Speaking of the probability that Presi­ dent Cleveland will retire permanently from public life at the end of his present term, the New York correspondent of the Pittsburgh Dispa tch says: Cleveland is said to have some literary ambitions. He would like to have celebrity as a writ­ er on economic subjects. He has already it is said, made some beginning in that direction and has planned a treatise on monetary science. Everything, in short, prompts the president to give up politi­ cal life." A treatise on monetary science; from the pen of Cleveland would be more in­ teresting than valuable. It would difficult for him to pass as authority J on financial subjects after an administra­ tion #hose acts of folly lowered the country's credit so far as to increase by more than one quarter the rate of inter­ cut which it mast pay on its loans. !?uch a book would resemble that on "How to Qrow Rich in Speculation," by a man who was bankrupt in Wall street. The correspondent adds that Cleveland "doesn't want to be president again, and whatever skeptical individuals may think, he will not^Jxrifjie can prevent it and he thinks hd can?' Yes, we think he can. According to preeent signs be would find it difficult to carry the elec­ toral vote of the most rock-ribbed Dem ocratic state in the Union No doubt he will be able to retire. The public is quite 'willing for him to dabble in theories of political science, so long as he does not attempt to apply them to government affairs. The temperance peQple have open- what they term a "Home Saloon" at' 49 West Adams street, Chicago, where jpretty waiter ladies gracefully serve an HO: % " ^ : i Imitation bitter beer, non-intoxicant, sandwiches or soup for five cents. A full meal is given with a ten cent drink. Fif­ teen varieties of light beverages have 'been concocted by an experienced drink mixer to quench the public thirst. Anoth­ er saloon of a similar character will be established on Dearborn street to com­ pete with the regulars. I^Mr. Hopkins, in his« strong speech in Congress last week, against the gold bond revolution, made a very strong point against the action of the Presi­ dent. After showing what had been done he added/with entire relevance and telling eBect / The bondholder is directly interested in driving this country to a silver basis and sending gold to a premium. The Roths childs by this method could double the value of their holdings. Secretary Folger had extended the vast sum of $300,000,- 000 4 per cent at 3 per cent in the open sunlight before the Americau people [Republican applause.] Even the loan* of this administration h id before beet made in the open market with the Amer ican people in the light of day. They had been made for ten years at leu than 3 per cent. Now there had been made a contract with a foreign syndicate by which the government received $9,500,000 less than similar bonds were sellingfor in th» open market on the very day the Presi­ dent had sent his contract to Congresr- with the bribe of $16,000,000 to get it* consent. A secret loan was negotiated for higher rates than any civilized conn try was paying on its debt, higher even than baukrupt Egypt, little Norway or ojhfr country was being charged. HOH. WK. E MASON AT OTTAWA. The Hon. Wm. E. Mason,, of Chicago, delivered an address at Ottawa, 111., on Washington's Birthday, which the pa­ pers of that city are unanimous in pro­ nouncing the most able and eloquent ever delivered in that city. The follow­ ing is a brief extract from his speech: It is well on a day like this, when we do honor to the name of Washington, to look back over our past, confessing our mistakes, if we have made tnem, that we may avoid them in the future, and by a study of the character and history of our splendid past enable ourselves to be more helpful in that glorious future which lies before us. Let us not boast coo much because we have passed all other nations in the world in power, in wealth, but let us appreciate the respon­ sibilities that rest upon individual citi- *"»•« by the growth and prosperity of this Nation. 1 «as once going from Washington on the Potomac River to the tomb of tin immortal first President of the United States. On the deck of the steamer 1 i$ot into conversation with an ex-Con- iederate soldier. He told me that during the war, at one time, he was camped near Mount Vernon, and that he visited the tomb of Washington and met there fre­ quently Union soldiers, who, like him •lad left their arms outside of the enclo­ sure. Like all Americans, I have always honored the name of Washington.-- Again and again have I read his stat*> napers. Partieula'ly as a boy and man, have I frequently read his farewell iddress where, almost with the eye of urophecy, he foresaw the great struggle iietween slavery and freedom ; yet, wi"h ill my love and honor for his memory rhat little incident gave to my mind an additional glory to the life and charac ter of Washington. *\ often think of the dark days of th ivil war--the fighting of brotheragainst brother and father against son, contend ing armies sweeping back and forth, now in victory and now in defeat--I hea Hsrain the noise of battle, and remember that every foot of ground WHS subject t the carnage of war except the sacred soil therein lies the dust of Washington One spot was left, thank God, where men ind brethren arrayed against eaoh other could go out of the smoke and carnage ind in the beauty and quiet of that sa­ bred presence regard each other as men »nd brethren. To-day that spirit ha* extended from Mount Vernon to North ind South until every loyal heart i« 'hankful that slavery is no more and this country is to be one and undivided forever. AH INHERITANCE TA*,BII,L. Senator Coon, representing thia fe«ua- toria! district, has introduced an impor­ tant bill. It provides for taxing an inheritance six per cent at the time the estate is settled in court. There will be no escaping it. and probably no attempts would b» made in this direction. When a windfall strikes a person by the death of a rich relative, payment of the tax would not seem so burdensome. The six per cent provided by this bill as the part going to the public treasury would leave the heir 94 per cent that would always look big. This method of raising revenue has resorted to in the state of New York and several European countries with satisfactory results, and there is no good reason why the bill should not become s law in Illinois. A good part in mau,\ large estates escape their share of taxa tion, and it is nothing but fair that somr of this loss to the state should be madir np at the time the original owner leaver his propertv behind and it passes into hands that did not earn it. If Senator Coon should be successful with this bill, then let him introduce on* that will compel the giving in of notet- and other evidences of indebtedness t< the assessor so that they can be taxed A law_that would forfeit a note, principal and iffterest, to the school fund $that did not bear the assessor's stamp folk, taxa­ tion each year of its existence w^uld lighten considerably the burden .of taxa­ tion upon visible property. Right if right and will wrong no man. Ao mai ill claim that real estate and visible personal property should be taxed unti' its owners groan under the burden and hundreds of thousands of dollars in th« form of notes and credits escape the as «eesor each year because the owners an too niggardly to, give them in. Yet sucl is the case--Boone County Republican. !## e mi Mm ai Means Saving of Your Dollars. More than 200 pairs are left of high grade ladies1 and gents' Shoes. Some are $2 50, $3, and even $4 goods.

Aliiong the most notable of the pres­ ent winter's phenomena have been two conspicuous facte, first that the cold wave has been unusually severe and far reaching in the South, and second that tile late cold wave and blizzard came from that locality instead of the Nprtb\ west, a* has been the case hitherto. It (•>ms anomalous, for the reason that we associate sunshine and semi-tropit temperature with our southern area,and the occnrrance has naturally set people to conjecturing how the ordinary course of meteorological proceedings came to be reversed. A scientific explanation is fur­ nished by the weather bureau at Wash­ ington, and the Philadelphia Record thun ; summarizes the statement of T. McCabe, "aii expert of the bereau: As is mo|i^r less well known the cold­ est part of tll^North American continent iStin all probability, in the Saskatchewan •alley, east of Mt. Hooker. The heightl- of the Rocky mountain range at this lo­ cation prevents the eastern flow of|vap.oi from the Pacific ocean, and so the cold waves lurks undisturbed in this valley. Bat in order to dislodge this imp of Jack Frost from his northwestern hermitage King Winter exercises a clever ruse. He whips the warm currents and the oceat surface evaporates from the jower Atlan­ tic westward before the trade winds. But these currents run up suddenly against the eastern off-shore winds which blow from Florida to T^xas. The cyclone shock produces a wide storm area, and cloud matter from without rushes into Windy fray. A vacuum is createdjnear the northwestern hiding place, and presto 1 the cold waveleaps forth, races like an icy charger through the twiste<1 •ortex to the Carolines and assault" thecitadel of the North from iteunguard- «£ southern gates. As will be seen, it is all perfectly clear, provided you understand it, and if you do not of course that is no fault of the weather bureau or expert McCabe. Any Way, it is a change of programme that the North does not enjoy. The South used to send us in midwinter oranges, sarly vegetables and reports of balmy days with northern visitors lolling under tjhe palm trees id summer attire. Now it fives us blizzards and influenza. The Md arrangement was much the better JSM. ' The WashingtonPo«tsays: "Since the promotion of Mr. Burrows to the senate it hals been generally conceded that Mr. Reed would have no opposition to hie election as speaker of the Fifty- fourth congress. A faction of the Repub­ licans in the house always has entertain, ei a warm regard for the member fr< m Michigan, a id would like to have seen him in the speaker's chair; but when Burrows was elected to the senate Reed was conceded to have a clear track. This was largely due to the circumstance that no considerable number of Republicans could agree upon any other man. Bnt pince Thursday, Feb. 14, something of a speakership boom has developed in be­ half of Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, w^/ made the strongest speech on thtftf side of the houae on the bond proposition Hopkins' speech was along straight party lines and bad the true Republican ring. It made a strong impression among his party associates and caused his name to be freely cotipted with the speakership. What proportion thiB agi- ation will attain is a matter that will rest largely wi!h Hopkins himself. It ""tffaiy-posGibly blow over in a short time, but on the other hand it may gain in force and cause hie name to be presented *ide by side wit^hat of Reed when the ••lection takes/place, m a complimentary vote at least."
