The Tfi6uHo this morning says that II the
President were governed by correct civil
service principles In all his appointments he
would make Postmaster McI.eer of Brooklyn
his own successor; but since Democratic
politics must prevail" Mr.. Delmar is probably
as good Democratic politician to appoint as
any other. II says of the boycott that "it Is
in effect an attempt to establish In this free
country tyranny and slavery wholly in
compatible with the survival of democratic in.
stltutions."
The IY0,id doubts the expediency of the
arbitration plan proposed by the President.
The very essence of arbitration is the con
fidence each party feels that its side of the
case will be properly represented and fairly
protected. Would this confidence be felt in a

arbitrators would these commissioners make

or capacity would their Federal appointment

Is a pity that the CXgenCles of log.rolling

The Hetaid says at Is likely that frosts

often noticed with awe the comprehen.
sive genius of our esteemed contempo.
rary in this particular. And we have
often wondered how all the ills that the
country is heir to have not had a qui-
etus put upon them by the adoption Of
its highly practical and brilliant
methods. OF course The CRITtC's in.
quiry for q man to meet the present
disturbances throughout the country
was very supcrlluous when the man

recommend to the consideration of the

the brilliant proposition of Professor
Fox, that all will be serene If the money
is provided for the distribution of a
large number of Southern colored pco.
ple-voters, of course-through the
doubtful Northern States. That Is the
means. AS to the man, VIII o is there
so competent to carry out this pacify-
ing and philanthropic scheme as its
statesmanlikc author2
If the suggestion of the President
that national commission of three
members to conduct arbitrations, with
view TO settling the differences be-
tween capital and labor, is adopted,
then the suggestion of Senator Beck as
TO the composition of the commission
will be in order. Mr.. Beck would
have ex-senator Allen G.. Thurman,
Joseph Il. Mcdonald and Roscoe
Conkling the members of the commits
sion and would pay each salary Of
$4,000 year. If any commission of
the kind proposed would command the
respect of the whole country, it would
certainly be a commission composed Of
the distinguished gentlemen whom Mr..
| Beck names. Yet 1t Is doubtful If
either of them would accept the posi-.
ton. Mr.. Conkling certainly would
not. Nor is there need of more than
one lawyer on the board. The other
members should be representatives of
the interests especially to be consulted
in their work of Observation-Disclosures
men of the largest experience and most
| disinterestcd character.
ADDED to the cholera scare in Eu-
rope and the labor troubles in Amer
lea, comes melancholy premonition
that the National Republican is about
TO reproduce its Breakfast Table Let
tiers to the President. The stability
of our institutions seems to be ap-
preaching its crucial test, indeed.
THE pending controversy is one of
giants instead of pigmies and there are
three contestants in the field-Gog,
Magog and Demagogue.
