that the new men could not make one

easily made two. The law and the sys-

idents Arthur and Cleveland, with most
of the members of their respective Cabi-
nets, gave the system almost unquali-
fled approval, and that General Harri-

COMMENTING ON the fact that Vice
President Stevenson's recommendations
for office have been conspicuously ig-
nored by Mr.. Cleveland. Washington
correspondent says:
1t begins TO look as if his fate would be
that of the late Vice President Hendricks
hoped that Mr.. Stevenson will bear his dis
appointments muCh better than Mr.. Hen.
dricks did. Ii Is q tradition in Indiana
politics that Mr.. Hendrickss fatal ILLNESS
was precipitated by his disappointment in
not being able TO secure from Grover Cleve-
land the appointment of postmaster in his
own city.
The correspondent is in error. Mr..
Hendricks did secure the appointment
of postmaster in this city, though he
only succeeded in doing so after most
determined fight. in which he strained
his personal and political influence to
the utmost. After that he had very lit
tie from the administration. He was
too proud and self-respecting a man to
subject himself more than was absolutely
necessary to what experience taught
him was the certain prospect of being
snubbed by the mushroom statesman to
whom accident and fate had given the
power.
If Vice President Stevenson values
his self-respect and peace of mind, he
will initiate Mr.. Hendricks and preserve
both by letting his friends know that he
has no influence with Mr.. Cleveland. 1t
takes man of some breadth and mag
nanimity not to be jealous of one whom
the people have placed close by his side,
and whom the Constitution makes his
direct successor in the event of his
death, and this feeling is intensified
when the occupant of the higher posi-
tion feels that his imaginary rivals really
his superior in mental equipment and
political experience. 1t would have to
be a very small Vice President of whom
Mr.. Cleveland would not be jealous.

NOTES FROM HAWAII.

Weary of the Clevelsnd- Gresham Policy.

SAN Francisco. June 26.-The steamer
China. which arrived here to-day from
Honolulu. brought the following letter.
dated June 10.
AS each successive steamer from San
Francisco arrives at Honolulu, bringing no
news that Hawaii's affairs will soon be set
tied by the United States the disappoint-
meEt that permeates annexationiets and
royalists alike becomes keener. Both
parties are anxious to have the vital Ques-
tiors or stable government decided as soon
as possible. The long strain is beginning
to tell on business and society. Merchants
are complaining of dull times. but are
hanging on hopefully. while for the first
time In Honolulu social lines are beginning
to be drawn. In this small community poli-
tics heretofore have never Interfered with
social life.

JUSTIFIED BY EXPERIENCE,

In letter on the pension question, a
well-known Republican in this State
goes out of his way to denounce the
present civil-service system of the
United States. The Journal does not
believe that he speaks the sentiment of
the thoughtful and progressive Repub-
licans of Indiana; for, whatever may
have been the objection to taking
thousands of minor Off ces out of partisan
dictation and placing them upon the
merit system when the civil-service law
was enacted, there is good reason to be-
lieve that it has now very generally
ceased to exist. When General Grant.
during his fret term, made himself the
first civil-service reformer by advo-
eating a competitive system. he found
the active political forces of the country
decidedly against him. To-day q
of the country would not have all the
subordinate positions in the public
service become the prizes of those who
could WELD the most influence. regard
less of fitness. Take the postal service.
Before the civil-service law was enacted
it was found necessary to require GER
tain degree of accuracy in postal
distribution by practical tests, and
clerks who failed were set aside, to the
great indignation of those who claimed
the positions because they had hustled
for the party. Suppose, under the old
system, with the advent of Mr.. Cleve-
land last March, there had been rad
zeal change of the thousands of postal
clerks-what would have been the re-
sult2 The entire decentralization of the
railway postal system for months, until
the new men could learn their duties
Thousands of bags of mail which are
now distributed On the cars would be
dumped into the leading postoffices
to be sorted by clerks who. in
turn, could have no practical knowl-
edge of their duties. If there
had been change in administration in
1880, before the passage of the civil
service law. just that sort of thing
would have happened After it's pas
sage public opinion would not tolerate
tho decentralization of the postal service
which was begun under Mr.. Cleveland,
