DiSGRACEfUL POLITICS.

Under Spacious Pretense of Helping
Union Veterans Massachusetts, Repubii-
cans Attack CiviI-Service Reform.
Some weeks ago the opponents of
reform in Massachusetts, brought for
ward bill in the lower branch of the
Legislature authorizing the exemption
of every body who served in the Union
Army for the necessity of passing a
competitive examination in any case
where such examination is required by
law. The measure was ostcnsibly in
trOGuced as 1.-THE payment of a debt of
gratitude to the veterans. but the
hollowness of this pretcnsc was speedi-
~ exposed by the veterans themselves.
Several Representatives who had served
with honor in the war made earnest
protest against the idea that their
comrades either needed or desired any
favOritiSm. and it was made perfectly
plain that there was no demand for the
proposed change on the part Of the old
soldiers. The real motive of the
movement consequently had to be dis
closed. and it was openly admitted by
advocates of the scheme that they were
pushing it as a means of breaking
down the whole reform system in the
State. The bill finally passed the lower
branch by a vote of nearly three to
one.
1t came up in the Senate lately, and
was discussed at length. President
Pillshury made an admirable speech
showing that the change was not need
ed and not wanted by the veterans,
and that it could by no possibility ben
eft any old soldier except one who was
disqualified by incompetency to NIL an
office and who had pull on the ap-
pointing power He pointed out that
the bill was supported "by all the men,
berS of the Republican party who want
to discredit and break down the reform
OF the civil service" and he told them
frankly that 'thcy can not deal the
Republican party a more deadly blow
than the passage of this bill" The
Boston Journal, the leading Re-
publican organ of the State. made an
earnest appeal to Senator'S of its party
to reject the measure. 1.-The passage
of this BILL" it said, would be last
ing reproach to Massachusetts, Repub-
licanism" 1t declared that the bill
was ''insincere in its purpose and retro
gressive in its tendency" and affirmed
that 1.-THE Republican party can not af-
ford to shoulder it" Yet, in the face
of such warnings, the Senate first
made the bill worse by requiring in
stead of allowing the exemption of vet
Grams from examination, and then
passed it, thirteen Republicans voting
for it and only eleven against it.-M

WAR-LlKE REPUBLICANS,

How Former Administrations in Power
Have Provided for Protecting the Ma
tionaI Honor.
The assurance exhibited by various
of our Republican contemporaries, In
speaking of what would be done and
what would not be done for our fisher
men if Mr.. Blaine were President is
simply sublime. 1t challenges aGmirl-
ton.
Would Mr.. Blaine. in Mr.. Bayard' s
place, have done better? Yes, say
tie Blaincomaniacs. The Piumcd
Knight, we are informed, would have
ordered the navy to proceed at once to
the Canadian shores, reprisals would
have been made, and England would
have heard news calculated to make
the British lion culver with fear from
the end of his nose to the tip of his tail.
But Mr.. Blaine in Mr.. Bayard's place,
or in the Presidential chair, would
have done no such thing. Why? Well,
because pitching into Peruvian guano
beds and fighting John Ball are two
altogether different things. Mr.. Blaine
gave us a specimen of his method OF
twisting the lions tail when American
citizens were locked up as suspects in
British prisons. Again, even were Mr..
Blaine in office and fully disposed to
show fight, he would have nothing to do
it with. The Republican party after
four-and-twenty years of power left cur
navy what we see tan unsuccessful
opponent of a coal barge. Untold
millions have been spent for a navy
under Republican Presidents. and the
country has what to show for it? The
TallapOOsa and Secor Robson. Mr..
Bayard might never be anxious to
vindicate the honor of the flag, yet Mr..
Blaine's party has left the country
without so much as reliable dispatch
boat. Wonderful things Mr.. Blaine or
any one else could do with the Ameri-
can navy as handed down from Repub-
lican Administrations to President
Cleveland
If any trouble were to arise the
genius of the American people would
doubtless rise to the emergency. and
provide adequate means OF otfense and
defense. But it would not be because
Of the Republican party or any OF
its leaders. They are responsible for
Our present lack of facilities for pro-
tecting the national honor, and they
are the last who, without making them
selves ridiculous, could stand up and
tell what terrible rumpus they would
make about England's ears were they
in power.-BOSton Globe.

TRYING TO EXPLAIN.
The Hard Task Before Governor Foraker
of OhiO-What a Prominent Republicad
Has to Say of Him.

The Hard Task Before Governor Foraker,
Of Ohio-What a Prominent Republicans
Has to Say of Him.
Governor Foraker has arrived in
Cincinnati. His coming was not her
aided with trumpets and ''sich, nor
was he met at the depot by the Young
Mems Blaine Club of this city. OF
course this failure TO properly receive
his EXcellency has no significance.
Some people might imagine that be-
cause the Blaine Club went to SPRING
field in a body to secure his nomina-
ton at the hands OF the Republican
State Convention the same organiZa-
ton would welcome him with out
stretched arms. \ few persons, and
thev might be misinformed. say such
is the feeling of the Blaine Club.
The band of young Republicans has
taken no action in the premises.
The Governors visit to the Queen
City is said to be that of private citi-
zen. 1t is rUmored that he requested
that no public demonstration be made,
which accounts for what might appear
to be a lack If enthusiasm. Report
has it that his EXceilency will be ten
dercd a receipt m by the Lincoln Club
before his return to Columbus. There
are some pet 1liar stories floating
around as to the cause of the Cover n
or's quiet visit. 1t is asserted by a
number of gentlemen who should be
we'll informed that he is anxious to
make a few explanations. The Gov
ernor has always been claSsed among
the smartest and shrewdest of polite
ians. That he should have occasion to
explain might appear strange. Sever
al persons, probably evilly disposed,
have, however, likened Little Brooches
to an Ex-Governor who has the reputa-
ton of having made more mistakes in
a less time than all his predecessors.
In short, he is said to have beaten the
record.
There is bare suspicion that the
Governor and his friends, Mayor Smith,
Sam Bailey, William b. Smith ct al,
meant to have Il conference as to the
proper course to pursue at the coming
fall convention and election. There is
also a growing belief that the last
named gentlemen have discovered that
a screw is loose somewhere in the party
machinery. and that there is danger of
a revolt "a sort of mutiny. so to speak.
That there is something wrong can not
be questioned.
A reporter spent an entire night do
ing detective work, but was unable to
learn exactly what was up. He was
satisfied, however. that a few panels
of fencing were down; that the pasture
was unprotected, and that there were
grave doubts as to whether the posts
could be reset unless the entire Repub-
lican herd was given an even chance
for the clover spots.
The esteem with which Governoc
Foraker is held by the Blaine Club j.
best evidenced by the remarks Of one
of the officers of that organic; tion as
made at the house on Fourth street V; ry
lately. Said he: Foraker is either
foolishly inconsistent or else is del;b-
crate falsifier. One day he declares he
will not interfere with any of the ap-
pointments of his appointees, and the
next he states he will see that certain
gentlemen are named for positions. -
