PRACTICAL GOOD SENSE
And sound Judgement That Should Win
the Confidence of the Country.

And sound judgement That Should Win
the Confidence of the Country.
New York, December 9.-The World
will say: The confidence Of the country
in President Clevelands sound judgment
in his practical good sense and in his firm
grasp of great public questions will be
confirmed and increased by his first mes
sage to Congress. 1t is something more
aud higher than q business message
Without conscious effort, apparently, and
certainly without visible strsining after
either the lofty or the profound, the Presi-
dent has impressed on his message the
stamp of broad and sincere patriotism.
Its comments and suggestions are many,
its principles few and the highest
TO defend the national dignity and
honor, to respect the laws himself and in
sist that others shall obey them, to punish
and prevent dishonest acts, to advance our
material interests and maintain eur ma
tional credit, and to put wisdom above
partisarship, these are the principles and
purposes which guided the Executive hand
in preparing the review Of the affairs OF the
nation. 1t is the complex sentiment OF
patriotism reduced 70 practical expression
and applied to the business of the State.
Upon the law and the principle Of Civil
Service reform the President speaks
with all the emphasis of firm
conviction, ripened and assured BY
experience. He is almost combatlve IN
his adherence to the growing results OF
this reform. Yet this temper is not out OF
place in his message in dealing with a
question in respect to which everything
depends upon his frmness and his courage,
He pictures forth in colors none too strong
the decentralization, not only tor the ser
vice, but Of the nation, to which the spoils
system was leading, and adds timely and
sensible word upon the evils of blind and
bitter psrtisanship. Nobody can read this
message without crediting its author with
q sincere adherence to his own doctrine
that public office is public trust.
