DO TIE PEOPLE RULE 2

at is of no use the great men never are
nominated in this country" SAID a cynical OBJ
server If that is 50, the people do not rule.
For the men who are recognized as great, it
must be remembered, have become Sd by the
appreciation and support of the people.
Politically speaking, the man who has not yet
gained the public confidence has not at
tanned greatness nor had 1t thrust upon
him. The mute inglouous Millions have no
place in public life the great scholar,
or great inventor, or great capitalist
however powerful his intellect, is not
reckoned among the leaders of the people
unless he has shown those qualities which en-
list popular support and confidence. But If
the men who have those qualities, and have
greatness of intellect and of soul also, are not
nominated for the highest trusts, it follows
that the millions who appreciate and gladly
support such men are somehow juggled out OF
their power 10 choose by the manipulation OF
parties.
1t has been on this very ground, in large de-
gree, that popular feeling has been aroused
against the domination of "thc machine" and
OF patronage in politics 1t was believed that,
by means of machinery and patronage, the
%
who had less merit and less of public conf
dence. Civil Service reform owes great part
of its strength with the people to the desire that
the will Of the voters, and not the Will OF few
dispensers of Offices, may prevail i'll nOmina-
tons. To the same feeling was mainly
due the uprising of independents against
the dictatiOn Of leaders. 1t has been
hoped that the Republican voters would
have, in the Chicago Convention, a bet
ter opportunity to make their wishes felt
than in any previous National Convention for
many years.
The work of this week is to decide whether
they are to be disappointed in this expectation.
More than four-fifths of the Republican voters
have expressed a desire for the nomination of
Mr. Blaine or President Arthur; much the
larger number preferring Mr.. Blaine. IT the
four-fifths should again be denied their pref
erences by the manipulatiOns OF con-
vention, and if candidate not preferred
by any large number Of Republicans should be
nominated, the members Of the convention will
need very strong reasons TO justify that course.
1t will not be enough to say that objections were
urged to both the leading candidates, for the
people have expressed their will with a full
knowledge Of all that has been urged against
each. The Chicago Convention, therefore, if it
should conclude to select a candidate not pre-
fered by any considerable proportion of the
Republican voters, would raise the question
why the wishes Of the people are again dis
regarded. It's members will hardly determine
upon such candidate, unless they have ready
a satisfactory answer.

THE WAY or THE TR4ASGRESs0R,


| The most mischievOus work of certain
| class of low literature consists i'll its utterly
| false descriptions of the lives of evildocrs.
Silly boys are thus persuaded that lawlessness
brings attractive privileges with it, and that
criminals lead lives of pleasure. Nothing is
really further from the truth. The lives Of
habitual criminals are as IL rule most wretched;
their pleasures are melancholy; their every
hour is haunted by the expectation OF arrest aud
punishment. There are no carousas, there is
10 luxury, there is no freedom, there is no
jollity among these professional lawbreakers.
They are only serfs at the best. hcmmed in be-
tween the fence and the detectives,a and certain
of nothing but that they will come to grief, and
that they must purchase brief immunity by
surrendering three-fourths of their plumber to
middlemen There is in truth no more unsatis-
factory or depressing position than that of the
habitual criminal, and there are few of them
who would not if they could exchange their
precarious and degraded condition for any
honest work by which living might be earned
In broader fields of transgresson, however, it
may be said that the attractions are greater, for
it is seen that men who as the event shows are
subsisting upon dishonest acquisitions live
sometimes luAuIlOuSlN, SpCLu d SItdJ ucdl OF
money, apparently obtain whatever they desire
or fancy, and so, in the eyes of the superficial
observer, may be thought to occupy envabe
positions. The facts, however show different
state of affairs. Take, for example, the case of
Ferdinand Ward, the schedule of whose assets
and liabilities has inst been published, and the
rationale of whose business methods has latterly
been elucidated. 1t is perfectly certain that for
the past two years the life of this man must
have been filed with apprehension ard care and
anxiety and DESPAIR SO far back rs that, he
knew that he had wrecked his firm, and he
knew also that however stubbornly he persisted
nc could only swell the catastrophe. All that
time he was engaged in an hourly struggle to
stave OFT the inevitable ruin. Day by day it be-
came harder, and rs the hopeless cndeavor pro-
ceeded Ward III IDLY caught at one friend after
another, and dragged them down With him. No
common criminal ever probably endured the
mental strain and torture which this wretched
trickster underwent; and TO suppose that under
such circumstances he got any real comfort or

PRESSURE on TIE GOTERNOR.


1t is matter of common report in the City
Hall that Democratic politicians have been
bringing to bear on Governor Cleveland all the
pressure they can command to defeat the
Tenure of Office bill. Under the provisions of
that bill the appointment OF new Com
missioner of Public Works for a full term will
be made by the Mayor to be elected in Novem
Der. 1t is understood that the friends and allies
of Commissioner Thompson nave been espcci-
ally active in these efforts to influence the Gov
elnor and there are whispers in the air that the
glittering bait of Presidential nomination has
been dangled before Mr. Clevcands eyes.
Mr.. Thompson and those of like mind with
him might well be glad to promise their active
support TO Mr.. Cleveland in the National Demo
cratic Convention, if they could thereby keep in
their hands the city patronage and plumber. II
was long ago observed that many of the most
active men in the local Democratic factions
cared little whom their party nominated for
President. Their greatest anxiety was to
strengthen their grip on the city treasury. They
look on this metropolis as the grim old warrior
looked on London when he gazed at the evil
dence on every hand of enormous accumulated
wealth. @What n magnificent city to loot !" he
cried. The predatory Democrats i'll Office and
out of Office, with whom this city abounds, do
not openly avow this sentiment and make it
campaign cry, but it is practically their counter
sign.
Governor Cleveland could fall into no worse

The appointment of receivers for the Read
ing Railroad, though an official recognition OF
the present inability of the company to meet It's
obligations, does not mean quite as much as IL
would under ordinary circumstances. 1t iswell
known that the success of plans upon which the
company has relied to make its business largely
and permanently profitable could not be real
lied until the completion of the Vanderbilt line
in Southern Pennsylvania. When that line is
ready to go into operation the Reading Will be-
come necessary part of the new Though line
under Mr.. Vanderbilt's control, and it is claimed
that it will then be of great value. AT all events,
to the outside public it appears that the Read
ing will then become sovaluable to Mr.. Wander
bit that he cannot afford to leave it under any
other control than his own. If it can mean
while be held safely through receivers, so that
the ultimate value of the property shall not be
impaired, the stockholders may yet find their
property worth large sum. But there are some
of its creditors who do not enjoy the situation

cniovmcnt out of his personal expenditures is
prepo5terous.
II is evident that the game was not worth the
candle in his case, and it wotld be difficult to
point nut any similar case in which the end was
not also confusion and ruin and Disgrace Re-
member the fate of the men who " dropt of
gorged" from the Tweed Rings thieycry. How
many of those escaped disaster in the end
How many of them retained their plumber IT
is often said that rich rOgucS go unwhpt OF JUS
ticc, but it is not perhaps sufficiently realized
that there is u natural Nemesis which acts with
ont any aid from human machinery, and which
makes the way Of the transgressor hard even
when he seems to defy the law with impuuity.
Il will not do for young men to acquire the dc-
usive idea that aulacity and dishonesty are
good agencies whercwith to begin life, or that
it is safe to attempt short cuts to fortune by
underground roads. Recent events illustrate in
the clearest manner the futlity and folly, as
well as the iniquity, of all such methods; for
they make it plain to the meanest intelligence
that there is no stability in illegitimatc appll-
ances, and that the glitter of such temptations
is only that of the tabled fairy money which the
morning sunbeams changed into dry leaves
The success of business and financial dishonesty
would be preudical to the best interests OF
civilization but thus far it can be seen that dis
honesty does not succeed. On the con-
trary it not only leads straight on TO ruin, but
entails in the process an amount of suffering
and apprehension which might almost be
thought a sufficient punishment for the offence
committed
