NEWSPAPER OPINION.
needing Kansas Az II Again
PhnAdslphia Times.

Bleeding Kansas At II Again.
PhnAd slphia Times.
Bleeding Kansas is at it again. A stu
alton embodying all the preliminary con-
ditions of civil war has developed at
Topeka, where the Republican House of
Representatives has driven out the Pop
ulist House by force and the governor
has called out the militia for the purpose
of putting the Populist House back. The
fight has some likeness to the historic
Buckshot war In Pennsylvania but that
was long while ago and it might have
been thought that better way Of set
tling political disputes would have come
into use by this time. The Republicans,
when in power in the nation, set 80 many
examples of lawlessness that when the
Populists got on top in Kansas they bet
tered their instruction. and then the
others would not submit That Is the
whole story. It is impossible to say just
what the end will be, though 1t is un.
likely there will be actual lighting. In
some way or another the dispute will be
settled peacefully Meantime it Is a
disgrace to Kansas and TO the country.

NATURALLY, while the proposition to
abolish politics from the police force is
being discussed, the partisans on the
force are on their good behavior They
are like school-boys quiet and docile, and
even Industrious. in the presence Of the
teacher; but liable to become imps incar-
nate when some anxious mother calls the
teacher out to confde to him that the
study of algebra ruins her hopeful's eye
sight, superinduces pain in his back
and produces general and threatening
symptoms of an early death. As that
same boy viii fight. play football and eat
pie with the strongest and toughest Of
the LOT, so the sweet.voiced, coaxing par
tisans will break loose at the polls at the
head Of a band Of disorderly negroes and
drive the election officers away. Like
the school boys they win bear watching.

CLEYELLND'S EMBARRASSMENT.
whitney's Declination Followed by
Those OF Several others-Mr. Bayard's
Suggestions.

Those OF Several Others-Mr. Baynrd'a
Suggestions.
The New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press writes as follows:
Whitney 8 dsolination cost the President
elect more embarrassment than his
friends then realized. 1t is new known that
Mr.. Cleveland soon after.election had at
least four places in his Cabinet and
probably fve decided upon, SO that he
regarded the formation Of his Official
family as the lightest Of the tasks
which would be imposed upon him.
He turned first to Mr.. Phelps, his
former minister to Great Britain, as q
possible selection for the State Depart
ment. The post was not offered TO Mr..
Phelps, perhaps because Mr.. Cleveland
was assured that the ex minister would
feel compelled TO decline It. He had one
sufficient reason for such declination in
his present relations TO the gov eminent
as counsel In the Bering Sea negotia
tions. But If he had been able to offer
such q good excuse, IL Is thought here
that Mr. Phelps would have declined
anyway.
Then Mr. Bayard was summoned to
this city but the most intimate OF Mr.

able yet to learn whether the STATE
Department was offered to its former
chief. or whether Mr., Cleveland simply
sought to obtain from Mr.. Bayard sug
gestions which would fix his attention
upon some other man.
While tho Bayard conferences wer
progressing there came an intimatiol
straight from men who managed Mr.
Clevelands campaign that possibly Judg
Gresham might take a Cabinet post
This announcement was surprise l.
Mr. Cleveland himself. He told one 0
his friends that he had never considers
Judge Gresham In that relation, and tina
the report was unauthorized.
If unauthorized it was sent forth witt

SENATOR HIeeINs has frequently
offered amendments to bills, which either
killed themselves or the bills. But on
Tuesday he came up with an amendment
which is apparently not suicidal or patri-
cidal More and better still he made 3
speech which we are able to commend.
We take pleasure in fastening to spread
ourselves at full length in this oasis Of
an interminable desert Of partisanship
and hustling place-hunting industry
The debate was on the bill to grant q
loan Of United States bonds TO the Nicara.

amendment providing that none OF the
bonds shall be delivered to the canal
company until 1t shall appear to the sat.
isfsction Of the President Of the United
States that the work can be completed
at cost not exceeding the cash proceeds
of the 800, ,0OO 900 Of bonds, and
that board Of Eve engineers shall be
appointed TO report to the President as
to tho feasibility and cost of the canal
and as to its probable tonnage and reve-
nue.. He addressed the Senate in ad
vocacy Of his amendment, and in criti
cism Of the whole canal problem. H,
was in favor OF a Nicaragua canal, but
desired that It should be under the direct
supervision and management Of govern
ment officers. There Is nothing start

or the speech. We are satisfied that Mr.
Bach did not suggest either: hence botl
are dignifed and sensible. But thu

In considering the appointment Of
Judge Gresham to be Secretary Of State,
II must not be forgotten that the place
was offered to several Democrats, in
cluding Delaware's two great men, who.
for various reasons declined. Judge
Gresham, though poor man, and having
life position on the bench, did not
hesitate. He actually makes a sacrifice
to 90 into the Cabinet Of a Democrat.
Judge Gresham is too conscientious, too
patriotic and too sensible to put himself
in an awkward position. He has as keen
sense Of propriety, as high sense OF
duty as any Of his critics. If he aud
Cleveland have satisfied themselves that
this thing is right, the country will
likely come to 1t afterwards. Cleyeland'i
sense heretofore has amounted to pre-
science; his intuitlons in politics are al
