The history Of the country for the last thirty
wears would have been different il, the Demo-
cratic party had been led by persons having the
modclm Of shIewdness exhibited by "Thc
Boston POST in discussing the prospect Of an
extra session. That journal perceiyes that a
desperate struggle by Democrats to prevent
legislation desired by majority of the House
can have no effect except to discredit the
party engaging in it." Mr. RandaiPS intention
TO fight from the outset to prevent change Of
the rules, in order that the minority may be the
better able to cripple the majority that paper
denounces as playing into the hands Of Repub-
leans, and II says: after the inevitable de-
feat with the Republican majority reinforced
by the members from the new States, Mr.. Ran

rrv ryrrr srRnJcE COMMISSION.


The Civil Service Commission Is doing ad-
mirable work. It's report upon the methods
governing the examinations in the Newly ork
Custom House under the late Democratic Adj
ministration breathes honesty and sincerity IN
every line, and is an assurance that so long az
the present Commission remains in Office the
law will be administered not only in good faith
but with yigor. The recommendation oil the
entire Commission that two clerks Implicated
IN the recent disclosures be removed, and OF
two of the Commissioners that still another be
dropped and the announcement that the case
OF one will be presented to the United States
Attorney for this district with view to Grim
lnal prosecution, will have a most excellent
effect II is time the truth that the civil SER
vice law Is as much law to be obeyed AZ the
statutes against larceny or fraud was broughe
home to large class of politicians, some Of
whom are, perhaps, TO be found in the Repub-
lican party, but vast majority of whom, every
fair minded observer will admit, are embraced
within the ranks Of the Democracy. The Civil

pcctcd that measure could be enacted so per-
feet in all it's details that amendments would
not be required. The contention that Connecd-
cut should wait and witness the operation OF the
laws passed by other States is not sound, since
the same principle applied elsewhere would have
prevented the enactment Of any ballot-reform
measures. The House passed the bill over the
veto by vote of III to 80, but then out OF
courtesy to the Governor reconSdered l'S
action. The final passage of the bill is scarce
lY doubtful.

dali would be found, as in the last Congress,
voting with the Republicans on the esSenuN
questions of public policy on which there IS
division of parties" That is not just TO Mr..
pandau. but 1.-THE POST adds with reason
at is not the part Of those who oppose the
nresent regime to give them aid by acting the
roIo assigned them in this farce of legislation"
Among the physically blind the one-eyed is
king. But among the mentally or morally
blind the rule appears to be just the contrary
the blndest and most stupid gets most favor
able hearing, and in the end does the ruling.
The Democratic party is an Institution dlherng
from most others in that it is ruled by its
lower elements. Accordingly, it advances back
ward and downward. For thirty years its pol
lev at every emergency has been shaped by the
mon who had least comprehension Of public
necessity, or of the wishes of the people The
chances are enormous that it Will sustain It's
own record, and will not miss an opportunity
to make suicidal hlunder
OF course, the advice Of 1.-THE Boston POST
is wise. II starts with recognition OF the TACT
that the people, having chosen Republcan
Congress and President want legislation ana
other action in the direction proposed by Ike
pubhcans, and will only be rendered more IN
tensely hostile to any party which, resentlng
and resisting its popular defeat, attempts to
deprive the people Of their right to govern them
selves. If Mr.. Randall could succeed, If no
could enable the minority to keep power enough
TO prevent any legislation desired by Repub-
lican voters, the only possible result would be
larger Republican majority in the next Con-
gross. II tariff revision in harmony with the
protective policy is defeated next winter there
will be found room under the sod, politically
speaking, for about twenty Democrats who
have been returned to this Congress. Constit-
uents will take care that obstructiOnists vanish
from public life. II legislation TO insure free
dom and honesty Of elections is prevented, that
issue will remain open; that demand Of the
people will also he intensified by resistance and
Northern apologists for Southern fraud and
crime will one by one be requested to stay at
home.
The Democratic party has not sense enough
10 take such advice az this. II is sound and
wise advice, and that is the trouble. To APP
prociate il, Representatives must have some
comprehension Of the public temper and of the
| wishes Of the people. Southern Democrats, for
instance must first comprehend that mining
and manufactures mean death TO a free-trade
party. Northern Democrats must comprehend
| that American citizens thoroughly believe in
free and honest elec tions, and will not tolerate
| a party which deliberately undertakes to rob
| the people Of their right TO govern themselves.
| Because the Democratic party is incapable OF
| understanding these things, and is governed
instead by it's passions and prciudices, the lead
ers who propose 4 senSelcss fight are toIerably
sure TO have their own way. And so the party
| will 90 backward and downward as usual.

There are so few relieving features in the
dark picture of the Conemaugh Valley disaster
that any statistics tending to show that the loss
of life has been oyerstated will be gladly well
coined. According to our correspondents dis
patches this morning, after making liberal esti-
mates as to the number of bodies still under the
wreckage and scattered along the river, the
total will not exceed 5000. That is an appall-
ing number, but it falls far short of many Of
the estimates. The exact number of victims

TO expect sincerity or consistency in DAVID
8. Hill would be to expect the impossible.
But such lamentable exhibition Of incon-
sistency as he gave in an appointment made
yesterday shows that he is either lacking IN
shrewdness or has very short memory indeed
In 1887 and 1888 the Governor strenuousiy
urged in his messages the abolition of the ONCE
of State Agent for Discharged Convicts. The
Legislature this year passed bill to that effect
and the bill is now in Mr.. Hills hands. In
stead of making it law the Governor has APP
pointed TO the Office henchman Of Edward
Murphy's, apparently for the sole reason that he
desires Murphy's goodwill and wished to pla-
cate him. This is peanut politics of the par
ticulsr variety to which Governor Hill is fond
Of giving the stamp Of his approval.
