THE president accompanied the RE-
port of the civil service commission by q
message of his own, which was sent to
congress Yesterday. He keeps up his
old game of platitudes on the subject
and tries very hard to give the impress
ion that he is earnestly in favor Of real
reform and has been trying to carry It
out. He can save his crocodile tears
and groans. The people of the country
do not need him to tell them about the
civil service reform that has been
brought about. They are able TO see
and Judge for themselves, and they know
that the doctrine that to the victors be-
long the spoils never had more faithful
follower than Grover Cleveland. To be
sure he has introduced innovations such
as Offensive craftsmanship" removal
for causeH)' and the Villas circular to
congressman telling them how to pre-
pare cases for the removal Of Republi-
cans, but all Of these methods only made
the perfidy of his course the deeper and
more strongly sealed the condemnation
of the people. After three years Of this
alleged reform the people find the post
Offices and other places filed with Dem
ocrats who were put there In reward for
services rendered as ward politicians.
This is by no means all Of the features Of
the affair, but 1t is enough to prevent
anybody from being deceived by Cleye-
lands prating over civil service reform.
The reform speaks loud enough for It.

The session of the interstate commerce
commission going on at Dubuque is a
very important one. The question at
issue is whether the Chicago, st. Paul &
Kansas City railway shall be allowed to
violate the long and short haul principle
in favor of Minneapolis and st. Paul.
Last spring the Burlington road put IN
force a low 30-cent rate, Chicago to the
twin cities. The Kansas City road
claims if it does not meet this rate it
must abandon all through business and
fail to pay expenses. If, on the other
hand. it does meet it, and has to reduce
local rates proportionately, it will still
not be able to pay expenses. 1t asks to
be allowed to make low through rate to
meet the Burlington, still keeping local
rates up to high figures. If not allowed
to do 30 it,claims it will have to go out of
business or something like it. The ar
guments were commenced yesterday.
High officials of all the Western roads
are present, as well as business men who
are interested.

THE Southern Chautauqua proposed
to invite Speaker Carlisle and Congress
man Mckinley TO deliver addresses be-
fore the assembly, but Congressman
Stewart, Of Georgia, who was asked to
deliver the invitation, declined to in
clude Mckinley, giving as his excuse
that he did not think it best to invite Re-
publicans to address the people of the
South. "He would not agree with us
and his presence would be sure to stir
up ill-feeling and strife. We have moth
ing against Mr.. Mckinley personally,
but we don't want any Republicans in
our country" What would be thought
of an Northerner who would express
such a sentiment toward the South 2 II
is the presence of such fellows as this
Stewart in the South which keeps that
part of the country in such bad repute.
The sooner the South repudiates such
talk the better it will be for its interests
in every way

The chairman of the Anti-Saloon Re-
publican committee, which presented
the temperance plank incorporated in
the Republican platform, has issued a
circular earnestly urging all temperance
Republicans not to desert to third
party but to stand by Harrison and
Morton, and the party that showed its
temperance sentiment by nominating
"the most pronounced temperance can
didate in the field, by disappearing of
the one national law that gives aid and
comfort to the whisky ring, and by al
most unanimously putting in the plat
form plank unequivocally avowing the
sympathy of the Republican party of
the entire nation with the temperance
cause"

TIE row between Anes and Doran is

THE row between Anes and Doran is
again on and will not be likely TO SUBJ
side until one or the other OF the COM
batants is laid out in the convention. 1t
seems folly for Ames to suppose he can
secure the gubernatorial nomination in
opposition to Doran's wishes, but the
Minneapolis doctor has very exalted
opinion of his own abilities, and it will
take several good trouncings to cure him
of the idea that he is very big 'un.
The fuss Is being well aired in the pa
pers by means of personal interviews
and innuendoes from this and that
prominent Democrat" It will result
in the election offs Republican governor
by an immense majority.

In THE Senate Tuesday Mr.. Davis
took occasion to justify the action of the
pension committee in reporting the bill
to pension Mrs. Doherty, which bill the
president had vetoed, charging the COM
mittee with "remlssness and careless
ness" in passing it. Those who know
the senator scarcely need to be
reminded of the fact that when he
passes upon any case others will find
little to do by way Of perfecting evil
dence. Hence Tuesday when Senator
Cockrell made the assault on him, &C
cusing the committee Of acting upon un-
reliable evidence, and daring him to
make a report recommending the pass
age of the bill on the ground that Mary
Ann Doherty had been injured BY an
explosion while an employee of the gov
eminent, he produced and read GER
tiicate from the proper officer to the
effect that she had been employed and
injured as the committee stated; not
only this, but he showed to what low
depths even president OF the United
States may crowd his efforts to obtain
evidence upon which to base q veto.
President Cleveland had asserted that
Daniel Doherty was receiving pension
in his own right. There was not word
of truth in the statement. On the con-
trary, the very records in the pension
Office which his emissaries had taken 30
much pains to search and report upon
showed that Doherty's claim for PEN
sion had been rejected. Senator Davis
uses cutting sarcasm when dealing with
Democratic absurdities Of this character,
that Washington correspondents say can
only be appreciated by those who hear
it as he hurls it at those who deserve it.
If President Cleveland knows when he
is well off he will take care not to court
any further attention from the Mime
sofa senator.

THE Minneapolis Tribune speaks these
justly and complimentary terms of Mr..
Lind:
Mr.. John Lind is candidate for re-
election to congress in the Second Min
nesota district, and voted "no" upon
the final passage of the Mills Dill. He
did right, and his constituents will see
to it that this conscientious act of their
intelligent young representative is not
permitted 10 initiate against him IN the
present campaign. The Mills bill was
monstrosity, and if Mr.. Lind had allow
ed himself to be cajoled or bulldozed in
to supporting it, he would have proved
himself unworthy of the high confidence
which his party friends in Minnesota
have placed in his courage and his in
tegrity. Mr.. Lind will be reelected to
congress in 1888, and if he will continue
to exercise the same manly courage and
good sense which have characterized
his actions during his first term no one
can fix the limit of his usefulness in the
future. The Tribune, in paying this
tribute to the value of Mr.. John Lind,
only gives voice to the thought and feel
ing of large majority of the people OF
Minnesota.

THE DEMOCRATIC RECORD.


The eloquent Mr.. Rand, who recently
Grated at q Democratic meeting in this
city, dwelt al some length upon the
beauties Of President Cleveland's civil
service reform record. The purity and
high character OF the appointees under
the present administration so entranced
the gentleman that he omitted in fact to
give any instances as illustrating the gen.
eralities in which he INDUCED, but of
course the audience knew Democratic
stump speaker would not state anything
which was not in accordance with the
facts. The N. Y. Tribune, however, has
recently been paying some attention to
Mr.. Cleveland's record in the matter Of
appointments, and its findings do not
entirely agree with those of Mr.. Rand,
and are otvery edifying to the few men,
bers of Democracy and Mugwumpery
who really desire reform and are delu-
ded into believing that Mr.. Cleveland is
in sympathy with them.
The testimony set forth by the Tribune
IL derived from 1,045 editorials, dis
patches, and news items, of which more
than three-fourths are of Democratic or
igin. This Is trying mans case by ju-
rors Of his own choosing. The Tribune
shows that the law has been directly Vi
olated in seventeen cases by appoint
ments, in seven by removals, that it has
been indirectly but purposely violated
in sixty-five other removals, in all OF
which cases names are given. 1t has
also been violated in 3S6 cases of appoint.
ments and removals in which the names
of the persons appointed or removed are
not given. Acts of offensive partisan
ship are specified against l51 officials o.
the Presidents appointment, and nu
merous other well founded but les
clearly specified charges are made.
OF the seven Territorial judges ap
pointed by the President three have
been retired for misconduct. One wa
subject to charges so susceptible Of proc
that the Senate refused to confirm him
From the list of the names of appoint
ees to other offices those of two murder
ers and two accessories in murder art
dwelt upon. Five noted duelists ant
rioters, one Of them made judge of TIT
very court by which he had been i'm
prisoned, are mentioned. Five person
who had been indicted or convicted o
revenue frauds have been made reve
nue. officers. One jury fixer, one pro
fessional dead-beat, one attorney guilt,
of defrauding clients, and one lawye
who was inventor of plan for defeat
ing justice on behalf of certain robbers
were elevated to the bench. An i'm
peached State Treasurer, seven forgerE
several defaulting town and county treas
urers, many keepers of gambling houses
discharged policemen, a fellow VIII
robbed church; in fact, experts IN a
the crimes and villanies have been az
pointed, and in most instances retained
by Mr.. Cleveland.
This terrific record of less than fou
years of Democratic rule is In strang
contrast to that threatened "openIng c
the books" which has left the Republi
can party untainted by near quarter c
century of patronage.

THERE are very important differences
of opinion among the Republicans Of the
senate as to the proper course to be pur-
sued in the matter of the tariff. There
are three sets of opinions. Some of the
senators believe that the proper thing to
do is to leave the Mills bill in the senate
committee on finance where 1t now is
and to make no report on it until next
winter. The second opinion is that the
most polite thing to do Is to perfect the
bill upon which the subcommittee of the
senate finance committee have been 30
long engaged, report it to the senate, de-
bate it for a short time to show the diff
ference between it and the Mills bill
and then adjourn, leaving both the Mills
bills and the senate substitute Enacted
upon. The third proposition ID to per-
feet the tariff bill of the subcommittee,
report it to the senate, debate il and pass
it, and send the two bills to the confer
ence committees and then to adjourn
and leave the issue in dispute to con-
ference committee which it is to be as
sumed would not agree. There are sew
eral reasons advanced for each Of these
three propositions. Until within few
days the most influential and active men
in the senate have assumed that tariff
bill was to be reported from the finance
committee, and at least debated and
probably passed, but within few days
there has been very noticeable effect
on the part of those who do not think
that the course would be wise to have
one of the two other plans indicated
adopted as the party plan.
1t seems certain that it would be I'M
fortunate for the senate to adjourn with
out putting forth some bill as indicating
the Republican policy on the matter of
revenue reduction. The senate subcom-
mittee's bill is said to be nearly compile
ted and it would seem to be the best
plan to have it reported, even II it has
to be considered in q caucus previously.
The provisions of this bill are said to in
clude reduction of SIS, 0O0, 900 on sugar,
$50 ,000, 900 on tobacco and commercial
spirits and $1S, OOO, 900 on the tariff sched-
ule and by increase of the free list. This
would make reduction of So, 0O0. 900 in
the annual revenue, and while 1t would
effect no industry would maze q show
ing of reduced taxation which would
wholly discount the Mills bill, whose adj
vocates are not themselves prepared to
assert that it would reduce the revenues
to any extent.
