II extending the time when the

that service, there will probably be
little complaint at President Harri-
sons deciding TO do 1t. Attorney
General Miller gives the country ne
information when be says the service
Is In bad disorder. This has been APP
parent for two years. The service
prior 70 1885 was the Finest In the
world. There were hundreds OF men
on our railway lines who had grown
up in the service apd whose equals
could not be produced without years
OF careful practice and training. The
great apostle of civil service reform
somehow or other concluded that a
change IN the mail service did not
count, for his secretary early in 1885
began turning out faithful railway
mail clerks and putting In their places
Democrats WHO knew no more
about handling mail matter rap
idly than dog knows about
theology. For time United States
mail matter was handled in the most
wretched fashion imaginable. In
Vermont the service was utterly up
set, and the new mail officials in a
regular state Of decentralization; aud
even TO this day the service is much
inferior to that afforded the public

ficient clerks. The appointment Of q

the entire service with view OF hav-

about a noticeable change for the bet
ter. and the sooner the appointments
are made aud the reorganization
begun, the more thankful the general

The virginia Democrats.

Though the platform of the Virginia Dem
ocats contains no explicit avowal that the
coming campaign is to be made, as far as
they are concerned, upon the race issue, the
speeches Of the leaders who took part In the
convention, and the utterances of the party
organs since the convention adjourned show
concluslvely enough that that is the card
with which they expect to take the trick.
There is no other issue clearly defined. The
Democrats, like the Republicans. profess
to be In favor OF aid for education which
means the Blair bill. they are, like the Re.
publicans, opposed to disturbing the settle
ment OF the debt question. and thew agree
with them in demanding modification or re-
peal of internal revenue taxation. Indeed
leaving out the TRADE against the Republi-
cans, their platform in its most important
particulars might easily be mistaken for the
platform adopted by the Republicans.
Their real line of battle in the coming con.
test is not disclosed by their platform. 1t is
not on questions of taxation, or education,
or State finance that they really intend to
fight Their forces are to be ranged along
the color line, and the issue is to be made as
far as they can make it, race issue, an
issue between blacks and whites. One Pol
lard, who was a candidate for attorney gen.
eral, disclosed the real programme when he

shouted africa has no more right to domin-
ate the South than Asia has to dominate
California, or the Anarchist or Communist
to dominate New England" He struck the
key note, and the convention responded to
it, Every thoughtful man regards the ex-
istence Of the colored line as menace not
only to the South but to the whole country,
and every thoughtful and patriotic man will
hail with joy the day when the voters OF the
South Divide on some other issue than that
of color. Until this color line is broken
down the South can never realize the pros
perity which its natural advantages entltle
it to. But here is the Old Dominion, the
Mother of Presidents, the State that boasts
of being the birthplace of Washington and
Jefferson, the State which as one of its pa
pers puts it, is regarded as the "bulwark of
Southern civilization" leading off in an If
fort to intensity the color line, to array race
against race, and to bring back the days of
Ku-Kluxism with its midnight arsons and
assassinations, Surely the Democratic lead.
ers of the Old Dominion have taken upon
themselves terrible responsibility. Blind

iraughtwith danger not only to their own
commonwealth, hat to every State of the
South. The worst misfortune that can be-

The proceedings of the Democratic State
convention in Ohio this week are worth
noticing, especially the speech of the chair
man. M d. Harter, of Mansfield, is the man
selected for chairman. Although cousin
OF the great Ohio apostle Of protection, Con-
gresham Mckinley, and manufacturer as
well. Mr.. Harter is as radical freetrader as
was ever Frank Hurd. A few years ago he
was chosen to preside over the Democratic
convention; but just before it assembled the
leaders heard that chairman Harter's speech
was to be a rabid free-trade grafton. This
being not far from the time when the Ohio
Democrats called for protection on their
wool 1t was decided that the party was just
then playing a political role that would not
admit the striking the keynote of the cam
paign with free trade speech So Mr..
Harter was forced to step aside for less
honest chairman. But this year Mr.. Harter
is chairman and has full swing with his free
trade speech. He has been, moreover, going
about Ohio proclaiming free trade from the
housetops. Democracy in Ohio" said he
the other day, "is proud, intelligent guam
tity, which takes no stock in so-cclled pro-
tective tariff, but believes all taxes taken
from the people should go into the public
treasury, and that no more should be taken
from the taxpayer than is needed to carry
on the government with dignity and effc.
iency"
Harter's candidate is Neal, free trader
after his own heart; and of course he is op-
posed to Meals competitor, Campbell, who
is Democrat of the wool convention year
and was so bitter against Cleveland after
the free trade message that he wouldn't WIS.,
1t the White House. The proceedings of the
convention which selects will be of more
than usual interest on account of this prom
inence for the tariff issue. II Ohio Demo-
Gratis come out for free trade fiat-footed, it
will be straw indicating that up to this
time they are still devoted to Grover Cleye
land. A good thrashing at the hands of the
Republicans at the polls, however, may
shake this allegiance.

Stories from Hayti need strong confirma-
ton before they are accepted as truth, but
the rumor that Legitime has concluded to
yield to Hippolyte on condition that his life
be spared and certain amount of money be
paid to him has an air of strong probability
about it. The last authentic news from the
Island showed that he was in desperate
straits, and that his overthrow was only
question of time. If he can save his neck
Tor rather his throat, for throat cutting seems
to be the mode Of execution in that country
by not putting Hippolyte to the necessity Of
attacking his stronghold, and at the same
time get his treasury, which at present is
believed to be practically empty, replen-
ished sufficiently for his own personal needs,
he would be fool not to embrace the op-
portunity. And Legitime has been reck-
oned far FROM fool.

The restoration of poor old Malietoa to
Samoa is measure of poetic justice and of
humanity as well, for which the United
States is entitled to the credit. In the be-
ginning of the Samoan troubles Malietoa
stood in the way Of the German aggressors.
So one day he was taken aboard German
war ship, and carried away around the earth
to one of the German colonies in Africa,
where he was kept as an exile. Poor old Ma
lietoa in his exile was not so striking Inquire
as was Napoleon at st. Helena, or as is Arab
Pasha, the Egyptian revolutionary leader.
whom the English still keep at Colombo in
Ceylon, but he was certainly more worthy of
sympathy than Napoleon and probably than
Arab ALSO Malietoa honestly defended his
people against despotic foreigners, and for
this the patriotic and benevolent cinnamon
colored monarch was taken over what must
have seemed to his simple Samoan mind
waters Of endless desolatiop, to land of I'M
heard of strangeness. 1t ought to be no
small pleasure to the American people that
they have enabled the simple old patriot to
plant his feet again on his native heath and
proclaim that his name is Macgregor once
more.

The Boston Democracy have had another
night of it-this time to see who should con
troll the cohorts of Ward 10. The Hon. Pat
rick j. Mcguire was candidate, and so was
Mr.. Martin Reagan. Mr.. Mcguire was
doomed" as the "workingman's friend,'
and Mr.. Reagan as the 'young mems candi-
date" There was tremendous enthusiasm
among the followers of both the statesmen,
and it got to expressing itself so vociferous-
ly that the police had to interfere and crack
several heads before anything like order
could be restored. Reagan won, his adver-
gary being far in the rear. 1t looks as though
the Hon. Patrick Mcguire would soon dis
cover that politics, to use the language of
Mr.. Pickwick, comprises difficult study of
no inconsiderable magnitude, especially in
Boston, where the science of breaking heads
seems to be an essential part Of the curricu-
lum.
