MISS TAYLOR.
knowledge

The Tribune of this morning makes an
extract from the Springfield Republican
about Miss Helen Taylor, the stepdaugh-
ter of John Stuart Mill, and says she
has accepted a nomination to Parliament.
Miss Taylor is known TO most OF the
world as a reformer and woman's rights
woman. Reared as she was among
the most advanced thinkers OF
England and the age, the disciples of the
elder Mil and Bentham, and the able and
brilliant men who were of the school of
the Westminster, she could not be other
than what she is in her public life.
Her mother, il we may credit what Mil
says of her in his autobiography, was one
of the most remarkable women of any
age, and his devotion to her was as great
as the devotion OF Dante to the ideal
Beatrice or of Petrarch to Laura. 1t was
of Helen Taylor's mother that Mill says
'Her memory is to me a religion, and
her appreciation the standard by which,
summing up as it does all excellence, l
endeavor to regulate my life" 1t is a
noble tribute to any woman, and one
that is rarely paid by SO great a man. 1t
seems strange that Mill, who was so true
and devoted to his wife, Miss Taylor's
mother, should rest forever in the same
city where Petrarch first saw Laura,
and knew love- But in the old papal
city he sleeps and almost within the
shadow of It's palace walls. The infdel
and unbeliever finds peace within the
precincts where the Church was wont 10
be supreme, and where heresy never
found a place. And to Avignon each
year comes Helen Taylor, and over the
grave OF the apostle Of liberty strews
flowers, and sees that the hedge around
the grave where he sleeps is kept as pure
and beautiful as was the soul that of
her and her welfare was so care
full and tender. The old French
lady who keeps and watches over
that grave and shows it to the wonderer
and worshipper, tells, as she shows it.
the story OF Helen Taylor's annual pill
grimage to the grave of John Stuart Mill
and says: IN. Mill was the great Eng
lishman whom all the world knew, and
and he loved Arignon and here he chose
to sleep forever, And Mile Taylor, ah!
she is a good and beautiful woman"

lation, although the power OF an artilcial
regulation for harm is very great. 1t was
idle boasting for the Republicans 10 claim
that the extraordinarily flush times OF
few wears ago were owing to the fact that
thew had administered the affairs OF the
Government; and it was equally idle
boasting for a portion OF the Democrats
to say that the dull and depressed
times of the past two years
were owing to Republican misrule'
The chief thing that the present Ad-
ministration can do to revive business is
to recommend such reduction OF the
tariff as will give a loose to foreign COM
merce, but favorable or unfavorable ac-
ton on such recommendation must re-
main with Congress. The power OF the
Chief Magistrate for harm or Tor good
lies in two things-the selection OF ap-
pojntees to fill the various Offices that
must be filled by the President, and the
right of veto, right that has often pre-
served the country from the bad effects
of hastv, ill-considered and pernicious
legislation. Thus far the new Admins
tration can only be Judged in the work it
has done in nominating persons to differ
ent Offices. These nominations have been
exceptionally good, save two or three
which were withdrawn when it was
! learned that the nominees were unfit
men. The pressure for Office was brought
upon the Administration, but did not
affect it. To-day when some "boss' crys
for change in every department and in
every respect, he is termed an "indepen-
dent Democrat" 1t is much safer to say
that he is an Old time spokesman, who has
not vet learned that it was reform in the
civil service OF the Government that
brought the party into power. 1t is ar
gued that the cry OF civil service reform
was campaign cry and that
the country neither wants nor eX-
poets an honest adherance to that
| cry. 1ile COuuOlg uoO' "a pow 'ii iON
adherence to it, and for this reason
elected President Cleveland, knowing
him to be an honest, practical reformer.
There is much need for many changes IN
the incumbents OF Office, but to make q
wholesale change at the start and place
in office men into whose character the
President could not possibly enquire at
the outset, would be the very antipodes
of the policy to which he was pledged
The change for the better is always made
slowly, and not spasmodically; and SO il
would be well for the over anxious tC
wait until the President can have sur
veyed the whole field, and act in accord
ance with his better and completel
knowledge.

THE POLICY.

Things are going along smoothly in the
political sea at Washington, and the peo-
pie are fast becoming accustomed to the
ways and methods of the new Admins
tration, and nothing remarkable has re-
suited from those ways and methods in
any respect. Many thought that by
entrusting the reins of government to the
Democratic party there would neces-
sarily result therefrom rebellion and
bad times, and 50 great was this
fear with many, that the negroes of
the South were alarmed and apprehensiye
a lest they should again be placed in bond
age. Such alarm and apprehension on
the part of the negroes arose from the
doctrines they had been taught bv the
carpet-baggers who held sway in the
South during reconstruction times, and
from the remembrance of their former
condition. Their ignorance, for which
they were not TO blame, made them the
easy dupes OF such men as came among
them to govern and plumber them. 1t
was much the same fear, and was
due to the same causes, that many OF the
people of this Territory have of all who
do not profess their faith Nor did the
terrible financial ruin which was pre-
dicted follow in the train of Demo-
cratic success. Nor did there follow in
the train of that success the great wealth
and abundance that many of the Demo
cratic party predicted. Governments do
not absolutely control the ups and downs
of prosperity, and to attempt to do sol no
part of their legitimate business. They
can but give to their citizens such laws as
will facilitate business and commerce.
and remove all unnecessary restrictions
upon their free operation. Continual ex-
periments in legislation, without allow
ing time for things TO adjust themselves
to changed conditions, have a more
baleful effect upon business and financial
affairs than anything else. A steady and
liberal policy in regard to these matters
on the part of any party alone can help
to bring on good times. Good times obey
a natural law and not an artificial regu-

FIGHTING A SILENT PARTNER.
Squire " Co.'s Creditors Showing ETr.
EdmOnds' Relations with the Firm.

Squire " Co.'s Creditors Showing Mr.
EdmOnds' Relations with the Firm.
WASHINGTON, April 15,-The creditors
of the banking firm Of squire & Co., of this
city, which suspended about year ago,
have been endeavoring to show that Mr.
Edmonds, one of the District Commits
sioners, was partner in the firm, and as
such responsible for It's debts. Proceed
ings were instituted int the courts by these
creditors to establish the fact of Mr.. Ed
mOnds' partnership in the concern. and a
mass of testimony has been taken in the
case. In the taking Of this
testimony there was discovered a
copy Of an agreement between Messrs.
Squire and Edmunds, dated Sept. /. 1880,
which sets forth that Mr.. EdmOnds had
delivered to Mr.. Squire for investment
$34, 600, which was to he used by the latter
in the purchase of army ana navy pay
accounts, when the Investment would
yield a monthly profit-of 2 per cent. or
more, of which profits Hr. Edmonds was
to receive every mouth a sum equivalent
to ~ per Oent4lm on the sum invested
and MIR. Squire to retain the remainder.
This agreement came to light in q rather
sensational manner.
EDMONDs' CLAIM.
When Mr.. EdmOnds filed an answer to
the bill Of the creditors OF the firm against
him, he included a copy Of an agreement
dated Aug. l, 1883, and said that It was
the only agreement between him and Mr..
Squire. Jey b. Smith, however, who was
SQuire's confidential clerk, produced on
examination the agreement of Sept. l,
1880, which had been torn small
pieces and pasted together, and
testified that after Mr.. Squire's
assignment the paper was taken
from the safe by Squire and torn up, and
that he smith picked up and pasted the
pieces together. The body OF the agree
ment was in the handwriting of Commits
sioner EdmOnds. 1t was developed also
in the testimony that the original Of the
agreement Of August, 1883, of which Mr.
EdmOnds filed a copy with his answer to
the bill Of the creditors, had been altered
so as TO materially change it's character,
and that the alterations of the document
had been made at difaFep times, three
diff ent kinds OF INK having been used in
the document. Expert testimony was in
trOduced TO the effect that the changes in
the agreement We're written in eight or
nine months after the body Of the agree.

MIR. BAYARD's APPOINTMENTS. i.
Tho Things that are Distastsful to the
Democratic Politicians.

From he Mem Yoyb Worla.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-Politcianso OF
the capital all regard Mr.. Bayard as one
Of the most energetic Of the out-and-out
candidates for the Presidential nOmine-
tion OF 1893. He has not pursued a policy,
however, which has made him popular
with the politicians, If that is the Object
of his ambition. MIR. Bayard's diplo-
matte appointments have been made
in the face Of protests from
prominent Senators. Congressional
Inducements and Senatorial recOmmen-
datOns have been ignored. Mr.. Bayard'g
appointments are almost wholly IN the in
terests Of "a certain section Of the Southern
wing Of the Democratic party which
backed his political fortunes at Cbicag0a
last summer. Where appointments have
gone 30 the North they have gone TO his
personal friends. There is no man in
public life who has made lOftier declara-
tlons in the advocacy OF a high and pure
civil service.
No man has used more bitter and
scornful language in denOuncing the
use Of patronage for the advancement OF
personal political interests. Yet, in spite
OF these lofty declarations, Mr.. BayaFd Is
the only member Of the Cleveland Cabinet
MHb Mln HiNRtn al Vi AA1
upon personal basis. All Of the other
members Of the Cabinet have sought to
harmOnize themselves and their course
with the well known wishes Of the Presl-
dent.
Take the case Of the Postmaster Gene
raj. There is no department which has
such q powerful leverage for influencing
political action. There is TO be a SenatO-
rial election in Wisconsin two years from
now. The State Is a doubtful one. An
INSCRIPTIONS use Of the patronage Of the
Post Office Department could, without
doubt, secure the election OF a Democrat
ic Legislature. III Mr.. Villas should fol-
low Mr.. Bayard's example he would have
had every post office in Wisconsin changed
by this time. There is no Cabinet OIL
Ger who has made 80 many changes IN his
department as has Mr.. Bayard. He has
permitted the few clerks In the imme-
diate Office 10 remain, but he has changed
nearly all OF the foreign appointments.
The only man that he has permitted 70 re-
main is Foster, Minister 10 Spain, one Of
the most Objectionable Of Mr.. Arthur's
foreign appointments. Foster is either
dun man or "a knaYc. lt is not very im-
p0rtant which view Of his character is the
correct one. He permitted himself to be
SO thoroughly over-reached by the ring Of
sugar importers I'm the last commercial
treaty that 10 is hardly worth while 20 dis
cuss whether no Is honest or a simple dOlt.
His proposition 30 take 100000 600 out OF
the Treasury Of this country 20 present 10
the sugar importers was most vigorously
denounced by Mr.. Bayard himself when
the treaty was before the Senate. 10 was
largely through Mr.. Bayard's personal
efforts that the Spanish treaty was de.
feated. Why he should continue Foster
upon the plea that Il Is necessary for him
to remain in Spain 10 conclude other
treaties is a mystery which Mr.. Bayard
himself will find very hard 20 explain.

officially to confer with the Maharajah
of Cashmere. The Viceroy was met
by a great crowd ana accorded a
splendid reception. In reply to
an address Of welcome presented
by officers of the municipality, the Earl
Of Dufferin spoke officially of the Anglo
Russian situation in significant words.
Among other things he said: Coming
from an important interview with the
Ameer of Afghanstan, whose dominions,
so far as l have been able to ascertain,
have been the scene Of an unprOyOked at
tack. it is great satisfaction to say that
the Princes and people Of India are ready
with one accord TO rally around the
standard Of Great Britain even at a great
distance from their own frontier. 1t is
impossible to say now how the present
crisis will end. Ii it ends in war that re-
suit will be in spite Of the earnest and
anxious endeavOrs Of the British Govern
ment to avoid so dire a result and in def
ance of their most moderate and cOncilia-
tory conduct.
