MIR. cLEvELANp's POSITION.

MIR. CLEVELAND'S PO5IIlON'
We wonder that tho believers in ma
chino politics have failed TO read the
Significance OF Mr.. Clevcland's re-
election to the Pre- sidency. Ho is no
weathercock to be turned with every
wind. He is at all times consistent
and the bravest spoken man At present
in public life His every speech since
the election has sounded kcyrotc
that the very ground might hear Lis
ten to his words at the Willard dinner
Thursday night:
.Whcn | consider all we have 20 do as party
charged with the control of tho government
feel that our campaign instead os being con-
cludcd, is but Just begun. What shall orr per
Torrance be of The contract we have made with
our countrymcn, and how well shall we Justify
the trust they have rcposcd in US? If we sec
nothing IN oar victory but a license to rcvcl in
partisan spoils we shall fail at every point. If
we merely profess TO enter upon our work. and il
we make apparent cndeavor to do it as a cover for
seeking partisan advantages, we shall invite con
tempt and disgrace.
''Who in our party charged with any response
bility to the people has not pledged his devotion
to the principles of true Democracy, and who
among rs has made pledges with intent TO de-
ceiyc: have faith in the manlncss and truth
funess OF the Democratic party
Is there IN this any sign of oncour.
agement for horde of selfish cffice-
chasers to hunt their quarry and hound
the administration with their importu-
nate demands for place, based not on
fitness, but on party services? Listen,
then, to these telling words, uttered
in New York:
.'Thc American people have become politically
more thoughtful and more watchlul than they
were ten years ago. They arc considering now
vastly more than they were then political prin-
Ciplcs and party policies, in distinction to party
manipulation and the distribution of rewards for
partisan services and activities. This situation
is one that ought at once to be recognized and
intclligcntly met by those who are charged with
the management of our party organization.
'In the present mood OF the people neither
the Demo ratio party nor any other party can
gain and keep the support of the majority OF our
voters by merely promising distributing per.
sonal spoils and fayors from partisan supremacy.
They arc thinking of principles and policies, and
they will he satisfied with nothing short OF the
utmost good faith III the redemption OF the
pledges to serve them in their collective capacity
by the inauguration of wise policies and giving
to them honest government.
81 WOULD not HAVE THIS OTHERWISE,
for l am willing that the Democratic party shall
sec that its only hope OF successfully meeting
the situation is by being absolutely and patrioti
cally truc toI ITSELF and its profession This il
sure guarantee OF success, and 1 know of nc
other
There is no room nor opportunity for
mistake about President-elect Cleve
lands position. Tho distribution OF
Offices will be a minor faction in his ad
ministratcn, and legislative and ad-
ministrative reform will lead.

CONGRESSIONAL" JuRyMEN.

TIE TINES feels deeply the hearty
Communications which spring from
every direction on it's work in exposing
the extent to which professional Jury
men have crcpt in upon our courts. The
evil is ono Of long standing and deep
root | t can only be wiped out of ex-
istence oy tho persistent aud united eff
forts Of citizens, judges and court Of
ficials. 1t is the plain duty OF citizens
to serve on juries whom summoned, and
even at q sacrii ice that service should
be performed. 1t is true that Jury SER
vice is more or less in disrepute with
citizens in good standing, for the very
reason that they do not care to sit with
professional jurors.
j. Allen Watts, Esq, offers a radical
put Intelligent solution of the evil of
professionalism in juries, by cutting
down the size of the jury to three and
then paying them an adequate amount.
He is right. The community has no
more right to take the timo OF an indi-
vidual without paying him what that
time is worth than it has to take his
property without rendering full recon-
ponse. The reform should begin at the
bottom. In the meantime the remedy
lies in the hands of the court and court
officials
AS for TIE TIMgs, it feels like an
Irishman at Donnybrook Fair: When

AT six o'clock the rush began and the

crowd. large number were turned
away, some with good prospects of Sc
curing their old positions in the near
future, while many were informed that
they would be given no work under any
consideration. 1t is now plainly evil
dent that the black list is quite long.

Jury Reform Needed.

From tho Evening World,
The World is in hearty sympathy with
any movement to rid Roanoke of profess
sional juries. Justice has often miscar-
ried because there was a professional on
the jury who knew mt re than the law
properly administered, is one OF tho bull
warks of American liberty, and tho
sacredness Of its purpose should not be
diverted by courthouse hangers.on. A
moro rigid enforcement OF tho law by
the officers Of the court ought to correct
this evil. Here is an opportunity for
Judge Woods to inaugurate much
needed reform, and the World conf
IDENTIFY believes that he will be equal to
the occasion.
