Il is tho remarkable fortune Of
Grover Cleveland that his name is
associated, not with one great reform,
but with several great reforms. With
which Of those three Shibboletbs is he
most closely identified Tariff Reform.
Ballot Reform. or Civil Service Reform ?
q momentum, trio Of issues that are
assuming overwhelming importance in
the National political life, and which
arc as certainly destined to triumph in
the end as that Right, transmitted from
Heaven, governs on earth in the long
run.
Wa consider it the principal cause for
congratulation in the contemporary
history Of our country, that it possesses
NJ least one illustrious citizen whose
example is 10 every respect a beacon
light to be seen Of all men, to direct
them in the true course which citizen
ship should follow. The influences Of
that great example IL is impossible to
overestimate. The extent and the
depth Of the impression which 1t has
made, and is still making upon the
minds Of the people, are beyond the
power Of moral calculation.
II, at times, the corruption and class
tyranny in economic matiersprovailing
under our system Of government, seem
70 be rejection on Republican insti-
tutions, the strength of Cleveland with
the masses Of The American people, re-
moves the impression, for his strength
consists not in the arts Of designing
politicians in his own party, like Hill
and Gormou, but in bis unswerving sd-
herence to what bis own convictions
and the conscience of the people re-
cognize to be right and proper.
The position which he has taken upon
the three leading reform measures OF
the day, is, we believe, sustained by the
best elements Of the Democracy every
where. Who doubts the vast progress
which lariI reform has made since the
publication of his famous tariff meas
ure. Civil service reform looks to him
as its most useful and iudicious friend.
while ballot reform has received iis
most powerful impulse from his advo-
cacy Of its necessity. II there were no
reasons in justice and expsdiency why
ballot reform should be pressed, ito
righteousness would be enforced on the
attention OF the American people by
the warm endorsement of Cleveland
alone.

Since the announcement Of Senator
Edmunds' purpose to introduce bill
in Congress TO provide for the establish

inxton the subject has been discussed
in The leading newspapers OF the
country with much more fervor than
il deserved. The journals which bestow
upon the scheme any warm approval
are for the most part Republican papers.
Democratic editors, naturally. do not
look upon such al unwise and dan
gerous extension Of the functions OF the
Government with approval.
One Of The most recentlplans fermu-
lated for the university is embodied IN
a pamphlet Just published by the Rev.
Dr.. George ID. BOardman. Of Philadel
phia. He would have Ian American
Christian University It the Capital.
By that he means, as bis pamphlet shows,
simply Protestant University. which
should be sort Of offset 10 the Catholic
institution being founded there. Could

THE working OF the existing tariff
system is very graphically illustrated in
an item Of Information reported in the
newspapers OF Iowa, namely. that
farmer in that State is compelled to
give a. much as represents 100 bushels
OF potatoes for pillow, and as much as
represents a bushel OF the finest grade
Of flour, for one pound Of sugar. The
potatoes and flour. which are articles
which the farmer sells, are unprotected.
and are therefore cheap, while the pillow
and sugar. which are articles which the
farmer buys, are protected, and are
therefore. comparatively costly.
