NO "CRITICn TOMORROW.

If there is one holiday more than an
other in this country when the wheels of
toll should stop and all the people go out
to play, it is ON the Fourth of July. II was
ON this day ninety-one years ago that the
grandest chapter in the whole history of
civil liberty was written. Magma Charta
was great, but the Declaration OF Indepen
dence So much the greater that all the
nations can see the difference.
The United States in ninety years has so
enlightened the world with its progress that
France sends mighty monument across
the seas, in grateful recognition of what
America has done for freedom.
England, after seven hundred and sew
cnty years, is still handicapped with the
trappings of royalty and wrestling with
the franchise.
The Fourth of July, therefore, possesses
more significance than any other an
niversary on the calendar. There is no
holiday to compare with this. 1t were al
most sacrilege to ignore the associations
which it recalls, the lessons it teaches, the
blessings it commentaries, the immensity
of the future which it opens up to the
growth and development of human civili-
zation. Therefore should the wide Union
rejoice, and THE CRITIC proposes to rejoice
with it, ~

WHAT SENATOR CONGER SAYS =
1.-THE CRITIC" SUSTAINED.

An interview was held in Detroit yester-
day with United States Senator Conger Of
which clear and intelligible report is
printed elsewhere, in regard to the proba-
BILE action of the Senate next winter upon
nominations made by President Cleveland
during the recess.
Although Mr.. Conger does not repeat in
terms the language of the resolutions
agreed to in the March caucus, and which
The CRITIC was the first newspaper in the
country to make public, it will be seen
that he expresses substantially the same
views.
Theidea is simply this: That ofcourse the
Senate will not assume to interfere in any
way with appointments to Office where the
terms of the previous incumbents have
expired or in the case of such offices as
from their peculiar importance, and by
long usage, are associated with the policy
of the Administration and esteemed es.
sential to its maintenance, but that where
removals have been made OH the ground
of offensive partisanship, there is a very
strong probability that the Senate will in
stitute rigorous investigation into the at
tendant circumstances, with a view of
ascertaining whether the offensiveness of
the Republican official suspended, and of
the Democratic official appointed, do not
sonearly balance as to justify a refusal of
continuation
If this doesn't mean exactly what The
CRITIC said, and for which, in various
quarters, it has been charged with at
tempting piece of pure sensationalism
then will somebody please TO explain
what it does mean?
We knew we were right and we were
right. Our information as to the action of
the caucus came from such source that
it was impossible we could be wrong.
We maintained that the resolutions
quoted, and we now quote them again.
were adopted in effect, and adopted they
were. Here they are:
al. That in case Of the rcmovd Of any
efficient Republican public officer on the al
legged ground Of otensire partisanship' and
The nomination Of a Democratic partisan IN
his place-THAT SUCH NOMINATION
WILL NOT BE CONFIRMED"
.'2. That Ia case any Democratic 'p1rtisan'
causes the ron,oral Of an efficient Republican
and receireS as his rciOdrd for causing such
rtDiordl the nomination as successor TO the de-
capitated oficiai-THAT SUCH NOMINA-
TION WILL NOT BE CONFIRMED"
1t appears from what Mr.. Conger says
that this action has not been departed
from, or even modified. What was the
opinion of Senators in March, is the opin-
ION of Senators in July, and the President
now knows what he has to expect.

THE FIRST FOUR MONTHS.

To every new administration the period
between the 4th of March and the 18th of
July is one of peculiar importance, not so
much in developing its policy as deter
mining its personnel During this period
the executive household is principally
engaged in setting itself in order, prepara-
tory to the greater responsibilities of the
future. 1t is not until five months later,
except some rare emergency should inter
vene, that the Administration signifies TO
Congress its views and recommendations
touching the legislation of the Govern
ment and defines its position upon leading
public measures.
With the close of the present week Mr.
Cleveland will have been four months in
office. 1t has been busy and laborious
time with him, such as perhaps no Prcsi.
dent has ever experienced before, and
although it may be complained by men so
inpatient of office as to be deaf TO reason,
that he has moved too slowly in the dis
tribution of patronage, it needs but a
cursory glance to show that he hasac
complished an enormous amount of work
enough at least to afford the country an
intelligent idea Of the quality Of the men
with WhOm ne desires 10 surround hln-
self, and of the motives by which he is
governed in their selection.
The general CONCLUSION will be that in
the exercise of one of the most difficult
and thankless functions which a Presi,
dent is called upon TO discharge,
Mr.. Cleveland has exhibited the dis
cretion to be expected Of business
man, with due regard to the demands OF
party obligations, and that so few of his
appointments are obnoxious 10 criticism
as to create the most satisfactory impres-
sion OF the personal character Of his Adj
Ininistration.
Thus much has been done since the 4th
OF March, though the work is yet far from
complete. The people, and we do not see
how II can be otherwise with the politi-

The Baltimore Herald rises to remark
with no less terseness than truth that, ''if

cease making themselves ridiculous by
stopping over in praise of Miss Cleveland

Cleveland family to be, she must feel the
heartiest contempt for these sycophants
and busybodies."

chasm is as far from being bridged as
ever, though there are plausible state

Conkling is looking about for helpmeet
which he Is not in the habit of doing, he
would be more likely to select Logan than
