Indeed appointments should never be
made except where competency is
proven beyond doubt. Nor has it
to do with malfeasance of office. as
removal in such case should be in
Simultaneous.
Every man may aspire to any office
in the gift of the people or of the ap-
pointing power, but he must learn
that the very acceptance of office i'm
plies that he may be called upon to
lay down its duties and its emolu-
ments, and to resume his place with
his fellow-cltizens in the private
ranks of life, whenever his place can
be filed by another person more in
sympathy with the majority. Pres
ident Hayes seems to find it no hard
ship to return to private life, with an
anxious desire to do just what his
hand may find to do, and the same
thought should be in every Office.
holding mind. He has left the ranks
of private life to enter the public ser.
vice, but he must always face the
possibility of being obliged to leave
that and to tread once more the path
way Of duty in private life. The
amount of disadvantage that such a
change may be to him should be
contemplated before he leaves private
pursuits, but the possibility that it
will come should be fully realized.
Competency and honesty, conjoin-
ed to sympathy with the party in
power, and acceptability to the peo-
pie, may be required to ensure official
position. This may be of definite
duration so long as the conditions
precedent to the appointment con-
tinue, but when any of those disap-
pear, it will be better for the people
that some one else should be called
upon to take the place of the effice-
holder, and his tenure of Office then
and there ceases for cause.

Actual political hostilities have be-
gun, though the Governor has given
only a partial signal. Amidst the
distressing silence of the leaders, the
organs have sounded the slogan, and
the war is actually in progress. Sec
rotary of State Briscoe while in Bal
timore on Friday of last week stated
that Governor Hamilton is being
importuned by public men from all
sections of the country to issue his
proclamation defining his policy.
Another friend of the Governor states
that the document was prepared
three weeks ago, and adds that he
could not account for the delay in its
PRONUNCIATION. Gov. Hamilton does
not like to speak about it. He dis
likes to have it spoken of as "uhe
bombshell," and will never forgive
the authors for applying this name
to it. His friends insist that it is
coming, and his foes maintain that if
it ever makes its appearance, it will
be too late to do much good. In the
meantime the Hagerstown organ of
the Hamilton wing, and the Annap-
oils organ of the managers, have
already opened fire upon each other.
Last week the Hagerstown Mail was
warlike and fierce against the bosses,
and the Annapolis Republican ten
dered the Governor the olive branch.
This week they have reversed their
positions. The Republican splits fire
and birthstone, 1t accuses the Mail
of having been one of the recipients
of the ''press subsidy" since 1872. and
that for publishing the laws of the
sessions of 1872, 1874, 1873 and 1880 it
received S5,377.50, out of which sum
the "Coltons" were paid S400 for
printing them, and the Hagerstown
Mail drew the balance of S4,977 so,
for which, as the Republican charges,
they neither set one type nor made a
revolution of their press. 1t calls
upon the Mail to return the latter
amount to the State treasury, and
then The Republican makes this con-
fession: "For ourselves, we never
pretended to have more honesty than
the law allows, and while some peo-
pie are 'bulling' the market with
their honesty, we have always had
to fight upon short line"

What is called the Governors
"bombshell" bursted on Tuesday,
since the writing of an article on that
subject which appears elsewhere in
the editorial columns of this issue. A
perusal of the "bOmbshell' will show
that we were correct in not expecting
much from the Governor.
1t is very weak bombsell-in fact
it is not good squib. 1t is very
much like an over-advertised circus
when it comes everybody is disap-
pointed. 1t didn't surprise any one,
for it is only part of what was made
known to the people through the Re-
publican papers at different times
during the last few years, hence it
dosen't even possess the recommen-
dation of originality.
1t is the truth, no doubt, but not
the whole truth.
If the Governor cannot get up more
destructive missiles than this one he
had better quit the business and let
his brave and handsome Adjutant
General conduct the wars of his reign.

Tenure of Office.

In a monarchical form of govern
ment, where privileged classes con-
stitute necessary element, one can
readily admit that there might be
tenure of Office co-extensive with life.
In Republic, however, where every
citizen is eligible-if otherwise fitted
for Office, and where the pursuits of
private life are those of paramount
importance for the development and
prosperity of the country, such ten
ure has the tendency to lessen the
sence of responsibility, to weaken
sympathy with the majority of the
people, to diminish efficiency, and to
produce feeble and INDECENT spirit.
Changes are necessary, not on the
principal-that to "the victors belong
the spoils. but because the chief
officers of government should be in
full sympathy with its Executive and
the line of policy that the majority
has marked out. How far such chan
ges should extend, how many of the
rank and file should be subject to re-
moval because of lack of sympathy
with the dominant party, lisa question
that cannot be answered in the alb
stract. Where these are not antago-
nistic and combative, public utility
may MAKE it desirable to retain
them ; but where they employ their
official position TO interfere with the
success of the policy of the admins
tratiSn, it would seem to be simple
prudence to fill their places with those
more kindly disposed.
Necessarily, all this has nothing to
do with competency orincompetency,
as tenure of Office should be as brieI
~ possible where the latter exists

Our Democratic friends will find it
rather difficult to explain their pro-
LESSONS of economy and reform in
view OF tine fact that the appropria-
tons of the last Congress exceeded
those Of any previous fiscal year by
six millions of dollars. Acts, not
words, are the true test OF party's
honesty; and by this test the Demo-
cracy have already been tried and
condemned. The financial record of
the Ferty-sixth Congress will help
largely to confirm the people in the
opinion that their verdict was not a
mistake.

The much talked of Gubernatorial

The much talked of Gubernatorial
bombardment of the ring managers
seems now about to commence. In
deed it is thought that the fuse is
lighted. and that in few days bomb
shells will be bursting thick and fast
in the Democratic camp. A Hamil-
tonian newspaper published at Fa-
gerstOwn leads off, by direction of
the Governor, no doubt, with an arti-
Gle calculated to whet the appetite of
the hungry expectant multitude who
have SO long and patiently awaited
the Governors long promised expose
of the true inwardness Of ring rule in
Maryland. The article charges the
ring with "wrecking" nearly every
branch of the service which they con-
troll; that the "oyster navy" is a po-
litical machine and a nuisance, and
used for the purposes Of controlling
primary meetings in the interest of
the ring; that the canal is made to
take part in low machine politics,
and that its management has run
down to the lowest possible point !;
that they have depleted the treasury {;
that they have wrecked the sinking
fund and fiagrantly outraged the law
and the Constitution in this respect !;
that the last legislature curtailed no
expenses, abolished no Offices, and
that its expenditures were scandalous
and a knowledge of their details
shocking; that the excuses of the
legislature under the manage
ment of these men are as bad as the
worst species of carpet-bag govern
ment in the South or Tweed rule in
New York that the legislative
printing for the last twelve or thir-
teen years was between $500, 900 and
$500, 900, while before the war it cost
only from $1,000 to $4,000.
Coming, as this does. from Demo-
cratic authority, its truth cannot be
doubted, and we may reasonably in
fer that the half has not been told,
and in fact, we need not expect a full
exposition of the crookedness of ring
rule from Democratic sources. We
do not expect any very serious bonn
bardment of the ring by the Cover
nor. He has wasted too much time
ami ammunition in useless talk Of
what he intends to do, and his wrath
and indignation seems to be escaping
in this way. The Governor is, in our
opinion, as prone to "boss'' rule as
are those whom he attacks, and is
angry because he is not the boss.
Notwithstanding the seemingly
Yirtuous indignation of the Governor
and his cliaue the German ring aCiil
