GOVERNING ON BUSINESS PRIN,
CIPLES..

We believe that Grover Cleveland is
faithful and honest in his purposes.
That his purposes are to give to his adj
mitistration the strength and soliditys Of
an administration conducted upon safe
business principles. Cliqucs, rings. par
ties, the Influence" Of Congressman
and professional politicians have no
weight with him, save when they main
tain the conduct Of governmental affairs
upon q safe business basis. We were
not. in favor Of the re-appointment Of
Henry g.. Pearson rs postmaster in the
city Of New York. We deemed that an
Office Of such magnitude politically that
for the good Of tho Democratic party
we should have a Democrat therein. If
aman is honest in his purposes and is
an encrgatic Democrat, then he must pre-
fer men Of that political party to any
other, in order that thereby the Demo
cratic party may be strengthened and
the country improved. 1t was upon the
principle, that VIC believe in Democratic
supremacy, and that the condition Of the
country will be improved thereby, that
we favored n Democratic postmaster.
Cleveland seems to have been Of a diff
ferent opinion. We suppose wc will
have to give up to him. There is this
consolation in the appointment of Pear
son. There arc many business men in
Now York and elsewhere throughout
the powerful manufacturing and bust
ness North, who care solely for q govern
ment that will be 30 stable as to shock
as little as possible the business inter
ests. To them politics amount to little,
dollars and cents to everything. They
hold no offices, they care for none, and
their political sympathy goes out warm
lY to those who will ensure to them by
example rather than precept that their
guiding principle is a solid and SAT: gov
eminent. It is possible then that in this
view of the matter the democracy will
gain that floating element whose ideal
government is one, not Of constant
wholesale %upheavals, but Of steady, sure
development, and in the end Cleveland
will be right. It is impossible to fore
cast the effect of four years of sys-
tcmatic courageous maintenance Of the
principles that have so far actuated
Cleveland in his thirty days reign. The
bow of promise is certainly in the heav-
ems. We trust that he may be faithful.

SOUTH CAROLINA'S PLACE IN

1t naturally causes q considerable

politically, during the last thirty days.
The retrospect is very painful. The

been needed by the man Of destiny and
while we have implicit faith in the in
tcgrlty Of his purposes and in the ulti-
mate success Of his administration we
cannot hut regret, in our disappoint-
ment that all things have not turned out
as we expected.
The Senate has adjourned and South
Carolina returns e,npty-handcd from

Union where immediat reform is 30

Yet Melton and Taft and johnson and
Wilder and a score Of other towering
poppics are left in tho garden to bios.

missions we come up missing also,
These disappointments naturally leave
an uneasy, rutlcd feeling in our breasts,
but for the public good, the welfare Of
the great commonwealth we will take j!
as our portion, hoping for better things
in the future. Cleveland has certainly
given great promise of an impressive
administration, which in the vigorous
support Of the principles of civil service
reform will certainly leave it's stamp up
on the history Of the country, and will
ensure peace and prosperity with stabil-
ity and confidence.
