Like Men, Not Sycophants. .


The TRIBUNE prefers being on
record with substantially the view
given below, which is taken from
the Hudson Star and Times, one Of
whose editors is Hon. II. A. Taylor,
Chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee. 1t is right to
the point and is recommended as
strong Republican doctrine:
The Democrats have this admin
istration to run and we are satisfied
to see them run it as they please
We want to see Republican office
holders everywhere stand up like
men and take the consequences of
noble defeat. Let there be no cring-
ing, no duplicity, no toadyism for
the mere continuance in place few
paltry months. Every Republican
oflice-holder who is big enough to
hold a principle and broad enough
to maintain party zeal in adversely
will proudly stand by the record he
made in the years prior to Novem-
Der last let the official battle-aX
strike whenever and wherever it
may. The criticism we make, then
on the immaculate Cleveland admin
istration $50 promised} is not because
Republicans are being removed, but,
for the trucking, deceitful, unmanly
way in which the removals are be-
ing made. The executive, as if
breathing the attenuated air of a
high-priced civil service reformer-
all wool and yard wide-aunounc-
ed and started it on the advanced
ground that officials should be re-
moved only for correspondent
among which is "ofTensively parti-
san" But hardly had the president
aud cabinet been q month in their
seats, before il became apparent to
the dullest observer that all their
gilded promises were sounding brass
and tinkling buncombe, manufacture
ed solely for Mugwumps to gaze up
on; while the real policy was the
old rockrooted, Jacksonian, cleaa
s,ceep article. The appointments al
ready issued show that the "wide
open" method is in vogue and that
the victors are determined to have
the spoils as rapidly as possible.
They pretend to dismiss officials for
the crime of being partisan as per
Democratic construction, and then
appoint men in their stead who were,
are, and always will be Jealous aid
ers of the Democratic cause To do
all this under the guise OF reform,
and an advanced order of things, is
the cheapest kind of hypocrisy and
the lowest kind Of political mean
ness. Take the Offices like men,
blessrs. Nictors, and not like syco-
plants.

Where Labor Troubles Occur.
Chicago Herald.

Seven out of ten disputes between
labor and capital are quarrels between
protected manufacturers OF producers
and their men. The majority of the
strikes and lockouts occurring in this
country are in the coal, iron and steel
industries. In these facts alone is to be
found a point OF wonderful significance
as regards its bearing on the tariff
question. If protection, which all ad-
nit is taxation, is for the purpose of
improving the condition of the work
ingman, why is it that the workingmen
who are protected are forever engaged
in efforts to wiring living wages from
their employers, while workingmen
who are not protected have few such
troubles?
There are only two ways in which
the workingman can be protected. The
government can prohibit immigration,
which is not to be thought of, OF it can
appropriate money from the Treasury
to pay every nan who is out of work
or is dissatisfied with his income the
amount which he thinks he ought to
earn, which is not to be thought of
either. AS the thing stands now the
employer is given the liberty of taxing
the people for his own benefit on the
pretense that he uses the subsidies
thus gained for the elevation of his
men. He does nothing ofthe kind. ae
buys his labor where it can be had
cheapest, and he never pays q cent
more than he is compelled to pay.
The policy of protection is a cheat, a
delusion and a snare, which should by
this time be apparent to every mind
with a capacity to penetrate a lie and
swindle.

Good Advice to Democrats.
Fpom tho Houv
From the Hour

The worst blunder the Democratic
leaders could commit would be to
quarrel with the President or range
themselves in opposition to him. 1t
would assuredly meal the loss of the
country in 1888. IF they do not get
from him the share of Offices to which
they believe they are entitled, they
must bear up under the disappoint-
ment. If the honors of the party are
bestowed upon men who are least en-
titled to them, they must be as cheer
full and happy as they can under the
circumstances. Fiery denunciation
will do no good. If they only wait
long enough, the Democrats, under
the policy of the President, will have
all the offices.

The Columbus Times ~pointedly re-
marks: The bloody shirt awaited the
Republican party well for twenty-four
years, but time having bleached out
it's stains, the insanguined linen was
abandoned last fall. Because Blaine
was beaten on issues of principle,
some of the party want to 60 back to
the red rag. 1t has occurred to the
leaders of the party in Ohio that a
very large number of voters were born
since 1861, and quite as many were
too young while the war was going on
to have been impressed at the time
with its hates and prejudices. There.
fore they believe it would be better
not to revive the old dead wal issues.
Gen. Beatty who has been considered
the champion of the irreconcilables,
will not carry the banner of the party
this year, as was hoped and expected.
The Democrats are not afraid to try
conclusions on any issues the Repnb.
licans may make in Ohio. There is
no public question upon which their
record is not sound; therefore, let the
issues be made uron principles and
not p%rejudices.

For the benefit of those few Dem

For the benefit of those few Dem
ocrats who are expressing dissatisfac-
ton that President Cleveland "does
not move fast enough" the New York
Herald editorially quotes a passage
from a life long Democrat m the
West. He writes:
"There will be disappointment for
many of the office seeking class, but
my ex perience is that these form but
a very small proportion of the party.
What I notice among the Democratic
people whom l know ia q determine
ton that Mr.. Cleveland and those he
has called to help him shall have fair
play and a generous support. We
expect him to give US q sound and
honest Democratic policy for the
country, and we don't encourage fault
finding, because it was a good deal
of trouble to get our party into pow
er, and we want it to stay there for
the good ofthe country Sore heads
are at a heavy discount among the
voters of our party hereabouts.
1t is not necessary that the Herald
should tell US that it is from a west
ern Democrat. We should know that.

In speaking of the death Of ex.
Mayor Payne, the Cleveland Plain
Dealer remarks:
perhaps no man in Cleveland was
better known than Nathan P. Payne.
His uniform courtesy to all and his
genial and pleasant manners render
ed him universally popular. AS a
public officer he was faithful to the
many important trusts confided to
him, and in his death his native city
has lost q citizen who never missed
an opportunity to advance its inter
ests.
Mr.. Payne was the eldest son of
Hen. H. B. Payne. and was a bache-
lor. He leaves one brother, Colonel
Oliver H. Payne, and two sisters
Mrs. Whitney, wife Of the Secretary
of the Navy, and Mrs. Charles Bing-
ham Of this city. The bereaved re-
latives have the sympathy of their
wide circle OF friends and acquaint
ances."

And who set the example at which

Hayes, the fraud, started with rebel
Keyes in his cabinet, and put others
in Office not already there under
Grant. And then, what a splendid
example of magnanmity the Repub-
lican party set before the world when
it sent the rebel General Longstreet
as minister to Turkey, the rebel
statesman Orr, as Minister to Russia,
the rebel preacher billiard, as Min.
lister to Brazil, and the rebel bush
whacker Mostly. to Hong Kong! 1t
is a glorious thing to be magnani-

such things for Southern Democrats !
is simply awful if not reasonable.

Another Good Law.

The new law, requiring all execu-
tions in Ohio to take place within the
walls of the p%enitentiary at Colum-
bus, is a most excellent provision.
An execution in q county seat is, as
a rule, a most d~emoralizing event.
People, especially of the uneduc ated
class, gather by thousands, and the
day is a carnival of drunkenness,
rioting and debauchery, exerting a
direct harmful influence. The pro-
visions of the law are carefully elab-
GRATED TO prevent, as far as possible,
abominable sensationalism which or
dinarily accompanies an execution.

The question as to who owns a
medical prescription, the doctor,
druggist or patient, has been settled
by the supreme courts of Massachu
sets and New York, in practically
the same way. The substance OF
the decision is, that the physician,
in prescribing, gives the patient a
written order for drugs, and their
delivery terminates the operation.
The druggist may, on his response
bility, new the drugs, for he is n
merchant, and has q right to sell
drugs in any shape. He is not bound
to give a copy of the pre- cription, nor
even to keep it, though he usually
retains it as a protection in case of
error on the part of doctor Oh pa
tients.

gold, a gain of about Sc, ZOO. 600 of
silver, a gain of nearly l 1000, 900 in
United States notes, of$12,0 600, 900 in
National bank notes, and a loss of 3d.,
100000 in national bank deposits.
The decrease in gold and the increase
in silver are due to the payment Of

The mormons are now trying to
play the injured innocence game;
giving the impression that they are
innocent of any crime, and that they
are submitting to punishment under
the law because it is the law. They
expect to gain sympathy in this way.
But in this they will be mistaken.
The American people are too shrewd
to be duped by any such thin dis
guise as this. They will receive no
sympathy; and instead, if we are not
mistaken, will become the laughing
stock of the nation. It's too late a day
to play injured innocence. They
should have started at it before they
fell into the clutches of the law, and
not have tried to make a virtue of
necessity. The people e only the
necessity.
