THE SCHOLAR IN POLITICS.

There is much for thoughtful consider
alton in the suggestion made by President
Cleveland, at the celebration OF the 25Oth
year of the founding of Harvard college,
that there certainly can be no sufficient
reason for any space or distance between
the walks of the most classical education
and the way that leads to political place.
Any Discrimination on the part Of the most
learned and cultured of our citizens to
mingle in public affairs, and the consequent
abandonment of political activity 10 those
who have but little regard for the student
and scholar in politics, are not favorable
conditions under q government such as
ours; and II they have existed TO very
damaging extent, very recent events ap-
pear 70 Indicate that the education and con
ssryatism of the land are 70 be hereafter
more plainly heard in the expression OF
popular will"
The President is right. The danger 70
the we'll being of the government Is that
of the disincliRatlon ON the part OF the
class spoken Of 10 take upon themselves
the burden Of their political duties. They
believe in good government and have af

they ought not to participate IN them
They ought In no instance TO assist in pre-
sentng mans name to the voters whom
they themselves will not only not support
but will attempt to defeat. These very
men would not so act were the matter
purely private one, and why they should
draw line of distinction between a pri-
vate and public transaction is not TO US
clear.
If every member OF political party is
left to act as he sees fit after having par
tlcipated in the deliberations of the party,
and his right to do so goes unquestioned,
party ties might as we'll be abolished, for
every caucus and every convention is re-
duced to a mere farce. When man en-
tiers a caucus or convention he surrenders
his individual desire to the wish of the
majority of those who act with him, and
every sense of honor and justice should
lead him to be enough of man TO realize
and act upon this fact If he does not, he
has no right to be regarded as member
of the party and is entitled to no consider
alton at its hands. As long as men claim
10 be democrats they should abide the &C
ton of their caucuses and conventions, and
not after having suffered defeat In them be
80 devoid Of henor as TO refuse 50 TO do.

POLITICAL HONOR,

The result Of the recent election in La
Sale county furnishes at least one point
for the thoughtful consideration of the
democrats OF the county. The question of
political honor and tntegrity can be pom
dered by many of them with profit TO
them selves lot less than 10 the party The
fact that many who supported the party Of
the opposition throughout the campaign
and aided its candidates on election day
had participated In democratic primaries
and in the deliberations of the democratic
convention seems 10 have cut no figare.
They acted as though the question OF honor
Was one that In no wise affected or con
trolled their political movements.
This is not only q source OF regret, but
II IL ooe of positive evil. The only basis
upon which political party can hope TO
build successfully Is that of entire and IN.
questioned political honor on the part of its
individual members. Unless this Is upheld
and Insisted upon there H. nothing what
ever to hold 8 political organization 10
gether. Unless the members Of the party
feel In honor bound TO abide by the results
Of their psr'y's csucu.es snd conventions

WHAT WILL RESULT

Since the defeat of Morrison, the protec-
tionists of the country nave exhibited an
unbounded amount of enthusiasm over
what they see fit to term Waterloo" for
the tariff reformers. They seem TO be
more pleased over the rejection OF the H.
linois congressman than over either Hurd's
defeat or Carlisles narrow escape. Randall,
encouraged by the buster of the protec-
ton organs, has already set about to select
as his candidate for the speakership some
democratic member who is in sympathy
with his views upon the revenue question,
and already boasts are made that he will
again be the virtual leader Of the house.
II Is difficult to see just why the protec.
tionists should gather to themselves so
much satisfaction over the overflow OF
Morrison. They have, II is true, removed
him from active work upon the floors of
congress; but they nave not silenced him,
nor have they by preventing his election,
retarded in any measure the cause which
he has 50 long and ably advocated, The
means employed to defeat Morrison were
of such character as TO reflect nothing
but discredit upon the men who employed
them, and to render the success of Baker a
success little to be proud Of.
Morrison was beaten by the fragrant and
unblushing debauchment Of the voters OF
the district, and not through means that in
any wise indicated either dissatisfaction
with his course in congress or with the
cause of tariff reform. BY the employ
ment of money furnished by the protected
industries of the country and dispensed by
jarrett, their paid agent, Morrison was
beaten, and when the protectionists boast
triumph for the iallaces they have so
long duped the people with they boast of
that which they know to be false.
But one thing will result from Morrison's
defeat, and that is an intensified feeling on
tie part of the revenue reformers of the
country to push the issue TO the very front
of public questions. The bold effrontery
of the protectionists ought not 20 be longer
tolerated. Their cause is as unholy as
the methods they employ There Is neither
sound sense in the theories they advocate
nor sound business principles. The people
ought not TO bear the burden of the exces
sive taxation TO which they are subjected
simply 20 make a few rich men richer.
Let the mass of the people be rightly in
formed upon the merits of the question
aud then in coming elections LET the fight
be squarely made upon the issue Shall
we have a tariff system that works equal
justice 10 all, or shall We continue the pres
ent one, which is but shameless robbery
under the protection of law?

NAMED true to that party and the additions
one that the partys representation In COZ
gress has been increased, republican or
gans are claiming the verdict Of the recent
elections to be condemnation of the dem
ocratic party and especially of the course
pursued by President Cleveland since his
Inauguration.
They lose sight entirely of the fact that
not single one of these states cast Its cleo.
toral vote for President Cleveland, but that
all of them were carried by Mr.. Blaine
/ They further fail to take into account that
all the states that the President did carry
two years since remained loyal to the dem
ocratic party, and In addition the states OF
Colorado and California, whose electoral
votes in 1884 went to the republican nomi
nee.
1t is true that the democratic majority In
the lower house at Washington is materi.
ally reduced; but what does this signify
as far as President Cleveland and his policy
is concerned? Nothing-absolutely moth
ing. The President is In no wise response.
BILE for the acts of his party's congressman,
either collectively or individually. Con
gressmen are alone responsible for their
acts as legislators and that, too, to their in
dividual constituents. The attempt of re.
publican organs to make II appear that the
defeat of democratic congressman In any
wise reflects upon democratic President
is as absurd as 1t Is dishonest
The President Is purely an executive Of
ficer-ls responsible to the people alone
for his acts. Congressman cannot shift the
burden of them from his shoulders to their
own, no matter how willing he might be
that they should or how eager they might
be to do so. There can be but one way of
testing the strength of President Cleveland
with the people, and that is by re-nominat-
Ing him two years hence. In such an
event the issue could be squsrely made as
to whether or no his course meets with the
approval of the people.
We confess to desire to have the test
made Throughout the course of the past
eighteen months We have believed the
President absolutely right and absolutely
honest in his administration of public af
fairs. 1t may be that he has not pleased
the professional politicians, but this is
matter of little consequence. He has
pleased the great mass of the people and
inspired in them firm faith in the integ-
rity of his purposes and the honesty Of his
acts. He has drawn TO himself and to the
democratic party the business interests of
the country. He has made it possible for
the party that elected him to make gains
from the conservative men of the country
upon whom the obligations of party rest
very lightly. He has at least pointed the
way toward continued democratic success
by inaugurating policy that commends
itself to the best thoughts of the best peo-
pie This in itself is enough to make him
strong enough with the voters to assure a
re election.

heart the good Of the people but despite
this, In the majority of instances, their in.
fluence in the direction of better political
morality extends no further than the in1u-
ence of casting their ballot on election
day. They could make an impression be-
You'd that of merely voting; but holding
aloof from any mingling with the details
of practical politics, they place themselves
upon the same level with the citizen whose
learning does not extend to an ability TO
either read or write,
They lose sight OF the fact that voting
is but an incident to citizenship, not the
sum total Of it. Every citizen can vote,
but every citizen is not possessed OF the
talent necessary to direct Alright the actions
of his fellows-and hence upon those who,
through education and scholarly attain
ments, are possessed of this ability is i'm
posed the duty Of participating in public
affairs to such an extent, at least, as will di.
rect public sentiment in the right channel
and thus guide the action of those who de.
pend upon others for assistance in properly
discharging the right of suffrages.
There is no class so much given to COM
planning about bad government and the
evils of party politics as the class who
might properly be denominated scholars"
They see the defects in the political action
of their fellows and the bad effects OF bad
government; but instead of taking an &C
tive hold and remedying that which they
know to be q continual source of injury
they stand back and rest content with con-
tinual complaining. They excuse them
selves on the ground that the state of poll
tics Is such that man cannot participate
in them and maintain his own self respect.
If they believe this they are but under the
greater obligation to make their influence
felt for good, and their failure to do so is
not creditable to them.
The profession of politics followed hon,
estly and manfully is In every sense an
honorable one, and there is no reason why
a scholar and gentleman should not fol.
low 1t and meet with deserved success.

congratulated that their "cut'' was appreci-
ated If the Club is bound to invite to its
balls men whose only qualifications are a
thick neck and q confding tailor, the balls
had better be omitted for the sake of good
morals in society. Fortunately, however,

the best he can--taking the bad with the
