TIE PHILADELPHIA POSTN4STERSHIP ,

THE PHILADELPHIA POSIU4STERSHIH
The interview which we PRINT in another
column with Ex-Governor Schuyler Crosby,
who as the late First Assistant Postmaster
General had certainly an ample opportunity TO
know of what he is talking, furnishes strong
support to The TRIBUNEs frequent allegation
that the President is abandoning even the hOl-
low pretence of Carrying out the ClNu service
Reform law 1t has never been anything more
than pretence. His Administration. aside
from its work of fighting American stcam' hip
lines and American shipbuildcrS and OF pro-
noting PAN Electric telephone stock. has been
confined to the business of handing out Offices,
and in that work the one controlling principle
has been partisan reward. 1t is no credit to HIM
that he has not absolutely intcrfered with the
operations of the law so far as they affect two
penny cleIkships in the various custom-houses
and post offices of the large cities. He found
the law doing its well-arranged work when he
became President, and it must be actnowl-
edged that he has done nothing more serious
than threaten it, That sort of negative and
reluctant reform may satisfy those probes
sionaI rcformers whose reputation for consis-
tency is so shattered and threadbare that they
have no alternative but to indorse all their
cruel idol does, and swallow all he says, with
blind disregard of its accompanying Wink.
But ii does not satisfy those VINO believe In a
tangible reform. 1t does not atone Tor the
large class of appointments OF which the one
Governor Crosby speaks OF Is only sample.
This case is noticeable only because It's motive
is so perfectly apparent as to defy the ingenuity
of the Presidents most imaginative apOIogist.
| The Postmaster of great city, reappolnted
less than q year ago because Of his mcrltoilouS
and perfect service, and in accordance with a
| unanimous public wish, is removed without ex-
PLANTATION to make room for one of Congress
man Randars workers" That ia the in
a nutshell Mr.. Cleveland needs Mr.. Randall
| in Congress and Mr. Randall wants fat berth
| for his friend and so they barter off the Phia-
dephia post Office to their mutual profit. The
ope-armed Union General, whom the law pre-
fers for places in the Civil Service, is of NJ ac
count. The advantage of the postal service,
which that officer had so faithfully cared for, is
| of no account The Presidents written and
| sDoken pledges-even they are swept aside
| Mr. Randall got the Office for his friend and
Mr. Randall will pay his debt to the President
on the floor of Congress.
What SOFT of reform is this Does Mr..
Cleveland think the people so simple that they
fail to see through such dickers 7 Ii is time he
dropped any further attempt to impose upon
the public, and adopted Governor Crosby's sug-
gestiOn that officials be removed because they
are Republicans, and appointed because they
are Democrats" Then, as Mr.. Crosby justly
remarks, whatever the people might think OF
Democracy in its relation to reform they
would at least accord the Administration the
respect due candOr."

PRINCE ALEY1NDERS POSITION.

Prince Alexander is reported to have re-
pulsed the victorious SeIvians. Concentrating
his forces against the entrenched line of the
main division OF King Mians army, and lead
ing them in person. no has certainly made a
strong stand and possibly has struck a serious
blow near Slivnitza, though the reports are con
hicting. When the Servian reserves are dis
patched to the front and the two chief columns
are united, the Bulgarian forces may be speed
ily routed. But meanwhile the courage Of
Prince Alcxander's subjects will be partially re-
stored, and the Servians viii be convinced
that the march to Sofia is something more than
a dress parade or holiday excursion.
In his diplomacy Prince Alexander is less
successful than he Is in the field His appeal to
the Porte for assistance has met with curt re-
fusal. 1t will rot be considered unless he
abandons Eastern R0umelia and withdraws the
forces now supporting the revolutionary gOy-
eminent. The Sultan, while rapidly missing his
battaliOns near the present scene OF action, is
well pleased to stand by and see two jealous
nations of Christian Slavs wasting their re-
sources in internecine strife The Servians are
helping him to regain control Of Eastern ROu-
melia. They are also blocking i'll the south the
advance of the Greeks, who are less disposed to
declare war than they would be if their natural
allies in the Balkan were not cutting each
others tlI oats. The Porte is too well satisfied
with the present situation to intervene III be-

4TJvp uC4RrHY'S CONTTCTIOM

The conviction and sentence OF I'm
NcCorthv the notorious dirc-keepcr, Tor an
ossoult unon n woman ia matter for conSTatu-
Iotion tbough the defendant had escaped so
often when arraignrd on similar charges that
the stories about his Influence" were gencr-
ally accented rs true. This man is type OF
fine worst and most cowardly rutlians that
infest great cities. He appears to have an
absolute passion for beating women, number
of whom are usually hanging about his den'
and too much afraid of him to give honest
Testimony when he is prosecuted for some
assault. In this last trial desperate effort was
made to clear him by an abb, and the jury
evidently believed that some OF the wo men
who were put on tie witness stand by the
defence pcrjured themselves.
Owing to his mastery over these wretched
creatures aud also in a greater or less degree
to his political pull Mccarthy has been
able TO indulge his brutal inclinatiOns ioi a
long time with comparative impunity. II Is
true that he has on several occasions been com
pclled To defend himself against charges OF as
sault. but his lack. his lawyers and his
e friends" have borne him harmless until he
has become public scandal. Even in this last
case thc iury seem To have been all rctcd with q
strange and unreasonable tenderness, for they
only found him guilty of assault in the third
degree. The court fortunately had 40 compunc-
ton. and gave him the full penalty under the
law. namely years imprisonment and a fine OF
$500. This Is doubtless only faint recog-
milton nf his deserts. but II is something TO
know that the fellow was net beyond the law
altogether; a conclusion 10 which decent people
were in danger of being forced by the SUCCESS
with which he escaped Justice.

The record of twenty-nine lives lost III SIX
months in constructing the new aQueduct Is one
very discreditable to the contractors 1t was
their plain duty to the city to take all necessary
precautions to prevent injury to the employees +;
but it is clear that they have not done So
The Aqueduct Commission has directed It's
engineers to see that something Is done 10
stop this shameful slaughter OF human llie'
The Commission should see that the con-
tractors fulfil their obligations in this respect
1t is not the business of the city to assume any
responsibility which might lead TO suits for
damages. Perhaps, if John OBrien, the chair
man of the Democratic State Committee was
not one of the principal contractors, some more
energetic action would have been taken long
ago. 1t appears that Chief Engineer Church
did make some suggestions which were not
carried out.

Mr. Springer's appearance as leader of the
movement to change the rules of the House OF
Representatives is not likely to encourage its
friends. If he is concerned alone fer good
government he will need do something more
than talk about 1t to renew public faith in him.
Nothing in his past record as narrow and Bit
ter partisan encourages such belief.
