CURRENT COMMENT.

Chicago Inter Ocean: VIII the great
State of Illinois proceed to business? Ask
Haines.
Philadelphia Press: In Senatorial con-
tests everywhere, be it New York, Penn
sylvania, or Illinois, the rule should be:
Put none but Protectionists on guard.
Detroit Times: The crowds of custom
ers TO be cen any fair day in the princi-
evidence of pressing hard times In this
city.
Philadelphia Times: With so many OF
the chief elements of business activity in
existence as at present, gradual and
sure recovery can be confidently looked
for The surplus capital of the country
will not be allowed to remain idle for a
great while.
INDIANAPOLIS Journal: We want to
see an aye and no vote on the proposition
TO put General Grant on the retired list
of the army. We want to see how many
Indiana Democrats can not forgive the
commander of the Federal armies for
having led them to victory over Demo
cratic rebellion.
Detroit Nelrs: We don't know who
Mr. Kilbourne is; but with all respect to
him, he talks like fool. Why doesn't
he go in for the place himself? The truth
is, that the one thing that would ruin the
Democracy of Michigan is the appoint
ment of one of their numerous nonenti-
ties TO Cleveland's cabinet, Of which, for
tunately for them, there is not the slight
est danger 1t is doubtful even if they
do not go all to pieces under the influence
| of a few custom houses and pOstOffices.

be gas an unsdultsFated Democrat; IN
deed, by refusing q stock Of liquid ss-
freshments, he has done much 70 make
the world suspect that LIS -
not. 1t was bolting Rspublicans who
elected him Mayor AMI Governor, as
well as President. he has never proved
by any public utterance that he embraced,
or even recognized, any distinctive char
acteristics Of the Democracy.
Not only il it true that the Democratic
party did not elect Cleveland and
that Cleveland has not proved
himself 10 be a Democrat, but, IN
the presence Of it's assisted victory
the party has no living princi-
pies. The tariff is a living issue, but the
Democrats are divided upon IT. Ask half
a dozen leading Democrats as you meet
them on the streets what Is the Demo
cratic theory Of the right Of the govern
ment TO make internal improvements, to
regulate railroads in the states or TO pro-
vide for popular education, and yon
would be likely to find them about equal
ly divided.
The newspapers and the men who help
ed Cleveland into Office are beginning
already to criticize the Democratic party
and show no proof of any intention to
remain by it. In the nature OF things
Cleveland cannot long retain them and
the Democratic party. One man cannot
weld two such incongruous elements into
permanent unitv. The work Of disinte-
grafton has begun. The outlook for the
Democratic party is such as to warrant
fear rather than hope.

1t would be a strange thing If the very
success Of tho Democratic party after Its
long years ~ continual defeat, should
prove Co be It's death throe. and yet this
result Is not impossible. There are those
who to-day discover more striking signs
Of approaching dissolution than ever be-
fore. aud force Is added to the thought
by the fact that the view Is shared by a
daily increasing number of those who
stayed by the party through its long
years Of adversity. The event of Cleve-
lands securing the Presidency was due
to number ~ causes outside the Demo
cratic party. The Burchard business. the
pe'monico dinner. Conkhng's chronic

Beautiful Spring.

The temperature at st. Johnsbury, Vermont
Wednesday morning, was 80 degrees below
zero. The snow there is two feet On level.
The temperature at Niagara Falls was eight
degrees below zero the same morning. The
ice bridge is growing larger by the accumula-
ton of broken ice going over the falls.
A heavy snow storm prevailed on Tuesday
night along the Atlantic coast line in North
Carolina, from Pleasant Hill to Wilmington,
covering the ground to depth of six to ten
inches. Snow was still falling at Weldon
Wednesday morning.
From 6 to II inches of snow fell Wednes-
day morning in the upper counties of South
Carolina.
ST. JoHN, N. B., March ia heavy
northeast storm commenced early this morn
ing and still prevails. There has been a
heavy fall of snow, and it is being piled up in
huge drifts. The railways east and west are
blockaded, and all trains are late.
The storm was the worst of the season.
Teams could not make Roadway through
some streets, and very little business has
been done. Public meetings announced for
today had to be postponed. No steamers
left port, and railroad communication was
seriously interrupted. The Quebec train, due
here at 7.30 a. M, had not arrived at p. m.
The storm, which is general throughout the
province, still prevails. Nearly two feet OF
snow has fallen.
HALIFAX, N. S., March ia southeast
storm is prevailing here. 1t began with snow
and has changed to rain. In some parts of
the country the snow drifts are interfering
with railway trains.

The United States to rake a Hand.

The action of Barrios, of Guatemala, in en-
deavoring to consolidate the Central Ameri-
can states into one government has aroused
the United States The following preamble
and resolution, introduced into the Senate on
Friday of last week, was passed on Wednesday:
"Whereas the Senate of the United states
has learned that the government OF the re-
public of Guatemala has set on foot, or threat
ened to set on foot, an invasion of the terri
tories of the republics of Nicaragua, Costa
Riea and San Salvador, with the professed
object of consolidating into one government
the republics of Central America by force of
arms and against the wishes of the several
republics concerned; and whereas there is
pending between the United States and the
republic of Nicaragua treaty providing for
the construction of an interoceanic canal
across the continent and in the republic OF
Nicaragua for the general benefit of all the
Central American republics as well as the
United States, which treaty, it is understood,
the republic of Nicaragua has ratified: There
fore
'sBe it resolved, as the judgment Of the Sen
ate, That in view of the special and impor-
tant interests of the United States in conjunc-
ton with those of the republics of Nicaragua
and Costa Rica in the interoceanic transit
across the continent, so in progress of adjust
ment, any invasion of the territory of Mica
ragua or Costa Rica by the forces of Guate-
mala, under the circumstances and with the
purposes before stated, is regarded by the
Senate and ought to be treated by the United
States as an act of unfriendly and hostile in
reference with the rights of the United States
and of the republics of Nicaragua and Costa
Rica in respect of said matter.
'sResolred, That copy of the foregoing
preamble and resolution be transmitted to the
President of the United States"
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1885-03-21
So Far So Good.

The new Administration at Washington so
far is doing admirably. The appointments
made have been universally commended, with
one exception, and the President and Cabinet
are calling around them men ofine character
and ability-young men of yigor and business
capacity, who will materially aid in restoring
the government to the simplicity and econo-
my of the early days of the republic. The
President has found it convenient to dispense
with one half Of the clerks at the White
House; Secretary Manning has discharged
thirty-eight clerks from the Treasury Depart
ment, whose services were not necessary, and
the other heads of Departments will dispense
with all purely ornamental appendages. The
horses and carriages kept by the several De-
partments for the use Of officials have been
ordered to be sold, because they were an I'M
necessary expense to the government. The
steamer Tallapoosa, which has been used as
a pleasure yacht by the President, Cabinet
and other government officials, has been Or
dered to be repaired, and will be put into the
regular service. There is to be no more use
of government vessels or other property for
private purposes, and the most rigid economy
viii be enforced everywhere. Under Cleve-
lands administration government employees
will have to demean themselves as public
servants, not as masters of the people; they will
have to render honest labor for their salaries,
and they will not be permitted to be political
ly officious Nothing is more repulsive to the
public taste than to see primaries and conven-
tons domineered by ofice-holders.
So far, we repeat, the new Administration
is doing admirably, and is receiving hearty
support from the people, irrespective of party.
The Cabinet is able and conservative, and we
have yet to hear of single adverse criticism
upon it. The President is moving cautiously
in removing officials, which is proper, and is
exercising great prudence in filling their
places. We believe he is working surely and
steadily to one great end, and that is an en-
tire reorganization of the government, and a
year hence there will be few, comparatively,
of the present Republican officials and en-
ployes left in certainly none of the
dishonest or officious class.
