Dr. McAnally, in an article in WHICH
he speaks at length of the unusual phys
ical disturbances whloh have marked
the past year, concludes with these
words:-s'But what Of the extraordinary
disturbances referred to In the first part
of this long articleP Only a word or
two at present. We believe all oosmio
forces with all their phenomena are I'M
der the control of the Omnipotent One,
and their operations are the manifesto
tons Of His power. Why these forces
are operated In this or that particular
way, We do. not pretend to know. 1t
may be that these strange manifestations
Of divine power may also be manifesto
tons OF divine displeasure, and as such
they may say to u.s., as calamities once
said to rebellious Israel, sPrepare to
meet thy God.'" Which admonltion.
we take it's apiopos whether the world
is on the eve of destruction or not. The
end OF thu world for Us. poor mortals. 10
not far off at best, and 1t is we'll always

The attack made by the Journal-D Dem
ocrat upon Hon. VIM. H. Carter was I'm.
generous and uncalled for, and could
hardly have been made had the writer
known the man. Mr.. Carter is a chris
tian gentleman, not only of intelligence
but of education. If he was wrong In
his argument on the normal school ques-
ton, his argument should have been as.
sailed, not his motive. He is a consci-
entious man and he knows pretty we'll
how to represent his constituency. Hav.
ing been tor years an educator, much of
the time principal OF the Dover high
school, he is thoroughly familiar with
the public school system, and an euthu-
siastlc advocate of education for the
masses. He Is not alone in thinking
the normals high schools for their neigh
borhoods, and a charge on the state.
which, if dispensed with altogether, or
restricted, would liberate money which
could more proftably flow to the COM
mon schools and to the university. The
cause of the normals will not be ad-
vanced by i%rrevocably antagonizing such
men as VIM. H. Carter.

IHE American people are somewhat
abJect in their hero worship. The old
Romans apotheosized their great men,
although full of frailties and often having
only the virtue of personal courage. 1t
is so with US. Our gratitude toward
Grant was Of such an extravagant nature
that it was practically admitted the per.
manency of the republic, the reign of
law and order depended upon his taking
the affairs of government in his hands.
Grant had no trair ng in craftsmanship:
he was no statesman, but it was discover
ed that strong hand was needed at the
helm. The people burned incense to
him and the services of every soldier who
took part IN the late war are forgotten
IN the absorbing interest which attaches
to the distinguished soldier who alone
and unaided "put down the rebellion"
In Grants administration there is more
to provoke shame then to awaken admir-.
alton. But the people pinned their faith
to him and are determined to s'call his
evil good" He is constantly making an
exhibition of his egotism and asserting,
virtually that his wishes should be con-
suited in matters pertaining to govern
ment, but the people think it is the
legitimate demands of one who has earn
ed the right to dictate.

A STATESMAN.

The Pilot takes pride In the fact that
it has always maintained that David
Davis is the best, the only example OF
a true statesman in public life to-day.
He has not acted uniformly with any
party. He has not, like Malone, while
lauding his Independence, manifested
his servile adherence to the DEGREES OF
the caucus. Davis has been truly the
third party uniting in himself all that
was best in both and rejecting the bad.
BY acting in opposition to his convictions
,.e might, like Cameron, secure his re-
election, or like Malone, have the dis
tribution of federal patronage. But he
chose to take his conscience as a guide,
and if he does not stand high with the
politicians of the country, he is the idol
of the people who discriminate between
craftsmanship and political trickery.-
His speech of Tuesday in the senate ad.
monishing the democrats to allow the
composition of the committees to remain
unchanged, is a model of manly utter
ance. It is such speech as no other
man in the senate could make.

A CELEBRATED French novelist moral
ICES long and learnedly on that kind OF
cowardice which displays itself when
danger is near, but which will not pre-
vent the commission of crime if punish
ment is not imminent.
A good illustration of this may be
found in Guiteau. He has not the first
element of courage and yet few men
would bear themselves more unconcern-
edly than he does. From his Indifference
one would be disposed to give him credit
for degree of personal courage which
makes him look with contempt on dam
ger But every one knows he is an alb
ject coward. We venture the prediction
that greater exhibition Of a craven spir-
it than Guiteau's, when the time comes
for the execution of the law in his case,
is unknown. For the immediate present
he is safe and he does not look beyond
that. It was the fear of the mob against
which he took precaution on the day
when he shot Garfield A brave man
would not have thought of the mob, but
his mind would dwell on the gallows.
Guiteau is coward but he does not fear
danger until it is near.

THE MESSAGE.

President Arthur's message will make
him friends throughout the United States.
Not that it is marked by any rare degree
of ability or gives evidence of any high
IDEAS of craftsmanship. But it is prac-
tical, candid, straightforward discussion
of affairs as the president sees them
There is nothing RHETORICAL in the mes
sage and no great straining to rise to
moral nights. About the only question
discussed in which the presidents indi-
viduality displays itself is civil service.
1t is quite evident that he is opposed to
basing appointments to government Office
on proficiency shown at competitive ex-
aminations, and eargues strongly against
the system by suggesting difficulties
which will be encountered and pointing
out differences between our government
and that of England which make differ
ences in civil service appointments ne
cessity. He is not SO much opposed to
filling vacancies only by promotions al
though he points out many things in that
method which would make it's adoption
unwise. He is a civil service reformer
though opposed to the views OF those
who are considered par excellence, civil
reformers. Original appointments based
upon ascertained fitness, promotion where
deserved, and stability of tenure, are the
three cardinal principles of reform, and
upon these there is no dispute. But as
to the manner of putting these ideas into
practice there is a wide divergence OF
opinion. The president viii approve Of
any law enacted by congress to secure g
reform of the civil service.
He has some good suggestions 20 make
regarding the treatment of the Indians
and the extirpation of polygamy. The
people would be gratified at more
lengthy if not more pronounced discus
sion of the Star route frauds. He asks
number of pertinent questions relative
to the inability of the president in The
sense used by the constitution with {
view to suggesting The propriety of legal
ly declaring VIXEN inability exists.

Is NOT The Sentinel a little unjust to
Reform Schooll And particularly as
to the manner in which their visits to
that institution are conducted9 The acts
which The Sentinel denounces were per-
petrated under a different board. The
men under whose authority the punish
ment was inflicted are still managing af-
fairs, but it is to be presumed that the
manner of the treatment of the persons
under their charge will be largely deter
mined by the watchfulness and known
wishes Of the board. Severity in re-
formatory institution does not necessarily,
or indeed presumably, indicate insensi.
bility to suffering or brutality. Here
are gathered the worst boys of the state,
every one of whom has been deemed in
corrir;b!e, who could not be managed
by parents or guardians, and who
are deprived of their liberty for the
public good. Youthful law breakers
gone so far on the wrong road that only
the strong hand of the state can manage
them. Can model school be expected
ss..l. ,1,.,irzl ial4 And is not sounrn
punishment often necessity9
But reforms have been instituted un-
der the present board. Floggins and
other indignities have been prohibit
ed and members of the board are watch
full to see that their commands are car
ried out. A long time before The Sen
tinei began its exposure Mr.. Luling in
G, ,,nversation with US told of the changes
of this natn-a which the board was car
rying out. He express sd his opposition
to logging or to any species of pu'" isl=
ment which was degrading, and stated
that more attention was given to the Re-
form School than to any other institution
because here we're young people for
whom there was hope, long life before
them and not yet hardened in vice. He
spoke of the changes that were to be
made and which were being made as
rapidly as possible and of his determine
ton to test kindness as a means of re-
forming. His note book was full of
names of boys with whom he had con-
situations and who would speak to no
man as they did to him unless they were
assured of his friendship and sympathy.
If Supt. Sleep or any other officer con-
nected with the institution has been
guilty of needless cruelty in his treat
ment of the boys under his charge, we
are satisfied his connection with the
institution will come to speedy close.

The people of Durand are becoming a
little sensitive over the criticisms offered
on the verdict of the coroner's jury and
now state TINT there was no inquest held
and no verdict rendered. 1t does not
make much difference. The wrong was
in lynching Williams when he was caught
by the officers of the law. If the mob
had made the capture they might with
some show of reason resort to mob law.
But the cowardice of the act makes it
dishonorable.
