White House Rules.


White House Rules.
WASHINGTON. Oct. a-It is not true that tho
new rules at the White House. which virtually
place members OF Congress on O level with
ordinary people whom they wish to see the
President are owing to the poor health OF Mr..
Cleveland. His physical condition Is appar-
emily sound. He only wishes to be released
from the opportunities Of office seekers. who
have Il increased immensely OF late The greater
part have como for department posts and
small appointments. These Mr.. Cleveland has
wisely referred to the heads OF departments.
together with tho matter of promoting. re-
ducing, and dismssinG former servants in the
service In turn. heads OF departments have
with equal wisdom determined to call in heads
Of divisions and Others who ere supposed to
know the degree OF merit Of persons in tho
service only comparatively few Of whom
have either been dismissed already or
marked for such q fate. In this way
barnacles are knocked or and faithful
ness rewarded. and in this way the proper
thing Is done in u political sense. which Is the
main thing. Any one can see that in this way
1t Is possible that considerable part OF the
new comers who are pressing their claims.
will have q chance II they only press hard
enough.
To get rid OF this pressure the new rules
have been instituted. Hoke Smith. for exam
pie. must stand the brunt instead Of Mr.. Cleve-
land. which may be considered as something
in favor OF Hoke so far as It recognizes his
character and increases his power. AS q con-
sequence. lots OF good fellows will flock to him.
That is the proper thing to do.
Secretary Carlisle is greatly besieged. but
he has the inestimable advantage of having
Logan Carlisle to stand of the besiegers.
thanks to the Secretary's resoluteness when
Mr.. Cleveland undertook to turn down the
young man and thus deprive the service OF
one OF the most faithful and capable public
servants OF which it can boast.

The Iron Cage Asks No Questions.

A correspondent writing in defence OF
Davenportism. brings up the old point that
she Federal Interference laws apply to cleo
lions for Federal officers only. not to cleo
lions for State and local Offices: and he in
tmates his opinion that THE SUN does not
clearly understand this important statu-
tory distinction.
We think we understand tho statutory
distinction quito clearly. We also under
STAND that when an unfortunate citizen
has been arrested on suspicion by JOHN l.
DAvxxPoRr. and has been clapped iuto the
Iron Cage. to be discharged after the polls
are closed. that citizen loses his vote. not
only for Presidential electors or Congress-
man. but also for State aud municipal off,
GERS, down even to Coroners aud Aldermen.
It lie popularity Of the Iron Cage that
u takes all 1t gets and asks no questions.
Edoes not inquire Of the DAVENPORT vic
tim introduced to its tender care whether
he was intending to vote for State and mu-
nicipal officers. as we'll as for Federal
officers. 1t does not say to the DAVENPORT
victim. -" Go in peace and vote for Governor
and Mayor and so forth. offices with which
our Federal laws have nothing to do. and
then come back and be locked up 80 that
you cannot vote for Congressman or Presl-
Dental electors" It simply springs its
heavy front door upon the disfranchsed
man. depriving him of his suffrage as a
citizen OF the State and Of the city. not less
than as citizen OF the United States.
That is what makes JOHNNY DAVENPORT
and fellows Of his kind potent auxilaries Of
the Republican machine in State and mu-
nicipal elections. as well as in elections OF
Presidents and Congressman.
Tint is one Of several excellent reasons
why the Democratic Fifty-third Congress
should abolish Davenportism and smash the
Iron Cage.

Mr.. Chamberlain's Ideas.

Scarcely had Mr.. JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN
arrived in this country when he allowed
himself to DO interviewed regarding the
prospects OF home rule and the movement
for tho abolition az tho House OF Lords.
What he said Is worth considering, because.
whatever may be thought of his motives
for deserving Mr.. GLADSTONE. it Is not dis
puted that ne Is the ablest member OF the
Unionist party, with the possible exception
Of Lord SALISBURY. Moreover. he is n
younger and physically stronger man than
the Tory chief. and. therefore. is more
likely to play leading part in the future.
MIR. CHAMBERLAIN is convinced. he says.
that Mr.. GLADSTONE will be beaten on his
next appeal to the country. When. how
ever. we examine the ground for this con-
viction we find that it consists in the be-
lief that the Irish members will not leave
the devising Of political strategy to the
Liberal ommander-in-chief. They will in

the principal. II not the sole. issue OF the
campaign. This seems to us tantamount
TO an assertion that Irish patriots are pur-
blind and plg-headed. which they have
never shown themselves to be. They are
perfectly aware that the last general
election was won on the Newcastle plat
form. In which. while home rule un-
doubtedly constituted a conspicuous plank.
1t was by no means the only plank.
The coalition between Irish National
lists and English Radicals Is one in
volving reciprocal concessions, and the
former. having seen Home Rule bill
carried through the House of Commons.
are ready To render Quid pro quo. They
may possibly request Mr. GLADSTONE to
send up the bill to the Lords a second timo

meanwhile, they will faithfully cooperate

We have read with some attention Mr..
FERDINAND WARDS contribution which the Her.
aid printed yesterday. We have avery strong
impression that our esteemed contempo-
rary has been imposed upon. In the first place.
the article contains nothing that the Herald
led it's readers to expect that 1t would contain.
There is no disclosure OF fact in It that both
the Herald and THE Sun had not long ago made
public. 1t amounts simply to an announce
mont by WARD that he is about to print a book
in which he means to tell all he knows about
the firm OF GRANT l. WARD: and. II we are not
greatly mistaken. 1t conveys very strong hint
to various persons to call on Mr.. WARD and
secure the earliest possible opportunity Of

In Brooklyn.

A Mayor OF Brooklyn Is one OF the officers
TO he chosen this year, anG from present
appearances the local contest will be tri-
angular. The Democratic candidate will
have the support OF the sr!''ndidly equipped
and continuously trium. hant brooklyn
Democracy. The Republicans OF Brooklyn,
who have recently been reorganized, after
many reverses and mishaps. on what is
known as the Philadelphia plan. will make
their nomination; and every Republican
between tho raging Gowanus Bay and the
Rurgling Newtown Creek. will be expected
to step forward. on the Philadelphia plan,
and cast ballot accordingly.
After the two parties have named their
men, there will be a period OF excitement
among the fragmentary. miscellaneous,
non-sociable. and promiscuous opponents
OF both organizations, and. indeed. OF all
organizations. especially successful ones.
They also will make a nomination, and the
people will be enabled to choose between
the three without danger OF error for
want OF knowledge. The last time there
was n contest on these lines in Brooklyn
was in 1885. when the Democratic candidate
received close to $4,000 votes. the Republi-
can candidate (who has since, by the way.
become Democrat) received $1,000. and
the Independent reform candidate. 3d.
called. obtained $4,000. leading the Prohi-
bition and Socialist candidate handsomely.
Prior to 1885 an area OF so-called nom
partisan, irresponsible nominations pre-
vailed in Brooklyn. as it has appeared
occasionally elsewhere. The experiment
Of such nominations. however promising
at first. is always abandoned after
trial but each large American city has at
some time submitted to this ordeal. some
what as nearly every individual has been
subject in youth to the measles. Since tho
complete overthrow Of the nom partisans
in 1886 mayoralty battles in Brooklyn have
been straight-out contests between the two
parties. with the Democrats voting for the
Democratic nominee. and the Republicans
for the Republican nominee, and the former
victorious. The Democratic plurality in
the last contest was $500.
Tho determination Of the two parties in
Brooklyn to nominate candidates on &C.
knowledged lines of political difference. will
enable the voters to express their preference
in plain and matter-of-fact manner. II they
approve OF the present Democratic Admin
istration. and desire its continuance. they
will vote the Democratic ticket. II they
desire a return to Republican rule. such as
Brooklyn has had from time to time in
recent years. they will vote the Republican
ticket. It Ia fair alternative, and one
which every good citizen can decide for
himself. Meanwhile the opponents and re-
vilers OF both organizations and OF honest
and genuine craftsmanship in administration.
will flock by themselves on the outside.
and We hope that they will get out their
full vote, whatever it may be.

| Radical support In regard to oil OF the non

Mr.. GLADSTONE to 90 10 the people on the
home rule issue alone. BY such tactics
tho Tories would cnly DO doing what they
werc persuaded by Mr.. D1sRAED1 to do In
1868; but Lord SALISBURY disnpproved Of
that transaction. and, 80 long rs he lives,
1t will mover be repeated.
The talk about abolishing the House OF
Lords, Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN dismisses as alb
surd. That House. he says, can never be
abolished, except by revolution. or by an
act OF suicide on its own part. Well, We
have had examples Of two kinds Of revolu-
ton one in which the people arrays itself
against both the Crown and the privileged
aristocracy. and another in which the
Crown and the people combine against the
mobiles. We saw the FIRST kind exempli1ed
in the days Of the Long Parliament, when
the same House Of Commons which sup
pressed the monarchy extnguished also
the House OF Lords. We had an instance OF
the second kind in the French States
General LOS, WHth boUIS ANl.
decreed that the representatives OF the
mobiles and the clergy should not sit as
separate bodies. but should be merged with
the third estate in a single assembly. That
is fate which. II the English monarchy Is
alive to its own interest, may one day over
take tho Lords. spiritual and temporal.
who, at present. form n separate chamber.
As to obtaining the consent OF the Lords to
the extinction Of their hereditary privileges
there would be nothing unprecedented or
impracticable about that. It was very
great French noble who. after the States
General had been transformed into the Ma
tional Assembly. proposed the suppression
Of all the hereditary privileges OF his
order. Moreover. the Crowns constitu-
tional right to create new peers Involves
the power of swapping tho present major
ity OF the upper House. by an influx Of new
members, every one Of whom should be
pledged to the abolition Of the chamber. In
a word, there is no lack OF ways. constitu-
tional as we'll as revolutionary. by which
the House OF Lords could be annikilated.
the moment the people Of England make up
their minds to do it. No one knows those
methods better than Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN;
and we may add that no one. IL he, instead
of Mr.. GLADSTONE. happened to be leader
OF the Liberal party. would apply them
with more memorable rigor.

The World and Judge Maynard.

We observe that the treacherous New
York World is resting its opposition TO the
Democratic candidate for Judge of the
Court OF Appeals chiefly, II not exclusively.
upon the New York Bar Associations So
called Investigation OF Judge MAYNARD in
March Of last year.
While that investigation was in progress.
the New York World expressed decided
opinion Of the Bar Association as n court OF
professional honor and a guardian OF the
dignity OF the bench. We quote an edi-
torial article which appeared in the treach-
srous World on March TO- 1899. headed " Bar
Association Spasms:"
-rhs Bar Association of this city seems curiousy
seastrueted to its moral sense and Its emotional

and verdict has been rendered by higher
tribunal than the Bar Association described
