A Political suggestion.

The most unsatisfactory thing in
the political situation in Washington,
in the view of careful observer on
the ground, is the organization of the
House Of Representatives under the
auspices OF Cameron and Robessn,
Speaker Keifer being an instrument
under their control. The arrangement
of the committees means blindness in
Investigations and looseness in appro
prlations. The apparent plan is TO
make flush times for the fellows who
live on the government. The motives
for such a plan are not difficult to dis
cover. Large expenditures necessitate
large revenues, and no arguments are
wanted in favor Of reducing the tariff.
The workers of the party must be
provided for. Now that no real issues
divide the partiee, "the cohesive pow
er Of public plunder must be de-
pended upon to strengthen the Repub-
lican organization. Something must
be done 10 close the mouths of incon-
venient critics, who have not had their
share of the plumber heretofore. The
best hope of the Democratic party
to-day is this tendency OF the Repub-
licans toward extravaganza. Ii the
Democrats would cease to look back
ward, aud form new and vigorous
organization, based on strict limit
of the powers OF the national govern
ment, and economy in its expendi-
lures, they would make strong ap-
peal to tho people, and we should have
the prospect Of beneficent succession.
A searching revision of the tariff and
thorough reform of the civil service
should be included in the practical
policy of such new organism.-Bos-
ton Herald.

On the 7th Of December Governor
Foster delivered an address to the
students Of the Ohio University at
Columbus, in which he 10 reported to
have given them the following ad-
vice: =
al have no doubt those here have
ambitions aud 1t is said that every
Ohio boy expects to be President of
the United States. You are ambi-
tious. As . public man wesld say
to, you, before you seek honors in
public life, be sure you have gained a
foothold in business. No posr man
can afford to 70 ipto politics. 1t Is un-
fortunate that it is thus; but such is
the csse."
So Governor Foster thinks that the
offices and public affairs should be
left exclusively in the hands Of the
rich, and that men who haven't suffi-
cient amount Of wealth to buy votes
and traffic in public Offices should let
politics alone, and give the entire
control Of the country into the care
and keeping Of the men with the
money bags. Well, it is only another
form of expressing the cid Federal
idea, "Take caro- Of the rich, and the
rich will take care of the poor"

Now that the Republicans have con-
troll Of the House, they. are preparing
tn proceed, rs usual, to decide the cleo
ton contests according to their parti-
san inclinati0hs,s without considering
the facts aud. Justice. This was to have
been expected, and the Globe has no
sorrow tO-eXPfees sover the dose about
10 be administered to the Democrats.
When the Democrats controlled the
House they were apuerile enough to
allow the Republicans to overawe
them. They were intimidated and
prevented from deciding contests ON
their merits by the Republican hue
and cry that am outrage was being
attempted. The Republicans always
consider it an outrage TO unseat one of
their gang, and though in minority
in the last Congress. they developed
such an amount of cOwardice among
the Democrats that they carried their
point. Now that the boot Is OH the,
other foot they. openly boast that they
propose to unseat q number OF Demo
crats who were elected by overwhefm-
ing majorities. We hope they willex-
ecute their threat, 1t will give the
Democrats "A taste Of the medicine
which they deserve, and will show
them what q pack of arrant towards
selves to be swerved from dec d ng ac-
cording to the law and evidence, be-
cause their political opponents Shrek
ed fraud. ."'9a Keifer organized his
election committee to.cOnviet, and the
Globe will shed no tears If every Dem-
ocrat whose seat is contested is 0usted.
1t will be q just retributiOn lor the
shamefully co ewardly policy which the
Democrats adopted. Perhaps the DEM
ocrats will learn ywisdOw, from expert
enee, bat probably not. Such y result
is too much to tOexpect.-tSt. Paul Globe.
