COR. CIETELAYD;s BLUNDER.

Gov. Cleveland's act in signing the Roose-
welt bill giving the mayor of New York city
the sole appointing power is not heartily ap-
proved by all his political associates and
friends. Some of them argue that such a
law is autocratic and undemocratic, that it
is dangerous and unwise. That the one man
in whom such power is vested may be weak,
may be corrupt, may be, or may become
tool of designing men who would use him
for the purposes of their own. "The fathers"
thought it was safer to divide the appointing
power between the legislative and executive
branches of the government. Both the legis-
lature and governor of New York seem to
have thought it safe and wise to try the ex-
pertinent of vesting the appointive power in
the executive hands alone.
The Albany Times sharply turns nice
point upon the Governor by printing an ex-
tract from his letter of acceptance, when he
was nominated for that Office in 1882. In
that document the candidate said:
1 am unaterably opposed to the interference
by the legislature with the government of NUM-
cipaties. believe in the intelligence of the
people when left to an honest freedom in their
of the state have determined upon the details of
a local government they should be left in the IN
disturbed enjoyment Of the same. The doctrine
of home rule, as I understand it, lies at the
foundation of Republican institutions, aud can
not be too strongly insisted upon Grover
Cleveland's Letter, Oct. Z, 1882, Accepting the
Democratic Nomination for Governor.
The extract above given from Gov. Cleve-
lands letter, the Times prints 'upside down."
to indicate what a somersault the esteemed
chief magistrate Of the Empire state has
taken in approving the law, and it is a tel
ling hit.
The legislative branches of the New York
city municipal government are wretched
enough, and likely to continue so. The
present mayor may be an exemplary man,
and safe to be entrusted with supreme power,
if any man may be, but the new law is an
astounding one, the precedent is alarming
and the system the most dangerous that may
devised. There is neither precedent, public
safety, private security or Democracy in it
A short trial of the measure will soon satisfy
all parties that in the endeavor to
escape existing ills they have simply flown to
evils more monstrous than any before en-
countered.

REFoRM Is THE W4T0H WORD.


When the Democrats elect their President
in the year of grace, 1884, and he assumes
the retns OF government in 1885 and begins
the work of reform. and uncovers the admin
istratiye corruptions of years, there will be
such astonishing developments, that the De-
lnocracy will easily elect their President in
1883, and will continue in control of the ma
tional administration, so long as the pruning
knife is applied to corrupt practices, and the
people are given official honesty for partisan
depravity, fair and equal recognition of in
tcgrity in Office, in place of unprincipled
selishness, patriotism in place of venrality,
and so long as those in power make the
greatest good of the geatest number, the su-
premc object of governmental endeavor.
The broad public see and feelrlthe need of
reform and are determined to secure it bv
displacing the present dynasty so long in
power, and will give the party of reform that
1airly, honestly and periodically discharges its
DUTY long lease of official life
The Democratic party is going into nation
o. power TO fulfill, not to disappoint, the Just
expectations o. the people, and new
political era is about to dawn upon the conn
try, when unjust and lavish expenditures,
Wast@Eui extraTagance, vicious favoritism,
downright pccalation and gigantic thefts of
the public funds will give place to a rigid,
though not nigardly economy, to strict Off
clai accountability and an enlarged patriotism
that will ensure and advance the public
veal.
REFORM is the watchword, It is the motto
o. the Democracy, and every man who has
in view his owa and his country's welfare
will devote himself to it, in his own locality
aud proper sphere OF political activity.

plumber to care for; we are not disposed to
interfere with the property stolen by others,
and we have no aspirations to go into the
business of wholesale robbery.
There seems to be no reason why we
should go into the armament business, or
have greater force than is necessary for the
management of our own local affairs. AS to
a fleet, we need something, but not great
navy. 1t would take us twenty wears to put
ourselves on an equality with even the third
rate maratime powers in Europe, and were
we to attemp this we would find by the time
we had attained the sought-for end the mode
of marine combat had undergone radical
change. We need a few modest cruisers
which are swift enough to overhaul anything
which is weak and to run away from any
thing which is stronger. We need few YES
sells which can outsail valuable merchant
men and equally outsail vessels of war,
which carry more and heavier guns.
This is all we can have any use for. 1t is
to be hoped that congress will keep itself
within these limits and will not attempt the
absurdity of trying to rival the maratime arg
uments of the old world

ton Of the name of James g. Blaine in Hiram
excites unbounded enthusiasm such as no other
could arouse, except he who was representative,
senator and president elect at one time. The
question as to who shall be the Republican can
didate for vice president is apparently overlook
ed. If a vote for choice of the Republican can
didase for the president was to be taken at this
time it would be almost unanimously in favor Of
Blaine.
In the Presidential campaign four years ago
substantially the same feeling existed in the
locality mentioned. Mr.. Blaine was then
as he seems to be now, the first choice of the
people. His strength was so great in 1880
that Gen. Garfeld's congressional district
sent Blaine delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton, though the state convention sent Gen.
Garfield as Sherman delegate at large. With
the ardent interest that is represented to ex-
list for Mr.. Blaine, it may turn out that Gov.
Foster was not far from right when he said
Arthur would be as badly beaten in Ohio as
Folger was in New York. At all events, the
development of this strong Blaine feeling,
bodies no good to Mr.. Arthur or John Sher-
man.

USES OF STANDING ARMIES.

The question of general disarmament on
the part of the European powers has lately
been pronounced impossible by the French
premier. His reasons are not given, but it
is not a matter of great difficulty to know
what they are. It would be easy enough to
secure disarmament, if the matter only re-
lated to the preservation of peace-that is to
say, if the various powers had no other mo-
tive in the supporting of standing armies
than a fear of attack from each other. But
the preservation of vast armies means good
deal more than mere safeguard as between
the people. Each of them has an Interior
purpose, which, as rule means an extension
of territory. Thus, Russia eutertains her
well-known policy of an extension south
wards towards the Indian empire. To &C
compish this desire does not require an
army of million men. A few thousands
would answer every purpose. France wishes
to extend her power along the southern
shores of the Mediterranean and on the bor-
ders of the Chinese possessions. 1t does not
need body of 100000 men constantly in
arms to accomplish this end.
England does not keep a large standing
army, but she has an enormous fleet and is
at any minute almost ready for war on a
first class scale. 1t is not to be supposed
that this force is kept in condition from
any fear of direct attack from any other
European power. What England is doing
is the annexation, polite term for thievery,
of such provinces as may be picked up here
and there and to accomplish which, one or
two ships and standing army of few
thousand men are all that is necessary. 1t
thus appears to be the case that the nations
of Europe are mainly engaged in a land
stealing operation, and that they keep up
their enormous ornaments for the pur-
pose of guarding their plumber. England
wishes control of the Red Sea, and has OBJ
tanned it, and will retain it by protectorate
of the possession of Egypt.
The selling of this province could be done
by a few thousand men and the assistance of
few ships of war, but the rest of the enor-
nous fleet and the remainder of the vast
army are needed as an assurance to France,
Italy and other European nations, that they
must keep their hands off the Egyptian prop
erty. Germany has stolen the Schleswig-
Holstein, ,andthe Alsace-Lorraine provinces
and she now keeps an army of nearly mil
lion men for the purpose of preventing the
disturbance of this plumber. In fine, the
standinng armies of Europe are mainly for
the purpose of guarding the loot gathered
in plundering expeditions by the various
powers and the guarding of such other valu-
ables as may be collected in expeditions
which are now in contemplation. There is
an effort being made to urge this country to
go into the business of armament. To what
end should she build big fleet and increase
our standing army2 We have no stolen

The Injured Arrive at St. Paul---GenerOus
Conduct Of Railway Company---Settle-
ments With Passengers.

The special train on the Chicago Miiwau-
Of the accident at Red Wing last Saturday, ar
rived in St. Paul at SIS O'Clock last evening.
Among the sufferers brought to this city,
were:
Alexander Poyner, wife and five children.
VIM. Rudy, wife and three children.
An aged man named John Dock.
All the above are from Ontario, Canada,
and they are bouud for Brandon.
They were accompanied by DR.. Murphy,
who left for Red Wing on Saturday and who
remained with the sufferers until last even
ing. AS stated in yesterdays issue of the
GLOBE none of the passengers were severely
injured, although quite number were bad
ly shaken up by the collision.
The one who received the most injury was
Mrs. Rudy and her babe. Mr.. Ruby received
a serious cut over the right eye and also sus-
tanned number of bruises. Upon the arri-
Eal of The special in st. Paul, the passengers
named were taken to the Sherman house,
where they were comfortably lodged.
In this connection it may be said that the
company has been interchangeable in its atten
tons to the sufferers, the wants of whom
have been carefully attended to. A singular
feature of the accident is that no one sus-
tanned any fatal injury, and even the pas
rengers who were hurt the most will be able
to proceed on their journey this morning.
Among the arrivals on the special train
were Mr.. A. D. LaDue, the attorney of the
company at Milwaukee, and Mr. Geo. B.
Classon, agent of the road in this city. The
latter was in the baggage car of the express
train when the accident happened and he
was badly shaken up, being thrown against
trunk and badly brised. He was around
last night however, as chirpy as of yore.
In conversation with GLOBE reporter last
night Mr.. La Due said that the company had
settled with all the persons injured but one.
VIM. Rudy and family were paid 5000, and
eight single passengers were paid S25 apiece
One passenger was paid $21, and about
twenty passengers were paid SIS apiece. The
loss to the latter consisted in the damage to
clothing and provisions. The loss of Mr.

NATIONAL LEGISLATION.
The Special Orders and Other Bills to
Come up in Congress this
Week,

WASHINGTON, March 23.-In the house of
representatives tomorrow is set apart for
District of Columbia business The district
committee, however, will have nothing of
general interest to bring forward. Should
the minor matters it will present be disposed
of early in the day, the discussion of the
bonded whisky bill will be continued. The
friends of this measure expect to reach vote
on Tuesday. On the evening of that day the
Democratic caucus on the tariff question viii
be held.
The Indian and pension appropriation bills
have been reported by the appropriation COM
mittee, and either of them may be taken up
in the house after Tuesday.
Privileged matters occupied the greater
part of the present session in the house.
The advocates of legislation on special sub
jects, express themselves apprehensive
that The remainder of the session will be oc-
cupied in the same manner in the considera-
ton of the appropriation bills and revenue
measures.
The appropriations committee has a num-
Der OF bills in an advanced stage OF prepare
ton, which can be reported on short notice.
Sundry civil and legislative, executive and
Judicial appropriation bills, two of the most
important measures, are almost completed
The Blair educational bill is unfinished
business in the senate, and neither its friends
nor its opponents are willing to make pre-
dictions as to its fate, or the time which may
be required to dispose of it. Senator Blair
is still hopeful it will pass. An attempt to
set it aside for the consideration of the pleuro-
pneumonia bill, and another to send it back
to committee for revision which, ii success
full will be equivalent to its defeat for the
present session, will probably be made on
Monday, or, if the bill be not earlier disposed
of, on Tuesday. There seems to be majority
in favor of some kind of national educa-
tional bill, and it is among the possibilities
that the friends of Blair's bill may accept
amendments, smoothing away the features
which are Objectionable to some senators,
and thus secure the passage of measure,
which will at least recognize as general prin-
ciple that the government has duty
to perform in connection with the education
of the freedmen, hoping % accomplish more
at future congress, should the fruits OF the
first measure be satisfactory.
The bankruptcy bill, the ple1ro-pneumonia
bill, and the bill to regulate practice in pat
ent suits, still stand as special orders on the
calendar and will require more time for
their consideration, than that portion OF the
week remaining after the educational bill is
disposed OF.
The appropriation committee has under
consideration the naval and postoffice appro-
priation bills, but it is not thought probable
that either will be reported in time for action
by the senate this week.

CURRENT COMMENT.

THE probable verdict of jury is generally
regarded as an enigma, but in the case of Andrew
PETERSON, at Salt Lake City, indicted for register
ing and voting contrary to the Edmunds law, he
being an actual polygamist, the verdict of the
jury may be more than dimly guessed at. Judge
Hunter is trying the case, and has allowed seven
polygamous Mormons to sit on the jury, one of
whom has three wives. The entire seven made
oath That they regarded the divine law superior
to the law of congress-; that they believed polyg-
amy to be right and revealed from God, and they
would obey God rather than congress. Peterson
says he is married according to Mormon law, and
that the marriages were by proxy for all eterni-
ty, and not for time. Under such circumstances
the Edmunds law actually promotes polygamous
Mormonism, instead of hindering it.
