A COMPROMISE CABINET

Mr. GladstOne's Cabinet marks tra1 sitOH
stage in the fortunes of the Liberal party. Of
the fourteen members, only six were III the
Cabinet formed in 1880 and only one OF these,
Lord Spencer, holds the same Office. or the
seventeen associates who went out of Office last
year. eight have been dropped and nine re-
tanned. but of the nine only one, in addition TO
the Prime Minister, returns to his former port
folio. This is Lord Kimberley, who has never
been regarded as a strong Secretary for India.
The remaining seven have exchanged Offices,
in one or two instances to secure in
creased administrative efficiency, but in other
cases apparently as matter of political ex-
pedency. OF the five new members three
were Ministers under the last Liberal Govern
mcnt and have been promoted to the Cabinet
These are Mr. Mundela; Sir Farrer llerschell
and Mr. Campbell Zimmerman. The remain
ing two are Lord Ripon, formerly Viccroy in
India, and Mr.. Morley, who after only three
years of Parliamentary service has been re-
warded with a seat i'll the Cabinet.
The word used in England to describe the
new Cabinet is compromise" In one sense
certainly this is an accurate designation. Few
of the leading mepbers obtain the positions to
which they aspired, or for which they have
peculiar qualifications. Lord ROsebery and Sir
Farrer Hcrschell have every reason to be con-
graduated upon their good fortune, but Lord
Granville. Mr.. Childers, Mr.. chamberlain, Mr..
Trevelyan and even Sir William lIarcOurt have
been forced to make personal sacrifices. 1t has
been Sir William Harcourt's ambition to be
Lord High Chanoe llor, and the CHARACTERISTIC
of the Exchequer was perhaps tue last Office
W hich he desired, especially as he has never
been credited with ability as financier. Mr..
Trevelyan had reason To expect a more import
ant Office than the Secretaryship for Scotland.
Both MI. ChiIdeis and Mr.. Chamberlain would
have preferred the Treasury Office, and Lord
Grany illc it is safe To assume, does not feel
fattered by being transferred to the Colonial
Office. Apparently Mr.. Gladstone, finding it
necessary To disapp0int one or two of his assoc
ciates, decided upon general Encouragement
of administrative forces and called upon nearly
every one to make some personal sacrifice
under the pressure. of political necessity. Mr.
Chamberan's relations with the Prime Minis
ter have evidently been strained during the in
| terval of Cabinet-makink; and If he be dis
posed to consider himself unfairly dealt with,
he will have the consolation of knowing that
the majority of his colleagues have also been
| made the victims of compromise.
If Mr. Gladstone's chief object had been the
organization OF thoroughly efficient working

4 POLITICAL nHATiSIL.

There is n great deal of talk just now about
Mr.. Randalrs opinions, as il he had been 4
sound protectionist and had changed or IA II
be had come To the conclusion that he must
Weld to the majority of his party. or as If he
had been q hypocrte all the time, free-t trader
thinly disguised. and had now made up his
mind to throw off The mask.
These speculations are not of smuch
value. People who have taken the trouble
TO read what Mr. Randall has said, and
have been able to judge without bias
what he has done in past years, have known
perfectly well that he was never a sound pro-
tectionist, as most Republicans are; that H. he
has never held it constitutional to levy duties
for the purpose of protection. On the othef
hand, he has never been genuine irre-tradet J;
he has never desired, in framing duties neces'
sary for revenue, to discriminate as far as pos
sibe in favor of foreign manufactures, ana
against home industries. Being from Pennsyl-
vania he has found it necessary to his political
existence To defend industries against iree-
trade assaults, and some people have delnueu
themselves with the idea thar he was rs good
a protcctionst as anybody" On the othcr
hand, he has had tO act with his party AFTER Il
fashion, or TO get out of il, and III not lew IN
stances, as in the selection Of Mr.. Fernando
Wood ms Chairman of the COmmitiee on Ways
and Means, he has done the work of free-traders
so thoroughly that they have dclud"d them
selves with the idea that he WAS IA good Il
Democrat as anybody"
Ii is principally Mr.. RandalPs business
whether lie shall continue to occupy this not
very elevated position. The free-trade major
ity in the House kicks him without mercy. and
if he chooses he can 90 down on his knees ana DC
humble. He is called hypocIitc by many
friends. who think that the only way to Keep
him alive within bis party. and II he chooses he
can prove that they are right. Bn: there Is one
thing he cannot do. He cannot continue to use

Cabinet, he would not have distributed the
portfolios ss he has done. But as he had no
reason to expect that the new Government
would have long lease of life or succeed in
carrying any important measures OF genera
legislation, he probably considered 1t OF minor
consequence whether the right man was III
every instance in the right place. His main
purpose was to form strong administrative
council, which would fairly represent all ere
ments of the party and yet find it within the
range of practical politics to take up the lrlsh
question. In this respect ne has been ta'ry
successful. The new Cabinet contains fewer
Radicals and more moderate Liberals than the
forecasts indicated. In this respect 1t Is a com

WIVES AND CHILDREY ~ me SNOW
II is not pleasant to think that in this wintry
weather the coke workers of the Connellsvilic
region ana their wives and children are turned
out into the snnwstorm because they and their
former employers do not agree about wages.
Some Of them, it is true, lost claim upon public
sympathy by resOrtlng To violence So0h after
the strike began. But there Is no reason To
SUPPOSE that the greater number have so mis-
behaved, and meanwhile the wives aud children
of the men are entitled to some consideration,
even at the hands of rich corporation. The
men have not a little cause for Indignation
The advance in wages which they asked was. III
Sumo cases az least, conceded but in cruel
mockeIy the prices of the necesSarics Of LIE
were raised in the same ratio at the companies
stores, from which the men are compelled to
buy When this piece Ot injustice was dis
covered, il is not strange that the men again
refused to work. The coke companies, 1t Is
stated have Just imported other llungarlans To
take the places of the strikers. but some OF
these. after Learnt x the causes of the con-
troyersy. have taken sides with the strikers and
refused TO work That also is natural. The
prospect of having employment under such
employers cannot be particularly attractive to
anybody.
There ought to be a justand intelligent pub
lie opinion in regard to controversies between
labor aud capital, upholdiDg those who are in
the right, and demanding settlement by arbitra-
ton wherever tina, is possible. Pubic opinion
ought to censure without qualification those on
either side who appear to be III the wrong. 1t
is not the fact, IA some imagine, that the work
ers are always right. In the Monorgahela
strike, for instance, they were clearly in the
wrong in rejecting the decision of an aIbiter by
which they had agreed to abide, and still more
in the wrong in repeatedly resorting to lawless
violence during tho months of contest On the
o her hand it is not the fact, as some appear 10
imagine, that the employers are always right
On the contrary, rs in this COnnclsvIlle case
their conduct il sometimes in the last degree
unfair and oppressive. Tho combination OF
coke producers has extOrtcd from mlnufactur-
ing companies such pr ices as it has pleased and
thus has secured large profits for itself. Its re-
iusal TO allow fair wages and decent treatment
To those who do its work aud make it's profits
possible deserves the most unqualified censure.

THE UYCERTATN1Y BEGINS.

A tariff bill is about to be reported. MI
Moore, as was expected, appears to Do O"o

hard time to frame bill without him. huhor
gives some details which may prove OF niue
value since the measure may be changed Do
fore il gets into the House. 1t Is SAID the uuCy
ON pic iron is to be reduced to 80 per ton, anu
on steel rails to $13 80, and on iron ore to oo
cents. This. contrasted with some other
changes, looks like another such evaslvo ana
tricky bill as the one offered by Fernando " oou
years ago, which was at first represented aS
satisfactory tn the iron and steel manufacturers
and as helpful rather than hurtful to producing
interests. But the very discussion OF that Dill
proved most disastrous to these ana all lhuus-
tries, and after months of depressing uhcer-
tainty the country rejoiced when 1t was klileu
upon the motion of MIR. GarhNld
II is said that the new bill will reduce the
du les Oh chemicals from an average oil ~ IL
TO % per cent. But no one can guess from TINS
statement how great the change may be III
duties on certain important articles, or now
destructive in It's effects. The duties on glass
and glassware and on wOOllens are also to be re-
duccd, but here also it is impossible to de-
termine from published statements how great
is the change proposed on certain qualities
Probably the bill would increase the revenue
if it were passed, by opening the doors to
large increase of imports while 1t would pros
trate important branches of manufacture. But
the uncertainty which now begins will in any
case be most harmful. It.must continue foI

Railway employees seem to be having their
innings these days. especially in this city, 1t Is
not so long ago that the elevated railway conf
panies surrendered to their engineers, and yes
terday the surface lines cdpitulated to their
conductors and drivers. The demands OF the
latter appear TO have been reasonable enough
At any rate, latter its experience on Wednesday,
the travelling public will hardly feel Ike SYM
pathzing with the companies under any CIR
cumstances. On that day, although the storm
began early in the morning, and evidently had
come to stav. the companies seemed to delay
making efforts.to surmount the difficulties in the
way of running cars regularly. With perhaps
one exception, night came and found them en-
tirely unable to meet the demands of half the
people who wanted to get home. Either the
managers of the lines are inefficient or they ana

LAWLESS OPFICIAIS REMOYED.

Governor Foraker has promptly removed the
Police Commissioners of Cincinnati upon
charges of misconduct in Office. Happily there
is no room for question as to the proprety of
this course. The conduct of the officials who
have been turned out has been in tho last
degree offensive. The Mullen case, to which
frequent reference is made, is but one of many
in which the Comm i>soners have shown an
utter disregard OF pablo duty. This man, 1t
will be remembered, was convicted upon his
own confession of the most outrageous conduct
as al official during The election two years ago.
He deprived q large number of cOlOred citizens
of their right to vote, and Imprisoned them
without cause. Alter conviction, and when
only part of his term had brcn served, this
man was pardoncd by Governor llaadly, and
thereupOn reappOinted as an officer of the
police by the Commissioners who have now
been removed. Certainly more shameless
disregard of law or public decency could
hardly be conceived. The conduct of the man
at the election last fall was such as might have
been expected, and he was an active partici-
pant ia the Infamous crimes by which the city
of Cincinnati has been disgraced and the Gov
eminent of Ohio thrown into confusion.
The removed Commissioners it is stated,
have been advised by Ex-Governor Hoadly, as
