The Democratic journals that are so
open-mouthed in their commentator OF
Cleveland's order against "pernicious
activity" In politics on the part of Fed
eral office holders, seem to have for
gotten that ten years ago, last June,
President Hays issued an order almost
identical in its instructions. The term,
''pernicious activity" has caused quite
flutter in Democratic circles as to just
what shade Of activity is required TO con-
stitute it pernicious. This borderland
between the "pernicious" and the sin
noxious" is not sufficiently defined, and
there is a farther mixture in the instruc-
lions that is painfully puzzling to the
democratic mind, agonizing to follow
the commands of his leader. Individual
activity is by no means condemned by
Sir Grover, but assuming the active con-
duct of a political campaign is put down
rs utterly reprehensible. This must
mean that Federal oflice-holder can
put In all the beet democratic licks pos
slble on the sly, but that he must hold
himself in hand when it comes to work
Ing openly and in the eyes and face Of
those who may critioise the administra-
ton for the acts OF its servants. 1t is a
kind of scripture injunction from the
archbishop of the democratic church for
his federal servants not to let their
right hands know what their left hands
do politically.

THE New York sun hangs Its banners
on the wall inscribed with the name OF
Samuel J. Tilden as democratic presi-
Dental candidate for 1888. The Sun
does not shine for Cleveland and reform
as brilliantly as when 1t first rose above
the horizon. The sky has been olouded
and there are symptoms of permanent
eclipse in the political armament. The
Sun is very anxious for the appearance OF
the rainbow OF promise in New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut, as indi-
eating the kind of political weather
likely to be experienced in 1883.

The idea OF Prof. Horsford was indeed q
grand one in supplanting the indigestible tar
tarate of soda, which is always the end result
of all Baking Powders composed of Cream of
Tartar and Soda, by the soluble phosphate of
lime and soda, the very nutrtive value of
bread, and the bOne-prOducing elements Of
nature.
IT is certainly the best and most healthy
bread-raising preparation ever offered to the
public, and every mother that has the health
of her children at heart should use no other.

The GRAND old man is now but look
er on in Rome. The queen has accepted
his PORTFOLIO, not unwillingly, and the
marquis of Salisbury is closeted with
her majesty devising new ministry. 1t
must be sincere relief to Victoria to
get rid of her unCOmpromising prime
minister, with whom it is well known
she had little comfy OF feeling and for
whom she had no particular good will.
The committing of the imperial govern
ment to home rule in Ireland must have
been a very unwelcome measure to the
grand daughter Of the Third George, and
return TO the old traditions OF her
house, as TO the proper form OF Irish
dependence, can not but be acceptable
to her. Gladstone never was in the
queens confidence. No cordisl feeling
existed in the mind Of royalty toward
her minister, such as she felt for Bea-
oonsfield, and the severing of official
relation ends all communication between
them. Gladstone will not personally
surrender the seals Of office and so will
spare an unnecessary and disagreeable
interview with the queen. Salisbury
has task before him that he cannot ac-
complish. A coalition ministry is i'm
possible. The unionIsts who defeated
Gladstone's home rule policy are even
more decidedly opposed to all ooercive
measures and will not support any
policy likely to be proposed by the
tories. The temporary failure Of home
rule, according to Gladstone, by no
means assures the success OF the tory
measures Of government.

The REFUSAL to release Editor Cutting
is quite likely to lead to serious compli-
cations, and may put an end to the pres
ent entente cordiale existing between
this republic and her swarthy sister over
the Rio Grande. Unless some important
facts have been withheld from the pub
lie knowledge the imprisonment and
subsequent treatment Of Mr.. Cutting Is
Il high-handed outrage upon the person
and liberty Of an American citizen, and
calls for prompt action on the part OF our
government. Troops are being called
northward from Chihuahua to PasO del
Norte in anticipation OF an attack upon
the Jail by citizens on this side the river,
and excitement is at fever heat. The
supineness of our government in this
matter Ia not creditable to 1t.

GLADSTONE having appealed to the
country and finding himself left takes
the only manly course, resigns his
portfolio as prime minister Of England
md takes his seat on the opposition
benches below the gangway. The Tory
ministry that now assumes power will
have as thorny seat and as poorly cush-
toned as any Of their predecessors ever
had. Without working majority in
parliament liable to be ousted on
any question Of home or foreign policy
that will unite liberals Of all ranks; with
such an opposition as Gladstone and
Parnell can present-there will not be
one easy moment for the new ministry
until Ii lays down the powers 1t cannot
WELD and the country renders clearer
verdict In tire election that seems in
evitable few months ahead. Gladstone
is In his element while In opposition and
will put the Tory administration to such
torture as win make removal from Office
a blessing greatly to be desired and
thankfully accepted.

THE recent decisions in Iowa and
Kansas as to the rights Of brewers are
quite likely to be followed by the courts
In Georgia These rulings are to the
effect that the state is liable for the
value of the property rendered worth
less by reasons OF laws enacted by the
state after such property was lawfully
accumulated. This introduces very
complicated question into the prohlbi-
tIon problem and renders a final solution
increasingly difficult. From the equit-
able principle OF the ruling OF Judges
Hays and Brewer there will be no dis
sent In any fair and unbiased, mind and
1t may be accepted as true that this rul-
ing will be generally followed through
out the country. To argue otherwise is
to hold that the state has practical
right OF conflscation to-day over the
property she authorized and legalized
Yesterday.

A REPORT recently published concern
ing the operations, investments and
profits OF English cattle breeders on
United States territory Is quite satisfac-
tory, as showing that the profits of these
foreign landlords are steadily decreas-
ing and that In a few years they may
find 1t to their interests to withdraw en-
tirely from the soil. Ii IL be true, as as
serted by the political economists, that
those who own the property control the
votes OF the country, then these foreign
ers have no small stake in our affairs,
controlling rs they do sufficient real cs-
tate to form quite respectfully size
state or two. The dividends paid by the
most prosperous OF these absentee"
companies, have fallen from 2O5 in 1888
TO 10 per cent in 1885. Ii Is safe to say
that in 1856 the returns will show still
lower rate Of profit. This, with the in
creased taxation sure to be levied on all
foreign land owners, and the restrictive
laws passed and to pass, will eventually
crowd these nonresident land holders
out Of the country. This absorption of
millions OF acres of the public lands by
foreign syndicates Is foreign to our in
terests and contrary to the spirit of our
institutions, which reserves the land for
the use Of actual settlers. American
landlordism is doomed, and the first sec
ton OF the iniquity to give up the ghost
will be this one Of absenteeism, the
curse OF Ireland and the threat of Amer
lea to-day.

The Houston Post seems to be law
unto itself in determining what causes
political produce certain observed re-
suits. Commenting upon the outcome
Of the San Antonio primaries on last
Saturday evening the Post remarks
Major Brackenridge's popularity in San
Antonio, his wealthy, extensive and in
fuential family connections in the city
that was formerly his home, and the
general expectancy that the primaries
would indorse him without question,
The Post Furthermore says that SWANS
friends had no expectation Of receiving
so strong an endorsement as shown by
the result, and that there can be but one
reason for so unexpected an issue. This
potent cause the Post finds In the adyo-
cacy Of Major Brackenridge's claims by
the Times OF this city, and charges the
whole disaster to what 1t terms "un-
prinoipled treatment OF Swain by the
Times" The Post processes to believe
that Except for the Times Major Brack-
enridge would easily have carried Bexar
county," and that the whole thing teach
es that mo professional liar and Sian
derer can warp their action" etc, etc.
This language from one democratic
brother to another almost transcends
the limit OF professional courtesy and
one wonders, II such language be used
by friends, what would the result be II
the vocal batteries were turned on
acknowledged enemies.

There is promise of stirring scenes in New
York city before long. There are in that
-c::y 5,210 school ma ANS" and every one of
them is indignant. All together they make
redoubtable phalanx that promises trouble.
The grievance is the threat on the part of the
school trustees that they shall enforce this
clause Of the school regulation: SHOULD a
female teacher marry her place shall there
upon become vacant, but such marriage shall
not operate as bar to her reappointment
with the approval Of the board" This regu-
lation has been in existence several years,
but has not been enforced. But suspicion
has taken hold of the minds of the Board
that the teachers have been marrying secret
ly, making no report of the fact to their su-
periors. of the 3,210, only 273 have the pre-
fix Mrs" on their names; but some hateful
statistician has let the Board of Education
know that he thinks there are as many as
two hundred more who are entitled by law
to the Mrs" So the members of the school
board have been stirring themselves with
the purpose of enforcing rigidly the existing
regulation; and rumors of their purpose
have gone abroad among the teachers. Ex-
perienced prophets say that no ordinary
storm is brewing Some of the teachers de-
clare that, in spite of the Board, they sh all
marry If they wish to; and they will not 90
on their knees to some ward politician either
to beg for reinstatement. They will initiate
the actresses, keep their maiden names in
the schoolhouse and their acquired names at
home. But whatever the Board of Educa-
ton may do, it is safe to say that they will
have to get up early if they intend to get
ahead of 1910 school ma

in regard to the building of a navy has been
a disgraceful story of pettifogging. For years
the House of Representatives refused to APP
propriate needed funds for this purpose on
the pretext that the Republican Secretary of
the Navy could not be trusted to expend
them honestly. But when Democrat was
placed in control Of this department and this
pretext was no longer available another was
found, and again an adequate appropriation
was refused. To make show of economy
and neutralize eXtravagances in other things
the House cut down the appropriation for
building ships to ridiculously Insignificant
figure 100000 was all that could be got
out of it for this purpose, though it did not
hesitate to vote S15,0O0,000 for the improve
ment of rivers and harbors, for many Uf
which there was no public necessity for the
expenditure of a cent.
1t is humiliating indeed for a country
with the enormous sea coast of the United
States, to be told that at present its naval
force is inferior to Brazil, Chill, the Argen-
tine Republic, China, Japan, Greece, Norway,
Portugal and Sweden, and that all the improve
ments that Congress is willing to assent to
and appropriate money for will, when made
still leave us inferior in rank to England,
France, Germany, Austria, Italy and Russia.

The New York Mail and Express suggests
as feasible method CT stopping the defalca-
tions and abuses of trusts that are wrecking
so many fortunes and corporations, and dis
grazing so many business men, the system
in use in other countries, where accounts are
submitted to licensed and sworn accountants.
The example of London is cited, where the
accountants are a guild by themselves. Men
are trained for the occupation, as doctors and
lawyers are trained. When they become
competent they are licensed, and put out
sign. Corporations and individuals employ
them as they would lawyer. When the
accountant undertakes to examine set of
accounts he stakes his reputation on his
work, just as a lawyer does in case. He
works Tor success, and nothing can be more
fatal to his reputation than to have it appear
afterwards that he had been deceived by the
juggling of cashier or book-keeper Corpo-
rations that have their accounts regularly
examined by these experts are not often
swindled for course ofyears Defalcations
do occur in London as in America, but it is
said that there are two here to one there.
Here an expert accountant is employed after
the defalcations have occurred; there he is
employed to prevent them.
