Elsewhere we give space to letter
written by Henry Watterson, upon the
present administration. Henry may be
correct in mis- views, but like well
known Democrat there is no civil SER
vice damfoolishness in our Democracy
We believe that to the victor belong the
positions. We believe that great harm
will come to the Democratic party unless
the Republican office holders, wire pull
ers and manipulators are ousted. Blaine
would have turned out three times as
many Republicans as are now taking
their leave. This lukewarmness is meat
e.. paf,..I,lias...e, hat i4,s tough DoIa1u-
cratic editors, who are robbed on one
hand and ignored on the other. We are
in favor of making every Republican
walk the plank at once, and placing men
in their places who have proven them
selves to be honest Democrats, not those
of the weather vane order, but those who
can show clean record, those who have
voted with the party; those who are
staunch supporters of its principles and
precepts, who have never allowed per-
sonal piques or prejudices to swerye
them from the party lines. The Repub-
licans expect to be turned out, and we
are decidedly in favor of so doing. A
great deal of talk is floating around to
the effect that Cleveland is working
slow but sure, and that he will soon &C.
complish the work of turning the ras-
Gals out" Andrew Jackson in much |
shorter time required the resignation or
removal of every Republican and placed |
good men in their places. Men who Sc
cured a second term for the sturdy old
veteran. The Republican officer as
rule, especially in the territories, is simp-
ly a political worker. He isin position to
accomplish greater work than any other
citizen, by reason of the abundance of
spare time at his disposal and his wire
pulling experience of former years in the
states Cleveland may be doing the right
thing, as Mr.. Watterson believes, but it
is positively CALLING to Democrats to see
the offices of the country filled with Re-
publicans who delight to stab the adj
in the back. 1t is some
what like the plan of Gov. Newell, of
Washington territory, who was appoint
ed by Hayes and requested by the adj
to harmonic if possible the
two factions of the Republican party in
that territory. Newell placed men
lvowedly antagonistic to him in every
way, nd after two wears of very I'M
pleasant existence the secretary of the
territory preferred charges Of his own
and had Gen, Newell re-
moved This is the result of placating
he enemy. 1t seems nice on paper but
{ viii not do to practice. The enormous
ask and responsibility of changing the
entire system Of government, renovating
t, and removing $4,000 men and putting
q, 600 in, is appalling, but Cleveland is
he man that can do it well, and ought
o do it as quickly as possible. His po-
itical followers expect it. and we trust a
hat he will not long disregard their Q
wishes.

although Russia has not ceded from her
agreement to submit the question in dis

that delay is likely to occur in the pre-

both cabinets to agree upon the specific

THE COMING CRISIS.
The conservatives Making Rally TO
Gust 1t and oppose Russia.

LONDON, May 9.-The Times doubts
the existence of any documents or dis
patches respecting the Anglo-Rnssian
agreement of March is sufficiently defin-
lite for the purpose of arbitration. Re-
ferring to the report from Vienna
Herat is not mentioned in the negOti-
ations between England and Russia the
Times says if the government thinks the
fate of Herat may be left to the caprices
of the ameer, the treaehery of the local
government orthe success of pretender,
the ministry had better tell the country
their 1pinion, and either give place to
others more far seeing or abstain from
Boosting of their moneyed prestige ant
halfhearted measures, which deceive
nobody and least of all Russia. The
Standard hopes that the cruel and pat
ronizing bluntness of the Official Messen-
gers statement will sting Gladstone into
another speech worthy of a British Min
lister. Herat is now the main question.
No Russian pledge, however binding,
which would only relieve us from a
diplomatic squabble ought to prevent us
from taking action to forestall eventual
tiles.
THE CONTINUED UNCERTAINTY
of the political aspect tends to restrict
the amount of business done on the stock
exchange with the result that each
small transaction exercises a dispropor-
tionate effect on prices. The greatest
anxiety is felt about the result of the
vote of credit, which will come up in
the house of commons on Monday, al
though it is unlikely that the result will
be adverse TO the ministry especially il
Lord Hartington's statement of the Sou
dan policy proves satisfactory to the
liberals. The current rumors of the re-
signment of the Earl Duffenn arise from
the inference that he disagrees with the
governments policy, and the fact that
Dufferin accepted his position with the
understanding that he was to take the
full responsibility of the government in
India, It is rumored that the Russian
dispatch by CowneF differs somewhat
from the summary one first received by
telegraph, but it is expected that the
discrepancies of statement can be easily
reconciled. 1t is estimated that almost
half of the vote of credit has been alb
sorbed in the war preparations SO far
ordered, which are now to far advanced
to be rescinded. The work of equip
ment for the soudan has almost ceased
the greatest efforts being directed to the
naval armament.

TIE POVER TO SELL BONDS

Once more the continuing power OF the Ad-
minis.rntion to sell bonds in order to MAINTAIN
the gold reserve is deliberately denied. 1he
Sun again asks where such power Is to DC iound
in the law The case is very simple.
The law of 1875 says that on and after Jan
nary |. 1879, the Treasury shall redeem
limited States notes, and that for that purpose
II shall use the revenue from time to time
and also sell bonds to such an amount as may
be necessary. No lawyer will question the
meaning of that act. No lawyer VIII hesitate
to say that tho redemption here required Is
continuing act, to begin on the LIST OF January
1879, and to continue forever thereafter But
the Government could not possibly know be-
forehand how much gold would be required Tor
this continuing redemption. Therefore, IL con-
timing powers had not been explicitly given.
sucb nowers would have been necessarily im-
nlicd by the terms of the law. But, on the
contrary, such powers are explicitly given.
From time to time" the Treasury Is author
lied TO use any surplus revenue or to sell bonds
to such extent as may b. required The Ian
ouape could not have been made more explicit.
The intent of the act was to give the Govern
ment power, not only to make all the prepara-
tiop for resumption which the Secretary of the
Treasury might in advance judge TO he neces-
sary. but also to back up the intended purpose
of the Government By the sale of bonds or the
use of public revenue to any extent until the
end shonld be eifectually accomplished.
This is the power which President Cleveland
for political reasons refuses TO use. Unwilling
to array himself against the silver repndiators
in his party, he is trying to throw the load upon
the banks Of New-Ycrk. believing that such n
conlsc. whether just or lawful. will at any rate
be popular.
