MORE TRANscoNTNENTAL TRoU.

CHICAGO, H., Aug. 27.-The
meeting of passenger representatives
of transcontinental lines which was to
have been held today. has been postponed
to Sept >, 1t is not certain It will be held
on that date, as ull lines have not yet as.
scented to the change. 1t is certain, how
ever. that the Canadian Pacific will not
be represented. That road has the power
10 make or unnake any rates decided
upon by the other lines, and Its refusal
10 attend n meeting puts them in an en-
blftassing position. The present rate
war Is eating out the heart of passenger
earnings, They are heartily tired of 1t,
but any settlement they may make is at
the mercy Of the Canadian Pacific.
What is considered the worst feature
of Tie situation by the other lines Is the
admittedly behicose disposition of the
Canadian Pacific. Officials OF that road
declare the whole trouble was brought
abo1t by the attempt Of the other lines
Ia steal It's business. Consequently II Is

And Gon't you forget it.


The policy which Mr.. CLEVELAND has
announced regarding the disposition of
the public offices has not received the
unanimous approval of his party. The
decision that as a rule former office
holders would not be considered for ap
pointment during the present presiden-
tial term has caused a somewhat stronger
feeling than that of disappointment
among those who have been faithful to
The democratic cause during the last
four years in the hope that their zeal and
fidelity would DE rewarded as soon as
their party was again victorious. The
old office holders were not only true to
the party, but they were also the most
earnest CLEVELAND men, and quite nat
urally they cannot see the prOpriety or
the justice of being excluded from con
sideratiOn when they have been loyal
both to the cause and to the leader.
They look upon the decision of the pres.
ident 20 do this as a piece of ingratitude,
as we'll as bad politics, and they are not
at all comforted by the idea that there
should be rotation in Office and that it is
unwise to establish an office holding
dynasty. They reason that if this prin
ciple is sound what becomes of civil ser
vice reform, which if carried out to its
fullest extent, mnst result in establish
ing an office-holding dynasty. They dis.
cover an inconsistency between the pro-
fessions of the president respecting this
reform and his decision as to ~disposing
of the offices
On the other hard the new departure
is cordially approved by the masses
seeking office who have never enjoyed
government patronage, and it is said
that many of this class want the presi-
dent to extend his policy so as include
The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1893-03-21

ex.members of congress who were de-
feated for re. election and consular Off
GERS who have been abroad through
several presidential terms. 1t is argued
in support of this extension that men
who have failed to receive the support
of the people should not be taken for
federal Office in preference to other ap-
~plicants, while in the case of consuls who
have been abroad for many years it is
urged that they should be brought home
in order that they may have opportun-
ity to become acquainted with their own
country, and to study the great progress
which has been made in every field of
enterprise since they left it.
This is a matter concerning which the
president can nave his own way, but it is
by no means certain that ne will be per-
mitted to carry out the policy he has an
nouDced unchallenged. 1t is reported
that there is talk among democratic con-
gressmen Of forming a combination to
combat the presidential idea regarding
patronage, by giving the president to un-
derstand that if he expects support for
the policies of his administration he must
show some regard for the wishes of demo-
cratic representatives in the distribution
Of the offices. 1t is not very probable
that any such combination will be formed,
yet the president will hardly escape some
trouble in putting his policy into effect.
1t is so radical a departure from the ira
ditional course of the democratic party
that it will not be generally accepted with
cOmplacency. But it is not to be doubted
that if carried out it will be a benefit to
the public service and commend itself to
the approval of the intelligent public
sentiment of the county.

WHO SHALL SAY?

The papers of the country are at the
present time devoting considerable of
their space to the admitted fact that a
Massachusetts lady, upon whose head
some sixty summers or sOm'ers there
abouts, has married her %coachman.
To marry a cOachman is not u of the
extraordinary, all things and all parties
being equal. But in this particular case
the cOachman was poor and the woman
is reputed to be worth five million dol
lars. The information also states that
there was some discrepancy in the ages
Of the respective parties, the coachman
being a young man of but 26 years.
And the papers give this woman hail
columbia. 1t is universally admitted that
the coachman is an honorable man, but
charged to his account is the crushing
crime of being poor.
Had this old lady, and for arguments
sake, admitted that she is in her dotage
and irresponsible, married some titled
ass from across the pond, and made
much of it, her all these same papers
would have luridly described the won
derful wedding and the young look" or
prince or knight would have been a great
fellow.
But the long buzzard- beaked Gossip of
the world took its place and is o talk
ing.
We hold that the woman had a right to
marry the man, and the man, if she was
willing, had the right to marry her. And
his motives and her motives are not to be
questioned by the vulgar, vexatious and
~varigated crowd of human asses who pay
attention to the business Of others and
neglect their own.
1t is to be regretted in the face of this
record that if CLEVELAND really means
to give US a business administration,
he completed his cabinet before the
young Frenchman married the Massa.
chusetts widow. He, the Frenchman, il
certainly business from the shoulder.

1T Is TUFF.

Not many months ago, HE DURHAM
On. c. GLOBE, over which AL FAIR
BROTHER pIesides, with the venom of q
ruined archangel, boosted that the brave
Buffalo boy would slap the dirty (pen,
SION beggars in the face, when he should
come into power. Little did FAIR
BROTHER imagine, however, that the
Buffalo boy might possibly slap in an
other direction, not half as interesting or
amusing to him as it would be to see the
old soldiers take it. But the slap has
come, come sooner than THE GLOBE ex-
pected it, and it hits, hits harder than
even THE GLOBE desired it. CLEVE.
LAM has caused it to be given out as a
cold, clammy fact, that no editors need
apply for offices under his administration,
and the editor of THE GLOBE and such
as he, who sell their honor and bedraggle
their papers in the slime of calumny and
venom and hate for partizan purposes,
can now swallow a dose of their own
medicine.
The above is from the Nebraska Syria
cuse Journal, ard is plainly and posi-
lively refreshing.
FAIRBRoTHER never claimed to be a
democrat-he simply claims to be big
enough and broad enough to see all sides
and appreciate all sides.
When he wrote about CLEVELAND he
wrote because he knew that CLEVELAND
was vigorously, Numerically and ever
lastingly opposed to the miserable and
Ubiquitous humbug called the "Pension
Bureau"
So far as FAIRBROTHER wanting or ex-
pecting or asking anything at the hands
of the administration, that is all silly rot.
We know that the pension system is
fraudulent, and we said so at the North
and West non the less vigorously than
we have maintained our position at the
South.
The trouble appears to be with par
titan editors that they cannot see any
thing but politics. If a man tells the
truth about the republican party, a re.
publican editor at once sees in his honest
work a bid for office.
We have not fought against the pen.
sion system from such a vicious and cow
ardly standpoint.
We opposed the rotten system because
we know it is barcfaced and %baldheaded
fraud because we know that the treas
ury is annually looted by bummers and
thieves and ~sceundrels, and because we
wanted to see some man who would
purge the rolls.
That is why We fought the outft-and
never have We nor never will we ask
for any otlice-because We are able bod
led and can make a living for ourself
without becoming a charge upon the ma
ton.
And non't you forget it.
