1T IS A CAUSE for sincere corgratula,

their differences peareahly. The strike
disaster of last year was about to be re-
peated and long resistance was ex,

passed by the late Legislature of Penn
sylvania has been fully sustained and

is falling, and the manufacturers rs a

homilies upon civil service reform, and
so-called reform Democratic leaders to

OHIO POLITICS.

TIE chaotic condition of the Republic
cans in Ohio and Rhode Island, the on
" two States in which elections are
pending this year, is illustrative of the
condition OF the party organization
everywhere.
4 party without a policy is like au
army without flag or q plan. To con-
troll the offices is not enough. What
do you wish to control them for, and
how will you conduct them? These are
the questions the people are beginning
to put to political parties of every name.
In Ohio the party is divided and
discordant on all the questions which
are supposed to enter prominently into
the coming campaign. The Republi-
can Legislature has been wrangling all
winter over the liquor question. They
want to tax the whisky traffic and they
don't want to tax it, They want to
prohibit aud they don't want TO pro-
hibit. They have proposed a CON-
promise by which they would throw
the responsibility on the people ana let
them say at the polls whether they
prefer to tax or prefer prohibition. But
they cannot even agree on this PROPOSE
ton. The bottom fact is that they are
more interested in securing the offices
than in regulating the liquor traffic.
The election next fall involves the
succession of Mr.. PENDLETON i'm the
Senate; of Governor FOSTER in the
executive office; the political eOntrOl Of
the Supreme Court; other important
state Offices, and the Legislature.
Besides these, great expectations, OF
course, are entertained by rival eandi-
dates of then achieving a prominence
which will give them fair start for the
Presidential nomination oftheir party.
Senator PENDLEroS's term of Office ex-

pires in 1885, and he is handicapped in
the Presidential race by the necessity OF
making arrangements for his re-elec-
ton in case he is not successful in his
scheme to secure the national nomina-
ton.
After all the talk about Judge
HoADLY's withdrawal from the con-
test, it is tolerably certain that
he viii dispute with Mr.. PENDLE-
TON the right to be considered the
leader of the Ohio Democracy. HoAD-
LY is figuring for the Democratic NOM
nation for Governor. If he should
carry Ohio next October, he would COM
mand a prominent position before the
country, and his friends claim that he
could not only name PENDLEToN's
successor, but would be Gas big man
as GROVER CLEVELAND" when the
Democratic National Convention meets.
This counting of political chickens is
premature.

DEATH OF THE posi- MASTER GEN
ERAL.

The news of the death of Post
master General HOWE comes withOu
intimation of sickness or precarious
health to prepare the public tor the au-
nOuncement. He was we'll advanced
in life, having Tun more than his three
score and ten years, but bore his age
with unusual vigor and a promise of
many years to come. His sudden death
is therefore startling to the public.
Happily our governmental machinery
does not feel the shock even when so
prominent an official as the Postmaster
General drops out. Mr.. HOWE has
made an efficient officer and his admin
istration Of this department had been
fairly acceptable to the country. A new
man will take his place and the wheels
ofthe department will whirl as usual.

TIE REGISTERS "DIsCOURTESY"
EXPLAINED.


The Hteligencer is mifted at us be-
cause we declined to enter into an agree
ment to reproduce in our columns a
series of dry dispositions from that pa
per on the subject of the tariff.
1t calls our refusal "discourtesy."
1t may be discourteous for us to de-
cline to recognize that journal as an
oracle on the tariff question; it may be
diScOurteous also for us to decline to put
the same value on its opinions as it does
itself-that is, assume that it knows
everything end this manufacturing COM
munity knows nothing; it may be dis
courteous for US to assist it to pose as
the selfappointed instructor Of large
body of intelligent manufacturers who
il presumes TO think would sit as pupils
at its footstool; 1t may be still more dis
courteous for US to say that we regard
our cotemporary as not only little
egotistie but also little cranky in this
respect.
But the REGISTER has heretofore
gained some measure of respect for its
opinions on the complex questions re-
lating to the tariff by conservative
and careful course which always aims
to promote the welfare of our local in
dustries and of all classes concerned
therein, the manufacturer and the en-
ploye alike, and it does not propose to
sacrifice its reputation in this regard,
or to damage its standing with the
community by loading its columns
with whatever partisan slush our
neighbor might see tit to dish up for it.
We do not desire to be discOurteous
to our neighbOr by declining its modest
request.

AT an examination for promotion re-
Gently held in the Treasury department,
one of the questions propounded was,
How far is the sun from the earth?"
Most of the intelligent, reading people
of these times could answer that ques-
ton, or give the latest result of astrO-
nomical calculations in relation thereto,
but it really is of no consequence, so far
as the usual duties Of a Government
clerk are concerned, whether he knows
within sO,OOO,OOO miles how far the sun
is from our planet. True civil service
reform will be promoted by making all
the examinations strictly practical.

The Cincinnati Enquirer continues
to whang away at that PENDLETON
civil service reform bill, and declares
''therc is nothing Democratic about
it," That depends good deal upon
what standpoint it's viewed from. 1t
does not stand for spoils grabbing, and
if that is the idea the Enquirer has of a
measure that is not Democratic it diff
fers very widely with the public senti-
ment which forced this Democratic
measure through Congress as a substi-
tute for the spOils game that had pre-
coded it, and the same public sentiment
will doubtless see that it is enforced.
