SUBllMATED IDIOCY,

Governor Campbelrst Idea Regarding
Brice's Senatorial Purchase.
Either Governor Campbell, of Ohio
has lost what head he once had or he
has a sublimated idiot for private sec
retary. That person was commissioned
TO deliver Mr.. Calvin Brice's credentials
as Senator from Ohio. and according to
newspaper reports he delivered them,
not to Mr.. Brice. who is the Senator
elect by purchase, but to Mr.. Brice's
wife, and accompanied the presentation
with burst of oratory which-whether
1t was his own or his employer's-was
about the slushiest bit of rhetorical
balderdash imaginable. This is it:
Your distinguished husband has passed un-
scathed through the valley of the shadow"
politically speaking. The campaign which has
tust terminated was perhaps the crisis of his
political career. We therefore all rejoice with
you that the shafts of Slander and malice aimed
at him during an exciting canvass have fallen
harmless al his feet, leaving him with an un-
sullied record and spotless name. In the eyes
Of the people the battle through which he has
gone has but served to cause the sterling quail
ties of mind and heart TO stand out in bolder
relief congratulate you. madam on the hap
py termination Of a great struggle, and am
pleased to present you with this certificate Of
your husbands election to the exalted position
Of United States Senator from Ohio.
Besides being silly, this speech is full
of untruth. Mr.. Brice did not ''pass
unscathed." There were no .'shafts of
slander and malice aimed at him" He
canvassed for his own election in way
that was unbecomlng, and honest news
papers said so. He claimed and got his
election solely as reward for his lib
eral expenditures of money in cam
paigns, and his election was triumph
of Plutocracy yer Democracy. Natur-
ally the independent press presented
the facts and protested against them in
the hope of saving the Democratic party
from the shame and the harm of send
ing a man to the Senate because of his
money and without reference to his
brains.
If Governor Campbell is responsible
for his secretary's silly and untruthful
speech he has discredited himself at the
outset of his service. Why should he,
Democratic representative of the people,
tbase himself before this millionaire?-

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2.-Samuel W.
Garness, money broker of this city.
died at the city hospital last night from
the effects of bullet wounds inflicted by
ID. II. Arnold, wealthy resident of
Colusa County. The shooting is be-
licved to have had its origin in some
anonymous circulars distributed in Col
usa over year ago charging
Arnold with having been guilty
of improper conduct Arnold had en-
dcavorcd to ascertain the author of
these circulars and bis suspicious rested
on Garness. The men had quarreled
over the affair several times before, and
they entered saloon on Market street
together and went into a private room.
A few moments later several shots were
heard, and when the parties entered the
room they found Arnold had shot Gar
ness with a revolver, three of the shots
taking effect and causing his death last
night. Arnold was arrested and is still
in custody. He refuses to make any
statement in regard to the affair.

There are certain iudicrous elements
In the case of Colonel Brice which the
press of the country is quick to grasp,
but the matter can not be disposed of
BY the use of ridicule alone. 1t has a
serious side and demands grave treat
ment Colonel Brice is not fit man
for Senator, to begin with. He has
never served the State or the country
in any public capacity. His acquaint-
ance with political economy is of the
most superficial character. He has had
no training or experience to qualify him
for the duties of such an exalted po-
sition. But fie his money he would
never have been thought of in connec-
tion with the Office. With his money
he was able to thrust aside candidates
of known ability and integrity and to
secure great honor by paying for it as
he would have bought piece of prop
erty. This is burning shame to Ohio,
and it is also reproach to the Nation.
A performance of that sort should not
be possible anywhere in this country,
and least of all in State so rich in her
record of worthy names and creditable
services. All of the States suffer when
one of them thus humiliates and dis
graces herself
This man Brice is no stranger to the
American people. They have had oc-
casion to note certain business proceed
ings on his part which were little bet
ter than blackmailing jobs, and which
should have ruled him out of all decent
commercial society. But they saw most
of him in the last Presidential campaign.
He was the chief manager of the Demo-
cratic canvass, selected at the special
instance of Grover Cleveland. His rela-
tions with the candidate of his party
for the highest Office in the country
were of the most intimate character.
They were in daily consultation. plan
ming and striving together for the sue
cess which the intelligence and patriot
ism of the people did not permit them
to achieve. 1t is well known that they
are still fast friends and fellow-con-
spirators in politics Colonel Brice goes

WALKER BLAINE'S EXAMPLE.
1t Teaches Most Important Lesson in
Ciyil-Service Reform.

It Teaches a Most Important Lesson in
Ciyil-Service Reform.
Few young men of America have such
opportunities to secure thorough train
Ing in the public service as had Walker
Blaine, whose untimely death will be
very generally regretted Well edu-
Gated, talented and highly favored by
circumstances, he had come to be val
uable servant of the Nation. Had his
life been spared in all probability he
would have risen high in the public en-
ployment- As it was, most of his time
.from the close Of his college career was
spent in discharging the duties belong
ing to important Federal Offices.
IL the United States is to have diplo-
matte service of high order It must
take into its service many young men of
ability like Walker Blaine and train
them for years until they are competent
TO fill the most important positions at
home and abroad. The young man who
has just died was possessed of much
merit, but without the favor of his IA
ther of course he could not have secured
the valuable training which fell to him.
Yet there is no good reason why such
training should not be open to promis-
ing young men, no matter whether they
have political influence or not. The
Nation needs such men and ought to
take pains 20 secure them.
If the example of Walker Blaine shall
teach this important lesson in civil
service reform his life will not have
been too short to do much good to his
eountry.-Chicago News Und).

a Bitter Controversy between Officers OF

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The scribbliny nor.
ton OF the German army is waging u
paper war preparatory, it would seem,
to the action on more sanguiuary field
which they undisguisedly hope for.
Some officer, generally supposed to be
a prussian general, published brochure
confidently asserting TINT cavalry is 10
be the ail.important arm Of the future,
and that oil other branches OF the service
will soon be subordinatcd to the meunt-
ed warriors, whose value at present is
not properly appreciated.
A writer signing himself "Captain
SGhaeter' answered it in tho liilinr
!Vochenolatt, and his example has been
followed by numberless infantry, ar,il.
!ery and engineer officers, each enlarc-
ing upon the superior value TO the Faith.
erland OF that arm to which he is attncl,-
ed. Much ill.feeling las been engendcr.
60, the circulation OF the Journal above
named bas greatly increased, and it is
stated that to prevent several ducls
which were on the tapis the Emperor
mas ordered commanderso regiments to
forbid such hostile meetings and notified
the publishers OF the IvochenblaN that
further articles Of the came tenor must
not be printed. ~, :
The fact is that the arrogance of the
cavalry officers, has always rendered
them detestable to their brrethern Of tho
line, and there seems to be no remedy
for this state Of things SO long as Tie
equestrian branch is the most aristocratic
and draws its officers principally from
the nobility. Thus leaving oat the cav
airy Of the guard, which is superlatively
blue,blooded, there are in the Pfussian
cavalry 1877 "noble" officers aud 3G4
untitled ones. In the infantry the pro-
portion is 1904 to 4,20l bourgeois. Thus,
compared with "nobby" cavalry, the i'll.
iantry is "shobby," and there is no love
lost between them. The dissensions
have not decreased tho efficiency OF the
army as yet, but there is little doubt that
their tendency is to do so. ,.,-.
