A Shallow Pretender.

The pusillanimous and indefensible
conduct of Gov. Stone, of Miss, in
failing to bring to justice the miscre-
ants who murdered the Chisholm fam
lily, provoked the Cincinnati Gazette
to say the following "In o.
tober, 1876, Governor Stone, of
Mississippi, thought the Governor
was supreme, and that be was the man
who executed all the laws and conserved
the public peace, and he erted that
he was able to bring all perpetrators of
wrongs to justice, and was resolved to
do it. He was so assured OF his abso-
lutism that he took pains to write a
letter to Attorney General Taft, anent
his speech at Cincinnati, denying his
statements in regard to the affairs of
Mississippi, and asserting that every,
body was safe under the Governor s
full power to protect everybody, and
his determination to do it. Governor
Stone now confesses that this was all
BON bast and false pretence, and that
he has nothing to do with the admin
istration Of justice or the enforcement
Of law, and has no more authority than
any other citizen to bring murderers te
Justice. Governor Stone now confess.
es that Governor Stone of that time
was very shallow pretender.

TIE Wisconsin calls upon "the Re
publcans throughout the state to petit
ton for the removal Of Postmaster
Keyes of Madison"
Mr.. Keyes has seriously offended the
Wisconsin by having been a friend of
Madison and Col. Reynolds in the
matter of the pension agency; and for
this the Wisconsin demands his Of
fetal head. But we have little idea
that because the Wisconsin has made a
fool of itself the Republicans of this
state are going to initiate it's example.
Keyes had as good right to favor
Madison as the Wisconsin, had 30 take
sides with Milwaukee, For having
done this he does not deserve to be
ostracized, personally or politically.
The mistake that the Wisconsin makes
is in supposing that the interest taken
in the matter in Milwaukee was gen.
eral throughout the state; or that the
feeling was all in favor of Milwaukee.
1t may surprise the Wisconsin, to hear
this, and be told that it was regarded
as q scramble between the two cities
for the leaves and fishes in which eth
er side was justified in resorting to ali
honorable means for success. For the
Wisconsin to now illuminate its pro-
auncianento against Senator Howe.
demand the removal of Keyes or IN.
dertake to bulldoze any one else who
favored Madison, entities that paper to
be laughed at.

Elk Gov. HENDRICKS, of Indiana

Elk Gov. HENDRICKS, Of Indiana,
sailed for Europe last week. During
his stay in New York he was dincd
and wined by the Manhattan Club,
many dignitaries of the Democratic
party being present Speeches we're
made by Ex-Gov. Tilden, Hendricks
and others. Both Tilden and Hen
bricks exhibited their wounds received
in the late presidential contest. and
wbined piteousy over their defeat.
Some Of their remarks we're such as to
create an impression in the minds of
people that the great sensation of the
fall congressional season will not be
the expected attack on President
Hayes, but, instead, movement on
the part Of the Democrats to declare
Hayes not elected, and take measures
for the recognition of Tilden. Others
think that the occasion was one having
reference more particularly to the
campaign coming three years
hence, IN which it is supposed both of
the gentlemen named desire to figure
as presidential candidates.

The President and the Civil Service.

most comprehensive statement of Pres.
ident Hayes wishes concerning the
part which Federal officials are TO take
in politics hereafter, which has yet
appeared. The occasion which called
it out was the recent visit Of Collector
Simmons, of Boston, to the President,
made for the purpose of ascertainlng
something definite as to the tenure OF
his office, which it had been rumorea
was to be cut short by removal. The
President announced to Mr.. Simmons
his determination that for the future
his pledge of civil service reform
should be executed to the letter; that
persons in the Federal service should
have no direct come elton with or
participation in the active manage
ment of politics or its machinery /;
that while like other good citizens they
are expected to exercise their choice
of suffrage according to their own will,
after candidates are chosen and issues
made up he did not expect Federal
office holders to be a part of the polit-
ical machinery which manages eau.
cuses, controls conventions and secures
nominations, and that the principles of
the letter written to the Collector of Gus
toms at New York were to be made tb G
general principles of the public service.
Mr.. Simmons also learned that honest,
efficient and capable officers now In the
service. although they had rendered
fealty to the old system of appoint
ments and administration, would not
be removed On that account, but that
on the contrary, as rule, they would
be retained unless written charges
were presented against them and
proved; that the present officers who
are honest and efficient, and who are
willing to accept the conditions OF q
civil service administration and tc
agree TO execute them, will be retained
as better fitted by their experience fol-
the very work at hand.
Mr.. Simmons left the President
fully impressed that the latter is thor
ougbly in earnest, and that hereafter
federal officials are expected to have
nothing to do with politics, except tc
vote. We have no doubt that office
holders, generally, will cheerfully ac.
quiesce in this arrangement. This will
bring to the front that large army OF
disinterested individuals, who are
always standing around and ready and
anxious to do the necessary party
drudgery In getting out the tardy vot-
ers on election day, paying the ex-
penses OF brass bands, hall rent, print
ing and speakers at political meetings,
and making themselvs generally useful
in doing the thousand and one little
things which are necessary, and have
generally been left for performance to
Office holders. Now all this will be
changed, and if there is any one who
has reason to rejoice and feel thankful
to the President for his action, it is the
Government official He is to Do
congratulated on his release from such
duties as we have named, and which
he has heretofore been compelled to
discharge at the risk, if he failed
therein, Of being denounced rs un-
grateful to his party aud unmindful of
its interests.

The Pension Agency.

The controversy over the pension
agency in this state has finally been
settled, and the office located at Mil
waukee with Edward Ferguson as
agent Now that Milwaukee comes
out ahead, it is hoped that the ,Sents-
net and Wisconsin, will be restored to
their senses again and cease their de-
nunciation of Republicans who favored
Madison, and the retention of Col.
Reynolds. We have been unable to
see any wisdom or justice in the course
pursued by the papers named In de-
nouncing all who did not happen to
think as they did upon this question.
Madison people had an equal privilege
with residents of Milwaukee to contest
for the location of the Office and the
appointment of their favorite candidate,
and to carry their point if they could.
Our senators and representatives in
congress, also, had a right to their
preferences, and for having expressed
them, one way or the other, they were
not deserving of abuse from any quart
er. The Sentinel and Wisconsin,
however, seem to have made it per-
sonal matter, assuming that no one was
at liberty to go contrary to the wishes
of Milwaukee. The Madison papers,
SO far as we have noticed, have acted
differently, and permitted the friends
of Milwaukee interests to present their
side of the case without impugning
their motives or questioning their In
tegrity. They have not threatened
their opponents with political annihil.
alton, nor proposed co defeat the Re
publican state ticket this fall if their
plans were thwarted. They contented
themselves with making gallant fight
which, SO far as we have observed, was
conducted fairly and good naturedlv
and now that they are defeated We
presume they will accept the situation
gracefully. This, we suspe ct, is more
than could have been said of the Sen
tinel and Wisconsin, if Madison hao
been victorious. If the contest on the
part of Milwaukee had been managed
with the GOODNESS and moderation which
characterized Madison, it would have
been better for all concerned, and for
the party also. And there would have
been greater cause for general satisfac-
ton than now exists over the result
finally reached, for many good Repub-
licans who were not specially interest
ed one way or the other, are of opinion
that cause which needs to be cham
pioned, as Milwaukee's was, by the
Sentinel and Wisconsin, in personal
abuse Of prominent and leading Repub-
licaus, caLnot be entirely meritorious.

The complete decentralization of the
Democratic party which has been pro-
duced by the Presidents policy in the
managem ent of government affairs is
having damaging effect upon that
organization. It is stated that not long
since a distinguished Democrat in
Connections wrote to prominent poll
,ician of the same faith in Pennsylva-
MIA of follows eve must unqual-
hdly oppose the policy of President
Hayes or we shall lose our ticket in
Connecticut" To which the latter
responded owe must unqualifedly
indorse the policy Of Mr.. Hayes or
abandon our organization in Pennsyl-
vania." The correspondence may or
may not have transpired as reported,
but the condition of things in the
Democratic party is so fairly expressed
therein that if the fact as STAGED is not
true it ought to be.

AN incident occurred at the United
States Military Academy at West
Point last week on the occasion of the
graduating exercises there which will
make the average Democrat turn up
his nose considerably. One of the
graduating class was a colored youth
named Flipper, and his department
and examination were so creditable
that when he stepped forward to re-
ceive his diploma, General Sherman
applauded him with hearty clap Of
the hands. What made the Gen erals
demonstrative act more note worthy was
the fact that the colored cadet was the
only one Of the graduates who was ap-
plauded. The visitors and others
present joined in the Generals hand
clapping.

The Democrat is foolish enough to
suppose that there is a chance for the
election of a Democratic state ticket
this fall, at least it would convey that
idea by the serious tone of an article to
that effect last week We are at loss
to know where the Democrat expects
to get the necessary votes to secure
success. La recent issue, discussing
national politics, it said !:
an fact Mr.. Hayes policy has thus
far come Up to the highest standard of
patriotism, and fulfilled the most ar
dent desires of all good citizens
Now, what more does the Democrat
want !? Why does it expect a MAORI
ity of the people to oppose party
which is giving the country such an
acceptable administration It mis-
takes the sentiment Of the public if it
imagines that the masses of the people
are so blinded by party zeal as to vote
for their nominees. regardless of conse-
quences. The fact is, as stated by the
Democrat, that President Hayes has
so successfully managed public affairs
as TO command the appreciation of all
good citizens, and leave the Democrat.
ic party without single political issue
to fight for. Narrow minded and big.
oted partizans, like the editor of the
Democrat, may stick to their party, but
with the majority of voters the motto
is principles, not men" Hence we
conclude that the Republican party,
through President Hayes, has obtained
such a hold upon the affections of the
people that it is certain of success in
the coming election in Wisconsin.
CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE. when in
South Carolina, recently, holding
court. failed to discover that era of
good feeling which the papers tell US
exists to such remarkable extent in
the South. He was in Charleston
three weeks or more with his daughter
and during all that time not one social
call was made upon either himself or
ner by any of the old citizens. He
was completely ignored by the ex-reb-
els, and treated like an outcast.
