Montana.s Surprise.

MOmuam0'S surprise.
The news that the local elections
in Montana show decided inclina-
ton in that embryo State to return
to its Democratic allegiance is pain
full surprise to the Republican states
men.
Last year, for the first time since
its organization as Territory, Mon
tana returned Republican MAORI
ty. 1t elected Republican Dele
gate to Congress by over 5000 ma
jority. Encouraged by this sign of
loyalty" as that quality is inter-
peted by Messrs. Hoar, Ingalls,, Bou-
telle and Reed, the Republicans in
Congress grudgingly concede place
to Montana among the incoming new
States. They have been counting
on two Senators from this State to
rivet their hold on the upper house
ofCongress. Russell Harrison made
Montana the field of his journalistic
enterprise and there cast his politi-
cal anchor to windward. The offices
in the new State have been placed
where it was supposed they would
do the most good and the patronage
has been distributed with careful
hand.
And after all this the Montana
towns roll up Democratic majorities
in the good old fashion. What is
the meaning of thisp Can it be that
the astute Republicans in Washing
ton counted their chickens before
they we're fully Matched? 1t looks
very much that way, The Demo
cratic party never did know when it
was whipped and has always dis
played provoking amount of activi-
ty at the very hour set for its funeral.

The attitude Of the present admin
istration toward the reform or the
civil service inangurarcd by the
Pendleton Law, al indicated W the
acts Of prominent oMcials, is filing
the friends bf that reform with ap-
prehension and gloom. Under the
Cleveland administration great pro-
gress was made in applying and cx-
tending the reform, and 1t was hoped,
in view of the sentiments expressed
in President Harrison's inaugural
address and Ia the platform on
which he was elected, that Mr.. Har-
rison would do as much to improve
upon Mr.. Cleveland's administration
of the civil-service law AZ Mr..
Cleveland had done to improve upon
Mr.. Arthur's administration Of 1t.
The Smr, which was the iirst leading
journal in the country to advocate
the passage Of the law, and has ever
been Its truest friend, still entertains
the hope that the progress Of the re-
form will be continuous and unbro-
ken, until the civil service Of the
country, composed equally of Repub-
licans and Democrats, will be Who'll
ly divorced from politics. As the
two great parties about equally d.
vide the population of the country,
impartial justice demands, under a
fair system, that the benefits and in
fiuence Of ofiicehoIding should be d.
vided with an approximation to
equality. Such a division would
come in the course of time by the
operation of natural causes, without
the interference of spoilsmen, II the
principle Of making open competitive
examinations the door to office were
rigidly enforced. The Sun has ac-
cordingly held that the $1,000 per-
sons subject to the law who were in
Office when the law took effect should
nave their fitness tested by the same
examinations employed to test the
fitness of new candidates for appoint
ment. Thus would be secured both
the explicit object of the law, which
is to have the service composd only
of persons of proved fitness, and the
just result Of having the service rep
resent in fair proportion all the diff
ferent shades Of political opinion in
the country. This view of the mat
ter was not, however. Mr.. Cleveland q
view, and at the close of his term
the number of Republicans in Fed
eral offices at Washington was vast
ly greater than the number of Dem
ocrats. The latter had entered the
service through examinations open
to Republicans and Democrats alike
Their fitness was approved by the
only test known to the law. Tkeil
moral and legal claim to retention
in Office on a change of administra-
tion was therefore much stronger
than that of the 1900 unexamined
persons whom Mr.. Cleveland retain.

The Pension List.

Criticism of Commissioner Tan.
nes's scheme to pension every body
is received by the surplus spenders
and vote catchers as hostility to the
Union soldiers"
1t is not hostility but true regard
for honorable veterans to wish to
keep the pension list roll of honor.
That list will be anything but roll
of honor when the bummers and
shirks are given an equal place upon
it with the brave and faithful SOL
diers, and when the able bodied and
prosperous share the nations bounty
with the disabled and the depend
ent.
1t is said, in one of the true words
spoken in jest, that Corporal Tan
ner will do his best to make the next
war popular" Yes, with mercena-
ries. To pension everybody who
volunteered is to make lost virtue
of patriotism. To induce men to en-
list, not in defence of their country
but in the hope of getting life-sup-
port at the country's expense, is to
degrade citizenship to a Hessian
basis.
The country should be and has
been liberal and generous without
stint in its care of wounded, disa-
bled and enfeebled soldiers. A pen
sion list of $S7, 100000 year is at
once testimony and warning. To
swell it further by the reckless legis-
lation proposed would be an equal
injustice to self-respecting veterans
and to the over burdened taxpayers.

That the demonstration to be
made in New York next Tuesday,
the occasion of the celebration of the
Inauguration of President Washing
ton is to be a superlatively grand
event is clearly foreshadowed in the
tremendous efforts being made by
the several committees having the
matter in charge. New York is pre-
eminently lively when it comes to
taking hand in patriotic or any
other kind of celebration and she'll
not be left behind in the forthcom-
ing affair. 1t will be worth seeing;
indeed, some seem to think that it
will eclipse the centennial of Morgan
towns incorporation, held few years
since.
