PRESIDENT CLEVELAND has aston
ished the politicians once again. His
latest declaration is that he will not toler-
ate the appointment, even to low-grade
clerkships, of any relative of the head of
a department or of the chief of subdivis-
ions of department. He will carry this
out in his own case, as well as in all
others, and refuse his relatives, however
distant, any places under the Govern
ment. Nepotism, therefore, is to have
the knife in this administration. That
the Democracy will take to this kindly is,
of course. not claimed. A few will ap-
prove, but the mass of the politicians
will denounce the Presidents policy,
self-interest with them rising superior to
all other considerations. The people at
large, however, will commend Mr..
Cleveland's determination.

THE WATER AT STOCKTON.

The people of Sacramento sympathized
with their neighbors of Stockton when
that city was invaded by small flood of
waters. Were it at all necessary to extend
aid. Stockton would have found Sacra-
mento people pouring out en- masse to
assist their fellow citizens. Fortunately.
however, it was learned here at an early
hour that no assistance was needed, that
the flood was more of temporary incon-
yenience than of actual damage and that
there is and has been no real distress.
1t twould seem that this was one of those
sudden events against which no fore
sight could prepare. Many cities situated
even higher than those of the valleys of
California have been assailed by suddenly
descending waters from mountain water
sheds. While a few thousand dollars
damage all told has been done in Stock
ton by this watery invasion. it is nothing

A DIsGRACEFUL EXHIBITION.

The biting sarcasm of Mayor Wash
burne of Chicago will be. greatly enjoyed
by the people. Since the Chicago author
tiles decided to close the City Hall on St.
Patrick's Day and on Emperor Williams
birthday, the Mayor suggests that there
be fair play and no discrimination, and
that the city offices be closed on all the
fete days of the churches, and on all the
saints days and in honor of all the kings
and queens of earth, and if there is then
any time left in the round of days there
be one short hour set apart for America.
The truth is, it was a shameful, humili-
ating and disgraceful act on the part of
an American municipal body to toady
and crawl as the Chicago Aldermen did
in this matter. If public official recog-
milton is to be made of st. Patrick's Day,
why not with equal reason of st. Georges
day, st. Johns day, the May fest day of
the Germans, the birthday of Queen
Victoria, the birthday of that very good
ruler, the Emperor of Austria, the fete
day of the King of Greece, the ami
versary days of Christian, King of Dem
mark, the father of kings and queens ga
lore, the birthday of the Kings of Italy
and Sweden, to say nothing of the Car
of Russia and Emperor of China and the
Mikado of Japan, all of whom have rep

This spirit of cringing to foreign senti-
ment in our midst is the bane of Ameri-
can politics. If it continues long and
much expands, it will wreck the republic
and convert a free government into con-
tending factions. The self-respecting
German born who has sworn allegiance
to William; the fair-minded Irishman
who esteems his citizenship as inde-
pendent of the traditions of the land of
his nativity; the honest-minded natural
lied, no matter of what nationality, who is
proud of his adopted home and at heart
true American. despises all these vulgar
and sycophantic attempts to curry his
| favor. He abhors the fawning politi-
clan who estimates him as the creature OF
prejudice and national bias, and as an
American citizen superficially only. The
men who took part in the official closing
of public offices in Chicago ought to be
pilloried by name in the press, that all

it is to be repetition of old hotels; big
blocks of brick in the midst of noise and

THERE are cities that may pray 10 be
delivered from their friends. If there is
any considerable development of opposi-
ton to the enthusiasm of the hour over
the manufacturing, the hotel and the sew
age schemes, Sacramento should get upon
itsmarrow bones and pray for funerals. II
is at such critical times in the history ot
cities as Sacramento now encounters
that their citizens should stand close to-
gether, not only touching elbows, but
shoulder to shoulder, SO close that petty
jealousies, chickering's, small ambitions
and silurian doubts and fears will be
trodden in the dust beneath the feet o1
progress.
