GRANTS EXAMPLE.
wnEREREroRM OUGHT TO BEGIN.


Wash. Cor. of the Chicago Tribune, RadJ
The country to which Schenck betook
himself is one where statesmen are gener-
ally rich. English legislators are men of
large private resources. The most of
them keep an estate in the country. "A
town-house in London, and live at the
clubs besides. At period when the En-
glish nation had experienced wonderful
revolution in sentiment toward America.
and unitedly labored to effect a social res
toration of the Legitimate good feeling
which should prevail between nations
Ike ourselves, poor old Schenck was pre-
cipltated in that cauldron Of bubbling and
seething hospitality. He was the man of
the time. He had just assisted to conclude
treaty which was to smother the diff
| ferences of the past, and conduce to a moral
alliance between the mother country and
its gigantic offspring. What wonder If
the worst Interpretation should come true.
and this admirable old gentleman, taking
his American notions of political mor-
chandise with him, has allowed his name
J to be used in mining adventure, which
has already covered him with scandal?
What more signal instance than this
can we find to show that the example set
by our Chief Magistrate, three years ago
is not without its imitators The Presi-
dent forgot his emincnce when he reached
the summit Of power, and took presents
aud fitted out his knsmen with offices.
With this high example still recent in his
mind, Minister Schenck may have put his
ofhclal name at the head of q mining and
Jobblng advertisement. He has served the
country longer than the President, and he
ought to have little estate of hi,
own. We can understand how much
old orthodox England must be agi,at-
ed over this matter, if we can
also conceive that Minister Thornton
while residing in Washington, had
advertised in the papers of the country
lottery of some sort in the British Isles.
Brother Hamilton Fish would. in such
case, feel revolution in the deepest re-
probabilities of his Knickerbocker nature.
If the case of Catacazy has made him
boil,-that cockatrice Catacazy who wrote
political things in the New York dalies,-

My beloved readers, we want n reform in
the Civil Service, and we want to begin IL
by reforming the Presidency. The first
place to begin with in the new Civil Ser |
wee is right at the source; to stand up in |
the mighty dignity and unanimitv of our
and vote the White House n |
new tenant.

WHEN the New. York Tribune so

WHEN the New. York Tribune said
some time ago that "good intentions
cannot excuse violations of law. The
surrender of municipal authority into
the hands of soldiers is an act of des.
peration. Nothing can justify it.
nothing can ever excuse it, but an over
. towering necessity which deprives all
civil magistrates of their free will. Ii
does not appear that at any time there
was such necessity existing in Chi
cage, it did not make due allowance
for " haste" or inadvertence" on the
part Of the military servants of the sd =.
ministration. The Chicago Tribune ex.
cuses the act Of Gen. Sherman in Or
dering four companies Of United States
soldiers to Chicago to act as police"
as an inadvertence" unfortunate"
no doubt, but still excusable because
it was done " hastily" And SO 90 on
the usurpations of the military presi
dent aud his subordinates.

THE st. Louis Times, unalterably op.

with truth "The democracy once dis.

can never recover itself. 1t has not
yet gotten over the no-party move,
ment Of the early years of the war
(which so obtained in many of the
states. Wherever the democracy has
most strictly maintained its organiza.
ton, there il is in the best fighting
condition to-day. Where would New,
Hampshire or Connecticut be if their
democrats were made Of the stuff
which goes to form a passiyist of the
Republican kidney? For nineteen
years the gallant democracy of the old
granite state fought the good fight

'quered gloriously. So can we conuer

THE Proores, tho nov rod;o.I

THE Progress, the new radical paper
OF Williamson county, either wilfully
or ignorantly, we are uncertain which.
says that the New-York World openly
advocates the passive policy. Desiring
to set the Progress right on this matter
we extract the following from recent
editorial in the World:
I'VE have no faith in the ''psssiye poli-
cy.' We are for liberal policy, pro-
gressive policy, a policy which ignores
dead issues, and deals with present ques.
tions, policy which mounts into the sad
die with its face to the horses head snd
not to lis tail but still vigorous, active
courageous, aggressive policy as against
our political opponents. In this deliberate
judgment we are sorry TO differ from some
esteemed democrats; but We feel absolutely
certain that We shnH be supported Dy the
great mass of the democratic party"
