land two gentlemen whose appointment
TO appropriate offices everybody, without
regard to politics, will approve as just:
No. /, George b. Mcclellan; No. ., Horatio
c. King.
No. /. GEN MCCLELLAN.-lf any hu-
man being deserves democratic recogni-
tion it is he. The republicans removed
him as general in command of the armies
of the United States; they defeated him
for tho presidency, although ho was Sec
reformcr, George II i'eRdistoRiTih seTH;g
not hesitated to assail him on every occa-
sion for the last twenty years in all apt
ways and by all apt means, which we will
not recount. While attending the inau-
guration his house in New York has been
set on fire by irritated republicans, and
Mrs. Mcclellan and Miss May Mcclellan
have lost their elegant wardrobes, pur-
chased in honor of the election, after
twonty years Of waiting, of democratic
president. Little Mac and these beau
tilul, accomplished, and gracious ladies
deserve, and must receive, Immediate
recognition. There arc not wanting,
even in democratic circles, malicious
creatures who do not hesitate to
say that Gen. Mcclellan and his
attractive family would better grace the
white house than its present occupants.
Haste, therefore, should be made to stop
such talk and pay this debt of twenty
years standing, and to accord TO Con.
Mcclellan one of the highest offices
within the Presidents gift now he has
disposed Of the cabinet places.
To Mcclellan aud Hancock the demo-
cratic party owes much. 1t seduced
them from their supreme devotion to
tho union cause and held before their
eyes the glittering temptation of the
presidency. But the stalwart republi-
cans Of the nation interposed with Grant
and Garfield, who gained the prizes.
When a real chance for victory camo il
was not allowed TO either Mcclellan or
Hancock to win, but TO Cleveland lie

Ian. We feel authorized to say that the
republican senators will offer no opposi-
tion to McClellan's appointment to any
office to which he may be nominated
save ono--that now occupied by Sheridan,
Of Winchester.
No. 2, GEN. HoRATIo C. KING.-This
accomplished lawyer and honorable gen
tleman is qualified for any position to
which he may aspire. The President
means to appoint him to a high place.
Why delay2 Is he to have the solicitor
generalship from which Mr. Phillips has
so gracefully retired? Or is it TO be some
other important legal position? lie has
faithfully served the new administration;
he should not wait long for his reward.
Enter Mcclellan and King. Lot us have

they will be two of tho most respectable
appointments of the new President. Let

AT this early stage Of the new admins.
tration it could not be reasonably ex-
pected that its policies would be unmis-
takably developed. Undoubtedly much
that will constitute its character in the
eyes Of the country must yet be evolved
from study, deliberati6n, and frequent
consultation over problems coming up for
settlement. But, unlsss present indica-
tions are fallacious, oae important policy
must be taken as practically settled.
President Cleveland Fhas ayowed his de-
termination to maintain the enforce
nent Of tho civil service law in such ex-
plicit terms as to win the appreciation
and respect Of even his political oppo-
nents. The series OF interviews with the
members Of his cabinet, which have boen
published in our columns, show that they
are all in accord with him upon this sub
iect. Tho conservative course of the
President in relation to removals and ap-
pointments since his inauguration is un-
luestionably q source of bitter disappoint-
mcnt and heartburning to the hungry
horde of oilice-seekers, but II Is
also hopeful indication TO the coun-
try that no means to act up to
the spirit of his professions. Despite tho
acrimony of partisan charges President
Cleveland knows that the great body Of
federal oiIice-holders arc faithful, compe.
tent people, who discharge their duties
conscientiously, and that they could not
be displaced by any body of men who
would do as we'll in their places until
long service had drilled them into an
equal acquaintance with tho routine of
the various offices, 1t is certainly to his
credit that he recognizes tho fact that tho
interests Of the people and the public
service are synonymous, aud quite diS-

IT is announced that the President will
withdraw from the senate the Nicaragua
canal treaty and the various commercial
reciprocity treaties now pending before
that body. Such course, we believe,
should be condemned. So far as the canal
treaty is concerned its withdrawal now
will be regarded in Central America as a
backdown Of this country before the de-
clared intention of Barrios to subdue
Nicaragua and prevent us from building
sanal through her territory. We do
not believe the United States should
be put in the humiliating atti-
tude of submitting to coercion from
this audacious and INSCRIPTIONS usurper.
The future good of this country calls for
the ratification of the treaty, and it
should be left with The senate for its ac-
tion.

Nicaragua Prompt Action Necessary
by President Cisveinnd.
We trust that the pressure for Office
will not prevent tho new administration
from attending to American interests in
Central America, and saying to the tyrant
and usurpor Barrios of Guatemala that
his plan for sei1ing Nicaragua, Honduras,
Costa Rica, and Salvador and uniting
them under ono dospotio head, shall wait
the Judgment and pleasure of tho United
States. Our minister to tho Central
American states should DO directed to say
to Barrios that he must not Interfere
with Nicaragua, and 70 also inform tho
Central American republics that the
United States demands to be consulted
before any change of government on
thoir parts contaminated. To show that
business is meant the war ships of the
United States both on the Pacific and
Gulf sides Of the lsthmus should be di.
rcctod to proceed at once TO the coasts Of
Nicaragua.
When Senator Bayard opposed the rati-
fication Of the Nicaraguan treaty because
1t would embarrass the new administra-
tion we felt sure that mischief would
result. 1t has come in the shape Of this
comp d'cidi OF Barrios, which only prompt
action on President Clovolauds part can
avert.
Asan additional blundor, however, 1t is
even said that the treaty is to be withdrawn
from the senate This will almost be d
crimo against the country. Such cow
arlly policy should bo changed and the
administration should take strong Ameri.
can ground on the canal question. Th,
democrats have been proclaiming these
many years their capacity to govern thi:
country. Now they have a chance; lc
/ them show their mettlc. They hav,
made bad mistake to begin with, an,
/ have brought on civil war in Contra
| America. Let them promptly arrest it b,
bold utterances and acts. Barrios nov
only knows that Mr. Bayard is agains
tho treaty. How soon will the latte
teach him that he still means to prOtcc
and defend American interests on tn
Isthmus? There is no time to lose Com
to the front at once, democrats, or ac

LAST autumn the propriotors of several
establishments in Baltimore where pools
were sold on all tho races going on
throughout tho country were indicted for
maintaining gambling houses and con-
victed. Appeals to the supreme court
were taken, aud the pool rooms wero
closed Tho supreme court has now de-
cidcd that pool selling is not illegal, and
the numerous faro dens of Baltimore will
now have the active competition of the
equally hurtful pool rooms. The decision
may be good law in Maryland, but it was
not one in the interest of good morals.

MAJ. CLARKE's removal from the office
of commissioner Of pensions, to which
position he has been raised by successive
promotions from that Of an ordinary
clerk. seems hardly in keeping with the
spirit of the civil service law. And
when it is coupled with call for the res
iSuation of the first and second deputy
commissioners it looks as though Secre-
tary Lamar intended that democratic
hopes of clear sweep should. not meet
with disappointment. II eaSh cabinet
officer is TO be a law unto himself in the
matter Of removals and appointments in
his own department, we shall have civil
service reform in theory at the white
