spirit of representative government
is weakest and most nearly ex-
tinguished is where they hold most
absolute sway. Civil-Service Reform
in its true, genuine, bipartisan spirit
is desirable consummation, and the
abuses which attach to the admins
tration Of this service, of every kind
and description, cannot be too soon
or too thoroughly corrected. But it
would be absurd to relegate so un-
selfish and patriotic reform to a
party whose leaders have never exhib-
tied any practical aptness for SO high
a trust, or to attach any serious i'm
portance to the interested appeals
which its press is sounding in our
ears. 1t would be like the preposter-
Gus undertaking of gathering grapes

to the class. Regarded, however, as
one manifestation Of what appears
to be growing tendency among the
young men in our colleges, the in
cident has its serious aspects. 1t is
impossible to regard without some
apprehension the frequent cases of
resistance to college discipline-var-
ious in form and in apparent provo
cation. but one in spirit-which
have constituted part Of the current
news of late. These young men are
to be citizens; many of them will be
makers, expounders or executors of
the law. 1t is far from reassuring to
find prevalent among them a spirit
Of lawlessness, which flashes up. into
revolt upon slight proyocation, or
upon no provocation at all. Under
no conceivable circumstances can
the administration of our educational
institutions be suffered to pass from
the hands of Faculties and Trustees
into those ofthe students. Injustice
will sometimes be done, but it will
not be helped by courses which are
subversive of all order. A good
topic for Baccalaureate addresses in
these times would be The Duty of
Cheerful Obedience to Recognized
Authority.

The Lever asks "should David H..
Jerome be reelected Governor of
Michigan ?" Most emphatically we
say yes, for in all her history, and
with all her able and popular Govern
ors, Michigan never had a better
Governor than is Hon. David III.
Jerome. Because it is true that
che has been successful in pleasing
the people since he came into office. )"
Yes, because he has risen above
petty party jealousies and treated all
classes with courtesy" And he
should not be denounced by the
Lever or the Alliance, or charged
with being hostile to temperance
legislation until they can show some
better reason than that for some
reason good and sufficient, beyond
all question, he and Mrs. Jerome
did not find it convenient to attend
a temperance social, held in public
Hall, and to which the public were
promiscuously invited; and did not
deem an invitation to such a gather
ing one that required regrets to be
sent, in case of non-attendance. At
least, we presume so, for we person
ally know Gov. Jerome to be true
gentleman who would not under any
circumstances fail to meet all just
and proper social requirements.
And that and that alsne is the sum
total of the complaints against Gov.
Jerome, and that has no bottom to
stand upon.

mary object, but at the same time it
has been equally we'll established
that it is the duty of the government
so to discriminate in The levying of
these duties as, without permitting any
failure to provide the necessary am
cunt of revenue, to give the greatest
encouragement possible to all the in
dustrial pursuits of our people in all
parts of the country. And there is
no mistake about the fact being, that
due regard to justice and to the
true principles of national economy
demand that the working men and
women Of this country shall not be
degraded to the European standard
of labor. Now is there any doubt
that the only way to prevent that
from becoming their condition is to
continue in active operation the
principle of protection now so in
timately interviewer with our national
economic policy.
At the same time there is need that
our people should keep fully posted
on this question, and it is probable
true that the so called free trades
are more vigorously at work just now
to destroy our protective system and
the protection to the laboring classes
growing out of it, in the interest of
English capital, and through the
agency of British gold, than at any
previous period since 1892, and in
many congressional districts this COM
ing fall the elections of Representa-
tives will turn on the protective tariff
question. If the people can be fully
informed on the subject there can be
no possible doubt as to the result.
And to that end the National COM
mittee are having printed for general
distribution a large number of ex-
cellent speeches that have recently
been made on this subject, with sta
tistical information of the utmost
importance to the public. These
documents will soon find their way
into the hands Of the working classes
and we trust they may receive the
attention their merits demand.

be perpetrated. But when it be-
comes perfectly apparent that Con-
gress will not allow members, either
in the House or in the Senate, whose
titles are tainted with fraud to re-
main in their seats, the uselessness
Of perpetrating frauds in order to
send such members there will be
recognized. This is clear enoughin
the frantic .expostulations of such
papers as the Charleston, South Caro-
lima, News and Courier, which have
painted in the gloomiest colors the
encouragement" which would fall
upon southern Democrats if Chal-
mers, Dibble and the rest were un-
seated. Yet it is well to have such
practices as were used in the pre-
tended election of these men "dis-
couraged." The few Northern Dem
ocrats in Congress had fine appor-
tunity to demonstrate the, superiority
of their political principles over their
political interest by voting against
such men as Chalmers, Dibble, Fin
lev and Wheeler whose cases rested
on the clearest evidence of unadulter-
ated fraud, but this is the sort
of opportunity they were never
known to grasp. 1t was good
thing for the House of Representa-
tives to teach the Bourbon managers
of the South that they cannot exer-
else without restriction, and with the
full assurance of success, the arts
they have employed for destroying
the integrity of the ballot-box and
turning elections into a farce. 1t is
just the right thing to do, for Con-
gress to extend to the Republican
and Independent voters in the
southern states, who have so long
been cheated of their rights that they
scarcely think it any object to make
nominations or to vote, a guarantee
that in the future all their political
rights will be vindicated. And we
doubt not the action of the House
of Representatives in these contested
election cases, where the evidence
was so overwhelming on the side of
the contestants, will aid most de-
cidedly in clearing the political
atmosphere in more than one of the
southern states.

Protection to Labor.

That labor should be protected has
ever been a fundamental principle
in the American policy. Amid all
the political earthquakes that have
shaken our country that principle,

Apropos to the leader in this issue
of The TIMES it may not be amiss
to state that in the second Repre-
sentative district of South Carolina
at the elections held in November
1880, the number Of votes found in
the ballot boxes, not rejected for
some defect, was $4,000, while the
number Of names on the tally lists
was only $4,000, showing that at
least 5000 fraudulent tissue tickets
were fraudulently inserted. Accord
ing to law this surplus of 5000 was
drawn out, and the drawing just
about 500 Republican voters all
legally cast were drawn out and
only one thousand Democratic votes,
of which not scarcely single one
was tissue ticket, thus changing the
legal vote in that district about
1900, electing the Democratic
candidate by a few hundred votes.

The New York Herald. which Justly
or unjustly has been regarded as the
"rummiest' organ in the country,
reviewing the success of prohibition
in Iowa, says:
The political contest which has just
closed in Iowa shows that the tenn
perance party in that state are in the
majority, and that in the future the
banner state of the Republican party
in the west means that "rum mills"
shall take a back seat and shall not
control its politics. In the eastern
cities the "gin mills" are all but SUI
preme. They in a great measure
nominate and elect congressman who
goto Washington and the aldermen
who control our great municipal in
terest. The spirit and courage of the
Republican party of Iowa in endeav-
oring to emancipate itself from the
baleful control of this class cannot be
to highly praised. 1t may be that, as
in the case of Maine, the party is
making a mistake, that prohibition is
a plant whose shade kills everything
good, bad, and Indifferent, beneath
it, but at the same time it must be
admitted that the restrictions it i'm
poses are in the interest of good
government.

A Challenge From the Buckeye.


To day the farmers of Shiawassee
county will, if am not misinformed,
see postal card from some one pur-
porting to have seen us pry Buck
eye out of the sand with rail. You
will also see so-called report from
field-trial, held at George Warmers,
with the banners out announcing
"another Mccormick victory" Now,
we know that majority of the real
estate owning farmers and renters on
the ground yesterday will uphold us
in stating that in running over the
extremely soft ground there was no
difference.
That in picking up the tangled
spots we did better work. That in
choking we were far ahead, choking
only one to the Mccormick three or
four times. That in durability as
shown by the tinkering and repairing
they were far behind. We cutting by
them twice while they were at one
corner, and waiting for them several
times to fix something.
They may claim they had no ex-
perts, but they had one of their best
men, Mr.. Carr, who claims to have
been in II trials.
Now the Buckeye Co. does not
manufacture machine they can sell
for one hundred and fifty or seventy
five dollars, and to definitely settle
the fate of the Buckeye Bindere, we
issue the following challenge TO the
Mccormick.
We will meet you in Mr.. r. Colby's
field of grain, six miles south of
Owosso; a field calculated to test
every faculty of binder and harves-
ter to handle, and we will appoint
one Judge, and the Mccormick
another, and they a third. Or Mr..
Colby can appoint all three judges.
The judges all to be farmers, owning
farms in Shiawassee county.
The points to be considered are,
rst. Mechanical construction and
strength.
ed. Perfection Of cutting devices,
ease of handling and operating.
sd. Draft.
4th. Ability to handle down grain
without choking,
5th. Side draft.
9th. General work.
Each of these points to count 100,
and the working of each machine to
be computed from this basis, and per
cent to be struck.
The judges to have one half hour
without molestation to decide it. And
further, each competing machine
shall furnish its own team and drivers,
nor can the judges change these driv-
ers or teams without the consent of
all parties.
The Dynamometers to be operated
by the judges, and none except regis
tering ones to be used.
The trial to take place next Tues
day, and to go on its merits on one
days trial. If this challenge is ac-
cepted, notice must be given us be-
fore 9 a. m. Monday morning, and
two of the judges must be appointed
before 9 a. m. of the day of trial, and
the other must be chosen before m.
The machines to be ready by D. m.
There is no sale depending upon
this trial, and consequently price
cannot influence the decision. And
further, none of these judges shall be
men who own either of the compet-
Ing machines.
Now either come to time or &C.
knowledge like men, that we c..a, and
do work as well, if not better than
any machine in the market.

A Charac teristic Piece of DemagOg-
ism

The howl which the Democratic
press in some quarters is raising over
the matter of political assessments
it's frantic appeals in behalf of these
much-taxed, over-burdened officials,
is characteristic piece of demagog-
ism. These partisan organs have
no real sympathy with Republican
office-holders and employees, and
their exhibition of any such senti-
ment is impudent and hypocritical.
The party of which they are the
mouthpiece was the originator of
the spoils system in all its variations,
Developments and consequences.
1t is their patent, and they can right
fully claim royalty upon whatever
advantages, and ought to be held
responsible for the disadvantages it
brings to other parties. The great
political prophet, halt century ago,
announced the apothegm that to the
victors belong the spoils, and no rule
has ever been more faithfully observed
by his successors and doctrinaires.
That a rule of action so well calcu-
lated to perpetuate party predomin-
ance should be adopted by the oppo-
site party is but natural, rational,
and self preservative sequence. But
if the precedent was bad one and
has led to evil consequences, it ILL
becomes it's originators and ever
faithful followers to mask in the
sanctity of political virtue and as
sumo to rebuke their opponents for
bad example. 1t is not the desire
for real reform which instigates these
appeals. The Democratic party has
never signalized itself in that direc-
ton, and if it should again work
itself into power in the National
Government, very few of these de-
mands for reform would ever be
heard coming from their partisan
press. 1t is not reform but change
they are seeking, and these virtuous
appeals are but the levers with which
they hope to lift their political oppo-
nents out of the places of profit and
trust, for which in days gone by they
have fully demonstrated their unfitness
and incompetence to occupy. There
are doubtless many sincere and
honest individual members of the
party who conscientiously desire to
see the many evils which attach to
partisanship done away with, in the
practical workings of our political
system, but such disposition is not
an outgrowth of the traditions OF
their party; it is the antipode of all
their precedent practice. Instead OF
being the leaders and promoters, they
have been the stumbling block in the
way Of progress and reform, and to.
