Editor Mcclure, tired of taking opin-
ions about Cleveland at second hand, has
gone on y pilgrimage to Albany to spy out
tho land Tor himself. The result of his

summarized, they arc as follows;

larged.
1t may be worth whilo to note that
Editor Mcclure is Of the opinion that the
application Of Cleveland's plan of civil
service reform will result in the removal
of ninety-nine out Of every hundred of
the present federal ofiice-holders. This
will have tendency to create q doubt
hereabouts as to whether his idea of civil
service reform Is strictly correct one
after all. Another point is that the presi-
dent-elect Ia a very handsome man to
whom the campaign pictures totally fail
to do justice. This of course will be
pleasant news to the ladies, sundry of
whom have no doubt reflected that q
bachelor president is an eligible subject
for feminine speculation in tho line of
Dame Cupid's achievements.
Concerning the voxod question Of Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet, tho distinguished
editor has this to say;
l know as much about the new cabinet as
any outside the few who are in closest con-
tidence with the ssw president, and that is
just nothing at all but expect the Cleveland
cabinet TO be wholly democratic. but wholly
honest, able, and commanding public con.
iidence; and the problem the new president
must solve Is whether democratic national

Secretary Chnndlsr,s orhsr.

The order issued by Secretary Chandler,
because of the failure of congress to pro.
dc funds for tho navy department, is
tho same In effect as that issued by Secre.
tary Nj Crnry in 1877 when congress
J nrned without making provision for
the support Of the war department. In
Jo'' the two houses were at loggerheads
over tho army appropriation bill, the
democrats desiring reduction of the
force and demanding the withdrawal Of
troops from tho southern states, and tho
republlcans opposing both propositions
The forty.fourth eongress adjourned
without passing tho army appropriation
bill.
Three distinct propositions arc laid

forbids departments to onter into contracts
in excess of or in anticipation Of appro-
priatious. Such contracts and purchases

therefor, bat the holders are informed
that payments will depend upon future
appropriations by congress for that pur.
pose.
Tho third proposition is that which re.

rejoices that it will DO the first great step
N tho direction of our ultimate acquisi-
tion of the territory south of US down to
the isthmus of Panama. Our neighbor,
the Post, objects seri ously to this view OF
the treaty and wants it to be promptly re-
jected, "unless it can be shown that the
Picdy,ne's construction of the treaty is
false and chimercal." Now, we do not
believe that there is any good ground for
the view of the effect Of tho treaty taken
by the Picayune, and still less do we
think tho Posts notion, that the
treaty should be rejected unless some
body is at pains to deny the soundness of
tho hcoynne's fanciful prophecies, is we'll
grounded. What tho Pieayune or any
other newspaper may chance to say
Will possibly be an outgrowth of
tho treaty in the distant future
should cut no figure in determin.
Ing its ratification or rejection. Tho
action OF tho senate should be based upon
its plain immediate intent. Tho treaty
looks only to the construction Of canal
neross the territory OF Nicaragua which
will bo under American control, but
freely open to tho commerce Of the world.
Everything in the way of detail in the
treaty is tributary to this one central
purpose. There is no suggestion Of an
acquisition Of foreign territory other
than such as Nicaragua readily comedies
10 10 proper and necessary to the con.
struction and maintenance of the canal.
IL is not fair to the treaty to bring in
outside issues to confuse its considerat tion,
nor is 1t necessary, for in itself it deals
with interests and obligations atfording
abundant food for extended discussion.
