REBUKE TO THE BOSSES.

REBUKE TO THE BOSSES.
The result of the recent elections was
of unusual significance. 1t was a dec
laration of the independence of the
people of ring rule-a notice to the
''macnine" men everywhere that they
may as well go out of business, for their
occupation is forever gone. Tammany
received blow from which it can never
recover. 1t was completely routed in
both city and state. Boss Croker and
Boss Mclaughlin and Boss McKane
were repIdiated with an emphasis that
shows that the people are in earnest,
and will no longer be trified with. They
may consent to follow the lead of the
machine when it works in the right
direction, but whenever it is employed
to serve the purposes of corrupt and
selfish men, whenever it becomes the
engine of those who would destroy
good government, it must be over
thrown.
Thorough organization is necessary to
the success of political parties, Just as
organization and discipline are neces-
sary in successful army. Some must
be found capable of directing the forces
into the proper channels-to assign to
each Individual member of the party
his proper place of duty. There must
be captains of tens, of hundreds and of
thouSands-captains, cOlonelS and gen
erals-all working in harmony for a
common purpose-ihe greatest good to
the greatest number. They must es-
TEEN the interests Of the whole people
as of greater Importance than any indi-
vidual advantage, and when any man
becomes SO regardless of the public
concern as to endaaVor to use the par
tisan machinery to subserve the ambi-
tionS of any man OF clique, he must be
called to account.
Tammany has i'll the past accom-
plished much good as we'll as evil. 1t
was the most compact and potent po-
litical organization in the country. 1t
men politically. Some of its represent
atives have been among the wiSest Of
our statesmen, and have honored their
country no less than they have hon
ored the organization. But of late
years it has assumed dictatorial airs,
has sought TO ruin where it could
not rule, has striven to secure the
spoils of Office more that to care for the
responsibilities it imposed. 1t has be-
come less patriotic as its power in
creased, and was greatly in need of ad-
monition. The rebuke administered
should prove of lasting benefit.
The days of "bossism" in the Demo
cratic party are over. The people are
themselves the bosses. They will honor
men with nominal leadership as long as
these men prove faithful, but will dis
miss them from service whenever they
shall pay more regard to their own
selfish ends than to the objects for
which the party is organized Demo
crats are Independent and patriotic.
They will not submit to domination
they will repudiate bosses. The party
was formed by the people and for. the
people. and no cabal Of men can use it
for their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT to the
injury of the community
This is the lesson of the late elections
in nutshell. The verdict of the 7th of
November was not rebuke of Democ-
! racy; it was rebuke of the bosses, who
thought to bend the organization to
their own venal purposes. The rebuke
administered was timely and necessary,
and will be productive OF the best re-
suits.

one who is opposed to it. These coll

a speedy removal of all Republicans who

Innocent Will Not Quail.

PrlSOn MlrrOr.
The st. Paul GLOBE says: "The
blackness of the shadow of death has
terrors to the Christian. not unmiti-
gated by hope. yet none the less real,
and he shrinks from the approach of
the final moment" This may apply to
protesting Christians whose consciences
as the last hour approaches arraign
them for willful neglect of duty. To
them the possibilities of the hereafter
look black and terrifying. But to that
Christian soul who has gone through
life honestly, earnestly living up to the
light that is within. there is no terror
when the door Of the Judgment hall
begins to open. Assured of the prom
ises of the Lord whom he has faithfully
tried to serve, he knows that there is
Joy and peace forever. AS in death so
in life. Arrest an honest. innocent man
and take him before an upright Judge.
and he will not quail. Arrest any sup
posed Christian man, whose whole life
has not only been pious but an actual
fraud, and he will tremblingIy confront
justice. not knowing which of his black
crows has come home to roost.

posures, make it necessary that this
congress take hold of and readjusG the
entire system.
We insist that this should be done in
the Interests Of the old soldiers them
selves. Every one Of them now shares
the odium cast OH the name by the acts
OF those whose greed swamped their
soldierly honor, and who have subverted
the pension roll from its original pur-
pose.
Any action taken by congress should
be with the purpose, secondary perhaps,
but essential, to so establish the system
of pensions as to remove it from all po-
litical bias. The OLD soldier has been
long enough the trading stock of the Re-
publican party. 1t has offered pensions
with ever-increasing prodigality, preten-
tiously as charity, but actually as bribes
for votes. The pensions should be put
beyond such use or the possibility of it.
This will not be the case as long as one
party tries to see how eXtravagant it
can be and another advocates either JUS
tice or restriction. Experience has
shown only too plainly that the old
soldier is not more unSelfish than the
ordinary run of men.
After looking at the question from all
sides. we are of the opinion that a just
execution of the dependent act is impos-
sible. Its purpose to extend aid to those
needing it will be defeated under any
administration of the law. as it has been
so far. Pensions based on service dis
ability will not reach such cases. The
Grand Army repudiates with indigna
ton. the idea that pensions are charities.
1t claims that they are but Just pay
ments for services rendered and made
quately compensated at the time.
We have come to the conclusion that
the only remedy which will be adequate
will be the service pension, making the
monthly rate of payment proportioned
to the length of service. Such bill
was vetoed by Grant on the ground of
its cost, but that was at time
when the pension roll was but about
twenty millions. and before it had
sWelled to hundred and fifty millions.
We believe if the service were sub
stituted for the disability and dependent
pensions, the cost would not be any
greater than the present cost, while it
would effectually take the pension issue
out of politics. 1t would-and this is
not the least valuable Of its effects-re-
move the incentive to and premium on
fraud and perjury which all pension
acts since the arrears act have been ef-
fectlve promoters or. 1t might not make
men honest, but it would remove a
strong temptation to be dishonest. 1t
would vastly simplify procedure. The
pension agent, that active microbe of
I dishonesty, would he eliminated. He
would no longer fatten Oh the old SOL
dier. No long delays in getting testi-
mony would be involved in the process.
The army rolls would show the length
of service. and the amount of pension
would be mere matter of calculation
from them. No other proof would have
to be supplied than that of identity. We
believe that this Is the only practical
solution of question which has only
grown uglier and more irritating with
its age. We believe the country would
accept it with a feeling of relief and
submit to the burden willingly.

The reports of burglary, robbery and
assault, murders. thefts and outrages
given by some of the st. Paul papers as
occurring in that city are simply appall-
ing. In the name of common decency,
if there is any truth in these reports,
the mayor of that place ought to sup

should be necessary to appoint every

BECAUSE President Cleveland chose
to visit New York for the purpose of
attending to little private business
without informing all the world OF his
purpose, the Washington correspond
ents jumped to the conclusion that he
had gone there for surgical treatment,
and heralded the statement abroad that
he is in precarious state of health. The
fact of the matter is that Mr.. Cleveland
is as free from disease today as he has
ever been. and has no need of either
surgical or medical treatment. In fact.
his physical condition alarms only his
enemies-those who desire his removal
before the accomplishment of his mis-
sion to reform the tariff and establish a.
permanent form of efficient service in
the governmental offices. The silly
statements probably reflect the wishes
OF those who are opposed to his policy.

BUSINESS possibilities.

If congress will do tho reasonably fair
thing in handling the financial question
at this session and not take moro than
two months Or SO to give the country
something definite, there will be pretty
good times for the west this fall. Wheat
will be wheat during the coming year and
corn will be corn. There is decided
shortage in the foreign wheat crop, and
this, together with the decrease in the
United States, has doubtless served to run
up the price cents bushel since the
first of the month. The crop in this
country is estimated at $50 million
bushels, or just about enough to supply
home demand and leave safe reserve.
Our wheat is now going abroad at the
rate of 20,000,000 bushels per month. Our
supply shows a heavy decrease over last
year, and very soon there must either be
a big rise in tho price or else the
exports must drop to less than one
half their present volume. The
foreign demand is such that the latter
will scarcely occur, 80 that the farmer of
tile west may reasonably hope for large
advance in prices ere many weeks. AS
for corn, the government crop report puts
the crop about 1,7OO,OOO,OOO bushels this
year, and increase of 10O,OO0,0o0 bushels
over last year. This will be good news
for the cattle and sheep feeders and will
permit the range men to get into Kansas
and Nebraska, Missouri and Iowa and
divide profits with the corn raiser.
Now if congress will, as seems proba-
BILE at this time, settle the fate of silver
as money, and Hill, German, ct. al, will
stick to their proposition to aid Repub-
licans in preventing any tampering with
the tariff and the wool industries Of the
country, then indeed will the west be
strictly in it.
