Can Cleveland Get Along without

! There is a little matter which has kept
/ pretty well out OF the newspapers, but
which is worrying the politicians great
| deal-and that is the state OF affairs be-
/ tween the administration and Mr. Tilden
! relative to the resignation Of Assistant
| Secretary smith. Mr.. Manning aud Mr.
! Smith were both appointed with Mr.. Til
denis strong Endorsement, and they
were the least in accord with MIR. CleYe-
| lands civil service notions Of any OF his
| Official family. But they were entirely in
| accord with Mr.. Tllden's ideas. The
! Treasury was ably conducted, but there
| was no Mugwump nonsense around about.
| Eugene higgins, owing 10 his facility in
| turning out Republicans and putting in
| Democrats became great national issue.
! Mr.. Cleveland worried about it, but Mr..
Manning held on to higgins, and the Hlg-
| gins method obtained in the Treasury.
Assistant Secretary Smith was a power
ful coadjutof, and among these three the
| civil service law was worked so that in
stead OF one thing-geDerai efficiency
| being required Of the Treasury clerk, two
! things were necessary-he must know his
/ business and be a good Democrat besides
/ Assistant Secretary FaiTchild, who is the
/ legatee OF the Seymour influence IN New
1 York politics, was no obstacle 10 this kind

exactly after Mr.. Tilden's own heart. But
the appointments OF Collector Hedden came
and that didn't suit MIR. Tllden Then be
didn't think the President laid stress
enough in mis- message upon Mr.. Tilden's
ideas on coast defenses, and the Sage of
Greystone is reported TO have said: "They
think they can get on without me. Well,
let us see." Soon after this came Mr..
John Btgelow's strange conduct about the
Assistant Treasurershi p--strange no long
er when Uncle Sammy rilden is remem-
/ bered. Mr. Manning's resignation fol-
lowed, which it is alleged would have
taken place even without the pRralytic
stroke; then, virtually without a mo-
menps warning, Assistant Secretary
Smiths. MIR. Smiths reasons were
unique, and still more unique in their APP
plication, as he only found out the worth
lessness OF his Office after years expe-
Renee OF it. SO all these things put to-
getner and some others show that Mr..
Tilden's friends do not regard Mr..
| Cleveland with favor, and this 10 mighty
bad for Mr.. Cleveland. Besides, New
York has a candidate in David b. Hill,
who in his Boston speech came out fiat
footed against Mr.. Clevelanp's civil SER
vice hobbies and exactly in consonance
with Mr.. Tilden's. Around Democratic
dinner tables, in Democratic committee
rooms, among knots OF Democratic Sena-
tors and Representatives, the talk is that
Mr. Tilden means 10 physic Mr.. Cleveland
so that ne won't be IN running order when
the saddling bell rings in 1888.

Drawn W, Brains.

Editor Morning NeloS: What have "the
workingmen" been doingI What laws
have they been violating, or do they pro-
pose to violate, that they have conceived
such a prejudice against lawyers? 1t
seems to be merely an uncalled-tor preju-
dice, as they have advanced no charges
or specifications.
The proper rule should be "the best
man for Office" and if lawyers are, by
/ training and education, best fitted for the
work contemplated, the community
/ should not be deprived of their services
| simply because they happen to be law
| vers. How many workingmen are there
| who, when called on, are capable Of fran.
! ing an act OF the Legislature? How MANY
are there who, after the law has been
! promul gated, are capable OF inter.
! preting it? Lawyers, by their train.
| ing and knowledge OF parliamentary
rules, are peculiarly fitted for bearing
prominent parts in all deliberative as.
/ semblies, and their superior education
aud culture naturally place them in the
vanguard. Every man should be assigned
to his proper place, and while muscie and
/ sinew are the precious possession of our
working friends, brains and mental abili-
| ty are generally conceded TO the pro-
scri5ed lawyers. Both classes are essen
! tally working men-the knights of Labor
! WIFI Il6lT 1dHQS, bHe lawyers Win LDelr
| brains-aud | doubt not that, under fair
comparison, the latter are the harder
workers OF the two.
Have our friends OF bone and muscle
forgotten the old fable of the other
organs OF the body rebelling
| against the stomach, and do they
remember The consequences of that
strife? BoJh classes are indispensable to
the commonwealth in their respective du-
ties; and they should combine their forces
for the general good, and not be antagO-
nized. The lawyer, as well as every
one else, lives by and through the ex-
ertions of the working men, and though
the working man may not earn his sup
port through the lawyers, he still derives
a benefit from their studies and their
labors, which he would find the loss OF if
deprived Of it.
But if the prescription be based upon
mere prejudice we refer our friends to the
old song:
PRAY, goody, please to moderate the rancor
of your tongue;
Why flash such sparks Of fury from your eyes?
Remember when the judgments weak the
prejudice is strong etc.

There is no country on the face
of the globe where labor has as good
opportunities as in this country.
At the same time, capital backed
by energy and enterprise, has a
good show. Many of Jul rich men
have risen from the ranks of labor,
which would be next to impossible
in any other country. If capital
and labor will pull together there
is no good reason why they should
not get on together in America.

Bradstreet makes the following
startling calculation concerning the
result of the late strikes:
cat twenty-three industrial CEN
tiers north of the Ohio, east Of and
including St. Louis, the loss of wag-
es through strikes since May /, has
aggregated S 100000, of receipts
by employers $2,500,O00, and of fu-
ture contracts due probably to la
Dor troubles $24,SOO,0O0 alone re-

The Columbus Sunday Capital
says: We advise in the liquor
business not to be in too much ola
hurry to pay into the treasury the
5000 or 800 license provided for in

passed by less than a quorum of the
Ohio Senate. Remember that the Ii
quor men who were too previous in
paying the Scott tax never got their
money back, andthatt those who pro-
ceeded leisurely in the matter saved
themselves the 5000. Don't pay
until you have to-"

The strikers in different parts of
the country are returning to work,
some at an advance, and others at
the old rates of wages. Business
will improve as the unnatural con-
tests between labor and capital
cease The occupation of the pro-
fessional loafer who fastens like a
barnacle to honest labor, will be
gone, and his melodious voice will
be heard on the street corners dis
cussing the political situation.

In the second volume of his Me-
moirs Gcn.Grant made the follow
ing startling declaration "Any-
thing that could have prolonged the
war a year beyond the time that it
did finally close, would probably
have exhausted the North to such
an extent that they might then have
abandoned the contest and agreed
to a separation" In the mouths of
most men this would be put down
as an extravagant and indefensible
u~tterance; but Grant was usually
careful about what he wrote, and
he was writing on a subject he
knew more about than any one else.

To BE Tested
cleveland Plain Dealer

The question as to whether any
act of legislation participated in
by the Senate as organized after
the Democratic members left it was
legal and of binding force may be
more serious than the Republicans
thought when they resolved upon
their revolutionary proceeding. It
will certainly be brought to the test
whether or not the law and consti-
tuition can be set aside whenever a
party exigency requires it by some
sort of trick or legal bubble. The
Republicans had their way and they
had their fun, and now the serious
part of the performance is about to
begin. 1t remains to be tested
whether the laws and the constitu-
ton of Ohio + to be respected or
whether a set of political tricksters
can do as they please and defy both
law and constitution when enter
prise of party stealing is on hand.
=. We suppose that no one will at
tempt to justify the action of the
Republican minority in taking for
chile possession of the Senate and
acting as a majority upon any
grounds except that it was a small
party trick to gain a supposed par
ty advantage. 1t is only alleged
that no yea and nay vote was call
ed for the journal of the Senate
does not show that there was aquo-
rum present. There is no one who
will presume to say hat there was
actually a quorum present, because,
as a matter of fact, there was not,
and it is susceptible of proof that
there was not. There were but sew
enteen Senators present when the
vote was taken, and no fiat of a
presiding officer and no bubble
about the record or the journal will
make any more. When the case
comes into court it will be COMPEL
ed to go behind the journal and
show that as a matter of fact there
were but seventeen Senators pres
ent when the vote was taken onthe
Cincinnati case, and, therefore, no
Quorum being present that act and
all subsequent acts dependent upon
it are invalid and Of no binding
force. 1t will be competent to show
that every Republican Senator who
was present when that vote was ta-
ken knows very well that no quo.
rum voted, because no quorum was
there. The presiding officer knew it
The clerks knew it. All these arc
competent witnesses, and if they
are asked in courtif a quorum vot
ed they must either testify hat 6
Quorum did not vote or perjure
themselves.
The cold, hard fact is that nc
Quorum voted upon that-occasion
and every man who participated
in that action knew it then anc
knows it now. The plain provision
of the constitution was disregardec
openly and defiantly, and a shabby
r piece of trickery set upin it's place
, 1t remains to be seen now whether
that sort of thing can have the force
of law in Ohio. 1t remains to bt
, seen whether smart trickery of DIES
perate politicians shall take thu
r place of constitutional methods.

The acting Commissioner of
agriculture, in reply to a resolution
of the house making inquiries con-
corning stocks of corn and wheat in
and other countries, the de-
mands ofconsumption and the pros
pect of production throughout the
has transmitted an eXhaus-
compilation of statistics by
Professor Dodge, the statistician of
the department of agriculture. The
tables show that the worlds pro-
duct of wheat in 1885 was 10000
600 bushels; the requirments Of
consumption 2,165, 00O,0 900 bushels,
presenting a deficiency of 55,000,-
600 bushels, drawn from the pre-
vious years surplus of 125,000,000
bushels. They find the product of
Europe amedium, that of India and
Australia a large, and a heavy re-
duction in the United States. For
the supply of the coming year the
crops ofAustralia, India and South
America already harvested are
probably about 100000 bushels
less than those of the United States
promise fully 1OO,OOO,OO0 bushels
more than the harvest of 1885. The
wheat in the United States on May
1, last, was 1O4,0oO,OOO bushels
against 152, 1000, 900 bushels in 1885.

everything in their power to send
Anarchists to this country. At
home they are a disturbing element
and are alwaysk kept underline strict

the United States is therefore an in
genious method of getting rid of
them without recourse to the ma
chinery of the law. Not many years
ago foreign nations had a plan of
sending their paupers over here for
us to take care of, but Congress very
quickly stopped it, and it is very

like character will have to be pass
