National Republican., 1882-11-11

The Republicans in Congress will have
to begin the new work. The people
have ordered legislation concerning the
Civil Service. They are not content with
having the offices held during the pleas
ure of the appoi nting power. They want
fixed tenure, and removals only for
cause. They do not want much ma
chinery, nor will they be willing to see
tests for entrance to the public service
which would rule out the children Of the
poor whose only education is that re-
ceived in the public schools.
All pressure upon otiiceholders for po-
Iitical contributions should be forbidden
by law. If there has been none, as we
claim is the case, then the legislation will
be no reflection on the managers of the
recent campaign. If there has been such
pressure, then the legislation will but
meet the righteous demand of the people
Congress must also make great reduc-
ton in taxation. The internal revenue
system and the taritfshould both undergo
radical changes. By the acts of the Re-
publicans at the coming session will their
fitness to grasp the situation be judged.
We should consider good while be-
fore advising any vengeance on Repub-
lcans because of anything that has oc-
Cured. The incorrigible enemies of the
party should not be recognized as Re-
publicans at all but all who do not de-
mand price, and who are opposed to
the common enemy, can certainly find
comfortable room in our not over
crowded household. If Senators and
members make up their minds not to be
badgered by office-seekers into badger
ing the President and the departments,
all can have time for reflection, and
work upon matters OF some consequence.
To spend any of the precious time Of the
next short session in "getting even"
with anybody, or soliciting f1vors for
friends, would be fddling while Rome
burned.
Republicans who are unwilling to
abandon the work of establishing Re
publican form of government wherever it
is now denied in this country, and who
wish TO promote education, regard for
law, and the general welfare, will not
hesitate to yield old ways and opinions
on other and lesser matters in order to
National Republican., 1882-11-11

But if there can be found man of the
highest order of intellect, well versed in
the science of government, long accus-
toned to public affairs, learned in consti-
tutional law, sound to the core on equal
rights, trusted by the most exacting on
questions of currency and revenue, SO
pure and upright that not an enemy has
ever thought questioning his integrity,
free from all part in any of the exciting
controversies in the party, conspicuous
for a sturdy independence of character
that would guarantee him against
any control by, or leaning toward
any faction-if such man as we have
described can be named he would grow
upon the general judgment as the man
under whose pilotage we could yet sail
our ship safely between the Scylla of po-
litical dictatorship and the Charybdis of
Bourbon restoration. If we have an
American who combines all the elements
named he will be found.

The Political Situation.

The voice of the people may not al
ways be the voice of God, but it is in
this country the voice of supreme COM
mand. The conclusions at which they
arrive are such as their average judg-
ment draws from the facts as they un-
derstand them. 1t will not avail to
complain too long, because falsehoods
have been substituted for facts as to
many men and many things. This is
only useful to the limited extent that
false witnesses may be thereby discred-
tied in the future. The duty of the hour
among Republicans is to realize what
has taken place, to accept with COM
mon sense the lesson it teaches,
to cease recriminations, and to wait
for the people to form some opinion and
make it known as guide for the future.
We believe that the millions who have
hitherto maintained Republication en-
brace by far the most patriotic, virtuous,
reliable, and progressive portion of the
people. We believe that the criminal
and dangerous classes are, as rule, en-
braced in the Democratic party.
If the Republican party leaders will
exhibit the rare quality of self-abnega-
ton and will make no effort to save their
individual political fortunes at the ex-
pense of the whole concern, and if they
will determine not to attempt the re-
building of any mere factional dynasty,
then out of this nettle defeat it will
pluck the flower victory. If just men
suffer because of Misrepresentation they
should bravely endure it temporarily
rather than add to the present discon-
tent by useless explanations. If State
leader is for time covered with obloquy,
which his adherents deem wholly unpro-
voked, he should bow to the storm until
it abates, and urge his followers to keep
the peace.
Turbulent and dictatorial editors claim
ing to be Republicans ought now to wrestle
with themselves for better frame of
mind. Those who have intended to tell
the truth, and those who have intended
to defame and misrepresent the objects
Of their wrath, can now see, unless they
are blind, that their combined efforts
were feeble in controlling the great cur
rent of opinion. The querulous COM
plants about who got Office and who did
not, what clerk was removed and for
what, who gave money to the campaign
fund and who did not-all these secured
Just as sound drubbing for the one side
of the party as for the other. The people
found our party solely engaged in strife
over their offices, and they scourged
sins" and "outs" with unsparing impair
tiality.
1t matters not who has been most
blameworthy, or who of the combatants
within our party are blameless alto
gether; certain it is that to-day we stand
under notice to quit if we have nothing
different to offer.

National Republican., 1882-11-11

INTO minority whenever the majority
IS Indifferent to, or opposed to the main
tenance of political equality or equal
civil rights throughout the land, but it
has no pride Of opinion as to mere mat
ters of administration, and no attach
ments to any man or set of men which
could make it lukewarm in the work now
at hand of rebuilding the Republican
party.
There is no present need of leader.
First let the inflammation go down under
the soothing influences of exhaustion.
We are ridiculously weak. The New
York disaster is not greater proportion
ately to the number of votes in the State
than that in Michigan, and not as great
as in Massachusetts and Kansas. The
States carried by the Democracy this
year will, in 1884, cast $40 of the 40l
electoral votes of the whole country.
They have carried Northern States
having 1859 electoral votes and South
ern States having 141. The States
carried by the Republicans will next
year cast seycnty-nine electoral votes,
viz: Illinois, %; Iowa, 13; Maine, 6;
Minnesota, 2; Nebraska, 8; New Hamp-
shire, 4 /; Rhode Island, 4; Vermont
Wisconsin, II; Oregon, 3. The anti
Bourbons carried Virginia, which has ~
electoral votes. The People have rebuked
the Republicans in New York, Pennsyl-
vania, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana,
Kansas, Massachusetts,, Michigan, and
Ohio. Stalwarts" and HalfBreeds
have gone down together. The States
lost by the "Stalwarts have 60 electoral
votes. The States lost by the "Half-
Breeds" have so electoral votes. We
make these figures for the benefit of any
who may still labor under the delusion
that either faction will constitute party
large enough for success in 1884.
We are of the opinion that the sober
second thought of the people will set
them to the task of first eliminating presi-
dental candidates. They will want 10
faction leader, no man who has exasper-
ated any large number of Republicans.
They will want no man who loudly de-
mands the place or who has any idea
that he himself constitutes cause. They
will not be willing to risk the contest on
any man who has ever lost his head or
his conscience. They will not desire to
accuse nor to vindicate anybody. Hav-
ing refused to accept any of the men
urged upon them by furious partisans of
either faction, they will, with that hesi-
tation which makes burned children
dread the fire, set aside all suggestions of
small men who may be paraded as having
no ascertained faults. Dumb respecta-
bility will no sooner recapture the neces-
sary hundred and eleven of the electoral
votes taken from us by the enemy last
Tuesday than would leader of the
disorganization.

the sam qualifications as the doctors
themselves and able to do a part of their
work, how can he then think that the servi-
ces ofsuch persons could be obtained at a
less salary, than is paid to the doctors
themselves, or does he think that such
services could be had for the same wages
as are paid to a church clerk A.?
Before concluding these remarks We
would say that a staff Of Sick-nurSeS duly
trained at one or other of our public hos.
pitfalls would undoubtedly be of very great
value, especially in the country districts,
and particularly with reference to the
saving of infant life, now SO tearfully
wasted among our labouring population.
We regret to say that we find some incon-
s~istency in the tone of Mr.. Dodsworth's
letter, the expression of esteem for both
Il doctors and the acknowledgement Ct
the heavy work they have to do being in
bad harmony with other rather uncharita-
bic remarks.
, 1882-11-01

We must confess that we do not agree
with the reverend gentlem nal whose letter
we publish above, further than that doc
tors for l. 1000 people would be an INSULT
Gent proportion. Although Mr.. Dods-
worth's statement is not quite correct
on this point, for the town of Chris

longing to same, according to the last
census only number 9,S12 persons, still
he may be right in thinking even this
too much for two doctors. But when
he thinks that the public want of which
he complains can be easily satisfied he
ought to have pointed out in what way;
but this we fail to see that he has done.
II is true that Mr.. Dodsworth in the cOnclu-
sion ofhis letter hints to the dOctors that they
should Get assistants. But we are not
unite aware, what Mr.. DodswOrth's meaning
is withregard to these doctors assistants. If
he means persons without medicalan and surgi-
cal education, who still could render ser
vice as ~sicknurSeS, then we do not see that
the public want would be quite satisfied in
this way although the attention to the sick
would be greater, the doctors would have
nearly the same number of sick persons to at
tend to; and if he means persons withproper
medical and surgical education, that is with

He did call however in the evening, but all

The answer is that the poor who cannot
pay have learnt how excessively busy the
doctor nearly always is; and they are
consequently afraid to intrude, unless very
keenly aroused by danger to make an
effort to get his help.

port, they also find themselves compelled
to employ several assistants, a few salaried,
and many volunteers; whereas neither of
the doctors has any assistants, unless the
