(Extract from the speech of Bourke Cockran, de livered in New York August ISth.j Every Democratic pap:r should print, and every Democratic speaker should read to his audiences, the following let ter written by President Cleveland in 1893 to the editor oi the Atlanta Consti tution: -Gray Gables, Buzzard Bay, Mass., July 16. 1892. Clark Howell. Esq. My Dear Sir: The receipt of your recent letter has gratified me exceedingly. It has a tone of true Democracy about it, and is pervaded with the sort of Demo cratic frankness wbich is very pleasing. ' I think the underlying principles of party organization is what you so ad mirably express as an acceptance the arbitrament of the National Conven tion. On the other banj, it is as fully the duty cf one opposed to shut his mind and heart to any feeling of irrita tion or resentment that might be al lowed to grow out of opposition based upon honest judgment and a conscien tious desire for parly success. "I am not surprised, though I am gratified by the announcement that from this time to the close of the campaign vour own service and the invaluable in fluence of the Constitution will be devoted to the fight tor Democratic success. It honestly seems to me that Democrats who are not at this time loyal to the cause are recreant to their country. "Personal advancement of man is nothing; the triumph of the principles we advocate is everything. "Hoping that we may congratulate each other on a a glorious result in No vember; I am, vours sincerely, "Grover Cleveland." CALL IT OFF. The Star has never looked with favor on the fusion suggestions that have been made from time to time since the political ball began rolling in this State this year, fur the reason that we do not on general principles like fusion, although we recognize the fact that emergencies might arise, when to accomplish a great pur pose, in which all the people are in terested, which would make it desir able and patriotic, and for the fur ther reason that we never had any confidence in the honesty or sincer ity of the leaders of the party with which it was proposed to fuse. , Events as they have developed, and th; recent venal and shameful prostitution of both the Populist and Republican parties in Raleigh by their leaders, who dickered and bar tered their parties away for the of fices they thought to be in sight for them, have justified our opinions. Was there any principle involved in this shameful bartering? i i Isn't it plain to the simplest; that . all this planning, moving, counter moving, putting up and taking dowu, was simply for the purpose of hold ing the offices they have or of secur ing offices that they have not ? Are the honest masses of the Pop ulist party or of the Republican par ty cattle to be driven and traded off in this shameful wav bv men hn i . V " ! haye no more respect for or interest in them than they have in last year's June bugs? i The rotten venality of this whole business is shown by every move in the game until the final move was made at Raleigh when the job was finished and each player had dealt out to him 'his prospective share of the spoils. I In an article published August 22d on this subject we contended that the Populist leaders were not honest n their professions of a desire for ifusion with the Democrats on the electoral ticket and that they did not desire the triumph of the Demo cratic candidate, Bryan, at the next election. We gave our reasons, and .. reasons which , we then and still think justified by the action of the Populist leaders. We, also, con tended that when the Democrats of the State decided not to postpone their State convention to await de velopments at Chicago, as sug gested, but held their convention and nominated a straight Demo cratic ticket, we deliberately and officially announced to the Populist leaders that we could go it alone, and Intended to do it. When we did that they began to cast around, to court the Repub lican machine managers, to find how they could bargain to the best ad vantage with them. The result of this casting around and pulse feel ing was developed in the closed door proceedings at Raleigh Thurs- . ... . . - :J I aay. wnen we doss u.uc uv- - ulators of the Republican and Popu list parties, intent on spoils, got to gether and put up the j ?b they did. When we wrote the article to which we have referred above we said "Quit Fooling.", If the thought nf fusion on the electoral ticket be still entertained by any member of the Democratic State Committee, we repeat it to him, and we repeat it in all sincerity and with all the empha sis we nan put into our words, Quit Fooling! The Democratic masses of the State don't want any more of it. They are sick of it and disgusted with it, and they listen to talk of it with a nausea that "they could not conceal if they would. This is the sentiment to day, in our opinion, of eight out of every ten Democrats in the State, the majority of whom never did look with favor on fusion propositions, but might have accepted them as a mat ter of policy and of patriot ism If the Populist leaders had shown a spirit of disinterested pa triotism and honest sincerity; but they now feel satisfied that there was nothing of this in those leaders and that to further negotiate with them is simply putting the Demo- lratic party in a position td be fur- ther rebuffed, degraded or betrayed. That's the way the masses of the Democratic party of the State feel about it, and we believe if the mat ter were submitted to them eight out of ten of them would thunder "QUIT FOOLING." They believe, as we believe, that as matters now stand or may stand at any time be tween now and the day of election, a solid,,united Democracy can carry the State for the State ticket, for the legislature and for Bryan and Sewall in spite of all the combines of the spoils pursuers. ILLS OK KBBTIOH. We clip the following from the press dispatches of yesjterday: London, September 10. The direc tors of the Bank ot England have ad vanced the bank's rate of discount from 2 per cent, to 2J per cent. This is the first time that the bank has increased its ditcount rate since February 23. 1894. The action of the directors ot the bank was expected, and is. regarded as a pre cautionary measure, having the effect to check the drain or gold o the United States and the Continent. The imme diate effect of the announcement of the increase was to cause a decline on the Stock Exchange of consols, borne rail way shares and Arrierican railway stocks. We published an editorial a few days ago suggested by a statement of the Dun's Reporter that confidence had been much restored by the in flow of gold, in which we pointed out the evil consequences of a mone tary system which could be thus affected by the outflow or inflow of a few millions of gold, thus disturbing business, causing a feeling of uncer tainty, anxiety and unrest among business men and pnttiog business practically In a state of chaos when no man knew how to calculate or what to expect. The dispatch we quote above concludes with the statement that "the immediate effect of the increase (one half a cent on the rate ot discount) was to cause a decline on the Stock Exchange of con sols, home railway shares and Amer ican railway stocks." This is a very brief statement of fact, but it means that the effect of this increase of one half of a cent on the rate of dis count may result in the aggregate loss of milliotts of dollars to the peo ple holding these consols, and shares and stocks, and the putting of these millions into the pockets of those who are in a position to take advantage of the situation. Could a better argument be asked against the single gold standard which thus puts it in the power of one bank to so af fect business and cause the loss of millions to' the' people who have money thus invested ? With a double standard no such result could be possible. The New York Sun, which now shines for Hanna and McKinley, which didn't like Cleveland in 1884, 1888 or 1892 any better than it does now, (although Bro. Dana and Mr. Cleveland find themselves tempo rarily under the same blanket) made its campaign in 1892 on the Force Bill issue, and wrote very warmly and strongly on the iniquities and dangers of that thing in the event the Republican party were successful. After the election it had the cheek to claim that it was the vigorous licks which the Sun struck the Force Bill monster that laid Harrison out and elected Cleveland. In this con nection the following, which we clip from the Sun, is suggestive: ' It is to the great shame of Arkansas that nobody puts any confidence in the returns oMast Monday's election as ex pressive, ot the real sentiment of the citizens of the State. Its reputation for dishonesty in counting is deplorable." . This is simply an echo of the cry of fraud that the anti-Democratic organs have raised against the elec- tion in Arkansas, which will be re- -peated about every, election in the South when . the Republicans are beaten. Isn't this paving the way in advance for legislation to. secure "fair elections in the South" more Force bills if he Republican party be successful in the, next election? The pretence that the Republican party will attempt nothing ot tnat kind, or that Mr. McKinley would not favor it, is the merest mockery. for the Republican party pirades and makes load profession of its desire for "free and fair elections," and such utterances as this, . which we clip from the Sun, will be offered as a justification ot and an imperative reason why the Republican party should see that thev have this kind w. c - t.- ot may try to deny that there will be any attempts at this kind of legis lation, but the Southern man who is pasted by such representations and nurses that delusion will not nurse it long if Mr. McKinley be elected and have a Republican Congress behind him. CURRENT COMMENT. -The Indianapolis candidate will have some reason to suspect that he is more of a theory than a condition. Wash. Star gold), Dem. Mr. Eckels estimates there will be 2,500 votes cast for the? In dianapolis ticket in his home coun ty. Permit us to hope that Mr. Eck els' estimater is in much better re pair than it was when he predicted his home county would senj a sound money delegation to the convention of the Illinois Democrats. Washing ton Post, Ind. The Republican organs are delighted- with the Indianapolis ticket, and are - unanimous in their praises of the two candidates on it both good Democrats. This is very unusual. Buckner would have been catching it from them hot and heavy if he and Palmer had been nominated at Chicago. Charleston News ond Courior, gold) Dem, Mr. Hanha is right in keep ing Maior McKinley at home. His next step may be to prevent his can didate from making speeches even in Canton. The newspapers take the Major's address up and show how thy compare with the Repub lican candidate's silver record.

'I thought I was a connoisseur in i patches," said the matt of moderate means, "for I had four patches on each shoe. I used to laugh as - I' looked at them and fancy that I might almost call myself an expert. But, alas, as X soon discovered, I was scarcely more than an ' amateur. "In the course of time a new crack developed in one of my shoes, In the up per, crosswise of the shoe and about midway between the sole and the top or highest point of the shoe. At the Bame time a patch along the welt on the same side started loose, and I took the shoe to the shoemaker.' He had put other patches on my shoes in the most perfect manner; and he had always treated me when I came for a new patch with the same politeness as though I had come each time for a pair of new shoes. "He looked the shoe over, and said he would make one -patch to cover both places, the place along the welt and the new crack m the top. This was obvious ly the thing to do. It wonld make one patch instead of two, and so wonld look better, and,' with its greater area and wider distribution of the wearing strain, it would last longer than two smaller patches. So he put it on that way ; run ning along the welt and then making a turn and running up to cover the crack in the top. ' "As I looked at the new L shaped patch I realized how limited my pre vious knowledge of patches had been. I had had many patches, but they had been but commonplace, just plain, ordi-1 nary patches, but as I looked at the new patch and looking down at my shoes I saw in them (and in the near future, if I would keep them in repair) the prospective need of other patches, al phabetical and geometrical I knew that I was noW in a fair way to become an expert indeed.' New York Sun. The Coming Fashionable Bonnet. That plaited straw, yellowish in tint, will form the fashionable bonnet there i can be no doubt. But the shape selected will depend this season, more than ever before, on that fancied by the wearer. Since the directoire, first empire and I Louis XVI styles are all in vogue, with ! a suggestion of the large bonnets fan- i cied during the early part of this century, and the small bonnets such as were in vogue among the beauties of the second empire, it would' seem as if every face I should be suited. The fact that the stock and the jabot are growing nearer and nearer to the ears means, so say the milliners, the coming in of ribbon ties, and broad ones at that. Importers an nounce that the enormous straw hats will be tied by inoh wide ribbons under the chin, while the small bonnets will i be put on securely with three inch wide ties. Ladies' Home Journal.
