THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION

With Wednesday new men and new
measures prevail at Washington. The
regime which aas been in power for twen-
tyfour wears is at IN end The Inaugural.
ton of Grover Cleveland is a great polit>
ical event 1t marks the divergence be-
tween the old and the new as distinctly as
did the Inauguration Of Lincoln twenty
four years ago. 1t means return to
democratic ideas in The conduct of the
government; it means a different con
struction of the constitution; it means the
sudden arrest of that tendency towards
centraliZing all, the powers of govern
ment at Washington which has been so
marked of late years, and which was so
rapidly changing union OF
states, each sovereign in its
respective sphere, into a centralized
republic, in which state lines would be
wiped out save as Il geographical. conyenr
fence. the millions of voters who put
Grover Cleveland into the presidential
chair hope that it means still more then
this. They desire to see ostcntation re-
placed by simplicity; extravaganza by
economy. They do not believe that a
postmastership or marshalship c0ufers on
its possessor the title of 'boss They
do believe that federal officials should at
tend to the duties they are paid to pcr>
form instead of spending their time in
running conventions and elections. They
do not think that because a man is paid
by the people to perform certain duties
that that fact confers upon him any right
to dictate in political matters. In other
words, they do not believe that the ser,
want is great r than the master or the
creature than the creator.
Grover Cleveland's whole career is oyi~
denCe that he is true democrat that he
hates snobbery and social shams; that he
will not be influenced by time servers or
self seeking politicians; that he viii prefer
the interests of the people to the interests
of corporations, and that he will dis
charge the great trust committed to him
with the most scrupuious fidelity. The
democracy is fortunate that upon its re
turn to power, after twentyfour years
exlusion, its leader is a man who cannot
be forced to devlatc from what he knows
to be right, either by tlattery friendship,
threats, mercenary motives or popular
clam0r.
All true lovers of their country. WhcthN
er democrats or republicans, wish for
Grover Cleveland a successful admins
tration. They hope that it may rebound
to the honor of the republic and the wcl>
fare of the people. May the unreasonable
beauty of the day on which he took the
reins of power be an augury of bis sue
cess during the coming four years.

GLADsToNE's IRISH POLICY

The Gladstone Ministry by the insigui>
ticant majority of IA in a vote of 800 are
able for a brief time longer to retain the
reins of power BY the present show Of
vigor in sending reinfOrcements to Egypt
and by sending royalty to Ireland, the
Mlnistery have been able TO postpone fer
the present the inevitable hour of defeat.
In commenting on the rank of Mr.. Glad
stone Us a practical statesman, a day or
two since space did not PERM reference
to his long continued failure to slovc the
problcm-hOw to govern Ireland. This
theoretical statesman has been Prime
Minister of England altogether not Tar
from ten years. During that period his
executive power has been almost absolute
over Ireland and England and over lcGis-
latiOn for Ireland and all of Great Bri-
tain. Whatever policy III dealing with the
Irish question he has or would have re-
commended has been or would have been
at once adopted. With such unrestricted
powers and untrammclled authority what
has been the net result of Mr. Gladstone S
craftsmanship? A more deplOrable con-
dition of affairs in Ireland during the
past three years than during the last half
century. A more violent hatre of Bri
fish rule, eliminating in the murders Of
Lord Cavendish and Under Secretary
Burke, not to speak Of the murders Of
British officials and British subjects ALI
over Ireland, has characterized Premier
Gladstones term of office, than has been
known under any Prime Minister since the
time of Cromwell. We are not now dis
cussing on which side of the Irish Cham
mel the blame lies for this failure of JUS
tice and failure of government to perform
its chief, essential functiOn-tO afford Sc
curity to life and property in Ireland We
are not debating whether British subjects
in Ireland or their British ruler is most
responsible for scditions and priyY cons
spiracies, for obnoxious laws and never
ending violations of them, for turmoil and
disorders, for outlawry, destitution and
starvation. We are talking only about
results. What perceptible good has GladN
stones scholarly craftsmanship wrought
out in Ireland? What fruitage have his
Greek hexameters borne? Can Greek
ode bring Cavendish, Burke ard huns
dred others back to life? The classical
executive of England is about condemn
ing himself his own disastrous Irish polls
cy, by abandoning the principal feature
of it, the Grimes act. All his other
schemes for the pacifcation of Ireland
having miscarried, as a dernier resort he
persuades the Prince of Wales to take the
peril of assassination in hope that the
glare and pageantry of royalty may bring
back the feeling of loyalty which seems to
have fed from this unhappy land,

Two doorkeepers who each get 81, 200,

a man to take care of the fires who re,

there is set down $1,000 for Incidental
expenses, such as stationery, carpets and
the core of the presidential stables. And
further on, under another heading, there
is demand for nearly $40, 600 more. OF
this Sl2,500 is for repairs and refurnish
ing the White House, $2.500 is for fuel,
$4,000 is for the green house and SIS 900
is for gas, matches and the stables. The
White House all told costs the country in
connection with the president consldera
bly, over 1925, 600 a year. Bat this is
mere bagatelle in comparison with the
cost of the heads Of the other governs
ments of the world In this connection
it will be interesting to give your demo-
cratic readers some idea of the big COWS
ernmental machine they have now to
manage. From this digest of appropria-
tons | see that the execution office is to
get $l2S,0O0, the state department in
round numbers S1,400.0 600, the treasury
500, 900, 900, the war department $4S,-
100000, the navy $t0,0O0,050. the inter>
iOr department $50, 100000, the post of
fee department 500, 900, the agricultural
department 100000, and the attorney
generals office 81 10000 making in all
a grand total Of over $130,0O0.00O The
money paid out alone, however, gives no
adequate idea of the immense business
done by the government. Some depart
ments such as the post Office and the
patent office are almost if not quite self
supporting.
