TWO DEN OCRATS.

Mr.. George II. PendletOn of Ohio, is not in
cluded in the list of Democrats whose names
have been lately suggested in connection with
positiOn in President Cleveands Cabinet. 1t Is
conceded that he possesses the necessary
ability and experience. For very many years he
has been recognized as a PARTY leader and con-
spicuOus public servant. He has been the DEM
ocratic candidate for the second Office in the
gift of the American people. To-day he repre-
SCENTS great State in the United States Senate.
Nevertheless, no Democratic paper urges Mt.
Cleveland to assign one of the Cabinet port
folios to Mr.. Pendleton.
Mr.. Daniel Manning, of this State, is more
fortunate There is widespread Democratic
demand that he be made Secretary OF the
Treasury under the new Administration.
Prominent organs of Democracy, not only IN
New York, but in other parts of the country
are assuring Mr.. Cleveland from day to day that
he cannot do better than to put MIR. Manning
into the Treasury. And yet Mr.. Manning Is
known to fame not as statesman, not Tor any
distinguished public service of any sort, but
simply as a managing politician OF the reguia-
ton sort-the accredited boss of the Democratic
machine in this State
What, then, is the secret of the contrasted
political prospects of these two Democrats
Why is Manning preferred before Pendleton 7
To answer these questions Is to tear the mask
from Democracy and show that her protesta-
tions in favor of reform are bogus. Some years
ago Mr.. Pendleton became convinced that the
condition of the Civil Service was not what 1t
ought to be. Accordingly he prepared and sue
cessfuly championed bill providing for
genuine Civil Service reform. The Democratic
party pretended to be greatly pleased with this
bill. They pointed to it as a demonstration OF
their change of heart. But Mr.. Pendleton was
defeated in his canvass for reelection to the
Senate and stands no more chance OF being
named for Cabinet hOnors than of being struck
by lightning. Manning, on the other hand,
rides the top wave Of Democratic consideration
in the face if not because of the fact that his
entire political record is a protest against
political reform. Democracy yearns to see a
| man at the head of the Treasury Department
who will "run it with an eye single to " the
| good of the party" Naturally, therefore, Dem
ocracy takes to Manning. Democracy has seen
Manning run convention.
Now and then the argument is advanced that
| tie Democratic party of to-day is not to be con-
| founded with the Democratic party OF the past
| But it certainly is one with it in substance
Old-fashioned Democracy held that to the victor
belongs the spoils. w-fashioned Democracy
| has no use for MIR. PendletOn. who set his face
against the spOils system, rcseryiDg Its favor fo
such man as Manning, the sworn foe Of Civil
| Service Reform from way back"

A NORTHERN MEMPHIS.

Duluth has no right to disgrace the North II
il pleases to disgrace itself. Years ago, IN
order to secure harbor improvement, that city
sold rs many bonds as the market could be
made to take. The money was spent Tor the
nermanent benefit of the town. Then the town
secured from a Legislature of criminal dlshon-
esty or criminal ignorance re-incorporation as
a village. and thus regulated its bonds. New
bonds at % cents on the dollar werc offered. whlch
some residents of the town were willing To accept
Others, including many who were poor ana
dependent upon these investments for support,
pleaded in vain for justice. The United States
Court declared that their claim was lust, but
that there was no means OF enforcing IL. Inc
Legislature had helped the swindlers by
providing that the claim could be enforced only
by service on the Mayor. and the people had
taken care not to elect any Mayor. III one

means of support in these bonds, ioolishly sup

upon Others. and how many moro sue" ''''o'
there may be no one knows.
And now this same town, Duluth, bcgs the
Congress of the United States to spend some
money in improving its harbor. 1t is to be
hoped that there are Senators and Representa-
tives in Congress who WILL for all time to come.
refuse any appropriation in which Duluth IL
interested, until full payment with interest
shall be made of the money which Duluth
borrowed, spent for its own benefit, ana theh'
with a meannoss not often found in ordinary
s,gindlcrs, refused to pay. though now
abundantly able to pay every cent.

REVEALING HIMSELF.

Mr. Cleveland is entitled to be judged. say
his friends. by what he does. That is right.
Here It is the last week of three months
session. and the President-elect has just walked
nm IN the fact that silver coinage, II continued,
threatens to bring disgrace on his Admlnistra-
ton. If man of average common-sense' he
knew that in November. Either his ignorance
of public affairs is amazing, or he was getting
ready to make up his mind what to do before
Congress met. About the middle of February
he concluded that the coinage ought TO DO
stopped. Then he took fortnight or so TO
convey his idea to his party in the House. NOW
the session is so far spent that one man with
pile of books before him can defeat the bill II
he pleases. Mr.. Sumner once set the example,
though in a very different cause. AS pro-
found student of public affairs, MIR. Cleveland
must know that one man can talk Dill 10
death. after twelve and half out of thirteen
weeks of a session have been wasted. But ne
wasted the session, nevertheless, in making up
his mind and getting ready.
.Judged by what the country now knows, Mr.
Cleveland also seems to have remarkable gift
for putting round men into square holes. lnis
is an essential feature of systematic misgOvern-
ment, mus, Mt. SlcNciduu sCOho w A"'
selected Mr. Bayard, who knows nothing at all
about foreign affairs, but much about finance
for the State Department; and Dir. Manning
who knows much about politics, but nothing
about finance for the Treasury Department !;
and Mr. Lamar, whose genius Ia to be lazy, TOT
the place of hardest labor; and Mr.. Jones, who
knows a great deal more about liquor than
about water, for the Navy Department. But
one can pardon him good many shortcomings
in this direction, since he seems to have
selected free-trade Independents for the precise
position for which they are fit, viz, that OF
outside GROWERS. 1t is stated that, in his
opinion, these so-called Independents fought to
regard the selection of Mr.. Bayard for place
for which he is least fitted as in some way a
sufficient recognition of their merits and
services. How it helps them to do just what
any Democratic President would have been
Obliged to do, viz, to invite Mr.. Bayard rs one
of the foremost men of his party to some
place in the Cabinet, Mr.. Cleveland does not
take the trouble to explain, but no doubt the
Independents understand it. The one thing
that the country does appreciate is that to all
appearance they are to be lett outside. to growi
at their leisure az him and everybody else'
which, it must be admitted. is position Tor
which they are precisely fitted

INDIA BOARDING GOLD.

A fact which comes from across the sea would
interest and instruct members of Congress just
now, if they would take the trouble to under
stand it. The consumption Of gold in India,
where gold is not used for money, but only for
ornament and for boarding, appears to be so
large and so rapidly increasing that 1t cannot
fail to affect the monetary interests OF the
Western World. In eight months ending
November 80 there were imported into india
in excess of all exports, gold bullion and coin
amounting to $2O.396,98O or at the rate OF
about $3O.6OO,0O0 year. The English
authorities, in noticing this item in 0nciai
reports, suggest that it implies great increase
in the boarding OF gold as well as in its use
for ornament. But it does not occur to them
to remark that gold would naturally be
boarded in greater amount as silver depreciates
and becomes moro uncertain in value. The
refusal of Great Britain to consider practical
measures for the use of silver as money by
international agreement, having defeated such
agreement for years, has been the chief cause OF
the depression in the price of silver, and the
consequence has been disturbance of British
trade with India, prOstration OF British IN
dustries generally, and greatly increased
absorption of gold by India. Reckoning the
consumption by India at $50, 100000, and that
of the United States at $15,OOO,OOO, more
than half the entire yearly yield OF gold is thus
taken from the market not for monetary pur-
poses, but for use in the arts and manufactures
in two countries, and by boarding in India.
Our part in this business ought, by this time,
to be plain Neither this country nor any otner
can long afford to have the British policy OF
absolute exclusion Of silver prevail IN the
Western World. Our part is 10 compel an
appreciation of this fact. in Great Britain as
well as in this country. by suspending the coin
age of silver, which, in measure, shelters
Great Britain from the consequences OF Its own
pnlicy
