and chiefs of bureaus that the present
operation OF the law Is not at all satis-
factory from the point OF view OF the
interests OF the public service. The
president has been furnished with OBJ
jections and arguments against the law
from number OF sources, and on the
other hand he has been freely as
sailed by criticisms OF the way In
which the law has been administered.
Standing between these antagonistic
forces IL would not be surprising IL he
should feel some embarrassment in deal
ing with this question.
The impression is, however, that the
president will c..ake no recommen dation
to congress looking to an abridgement
OF the scope OF the reform or in any way
inimical TO il. tits believed that on the
contrary he will so dispose of the
hostile objections and arguments as to
place congressman in the attitude
of opposing the administration IL they
fight the law. This would obviously be
not only "a consistent position for the
president, but it would be the most con-
elusive answer he could make to his
critics. If he can silence the hostility
to civil service reform in his own party,
and prevent any interference with it
which would be a step backward, he
wilt certainly have just claim to be
regarded as the friend OF the principle,
even though in the administration Of
the reform the expectations of some, as
was the case with his predecessor, have
been disappointed. There appears to
be good reason to expect that in this
matter the president will amply vindi-
cate himself, and point congress the
way to render civil service reform more
effective and generally acceptable.

THE EIErTrONs.

All that can be said this morning
with any degree OF certainty regarding
the elections yesterday in the states
upon which general political interest
conferred, is that Ohio, Massachusetts
and Iowa elected the republican tick
cts, aud New York and Virginia the
democratic tickets.
The indications are that the re-
suit in Ohio will be very close. Fora
ker suffered from a combination OF
causes, chief OF these being the third
term issue, and the belief Of many OF
Senator Sherman's friends that the
governor did not deal fairly with him
at the last national republican conven-
tion.
In Massachusetts,, where the Aus
tralian ballot system received its first
complete test in this country, the re-
publicans claim their usual majority,
but the probability is that the
result will fall somewhat short Of this
estimate. The state. however, is Sc
curely republican.
In Iowa the republican vote has been
reduced, and the plurality OF the party
will be small. The river towns gener-
ally show large democratic gains. The
legislature is doubtless safely reDubDi-
can, so that the reelection OF Senator
Allison is assured.
Governor Hill has scored another vic
tory in New York, though probably
with reduced majority, the repuhli-
cans claiming considerable gains out
side of New York city and Brooklyn.
Mahoue, in Virginia, is defeated by
at least twenty thousand, and possibly
more, result which will be no surprise
to those who have closely watched the
campaign in that state. 1t should per-
manently dispose of Malone as the re-
publican leader in Virginia.
1t must be confessed that on the whole
the results of the elections are rather
more encouraging to democrats than to
republicans, and they convey some
lessons which the latter should profit by.
Omaha daily bee., 1889-11-06

The effect of the admission of the new
states may be summed up as rObbing
New York of her former prestige as
arbiter of the political fortunes OF the
whole country, saws the Washington
Star. The battlefield of the future, for
a considerable period at least, will be
located in one of the lesser states, such
as Indiana or New Jersey, whose loss
would probable be irreparable to the
democrats, and where the republicans
could spend their time, labor and money
to much better advantage. The fall OF
the great state from her former pedestal
of supreme Importance will save her to
some extent from being every four years
the scene of desperate struggle in the
arts of political corruption. The votes
of her citizens will not so outweigh
those of other Americans that immense
sums of money will be spent and great
risks of the penitentiary taken to secure
them. The change will also be marked
by the exercise of great caution in the
choice of candidates, in order that, if
the head of the ticket must come from
New York or her neighborhood, he
shall at least be acceptable to the people
OF the states where the other fierce
lighting will be done. Finally, it will
mark a change in the old notions of the
value of sectional solidity, for the dem
ocrats will now realize the wisdom of
throwing more force into their efforts in
the northwest, while the republicans
will make an honest struggle for some
of the southern states where immigra-
tion from the north, and q change from
purely agricultural to mixed industrial
conditions, seem to offer a possibility of
SuccpSS.

Tribute to a Leading Democratic.

Eloquent as the Hon. William l.. Scott has
been as the champion OF a people ground
down by monopolies and robbed and op-
pressed by corporation averice, he was far
more eloquent and truthful when he wrote
to the president of the New York Central
railroad: "Send me free pass TO help me
out in my district. am a democrat and you
are republican, but we are both OF US first
of all for the corporations. If 1 get back to
congress you will know where my heart re-
ally is; and be sure that on any question af-
fecting your corporation my vote will go
where it will do the most good" The Hon.
William l.. Scott may not be liable to con-
viction under Section $500 of the Revised
Statutes, but we fear much that he is liable
to conviction as an awful humbug.

but youth triumphed. Next, the church
wardens thought to terminate tho scan
dal by restoring Sheels' pew, but the
vicar appeared ON the scene and stopped
the work; and so the dispute stands
This Is hardly what the apostle had In
his eye when he laid down that things
should be done "docently and in order;"
but 1t no doubt helps to show the Chat
teris people how much we should lose IL
we disestablished the church.
