The appointment Of Bradbury b.
Smalley OF Vermont as collector of the
port of Burlington recalls the palmy
days when Democrats were remem-
bered in the distribution of the spoils
according to the services they had rem
dered the cause-and no questions
asked. Mr. Smalley has been worker
of the workers from way back. AS
chairman for years of the Executive
Committee of the National Democratic
Committee he has given the party
efficient and inestimable help. He is
Democrat by descent, and no other
blood flows in his veins. OF course the
collectorship OF Burlington cannot he
considered n discharge in full of the
debt which the Democracy owe him, but
it is an honorable and deserved recogni-
tion, which even the most mincng of
Mugwumps will not bcgrudge him. The
interests Of civil service reform will
not be prejudiced by the elevation Of
such square, true men to office, and
those who want to bet that Senator
Edmunds will oppose Smalley's con-
iirmation had better turn in their money
to the Jackson Fountain fund.

A Lords Son Selling Newspapers.

during the past week to street vendors

well-dressed gentleman, whose aspect and
face you would like to find in your clergy

clothed in rags | met there also strange

most dilapidatcd outfit, who was sober.

aefle of Tuesday he replied aflirmatively,
and handed it over TO him. "You give
me for it what you like" said he; ''you look
like gentleman"
"What do you know about gentlemen"
replied the person thus addressed.

a WRITER FOR the New York Star
gives publicity to the rather startling
rumor that the rich men of the Rcpub-
lican party are responsible for the eX-
isting hard times, and are simply carry
ing out n prcconcertcd programme to
weary the people of Democratic rule.
A large manufacturer Is quoted as say
ing to friend: "You know the great
bulk of the wealth Of the country is in
Republican hands. We have been ac.
cumulating our money ever since the
war. You must have been convinced
long ago Of the fact that our party rep
resented the vast majority OF the capt
tai. Now we have just made up our
minds to stay still and lock our safes
for the next few years. We can stand
it ii the Democrats can. We will prove
to the country that If they want to re-
turn to good times and business activity
they must put the Republicans
back in power again" In other
words they propose to starVe the people
into submission to the party which
holds minority of the votes, but
a majority of the money. We do
not place entire confidence in the state
ment. 1t reads like story made up for
the occasion some sweltcring day when
news was scarce. There is no one
thing 20 certain above everything else
as that the wealth Of the country will
only consent TO be locked up until some
key is found to unlock it. 1t may be
six months or twelve months before the
key is found, but it is not likely to be
four years. AT any rate there is nc
danger Of capital betaking itself to a
nunnery.

LAST week We defined our notion Of the
Ill advised source of an opposition journal
which should one week herald forth its
praises of the Government and the next
week denounce its misdeeds Our neigh
Dor OF the Bulldm tries on this coat and
seems to find it fit, and to be bent upon
wearing 1t. "Suppressing all the good
and magnifying all the evil that can be
said OF the public men whom it opposes" +"
Is its unfortunate misunderstanding of
our notion; certainly a deplorable course
for any journal TO adopt Kissing one day
and hitting the next involves no such al
Tentative.
II a Cabinet, taken as body, Is not to
be trusted, We do not propose to waste
time in trying to reform it, or in praising
it whenever it chances to be in the right.
Our neighbor, moreover thinks we ought
TO come out and announce policy" and
propose a new Cabinet. and goes the
length Of saying: If the GAZETTE knows
what men would be trusted in office by a
majority of those out Of office, it is recreant
to duty in keeping their names from the
public"
When the King or the public shall in
sist upon the GAZETTE diyulging the names
of men who would form a trustworthy
Cabinet, there will be no faltering on our
part but We have no intention of prema
turely breaking the secret. The truth is
that we advocate no particular set of men
| for Office, and reserve TO ourselves the full
right TO judge the next and every succeed
ing Cabinet, by its deeds and worth.
As for announcing policy, other than
that Of common sense and common honesty,
with prudent administration of the pub
lie funds, We modestly decline the invita-
ton. Our views upon such subjects as
the public health. liquor licenses, currency,
jObbery, and all other questions Of public
concern, are never kept in the dark, nor
! allowed TO be subservient TO the wishes of
| sycophants or time servers.
The party now in power, whether it be
called the Kings or the Spreckels party
Is immaterial, is untrusted and untrust
worthy. II the opposition had gained the
| day in the contest at the last session of
the Legislature and, upon going into office
with men Of reputo at the head, had proved
itself faithful TO its public trusts, then and
1 then only, we should have sustained it to
the extent Of our ability The only test
we propose for any Cabinet, is a faithful
and able administration Of public duty.
But the GAZETTE is neither Cabinet
maker nor a furnisher of Government pol
icies
However, if the BuEs'ia chooses to de
vote itself to the hopeless task of reform
ing the present Cabinet, and telling it what
to do. we do not object
