horts and henchmen will have the
preference it he obtains power, and that
men who are as worthy and fresher can
be found for Offices aid places of trust
1t is not, and never will be. the popu-
lar wish that a permanent office holding
class should grow up under the re-
public.
But the objection goes still deeper.
A President who has filled one term has
necessarily developed and displayed to
the people some policy in the conduct
Of affairs which they either like or dis
like. If they like it SO far that, with
the improvement and progress which
greater experience promises, they wish
it continued, they re-elect him. But
if they do not SO like it, and defeat him
for reelection, what chance is there
that going back to the same old rut will
please them better after the exPresi-
dent has been four years clt of eg&
ierieice and familiarity with public
affairs? The country grows and
changes marvelous!y in four years, and
the men who failed to satisfy four
years ago are not presumably the best
men to satisfy to-day. 1t is the less TO
be expected at this time because great
| changes have been effected since lSSS
| In the modes of administration, IN the
| scope and duties OF many branches of
| the service, in the revenue laws and
riiiies and decisions based on them, In
the relations between this and other
powers ana the duties involved by new
relations with them, and in the broad
policy of reciprocity. Scarcely any
man in the country wGuld be more
seriously handicapped than Mr. Creve,
| land, in attempting to carry forwart.
| the government under conditions SO
greatly altered.
There is natural Indifference among
Democrats, because those who are not
| politicians or office-seekers do not sim
| cerely desire to 90 back to the methods
and policies of 1888. There is natural
| encouragement, because Democrats dis
cover that many of their own number,
especially business men and manufact-
urers, are thoroughly averse to the re-
second election of Mr.. Cleveland would
| now involve They did not quite like
| his administration four years ago, but
| have since seen one which they like
much better. They do not want a new
and violent agitation of the tariff ques-
| ton just as industries are making fine
| progress under the new law they do
not want the postal service crippled,
| the land office made an instrument for
expressing settlers, the pension office
used 10 worry pensioners out of their
| lives, the treasury employed to help
| foreign against American producers, and
the State Department used to break up
recipro ;ity and embroil the nation with
other powers. Especially, they do not
want confidence in the currency under
mined by desperate efforts to satisfy a
| fanatical Democratic majority, crazy for
| free coinage and ''at least $50 per
capita"

William Roberts, a woolen manufact-
urer from Bradford, England, has just
completed large mill in Bergen
County, \. j., opposite Passaic. 1t will
employ 80 hands. The mill and long
row of cottages for operatives has been
| built under his direction, and improved
looms and other machines for the manu-
facture of the finest grades of wooden
goods are being built. Mr.. Roberts
formerly did large business with the
United States, all his goods being
placed directly on the market here.
After the passage of the Mckinley bill

plant. Two other English factories will
be brought here in the same way.

extensive t, xtile industry to James
town, \. y. One hundred acres of
ground have been bought and the cree
ton of the factory will begin. Over
200 hands will be employed. The re-
moyal is said to be due to the Mckin-
ley law, which practically shut out the
firms product from the American mar
ket.
Within the last month representa-
tiyes of four large wooden houses IN
England have been in New Jersey look
ing Tor land on which to locate their
plants. One of these representatives
said that the report that several large
plants were about TO locate in South
Jersey vas authentic, and that worsted
manufacturers in Yorkshire, England
intended to come to this country within
a short time. They will build here and
employ American hands, as the tariff
has stopped their imporsations.-Roch'
