THE SIZE OF IT.
Philadelphia Press.
The Democratic position, as we understand
it, is simply this If the civil service act is
unconstitutional it must be kicked down the
back stairs, and if it is constitutional it must
be repealed and bowed out of the front door.
THE RED MAN DOES NOT ADVANCE AS HE
SHOULD.
Louisville Courier-Journal
The government will go in debt in order to
feed the Utes. The noble red man is yet so
unciviliZed that it has not occurred to him to
get trusted at the grocery stores.
OHIO TO REFORM.
St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Cleveland is said to have remarked that he
.'was not elected to help make Governors of
Ohio" 1t is lucky for him that he wasn't,
too, considering the fact that in the very
first year of his term Ohio is preparing to
correct the folly which she was led to COM
nit two years ago in the election of Hoadly.
A GOOD FUNERAL COMMITTEE.
Philadelphia Press.
The spoilsmen will never be satisfied with
the civil service commission until it consists
OF, say, Eugene Higgins, Aquila Jones and
Alexander Troup. With commission like
that the cause of reform would be faithfully
carried out, and perhaps, decently buried.
ALLOW AT THE LABoRERs.
Des Moines Register.
No working man in the North, least of all
can afford to see the suffrage of the black
man in the South suppressed. Most of all
men the humblest and weakest laberer in the
land needs the ballot in his hand to protect
his own rights, and the rights of labor. No
laboring man in this country can have his
vote or his citizenship suppressed without
every laboring man in the land being injuri-
ously affected
THE REPUBLICAN FIGHT IN VIRGINIA.
Washington Star.
One fact is patent to the Democracy, and
that is that Senator Malone and his lieuten-
tenants intend to give them hard fight
Malone has succeeded in Welding his follow
ers together into pretty harmonious whole
under the Republican banner. All dissesions
have been healed, and, though the canvas
has but scarcely begun, Mahone's method of
systematic and effective organization is al
ready manifested.
THE DEMOCRACY AND THE PUBLIC DEBT.
North American.
1t has already become evident that under a
Democratic administration the reduction of
the public debt will not go on anything like
as fast as when the Republicans were in
power. A yearly reduction Of one per cent.
is required by law, but the Republicans did
great deal better than that. Thus, during
Gen. Arthur's Presidency the debt was re-
duced by $474, OBS O62 whereas the law would
have been satisfied with reduction of $175,-
100000. 1t is probable that the Democrats
viii not do much more than satisfy the re-
quirements of the statute. The Democratic
party is great at creating public debt; it is
not so good at paying it.

The boundary dispute between Russia and
England seems to be finally closed. A treaty
has been signed giving Zulicar Pass and
Maruchak to Atghanistan. Had it not been
for Mr. Gladstone's forbearance and refusal
to yield to popular clamor the two nations
would be at war today.

One Mugwump Mr.. Augustus Thorndike
Perkins, of Boston, seems to have fallen
from grace. We believe it is good Mugwump
doctrine that a competent officer, especially
when he is thoroughly acceptable to the
people, should be retained in spite of his
politics. The postmaster of Cotuit, little
town on Cape Cod, was competent to perform
the duties of his Office and the citizens of the
place were practically unanimous in asking
his retention. The administration decided
otherwise, however, and Mr.. Augustus
Thorndike Perkins was asked to recommend
a successor. What did Mr.. Perkins do? Did
he assume the lofty Mugwumpian air and
tell the administration that Mugwumps care
nothing for the offices, that all they want
is to see the civil service principle en-
forced? By no means. Mr.. Perkins forgot
all about civil service reform and recon-
mended lady, who was appointed. When
called upon by the citizens of Cotuit to ex-
plain his action he wrote the following
letter.
SANDANWooD, Aug. 81, 1886.
My Dear Captain N6cEcrson Il have received

letter. | have the honor to remain my dear
captain,
Your very good friend and neighbor,
AUGUSTUS THoRNDIKE PERKINS.
To Captain Seth Nickerson
Speaking of this letter the Boston Beacon
says: ''Mr. Perkins is a gentleman of
wealth, member of the bar, president of
rich corporation, Harvard graduate in the
class of Professor Charles F. Dunbar and
Mr.. George 0. Shattuck, his fellow-mug-
wumps, and now he embarrasses the cause
by letting the Democratic reform cat out of
the bag. AS a civil service reformer he con-
sents to the removal of an acceptable officer,
nomlnates the successor, and friend of his
calls this the smashing OF machine politics.,
and the Inauguration of Democratic reform.
But from such reform, good Lord deliver
us!"

Big SWindle.

SAN Francisco, May 21.-Charles F.
MacDermot, a wealthy mining operator
and former president of the California
Safe Deposit Trust company of this city,
was charged to-day of having swindled
John T. Bradley, and other late share
holder, of Caborea mine, at Sonora,
Mexico, out of large sum
Of money. MacDermot was EN- powered,
IN 1881, to sell the entire stock of
10000 shares. He telegraphed from
New York, where he went to sell, that
he could get $3.50 share. The share
holders instructed him to sell. Bradley
now states that MacDermot received
$3.50 a share and only accounted at
the rate of $3.50. He says he knows this
TO be true, as it had been prearranged
between MacDermot and himself that
il the sale of 10000 shares was made at
$3.50 they would account to the other
shareholders at $3.50 and divide the
$4,000 of the stealings between them
selves. Bradley further says that Mac
Dermot failed to adhere to the agree
ment and kept it all for himself. Mac
Dermot is east; his exact whereabouts
is unknown. The shareholders will
bring suit to recover.

WHITE HOUSE.
The Crimes Act.

LONDON, May 21.-It was rumosed this
evening that Chamberlain has resigned
his seat in the Cabinet. The report
proved untrue. 1t is stated, however, in
welI-informed circles, that his resigna-
ton is certain, with. perhaps, Sir
Charles Dixie, the dissension in the Cab.
met over the crimes act having become
acute.
In the House of Commons, this even
ing, Gladstone stated the time was in
opportune to explain the grounds
Of the renewal of the crimes
act. He denied that governments
policy in Ireland had been a failure
He declined to say whether the present
measures would be coercion or not, but
he said there were. provisions which
government regarded as equitable and
valuable. Replying to numerous criti-
cisms of governments policy and
charges OF Withholding information,
Gladstone retorted that he feared he
had already given too much informa-
ton. He warned the members against
making utterances and criticisms which
tended to strengthen the bonds OF the
Russian war party.

New York Stock Market.

New YORK, May 21.-Stocks active
and strong, and advanced from Az
The greatest strength was shown in
Pacific Mail and Union Pacific, both of
which advanced on prospective settle
ment of the subsidy question to the
Pacific Mail. The weakness in British
consols reported to-day also stimulated
the advance. During the past fifteen
minutes the market has been more
quiet, but strong.
New York, May 21.-3 pm
Stocks this afternoon have been very
dull, but strong; closed strong, near the
best prices of the day.
New YORK, May 81. = Government
bonds quiet and unchanged, except a
decline OF Il in IS. Sales at the Stock
Exchange to-day footup about the same
as yesterday. Of this business 40 per
cent was done in the first hour, and
from that time until the close of the
board the dizziness was as great as has
been seen at any time for many months.
There was absolutely no feature TO the
market, except the strength that ac-
companied the inactivity. The extreme
fluctuations in the active list in no case
exceeded q per cent, except In Union
Pacific, which was traded in within
range of Is per cent, and Pacific
Mail, which fuctuated per cent. The
closing prices this evening are small
fraction higher than yesterday, almost
without exception the gains ranging
from q to Is per cent. There was de-
cided strength in only dealings in both
Pacific Mail and Union Pacific. due to
the general belief that the differences
between the Pacific Mail and the Pacific
railroads had practically been settled.
Mr.. Huntington, of the Central Pacific,
stated to-day that he thought the SUBJ
sidy ought to be reduced to SIS, 900 per
month, but the Pacific Mail officials in
sisted upon $95. 900, and he finally agreed
to settle the difference at $85, 600. The
matter now rests, he said, with the Pa
cific Mail Company, but he thought it
would agree to the terms mentioned.
He also called attention to the fact that
the whole question is subject to the rati
fication of trans-continental lines, but
he would recommend settlement on
the basis mentioned, and he believed
the others would acquiesce. The street
regards the matter as already settled.
Respecting the Oregon Railway & Nayi-
CATION lease to the Northern and Union
Pacifcs, it is stated late this Afternoon,
that progress has been made, but no
has yet been reached. There
was meeting at the Northern Pacific
offices in regard to the matter. The
general impression in this case is also
that the settlement be made satisfactory
to all parties in interest.

from Calgary that Maj. Steele, with the
advance guard of the general column,
had skismish with Indians near Fort
Pitt, lost some men and had to retire
toward Edmonton. There is nothing
definite about this and not much faith
is put in the report. The truth seems
to be, that Steele concluded there were
too many hostiles between him and
Fort Pitt and he retired on the main
force

northwestern outskirts of the city this
afternoon, travelling eastward. 1t
caused a great waterspout where it

time to the southwest going in the same
direction. tits not known what amount
