THE MONITOR AND lIERRI.MAC C.

Weare naturally predisposed to favor every
measure to give their due to the survivors of
the late Civil War. But when a claim can
only be sustained by falsifying history, the
truth should be. maintained. Senator Logan
is entirely right in attacking the principle of
prize money as wrong. Yet SO long as the
law gives the Navy prize money that law
should be respected. The law is so unjust
in its operation that il either ought to be re-
pealed or some means adopted to give cor
responding rewards for gallantry TO soldiers.
The claim of the crew of the Monitor for
mac, does not seem to rest upon good
grounds. The Monitor did not capture the
Merrimac, nor destroy her, and it is only
actual capture or destruction which gives title
to prize money. The contention that the
Merrimac was really disabled by the Monitor
we believe to be wholly unfounded. After
the action she sailed back into port and
sailed out again on subsequent days, and the
Monitor did not meet her TO renew the ell
gagement. We understand that the chief
idllldk5c puoNaihpp ~ Nii' iiciiiui"N hbS hil'
wrench her badly fastened on ram
received in disengaging itself from the
eide of the Cumberland after the
thrust which sank that vessel. If we
are correct in this theory that the Merri-
macs principal injury was sustained in
ramming the Cumberland, the Monitors
claim of prize money is as baseless in equity
as it is in law. Her officers and crew are
unquestionably entitled to credit for gallan-
try in the action, but they prOGted at the
time by the sense of relief from the dread
the Merrimao inspired, assisted by sensa
tional newspaper accounts of the affair, 81
that their achievement has always held IN
the popular mind higher rank than II viii
finally hold in history. The real undyinG
glory of the naval contests in Hampton
Roads in 1862 will always belong to the
gallant Smith and his men who died by
scores on the Congress, and fought her until
grounded, disabled, and ON fire, hope haC
fed, and TO the heroic rNTris and his crey
who went down in the Cumberland, will
the nag dying alolt, firing a last broadsid
as the water was entering the muzzles O
their guns.

THE uneasy talk about "a new party I"
generally crops out along with other green
things in the spring. Patk, the American
caricaturist, represents this bright angel
leading Purity and Reform hand in hand out
of the Sodom and Gomorrah of the old
parties. The notion that all the good men
will some time coalesce into one beautiful
band and leave all the bad men gnashing
their teeth in hopeless minority has often
been entertained but experience proves
that the good men are no more likely to agree
in their convictions about means and ends
than the worst Of us, and that they are more
| apt TO Join forces with the bad men who hap,
pen 10 agree with them than other good
menwho don't. As for the professional poll,
ticians, does not Emerson tell us that they
are simply as bad as the people will let then
bs-no better, but no worsei No class car
reform with more ludicrOus Tapidity when
there Is demand for that sort of goods in
the market. To add to this, il is doubtful
whether there are ever more than two parties
in Countrywide innovatorB and the con
Beryatiyes. Between the two, in normal
times, progress goes ON at a safe and steady
pace. New names for these eternal princi
pies are not likely to do very much good tC
the parties embodying them. What is al
ways needed is a reform in the personnel
good men to the front and bad men to Tia,
rear. This year we are likely to train undel
the old banners of Democrat A." and "Re
"publican " respectively, as usual.

THE HERETOLTAGAINSTBOS

Slowly it is beginning to dawn upon the
public mind that the great bolt against " the
machine" " in Pennsylvania is inspired by
something stronger than mere dissatisfaction
at the distribution of the offices. Moral dig
nifty surrounds and builds up any movement
inspired by real desire to correct the evils
which have crept into our methods of carry
ing on popular government by means of par
ties, so that we are now governed by party
which is maintained in power by the unscru-
pulous abuse of public trusts and the use of
the common Treasury for partisan advantage,
while the same dominant party is by similar
methods kept firmly within the control of a
cabal of unscrupulous leaders. Under the
machine systemit is self, evident that hon
orable and hgh-minded men have no chance
whatever i'll competition with the
Bosses" The convention of Independ-
ents at Harrisburg last week was strong in
numbers, character, and enthusiasm. Civil
Service reformers and good citizens every
where can only bid "God speed " to men
who proclaim doctrines like those of the
third and fourth resolutions of this Conven-
tion, which read as follows:
We denouuce the system which makes "patron-
age'' and 'spolls " out OF the public Offices; de-
nounce the practice Of giving them to political man
ayers for use In advancing personal political ends
we denounce the removal Of faithful and competent
officers In the absence Of public reason we denounce
the practice OF levying assessments and demanding
contributions for party from public odcials we
denOunce seyeray and collectively the evils and cor
| ruptlons which accompany the conduct OF the Gov
ernment as "spOls system, and which are insep-
| arabic from such method OF administration, AMI We
denounce'the system of boss ruIe'' and machine
control - which, when tamely endured makes lead
into political bondage. We declare purpose TO
take up tho work which fell when Garfield fell; we
demand iu place OF the spolls system the Tcfor-
nation Of the civil Service by law, that the ap-
pOlntlye places therein may he freely opened all at
and Industrious citizens and removals lheTerom shall
be only for good and sufficient public causes; we de-
mand instead Of the prostitution Of the public service
to private us0s Its recognition as high and honor
able trust, to DO administered for the peopo's benefit
with efficiency, economy, and Integrity; we demand
Instead Of the nsOlenCe, the prescription, and tile
| tyranny OF ''bossism' and 4" machine rule the
free and conscientious exercise OF private judgment
In political affairs and the faithful discharge by those
| who assume representative trust of the expressed
| will OF the people.
