THREE MONTHS OF HARRISON.

Judging from the tone of the Demo-
cratic press one would infer that Presi-
dent Harrison has given attention to
nothing but the distribution of Offices
for the three months that he has been
In office, and that he has attended to
that but indifferently, whereas it has sell
dom happened that more international
questions of great Importance have
been crowded into so short a period of
time, as well as state questions that
had to be met. That he should at the
earliest possible moment surround him
self with able men in practical accord
with him in public matters was demand
ed by the nature of our government;
and that, as far as possible, the working
machinery of the government should be
placed in the hands of those friendly to
the distinctive measures of the admins
t~ration, was also right. That this i'm
piled many delicate decisions is plain.
For almost every Office there have
been from two to fifty applicants,
any one of whom was qualified for the
place, and in many cases a majority were
equally well qualified and equally de-
serving recognition, and, speaking from
a mere political standpoint, equally en-
titled to favor. That he has met the ex-
pectatiOns of the thousands who hoped
for Office is not claimed, for he could
not. That was a physical as well as a
moral impossibility, but that the YER
dict of the people will be that he has
done well, none will doubt. In a short
time even the disappointed ones will
cheerfully acquiesce, and there will be
no dissensions. AS to his management
of state affairs, he has made nOmistakes.
But three months is too short a period
to judge an administration by. 1t opens
well, and those who know President
Harrison have faith in the man and his
wisdom and patriotism.

A WORD OF COMFORT FOB MUewUMPs.

Our mugwump contemporaries, chief
among which is the Springfield Mass
Republican, are shedding barrels, if not
oceans, of tears owe the removal of one
Judge Sanford from the chief-justice-
ship of Utah andthe appointing of Judge
Zane. Judge Sandford did not go at
once, but waited for an order to go,
that the said Sanford was not admins
tering justice according to the policy the
President thought proper for Utah af-
fairs. 1t is this that breaks the mug
wump heart-this having a policy for
Utah. and they say that it is the province
of Congress, not of the President, to die
tate the policy. Just so. Once upon a
time the Supreme Court of the United
States administered the laws of the
United States; but it was not according
to the policy of the people of the
United States to say, judicially, that a
colored man had no rights that a
white man was bound to respect,
whereupon the people took the first
possible opportunity to change the
court. A Supreme judge in a Territory
like Utah may neutralize every law of
Congress by his rulings. President
Harrison has q policy in regard to Utah,
as he has in regard to Mississippi or In
diana, and that is that the laws shall be
enforced everywhere alike, and no one
will claim that the dismissed Judge
SandfOrd was rendering the aid he
should in the enforcement of the laws.
These few remarks are made, not to
cOnciliate our mugwump contemporaries,
nor yet to defend the President. He
does not need defense, and though no
words of ours can heal these broken
mugwump hearts, we have SO kind a
feeling toward them that we want to
say something to placate them a lutte.
1t is out of sheer kindness we speak.

the United States each fiscal year, to
constitute a sinking fund. In 1881 Con-
gress authorized the Secretary of the
Treasury to use the surplus for this pur-
pose. When the Cleveland administra-
ton embarked in the free-trade policy
it also decided to nurse the surplus as
an argument in favor of reducing the
revenue. Accordingly, it not only ig-
nored the act of Congress authorizing
the application of the surplus, but, as
has just been discovered, I'D order to
make up the amount required for the
sinking fund, they redeemed old bonds
with new ones and added the amount to
the sinking fund as if the bonds had
been actually purchased and cancelled,
whereas the actual debt had not been
reduced at all. 1t was a dishonest trick,
but quite in keeping with the policy
that nursed the surplus as a financial
scarecrOw.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1889-06-15

WHATEVER else may be said of ex-
President Cleveland his consistency must
be admitted and admired. Others may
run after new issues, but he proposes to
adhere to "the traditions and ancient
creed" of the Democratic party, and in
his letterto the Free-trade Club of Mary
land he says the Democratic party can
not be true to these traditions and the
ancient creed of the party without a
hearty and sincere espousal of the cause
of tariff reform" which is, as he himself
explained, the meaning of this clap
trap phrase, without ~espousing free
trade. Just how Mr.. Randall will "get
the party together" with Mr.. Cleveland
forever e~levating the standard of tariff
REFORM" and the New York Sun insist
ing that that means unadulterated free
trade, the Journal cannot see. But as
that is Mr.. Randall's contract, not the
Journals, perhaps the best thing to be
done is to wait and see the procession
move. But which procession? EVIDENT
ly, Mr.. Cleveland does not intend to
bulge an inch. Will Mr.. Randalrs
wing do the budging?

THE Journal hopes that the decoration
of the graves of rebel soldiers may long
continue. They fought we'll, though in
a bad cause, and their personal valor is
a national inheritance. There is also an
incidental advantage. The occasion
affords a good opportunity to test the
present animus of the people of that
section. 1t will not always be that any
considerable number of any section will
laud the cause for which those men
died, nor find it necessary to defame the
brave men who maintained the Union
flag. These occasions will, however,
long serve as a convenient thermometer
to test the feelings of the people in re-
gard to the Union. AS such, the late
memorial address of Gen. Jubal Early,
at Winchester, Va, is serviceable. 1t
abounded in false and sarcastic criti-
cisms of the Union army and of Union
officers, Grant and Sheridan coming in
for the chief portion of his abusive
epithets. 1t will not always be thus.

officers or those directly under its con-
troll. Under the Confederacy which pre-
coded the adoption of the Constitution,
the appointing power was in Congress
because there was no executive. AT
that time Congress appointed all federal
officers, but with the adoption of the
Constitution, which makes practically
the same division of powers that our
State Constitution does, this practice
ceased. The only vestige of it retained
by Congress is the confirmation, in some
instances, of appointments made by the
executive. Congress would no more
think of creating an Office and appoint
ing its incumbent than it would of pass
ing a law ov~erruling a decision of the
Supreme Court.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1889-06-15
THE APPOINTING POWER.

The brief filed in the Supreme Court
case takes the broad ground that the
Constitution vests all appointing power
in the Governor, and that it remains
with him unless some part of it is
especially conferred on the Legislature.
The Constitution nowhere cOnfers n
legislative power on the executive or iu-
dicial departments, nor any judicial
power on the legislative Orexecutive de-
partments. Where does it confer ap-
pointing power on the Legislature? In
this view the Governors counsel insist
that the burden of proof is on the per-
son claiming, under the Legislature, to
cite the express provision of the Con-
%stitutiOn under which it claims to ex-
ercise appointing power. They insist,
further, that this must not be mere color
of authority, but express authority-as
plain as it would take to justify the
Governor in attempting to exercise Leg
islative authority. In other words,
counsel for the Governor plant them
selves on the established doctrine of the
division and distribution of powers
among the three departments of govern
ment, and on the express provision of
the Constitution comforting all appoint
ing power on the Governor, Except as
in this Constitution expressly pro-
vided." This position is impregnable.
1t is founded on bedrock, and every de-
parture from it is a departure from the
Constitution. No series of wrong prec-
edents, however long continued, and
no amount of legislative aggression,
however unrebuked, should prevail
against it. The Legislature has no con-
s~titutional authority to create a statutory
office and fill it by appointment. The
only right it has in that regard has been
created by the Legislature itself. Every
exercise of such power has been outside
of any power vested in the Legislature
by the Constitution or by the people.
The principle here insisted on is
strictly observed by Congress. Out of
considerably more than 100, 900 Offices un-
der the national government Congress
does not appoint one, except its own

THE suggestion that President Harri-

from the army is calling attention to
wrongs whicht the private soldier is called
to endure under the officers of the
army. The discussion itself will do
good. Our army is composed of our
soma, and any system of discipline that
treats them with cruelty will be resent
ed by the people in some way. But if
these 10000 are p%ardoned, how will we

GOVERNOR HILL's refusal to surrender
Maroney and Mcdonald ON the requisi-
ton of the Governor of Illinois may be
made in good faith, or it may be the dis
reputable trick of an INSCRIPTIONS dema-
gogue. Most likely it is the latter. The
Ostensible reason was that the requisi-
ton was not accompanied by an indict-
ment or by proof that the men were
guilty of the crime charged against
them. When that objection is removed
by the finding of an indictment Governor
Hill will probably raise other objections
to surrendering the prisoners. He is the
most arrant d~emagOgue now in public
life, and if there is any chance to make
political capital out of this business by
the betrayal of public justice or duty he
will not hesitate 20 do it.
