AN ARMY REGULATION.
Secretary Endicott Promoting the Disci-
pline of His Branch of the Service.

Secretary EndicOtt Promoting the Disci-
pline of His Branch of the Service.
The refusal of Secretary Endicott to
modify his order returning army officers
to their regiments after four years abb
sence on detached or staff duty shows
that he is man who, when he makes
up his mind, does not change his deter
mination for light or trivial reasons. 1t
is difficult to understand why Generals
Sheridan, Schotield, Pope and Howard
should be permitted to select a few
favorites out of the army and keep
them as aids for long term of years,
to the manifest injury of the service,
and it was scarcely the proper thing
for them to ask such favor.
The training which staff duty gives is
not of the kind that makes the best
soldiers. Men so employed for long
time become to n certain extent de-
pendent upon their commanders and do
not get the discipline which can only
come from the semi-independent COM
mands with their own regiments. They
naturally lose that confidence in them
selves which is so much to be desired
in the soldier when the time comes for
hard actual service. In that day the
officers who have given many years to
staff duties as the favorites of some
superior must still trust to their chef
rather than to their own merit for pro-
motion.
With a new system of frequent
changes a larger number of officers will
get general training in their
profession than has been possible under
the favoritism that has prevailed for
many years. But the most promising
thing about Secretary Endicott's ac-
ton is the indication that he means
what he says and that what he prom
ises he will perform. Every thing con-
sidered, the prospect is good that the
organization, the discipline and the
esprit of the army are to be promoted
under the present Administration more
thoroughly than for many years.

AN ABSURD CLAIM.
The Ohio Election Free from Complica-
cation with National Issues.

The Ohio Election Free from Complica-
cation with National Issues.
From two classes comes the claim
that the result in Ohio is a rebuke of
President Cleveland and his Administrs-
ton. One class is made up of the
Blaine Republicans, who have not yet
recovered from the bitterness of defeat
and are anxiOusly casting about for
such crumbs of comfort as can be ex-
tracted from political events. The other
class is composed of the Democrats who
regard the Presidents Administration
as failure because he has not replaced
every Republican in Office with Demo-
crat. For this neglect it is claimed the
Ohio Democracy has rebuked him by
net supporting the party ticket.
The claim is absurd. There is slight
ground, if any. for a claim that the
Ohio result has any bearing whatever
upon the President or his Administra-
ton. The election was about as dis
tinctly State election, and about as
free from any complication with Ma
tional issues, as any that was ever held
in Ohio or elsewhere. The State is
Republican and the Republicans carried
it, They may have been aroused by
Sherman's appeals to passion. They
probably were to some extent; and to
that extent National considerations en-
tered into the canvass and affected the
result. But nobody will be foolish
enough to claim that revived fanati-
cism on the subject of the Southern
vote means approval or dsapproval of
the President. If the Southern Repub-
lican does not get his rights at the bal
lot-box, as John Sherman so vocifer-
ously and Dramatically declares. it is
not due in any sense to the Admins
tration now in power. If it is charge
able to any Administration, it is 20
that of President Arthur and his Re-
publican predecessors; for it was I'M
der them that all the alleged outrages
which grieve the sensitive soul of Sher-
man occurred.
So far as the Republican claimants
are concerned, this claim that the Ohio
result bears upon President Cleveland
is as unimportant as it is untrue. In
the case of the Democratic claimants
it is fortunate the charm is untrue.
For if the Democratic defeat in
Ohio does mean anything special in
connection with the Administration it
means approval and not rebuke. What
ever else may be said, either for or
against the Democratic candidates and
leaders, this is true beyond question.
They represented unequivocally what
there was in the Ohio Democracy of OPP
position to the reform principles of
Cleveland and his administration. If
the Ohio Democracy had proposed any
rebuke for the President the effective
way to administer it would have been
to elect the men who shelved Pendleton
for his reform record. not to permit
their defeat. Detroit Free Press.

Senator Sherman's Ambition.

The nomination of Foraker meant the
putting of Sherman on the track for the
Senate, and his candidacy for the Presi-
dency in 1888. 1t would seem that
Sherman has succeeded in his initial
effort, and that now he is on the march
to the White House BY the United States
Senate chamber. The distance, how
ever, from the starting point, is a long
and devious one, and impeded by many
very formidable obstacles; it is hum
dreds to one that he will never accom-
plish it
1t is supposable case that every Re-
publican in Ohio is an aspirant for
Presidential honors, and there are ex-
cellent reasons for believing that each
has better claim to the place than
Sherman. His ambition is based on
sheer cheek and audacity. He is one
of the smallest Of the statesmen pro-
duced by the crisis of the war; he is
cold-blooded as q snake, insufferabiv
vain and selfish, and has not personal
friend in existence. As Presidential
candidate it is doubtful if he could
carry his own State Chicago Times.

THE JUDICIAL HEAD DROPPED.

The Way in Which President Cleveland
Treated the Chief-Justice of New Mex
leo.
Mr.. Cleveland apparently believes
that the business of a President is to
supervise the administration of the
Federal Government, and not to run"
State elections. The White House has
seldom had an incumbent who paid
such close attention to the proper du-
ties of an executive and who was SO
prompt to exercise his prerogatives
when occasion required. There is some
thing refreshing about the summary
wav in which he brought to book one
of his appointees in New Mexico. A
few months ago the President was per-
suaded. upon the strength of hearty in
dorsements, to make William A. Vim
cent Chief-Justice of New Mexico, al
though it afterward came out that Vim
cent was concerned in a land con-
troversy in that Territory some time
ago, in the course of which he was i'm
prisoned for contempt OF court News
reached Washington that he had an
pointed Steve" Dorsey one of the
three Commissioners to draw grand
and petit Jurors for the Territory, al
though Dorsey notoriouSly has many
disputed land claims pending in the
courts. and was thus given the power
to pick out his tools as jurors Upon
learning these facts Mr.. Cleveland
promptly suspended Vincent, and his
judicial career is undoubtedly ended.
There is no part of the Federal service
which needs closer watching than that
in the Territories, and an Object-lesson
SUCH as the President has given in the
Vincent case will do an immense
amount of good-N T. Post

A REUNITED COUNTRY.
Vain Efforts of the Republican Party co
Revive Bitter War Issues.

Vain Efforts OF the Republican Parry co
Revive Bitter War Issues.
Perhaps John Sherman. George FRS
bic Hoar ct al are no worse citizens
now in continually harping upon sec
tional issues than they were years ago.
The motives on both occasions were the
same. They wanted to make political
capital for the Republican party, and
did not care how many lies they told
about the South so long as they made
votes.
They carry to-day the same stock in
trade as they did twenty years ago, but
while they made converts then, they
lose their own voters now. 1t is, how
ever, just as criminal now as it was then
to appeal to feelings and passions grow
ing out of a sectional war.
After a four years contest between
the North and South, in which the feel
ings of both sides were wrought up to
the highest pitch. nothing could restore
good feeling between the sections ex-
cept time and association. The restor-
alton has come, and no efforts of sec
tiOnal and malicious politicians can set
it back
The South and North are united again
as they never have been. The material
interests of both sections are interviewer
and commingled so that they can never
again be separated. Northern and
Southern capitalists are jointly con-
cerned in enterprises of importance all
over the South. There is scarcely a
railroad in all that country in which
Northern men have not acquired an in
terest and all the new lines in the last
ten years have been built, more or less,
generally more, with Northern money.
In every State from here to Texas
Northern and Southern men together
are not only building railroads, but dig.
ging canals, developing coal mines,
erecting cotton-mills. bringing timber
to market and engaging in all sorts of
enterprises likely to benefit the State
and advance their own fortunes.
To all these men-their reaching out
after business shows them to be leaders
of thought and action in their several
localities solemn antics of Sher-
man and Hoar are worse than nause-
ating. No matter what their politics
may be, they realize what persistent
enemies of their common country these
reckless agitators are. There is no
more likelihood of the success of the
political schemes of these bloody-Shirt
raisers now than there was of the in
Simultaneous assumption, twenty years
ago, of the thorough good feeling and
harmonious relations which now so
generally prevail in every section OF our
common country.
People want no more sectionalism,
and no party will ever win another
fight on such a WORKOUT, preadamits

STERLING POLITICAL SENSE.

An Effort to Make the State and Presi'
Dental Campaigns short, Sharp and
Decisive"
A visitation of sterling sense has
finally come upon the Ohioans who,
having previously rejected such an
amendment, now pronounce for so
changing the State Constitution as TO
hold elections in November instead of
October. In Presidential years Fictitious
Importance will no longer be given to
the election in Ohio, which will be on a
plane with other States, and an end
will be put to the scandals attending the
conduct of campaigns there. What
materially Ohio will lose by the change
will be more than compensated morally.
A more important change Is likely to
follow. For many years the popular
sentiment has been growing that Pres
idential campaigns, commencing too
early, absorb altogether too much at
tent.on, to the great detriment of bust
ness interests, which dread a Presi-
Dental as almost certainly dull year.
The practice of early campaigns Is a
survival of the era when there were no
railroads or telegraphs and the trans
mission of information was necessarily
slow. The nominating conventions
used to be held in May. They have
been held as late as July. But all eff
forts to induce their postponement until
September. which would give abundant
time for every needful campaign, has
been rendered futile upon the lepresen-
ton that the Ohio election in October
would be too near at hand. This OBJ
lection removed. there now seems no
reason why, commencing with 1893, the
era of short Presidential campaigns
should not be entered upon Chicago

The Patriotic Sentiment.

The Ohio election being over. and the
bloody shirt retired for the time being,
the Republican press can afford to adj
NIT to their columns the following patri-
otto sentiment from the Memphis DIP
peal:
The South needs the North, but no more
than the North needs the South. We need
each other. The verdict of the war was that
the Union was indissoluble, that we were des-
tined to live together; and the Southern peo-
pie would not change that verdict If they
could.
Such utterances as this are by no
means rare in Southern papers, and
that they represent the feelings and
sentiment of the great majority of the
people of that section is conceded by
all but the most extreme Republics
partisans.-Bnfalo Times.

The queer black stick had fallen, and
was crunbling away, but 1t had crushed
the last Pickering fame. Miranda's fire,
like her hopes, had turned to ashes.
She walked the floor restlessly, seeking
vainly for pathway out of her troubles,
until she was exhausted. Then she slept a
troubled sleep until daylight.
1t was little comfort to get breakfast
for Ephraim's wife and boys, although she
was so heavy-hearted.
She went across the field tc Eben Curtis
to get bit of fresh fish; Eben had been
fishing the day before.
Eben, who was friendly young man,
looked at her pityiIgly as he put the fish
into her basket. As she was turning away
in unwonted silence, he was moved to saw:
az wouldn't take it so hard if I was you,
Miss Daggett. YOU'RE well rid OF such a
scamp. And may be they'll catch him and
get the money back. La, nowi you don't
say you hain't heard:" he exclaimed at
sight of Miranda's astonished face. 'They
most generally do get the news up at the
poor house." Eben lifted his hat and ran
his fingers through his hair, with a ming
ling of sympathy and pleasure in being
the first to impart important news. "He's
cleared out, the book agent has-got all the
money he could out of folks without giving
'em any books; and folks say he got some
of you. He's been in Jail for playing the
same trick before; and folks think he'll be
caught this time"
80, it's a mistake! He'll come back, !"
said Mirinda, dejectedly, after a moments
Thought
"Well, he isn't very likely to, because"-
here Eben turned his head aside in embar
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS he's got a wife and

Radiant delight overspread Miranda's
countenance.

"He's welcome to what money he's got of
mine-more'n welcome" And homeward
she went with light step.
"Women are queer" unused Eben, as he
returned to his fish-cleaning. ashes lost
her beau and her money, and she's tickled
to death"
81 declare, you look just as fresh and
young, and happy as you did fifteen years
ago" said the widow with q touch of
envy, as they sat down to the cheerful
breakfast-table.
Miranda touched Mrs. Bemis's arm as
she came out of the meeting house the
next Sunday, Ephraim's boys, preterna-
turally smooth of hair and shining of face,
beside her.
'If it amt perfane to say it, Mis- Bemis,
l feel as if I'd got through the eye of that
needle clear into the Kingdom of Heaven"
The poor mistress commented upon the
saying in the midst of her numerous
family that night. "She's got that selfish,
tempery woman saddled onto her for life,
and she'll work her fingers to the bone for
them boys, that amt anything to her, and

a CiviI-Service Oversight.

Attention is called by the New York
Sun to the singular truth that under the
operation of the Civil-Service reform
system ordinary clerks are required to
prove Their fitness by passing rigid ex-
animal Ons, whereas the autocratic
Commissioners who have charge of he
whole matter are chosen without any
test whatever, and according to the
personal preference of the man in the
White House The explanation prob
ably lies in the fact that when the sys-
tenn was established the contingency
of a Democratic National victory was
not considered, and the lawmakers
supposed that the appointment of the
Commissioners would always be in the
hands of a Republican President-St
Louis Globe Democrat.

LAST SHEAF FOR THE BIRDS.

Where the pines of barren Norway
Toss dark branches to the sky,
Where the days are long in winter,
And the summer hastens by,
Early was the harvest garnered,
Lest the frost should come too soon.
Down on fields of ripened splendOr
ShOne the golden harvest moon
"Hearken. ye." quota Farmer Olaf
Leave naught standing in the field;
Bear We TO M barns and stOTehouse
EUCTU spear the haryests yield
1t was done; the proud old farmer,
Blest before in lands and herds,
Gathered to him all the increase,
Left H0uc standing for the birds
All too soon the Northern winter
Spread its piniOns o er the land;
All too soon the Streams we're silent,
Fetiered by mighty hand;
And the birds, that cruel weather,
Found their standing sheaf no more;
Dying, for the lack of pity,
Down they fell about the door.
Little rocked the Farmer Olaf,
Mighty grown in lands and herds,
Filled his gamers to o'crhowing.
Nothing spared he for the birds.
Suddenly upon his fortunes
Fell blight. unheard, unseen:
Lands grew less. and herds diminished,
WondrOus change to him, ween.
Fled away his bountcous riches.
Poorer he, and poorer grown,
Till, at last he might Tot reckon
One small penny as his own.
Humbled by these mighty sorrows,
His proud heart grew meek with love.
"Truly," quOth the Farmer Olaf,
These NAV come but from above,
Showing that his humblcst creatures
Precious may be in His sight.
Fen the birds He holds forever
Welcome TO His food and Light"
And, full soon. an humble neighbor,
See ny Olaf S utmost need,
Gave, from his own scanty storehouse,
One small handful of the seed
And the rain came and the sunshine,
TIL again a full increase
Crowned the year; and Farmer Olaf
Felt within his spirit peace.
Ever more at summers ending,
Rich or poor be harvest yield,
Sacredly left Farmer OLAF
One sheaf standing in the field.
And. they say. where barren Norway
Lifts her pines against the sky,
Where the DAYS are long in winter,
And the summer hastens by:
''If one would, through all his lifetime,
Blessed be in lands or herds.
Let him, at the close of harvest,
Leave the last sheaf for Hc birds"
