New-York tribune., 1881-12-24

these gentlemen represent in any degree the
active influential and controlling element IN
their respective States to-day, though six or
eight wears ago it might have been said Of
them. Judge FOlger occupied for brief
period position of Importance III the Ifeas-
ury DEPARTMENT years ago, and has served with
honor on the bench, but has beer by no means
an active participant in public affairs for years
past Mr. Brewster, lawyer OF Philadelphia
distinction, has not at any time been active in
public affairs. If the Cabinet should stand as
reports indicate that it may, it will represent
quite well political state of things which
ceased to exist about eight years ago.
1t would be unjust to condemn Cabinet i'll
advance, merely because it is largely composed
of men who have been retired from public life
by the people who knew them best, and who
had formerly raised them to high positions.
Such changes would he natural if a political
party, after years of defeat had just been re-
stored to power by the popular vote. The
choice OF men who were high in place and
power before its defeat would then be simply
a recognition Of the changed decision Of the
peopIc. 1t would be q fitting expression OF their
latest will. ButthC Republican party has not been
out OF power. In each OF the States formerly
represented in the Senate by gentlemen above
mentioned, the Republican party has filed the
same and other high Offices since their retire
ment. 1t has chosen two Senators in Massa-
chusctts, two in Wisconsin and one in New
jersey since McssrS. Boutwell,, Howe and Ere
lmghuy~en were retired, and, though free to
choose, did not see fit to send them back. IL
is therefore no injustice to them or to the
President, but the naked statement OF fact
to say that these gentlemen do not represent the
latest expressions Of public opinion, nor the lat
est preferences OF the Republican party in the
States from which they come. They represent
political state Of things to which the people
decided years ago to put an end, and which
they have not yet manifested any desire to
revive.
We have Il distinct rcactionary movement
which the people have not authorized, aud
which is against the latest and most emphatic
expressions of their will. In spite of this, the
people will he disposed to judge the President
and his Administration fairly and kindly
They desire that he may succeed, and heartily
commend some excellent things that he has
done. If good work and good government
come from men who have not OF late enjoyed
public confidence in the highest degree not
the less will the people appreciate and applaud
the results attained. But it would be "A mis-
take To overlook the fact that the Presi-
dents selections manifest tendency dis
tinctly adverse to the declared viii of the
people, and to the wishes Of majority of the
Republican party. This fact will make it less
easy for his Administration TO command pub
lie confidence if its work should prove at any
important point to deserve serious criticism.

of warnings. 1t seems an utterly hopoie''
quest
Yet is there anyone who supposes that THESE
warnings will be needed or the quest Tor the
Pole abandoned? 1t is more likely that the loss
Of the Jeanette will directly promote reneWeu
effort in that direction. On the night Wheil
the news of the disaster came, retired naVai
officer who had made strenuous efforts 10 ac-
company the expedition, and had only been
rejected on the score of physical weakness,
was heard to exclaim: "Ah! if L could
only have been with them!" The failure
or the cruise and the terrible snitenngS
of the explorers-cven the possible loss
of a whole boats crew-could not chill
an ardor for Arctic adventure which had been
created by u single year OF active work IN
search of the Polaris. The Ice King OF the
North works mystic spell on the hearts OF
oIl who venture within his domains. There Is
something in the mystery Of the unexplored
in that land of shadow and desoation that eX-
erciscs an ind-hnabc fascination upon the
restless spirit Of man. There is only one way
in which to brine the struggle to reach The
Pole TO an end. Somebody must succeed III
doing il. So long as it remains undonc, the
nhanlom quest will be taken up again and
again For in this, as in all other objects OF
human cndcayor, "man setteth IN end to dark
ness and searcheth out all perfection

PROGRESS BAChWARD.

President Arthur's right to select his Cab
met advisers to please himself has not been
disputed. The selections made or fOreshadOwed
have been criticised closely by the public but
ONLY as giving indications of the sort Of Ad-
ministration which the President means to
have Nearly all the Cabinet officers have been
selected. They are men of respectable ability,
of untarnished reputation, and of fair stand
ing in the Republican party. The one thing
that particularly distinguishes this Cabinet
thus far is that It's face is set toward
Yesterday. 1t is not composed of new
and untried men. On the contrary, it
is mainly composed of men who have
had their day Such a selection, on the part
OF a President commencing n term of office, is
sufficiently unusual to attract attention. A
President generally aims to surround himself
with strong and active men who hold "A con-
trolling influence in public affairs in different
sections President Garfield selected three
United States Senators, then everywhere re-
cognized as men of large influence and active
participation in affairs a Judge Of the Court
of Claims the successful Postmaster in the
largest city of the country, and two
woll-known and distinguished lawyers in
the prime of life. But the preference OF Pres-
dent Arthur appears to turn largely toward
men who have served in the Senate, and have
been retired from that body by the people.
Mr. Frelinghuysen was a Senator from New
Jersey, and Mr. Howe from Wisconsin. Ac-
cording to report, it is likely that the Secrc-
tary of the Navy may be Mr.. Boutwell, who
was a Senator from Massachusetts,. Eight
years ago, all these were in the Senate to.
gether. But Messrs. Howe and Boutwell, were
retired years ago to make room for other Re
pubcans, and Mr.. Frclinghuysen to make room
for a Democrat. 1t cannot be said that

go, sport attends and mirth follow after.
What is famel French paper, published az
Worcester Mass. refers to "The visit of tho cele-
brated American tragedian, Robert Booth" and
assures its readers that the success which he
gained last year in that city, is n guarantee that
he will do well. The actor thus encouraged by the
Gaul of Worcester, Mass, is Edwin Booth.
The Rev. George C. Min has addressed to The
Cbicqqo Times q letter touching upon a sermon
against the Stage preached in that city by the Rev.
Dr. Herrlck johnson. The assertions made by the
Rev Dr. johnson appear to have been Of that loose
general and absurd kind 10 which clergymen are adj
dcted who know nothing about the stage, yet in
list on denouncing it. The Rev. Mr.. Min takes
needless trouble II confuting the Idle aspersions Of
the Rev. DIR. johnson, whose remarks never would
have been heard Of if they had not been answered.
In closing his letter the Rev. Mr. Min writes fo-
lows: go to the theatre myself. Dnring the past
week have seen Mr. Lawrence Barrett in his new
and noble play, 'PendraGou.' 1t inspired me with
chivarOus emotions. II stirred my pity. lt aroused
my sense Of Justice. II gTaritied my dr9matic in

light and exhibited the men OF other days IN their
habits IS they lived | thank MT. Barrett and his
author. Mr.. Young for this noble picture. | thank
John Mccullough for mauy pleasant evening. And

Now that the President has given the couu-

Ifhs seat cannot be declared vacant ana lie
Will not resign, why not repeal the retirlng
pension law, for the time being at least ] Ii
there ought to be suchIa law, let new one De
passed, properly worded to guard against cases
of this nature. Let Judges pension be con-
ditioned on his having served ten years, not on
his "having held his commission" for that
time, as the present law is phrased. True, the
Constitution says the compensation OF Judge
shall not be increased or diminished during his
continuance in Office, but this ought no. 10
prevent repeating the pension law IL adequate
reason arose, any more than it prevented pass
ing it. The pension is not part OF the Judges
Compensation but an added sratulty. Ana
repealing the law does not affect him during
his continuance in Office but takes effect al
terward. My, If one and Ill Of these steps
are irnpracticablc, it would be wise to grant
the pension ut once, bid the incumbent 20 IN
peace, and Gll the post anew, rather than let
the Court, Gurdened as it is, 80 haItlng until
the ten years have elapsed.
