The Ii,ino,s CONTINGENT.

When the Illinois delegation in Wash
ington were informed yesterday that the
special election in that State for member
of the Legislature had resulted in Repub-
lican success, making the election of a
Republican Senator possible, they immedi
ately said it was "a rebuke to the Ad-
ministration.n
Fair-minded men Of all parties did not
Lesitate to say 1t was rather a rebuke to
ihe horde OF Illinois Democrats who for
two months have camped in Washington
and begged the interference of the Presi
dent in their State affairs, instead of re.
naming at home and working out their
own salvation.
To the practical. every day citizen, who
cannot see much difference between Logan
and Morrison, the entire contest In Illinois
has been stupidly a5sprd, and men of nom
partisan views are laughing over Logan's
coup d etat. They cannot understand how
new postmaster, new pension agent and
new marshal at Chicago could have pre-
vented the Republicans from overcoming a
majority Of 1000 votes when all the Demo-
cratic leaders and speakers were in Wash
ington.
The fact is, the Illinois Democrats were
guilty Of inexcusable laxity in permitting
shair special election TO 60 by default, aud

Important statement by the Administration
advisers that President Cleveland has ex-
perienced a change of heart, which Is to be
followed by change Of policy in making
appointments.
Thus far the President has moved slowly
and cautiously, as though feeling his way
and testing the temper Of the people. He
has endeavored, and still endeavors, to re.
feet the public will so long as its behest;
are consistent with the Constitution and
the laws. He has made no mistake by pro.
cecdiDg with deliberation, and those Demo-
cTats who expected and demanded that he
should vacate the public offices at once, re-
eardless of law and decency, expected and
demanded too much. They forgot that the
Republican party had been twenty years or
more engaged In filling Offices which Demo-
cratic partisans demanded the President
should fill in twenty days 1t was physi-
cal impossbility.
But those nearest the President are now
asserting that the ''clean sweep" promised
in the last campaign is coming, as surely as
the result of the election was blow at tho
party then in power. But it will come
with the deliberaton and careful discrimi-
nation which have characterized Presiden t
Cleveland ever since his Inauguration, aud
which 81 ould continue to characterize ons
who is the President of the whole people,

Morals OF the Turf.

We are all, moro or less, gamblers.
Life itself is o speculative thing, for its
winnings depend on the calculating
shrewdness of its owner, and his chances
of success are generally smaller than
those Of the festive keno-plsyer. That
much-abused oyster-supper is, after all,
but species of religious chuck.a.luck
which finds its excuse in good purposes
Tho church fair and festival is game Of
chance, from which the player escapes
with leaner purse, but always with a
whittier conscience. Baseball, billiarl Is, the
stock markets. the elections anything and
everything which contains the possibility
of doubt as to result, excltes the specu.
lative spirit of mankind and attracts both
his cupidity and his opposition.
Feverish, undetermined, transitory, the
world moves on with its honors farther
from reach than the capital prize of a lot
terry and its glories more uncertain than the
favorite at race.course. Perhaps it is the
fault of poor human nature that the pawn
broker is the only man who takes no chances,
and that death always holds the winning
hand.
The turf has its morals. 1t would lose
more than half its interest if it had no
gambling. But the rogue, the pickpocket,
the professional thief, is as much an enemy
of Che book maker as of the vestryman. II
betting on horse races were actually pro-
hibited, there would shortly be no horses
above the draft-horse, but there can aud
must be honorable surroundings before the
turf can be patronized with eagerness by
honest men.
We have the authority of Henry Ward
Beecher for the assurance that there is no
harm in betting moderately on an honest
horse-race, but we DIN Mr. Beecher in de.
manding that the race shall be fairly run
amid clean surroundings.
The Jockey Club begins its spring meet
ing at the Ivy City track next week and
and its events are looked forward to WITH
much interest. The directors and managers
