We are not in Mr. Cleveland's confidence and
cannot, therefore, say whether he ever thought
of Mr. Schurz as desirable member of his Cab

been induced to accept We know further that :
the counsel of Mr.. Schurz has been urgently

The growth of the influence of the press has
kept pace with its growth in decency and good
manners. In all the large cities there is an ele-
ment which gives support to newspaper which
is only daily criminal record. and there is in
most even of our representative journals too
great tolerance for scandals and purely person
al gossip. Still. there has been steady adj
vance in journalistic morals, marked growth
of a sense of justice. strong DESIRE even in
politics, to give each side fair play and, in con-
sequence, greater weight attaches to journalistic
expressions and greater fairness is expected in
the discussion of all public questions. Louis

Organized and expressed public sentiment :
must create an influence which will recover the
administration of law from the possession OF
crime. or this community will remain worse of
than if there no Constitution or statutes or
| organized government, and the people were free
to organize and execute according to the present
necessity Preaching the duty of abiding by
the law will not suffice when it is through the
abuse of the law that the outrage the people
is perpetrated. The citizens must realize that
the administration of the law is their business,
and they must attend to it, For, as it now
stands. they are robbed of their right to elect
the officers of the law, and there is in this city
no administration of law to abide by, be the ex-
