cam sCmuRz AGAIN.

The CAPITAL JOURNAL had a
word for this illustrious German
citizen few days since. The San
Francisco Chronicle says:
Carl Schurz, the well-known
German-American orator, editor and
man of public affairs, who was SO
open in his advocacy Of Cleveland
in 1884, will not open his mouth
this year about American politics.
A World reporter interviewed him
very recently in Germany, but no
matter how hard he tried or how
adroitly he led up to the subject,
Schurz fatty refuses to talk at all,
to say what he thought Of the situa-
tlon, or to give any indication of his
views ubout the campaign.
This Is very significant, for the
reason that reticencc has never been
characteristic of Schurz. Hereto
fore he has always been a strong
and Jealous partisan, and has made
speech after speech, and written
article after article, i'm support of
the candidate whose cause he had
embraced. When he came out for
Cleveland in 1884, he was not at all
backward in letting his conversion
to mugwumpery be known; in fact,
he made himself very numerous in
that campaign, and his influence
and eloquence doubtless contributed
in no small degree to Mr., Cleve-
lands victory.
But In 1888 he is obstinately
silent. He declines TO define his
position In any way, or to express
even II desire that Cleveland may
be reelected. This cannot pass
unnoticed. A man of the ability
and facility Of language which Carl
Schurz possesses does not keep
silent without reason; and the
reason which naturally suggests
itself Is that Cleveland's violated
pledges and broken promises have.
shattered the idol, and have opened
Schurz's eyes 80 that he sees the
object OF his former admiration as
he really Is. If Schurz were still an
adherent of Cleveland he would not
hesitate to say so to the World
reporter; and as he did not we must
strike his name of the list Of the
Cleveland mugwumps.

This move, If it be a genuine one,
is significant. 1t indicates that the
confidence which the democrats
have been protesting in regard to
the result in New York is entirely
assumed and that there, as else
where, the free traders are on the
run. The republicans cannot but
feel encouraged at this attempt on
the part Of their adversaries to make
up in the West for anticipated losses
i'm the empire state. At the same
time they will not relax their efforts
i'm the least. This show of activity
in the west may be merely a ruse to
attract attention from New York,

REPUBLICAN VS. DEMO
CRATIC INTEGRITY.

The Republicans have made pro.
tectloa their platform; the Demo.
Gratis have taken free trade. Many
think the parties have thus establish
ed an issue to be determined by the
numerical strength of the advocates
of free trade or protection as the
case may be.
This might be trge did both par
ties stand with equal reputation be-
fore the American people. The
Democratic party stands as the adj
vocate of retrenchment, honesty, and
civil service reform, even to the ex.
tent of alienanting a few of its own
members who ished still TO apply
Andrew Jackson's political maxim,
TO the victors belong the spolls.
The republican is prominent as the
party that for twenty re years used
the public patronage as the means
Of retaining its power; which extort-
ed campaign funds from its subal
tcrns, and drove them into harness
with the party lash; which never
hesitated to legalizo fraud and in
justice, or to abnegate lis pledges
when self interest prompted.
The carpet bagger, the southern
agent of the Republican party lured
the new made colored citizen With
false promises Of forty acres and 9
mule. Its' rabid politicians waved
alott the bloody shirt which the,
themselves had dyed. 1t sold and
degraded the supreme bench to gain
the eight votes on the election Com
mission. The very president Of its
choice was suspected of completely
with lllioit distllery thieves.
Thus might we enumerate for
pages the fraud and violatiod Piled,
ges of this party which now asks the
independent voter to make high or
low tariff the only issue, and to ac-
cept its promises of reform and pied.

he refuses to do so? Are we surpris.

PERSONAL JOURNALISTS.

One OF the greatest blessings TO a
tree people is the liberty of the
press. 1t is absolutely necessary to
tae preservation of public rights. 1t
is the duty of :he press to keep the
people advised, to direct, to warn
them. II corruption assails the body
polite, the press should speak out.
Ii officials fail in public duty, the
press should make it known These
are slf evident trulsms, but If by
no means follows that personal a.
buse and denuncation are enioined
or even permitted to the editor. A
buse, denunclation, prove nothing
except that the mind of the editor IS
lnfamed. A public thief can accuse
the greatest saint and heap upon him
the fercest invectives. Any editor
can resort to such means, and what
does he accomplish by it1

Unworthy men have been made
strong by indiscrimlnate and con-
staut abuse being heaped on them.
1t man is unworthy, if he has done
acts IN his official capacity worthy of
rebuke these facts can surely be
pointed out and commented on. If
he has been dishonest the charge
can be sustained only by proofs of
his guilt, and to call him thief lacks
good deal Of furnishing proof.
Even in the rare instances where

bare assertion. The editor who
starts out to reform the world must
soon learn that it takes years to ae-
complish anything of importance.
