Not Greater than His Party.

Mr.. Cleveland has made full and final con-
fession Of the truth of the old saw which has
it that no man is greater than his party.
Whether Mr.. Cleveland really wished to be
greater than his party, whether he really
believed himself to be the child Of destiny
who was born to smite the spolls system to
death, or whether he merely palsvered in a
goody -goody style to please the mugwumps,
it is now needless 20 inquire. The moss
backs openly own him. now, henceforth, and
forever. Missouri has said to him, .'Do this
and thou shalt have the State delegation at the
next convention; do it not and it shall be
against thee He did Missouri's bidding
He is now South Caroliaa's to command.
And Tennessee's and Virginias also. He will
sing the song of Curtis and the mugwumps
no more.
To Mr.. Benton, district attorney for Mis-
souri,, belongs the honor of having finally dis
sipated the Presidents intentions or preten-
sions of civil service reform. The President
directed his appointees to abstain from active
campaigning in politics. Mr.. Benton went
straightway into very active service as a
democratic campaigner. The Presidents at
tenton was called to Mr.. Benton's very fla
grant disregard of his directions. Mr.. BEN
ton appeared to be a rather unimportant
parsonage, and so the President suspended
MIN from Once TO atone, we suppose, LOT the
still more fragrant political activity of other
appointees who were too influential to be
suspended.
Herein the President erred. Mr. Benton
was not an unimportant person. He first
wrote letter to the President, in which he
set forth the deeds that he had done, and
made assertion that he conceived himself to
be the owner of himself when not actually
employed a. district attorney. Then he
got the Missouri delegation, senatorial and
representative. to inform the President that
Mr.. Benton's case was Missourl's case, and
would be so regarded at the next National
Democratic Convention. Then the President
wrote to Mr. Benton and said that he had
received "a very manly letter'f ON him, and
that he was convinced that Mr.. Benton had
done just what the President wished him to
do; that the order forbiddng appointees to
take active part in politics did not apply to
appointees who controlled States delegations :;
that the whole thing was a Misunderstanding
any how, and finally that he begged Mr.
Benton to accept his considerations of esteem
and regard, and to consider the order of sus-
pension as revoked The President will be
supported by Missouri in 1888, but hs is no
longer the fair child of destiny who was to
tree the democratic Israel from the burden
of ancient tradition. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Reform Casuistry.

The Presidents letter refusing to re.
lnstate District Attorney Stone of Pennsyl-
vania, as he did Mr.. Benton of Missouri,
contains lesson for federal officials and
the public which they will undoubtedly
consider. Benton made democratic speech
es in the campaign but was restored to
office after the campaign was over. Stone
made republican speeches and was not
restored. Stones offence against the civil
service order of the President, fov the
alleged violation of which both were re-
moved. was not so fragrant as that of
Benton, since the former did not make so
manv speeches as the latter and attended
equally as we'll to the performance of the
duties of his office.
But we find upon examining the Presi-
dents letter that he makes a distinction
between republican speeches and demo-
cratic speeches, and insists that the Off
Gals appointed by him shall be loyal
to his administration. Now will
the mugwumps inform us whether this
demand of loyalty to the administration
by the officials is of the spirit of civil
service reform or of that of the spoils
doctrineP No republican can hold office
under Cleveland's letter if appointments
are to be governed by it. be-
cause if republican appointee be man
OF principle he must be opposed to the ad.
ministration. Nobody but democrat can
hold office under the terms of his letter,
and if none but democrats can hold Office
under democratic administration, where.
in does Cleveland's doctrine practically
differ from the principle, "to the victors
belong the spoilsP"
This is the explanation of the failure OF
Stone to be reinstated. There is some
slight mention of other charges agains,
him, but as before election he
held his Office securely in spite. o.
these, whatever they may have been, it is
perfectly plain from the tenor of the
Presidents letter that he is not restored
because he made republican speeches
Benton, being a democrat, and having
made democratic speeches, appears
worthy of being restored to office.
