NOTES AND COMMENTS.

President Harrison's system OF
making appointments and promotions
in the army is another thing that can
not be too speedily dispensed with
n Y. World.
Mr.. Cleveland struck a happy
medium as to the age qualification in
his cabinet The mem bers are neither
too old for action nor too young for
wise counsel--hansas City Star.
The republicans have certainly
on the average had hard luck with the
new states thev admitted with the ex-
pectatiOn of making permanent their,
rule in the sena te.-Denver Sun.
Much as they would like to do it.
the republican senators cannot over
rule the action of tho people of the
country in placing the democratic par
ty in sole control of the government
Sioux City Tribune.
The naming Of Judge Gresham
for secretary OF state has caused the
republicans to kick higher and harder
than the appointment of Judge Jack
son did. When the republicans are in
opposition the democrats can general
" congratulate themselves on doing
the right thing.-Detroit Free Press.
The democrats are going to con-
troll the senate. Yet it was to prevent
such a possibility that the new states
were admitted-only three or four
years ago The millstones have done
some fine grinding during the last two
or three years Indeed, ever since re
construction" days.-Hartford Times
The republican papers are point
ing to the fact that number of the
great trusts have exploded as an indi-
cation of the greatness OF the repub-
Hcan policy. The net thing they viii
be charging that the trusts were got
ten mp by the democratic party as
means of knocking the republican
party out of power.-St Paul Globe.
Nothing so strikingly measures
the force Of the political revolution we
have Just passed through as this over
turn of the senate. The republicans
two years ago counted on holding that
body for ten years, no matter what
happened to their popular MAORI
ties in the congressional and presi-
Dental fields.-Springfield Mass Re
publican.
President Harrison has appointed
Myron NJ Parker to be a member of the
board of commissioners of the District
of Columbia Myron VI. Parker is a
man who was removed from Office bys
President Grant because of his connec-
ton with the Star-Route- swindfinp.
President Harrison Is more fortunate
in his appointments when he chooses
democrats. Y. World.
The admission of territories for
partisan reasons is very poor politics
at this stage of American history. This
is 4 lesson the republican party has
learned to its cost. Even Senator Roar
can see it now, though only last year
he Dragged that the United States SEN
ate was so well packed by the admis-
sion of northwestern territories shat the
democrats could not get a majority in
It in less than ten. years.-St- Louis
Republic
Mr. Cleveland is pursuing steadi--
" his policy of establishing from the
first q business. administration upon.
which, in all its parts, he and the cou1.-
try can depend. Senator Carlisle
loses all that Is attractive IN his polit-
ical career to accept the most arduous
duties OF governments for the next four
years His department. must bear the
heaviest part OF the tariff and financial
policy and these two matters fa- out
rank all others IN gravity and diff
Guilty Mr. Bisseff's name Is criticized
only in New York state, and no other
reason IS assigned except that he NAV
be beyond the caloleries of the ma
chine Since the democratic party has
been impatient for the day to arrive
when the New York machine would
have less % do with national politics
this criticism Is fine reeommendsts.sn
OF AIR Eisssll So far MIR. Cleveland
has not made mistake. City
