THE New York Sun is inclined to be skepti-
cal, and is ironical to degree, relative to some
of the alleged reforms" now being perpe-
trated Speaking of the appointment of Mr..
Boyd Winchester, famous as ''the most expert
poker player in the South" the Sun says:
eve will never know exactly how much
Mr. Boyd Winchester the champion poker
player of Kentucky has been accustomed to
make every year by playing poker. 1t is GER
tainly more than $1,000, and, of course, there
is no foreign appointment with a salary of that
amount which could induce him to leave Ken
lucky. But $4,000 has fetched him. He will
now be minister and consul general in Switzer-
land for So, 900 every year. His poker income
must be somewhere between these two figures.

BIG man in Bayard's place would soon
distance the President. Cleveland has given
his Secretary Of State every opportunity to
make political capital and the only result has
been to show him up as man hopelessly beyond
his depth, though up to this time he has had
no more perplexing problems than the select
ing of men to fill Offices. The President, re-
alzing his own inadequacy to the task of
holding the tail Of the Democratic tiger,
relegated it to his Secretary Of State. The
latter has "made circus Of himself,
while the phlegmatic man from Buff
falo blandly says that such matters
have been intrusted to Mr.. Bayard, and
that he alone is responsible if any bad APP
pontments have been made. The compla-
cency Of the President under the circum-
stances is calculated to drive the Delaware
statesman insane. Mr.. Cleveland's idea of
reform is safe one, so far as he is concerned.
He deprecates all mistakes and absolves him
self by saying, ''Thou canst not say did it. "
Mr. Bayard, at the same time, is ranging
himself in front of the little end of the popu-
lar telescope

If the people want high license they are
bound to have it, but we believe, as a general
thing, the people think the city saloon tax is
high enough We all remember what strug-
gle it was to get a tax upon the saloons-the
present license.-The People.
Correct If the people want high license
they will have it, and we think they want it.
At least we are not willing to take the vote Of
the saloon -keepers and the aloon-keepers' party
in the Council as conclusive Of what "the
people want. We do remember what a
struggle it was to get tax upon saloons
the present license and because we remem-
Der that struggle we have faith to believe
that the whisky majority Of the Council as
grossly misrepresent ''the people now as
they did then. The press, representing 'the
people,, beat an unwilling majority into the
present tax: it will do the same for the one
hundred dollar fax.

A PROMINENT official of the Postoffice De-
partment pays compliment to the honesty of
postal employees. Notwithstanding the fire.
4uent arrests among them, which give the inn
preston that much pilfering and embezzle
ment prevail, he says the mon in this service
are remarkably honest. Counting postmasters
of all classes with their assistants, and the
clerks in the railway mail department, it is es-
timated that about 2000 900 people are en-
ployed in postal service throughout the coun-
try. The fidelity with which their work is
conducted is shown By the fact that the total
amount charged to ''bad debts" and 'compro-
mise for the past seven years is but little over
500, 600, the losses being but one dollar out Of
every $4,000 of revenue Private business
firms employing an equal number of clerks
with the same facilities for peculation, can
hardly make such a showing The 'rascals"
are evidently not in the Postoffice Depart
ment

and changing the ballots this detcrmin{ lion
has been ever kept in view. II remains to be
seen il the conspirators are allowed to succeed.

THE Michigan Legislature, men of all par
ties, indorsed the nomination of Mr. Lothrop
as minister to Russia as the Indiana Legislature
did that of Mr.. Magee to Sweden and Norway
and the Ohio Legislature that Of Mr.. Pendleton
to Germany. These appointments are first
class, and none have been more hearty in
approval Of them than Republicans. But it
still remains true that the majority Of the
appointments in the diplomatic and consular
service have been remedilessly bad, disgrace
full to the country, and scandalous to the
administration. The foreign service was
never in such malodor as at present 1t is
enough to cause every decent, loyal, honorable
American citizen to blush for shame to have
his country dishonored as it is by some Of the
men sent abroad by President Cleveland and

opment Of physical, mental and moral
strength. We shall never know probably,
the extent Of disaster because Mr. Spahr
was compelled to be absent at Gettysburg
when the one-hundred- dollar license question
came up, for it is very evident that he has a
plan that will settle the whole question in a
jiffy, so soon as he finds time to un-
fold it and introduce it. We hope Mr..
Spahr will not wait too long, but will bring
the business to head the very first meeting
he can possibly attend However we must
venture mild dissent from his kindly-inten-
toned attempt to extricate Councilman Ben
jamin. He says councilman should not and
dare not vote against This constituents and
that there are number Of saloons in Mr..
Benjamin's ward. The number we under
stand, is ffty-scven. Of these fifty
seven, fifty, undoubtedly, are Democratic,
and exerted their full influence against
the election of Mr.. Benjamin; So that
ground, he is certainly under no special obi
cation to represent them in Council
and to vote in their interests. Mr.. Benja-
Minis ward casts over seven hundred
votes, and contains, possibly, thirty-five
hundred people. Are we to understand Mr.
Spahr as saying that the ffty-seven saloons
are Mr.. Benjamin's only Constituents
And, beside, we trust Mr.. Spahr will not per-
nit himself to be possessed too completely
with the idea that the benevolent and law
abiding saloon keepers will rush pell-mell to
pay the increased tax just so soon as it is pre-
scented to them clearly and Enthusiastically, and
not as special ''black- mailing" scheme
Conceding all that may be demanded, of the
public spirit and the devotion to truth, JUS
tice and law of the saloon keepers of the city,
we are not able to raise ourselves to that high
pitch of enthusiasm which sees the
great body of liquor-sellers falling
over each other i'll their eagerness to
reach the city treasurers Office to pay the in
creased license, or tax, no matter howsoever
pleasing the guise in which it may be present
ed. But we do not wish to cast any damper
upon the ardor of Mr.. Spahr. Our only pur-
pose was to congratulate the city upon the fact
that Mr. Spahr had plan that would settle
the controversy, and to urge him to make no
grievous delay in introducing it into the Coun-

tastes and literary aspirations complains be-
cause the newspapers of the day fill their col

they could have served up to them each morning
able, moral and philosophical dissertations on
lofty abstract subjects. but unfortunately such
things are not news. The newspaper which
tries to live up to its name endeavors to be a
transcript of the daily proceedings of the world;

ANEW HAVEN pension agent incautiously
mentioned the fact that he had forged the
name Of a pensioner, who was in Jail for
drunkenness and was incapable of affxing his
own signature in order that the mans family
might obtain the money to keep them from
suffering AS a consequence of his admission
the agent is under arrest, with prospect of
spending five years in prison. Uncle Sam is
right in allowing no tampering with his money

when justice should be tempered with mercy

CHARGES of offensive partisanship have been
filed against the postmaster at Bergen Point, N.
j., the main allegations being that he hoisted a
broom over his office, the day after the election,
''as token, in defiance of the will of the people,
that Cleveland had been defeated" There is a
possibility that the postmaster's act may be mis-
interpreted How do the people of Bergen

THE Illinois division of the party of reform
will exert every energy to have the returns
from the Thirty fourth district so manipulated
rs to return the Democratic candidate in
place of the Republican, who undoubtedly
was fairly elected The Democratic candi-
date was so satisfied of his own defeat that he
openly acknowledged that he had no grounds
for contest, and would make none. The
manipulators of such things, however. were
determined to leave nothing undone to
overtnrn the result of the election, and
have compelled the defeated candidate
to file papers in contest. 1t is not yet appar-
ent just what course will be pursued by the
conspirators, but it is quite evident that no
