POSITION.

Parnell deserves better of Ireland and
the Irish people than any man who has
appeared upon the scene in fifty years.
He is q remarkably able statesman and
Parliamentary leader. He has accom-.
plished more for his people during his
brief public career than had been wrested
from the iron hand of Britain in genera
tions before. And he is just now getting
in condition to demand absolute Home
Rule for Ireland, and he will enforce
obedience to his demand as sure as he is
permitted to guide the destinies of the
great party of which he is the most con.
spicuous member. His party now holds
the balance of power in English politics,
and he IAN make or unmake the Govern.
ment at will. 1t is confidently expected
that the coming elections will result in
large accessions to his forestry some it
is estimated that the members Of the
Irish party will number so in the next
Commons. With SO powerful a minority,
skillfully handled. as Mr.. Parnell knows
30 well how to do, there can be no end
to the concessions he will be able to
secure for his people. The Parnellites
are a power in the English Parliament
to be no longer despised by either Tory
or Liberal. Neither side can get along
without the aid of the Home Rulers,
and the consideration for their support
will mean ut all times the more liberal
treatment of Ireland. The situation as
presented is a most delightfully."- salts.
factory one. The days Of English tyran.
MES and dungeons are drawing to an end,
thanks to the deep sagacity and
ing patriotism OF the matchless Parnell
and his worthy compeers; and through
it all we see emerging the brightest gem
Of the ocean, made brighter still by the
radiance of her own free institutions and
laws, and teeming with millions of happy
and contented people. renowned in all
lands for their devotion to principle and
just government among men.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 29.-Lucius A. White,

Brazilian Treasury notes, was brought be-
fore the United States Commissioner this
afternoon. He waived a preliminary ex-
animation, aud was committed to jail to
await the action Of the United States Dis
trict Court in November. He has made a
voluntary statement to the District Attor-

revealed, however, and it is probable he
will enter a plea of guilty when the case is

BUT WHAT OF TuE LAW.

By the recognized rule OF all parties,
the Democrats won the Federal offices in
the last Presidential election. In this
country, where the ballot boxes rule,
parties could not be necessarily main
tanned for a single year unless men at the
head of an administration appoint as
their su%bordinates those who concur in
their measures and objects. The motives
that impelled Mr.. Cleveland to select
Democrats for his Cabinet in the place of
the Arthur Republicans demand that the
like changes be carried through every
department of the Civil Service.
The above paragraph was sent to the
SENTINEL Office yesterday by one of Eu-
reka's stalwart Democrats who believes
in turning all of the ~rascals out"
There are a good many faithful Demo-
Gratis in every part of the land who argue
for a "clean sweep" just as our local
friend does. II the conditions would
permit it the writer would be as strongly
in favor of the doctrine as any one. But
the law steps in. What are we to do
about it? Would our stalwart friend
have the President run roughshod owe
all forms of law! Neither are the cases
cited analogous. There is no tenure in q
Cabinet officer. He serves at the pleas.
ure of his chief. So with a good many
other officers, most of whom have been
already displaced by President Cleve-
land. And there is another class who
hold commissions, "by and with the ad.
vice and consent of the Senate" for four
years. What is to be done with these
The title by which they hold is as good
under the law as that Of the President
himself, so long as they behave them
selves and faithfully discharge their pub
lie duties. The mistake that Democrats
make is in forgetting that there has beer
a Tenure of Office statute enacted since
their party had possession of the Govern
ment in 1860. Prior to that time it wal
in order to make a "clean sweep" with
every change of administration. Blu
now we have a law which provides tina
Federal officials of a certain grade shall
hold for four years, if in the meantime
they shall demean themselves with de
cency and properly attend to their Of
fetal duties. There is no escape from
the law as it stands. Removals can, o
course, be made "for cause " on a prope
showing, the "cause" referred to bein,
a neglect of duty. A new-fangled ide;
about offensive partisanship " has ais
grown up under the present Administra
tion. For our own part we have NJ
sympathy with the doctrine. 1t in
wolves exparte charges against our neigh
bors which is too unfair and too un.Ameri
can to suit our ideas of what is right ant
honorable between man and man. What
ever others may do, we shall never file
sworn charge to get any man out of a,
Office in the possession of which, unit
his term expires, he is protected by
solemn law of the land. We would
sooner turn them out as Republican,
than as Offensive " Republicans.
