EMINENT DOMAIN.
A Right Which Attaches to the Proper Cor
pOrate Authorities.

pOA"
1t is a truism, or a principle of COM
mon law as old as civilization, that no
government does or can yield up abso-
lutely to any purchaser. its original
ownership to the soil, but in all grants
and sales a right Of property remains
in the government, or in the aggregate
body of the people in their sovereign
capacity, to resume such control and
possession as the law-making authority
may deem best to promote the public
good and general welfare.
If the proper authorities propose to
open a street, or charter a railroad, or
to open a park, or require lane for any
other reasonable purpose, and the own
er of lands in the route or space de-
sired refuse to sell, or ask an %eXorbitant
price, the state, under its right and
bower of eminent domain, has the
power of control, and the acknowl-
edged right to take possession of such
lands, paying therefor such just and
reasonable compensation as 1t, and not
the owner, may determine.
The Constitution of the United States
limits the exercise of this power and
right to cases where the public good
demands it, the necessity of which to
be determined by law.
The Constitution of the State Of Hi
nois provides ''that the exercise OF the
power and right of eminent domain
shall never be SO constructed or
abridged as to prevent the taking by
the General Assembly Of the property

Mr.. cleveland,s Critics.

President Cleveland is being adversely
criticised by two classes of newspapers. One
is the Independent Republican press, for
turning out Republicans and filling. their
places with Democrats who have been busy
party workers for many years. The other is
that class of Democratic papers who would
carry things with rush, and desire more
rapid changes. These criticisms do not affect
Mr.. Cleveland. He has a clear conscience
upon his acts so far, eats and sleeps we'll and
has gained fifteen pounds since his Inaugural
ton.
The Independent Republicans have no
cause to adversely criticise the President.
They have no claim upon him for fayors, and
no right to find fault with appointments, un-
less the appointees are dishonest and unfit.
No such allegations have been laid against
the appointees they oppose. Certainly it is
preposterous for such journals to expect the
President to keep Republicans in office. Mr..
Cleveland was nominated by the Democratic
party on Democratic platform. That plat
form declared that the fundamental principles
Of the Democracy must forever remain as the
best and only security for the continuance Of
free government, and denounced the Repub-
Ican party and its methods. There was no
uncertain language used by the party in an
nouncing its principles. No Republican
could expect the President to retain in office
men who had caused the party to denounce
Republican methods. The Democracy were
pledged to change those methods to methods
of honesty and economy. To accomplish that
a change was necessary. A change of men
and measures was the meaning of the victory
last fall, and change viii surely be made-a
radical change. In filling places, the Presi-
dent must be careful only to select upright
and competent men. Beyond competency
the Republican Independents have no right
to suggest. In selecting Democrats, it is only
right for the President to select those who
have been faithful workers to advance the
cause of Democracy. That is expected of
him, and rightfully, too Those who helped
to secure success should share in the favors
the President has to bestow.
As to the Democratic critics, we think they
are too hasty. Although last falls victory
meant change ofmen as well as ofmeasures,
yet it is necessary for the Administration to
proceed slowly and with caution. There
must be no impairment of efficiency in the
service, and no Earring to disturb the public
equanimity. To avoid these, it is necessary
to make changes gradually.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1885-05-09
When President Cleveland and ?

When President Cleveland and party were
returning from Gettysburg on Monday, where
they went to look over the battlefield, some
enthusiastic persons near Mount Hope station,
near Baltimore, saluted the President with
pistols. In order that the pistols might be
heard they stood near the train. The occur
renee has been made the basis of sensational
stories of an attempt to assassinate the Presi-
dent. The stories are ridiculous, and the
daily press is to be censured for publishing
such reports. They are calculated to prompt
some crank to violence, and to bring discredit
upon the country abroad, where they are not
so well understood.

The body of Fannie Lillian Madison was
found in a reservoir at Richmond, Va, on
the 18th of March, and few days later
Thomas J. Cluyerius, her cousin, was charged
with her death and arrested. The evidence
is only circumstantial, and there are several
missing links in it, although newspaper re-
porters and detectives have been working up
the evidence ever since the body was found.
The trial of Cluverus was begunin Richmond
on Tuesday 1t will drag along for many
days, and end in acquittal. Hundreds of
columns have been published about the TRACE
dy already, and the greatest Importance given
the case As the trial progresses interest
will be aroused by the sensational daily press,
and the case will become one of national
notoriety. The young lady was of high stand
ing, and Cluverius is a young lawyer.
