those of the dead past, 1t may be that in

The statement on the part Of the FREE

WHAT HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED.

Senator Edmunds, by bare majority,
has succeeded in carrying through the sen
ate the report of the judiciary committee,
censuring Attorney General Garland for re
fusing to furnish the papers called for in
the Duskin case. His victory, if such it
may be called, will not prove of benefit
to himself personally, or to the republican
party al large. The whole outcome of the
tedious debate proves that in the war waged
by the Vermont senator upon the President
the majority Of the obstructing senators
had little or no heart, and the republican
party, az IA whole, great deal less. The
utter insincerity and dishonesty of the lead
ers Of the opposition was demonstrated
early in the contest The proposition was
made more than once 10 confirm without
hesitancy the Presidents appointees if he
would but admit that removals had been
made for political reasons, and not for the
good of the public service.
Refusing to do this, Senator Elmunds
and his fellow ODstructiouists dragged out
the debate through number Of weeks
only t. accomplish in the end the endorse,
ment Of his position by "A majority of one.
The attempt to force the people into the
belief that the republican senator's have
been fighting for great constitutional
principle has signally failed, and Senator
Edmunds, instsad Of adding TO his reputa
ton for learning and statesmanlibe quail.
ties, has materially lessened it,
The result of the contest, so far as Pres
ident Cleveland is concerned, is very differ
ent. He comes out of it stronger with the
people than when it was entered upon. His
party has come more united upon him,
and many who at the beginning of it were
ready To condemn his apparent slowness in
making removals now perceive that there
was wisdom as we'll IA honesty In the posi-
ton assumed by him. The republican
senators will have to adopt some other
method of making political capital for en-
suing campaigns. Fighting the President
has proven failure.

A SP0lLS PARTY.

The republican party is the most tena-
cious spells party this country has ever
known. During the whole period Of its do.
mina,ion in public affairs it carried 10
the extreme limit the practice Of giving 10
party henchmen the spoils of party victory.
In the majority if not in all instances pub
lie offices were bestowed upon individuals
primarily for party services rendered, and
not because of ability to discharge the du.
ties attaching to the offices. II now the
claim is put forward that the interests Of
civil service reform is suffering at the
hands Of the present administration, II Is
done for political effect and to force the re
tentiOn Of incompetent republican officials,
and not from any honest motive, The
whole fight in the senate by the "obstruc
tionlsts" was with this end in view. De
spite the fact that the republican party vas
In power almost n quarter of a century,
drawing from the treasury millions Of dol
lars each year, republican senators and re
publican newspapers grow indignant when
it is even limited by democrats that now
and then a republican official who has not
discharged the duties Of his office honestly
should be turned out-and an honest
democrat given his place.
Never having either in theory or prac
tice, while in power, shown any fondness
for, or belief In civil service reform, the re-
publican press now boast that President
Cleveland is destroying the last vestage of
il. The charge of wholesale removals by
the President made by party newspapers Is
not borne out by the facts, for during his
incumbenCy of the Presidential Office he
