TOO LONG AND TOO LOOSE.

Does Mr.. Vallandgham mean, after all, to
natter with us in a double sensef Does he ac-
cent the Constitution rs it is, or does he
merely bow to it before the people for the
sake of political advantage in lighting 1t be-
fore the Courts
As for Mr. Vallandigham personally, we in
cline to respect his sincerity. His career shows
MANY things we do not like, but two that we
do he is never afraid of the noise of his
own opinions, and he is not fool. The
latter accounts for his unwillingness to keep
ON trying to tight the war which Gen. Lee
stopped at Appomattox and the other Tor
bids the belief that he is afraid now to as
sumo squarely position which hundreds OF
leading Democrats know he favored In the
private discussions at the Tamnany Hall
Convention of 1863.
But he is doomed to be the victim OF
party too slow to comprehend the pollcy ana
too rebellious to appreciate the PATRIOTISM Oh
accepting the results of the war. They still
want TO keep up the fighting. Our platform
does MT mean much after all-suCh, substan-
tally, is the assurance of The Cincinnati En-
quirer-because at any rate our light must DC
made in the Courts The New Departure rad

but when shown to be a departure That

"Stay in Toulon and Toulouse" said his
critics to Henry A. Wise, when there was talk
of sending him as Minister to France. The

If the object of the latest Reorganization
of the Republican party in this City is TO in
crease the Republican strength so that we
may hope to regain the control of the State,
the proceedings of the last two or three days,
as detailed in our local columns, do not seem
calculated to accomplish it, If the object is
to gain such hold upon the party as to Sc
cure its delegates in the interest of particular
candidates at conventions, the proceed
Jugs do not seem likely to accomplish
that The people of the State will
finally settle all disputes among the reorgan-
izers. We content ourselves now with inviting
attention to the work in hand and the mode
wherein it is conducted. We do not believe
that the consideration to be given any organi-
cation will be increased by its having copied
off whole pages of names from old canvass
books, and set them down as members. What
is wanted is a representation which the Re-
publicans of this city have chOsen,-not
one which chooses long lists of names of Re-
publicans, and says it represents them. Neither
do we reckon the appearance of Mr.. The.
Allen and his friends in their professional
capacity, and their display Of professional
service thing of good omen.

Mr.. r. B. Roosevelt has written a letter in
support of the ugly story that Gen. Grant re-
fused an appointment as cadet at West Point
to the son of Gen. Thomas Francis Meagher
and gave it to the son of Brigham Young,-a
story which is false in both its branches Mr..
Roosevelt seems to have been asked to nomi-
nate young Meagher, but as appointments of
"this character are valuable patronage" he
preferred to save the place for some one else
if Meagher could get a nomination from the
President. He waited therefore until he was
Uniformed that the President had filled all his
"appointments.p Then he sent in Meagher's
name, and the young man was duly gazetted.
But it now appears that Meagher was one of
the Presidents ten appOintees, and when his
list was sent to the Secretary of War it was
returned with the information that the lad had
already been nominated by Mr.. Roosevelt.
Was our distinguished representative from the
lVth District deceived into the belief that
Gen. Grant would not appoint Meagherf or
is it possible that he only made little mis-
calculation of time, and expected to have has
nomination returned, with the information
that the President had anticipated him
AS for the Mormon cadet, he was not sent
to the Academy by the President, but by the
Delegate from Utah, Mr.. Hooper,

The Hon. s. S. Fisher, ex-COmmissioner of
Patents, delivered lecture recently, IN Cln-
cinnati, on the Experiences OF bureau
Ofiicer.n He draws a shocking but ludlcrous
picture of the scramble for Office i'll Washing
ton, the influences which control appointments
and removals, and the wretched manner IN
which the Government is served under the
prevailing system. 1t Is an excellent COM
mentary on the problem of civil service re-
form, and will be read with keen interest Dy
the gentlemen whom the President has just
appointed to carry out the new law on tna1
subject 1t must convince them, however,
that a much more radical enactment Is neceS-
sary before the public service can be piaceu
mon a proper footing. Examination OF can
didates has long been more or less honestly
practiced in the Washington Departments, ana
in the Patent Office it seems that genuine
system of competitive examinations has been
carefully enforced. This, however, has only
partially relieved the pressure for place, and
has not stopped the disgraceful traffic III
patronage which is the curse of our political
life and the scandal of the public admlnistra-
ton. The new law may keep out incompetent
candidates. but it does not secure the faithful,
efficient, experienced official a permanent
tenure of his place, and leaves the democrat
izing principle that to the victOrs belong the
spoils as mischievOus and vigorous as ever.

BY way of London we have adVicus VI ',o
burning of ship freighted WIN cOo",0 vi 'no
VOYAGE from Macao to Callao. We have no
particulars of the disaster beyond the harrow
ing statement that six hundred poor wre'cneS
ncrisbod in the flames. The coolie trade be-
tween Macao and South American ports Is
ob;oav in the hands of the Portuguese That
trafic is tinged with horrors as deep and dark
"a ever characterized the African Slave Trade.
Only now and then, when some story like that
of the landing of emaciated, dying coolies in
the Sandwich Islands reaches us, does the
civilized world have any hint of the crime and
suffering which lie beneath this modern sys-
tenn of slavery. The six hundred human
beings who are reported to have been burned
alive on the voyage from China to Peru were
really captives, however plausibly the whole
cOoie system may be explained away by the
European and Chinese traffickers in flesh and
blood. Whether this particular calamity was
the result of mere carelessness, or a mutiny
by the coOles-and the latter suppOsition is
most probable-it ought to arrest the attention
of civilized nations. The African Slave Trade
was broken up by an international compact
now let us have the destruction of the cOOliC
traffic.

The reporter now publishes card of his own
in which he seems to exculpate himself from the
charge of imposing upon the public. Incident
ally, however he accuses Judge Stuart, cOun-
sci for the murderer, of having sanctioned the
publication of Fosters "Pea to the Public
and of disowning all responsibility in the pre-
misses only when he discovered that the plea
met with universal condemnation. This state
ment gains plausiblity when we remember that
although the " Plea" was published in The Star
on Saturday, was reproduced in the Sunday
papcrs,and afterwards on Monday in such OF ,no
dailies as do not print Sunday editions, Juaso

The details of the capture of Paris, and the
destruction which ensued, as given i'll cor
respOndence of THE TRIBUNE and foreign
files, greatly exceed the lurid picture given by
cable dispatches. The red days of 1913 were
more than excelled in terror, for to the prOdi-
gal effusion of blood by the Infatuated Yer
sallists was added the spectacle of the burn
ing of beautiful Paris by the defeated and
retreating Communists. 1t is impossible for
any person possessing the slightest degree of
sensibility to read these accounts without
shudder. And still the wonder grows that
such worse than barbaric scenes should have
passed through the perfect capital of the
civilized world.

So it seems that the people of Paris, present
and to come, are to be held in check by for
midable fortresses, and the erection of these
works has actually been commenced on the
nights of Montmartre and Chaumont. Very
good but suppose the particular political ee-
nent now ruling Paris should by and by lose
possession of these intramural fOrts7 1t is
barely possible that the Sans-culOttes may be
able, some fine day, to man the awe-inspiring
guns inside Paris, and those machines be thus
made to plague their inventors.

The report of the Free Labor Bureau for
the five months of this year exhibits con-
siderable increase of situations furnished, as
compared with the same period of last year.
The number of laborers sent into the country
is nearly double that reported last year,
though it is stated that the demand from the
country is still considerably less than that of
the city Perhaps list of the actual applica-
tons to the Bureau would be rather discOur-
aging to contemplate; but it is gratifying to
know that this useful institution has provided
situations for 17,3OS persons in the past five
months

Both the Republican and Democratic parties
claim majority in the New-Hampshire Legis-
lature. The election to-day will decide mat
tiers. Our dispatches indicate the probability
that Weston, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, will be chosen by a combination be-
tween the Democrats and Labor Reformers'
Such a complication of contingencies in poll
tics is seldom seen. The solution Of the tan
gled problem will be looked for to-day with
curious interest, as finally showing how much
or how little the "great Democratic victory

The testimony of ex-GOv. Orr before the
Sub Committee on Ku-Klux Outrages IN
South Carolina, given yesterday, certainly can
not be called one-sded by those who have af-
fected to pooh-pooh the whole business. He
very candidIy says that secret organizations
did exist in South Carolina, having for their
object the intimidation of negroes approach
the polls. The Ex-Governor pithiy sums up
the whole case of the irreconcilables as re-
fusng to take part in elections at the outset
of reconstruction, and subsequently attempting
10 secure the colored vote which had been
created despite their opposition.

Many thoughtful people will indorse the
views of Gov. Cooke of the District of Colum-

Many of the best and most practical men in En-
gland are pleading vehemently against the threat
ened separation of Church and State, from an APP
parent dread of the anarchy rather paralysis In
religious feeling, which will follow. Better, they
reason this scaolding of forms and ceremonies than
nothing. The last bug-bear raised by The Pau
Mall Gazette to scare those whO it AYERS, attack the
establishment is Modern Thought. Sprlngng
not from theologc doubt but from scientific demon
stration it is q rising food which threatens to drown
all the Christian Churches wheneupon it urges all
denominations to oppose this flood. and for this
cause Join in unfolding the system which they now
seek to break down. If truth must find It's only de-
tense in system which is acknowledged false and
rotten and if this system must be in turn upheld by
government force and money, we are not surprised
that so many are turning to Modern Thought to see
if it has anything better to offer them. We have
great faith in the strong common sense of the En-
glish people, even when they BEGIN to resolve their
religious creed to its original elements. The more
dredging the finer the assay, the better. But the
pattenirg treatment Of expedieucy never destroyed
a grain of actual truth or made fasehood perpetual
In this connection We notice curious mistake iiauo
