it is nevertheless another case of exile. 1t

and uncompromising opponents of Mr.. Randall.
and opens the way for the election in New
York district of subservient follower of the
Tilden clique. No more will Mr. Morrison,
when he begins another raid on the tariff,
reckon on the wit and the experience, the zeal
and the knowledge of that evcr-stanch free
trader Mr.. Cox. The gospel of free trade will
be preached by him hereafter, if at ALL on the
shores of the BosphOrus, and perhaps with
more effect than in the American Congress.
Then comes the selection of the chief of the
Bureau of Yards and Docks, another position
in which, apparently, Democratic reformers see
opportunity to use the public service for party
ends. At all events, Mr.. Hendricks, who is not
generally credited with willingness to exert
himself without any adequate object, workc d
with untiring energy for the appointment of n
native OF Indiana. But Mr.. Randall secured
the appointment of native of Pennsylvania
So it goes in these days. Reform of the Civil
Service consists in putting into the hands of
friends of Tilden and Randall the power to use
the Civil Service for their own interests. A
set of po5tmasters is named, all Democrats all

this instance has decided according to justice

Democrats had determined to pass. AS

election officers and the police, majorlties to

can by large majorities. In this way the
Republican majorities In the rural districts
would be swamped, and the complete control OF
the State Government seized by the Democratic
conspirators. 1t is quite likely that resent
ment on account of the infamous character OIL

CENTRAL AMERICAN ARMIES.

the three republics hostile to Barrios could place in
the field only 2,lOG effective men. Ii is true that
they have together nominal militia of 81. 500 men,
but not enough really good and well armed soldiers
could be obtained fom 1t to make up the difference
between the actual and estimated strength of the

4REFnRMD IN OHIO.

The latest and most unscrupulous Democratic
scheme to rob the people of Ohio of self-gov-
ernment has been blocked by an honorable
decision of the Supreme Court of that State.
The scheme was to secure absolute control OF
the chief cities of the State, and particularly OF
their election officials and police, by means of
legislative enactments. What was intended to
be theft measure of long series, a bill in
regard TO the government of Columbus, was
recently passed by the Democratic Legislature,
and signed by lGovernor Hoadly, whose many
professions of attachment to ief0Im are ren
dered more and more contemplate by his
course as bis term of Office draws toward a
close This bill placed the entire city govern
ment under the control of a board OF trustees,
who were authorized to make all appointments
from the highest to the lowest. 1t aroused most
intense excitement, and protests of the
strongest character were made by honorable
Democrats, both in the Assembly and through
out the State. But the INSCRIPTIONS knayes
who had contrived the measure are not the sort
of men who care anything for public sentiment.
To be considered unscrupulous knayes does
not disturb them at all. They passedtlle bill,
and the Governor unhesitatingly approved it,
and trustees were appointed under 1t, who
began two weeks ago the work of redistrictinR
the city. The Circuit Court then interfered by

Or.p-EYED GODDESS TRRITATED.

STAR-EYED GODDESS IRRIIdiED.
There is a melancholy lack of harmony in
Democratic quarters. After the great victory
achieved in Eastern Statesiby the false pretence
that 9reform in admins tratiOn " was the one
thing sought the Democrats should be able to
hold their organs and their most talkatiye
leaders TO some respect for the position then
taken. Instead, here we have The LouiSr'He
Courier-Jomnal manifesting itself as OBJ
streperousy as ever in denunciation OF Mr.
Randall and his followers. MIR. Randall, ac-
cording to that journal, is " the attorney OF
subsidy "He holds his place In Congress by
(" the consent of the enemies of the Democratic
party and his political existence depends upon
@hs allegiance to the robber doctrine which
akeeps him in public life" This is not nice
language To style Mr.. Randalfs opinions
srobber doctrine is not conducive to harmony.
Moreover, the Louisville organ declares that
Mr.. Randall will use the Administration to
feather his own nest if he is allowed to use 1t
" at all, and when the time comes Tor him 10
fulfil his fair promises he will find pretext
= to betray it." After this, it must be obvious
that the advocates of The Journals policy do
not like Mr.. Randall Yet they insist, with
much warrant in past events, that the Demo
cratic party is committed to their ideas, and
that the election of Mr.. Carlisle, the vote on the
Morrison bill, and the decision in the Chicago
Convention on the platform, bound the party
beyond release to the policy which they ad-
vocate.
Ii is TO be noticed that these gentlemen take
the trouble to declare quite often that they "arc
terribly in earnest 1t may be SO. The cOun
try had some reason to suppose, prior TO the last
campaign, that they were really sincere i'll their
conviction, and ready 10 fight for it, or, what is
much more trying, to give up the offices for 1t.
But during the campaign it was made clear tnat
somebody was going to get cheated Votes were
asked in Eastern States on one theory, and in
Western States on n different and fatty antag-
onstc theory. 1t was then suggested. more
than once, that those iwho would conspre to
deceive the public for the sake OF the spoils.
would certainly deceive each other with the
same exalted ambition if they could. Accord
ingly, we now find that the people who expected
70 hold the Democratic party 10 its frce-trade
professions are beginning to get irritated by
the course of President Cleveland, and particu-
larly by the care with which he picks out the
devoted friends of Mr.. Randall for the positions
which have most control over the patronage.
If he had deliberately set himself to organize
the party in such way rs to crush out opposl-
ton to Mr. Randall and his IDEAS he would
hardly have made selections more shrcwdly
tending to that end than those which he has
made.
If the star-eyed goddess of Reform " has any
fight in her, she will probably have an oppor-
tunity TO show it before long. From present
appearances those who have loudly profcssed
free-tradc beliefs will have TO swallow their
convictions and bo silent, or else to quarrel
with their own Administration.
