Of the desert. bnt boldly informs the new Gov

October 20 in two columns. one directed n3on

He suggests that all offers of amnesty should
be accompanied by threats to punish with

Smalley is a member of the present Democratic
National Committee. He was member of the
same organization when it lent itself to the
crime against the American people having for
its object the defeat OF General Garfield by
means of pitiful forgery. His position IN
Vermont is pretty much the same as Mannlngs
in New York-he is recognized MS Democratic
boss. Nevertheless, President Cleveland
removed IL Republican whose term of Office had
only recently begun in order to appoint Mr..
Smallcy Collector at Burlington. Why was the
Republican removedi Because he was an
offensive partisan. Why was Mr.. Smalley
appointed In the face of the palpable fact
that he was as offensive partisan as the Green
Mountain State contains.

address, ais to give Il moral pledge to the

4 RULF THAT OUGHT To WORK BOIH
HAYS

In his address before the National League OF
Civil Service Reform Associations, Mr. George
William Curtis remarked that in declaring
offensive partisanship to be n just cause or
@rcmoval the President confirms the views OF
"Gallatin and Webster and Harrison, and IN
"cnforcng those views he acts upon the
ssoundest principles of reform" Now grant
ing that Mr.. Curtis is entirely correct, does it
not follow as an equally sound principle OF
reform that if offensive partsanship is just
cause for removal it is by the same token just
cause for declining to appoint WHAT sort OF
n code OF political ethics is it which holds that
what is sauce for the Republican goose il not to
be regarded rs sauce for the Democratic gan
dcr1 If offensive craftsmanship be an evil III a
Republican it is an evil in Democrat.
Gaatin, Webster or Harrison would laugh mt
the proposition that ii was defcnsibc to turn
out Republican because he was an offensive
partisan only TO turn in Democrat IN spite of
the fact that his offensive partisanship was
known and read of all men who take an intelli
gent interest in politics.
If Mr.. Curtis will run his eyes over t!.c list Of
President Clcvcland's appointments and
removals, he will discover that although
offensive craftsmanship has cost many Rcpub-
lican official his place, it has not prevented
Democrats from obtaining Office. Daniel
Manning has long been prominent figure IN
the politics of this State For several years he
has been chairman of the Democratic Com
miltcc. He occupies that position to-day. lie
is known as skilful and persistent wire
puller, boss mighty in caucnses and convcn-
tons not too particular abont the means by
which he reaches his political ends. In short,
he is IN offensive partisan If there ever was
one. Nevertheless, knowing him 10 be such
partisan, Mr.. Cleveland did not hesitate to
appoint him To the leading position in his Cab
met. Take another example. Bradley u.

THE Co.oKED PEOPLE AND GRANT

THE COLORED PEOPLE AND GRANT.
Ii is interesting to observe the strong feeling
shown by the coored people of New York in
regard to the death Of Grant. Those who hold
to the once common view that they were
mercurial and superficial race, incapable of per-
manent convictions and careless of everything
but the passing excitement OF the hour, would
be shaken in their belief did they stroll into the
nrighborho0d most affected by the negroes, and
note the extent to which the houses have been
drapcd in mourning on this occasion. Most OF
the decoration is necessarily cheap and crude.
Tor the people are poor, but there is enough Ct
il to show general purpose and genuine
feeling. II has also been remarked that the
colorcd citizens have been strongly represented
in the line of visitors to the City Hall, and
hundreds of them have taken their children
with them, and held the little ones up that they
might look upon the flce of the dead General.
II il just inference from these evidences that
something better than curiosity has moved
these people that they understand and APP
prccate Grants relations to them aud their
race and that they cherish his memory inteli-
gently. Aud the fact that they do so i perhaps
~ good an answer "a could be fonnd 10 all the
Wllu taIk Oh Dyeohe uhfS "H l" ti'ii i"''''N'"'i
deficiencies and incapacity for progress.
Really the colored people have always shown
much more sensibity and apprehension than
was to have been expected from race SO long
cramped and manned by slavery, and they have
exhibited. since they became free. re-
marhablc power of sef-hclp, and an ambition
to rise. which of itself is a strong aid to adj
vanccmcnt. In the present instance they have
displayed Il commcndabc realization of what
they owe to the dead soldier, and without the
least preicncc of ostentatiDn have cvnced
their esteem and regret by acts of homage none
the less grateful for their homrly simplicity.

HONOR TO LOI1L DEEDS.

The solemn rites of this day express the grief
of many and the gratitude Of a Nation. They
close career which will kndle the zeal of
Americans rs long as the Nation lives. ii was
a marvellous career. General Grant was not
born in the purple nor nursed in the lap OF
luxury. But the country gave him soldiers
training, and he used it not to destroy but to
save the Nation. His name shines now the
more brightly because ho did not dazzle or
startle by his native genius. but had to over
come much in himself before he could put down
outside foes, and thus grew before the eyes of
the people to be the General and the statesman
that the world now honOrs. In land where
many wished and many talked, and some were
traitors, he was foremost of those who acted
and were true.
That was enough. II is q laxative world, but
deeds ring through the hearts 81 all mankind.
