The professional Ieformers have OF late been
lavish in their praise of Civil Service Commits
sioner Roosevelt Commentator from such
sources is to be deprecated rather than sought
after, and while Mr. Roosevelt has gone straight
ahead doing his duty to the best of his ability,
he has doubtless been prepared to see these
ELUSIVE admirers turn and rend him at the
earliest opportunity. Their opportunity has
come. Mr.. Roosevelt has been guilty Of the
objectionable crime of speaking well Of the
New York Postmaster lie even says that Mr..
Van Colt intends to carry out the Civil-Seryice
law. and that he will make an excellent official.
This is really passing all bounds. The pro-
fessionaI reformers may, after granting him
another opportunity, forgive Mr. Roosevelt by
and-by, but they can never, never condone an
excellent administration on the part Of Mr.
PearSon's successor

The Park Commissioners had an excellent OPP
portunity yesterday for putting on record an
emphatic protest against the spolation OF the
City Hall Park by the proposed monstrosty
which Mayor Grant and bis associate officials
appear determined to force upon the people OF
New-Yorit. Such a resolution was offered by
Commissioner RObb, but President Hutchins'
who recently said that he had no objection to
the use of Central Park as site for The pro-
iected worlds fair, became alarmed lest the
Commission might be going too far, and so a
mild depreciation Of the outrageous scheme was
agreed TO- This is a good deal better than
nothing, though Mr.. Robb's resolution was not

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.

good chance of carrying the Legislature this

HticaI history of New-York The Democracy
Of late years rarely has had majority in either
the Senate or Assembly. Since 1872 every
Senate except one and every Assembly except
three have been controlled by Republicans.

So why? Oh. reply these Democratic journals

Hill has vetoed large number Of appropria-
tons, and that gives us our opportunity
Bosh. Those who resort to this dodge under
stand that it is dodge, and nothing more.
They are simply endeavorng TO obtain votes
by false pletences They are striving to pro-
duce the impression on the public mind that
the Democratic party is the party Of reform in
this State, and the Republican party is the
party Of anti reform. The mere statement Of
such proposition is enough to provoke de-
risiye smile from every intelligent student Of

The clergy of Charleston, s. c. have adopted
o series of resolutions which bear severely upon
the acquittal of DR.. Mellow. This is move in
the right direction, and greatly needed move.
Until public sentiment in Charleston and all over

impunity. And, since material prosperity is
largely conditional on moral progress, it will pay
the South TO accomplish the reform in question

Mr.. 6. l.. NJ Barlow, whose death occurred
Yesterday was a man Of manifold activities.
Had he chosen TO enter public life. there IS no
doubt that he would have won official distinc-
ton. But he preferred the freedom and indie
incidence of the private station. Though a
lifelong Democrat, he was never candidate
for political Office. Yet his interest IN politics
was keen, and his influence with the leaders OF
his party was marked. A generous patron OF
the arts and an openhanded benefactor Of those
in distress and trouble, the community suffers
by his death permanent loss.

As the net result of two days work in the
NIcQuade trial at BalSton there are eight men
in the jury-box, one having been excused and
four more selected yesterday. This is rapid
progress compared with the task Of jury finding

there is no anxiety among the people of Sara

offered are legion. The interest in the trial
is anguid, owing to the absence of belief in

the hour Of death. Some hold that the largest
proportion Of deaths from disease occur when

is true in the early hours Of morning. There
are yet other more or less widespread i'm

appear to be the most popular ones. 1t has

careful observations have been made in
