WE SEE NO good reason why bust
ness men, If they have any prospect
at all of doing good business should
hold back merely on account of the
change Of administration that is to
take place Oh the fourth ofMarch next.
While it is true that the Democrats
have elected the President and a ma
jority of the House of Representatives,
| 1t is equally true that the Senate will
stand as bar to any legislation which
would damage the manufacturing and
| commercial interests of the country for
four years at least. 1t will be re-
membered that the Morrison tariff bill
failed TO pass the House Of Represen.
tatives though that same House had
seventy eight Democratic majority, and
even had it passed that body it could
not have passed the Senate. This beinf
true 1t Is not reasonable to expect tina
any damaging reduction can be made
in the New House of Represents att vel
with only forty Democratic majority
and even should such thing occur /
would meet sure defeat in tie Repub
lican Senate.

The Peoples Comedy Company gave
the closing performance of their presen
engagement at the Opera House last
evening, but owing to the very dis.
agreeable weather the attendance was
poor. Last evening was set apart as
testimonial to George Holland, the
leading comedian Of the company, and
1t Is to be regrett' d that the weather
proved SO unfavorable, rs his very ex-
cellent acting In this city entitled him
to packed house.

was full, and Mr.. Sealbrooke sustain cd

remaining nights of this week, after
which they will 60 to Richmond, Va,

that they may return to this city

II the Republicans in the Senate will
stand by the tenure of office act the
Democrats will have but barren vic
tory after all. There will be special
meeting Of the Senate according to the
usual custom Immediately after the 4th
Of March for the purpose of confirming
President Cleveland's cabinet officers
and other appointments he may have to
make. The Republicans will have q
majority in the Senate and it will b
for them to say whether there shall bt
clean sweep Of Republicans from Off
ces whose terms have not more than
half expired or to which many of them
have but recently been appointed, or to
which many may yet be appointed be-
fore President Arthur's term expires
Under the tenure of Office act, Federal
officers cannot be supplanted unless for
cause, and by cause of course is meant
something like malfeasance in Office,
dishonesty, iucapacity, or the commits
sion Of some crime against the State.
Pretexts for removals will no doubt be
trumped up, but it will be the duty Of
the Senate to say what is . good cause
for removal and to respect the law. II
the majority of the Senate choose 1t can
effectually block any attempt to make
sweeping removals of federal officers
filling unexpired terms.
After the adjournment of the Senate
Mr.. Cleveland can make as many
changes as he sees proper, but the Sem
ate, which is assurediy Republican for
the next two years, will pass upon
every nomination at the following SEES
sion of Congress-. But IL is not at all
probable that the Senate will use the
confirming power in an arbitrary man
ner, or will interfere unnecessarily to-
prevent the President from filing the
responsible offices with men of his own
political faith. Neither Is it expected
that Mr.. Cleveland will exercise the ap-
pointing power arbitrarily.
President Arthur will fill every
vacancy in the public service up to the
4th of March, and the Senate will no
doubt confirm all that he makes. After
that there may arise reasons for the ex-
ercise of more conservatism. For the
last few years the political power In
the Senate was held by such q slight
tenure by either party that q grand
opportunity offered for trades, compro-
misses and chickering's in the matter of
combinations. The proceedings are
held with closed doors and the contest
between Senators in the manner of con-
firming appointments have been 80 Bit
ter that vast amount Of bargaining
and scheming has been necessary to at
tain the desired results. After the 4th
of March greater opportunity for this
kind Of work will be offered than ever
before. Republican Senators having
friends in office and wishing TO retain
them In office will be very liberal and
kind to their Democratic peers in the
of confirmation aud vice versa.
One thing at any rate may be accepted
as foregone conclusion, and that is
that the civil service system will be
severely tried, and more likely be set
aside as inapplicable under Democratic
rule

POSSIBLY the error found in the
Richmond County, New York, returns,
which reduces Cleveland's plurality
nine hundred and fifty votes may be
explained away by the county clerk
but if it will not admit of explanation
it will leave Cleveland but the narrow
margin of 1913 votes to depend upon
while the other 80 counties in the

several such errors lurking undiscover

A Foolish Charge.

The Every Evening says: Now that
Cleveland and Hendricks have been
elected the Blaine Republicans will see
that. establishments, in which they
have q controlling interest, shut down
or reduce their forces, in order to
bring about the business disasters that
they predicted.
This charge is simply absurd. Men
engaged in business will continue their
operations 70 long as they can make
money by doing so. The triumph Of
any particular party will nSf lead
them to sacrifice their interests. Po
liical considerations do rot control
men to that extent. 1t cannot be OK.
pected, however, that employers will
continue operations for any consider
able length Of time at q loss. When
confidence is impaired to such an exten,

do not do SO their creditors will become
clamorous and the Sheriff may be given
job. If the Every Ev ening think.
this is not 80 it should consult some
Democratic manufacturers on the sub
ject. If there is no reason for the stop
page of factories an excellent opportu.

talists to engage in business and max,
money.
Let them step forward and afford en-
ployment to the laborers for whose wei
fare they expressed 30 much anxiety
before the election, and now intimat,
the Republicans would designedly pun
ish them for their failure to vote al
they wished them to. Democratic polio,
and Democratic tactics have led to tn,
present state of things, and they must b.
held responsible for the suffering tina
will ensue.
