A PROrER PROMOTION.

Brigadier General A. S. Roberts was yes
terday promoted TO the Office of major
general. General Roberts richly deserves
this promotion aside from the fact that
he was until this the senior brigadier gen
eral of the state. 1t Is promotion which
will be embossed by the officers of all the
companies in the state, to whom General
Roberts has endeared himself in spite of
the fact that he is a strict disciplinarian,
and makes the boys stand around while in
camp. He has always taken great in
terest in the organization of the volunteer
companies and always cheerfully given
his time, and money too, where it was
necessary. If the filling of the Office of
major-general was left to the captains OF
com panies there is no doubt that Gen
Roberts would be elected by reclamation
As long as the state selects such men a:
officers, its volunteer service cannot fail tC
70 be efficient.

CLEvELAND's ADMINISTRATIONS.

When the Honorable Joseph Pulitzer,
editor Of the New York World, ad'
vises President Cleveland ''to aban-
don his negative personal policy
and TO adept a positive party policy"
ne impudently talks the sheerest
nonsense, of which he should be made
heartily ashamed. If there has ever been
a man in the presidential seat who has ut
terly ignored everything like a personal
policy, and consistently and persistently
p1rsued broad public Tor party, if you
please,) policy, that man is the present in
cumbent. The principle of which Cleve-
land Is the embodiment, and which lifted
him into the presidency, that only merit
and fitness for the duties of office should
secure places III the civil ser
vice, is essentially at war
with everything akin to personal
policy, and the two could not coe1ist for
0ne moment in the same person. just as
IL was impossible for old Andrew Jackson
with his bull-head and all absorbing egot'
ism and selfshness, to pursue any other
than purely personal policy, which
naturally gave birth to the corrupting
and debasing spells system, so it is prac
tically impossible for man of Grover
Cleveland's moral and intellectual make
mp 70 follow any other than high pub
aic policy, free from the suspicion o
everything personal" Old Jack hon
estly could not understand how any maj
could be at once a pure pa
5riot, and an opponent of his
and therefore measured merit by yea
mt elections in his behalf. Clevelan
seems clearly TO perceive that man ca
DE both patriotic and efficient in the pull
bic service, and yet in bitter personal an
political opposition to him. Clevelan
is : statesman-"0ld Hickory" was -
"A successful Indian fighter.

WHAT INSTRUCTION, MEAN

Il has been rumored that there will be
an attempt on the part of some members
elect 20 the legislature to shirk the in
structious, under which they were elected,
by going into caucus for United States
senator. These instructions evidently
mean nothing at all, or they are intended
TO instruct the legislators as to their
course. 1t can scarcely be believed that
the party would stultlfy itself by giving
instructions, unless il meant that its candl'
dates should obey them. The people di
rectly or indirectly, elect every official
who fills en- elective Office, and the
case of legislator disobeying the
instructions of his constituents is not un
unlike that of delegate to the electoral
college supporting the man against whom
his state votes, if such a thing is known
| The voters are supreme, and when they
give instructions to a candidate, if h'
can not honorably obey them he SHOULD
so state to his party before the election
And, again, instructions do not mean ,
complimentary vote unless so specified
but, in the absence of qualifications, tina
the candidate, if elected, shall use all hon

THE PLUMED KNIGHT AGAIN.

Mr.. Blaine's friends are always giving
him opportunities to creep out of any
trouble he gets into in his political
speeches. Some one has been calling his
attention to complaints against his civil
service utterances in his speeches in Penn
sylvania. He comes to the rescue with
the reply that the kickers are certainly
mistaken; that he believes in civil service
(for the other party. Blaines speeches
are very remarkable in many ways, but the
most notable is that they can be
twisted to suit any Interpretation he
desires put on them. He is a sophist of
the old school, and can produce plausible
reasons to back any stand that he takes
This matter of calling his attention to
supposed mistakes is merely ruse to
keep him before the people. Jas. G. and
his friends want it to be kept fresh in
their minds that he is in the field for the
presidential race, and the more catching
utterances that can be drawn from him
the better it is for his chances. He is a
politician of the first water, and will
make any promise that he thinks will
benefit him, without regard to the full
fillment of 1t. If he were ever to b,
elected president there would be no les:
than five applicants for every cabine
position, each of whom he had promised
