Mr.. John Fiske, in his historical work
just published, "The Beginnings of New
England" after dwelling upon the
growth and advantages of the English or
representative idea of government as
compared with the Roman or non-repre-
sentative, says: 'The inherited pre-
datory tendency to seize upon the fruits
of other peoples labor is still very strong,
and while we have nothing more to fear
from kings we may yet have trouble
enough from commercial monopolies
and favored industries marching to the
polls their hordes of bribed retainers."
These are the words, not of a poll
tician, but of a philosophical student of
history and of governmental tendencies.
They follow in line of thought having
respect to the weakness and strength of
the several forms of "nation-making"
from the earliest times to the present
First was the Oriental method, or con-
quest without incorporation. This was
mere extended slavery. Then came
the Roman method, or conquest with
incorporation but without representation.
This was an improvement on the former
and the cause of human rights was to
some extent advanced thereby, but dur
ing the many centuries it was maintained
lingers-tribute all the time was wrung
from the unconsulted masses by the
power of might.
The Roman is being supplanted by the
English method, or incorporation uih
representation, which, so far, finds its
highest development in the United
States. 1t has put aside old forms of
despotism and injustice, but, says Mr.,
| FiSke not "WithOut unremittinu watch
fulness can we be sure that the day of
peril is yet past" What if, though we
have Government representative in
form, the representation is assailed, pol
luted and robbed of its fidelity by despots
who have learned to make sceptres of
money. 1t is a trite saying, but over
flowing with truth, that eternal vigi-
lance is the price of liberty" The pre-
datory instinct is still active, and here,
clearly, is the enemy in its new shape,
and the sooner and more widely its pre-
sence is recognized the more effectually
will it be coped with.-N. Y. World.

Henry Watterson, the brilliant editor
of the Louisville C0U1ier-,j0u7Rdi and the
most representative leader of Western
and Southern Democracy, says, in a late
number of his newspaper regarding the
early presentation Of the names of Presi-
dental candidates for 1892, that "the dis
cussion of leader for 1892 seems to us
both premature and frivolous. Half a
century of American history teaches us
that three years is political generation in
a country and system such as ours
"Three years before Cleveland's nom
ination his name had not travelled fifty
miles away from the city in which he
lived, and who, three years ago, when
Benjamin Harrison lost his seat in the
Senate he had not distinguished, would
have ventured the prediction that he
would pass over the heads of Blaine,
Sherman, Allison and the rest and be-
come President of the United States ?
Facts like these battle all calculation.
They show us how idle is prophecy in
this regard. Our next President may be
hid somewhere in Il cornfield the cane
brake, or the stars. Who can tell?"
The names of Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Hill are those which are still solely men
toned by the Eastern press for the
Democratic nomination. The Demo-
cracy of the West and South seem to be
unanimous for the ex-President, and the
North and East nearly so. As for the
West, it does not like Governor Hill,
and its leading Democratic journals ex-
press the general sentiment that he
cannot be the candidate of his party in
1892. Respecting the proposition tc
nominate him the st. Louis Republic, one
of the most radical of Western Demo
cratic journals, says:
This is the year to tell the truth about
David Bennett Hill, one of the most
Ignorant, narrow and unscrupulous pot
house politicians who even pretended tc
be Democrat or knitted Democratic
ticket. He is not honest enough to be
reputable, and he has not brains enough
to conceal the traces of his subterranean
work -

IN eager, sincere terms, Jne nephew
began to explain his absence the night
before.
81 entirely missed learning of the
accident" he said. simply.
~ see you have your paper" said
his uncle, glancing at the ample sheet
in his nephew's hands.
Yes; I've just been in to pay my
subscription"
"And I'm going in to renew mine;
wait bit, Archie, and we'll go to din
ner together"
True to the latent manliness of his
nature, Mr.. Archibald Wise told the
whole story to his wife that night, and
added what seemed redeeming con-
fession; he said:
'Why is it man seems possessed to
persist in a resolve he knows is only
damaging and hazardous simply be-
cause he is determined to do SOP |
can't tell; | only know I'm done with
trying to economize in such costly
way as | discover is involved in doing
without my valuable paper"
A few years later, when Uncle Eras-
tus' will was opened, it was found that
Herbert's Wise's prejudicial hints had
not injured his cousin in the least. For
besides stubbornly apportioning large
sum to the city hospital, of which he
had long been the senior visiting ply
sician, the old doctor had further de-
monstrated the contrariness of human
nature by leavingt to his nephew, Archi-
bald Wise, twice as much money as
he left his more ambitious cousin,
Herbert, who unconsciously displeased
his good uncle by base yet perfectly
truthful insinuation, only its truthful
ness was fortunately concealed. .-Har-

A COMPLAINING contemporary, com
menting upon the refusal of the ad-
ministration to give reasons for the
removal of Chief Justice Sandford,
quotes the following passage from a
speech made by Harrison in the
Senate in 1856:
I do lift up a hearty prayer that We
may never have a President who will
not either pursue and compel his cabinet
advisers TO pursue the civil service policy
pure and simple and upon just basis
allowing men accused to be heard, and
deciding against them only upon compe
tent proof and fairly-either have that
kind of civil service or, for Gods sake,
let us have that other frank and bold, il
brutal, method of turning men and
women out simply for political reasons.
Let us have one or the other.
Well, what would you have? Is
not Harrison giving us the "other''
kind of civil service policy, 'franll and
bold, if brutal, in full measure? The
frankness is a trifle weak -kneed per
haps, but there can be no doubt as tc
the boldness and brutality of the
things done by this administration.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, in referring
to the accident at Plymouth last week by
which four lives were lost says that the
law providing for examination of men
employed in coal mines was not enacted
any too soon, as was shown at the Not
tingham mine, at Plymouth, last week.
A number of Polish miners, so utterly
incompetent that they did not know the
meaning of danger sign, not only walk
ed past the warning, but removed it, so
that more intelligent men who might
have escaped were led into the trap. 1t
was providential that the disaster oc-
CURED when but few men were in the
mine; otherwise the loss of life would
have been much greater than it was.
One would think that mine owners would
fear to risk their property in the hands
OF such incompetent men, but they seem
to look only at the cheapness of this
class Of labor and pay no attention to the
danger that goes with it.

STRIKING workmen in Europe mani
fest a tierceness and savageness which
is not shown by Americans, even
under circumstances of greatest excite
ment Some silver miners on strike
in the Ural mountains, Russia, set fire
to the houses of the managers and to
a number of factories, and seven per-
sons were burned to death. These
men in their blind rage doubtless
thought they We're getting revenge
for years Of oppression and wrong;
but they We're wide of the mark.
Killing few mine managers and
burning factories will not remedy the
trouble, while it will bring on those
guilty of these acts the condemnation
of Christendom, in addition to the
severe punishment of the law.

OKLAHOMA is a typical American
city. 1t is less than two months old
and announces a grand celebration of
the Fourth of July, which a commit
tee has been appointed to conduct.
Excursion trains are to be run to the
new city, and the committee conf
IDENTIFY announces that 10000 stran-
gers will visit the place. A great deal
of this is Western brag, but it will
have its effect, and the spectators

a fine opportunity to bring sight-seers
and investors to the new city.

The Lehigh Valley VIII Probably Win.

The New York Mining aad Engineerjng
J0mWdt says there is considerable dis
cussion now in the trade concerning the
probable decision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the Coke case.
and, though, of course, no official infor-
nation has been given as how the deci-
sion will go, yet the feeling is becoming
rather prevalent that it will not be
against the railroad company; at least,
those who are supposed to have the
largest interests at stake among the
transporting companies are acting as
though quite satisfied on this point.
Certainly the interests involved are
enormous, and the commission will, no
doubt give the matter the most careful
consideration before arriving at deci-
sion. The case has in no manner affec-
yea the market either for present or
future deliveries.

CERTAIN politicians, who thought
they were going to grow Presidential
timber when they planted David Ben
nett Hii!l on the ruins of the Presiden-
tial campaign in New York last fall,
are finding out that treachery is a
poor fertilizer. While Gov. Hills
friends in Albany are vindicating the
purity Of his motives and the honesty
of his purpose, the moulders of Demo
cratic opinion througout the country
have carefully weighed his case and
come to the conclusion that Gov. Hill
is not the man to lead the Democratic
battle in 1S92.-St. Louis Republic.
Quite correct. Democracy wants no
ballot reform vetoer as a leader.

Nothing could be better calculated to
cast discredit on our entire pension
system than the spirit in which man
like Tanner comes to its administration.
And surely nothing could be better cal
culated to humiliate self-respecting vet
Grams of the war than the prominence
given by the aid of the Grand Army of
the Republic to blatherskite and trick
ster like the present Commissioner of
Pensions. If Mr.. Cleveland blundered
in treating with scant courtesy the claims
made on behalf of disabled veterans of
the war, Mr.. Harrison will blunder still
more seriously if he thinks that the
country will stand any such reckless
squandering of public money on all who
have the ghost of a claim for a pension
as Tanner and his associates seem pre-
pared to sanction. That since 1865 the
pension list should have grown from SS,-
100000 to $S0,000,000 is a sufficiently
suggestive fact without adoptinga scheme
of payment under which the expenditure
would continue to grow with the lessen
ing of the numbers of the survivors of
the war, and which would result in
saddling the next generation with an
elaborate system of making paupers-
