AN UNLUCKY BEoINNING.-Tbe
New York Evening Post declares
that 'the net result OF the first six
months of President Harrison's term
IS lower moral tone in politics than
the country has known since 1922
The most conspicuous Developments
OF his policy, it says, ore the course
OF tho late Pension Commissioner
Tanner, the choice by the President

to hand over the patronage Of the
government, the increase OF over 81
600 900 in the public debt during he
last third Of the six months, and the
rem val from office without cause.
Tanners course, says the Post, was
by common consent a national scan-
dal OF such serious proportions that
leaGing newspapers of the Ptesider Is
party called for Tan ner's removal as
the only thing that could save the
administration from disgrace and tho
national treasury from posi- BILE bank.

selection of political friends and a.
gents in the choice OF Quay, Plat
and Malone as tho repos itaries of
Federal patronage in their States.
the Post does not hesitate to saw that
the President is engaged with their
assistance in building up q poll ical
machine. With reference to their
increase in the public debt Of 81, 900.
uOOJ 1t points to the significant fact
that for the corresponding period OF
every one Of Preside nt Cleyeland's
four years there was an average de-
crease OF about S10.OOO,OOO.' Tn the

party, the indictment is supported

OF the public debt as compared with

shown by treasury statements and
exhibits. The Wholesale removals

THE LATE S. S Cox.-Tho death
OF the Hon. Samuel Sullivan Cox
will be universally regretted as tina,
of patriot and statesman TO whom
long experience of affairs, coupled
with answering integrity, had given
q prominent and honored place
among the public men of America
Not an old man at the time of his
death. he was yet old in service.
He was elected to Congress from
Ohio "a far back as 1856, and contin.
ued to serve in the House until 1864.
Having removed 10 New York. he
was sent back 20 Congress from that
city In 1868, and served in that
oody without intermission until he
resigned his membership in the For
ty'ninth Congress to accept the ap-
polhtmen' to Turkey. Before The
conclusion OF the Forty-ninth Con-
gress, however, he returned to this
country and was again elected to the
House. He served through the Fif-
tleth Congress and was member Of
tne rh'y'urst Congress at the time OF
his death. Mr.. Cox w<s an author as
well as statesman. His writings are
well known to the American reading
public. A sturdy democrat, be stuck
to bis principles at time when they
were less fashionable than now. His
place in his n1rty's councils was indi.
Gated by his election ns Speaker pro
tenn. OF the House in 1876, lis quick
wit and genial nature won him friends
however, on both sides Of the House,
and few members could be credited
with q wider popularity.

The LEE STATUE.-Gov. Lee, ol
Virginia, says he thinks arrange
menis will be made to unveil the Lee
equestrian statue early in December,
possibly by the 9Th. The statue is
now being cast in bronze in Paris
France. The Governor says he has
received a communication from NJ.
Bouillett, the sculptor, who is also
chief assistant to VI. Mercier, and
who has charge Of al details OF
that work, saving, for reasons given
in his note, that he thinks the statue
viii he delivered in bronze (for ship
ping) towards the end OF October.
The Governor thinks that military
companies and organizations of oil
kirds who desire to take part in the
ceremonies attending the unwilling
of the X. +. Lee statue should begin
to make their arrangements to be in
Richmond in the early part OF De-
cember. Ii is expected that associ
atoms will be present from nearly
every State in the South, and Rich.
mond will have within her limits on
that occasion more people than al
any time within her history.
