EVERY free government, every government Of
the people oy the people must be carried on by
parues, Ihls elementary truth springs from the
const.ution or human nature. The impulses,
tne Judgments and the ideas of men disagree,
and the essence of freedom is that this Disagree
should be expressed without qualification or re-

THE respectable Democrat, who is not Demo
crat enough to hurt, Is one who always votes the
Democratic ticket, and who votes it all the same
when the nominating convention is captured bv
a band of sluggers, and who utters this voting az
virtue. He is more despicable than a worker
of the slugger ring. because in general his cir
cumstances are such that he could afford to be
free man. He has not the manliness, courage or
principle to do anything in public position
which demands a reform that touches his own
party.-Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
In this matter of publicity the President has,
tnanKs 70 the Senates delay. still opportunity to
act. why does he not publicly announce that
hereafter he will open to public inspection all ap-
piications made to him for office, with their in
dorsersY He will have to do this by and by, and
Will get little credit for it when it is forced on
him. The people are not going to have these
dirty ofce-seeking intrigues carried on in secret
any longer, either in the White House or at the
Capitol. Let the President secure the credit OF
right doing while the opportunity remains.

THE fact that that 1.-THE Democratic] party does
not stand for any well-defned policy or principle.
that it represents no purpose, that it is not
party at all in the true sense of the word, has
long been perfectly clear to every intelligence;
but hitherto the desire to hold together for the
purposes of election has been stronger than the
centrifugal force of internal differences Now
the centrifugal force prevails and there are two
directly opposing ideas, each claiming to repre-
sent Democratic policy and two directly oppos-
ing factions. each contending that it is the Dem.
ocratic party.-New York Commercial Adver-
tiser.

IT is getting to be dangerous to be killed by
the cars. A man, ]. w. Pierce or J. Pierce
Weaver, was killed near Atlanta, Ga, the
other day, and two widows laid claim to the
remains and the wealth of the deceased. Each
accurately described the body, and to this day
it is hard to say which was lawfully entitled
to it. This week, at Dennison, o., brake
man was killed by the cars, and forthwith two
women put in claim as wife of the deceased.
The one from Pittsburg prevailed, and the
other, from Columbus, went home disconso-
late.

Of condemnation is very strong, SO strong, in
deed, that before he has served year gath
ering of Democratic editors has been embold-
ened to denounce his policy of delay and
damn" the law that restraints him. This
would not have been done by these gentlemen
were they not assured that they were backed
by the sympathy of their patrons. They
know what they are talking about. They
know what the Democratic idea is and what
Democrats want. They have seen this
idea partially ignored and this want denied.
Disappointment has deepened into rage, and
rage is finding partial expression. The partys
fundamental principle" has been dishonored.
Having no settled policy other than expedi-
ency, the Democratic party has little reason
for existence now, and the disposition is to
turn upon the cause Of their trouble. Unless
something is speedily done for Democrats in
the good old Democratic way the criticism
now being expressed will be echoed by practi-
cally every Democratic editor and politician
in the country This is not surprising. 1t is
the nature Of Democracy, well understood by
all who have made even the most superficial
study of that organizatio& The only sur
prising thing about this unusual state of af-
fairs is, that there are still few recreant
Republicans who profess to hope for some
good from an administration conducted by a
man representing this mob Of spoilsmen,
plotting rebellion against their party if they
be not bribed with office. Granting their
demands, the President would surrender the
country to the basest elements of partisan
politics. Refusing them, he ties his own
hands and can dc nothing. The absurditY Of
expecting any good from a Democratic
President is becoming quite apparent

pels him.

In his address to the Republican editors
the Hon. r. W. Thompson stated as fact
that during the four years that he was Secre-
tary of the Navy-from 1877 to 1SS1-under
a Republican President, he made but one re-
moval from Office in the Navy Department.,
and that this person was Republican, while
holding office subject to his removal and to
his appointment were Democrats, not one Of
whom he removed. And this before the en-.
actment of the civil-service reform law. He
said the persons holding positions did their
duties faithfully and he did not disturb them,
although the most Of them were Demo
Gratis. Now, in strong contrast with
this, is the action of the present
administration, which ruthlessly dismisses
the most capable and faithful officers, purely
for political reasons. And how nobly it con-
trasts with the resolution of the Democratic
editors, which reads as follows:
Resolved, That this association condemns the prac.
tce of Democratic officials State federal and munich
pal. of retaining in their employment Republicans
when Democrats of ability and integrity be OBJ
tanned
No Republican convention, association OF
ward meeting ever did so low thing as that.
The ignorant aspirants for political power who
framed and passed that resolution acted upon
the presumption that Republicans had never
retained Democrats in Office; and so blindly
and stupidity disgraced themselves by the
passage of this contemplate resolution, at
war with precedent, decency, history, princi-
pie, common sense and the law.

SECRETARY WHITNEY was said, few DAYS
ago, to be one of the virtuous members of the
Cabinet who believed that Attorney general
Garland ought to resign. IF Mr. Whitney
will rise and explain his relations with Jacob
Sharp, Mr.. Garland may perhaps have an
opportunity to return the compliment. An
exchange of views between these two gentle
men on the subject of business and political
morality would at least be interesting to the
public.

dress to the President need not be interpreted
as an indication that the majority were not in

Afternoon Session.

The House reassembled at 80 o'clock.
Mr. AhoIo moved the reconsideration of
the vote by which the bill relating to cleo
toral districts was passed the previous
day.
Mr.. Dole said he was sorry the matter
had to be reopened, but the district he
represented on Kauai had had one end
loped off He had not been able to find
out why it had been done. Boundaries
and districts are important, and should
not be changed without good and suf-
ficient reason. This vote ought to be
reconsidered. as there had been no def
mite reasons given for the change he re-
ferred to.
The motion to reconsider was put and
carried.
Mr.. Dole moved that the bill pass as
originally presented by the committee to
which it had been referred. There had
been no petition requiring any change,
and there was no public reason why any
change should be made.
The motion made by Mr. Dole was lost.

Mr. Palohau moved that the item pass at

Mr.. KaIua moved that it pass as in the
bill.
Mr. Dole said it was the same salary as
had been paid for several years. The pres
ent incumbent was one of the most efficient
Government officials in the Kingdom. He
was doing splendid work, which enhanced
the value OF real estate throughout the
Kingdom.
The item passed as in the bill.
Expenses Bureau of Surveying, $4,000.
Mr. Nahale moved that it pass at the
same figure as last session, $50, 900.
Mr.. Kalua would like to know the reason
for the increase.
Mr.. Dole said he noticed q new item in
the department, salary of engineer, $4,000.
That would make the difference.
His Excellency Mr.. Gulick said the item
of 81 800 was for salary of engineer and
draughtsman The distribution of work
in the bureau had been considerably
changed. Efforts were being made to carry
out the statute OF 1854. The work of the
staff had been laid out and was now going
