which is alone artistic, if the en-
tire round of the Cabinet is to be made
1t would be possible, perhaps, to add some
thing to the strength of this effort to meet
one demand, but to bring it up to the seventh
power is out of the question. 1t is not to be
supposed for an instant that the Post intended
to exalt MIR. Whitney so far above his breth-
rem and leave him there, but it must either do
this or make an ignominious literary, not to
say political, failure, by giving each of the
other secretaries a less eloquent send-off.< The
administration organ will perhaps learn from
this dilemma that it is the part of wisdom to
turn the tap of the newspaper taffy barrel
slowly when the demand for that COM
modify is great; by so doing supply is kept
on hand for emergencies.

THE Grant monument fund already reaches

The people of New York city now have that

Spouse is the one thing needed to make the
monument enterprise success Anything
less will condemn it to drag along disgrace
fully. New York, awarded the high honor of

question of honor that fitting monument be

ment, and the necessary money secured at

THE suits brought against reputable physi-
clans because of failure to take out license
have the appearance of contemplate specula-
ton that few would care to assume for the
sake of the money in it. If there was any
evident intent to evade the law in any sense,
it would be we'll enough for the authorities to
refresh their memories. But to drag them up
like so many old-time offenders is not accord
ing to the popular idea Of justice, at time
when scores of men are persistently defying the
law, week after week aud Sunday after Sun
day. If the men who caused the arrest of
these doctors are on the make, they can prob
ably make as much out Of saloon keepers; if
they simply want to compel obedience to the
law, they might divide their attention in the
direction mentioned. If they are not inter
ested in the money to be made out of these
prosecutions, and are bent only on enforcing
the law, they will take some cognizance of the
offenses of iquorsellers. AS it stands, it
looks only like scheme to make few dol
lars off some of the best and most honorable
citizens that the city has. 1t is contempt

1T is stated on what seems good authority
that the bills of the doctors in attendance upon
General Grant amount to 1900 each. At
FIRST glance this may seem extortion, yet when
it is remembered that many irst-class metro
politan physicians have a professional income
ranging from $50, 900 to 100000 year, a bill
for $50, 900 for such services as were rendered
The stricken solderdo not seem extravaganza
The attendance of DR.. Douglas was almost
continuous for months, and was very severe
upon him. He, at least, is entitled to de-
cent remuneration. 1t is pleasing to know
chat the accounts are already provided for if
not actually paid.

CONSUL UNDERWOOD (alleged Republican,
holds his place and is patted on the back,
while many faithful Democrat is licking his
chops in impatient expectation, The secret
Of Mr.. Underwood's acceptance by the Presi-
dent is unaccounted for, except that ne ingeni
ously remarked for publication that he
''never saw man who had more the look Of a
born ruler of men than President Cleveland"
Palsied be the tongue that would dare sug-
gest that Mr.. Cleveland has an inordinate
fondness for saccharine hunks or that Consul
Underwood would be go base as to offer to
pass the treacle to the man sitting at the
head of the political table. Still, while no
man will be mean enough to hint at such
things, it is barely possible that few may
casually think them. At present Mr.. Cleve-
land seems very much pleased with himself;
and Underwood, with diplomatic plum
twixt thumb and finger, is Of the opinion
that it pays to fatter the crows voice.

Of General Grant to measure with any man,
living or dead, in the South, or among the
South's incorporate sympathizers in England
1t is in exceeding bad taste for the Gazette to
give utterance to such mean sentiment
while the remains Of Americas greatest SOL
der were on the way to their burial place,
and at time when even the South felt called
upon to admit his many virtues. 1t was not
expected that certain of the British papers
would ever forgive the North for making a
successful fight for the preservation Of the
Union. The envy that begot the hope that
the great American Republic would be broken
up was mean. The spleen that perpetuates
the sentiment after twenty years is contempt
IDLE. The honor paid the memory Of the
commander of the greatest armies of the
world by the Dean of Westminster was very
graceful and fitting on his part. The snarls
of the British press that despises American
progress can but incur the contempt of all
honorable men.

PECULIARLY iil-timed, if not intentionally
profane, comes eulogy of Jefferson Davis
from the lips of Judge Reagan. The cheers
that greeted his encomiums of the arch traitor
jar upon ears filled with the dirge over the
Nations dead. What a hollow mockery is
there in words of sympathy for Grant, dead,
from lips that speak of the patriotism,
self denial and devotion" of Davis, living
living by the grace of Nation he had done
his utmost to destroy! If all that Judge Rea-
gan told his hearers at Fort Worth, Tex. last
Wednesday be right, then all the honor and
sorrow bestowed upon Grant is wrong It is
not possible for the people of the South to
have any genuine sympathy with our national
grief if they feel with Judge Reagan that the
curse of God should be upon them eff they
cease to love, honor, respect and venerate
Jefferson Davis" The rebellion which he
headed was infamous in design, treacherous
in methods and lamentable in results. No
high principle made the cause of the South
sacred; no lofty purpose elevated the charac-
ter of its chief conspirator. -Chicago News.
The Journal insists that such sentiments,
unquestionably commendable in themselves,
come with very bad grace from the Chicago
News and it's kind The same words in the

CERTAIN of the intensely English press for
get the prejudices Of war as slowly as do some
of the surviving fre-eat Of the South. The
st. James Gazette, joining the ill-timed utter
ances of the Saturday Review, which did not
hesitate to condemn the Dissertation" of West
minister Abbey by the funeral service in
honor of the memory of General Grant, claims
that no one, Lincoln excepted, on the side of
she North could compare with Lee Jackson
and Beaure gard in nobility of character
'"This forbids us" continues the paper, ''to
regard the Southern soldiers as criminals over
whose defeat Englishmen can rejoice" The
article next criticises Americas grand fu-
neral boom" and says: cit would have been
more humane to have buried the Northern
General with less ostentation." Without car
ing to extend the comparison, the North is
content to present the life and public services

THE orthodox party papers regard them (the
mugwumps) very much as the seniors of an
aristocratic and exclusive family regard son
who has eloped with girl and insists on being
very happy with her, and on getting along in
the world with his wife without any assistance
from the old folks.-Philadelphia Record.
Out this way the mugwumps are so obvi-
ously unhappy that the sympathy they get
from the old folks whom they deserted is Of
the sort bestowed upon the son who marries
into the wrong family and becomes aware of
it when it is too late.

the words above quoted, measures the length
and breadth Of the ''bloody shirt" The Journal
itself never insisted on one iota more The
Journal has no soft words for malcontents
like Judge Reagan. His permanent retiracy
from public life would be a blessing to
North and South. The South must
learn the lesson taught from Sumter to APP
pomattox. The South will live to learn that
the South was criminally wrong from begin
ming to end, and contemptibly wrong in not
accepting the arbitrament of war, so gener-
ously terminated. The sons and grandsons
of confederate soldiers will learn that their
fathers were awfully mistaken in voluntarily
going into war against the Union, just as the
men Of Massach usetts realize and confess that
their forefathers were criminally wrong in
burning alleged witches. No war can be
waged for four years without one side being
wrong. The point at issue between South
and North was clearly drawn. The men who
fought for the Union thought they were
right, and went into every fight animated by
that belief. The Journal has never failed to
indorse the justice and Righteousness of the
Union cause, and in so doing has been sys-
tematically sneered at by papers of Demo
cratic politics and papers Of no politics at all.
The sentiment that is so hateful at this juno
ture is hateful to loyalty any time. 1t can
not obtain among men who prefer the Union
over the success Of the Confederacy If the
News and other free-lance papers of its kind
have any sense of decency, they will not be so
ready to cry "bloody shirt every time any
one condemns sentiments hostile to the Union.
We have no patience with such Infamous
ideas, no desire to further humiliate the
North in attempting to placate implacables.

An Unsatisfactory Endorsement.
Philadelphia Press.

That Jones has flagrantly violated the spirit
and purpose of the civil service act was proven
net merely by his acts, but by his own voluntary
admissions and if the administration had beer
actuated by sincere loyalty to the sense and
rily dismissed The appointment of Thoman as
his investigator was simply a bit of jury fixing,
which, while it has accomplished the work set
before it, will deceive nobody as to the cunning
and hypocrisy that inspired it. Thoman's in
dorsement of Aquilla Jones as civil-service
reformer will have about as much weight with
the public of today similar Endorsement OF
William l.. Marcy 10y Andrew Jackson would
have had with the people of forty-fve years ago.

THE announcement that Lord Chief Jus

THE announcement that Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge is about to marry an American woman,
whom he met on the steamer on which he re-
turned from the United States two years ago,
and who is said to have threatened MIN with a
breach of promise suit if he did not fulfil the
pledges made during that voyage has caused a
prying society reporter of New York to obtain
and publish the passenger list Of the vessel in
question. AS it happened, there were not many
lady passengers on that trip, but the greater
number of them were unmarried and each one
of them is now likely to be an object of sus pi-
cion to her acquaintance until the mystery is
cleared up by the marriage and consequent pub
LEGATION of the persevering brides name.

The Democratic press is badly divided as to
the percentage of the party that favors civil
service reform in the spirit of the Pendleton
measure. The New York Herald says:
'The Democratic party carried the election
on certain promises of reform, which it is
bound to keep or else go to disgraceful and
lasting defeat The President, against
the will of, as we believe, only small part of
the party, is honestly trying to redeem the
party's promises"
Yet this ''only a small part of the party"
has swayed the entire Democratic organize
ton, and compelled the Civil-service Commits
sion to eulogize Mr.. Jones, a man who made
no concealment of the fact that he enter
tanned nothing but contempt for the civil
service rules.
The New York Sun, confident in the belief
that it speaks the sentiment of it's party, says:
'Now that the Hon. Aquilla Jones has been
'vindicated' by the Hon. Dormannus Bridg
man Eaton, the mugwumps ought to leave
Jones alone, and cluster again in graceful dis
order about the infract and Intangible Hig-
gins, Eugene the Terrible. Nobody has
indicated him, and the worst of it is that he
doesn't care plugged threecent piece about
being vindicated. Why are such people
allowed to harass the mugwump tenderfoot?"
Higgins nor any other Democrat seems
now to care for mugwump sentimezk. The
election is over, the nuts have been drawn
out of the fire, and the Democratic monkey
proposes to enjoy them while the mugwump
cat nurses her burnt paws.
But Frank Leslie's Weekly, less diplomatic
and correspondingly more honest, is frank
enough to disclose the truth:
''The question now is, Will the Vice presi-
dent set up party in opposition to his supe-
rior?-is the Crown Prince to head the hos
tility to the throne? It is obvious that the
Democratic party is seriously divided as to
the wisdom of Mr.. Clevelands policy, and
that vast majority of its members despise
the system of competitive examination for
office, and are in open or secret sympathy
with Messrs. Hendricks and Jones'"
The Weekly is undoubtedly right in its
estimate of the sentiment of the Democratic
party-'Ea vast majority of it's members de-
spise the system Of competitive examina-
ton" The Weekly goes further, and pre-
diets that any internecine war among Demo
Gratis will not result in destroying the civil
service laws "These were passed" it says,
''by union of the more thoughtful elements
of both parties, in obedience to popular de-
mand, and Republicans will stand by the
reform-at least enough of them to perpetuate
it" There is enough in these excerpts from
Democratic papers to set even mugwumps into
the proper channel Of thought. The Democratic
party, almost as an entirety, has only con-
tempt for this law, and its only hope is in the
Republican party.

now lacking is public sentiment to accept the
facts and welcome their application. WhaS is
wanted everywhere is favorable sentiment,
especially on the part Of women themselves.
After thirty years of labor towards changing the
laws, it must be rather discouraging to the

the law is with them in that State, to discover
that they must create sentiment before women
will take advantage of their privileges.

THE Washington Post having exhausted
the resources of the English language in
praises of the President, has turned its atten-
ton to the Cabinet and, beginning with the
Secretary of the Navy, gives that gentleman
half column Of panegyric, of which the fol-
lowing extract is a specimen:
Secretary Whitney is the ideal Cabinet
officer. He has youth, with all its vigor and
elan; he has experience, with its wisdom; he
has industry, with its propelling power He
is courteous to everybody; never peevish nor
Frustrated by overwork though always busy;
not rendered vainglorioUs by his position, but
approachable by all. He has serious convic-
tons, but they do not relate to the splendor of
his personal prominence or to the inferiority
of the rest Of the world. He has aspirations,
but they do not contemplate his own apotheo-
sis or a corresponding abasement of the
active, intelligent and modest official, who re-
allies his obligations to the country, and has
both the disposition and the ability to dis
charge them. He has accepted Office with q
full understanding of its responsibilities, and
with the firm resolve to fulfill them, one and
all. There is wholesome and refreshing air
surrounding him. He is Jealous without
ostentation, busy without fuss, efficient with
out parade. He is distinct and conspicuous
success"
1t is too late to offer advice in this matter
or we should have suggested to the Post to
begin as it could hold out. 1t is morally and
verbally impossible to keep up this style of
eulcgy with the constant increase of
sloquence and final rhetorical china x
