The ohio Election FIRE. from Compiler
cation with National Issues
From two classes comes che claim
that tho result In Ohio b rebuke cf
President Cleveland and his Admlnistra-
ton. Ono class Il made up Of the
Blaine Republicans. who have not yet
recovered from the bitterness Of defeat
and are anxiously casting about for
such crumbs Of comfort As can b. ex-
tracted from political events Tho other
class Is composed Of the Democrats who
regard the Presidents Administration
as failure because he has not replaced
every Republican in Office with Demo-
craL For this neglect II Is claimed the
Ohio Democracy has rcbuked him by
not supporting the party ticket
The claim Is absurd. There Il slight
ground. IL any. for claim that the
Ohio result has any bearing whatever
upon the President or bis Administers
ton. The election was about as dis
tinctly State election. and about As
free from any complication with Ma
tional issues, rs any that was ever held
in Ohio or elsewhere. The State is
Republican and the Republicans carried
it, They may have been aroused by
Sherman's appeals to passion. They
probably were to some extent; and 10
that extent National considerations en-
tered into the canvass and affected the
result. But nobody will be foolish
enough TO claim that revived fanati-
cism on the subject Of tile Southern
vote means approval or disapproyal Of
the President. Ii the Southern Repub-
lican does not get his rights at the bal
lot-box, as John Sherman so vocifer-
ously and dogmatically declares, it is
not due in any sense TO the Admins
tration now in power. If it is charge
able to any Administration, it is to
that Of President Arthur and his Re-
publican predecessors; for 1t was I'M
der them that all the alleged ouirages
which grieve the sensitive soul Of Sher-
man occurred.
So far as the Republican claimants
are concerned. this claim that the Ohio
result bears upon President Cleveland
is Is unimportant rs II Is untrue. In
the case Of the Democratic claimants
it Is fortunate the charm Is untrue.
For If the Democratic defeat in
Ohio does mean anything special in
connection with the Administration il
means approval and not rebuke. What
ever else may lie said, either for or
against the Democratic Candidates and
leaders, this is true beyond question.
They represented unequivocally what
there was in the Ohio Democracy Of OPP
position to the reform principles Of
Cleveland and his administration. II
the Ohio Democracy had proposed any
rebuke for the President the effective
way to administer it would have been
to elect the men who shelyed Pendleton
for his reform record. not to permit

a RULE TO Be ENFORCED.

Secretary Endicott Promoting the DIscl-
pIIne Of HIs Branch Of the Service.
The refusal Of Secretary Endicott to
modify his order returning army officers
to their regiments after four years alb
sence on detached or staff duty shows
that he is u man who. when he makes
up his mind, does not change his deter
mination for light or trivial reasons. 1t
Is difficult to understand why Generals
Sheridan. Schoheld. Pope and Howard
should be permitted to select q few
favorites out Of the army and keep
them as aids for long term Of years,
to the manifest injury of the service,
and it was scarcely the proper thing
for them to ask such favor.
The training which staff duty gives Is
not Of the kind that makes the best
soldiers. Men so employed for a long
time become TO certain extent de-
pendent upon their commanders and do
not get the discipline which can only
come from the semi-independent COM
mands with their own regiments. They
naturally lose that condolences in them
selves which Is so much to be desired
in the soldier when the time comes for
hard actual service. In that day the
officers who have given many years to
staff duties as the favoritcs of some
superior must still trust to their chief
rather than to their own merit for pro-
motion.
With . new system Of frequent
changes larger number Of officers will
get general training in their
profession than has been possible under
the favoritism that has prevailed for
many years. But the most promising
thing about Secretary Endicott's ac-
ton is the indication that he means
what he says and that what he prom
Uses be will perform. Every thing con-
sidered, the prospect Is good that the
organization. the discipline and the
esprit Of the army are to be promoted
under the present Administration more
thoroughly than for many years. --

Attention is called by the New York
Sun to the singular truth that under the
operation Of the Civil-Servicc reform
system ordinary clerks are required to
prove thoir fitness by rassing rigid ex-
aminations, whereas the autocratic
Commissioners who have charge of the
whole matter are chosen without any
test whatever. and according TO the
personal preference Of the man in the
White House. The explanation prob
ably lies in the fact that when the sys-
tom was established the contingency
OF Democratic National victory was
not considered. and the Lawmakers
supposed that the appointment of tho
Commissioners would always be in the
