THE posTAL.sEavIoB DISGRACE.

The New York Post acknowledges that the
condition of the Philadelphia postofics must
be regarded as blot on President Cleveland's
administration, and also a great political
blunder. The disregard of the civil-service
laws in its management has gained him moth
ing, but "what it will it do" says the Post,
'is to lose him good many votes among peo-
pie who supported him four years ago on &C
count of the enemies he had made, and who
outnumber the federal oficeholders twenty
fold" If the transformation of this one Office
into political machine is to be regarded as a
blot, what is to be said Of the entire postal
Department. From Washington to the re-
hottest hamlet, the business of handling the
mails has been put into the hands of men
chosen for their party services and without re-
gard to intelligence or fitness. As re-
suit the service has deteriorated to such
q degree that business men decline to intrust
important letters to the mails or do so with
misgivings and at risk of loss. If the Phil
adeipnla postomce - blot, the service as q
whole is disgrace 80 great as to overshadow
any claims to respect that the administration
may have had. The public might be able TO
forgive hypocrisy and failure to carry out
promises of reform; but when the hypocrisy
involves an interference with its own rights
and privileges, and means the injury of
postal system which approached perfection
under former management, the indignation is
likely to be manifested at the polls. II, as the
Post says, many voters will decline to support
him because of failure to enforce the law IN
one case, many more will desert him because
they have been victimized by his spoils policy.

Mr. ROBT. Z. LINCOLN. of Illinois, has long
been regarded with much favor as presiien-
tial possibility in many quarters, and the dis
appearance Of his name from the list of candi-
dates is attracting attention. The conclusion
of such observers as the Boston Advertiser
and the Springfield Republican is that the
Gresham boom has been built up by the
friends of Blaine, for the purpose of prevent
ing the popular demand for Lincoln from tax
ing shape 1t is thought that the Blaine men
prefer to allow his opponents to ''play with
this Gresham toy" rather than to rally around
Lincoln, and organize a movement that might
easily become formidable. These Eastern
students Of the situation are not the first to
suspect that the Chicago promoters of the
Gresham boom are insincere in their profess
sions-many indications point that way-but
it is wrong to charge all their followers with
hypocrisy. Many of these have accepted the
Chicago Tribune's assertions in good faith
and, without a thought that they were being
used to assist the chances of q candidate to
whom they object, rallied around the Gresham
standard in all earnestness The awakening
of these deluded persons is likely to be pain
full, but they cannot say that they were un-
warned

SENATOR EUsTIs, of Louisiana, said in his
speech replying to Mr.. Ingalls,:
''Sir, do not mean to suggest that we
should take the ballot away from the negro,
but we should prevent him from casting that
ballot If we can do it by persuasion, as l said
a moment ago, using phrase Of Mr.. Glad
stone, by all the resources of civilization, to
persuade him to desist from committing the
government of the State to men who are not
capable of administering it."
Mr.. Gladstone was charged with referring
to assassination and dynamite when he spoke
of '4he resources of civilization;" and Mr.
Eustis evidently classes under that phrase
the murders, frauds, forgeries, intimidations
and crimes that have marked the record of
Louisiana and other Southern States. 1t is
not a question of negro domination, or of
committing the government of the State to
men not capable of administering it. Every
man knows that to be q mere pretext 1t is a
question whether men shall hold the Office of
President of the United States, and of
Senators of the United States, and whether a
majority of the House of Representatives
and the policy of the government shall be
determined, by murder and crime. And that
question will not down or be settled by the
brazen effrontery of men who are in enjoy
ment of the bloody and felonious usufruct.

The time has come when the travelling men
of indianapolis should unite in helping to
boom the city. Let those boom now who
never did before, and those who used to boom
now boom the more. A city is judged largely
by the way its people talk when they are
away from home. The talk of its travelling
people helps to make its reputation. If de-

The convention showed its wisdom in leaving
its delegates wholly unpledeed. AS was sue-
gested, no one can assume to say that Blaine
can DO persuaded TO accept the nomination; and
as to the other candidates, the interests Of the
State are perfectly safe in the hands of the
delegation, and It would have been unwise in
the extrsme to have hampsred them in any way.
Except for Blaine there is no public sentiment
In California, and il would have been presump-
tuous for State convention to attempt to COM
NIT delegation TO any particular candidate
when the people Of the State have not made NJ
their minds.
