ABOUT SECOND TERMS.
on l|im in his
President and
as a Demo-
Why Mr. Cleveland Could and Would Not
Kef ase a Renominate on.
Mr. Cleveland does not believe in
«econd terms. He does believe, how-
ever, in unhesitating submission to the
constitutional wilt of the majority after
it has been* declared in forms pre-
scribidla the copititgtiari ©r'mxdor it
and not opposing it This latter belief
he holds in coiftmon with all Demo-
crats. Few Demócrata are ready to
adopt his views against second terms.
They reason that if Washington,'Jef-
ferson, Madison- and Jackson served
second terms. Mr. Cleveland, in view
of such precedent, can afford to sacri-
fice his private ¿pinion to the constitu-
tional will of the majority.
There is no issüé involved. Before
ther^oan be an issue it must be created
by discussion, and the people have not
been able to see that their National in-
terests would be furthered or their pri-
vate rights made more secure by re-
stricting Presidents to one term in
office. Perhaps if an issue were made
and fully discussed, the people in "a de-
cade or so might come to hold the same
opinion the President holds now. If
they «rtid, they would cause to. be in-
troduced a constitutional amendment,
which, submitted to the Legislatures
and adopted, would declare in a con-
stitutional form the constitutional
will. Until they have done so Mr.
Cleveland's opinion is a private
opinio^, not binding,
public d utaos as
not «binding him
crat against the action of his party in
convéiftion. If such a constitutional
amendment were proposed for adop-
tion there would be ample room for
argument against it. While it would
o ¿3
be in accord with the Jacksonian rule
of rotation in office, it would be ail'
extreme application of it An honest,
intelligent President is worth much
more to the people at the beginning of
his second term than of his lirst. He
has had four years of education, andas
the people have paid for this education
at the rate of $50,000 a year, they
have a right to the benefit of it, if they
want- it. If Mr. Cleveland will look
back over the four years of his term he
will be able to see that he has learned
no little since he took the oath of office.
He was a good President in 1885, but
he was a better one in 1888, and he will
be still better in 1890. Knowing more
now than he did in 1884, he ouiiht to
be able to see that lie was mistaken
in believing that the people are not to
be trusted in the matter of second
terms. It is true he did not take this
view of it exactly. He feared that if a
precedent were not made against sec-
ond terms ambitious men in office
might use the putflic patronage to de-
feat the popular will; but the time has
not come when this can be done. The
President can not even control a ^Na-
tional convention of his own party
against the will of his party majority.
Mr. Arthur, who was as good a politi-
cian as ever went from New York to
Washington, tried it with all t'lie power
of the patronage, and made a signal
failure. It is safe yet to trust the
American people. When a people be-
comes untrustworthy, precedent.-—
even precedents established in the con-
stitution—become valueless. We have
seen recently how little constitutional
restrictions in this matter availed in
Mexico.
Mr. Cleveland is not a candidate for
renomination, but when the St. Louis
convention renominates him he will
have no escape from b^ing his party
candidate for re-election.—St. Louis

NORTH AND SOUTH.
An Organization tiuting tlie Blue and
Gray in Harmony.
A new thing in organizations of vet-
erans of the war is the Independent
Army and Navy Veterans1 Association.
The object of this association is " To
maintain a perfect union among ita
inembere, to establish harmony and
discipline, to insure tranquility, to
promote the object of reconciliation
between the blue and the gray veter-
ans of 1861-5. to maintain true allegi-
ance to the United States Government
and unswerving respect for and fidel-
itv to the constitution and laws of the
land and to encourage the spread of
universal liberty, equal rights ai^d
justice to all men.11
The representative of this associa-
tion in this city is Pliil Sheridan Post,
No. 1. Before adopting this name a
letter was sent to the General stating
, O
the object of the association and ask-
ing permission to use his name. The
General, in his reply granting the re-
quest, stated that he fully approved
the objects of the new organization.
The post was accordingly formed, and
adopted rul^s and regulations. Here
are two of them.
44 Comrades should enjoy themselves
with innocent mirth, treating one an-
other according to their ability, but
avoiding all excesses or forcing any
comrade to eat or drink bevond his
V
inclinations, or hindering him from
going \vhen occasion calls Iiim, or do«
ing or saying any thing oftensiye, or
that- may forbid, or any free and easy
Conversation, for that would blast our
harmony and defeat our laudable
purposes: therefore, no private inter-
ests may be brought within our doors,
tar less any quarrels about religion or
nations, we being only brothers and
comrades of the universal religion
above mentioned. Kindreds we are
also of .all nations, tongues and lan-
guages, and we are resolved against all
politics as what never yet conduced to
the welfare of any order nor ever will.n
44 Comrades entering our post as
members must lay aside all hatred and
malice in regard to the past issues; yes,
every thing that may incite our blue
and gray veterans to disharmony; we
must light prejudice in all its forms;
in fact, every thing that may hinde
the forwarding of the pure and sir
cere spirit of our institution. Friend-
ship shall guide us, loyalty be our ar-
mor and vigilance our sword to make
way for reconciliation between our
brothers North and South, East and
West."
A bureau of relief and employment
is also a feature of the organization,
which differs but little from the G. A.
R., except in admitting to membership
both Union and Confederate soldiers,
and a few 44patriotic, honorary citi-
zens. n—N. Y. Lett-er.
TRIUMPHANT DEMOCRACY.
COMMENT AND CRITICISM.
The Model Demagogue.
John Sherman is the model dcnia
go gue of the United States, and the
popular understanding of his character
is a tribute to American intelligence.
About- a year ago he made a trip
through the Southern States in the in-
terest of his Presidential ambition.
His NitlshviUe speech created a sensa-
tion because of the unusual sentiments
lie expressed. He advocated an era of
peace, he had words of praise for the
heroes of the Confederacy, and paid
tribute to the motives that inspired
the Southerners to secede. A ínunth
later he appeared at Springfield III.,
and feeling that the do^th of Logan
gave him an opportunity to pre-empt
Logan's following by adopting Logan's,
sentiments, he gave forth a sweeping
denunciation oi.tiie.sentiments he had
espoused a few Weeks before. This Is
but a solitary example oí John Sher-
man's ability to swap positions when
it suits his purpose. He is every thing
at ail times and backs and fills in order
to catch the ebb and flow of the tide of
public sentiment—Si. Louis Repub-

A Summary of General John C. Black's
Speech at the Iroqoois Club Banquet
at Chicago—An Eloquent Exposition of
Democratic principles and Democratic
Achievements.
Chicago. April 24.—Last night the Iro-
quois CJub, the most influential Demo-
crat c organization of the West, and a
number of invited guests, meó iri the ban-
quet hall of the Pa-mer House to celebrate
Stephen A. Douglas' anniversary and to
discusa appropriate topics of the day.
The remarks made by Pension Commis-
sioner John C. Black on 44 Triumphant De-
mocracy were received with unbounded
enthusiasm, as they deserved to be. After
eloquently sketching the misrule of the
Republican party for a quarter of a cen-
tury, the General said:
u At the call of the people for relief atóse
Democracy, at last triumphant, and ad-
dressed itself to the restoration of power to
the people. No greater task was ever laid
on a human organization. Every avenue
to asccfidancy was obstructed by trickery,
by the fears of timorous allies, and the su!-
len inaction of its defeated opponents. All
the machinery of Government was in hosr
tile hands; the plainest outlines of public
affairs had to be studied and mastered by
the men of the Democracy. Unused to the
situation into which they were suddenly
called, thev bore into the labvrinth of ofíi-
ciaiism i¿n one hand the lamp of the explorer
and in the other the scourge of the reform-
er.
"About to be summoned again to the bar
of public opinion, a Triumphant Democracy
presents the record of its brief term of re-
newed office, and challenges your calm re-
view of its accomplishments.
4Tt has restored many million aeras of
fchepublio land to the use of the common
people; it ha3 ireopened the tra'l of the
emigrant and made the American pioneer
welcome to his own; it has wrested from
the hand of giant corporations and unhal-
lowed 'combines' the plunder which they
had accumulated under the pretended
processes of law; it has torn their illegal
privileges from private syndicates, and is
dragging the giant robbers to the bar of
justice. It has lessened by many millions
the annual expenditure of the cost of Gov-
ernment. It has shorn away a myriad of
uceless offices, and is at this very day in the
National capitol engaged in the great task
of cutting down excessive taxation, and of
leaving the surplus wealth of the country
at home with the plain people of the land.
"The Triumphant Democracy has shoAvn
that it is competent to administer the
affairs of the people in their interests; it
has dissipated the prejudices which ob-
scured the judgement and the fears wi ich
terr.fied the people; it has demonstrated
that the American citizen, from what sec-
tion soever of the country he may come, is
able and fitted to participate in his own
government-. It has banished the gigantic
phantoms which arose in the mirage of
war, and in place of hate, revenge and
fury, has substituted a reign of peace, of
common interest, and of fraternal rrg ;r<J.
It has destroyed the dominance of
section and brought the Ameri-
can people to the consideration of
common interests; it points them to the
common po-sible achievements and glories
of the futura* It has turned absolutely
from the things that were sorrowful and
blood-stained, and has advanced to thos3
where the heart and brain of the whol*
American people may fiád the highest
fruitage of renewed aitection and of ma-
turing judgment Away from the lied Sea,
where our beloved perished, and the wilder-
ness where God's wrath smote us, it leads
to a shore of a nation's Jordan, and points
to a land of promise, where our children
Bliall build the temple of concord, and our
sons eat the bre?.d of peace.
u The Democracy has held sacred and has
far advanced the chums of the pensioner as
the common debt of the common people to
be sacredly, honestly and munificently
paid. Never since the tender hand of peace
first bound up the wounds of rutrged war;
never since the awful fruit of battle cum-
bered the red earth; never since men "died
and women wept, and children sorrowed,
has greater munificence or more eager
willingness been manifest thin has been
shown to the pensioners by the Triumphant
Democracy—which, God willing, shall for
many years pour the Nation's reviving
streams by the stricken and desolate.
"From llie general sum of public tax-
ation it has met and is meeting every law-
ful demand made bv the war, and holds se-
cure every substantial fruit of victory. It
has driven from place and power thou-
sands Qf the unworthy, the corrupt, the ex-

Senator Voorliees Makes an Earnest Plea
for Tariff Revision and Raises His Voice
♦ 1
In Defense of MeClellan and Hancock-
Speeches in the House in Advocacy of
the Mills Bill.
Washington, April 26.—Senator Voorhees
(Ind.) yesterday delivered an eloquent and
passionate address, beginning with a discus-
sion of the Mills Tar-
iff hill. He said the
issues which the two
great parties would
present to the Amer-
ican people next No-
vember were plainly
laid down. On the prin-
ciple proclaimed by
Jefferson that error
was not to be feared
so long as truth was
left free to control it,
the pernicious ideas
and dangerous policy
maintained by the
Repu blican party
might be looked upon
without appreciation, senator voorhees.
An extensive discussion of the tar.ff in the
Senate and House left no doubt as to the atti-
tude of the Republican party on that question,
and it had at last been forced to throw awa$
masks and false-faces, and to admit that taxa-
tion.was not to stop at the revenue line of the
Government, but to be turned loose with-
out limit and without shame on „ the
labor of the people for the purpose
of enriching a favored few—a syndi-
cate of devouring,* insatiate monopolists. The
Republican party leaders were going before the
people opposing everv reduction of taxes ex-
cept those paid by tonacco and alcoholic spir-
its. He did not intend that that issue should
♦be dodged in the coming campaign, at least in
Indiana. The position of the Republican party
might be described thus:
" I. Taxation not to be limited by the ex-
penses of the Government, but to be left un-
confined with a view to the protection of manu-
facturing monopolists.
"2. All the protection given and all its profits
to enure to the further enrichment of capital-
its, but not a dollar of it to laboring men and
women.
"3. That if any reduction of taxes was to
take place it must be on liquor and tobacco,
and not on the necessaries of life."
Referring to the charges that the Democrats
in Congress have been hostile to Union soldiers
in the matter of pensions, he insisted that the
Democrats had been liberal toward them in
the extremest sense, and gave figures to show
the increased number of pensions allowed
under the present administration. He de-
fended the President's record in reference
to pension bills and others showing his
attitude toward the Union soldier. The at-
tempt to place the Democratic party in an at-
titude of unfriendliness toward the soldier was
without justificaron and must be without suc-
cess. It was only surpassed in mendacity by
the attempts to stigmatize the party as dis-
loyal. Referring to the criticisms recently
made in the Senate by Senator Ingails (Kan.)
upon Generals MeClellan and Hancock, Sena-
ator Voorhees reviewed the services of the two
Generals during the war, and dwelt upon what
he alleged was the injustice with which Me-
Clellan was treated because he was a Democrat.
Senator Voorhees declared that at Antietam
MeClellan saved the Union. Ho spoke of Gen-
eral Pope as 44 vapid" and incompetent, and
denominated those who now assail the mem-
ories and records of MeClellan and Hancock as
" clamorous kites and other ignoble scavenger
birds."
Senator Voorhees then reviewed the history
of reconstruction, and denounced the Repub-
lican administration of Southern State govern-
ments. He justified the South for its refusal
to affiliate with the Republican party, saying
as well might the frontier settlements be
expected to welcome another invasion of
tomahawk and scalping-knives. He could see
nothing to wonder at in the 75,000 Democratic
majority given in Louisiana but a few days
ago. These people were alarmed at the possi-
bility of a return to power of the party and the
men who had robbed them and left them over-
burdened with debt. His only wonder was that
the vote was not unanimous. The present pros-
perous condition of the South answered the
pártisan charges against that section. Senator
Voorhees closed with the prediction that the
verdict of the people next November would be
that there had been honest, capable govern-
ment for the last four years and that it should
be continued.
tariff tai/k in the house.
The tariff reform speech delivered by Mr.
Bynuin (Ind.) was the feature of yesterday's
proceedings in the House. Referring to the
surplus, he said the withdrawal of so large a
sum of money from the channels of trade for
any long period of time would result in a con-
traction of the * currency which would
bankrupt and ruin our most enterprising
business men. The time had passed
when the House could refuse to consider a
measure for the reduction of taxation. The
bill presented d;d not meet with his unqualified
approval. He believed that duties on imports
should be levied and collected at all times,
to meet the current ordinary expenses of
the Government, and that extraordinary
expenses should be met by internal
taxes. He would maintain the present in-
ternal revenue system of taxation until
the last obligation of the war was discharged;
but he was willing to come to the consideration
of the bill in a spirit of concession and compro-
mise, and join in the construction of a measure
which yielded something to the productions of
every locality. He advocated a reduction of du-
ties on materials which the laborers of the coun-
try worked and such reductions as would give
larger markets in which manufacturers could
sell their products. He admitted that wages
had increased under the protective tariff, but
he denied that this was on account oi
the tariff, because the same increase
had taken place in Great Britain undei
free trade. The great trouble with the
country was the want of a market.
Give American labor a chance to com-
pete wfth foreign labor, and it could take
care of itself; it needed no other protection.
Speaking of the wool industry, he said that
under the high protection on wool the price
had steadily fallen. He did not assert
that the 'taril? was the sole cahse of the
decline in the price, but contended
that it was an important factor. The
people of the United States consumed
600,000,000 pounds of Wool a year which cost
them 1810,000,0Q(^ more than one-half of which
had= to he purchased abroad because the high
tariff had broken down aU our woolen indus-
tries. During the past ten years the United
States, had Imported 1162,000,doe of cotton
goods more than it had exported. American
labor had been* robbed of the privilege of
making that §163,000,000 of cotton goods. Dur-
ing the samé period the imports of woolen
goods had exceeded the exports by $350.000,000.
The Ate eric an workmen had been robbed of the
labor that was contained fn the 9350,000,000 oí
woolen goods, and yet gentlemen on the othex
side talked about protecting American labor.
At the evening session Mr. Shaw (Midi) made
a speech Ih support of the Mills bilL He ar-
gued that Congress had not the power to levy
and collect taxes for any other purpose bul
that of revenue. He especially advocated the
clause of the bill which places tin plate on the
free list, urging that the continuation of the
tariff apon that article unnecessarily enhanoed
the priee Of canned goods. Mr. QUss (Tenn.j
also spoke in support of the bill.

Commencement oi the Trials at Col a mhos
Kan.—Jonathan BlalocK*s Evidence.
Columbus, Kan., April 27.—Dan Fry and
Grant Alley, members of the Fry-Blalock-
Alley gang, were placed on trial yester-
day, when their counsel entered a plea of
burglary in the second degree and they
were remanded for sentence.
Fred Fry and Alexander Fry, upon bein£
brought before the court entered a plea of
not guilty, and a jury was impaneled for
the trial of Fred Fry, the case of Alex-
ander Fry being continued to auother day
of the term.
The cases of Jonathan and William Bla-
lock, for the murder of David Gordon, 'will
be the last reached, as their testimony Will
be necessary to establish the guilt of Fred
and Alexander Fry and their father and
mother, and Andy and Helen Fry.
When Jonathan Blalock was introduced
on tho part of the State in the ci^se of Fred
Fry the most eager interest was manifest
by the crowd anxious to see the famous
leader of the gang also to hear if he would
confirm his confession made at the coroner's
inquest. He stated on the night of the
robbery at Crestline the gáng, including
Fred Fry, met on the railroad without auy
fixed purpose of where they were going;
that their purpose was to go to Snuthfield
and rob the post-office and store, but, for
some cause concluded to stop at Crestline.
They broke a hand car loose at the Colum-
bus section house and rode over to Crest-
line on it, attempted to brcai¿ into
the store, but were fired upon, then
broke into the depot and got a box
of garden seeds and some apples. t He sáid
their intention before starting was to mako
a haul of some kiud. That Fred Fry did
not often go with the gang. He thinks
this was the only time he ever went with
them. Fred aid not break into the depot,
but stood on guard. The seeds were loaded
on the hand car and taken to Columbus,
and given to the Fry boys, who took theut
home.

and Jackson streets last eveniug. Queer
enough, no oue was killed, although two
or three may bo fatally injured. Two
workmen were drilling a hole across the
street from the basement to mftke a con-
duit for electric light wires and accident-
ally punctured a gas mam. They lit a
caudle to see what was the matter with
the drill, and the next instant they and
seventy odd clerks and customers, in tho
clothing store overhead, the massive plato
glass front and great piles of ready made
clothing were mixed up in an almost inex-
tricable mass with broken timbers and
falling plaster, while people for blocks
around thought an earthquake had oc-
curred, and rushed to the scfcne. The fire
was quickly extinguished by the depart-
ment. The workmen in the basement
were found to be very badly injured and
ihree or four clerks in the store above
were injured internally. One of them,
George Dunlop, when the explosion oc-
curred, was standing on a hot air register
and was thrown fully fifty fset, landiug
on a pile of goods. His back is badly in-
jured.
