Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-03-06

As THE Harrison administration takes up its labors and the management of the country's interests, the people of Water
 bury are looking for the wonderful boom in business that was promised them by certain manufacturers of the city last fall in case of republican success. It is a fact that ever since Harrison's election times have been getting harder in Water bury, and good many of the working people are finding it difficult to make both ends meet. Business men are com blaming, and many of the merchants who are forced to give credit cannot make collections and are at their wits ends to meet their own obligations. Bradstreets reports lon the whole a somewhat less encouraging condition of general trade" which is exactly what the manufacturers pretended in their scare circular would be the result of democratic victory. But now the boot is on the other leg, and it is incumbent on the manufacturers to explain why business is-dull. One thing, however, is certain, that whatever little stock may have been taken in the scare circulars of the past, there will be little powder in this kind of ammunition in future.

HARRISON,S CABINET.

The official announ cement made no from that which was published in our columns on Monday. But it has probably put dash or two more to the blue streaks in the republican camp. There is more dissatisfaction to the square inch in the republican party to-day than has been known since the day when President Garfield handed over the care of his administration to the man that President Harrison has now crowned his premier.
 The selection of James G. Blaine for secretary of state, though probably dis tasteful to President Harrison, was inevi- table. There is no man in the republican party, and there has been no American since Henry Clay, that has larger per sonal following, and yet no man in the ranks that has larger force of enemies, than the man to whom the people refus- ed to commit the destinies of the nation four years ago. President Harrison had to promise to make him his secretary of state, else Blaine and his friends would never have allowed him to be elected president When the two men met at Harrisons home in Indianapolis last fall the compact was made, and the very fact that they did not meet since the election until last week in Washing ton where Blaine took up his quarters two months ago is proof that the latter felt perfectly easy about thu bargain. Had Harrison failed of his agreement the Blaine men would have wrecked his administration from the start. That the American people are distrustful of Blaine-distrustfu of his purposes, suspicious of his jingoism and diffident of his personal integrity-will not tend to make them more hopeful of good results for President Harrison's ad- ministration. They remember the days of 16S1-the guano swindles and the stalwart feud that created Guiteau- and they would have felt better satis- fled if James G. Blaine had been left to mediate, under his own fine and fig

WOE TO THE MUGWUMPS.

The mugwumps have taken in a reef. Remembering President Harrison's rec ord they can read between the lines of his utterances on civil service reform and see there not a declaration of in- tention to perpetuate the humbug, but simply an intimation to the spells hun ters that they must come at him slow and not smother him at the start A man who found in Wanamakers $400,- 900 campaign contribution honorable party service" is not likely to stick for any higher grade of service when it comes to the minor places.
 The fact is that democrats will have to step down to make room for the fel lows who rendered honorable party service according to the standard set up by the presidents recognition of Wana- maker. No matter how ardently repub- ican papers preached civil service re- form during the Cleveland regime, no matter how much republican orators gushed about it's beauties when it seemed likely that Cleveland would be re-elec- ted, it is quite noticeable that they are now ready to agree with President liar rison that ''it is entirely creditable to seek public office" and that honorable party service' will be one of the prime qualifications for appointment. It needs no prophet to foresee that under Harri- son, surrounded as he will be by such democrat-loving chaps as Blaine and Windom and Wanamaker, the civil ser vice will be very far removed from that ideal condition which is the impossible dream of the mug wumps. Harrison is no friend of civil service reform-his record as a senator shows that, his reported in- tention to leave local appointments in the hands of senators and congressman confirms it, and his assertion that he is ''sure the civil service cannot be put on non-partisan basis until we have secured an incumbency that fair-minded men of the opposition will approve" is proof unassailable that he is not going to attempt the impossible task of bolster ing up the Chinese abortion. When he secures an incumbency that fair-minde d men of the opposition will approve President Harrison may look out for squalls in the ranks of his own party. Republican leaders have never troubled themselves about winning the approval of the opposition, and if anybody thinks President Harrison is going to make the innovation he is very much mistaken.
 Democratic officehold ers will have to go. Some of them may hold on for a little while, simply because the broom isn't long enough to sweep them out as fast as Ingalls, and nine-tenths of the re- publicans would like, but they will have to go. President Harrison isn't going into the mugwump business, and of this retrospect will be safer basis of iudg- ment than promises" When he steps down and out and hands the reins of government over to democratic presi- dent in 1899 the best legacy he can leave to his successor is the continued assur-

THERE is a growing suspicion-and it is not wholly groundless-thatt the death of Prof Mcguire, the partner of Pigott in his attempt to destroy Parnell, is traceable to his own hand. This Pro Mcguire was the man who wrote three years ago what is known as "the bloody thumb-mark pamphlet" in which the ladies of the Land league were de- scribed as a historical counterpart of the association of harlots which was so ac- tive in Paris during the French revolu- tion. He was allied with Pigott, and suddenly died. The doctors said he choked to death. Possibly he may have assisted the operation.

tree at Augusta, on the suspicion and mistrust in which he is held by the greater part of this great nation. The selection of Blaine was mistake, and we think it will not be many weeks be fore President Harrison will repent him. self of inc circumstances that forced him to it.
 But if Blaine's selection was blunder, Windom's was little short of stupidity. A man without state to own him Minnesota rejects him, New York re- pudiates him-who has been mixed up in recent years with all sorts of wild cat schemes, financial bubbles and suspicious speculations, the American people must lose confidence and hope in the man who would choose him for an adviser and custodian of the nations finances. The one thing creditable about this appointment is that nobody urged 1t so far as known. Wall street may re- joice in the selection of William Windom, but the nation is not prone to regard the favorites of Wall street as the best men to guard the treasury of the nation. And with Levi P. Morton in the line of possible succ ession to the pres idency-a man whom 1ngalls dubbed ..one of those fellows with pull on Wall street.-the money sharks are likely to have an influence at Washing ton that bodes no good to the country Windom is worthy compeer and asso- ciate of Blaine, and both are discredlta- ble to the man and the party that foisted them on the country.
 As for the others in the cabinet, they call for no special mention since they are simply non-entities chosen probablys, for the reason that nobody knows them and nobody cares for them, unless per haps it might be Wanamaker who intro duced and endeared himself to the re- publicans by the magnificent campaign contribution with which his name will be eternally associated. He bought his honors. and according to his business creed he has right to anything he has the funds to purchase. 1t is the first l time, and true Americans will hope It will be the last, that cabinet places have been up for sale in this country.
 When we look over the list of Presl- dent Harrison's cabinet and consider the reasons that underlie their selection, can we wonder that such men as Sher- man and Hawley and Evarts and Hoar are disgusted? Can we wonder that the cabinet is received with coldness and contempt on every hand, and that Presi- dent Harrison is believed to have laid up for himself store of wrath and opposi- ton for the next four years? It could not be otherwise. It is the weakest cab met, taken in its entirety, that was ever written down in American history, and reflects no credit on President Harrison or the republican party. There is but one figure that stands out prominently and that one is enveloped in a mist of suspicion and distrust that neither time nor repentance can clear away. An ad- ministration that is turned over to James
 G. Blaine, as President Har1ison's has
 been, can never be success.
