UNCHANGED AND UNCHANGEABLE.
The confidence of the Uemooratio
mahBco in Mr. Cleveland remains un
bliaken. He in the people's first and
only ohoioo. Day by day the feeling
throws stronger that he is tho best pos
sible) chance tho Democratio party hts
to oloot a president this year.
Upon this point tho Kansas City
Times, "which, next to tho St. Louis
Republic, is tho ablest exponent of
Western Dotnooraoy, and equally as
ardent an -advocate of Mr. Cleveland,
expresses tho following incontroverti
ble truths:
Says tho Times: "In tho midst of
all tho differences over legislative
plans in Washington, the movemonis
for controlling conventions in New
Vork and the spooulntions.upon pres
idential possibilities, tho feeling of
tho pcoplo toward Clovoland remains
unchanged and apparently unchange
able. "Right along wo aro taught tho
lessou that tho moral quality of man
hood is the most valid belonging of
tho rnco. Truth, oourago and fidelity
to trust aro what pcoplo are satisfied
to rost upon, and thoy will, for it,
pass by everything elso. A man who
is known to possess that oharaotor
will bo trusted by people who theoreti
cally disagree with his opininns soon
er than a man who is theoretically
in harmony, but slippory in oharacter.
"iMott porsons have secret doubts
about abstract propositions. All know
what an unbroakably honest man is, and
when ho is found his hold upon those
who aro within his oirole is tho most
substantial inoident of sooial lifo in
any civilization. In a business oom
munily ho is rated I igbcr than a gon
iusor n prince, and among tho farmers
ho is tho polar star of every onward
movemont To convict him of minor
faults only brightens tho greater qual
ity. To bo wrong now and then with
evidont honesty draws men olosor to
him.
"So Gloreland regains his following,
and is tho foruo whioh stands before
tho politics of both parties, invulnora
bio, indissoluble nnd immovable."
"Oh, that mine onomy would
write a abook." said Col. Sol
omon several hundred years
ago. Letter writting, however,
will accomplish tho sauiu onds. Vide

St. Louis, Feb. 12. A Smith & Wes
son revolver, n romantic young man a
somewhat smaller calibre, and a hand
some youns,' lady, with a big policemai
in tho background, wore tho dramati.
persona of a thrilling scene at 101 Soutl
Fifteenth street.
The romnntic young man was Join
McCuo, a railroad employe residing iv
1111 Chestnut street. Tho woman ii
tho case was Miss Winnie Ryan, and tin
policeman was Officer Quigley. It np
pears from the story of Oflicor Quiglej
that Mr. Medic, being enamored of tin
charms of Miss Ryan, and having dis
covered to his sorrow that tho course oi
truo love never did run smooth, pur
chimed the itbovo mentioned revolver
and with it invaded tho domicile of hit
lady love.
lie did not attempt to shoo.
Miss Ryan with it. Ho had i
better scheme than that. II
thrust tho weapon into Miss Ryan'i
hands, dropped down on one knee (just
liko they do on the stage) nnd vowec
with great fervor, and with his hand or
his heart, that Miss Ryan must eithei
marry him or fire a leaden bullet through
his manly bosom, as ho could not hvt
without her. Mis-s Ryan, instead of ac
cepting either alternative, screamed
nnd, dropping tho weapon, ran out intt
tho stieet and almost into the arms ol
Officer Quigloy. Sho let fall a few in
cohorent words about a man and gun in
side, and the officer marched in, collarec
tho romantic young man and tho gun
nnd escorted them to tho Four Courts
A charge of breach of tho peace was
placed against young McCuo in the First
district police court, but Miss Ryan did
not appear to psoiecuto, and tho cast
was dismissed. McCue is said to bo still
mourning over tho failure of his in
genious scheme to force tho young lad
to capitulate.
