the
only possible choice of that party.
Both Tyler and Johnson were denounc
ed as traitors to their party, and Mr
* Cleveland now shares- their fate. He
is charged with driving from him the
chief men of his party*. He is taunted
with a lack of political tact, to say
nothing of statesmanship. It is alleged
that he has divided the party on both
the tariff and the financial issues. There
is an element of truth in these charges,
but thev are not true clear through.
Mr. Cleveland's party has indeed
been divided on both the issues named;
but that division was more the fault of
the party than of its President. Mr
Cleveland w»s no doubt sincere in his
demand for a tariff for revenue only,
but his party was not sincere. It car
ried the election of 1892 oh that issue,
but when it came into full possession of
the Government in 1893 it did not live
up to its proclamation. Its Tariff bill
as it passed the House was not a pure
revenue measure, and before the Demo
cratic Senators got through with it it
became a bill of sale to the trusts an
act of perfidy and dishonor, as Mr.
Cleveland aptly descril»ed it. Recog
nizing as he did the nature of that bill.
Mr. Cleveland should have vetoed it.
He would have done a good thing for
the country and for his party if he had
done so. and his failure to do that was
one of the noteable blunders of his ad
ministration. That blunder led to the
Supreme Court decision knocking out
the income tax. the great loss of reve
nue the consequent increase of the
debt and finally the demand for the
coinage of cheap silver dollars.
On the financial issue Mr. Cleveland
has been sonnd and consistent. He
was no doubt partly to blame for the
prominence of that issue; but when it
became prominent he met it manfully
and stood faithfullv by the sound cur
rency aoctimes of Jefferson. Jackson
and Benton. Our readers will recall
the jaunty indifference and recklessness
with which the Democratic organiza
tion in this State turned its coat, ate
its own words and repudiated its own
record last summer. It is sheer impu
dence for the men who took part in
that grotesque political somersault
barely six months ago to charge Mr
Cleveland with the division of the
party on the financial issue. They are
the men who by their own cowardice
and faithlessness split their party in the
last campaign. And at the same time
they convinced the country of the
party's fatal lack of character of com
mon honesty and of political sens*;.
It is true enough that Mr. Cleveland
is to-day a President without a party.
That fact is due partly to his lack of
political tact, and partly to his person
al temperament, but largely to the
fickleness and faithlessness of the party
that stuck by him while he had offices
to distribute and deserted both its Pres
ident and its doctrines when the folly
of its own lawmakers had made the
hard times harder by the passage of a
Tariff bill that well merited Mr. Cleve
land's stinging denunciation. The ex
piring Administration has lieen in the
main a failure. But the disgnsted and
discredited leaders of the free silver
Democracy cannot make him the scape
goat of a party whose recklessness and
political faithlessness have been so re
cently demonstrated before the eyes of
all the people.-'-Wellsboro Agitator.
GAME is getting so scarce in this
State that the Game Commissioner has
decided to overhaul the laws in an
effort to secure the preservation of what
is left. Some of the more insatiate
sportsmen may resent a move which is
really in their interest; but, irrespect
ive of their wishes, regard for the gen
eral welfare is the one consideration
which ought to prevail.

A new Senatorial apportionment
bill has been prepared, which makes a
district (the 4<jthi of Butler county and
the northern part of Allegheny county.
It will be presented to the apportion
ment committee next week, but its de
feat is predicted.
Governor Hastings on Tuesday signed
the joint resolution authorizing him to
solicit plans for the proposed new Capi
tol building. He will at once arrange
to facilitate the work of bnilding bv
getting plans. A celebrated New York
architect was expected that afternoon
for a conference with the Governor.
Next Monday night on the reassembling
of the Legislature the Governor will
send in a communication on the condi
tion of the revenues of the Common
wealth and his views on the matter of
money for the building of a new Capi
tol.

The School Appropriaiion
The biennial appropriation of fIO.OOn.
000 toward the support of the public ;
schools has become so mnch a part of ,
the necessary expense of the State, that
any talk of reduc ing it is met with most
emphatic protests. It is commonly be
lieved that this large appropriation to
the schools was made solely for the bet
temient of the schools. Thi* is not
stictly true. The preamble to the act
increasing the school appropriation to .
ikIO.OOO.OOOfor two years recited that it j
was for the purpose of 'reducinir local
taxation. " Much complaint had been I
1 made on the part of the people because :
of excessive local taxation, and a bill
was brought forward, known as the :
(irange Tax Bill, to compel corporations j
to pay local taxes. To increase corpor
ation tax to the extent demanded,
would, in the opinion of the most enii- '
nent business men and financiers of the
State, drive many great manufacturing
interests from ouj borders, cripple
others nnd keep out enterprises calculat
ed to develop our resources and enrich
the Commonwealth. A considerable
number of well meaning persons favored
the plan of collecting tax.* from corpo
rations by the present methods, and
paying it in to the various county treas
uries according to population. This is
virtually done by applying it to theex
penses of the public schools. There are
yet many who insist upon having the
corporation tax distributed among the
counties but if this were done, the
State would have no funds to appro
priate for the support of the schools.
It is easy to make appropriations when
you have the money. The difficulty is
in getting the funds. -Punxsntawney

POLITICAL
Congressman Phillips is quoted at
Washington as saying: "lam a candi
date for re-election from the Twenty
fifth district. I expect to be returned
without serious opposition, and the
Pittsburgh Leader of last Sunday told
of the "untold bitterness' that exists
in the breasts of the Wallace faction
in Lawrence County because Phillips
made ' Harry Hall" of Mercer Co. Sec
retary of the Labor Committee, of
which he (Phillips) is chairman, and
says; "As the case stands at present
Mr. Phillips will have to put up a fight
against the controlling powers in Law
rence county to get the delegates to the
congressional conference. Although he
is personally popular, the fact that he
has recognized so ardent and bitter a
combiner as Col. Henry Hall, has hurt
Congressman Phillips with many of his
friends, who are angry over the selec
tion of a man who is not a resident of
the Twenty fifth district to fill a $3,000
per year position bv its representative
in congress. Col. Hall is now a resi
dent of the Twentieth ward, Pittsburg
and has served as a state delegate from
Allegheny county within a year.
The Pittsburg Legal War.
Two informations, charging Richard
R. Quay with criminal libel, were made
last Friday before Alderman J. \. Mc-
Masters. Shortly after 5 o'clock Sena
tors C. L. Magee and William Flinn. in
company with Attorney J. S. Ferguson,
went to the office of the alderman,
where Senators Magee and Flinn each
swore to an information. Warrants
were not issued, as Thomas M. Marshall
counsel for Mr. Quay, in anticipation of
the suits, had arranged with the alder
man that he should l>c notified when
the charges were made, and he would
go bail for his client.
The informations against Richard R
Quay set forth that the liltel 1 rinted by
the "'Commercial Gazette" on March 9.

his name appears instead of Senator
Flinn wherever the latter occurs;
