IT Is only necessary to say Of President
CleYeland's Cabinet that it is composed
of pure, upright and able men, from
Mr.. Bayard, Secretary of State. TO Col.
Villas, Postmaster General. We hardly
believed that he would take three such
leading Democrats out of the Senate as
Bayard, Lamar and Garland, which
will very materially weaken the Demo
cratic strength in that body, but he
wanted them aud they were willing to
gratify him, which ends all discussion
of the subject. 1t said that the Pres.
ident originally intended to give Indi-
ana, New Jersey and Connecticut each
a member of the Cabinet, but that the
opposing Democratic factions in these
States could not or would not agree
among themselves and he was. there
fore, compelled to go elsewhere. II

The law should rigidly be enforced
which prohibits the immigration of SER

reform in the administration of the gov

principals to public affairs. AS means
to this erd civil service reform should
be in good faith enforced. Our citizens
have a right to protection from the in
competency of public employees, who

amendments. All discussion as to their
fitness for the place accorded to them as
American citizens is idle and unprofita-

improvement. The fact that they are
citizens entities them to all the rights

The war in the Soudan or upper
Egypt between England and the follow
ers Of tie False Prophet has been yir-
tually suspended since the fall of Khar-
toum and the death OF General Gordon.
and no active military operations are
contemplated by General WolseIy dur
ing the summer. In an address to his
troops at Korti on Saturday last he said
that it was no fault of theirs for failing
to rescue General Gordon, and added.
But we will meet Gordon's betrayers
at the gates of Khartoum before the end
or the year" Whether the False Pro-
phet will allow Wolsely to carry out his
policy of inaction during the summer is
another question. The climate as we'll
as the want Of facilities for moving
troops and munitions Of war are the
most serions obstacles with which the
British commander has to contend
while the fanatical spirit of the troops
OF the Prophet may force him to adopt
an aggressive movement. In that event
the consequences to Wolsely's army
may be very serious, if not fatal. What
business England has in organizing war
in upper Egypt has always been to us a
profound mystery. 1t is q right. how
ever, which she is in the habit of as
serting in Asia and Africa and which
may yet end in her deep shame and hu-
initiation, if not her eventual permanent
and complete overthrow.

II. II. RIDDLEBERGER, who is Ma
homes congenial colleague in the U. S.
Senate, made a spectacle of himself by
taking up three or four days of the time
of the Senate in opposing the con6rma-
tion of Hugh McCulloch's nomination
as Secretary Of the Treasury. McCul-
loch being an honest man was opposed
to the repudiation of part of the public
debt of ViIginis,o which Riddleberger
was the author, and publicly denounced
it. OF course Riddleberger couldn't
forgive him and sought to make things
even by opposing McCulloch's con6rma-
tion. He was the only man in the Sem
ate who did so, and since then don It
seem to have learned anything or grown
the least bit wiser. On yesterday week
when the President sent to the Senate
the names of his cabinet advisers and a
motion was made by a Republican SEN
ator to proceed to their consideration
RiddlebeTger objected to Mr.. Bayard.
the new Secretary Of State, on the
ground that he was more of an English
man than Of an American, which meant.
OF course, that he was opposed to Bay
ard on account Of the resolution which
that gentleman offered in the Senate a
short time ago denouncing the attempt
to blow up The Parliament House and
the Tower of London with dynamite
Riddleberger seems to be in favor of
that method of helping Ireland although
every sensible Irishman is opposed to it.
His objection to Mr. Bayard's confrma-
tion had simply the effect under a rule
OF the Senate of postponing the matter
for the present, but his course was so
offensive to the Republican Senators
that he withdrew his objection on the
following day. Poor old Virginia must
mourn the day of madness and folly in
which she surrendered to the piratical
crew of repudiationists. We suppose
that O'Donovan Rosa is the kind of a
man whose selection as Secretary of
State instead of Thomas f. Bayard
would have pleased Henry H. Riddle
berger.

The new Postmaster General, VIM.
+. Villas, received high tribute last
week from the Republican Legislature
Of Wisconsin, of which State he has long
been a resident. II adopted a resolution
introduced by Republican eulogizing
his worth and integrity, and declaring
also that MT. Cleveland has notified the
public that "he has committed that
branch Of the Government service
which is nearest to the people to the
hands Of a clean, conscientious and pro-
gressive statesmen" President Cleve-
land evidently made no mistake when
he appointed Col. Villas who EFFORTS
such uustinted praise from his political
opponents.
