their hearty congratulations to th'
venerable couple, and wishing then
many years Of prosperity and happi

A DARK HORSE GONE.

THE TRIBUNE observes with regret that its
second choice for Speaker, Mr.. Eaton, of Con-
necticut. after having once made fair Roadway
at destroying his chances As @dark horse " by
stepping into tho trap set for him by tho now
Editor Of Tho World newspaper, has calmly
walked out minus his tail and with great DELHI
Grafton turned rquarely round and marched
into the same trap without 30 much a. being
invited. And The TRIBUNE, loving Mr.. Eaton
as 1t does for his large and self-sacriHcing can
dor, and admiring him a. II must for the won.
derful stubbornness with which be habitually
lifts his head against tho locomotive Of pro-
gress, has only to say with raised hands and In
., low mournful tone over what remains Of
him: sWhat pityp What mercy II would
have been to tho Democratic party, which he
might have not only adorned but strengthened,
had he waited his time and become the
Speaker of tho next House and what kind
peu he might have done bis own fame had be
waited little and taken bis chances. We have
said bsfore that he was at ons time the most
promising adask horsen In the Asld. He fell

there was still ne shadow Of shade or
chance for him, snd We fingered lovingly upon
him a. our second choice after Mr.. Samuel Cox.
But now he has gone and written another
letter. And Of ell things In tho world his nm.

World Editor and apparently out OF hand, unin'

Tie Republicans because they SEQ that such .
course - he indicated will result In Waterloo
for them but he cannot understand why any
portion Of the Democratic press 'should exhibit
tho bitterness which it does" But he adds,
With tho overpowering confidence OF his nature
that he believes agood will result, because
people will think and their representatives
must heed the outlook" Now what does man
of Mr.. Eaton's ability and experience want to
do this sort Of thing for and wreck not only bis
own but ell tho hopes Of his friendsf We have
said heretofore that Mr.. Eaton had what they
call at tho South fright smart" waiting
chance. THE TRIBUNE was, and H. fond OF
him. It had already named him as it, second
choice. But We have taken occaaion to point
out distinctly the necessity for lying low and
keeping still. And especially for lying low and
Keeping btill VI tu0 toAAn quooHo~s ~>HN
Eaton, Notwithstanding his knowledge that he
stood second In our affections and that be was
promising, very promising dark horse" and
that 1t was necessary to success to have no
views in particular upon the tariff, has gone
and given his views and then clinched his
suicide by writing another letter complaining
OF tho bitterness with which the Democratic
press treats his views.
We do 1t rsgretfully, hut we are compelled to
do it. We give up Mr.. Eaton. Our candidate for
Speaker 10 the man who has tho wisdom of the
oyster: who knows when to shut up. There
are 80 many things about Mr.. Eaton that we
like that We really had hopes Of him as a can
didate for Speaker in the event-which Heaven
forefend-of the withdrawal Of Samuel Cox
We had hopes that he had learned from some
what abundant experience not to talk except
when he had something to say. We will not
say that he ID of the kind that would bear bray
Ing In mortar without suffering change, but 1t
docs seem to us that We have seen statesmen
who could much moro successfully stand on the
edge Of good thing without putting foot in
1t. We are sincerely sorry for MIR. Eaton.
Sometimes he does it with his wide, eloquent
mouth, and sometimes with pen and ink /; but
somehow he always does 1t. We part from our
second choice with profoundest sorrow. But
he is too fluent. We let him 60. And we cling
with all the moro tenacity to our first choice
Heavens last best gift to man-Samuel Cox
He has not said any thing yet. That is, not any
thing in particular.

close tho Bridge to pedestrians for few weeks.
There can be no objection to this. The foot
path can be altered and reopened when the car
tracks are put In operation. That would afford
opportunity to test tho adequacy OF the present
width of pathway for ordinar, travel. The
scarcely diminished travel OF yesterday shows
that tho Bridge Il popular and IL destined TO

It should at once be put in the best possible

Is composed of the president treasurer and
thirty members elected by the alumni, has re-
fused to concur by vote of IL to 10. IL
would have been characteristic OF tho Gov
ernor to have declined tho degree, for the
purpose of strengthening himself with his
followers, with whom university honors are
not of much account. The course OF
the college authorities may serve the
Governor Just as well. But It will not
please him to be told that his character is not
in harmony with the college motto. "Ventas,"

in the way of restoring their dignity and
worth, is commendable.
With Mr.. John Jay for President, and Mr..
Sias w. Burt for Chief Examiner, the State
Civil Service Commission IL equipped with the
ability and practical experience necessary to
make it's work success. In explaining why
he did not accept the appointment OF Chief
Examiner of the Federal Civil Service Com
mission, Mr.. Burt says that the President did
not appear to make the nomination in good
faith. An appointment that involved a
decrease in salary of $1,000 year did not
have the appearance Of being made to promote
the cause of reform. The State Commission
may pay its Chief Examiner So, 500 o year,
which is $500 more than the salary Of the
Federal Chief Examiner hence Mr.. Burt will
probably lose nothing in that respect. 1t is
certainly o great gain for the State to
secure the services of the man who
successfully carried out Civil Service Reform
in the Custom House. 1t is o
great pity that there was not honesty of pur-
pose in the Democratic Legislature in passing
the Civil Service Reform bill. The clause
making all its provisions applicable to the
municipal CIVIL SeTVlCo was uclcdtcu' Anu
the act does not apply to the civil service OF
the State until after January Of next year.
In that way every Republican off1ceholder can
be replaced by Democrat before competitive
examinations are begun, otherwise few Demo.
Gratis would get appointed. In order that
Civil Service Reform should not interfere with
this hunger for patronage the act will have no
practical effect until after the State officers
elected next fall shall have succeeded the
present incumbents If perchance the Demo
Gratis should succeed. then every Republican
clerk and messenger can be turned out before
the Civil Service Reform takes effect. That Is
a fair specimen of Democratic reform methods.
