CLEVELAND. t By the "Washington Correspondent of Chi . - caso TimeHerald There must be something to President Cleveland beside the glamor of his great office. Without a party ioiiowing, witn out popularity, he nevertheless appears able ta make things move pretty much as he'likes. I have noticed this pecul iar fact. The men who view him from a little distance do not like him, but al most invariably the men who get ' near to him, who gain his confidence and friendship, become his devoted admir ers and followers. It has" been so with all the men he has had in his cabinet, with all who have been brought into in timate relations with him. If there is a single exception to this rule, I do not know it Mr. Cleveland is not brilliant and ' he ; is not "magnetic," as Mr. Elaine wa3. He is as simple and 8tragihtfdrward as an old reliable cart horse. .. By what means he uncon sciously binds men to him appears to ba a mystery. 2s o one is able to .explain it.-: I asked several of his cabinet min isters, if they could discern the secrect, and they confessed they- could not, though all admitted the fact. In cer tain circles this Cleveland idolatry is termed a sort -of fetichism, -and Mr. Cleveland : himself is called, a "sacred white Elephant," but whether this is fair or not, the fact remains as I have given it, and it is a fact which has had a tremendous influence upon the histo ry of the United States. In the cabinet Mr. Cleveland shows his peculiar character "in a striking fashion. They tell me he is in van ably in a good humor. When the ministers assemble he usually has a joke or cheery word for them all."- After business hap been taken up he is inclined to be rather-serious. He is always in earnest. He encourages the cabinet men to offer their opinions freely. One of the newer ministers told me that when he first sat at the council he felt like keeping still. He was too modest to join in the dis cussions. But "the first thing he knew the President was asking him questions and drawing him out. Mr. Cleveland likes frankness and plain speaking, and is not averse to the expressson of opin ions contrary to those entertained by himself. He is suspicous of the man who invariably agrees with him. He invites argument, but' in nine cases out of ten, I am told acts on his own belief, uninfluenced by the discussion.', "He is patient, good humored, easy to get along with, and treats us all ashis per sonal friend," said a. member, of the cabinet,, "but he holds a tight rein, too. We always know who is master." At the same time, Mr. Cleveland s weakness is as a leader of men. This seems a contradiction: but is not. He does not know how to widen his circle. The very small number of individuals who get near him are devoted to his in terests. The greater circles outside ap pear to be drawing farther from him all the time. As a party leader Mr. Cleve land has been a failure lecause he has ho tact.. 'He has made enemies instead of friends of aS- but this little inner cir cle. Not at any time during this term has he had a party behind him. If he had started in three years ago to be conciliatory, tactful, yielding, persua sive, he' could have rallied his party about' him. The leaders were eager to meet him half way. The men who had opposed his nomination were willing to capitulate on any honorable terms. Mr. Cleveland had only to say the word, and they would have gathered about him a substantially united Democracy, but he did not appear to care whether they did or not. He made no effort to lead them but tried to drive them. He beat them with the Sherman law repeal pudgel, hut they turned the tables on him with the tariff. To-day, as a leader., of thought and not of men, Mr. Cleveland is showing his tremendous power. He has almost as with a magic wand rallied the coun try around himself on the Monroe doc trine issue. Strengthened and embold ened, he starts out once, more to drive the Republicans into compliance with his will,-' threatening refusal with the penalty oi popular " execration. The Republicans, are afraid he may succeed. After he shall "have finished with the Republicans, many think he will drive his own party into nominating him for re-election, and not a few Democrats are fearful thai he is gomg to succeed in this' also. At any rate, it is Mr. Gleveland who la having the fun this winter, and the various Republican, Democratic and Populistic gentlemen of Congress. They ; are all wondering where "the old .man" is going to break loose next. The Ideal Panacea. - James L. Francis, Alderman, Chicago, says : "I regard Dr. King's New Dis covery as an Ideal Panacea for Coughs, Golds andjLnng Complaints, haying used it in my family for the last five years, to the exclusion of physician's prescriptions or other praparations." Rev. John Bnrgus, Keekuk, Iowa, writes : "I kave been a minister of the Methodist Episcopal church for 50 years or more, and have never Jonhd anything so beneficial, or that gayo rao euc speedy relief as Dr. KingsNew Diseoy. ery."

Review of Reviews. " , - , These are piping times of peace only relatively speaking. Years gone by have witnessed more bloodshed per cap ita. : In spite of that "great gift of the nineteenth century," arbitration, there are BtiU civilized nations, Powers, they are'termed, whose rights are too incon testable to be intrusted to '.'boards" and "commissions;""" and also scattered about through the -continents, ' and bunched upon the islands of the seas, there are people who do not know any better than to resist when their home land is encroached upon by-foreigners. Perhaps, however, the "ultimatum,", now in high favor, represents the tran sition between the tribunal of war and courts of arbitration, and the end of the century . may after all .. see. this : new method of settling difficulties, interna tional and internecine, securely adopted bythe Powers, and the exercise of a more Christian spirit "on their part to ward weak and defenseless nations. - As for the . year just' closed, we, the inhabitants of the earth, were yet far from being a peaceful people. Follow ing is a partial summary of the world's conflicts for 1895, as presented from month to month in our "Records of Current Events:" : At the beginning of, the year Japan was engaged id war with China, and The most desperate fighting was at Ne4 nosunties were continued until spring. Chang in March, when the Chinese lost more than 1,800 killed, 600 prison ers, and a quantity of arms and ammu nition; the -Japanese loss was something over 200 killed and wounded. Early in January a party of Hawaiian royalists rebelled against the govern ment. The uprising was put' down with a lDss of ten men killed, and 150 prisoners. The French became involved in a struggle with the Hovas of Madagascar, which terminated only in September last, in the taking of the capital of tfie country, arid the submission of the natives to French rule. Italy has been constantly engaged in fight8wilh the Abyssinians since the beginning of the year, . Very recently 7U0 Italian soldiers were surrounded by thousands of native troops, and utterly annihilated. J - - In August last news was received of a horrible massacre of Christians in China. Some reparation for these atrocities was made in the execijtiou of the responsible Chinee e officials.. The killing of Armenians - by Turks and Kurds, which was begun in 1894, has been continued intermittently down to the present time. . In October last renewed butcheries of an even more horrible nature were reported, and in November -the Harpoot missions, sus tained by the American board, were burned, and the missionaries compelled to flee for their lives. ' Incidentally the Turks had several! serious conflicts during the summer: with rebels on the Macedonian frontier. Great Britain was compelled to send, warships in June to Jeddah, the sea port of Mecca, to protect the lives and property of foreigners, ' the British Vice-Consul having been shot dead in an attack by Bedouins. in the United States, the violence of the year was reported in January vfrom the usually peaceful city of Brooklyn. where a strike of the street carcondac- tore and motonnen tied upnearly, all the lines of electric surface road, and led to the calling out of ;7,000 of the State Militia, and the yfinooting of sev eral rioters. . The killing of ahnmher of Italians in Colorado, in March, led to the calling out of the rnilitia. and at one time threatened ari international disbute. . 'About the same time there were serious riots in New Orleans, in which the white and negro handlers took part, several being killed and many others wounded. midsummer the regular army was called on to put down an Indian out break in Wyoming, which originated in disputes between the white settlers and the Indians over the Mlling of game. , A little' later riots between Italian and negro miners were reportrd in Illi nois, many of the tregroes being driven from their homes and some killed and maltreated. ' , The Cuban insurrection which began early in March soon took on threatening proportions, and fresh levies of Spanish troops have heen repeatedly required, but at this writing there is no prospect of an early termination of the struggle. many engagements have been fought, resulting in great loss of life. South America has reported the usual numbed of revolutions. That in the United States of Colombia was perhaps the most important: it was finally Dut down early in the year. . After three days' fighting in Lima. in March, a provisional Peruvian gov ernment was organized, and the insur rection in that country mav be regard ed as successful.

C, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16,1896. WRITES HIS OWN MESSAGES. President Cleveland Dislikes Dictation and - Is His Own Amanuensis. . .. ... ... ... Washington Star. " President Cleveland has probably sent as many messages to congress as all his predecessors combined. He set i the pace during his first term with his nu merous vetoes of pension bills, and easily broke all previous records for a corres ponding period.' Although less prolific in this respect during his present term, he has frequently found it necessary "to communicate his views in writing" to congress upon important Jaff aim of state. . - ..-:-;;:.:. :v. 0- : Mr. Cleveland writes all his own cor respondence, and prepares all 'his state papers without any assistance whatever from stenographer or , typewriter. He doest his not because it is necessary, but solely because it is more to his own sat isfaction. It naturally entail more mechanical work on his part, but he does it simply because he cannot recon cile himself : to the; advantages of the more modern system of dictation. ' Whatever he has tosay. he ; writes himself . If it is a message to congress, it is copied in manuscript form for each house and for the public' printer. The copies for congress are made by Major O. L. :Pruded,' assistant, private secre tary, and Mr. Warren S. Young, one of the executive clerks. , They are both exP P611111611 ad &e messages sent to congress m their : handwriting, are models of chirography. All messages to congress are sent in manuscript, re gardless of the fact that they may have been previously printed in pamphlet form. The printed copies are intended for the use of the press and individual members of congress. They are ready for issue simultaneously with the deliv ery of the? manuscript copies to the' two legislative bodies. President Cleveland wrote his celebra ted Venezuelan, message on a small tablet of paper, without the least assis tance 'from the official stenographer, and it was copied in the usual way for transmission to the two houses of con gress by Major Pruden and Mr. Young, despite the. fact that it had been 'put in type in the meantime at the govern ment printing office. : Peculiar Agreement of Ixrasiana Whites of Both Parties. y New Orleans Dispatch, December 30. .'.'

The administration seems to be work ing mighty hard to make itself unpop ular with the government employes in Washington. , In the good old times, under Republican administrations.about all that the clerks had to do-was to keep rrom falling Over each other during work hours about six hours a day. And they had every holiday in the catalogue. and on an average of about one half holiday a week. Under Cleveland, how ever, they have been reouired to work eight hours a day, and Candlemas, St Patrick's Day, Bunker Hill Day. Old Christmas, and a few othr holidays have been cut out.

"Dan." Sullivan had great de light in bantering the goat and watch ing the frantic efforts of the latter to re sent it. v - John .L would slap Dan," pull his whiskers and offer him other indigni ties that -fairly drove his goatship in sane with rage. When he could think of nothing worse . Sullivan would turn Dan over on his back and the goat i, : w:t would he helpless, his spreading horns Sullivan would spit in his eye. Dan's feelings toward the exchampion became such that he would snort with rage at the very sight Of the pugilist :. , But his day of reckoning came. When the show was at La Salle, Sulli van v was standing in a dressing" room near the stage engaged in putting on his shoes, when the doer opened and Dan, who standing near by towards the wall ; as usual, got a glimps of him. The! goat made a plunge and snapped the rope. Before Sullivan realized that he was in any danger Dan had struck him with the force of a trolley car and the big fellow was knocked into a cor ner of the room. Sullivan tried to rise, and the goat gave him another rap so hard that the big pugilist could not rise. He lay on the floor and gasped. A member of the company walked in at the moment and the goat gave him a butt in the stomach that laid him out completely. ' . Sullivan had by that time legained hiauwind and let out a series of lusty bawls for help that brought enough re inforcements to subdue Dan. Sullivan for a time ' was furious with anger and nothing less than the murder of the goat would satisfy him. He final ly changed his mind and now says that Dan can whip any goat on earth and he is ready to back him. , '- Commissioner Lacy's Report. RaLeigh, N. C.i Jan. 4.

Many letters from farmers are pub lished? Almost all of these ? call for more money and a majority lay great stress on education. Farmers are in better condition than in years past, and are very largely raising their own sup plies.

When the sockless statesman of Kan sas first Visited New York cityrhe went with a friend to the United States sub treasury Wall street They were shown through the vaults in which part of the government's money Is stored and finally reached a room in which thousands of big bags of silver dollars were piled ceiling high. Looking at the great neap of useless metal, the Medicine Lodge- financier : turned to the United States subtreasurer and asked : ! "Why ooul4 not silver certificates he issued just a3 well on the silver in the hills? It Would save the country all the expense of mining the ore. smelting and refining it and coining it Into dollars. I think it is a great waste of ' labor to dig all that silver out of one hole and out it ny into little pieces' Just to bring; it hete and dump it down intoanother bole. 'V Rlflicnlous as is the idea of paper enr rencybased on silver in the rooks, it Is more sensible than the free coinage at 16 to 1 plan. The silverites propose to compel the government to coin into legal tender dollars all the silver which may pie brought to the mints. Aa the country Lxiaa uireauy xax more piiver aouars man can be used in business, it would be nec essary to issue certificates which would pass cs currency. So thal the govern ineiitwould be practically buvlng ail the silver offered it at a price nearly double Its market value, j The silver mine owners and their agents ridiculed Congressman Simpson's cheap money scheme. " Butj wild as his plan was it djd not involve 'the repudia tion of just debts or the debasement of the standard of value, as; did theirs. Silverites who laugh at. the notion of using the Rocky mountains bs a basis for currency are . really condemning their own theory. Sensible people who believe 'in honest money want neither certificates based oh silver ote nor on pig silver. Either would mean a, great an nual loss through the wasteful employ ment of labor which ought to be en gaged in producing useful articles. " A Dylnj CraieJ . The failure of ex-Congressman Bland of Missouri to command ah audience of more ' than - one person in Savannah is significant of the dying out of the free silver craze at the south. Mr. Bland has been for many pion la congress offree and independent coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. He was the father of the "Bland dol lar," which the people refused to use, but permitted to accumu late by the hundredsof tons in the' treasury vaults. He belonged to the school of statesmen who disdained, tq consider the world's standard of value and asked, 'fWhat is abroad to us?" He asserted the omnipo tence of congress in the mat let of money making, and insisted upon giving 100 cents of value to 50 cents' worth of sil ver by a flat of that body. -. . Last year the voters of Missouri con cluded that they had had enough of Mr. Bland and his vagary,.and tliey left him at home. Now he -takes tc the lecture field and in a southern city of ' 60,000 Inhabitants, in a state to which Mr. Crisp has made an appeal for the sena torship on the same issue, Mr. Bland's agent sells one ticket to a lecture. . The defeat -of Hardin ih Kentucky and of free silver candidates in Iillinois and Nehraska are indications of the same nature.
