THE REPUBLICAN, SURRENDER.


The selection of that ancient fossil, Mar
shall Jewell, of Connecticut, as chairman of
the Republican national committee, is an
unconditional surrender of the party. 1t is
confession that there is no use in making
more than formal opposition to the Demo-
cratic candidates. Mr.. Jewell is clever
enough old gentleman, and quarter of q
century ago was something of figure in the
local politics of Connecticut. His party
picked him up as its candidate for governor
when the Democratic party was hopelessly
divided and disorganized, and he was elected.
His administration was unsuccessful, and at
the close of his term he retired to the seclu-
sion which mediocrity grants. He was
called from his obsourity by President
Grant, however, and given the place of post
master general. He soou developed his in
capacity, however, and Grant was compelled
"With great regret" to accept his resignation.
Since then he has striven to force himself
upon his party for almost every Office that
happened to be vacant.
His selection as chairman of the RepubIi-
can committee will be accepted by the Grant
wing of the party as slap in the face-a re-
buke to Grant for allowing him to confess
his incapacity. 1t is further a surrender to
the Democrats, for the least astute of Repub-
lican politicians know that he has neither or
ganiziDg capacity nor public confidence. He
is merely nonentity, and will scarcely be a
respectable figure head. The Democrats
have no reason to complain, but there will
be weeping and waillng and crashing of
teeth among the stalws.ts.

TEE NEXT ADmINIsrRArIoN.

When Gen. Hancock assumes the Presi-
Dental chair on the fourth of March, 1880,
We may expect to witness revolution in the
manner of conducting this government that
the people will hail with delight as an augury
of better days to come. Tie people have
every reason to believe that he is possessed
of superior executive ability and much indi-
viduality. A man who, for the whole period
of his manhood, has been accustomed to the
government of large bodies of men will not
prove deficient when called to more exalted
sphere, but Will act with the same wisdom
and discretion, the same fearlessness that
have won for him his present exalted station.
President Hancock's first duty will be to
select his ministerial advisers. This he
will find no difficult task. The Democracy
of the country contains many eminent men
who are capable of taking charge of the sew
eral departments and administering their
duties to their own credit and the profit of
the country. He will have no difficulty in
finding them. His greatest task will be to
discriminate between many men equally
worthy. That he will make wise choice
does not adult of doubt, for he has had a
large experience with men and is keen
Judge of human nature. He will have few
debts of gratitude to pay, and is therefore
practically untrammelled. He will select
statesmen of recognized ability to assist him
in administering the government, and from
them he will receive the heartiest eo-opera-
ton in reforming every branch of the civil
service.
He will find all the offices filled with par
tisans, who have for many years plundered
the treasury for their own personal profit,
and to maintain their own party in power.
These will be required to step down and out,
and to give place to men who will conduct
the affairs of their Office with economy and
faithfulpess. Some of them may dislike to
60, and the President may be overrun with
a host of applicants for every position with
in his gift. Yet he has the firmness to resist
ell opportunities and to confer his favors
upon those who are proved to be honest and
capable.
He will find that many reforms are needed
in the public service, and upon him will de-
volve the duty of selecting men to carry
them out. He must appoint such men to
oversee the revenue department as will see
that the service is honestly and economically
administered. It is notorious that there are
thousands of men holding sinecure positions
in this. branch of the servioe-that it has
become a hospital for the care of
inArm and broken down politicians of every
description, who have in the past rendered
some service to the Republican party. These
must be turned out to SHIFT for themselves,
for the government has all it should be
called upon to do in caring for those who
are legitimate pensioners on its bounty. The

SINGULAR OCCURRENCE.

accidental Shooting Handed Down from
Father to Son.
remarkable accident took place on Rice
street yesterday morning, which almost has
about it the singular coincidence of fate.
The public has been fully informed of the
accidental shooting and subsequent death of
Mr.. Thomas Gallagher, whose funeral took
place last Wednesday. Yesterday morning
q young son of the deceased was shot in the
right arm in almost similar manner.
About 10 o'clock young John Gallagher
was playing on Rice street with lad named
Henry Sweeney. The latter carried Fourth
Of July pistol, supposed to have been loaded
with blank cartridge. In play he placed the
revolver up to young Gallagher's arm and
pulled the trigger.
The result was that Gallagher sustained an
ugly wound in the right arm near the shout
der. The cartridge or ball passed through
the lads clothing and made q hole in his
arm as big as the unpointed end of q lead
pencil.
The wound bIed profusely and the lad was
brought down town where he was attended
by DR.. Quinn. The latter probed the wound
but could find no ball. The wound was
either made by ball or the tough sequent
of the exploded cartridge. 1t is thought that
the injury will not result in anything ser
ious.
