POLITICAL.

public welfare requires the su-
premacy Of the civil over the mil.
itary authority and freedom of
person under the protection OF

the individual the largest liberty
consistent with public order, for
the State self government, and
for the nation, a return to the
methods of peace and the consti-
tutional limitations of powcE.
D. The civil service OF the Gov.
ernment has become "a mere i'm.
Strument of partisan tyranny and
personal ambition and an object
of selfish greed. and is scandal
and reproach upon free ilStitu-
tons, and brands a demCraliZa.
ton dangerous to the perpetuity
of the Republican Government.
We therefore regard a thorough
reform of the civil service us one
of the most pressing necessities
OF the hour. That honesty, capaci
ty aud fidelity constitute the ONLY
valid Claims TO public employ.
ment. That the Offices of the
Government cease to be a matter
of arbitrary favOritiSm and pa.
trlotlsm and patronage, and that
public station shall become
again the post of honor. To this
end IT. is imperatively required
that no President shall be can
dldate for reelection.
&. We demand Federal taxation
which shall not necessarily intel.
fere with the industry of the PEG.
pie, and which shall provide the
means necessary 10 pay the eX-
penses ofsthe government, eco
nomically administered, pensions,
the interest on the public debt.
and Il moderate reduction annual.
ly of the principal thereof, and
recognizing that there are in our
midst honest, though irreconcila-
bic differences of opiniou with re-
gard 10 the respective systems of
protection and free trade, we
remit the discussion of the sub
ject TO the people in thereon res-
sional districts, and to the free
decision ofCongress thereon Who'll
~ free of iecutive interference or
dictation.
Z. The public credit must be
sacredly maintained, and we de-
nOunre reputation in every form
and guise.
5. A speedy return TO specie
payment is demanded alike by
the highest considerations OF com
merc;al morality and honest gov
eminent.
3. We remember with gratitude
the heroISm and sacrifices of the
soldiers and sailors of the RpDub
llc, and no act of ours shall ever
uetrdct from thelr justly earned
fame or the full rewards of their
patriotism.
10. We are opposed to all fur
Their grants of land TO railroad or

should be held sacred to actual
settlers.
IL. We hold that it is the duty
OF the Government in its inter
course with foreign nations to
cultivate the friendship of peace
by treaty with all on fair and
equal terms, regarding it alike
diShonorable either to demand
what is not right or submit to

a Trayesty of Justice.

The Stokes trial in New York pre-
sents one of the most remarkable scenes
which the annals of judicial procedure
can afford. Everybody is on trial. The
petit jury tries the grand jury upon the
charge of cOrruptly finding the iadict-
ment 1t is the preliminary trial of
Stokes, the murderer, and Fisk, the
murdered man, is on trial too; and what
is the most remarkable of all, the judge
on the bench has to look after his own
trial, which is going On-befOre the judi
ciary committee. And then, too, the
ings are conducted adds not little col
oring to the picture. At the opening of
the court, says one of the New York
papers, every one seemed to be smiling
Judge Cardozo came in smiling; Sher-
if Brennan came in smiling; and even
Stokes himself had a pleasant smile
upon his face" A trial for murder has
usually been depicted as something in
tensely grand and solemn. Such a
scene as this would hardly have entered
the inauguration of any one as fitting
accompaniment. 1t only makes the
more apparent the villany which there
abOunds.
So far as Stokes himself is concerned
in this procedure, no one will be likely
to find fault 1t is part of his game.
He will, of course, make the most of
his advantage. If delays are dangerous
in the trial of criminal causes, they are
also advantageous to him. This prelimi-
nary trial gives him time, and time is
what he wants most. If report speaks
rightly he will succeed in his attempt,
and there will be a long delay before his
case is laid before another grand jury.
He has also succeeded admirably in turn
ing the tables upon his enemies. A man
who commits a murder is usually pnt
upon his defence. The opportunity
is not given him to become an assailant.
But Stokes becomes the plaintiff. He
makes himsef martyr. The grand
jury COnspirc8 against him with the man
whom he has murdered. The public
mind, once hot with indignation against
him, is now diverted and turned to
another issue, and he hopes soon to make
it in full sympathy with himself. We
do not allude to the course of procedure
as finding fault with the trial of the
grand jury by petit jury. Such a
thing seems very strange, and has prOba-
bly, never before occurred in exactly this
form in the history Of our judicial pro-
Cccdings. Charges against the grand
jury can only be inquired into in such a
preliminary investigation. The grand
fact. however, is, and the commentary
we would make upon it is, that it reveals
in striking manner the depths to which
the administration Of Justice has sunk
in the commercial metropolis of the
country. The fountains of public iuS-
ticc must have become corrupted indeed,
or such a state Of things could never
have existed.
