A HARD DEATH.

| The Spells System Being stransled by an
Honest Leader of the True Democracy
-Impotent Republican Clamor.
The spoils system dies hard. Presi.
dent Cleveland has as much trouble
with it as the strong man of myth
ology had with the hydra. 1t starts
up in threatening shape at each new
appointment. Somebody conceives
himself sighted and wronged when a
Government Office is filled by differ
emit person than the one he recon-
mended. There are idle threats and
childish denunciations because the
Presidents choice, made after due
| elaboration and impartial investiga-
ton, happens not to agree with the
preference of some local leader. The
Republican organs eagerly seize upon
the circumstance as notable instance
of Democratic disaffection, forgetting
that the great Democratic party is
heart and soul with the President in
his honest efforts to make appoint
ments conducive to the best interests
of the public service. The Democratic
party is essentially the party of the
people, and the people recognize the
| soundness of the policy which aims
only at better administration of the
offices of the Government.
President Cleveland looks to capa-
bility rather than personal preference
as qualification for office and, conf
dent in the integrity of his motives
and his desire to fill the offices with
the best material he can find, he can
afford to disregard the petty conn
plants of interested politicians. He
has been subjected to pressure such
as no President has heretofore encoun-
tered to depart from the wise, eau
tious course of making appointments
in accordance with the dictate his

sought to control him. The profess,

essimal part of the community, al.
though they make such great noise
and their influence on the people is
very small indeed. There has been
constant cry of Democratic disaffec.
ton towards the President, kept up by
the Republican press. aided by few
newspapers which wear the mask of
Democracy to conceal their real de.
signs. Yet the popularity of Mr..
Cleveland not only remains mistaken,
but is constantly gaining ground. The
Democratic party recognize in him
strong, fearless, prudent leader, who
puts into practice the true principles
of Democracy, and presents to the Ma
ton the unaccustomed example of
Chief Magistrates adherence to ante
election promises, reform and honesty.
There will be always clamor in inter
ested quarters against such a course,
but it will be drowned in the mighty
voice of the American people proclaim
ing their Endorsement of such a faithful,
steadfast servant.-4lbany Argus.

HER PRESIDENT TOO.

The Harmony and Affection Existing Be
tween Grover and Miss Rose Cleveland.
One of the ladies who has been a
White House guest during the latter
part of the winter is my authority for
a pleasing insight into the ways and
incidents of it's life Like all bachelors,
the President is little Indifferent to
family intercourse and amenities as a
change and rest from his work. About
all he sees of the ladies of the White
House is at his meals. Then he APP
pears the jovial, jesting man of the
world, always ready to make each
passing moment the pleasantest. Miss
Cleveland addresses him almost with
out exception as Mr.. President"
When her friend said: '@Why do
you always call him Mr.. PRESIDENT"
she replied: HE is my President as
well as every body else's.
Rarely does she call him Grover.
The brother and sister evidently have
deep affection for each other, al
though little is manifest on the surface.
He looks after her wants as faithfully
as it is possible to imagine, and many
apparently volunteer services from the
attendants of the Executive Mansion
are suggested by the President. His
use of the White House stables is al
ways modified by his regard for Miss
Cleveland's wishes. If by any chance
he learns that she desires to take a
ride, he first learns which carriage and
what horses she wants before. making
his own selection.
Miss Cleveland attends to the duties
of her mistressship in the most
methodical way, and has, lost much, it
is said, of her old-time blithesome man.
ner and freedom. One of the curiosi-
ties of her situation, which amused her
a good deal, is that whenever she goes
about the house she is expected to lead
the way. If she passes from one room
to another with a company of her
friends they all stand back and make
way for her to pass first, custom
probably as ancient as the English
court, by which she, with her demo-
cratic notions, was at first good deal
shocked. Evidently all that she does
in her position is prompted by most
dutiful desire to be to her brother all
that sister could be. A greal deal Of
nonsense is printed about her monitor

Open the Door.

The suggestion in our recent dis
patches furnishes the key apparently
to the Republican opposition in the
Senate to open sessions. As the rule
now stands they can have all the adj
vantages of the open and the secret
session combined. If there is any
thing in executive session which they
are really ashamed of, or which for any
other reason they wish to keep secret
they can do so. If they want any thing
made public they can so make it by
violating their oaths and ''leaking.'
This is not very high-minded view
of the matter, but it is logical and
plausible.
ParadoXical as it may seem the pres
ent method of conducting the ex-
ecutive session furnishes the strongest
argument for continuing it and at the
same time for abolishing it. Under it
the public gets sooner or later, and for
the most part with admirable prompti-
tude, every thing of interest that trans
pires behind the closed doors. In point
of fact the things which Senators most
desire to keep secret and which it is
really best should be kept secret, If any
thing is so kept, are the first to be
divulged. They are of course the very
things in which curious public is
most deeply interested; and the demand
to be informed of them creates the sup
ply. Why, then, it may very plausibly
be argued, is there any need of change?
But, on the other hand, if the secret
session is a delusion and a humbug
why should it be kept up? Why should
the solemn Senatorial body keep up
the ridiculous pretense of a secret ses-
sion when they have not the wisdom
or the dignity or prudence to keep
their secretse It is not becoming in
the highest legislative body in the land,
if not in the world, to keep up such an
absurd farce. While, then, there may
be no need of abolishing the secret ses-
sion for the enlightenment of the pub
lie and its protection from ''star cham
ber'' tyranny, there is abundant need
for abolshing it in the fact that it is an
ignoble farce.-Detroit Free Press.
