CLOSE OF TIE CAMPAIGN.

II has almost come to be political axiom
in this country that, in ''of years, y the party
in power suffers defeat at the polls. The pop
MARTY of this axiom may consist in the com
fort it affords to the opposition; but there IS
also a certain degree Of truth in it, founded
on the wen-recognized principle that an ag-
gressive policy. set in motion by party IN
power, always generates a proportionate de-
gree Of opposition, even within party limits.
Counting On these general principles, borne
out by experience, the party OF opposition IN
national politics expects, on Tuesday, TO be
partially returned 10 power.
General political conditions, at least those
growing out OF the acts OF the Democratic
partv. do not. however, favor this expected
political revolution. Local conditions, State
political quarrels. and minor influences Of
this sort may work against the Democratic
cause. but otherwise there is no good reason
for the belief, so energetcally expressed IN
certain quarters, that there Will be Repub-
Hcan landslide this year.
Why should popular verdict be returned
against the party in power? 1t was commits
stoned by the people to perform certain
work which, through circumstances entirely
beyond the control Of the party majority in
The popular branch Of Congress, it was una
bic completely and satisfactorily to perform.
In 1890 a popular reaction against high tariff
ism set in. This reaction lasted until 1892,
when it resulted in the return to power for
the first time since the war Of an administra-
tion Democratic in ali its branches. Why
should popular opinion be reversed in I894?
The Republican reply to this question is
that the Democratic party has brought ad-
versity upon the country, and that its policy
is running industry. II this argument has had
any weight at all it is because fiction is more
plausible than truth. 1t is at least as good an
argument on the other side that hard times
are the elimination Of a long period Of pro
tective legislation, which the corrective legis-
Iation Of the Democratic party has not mad
time 10 remedy.
On Tuesday the same old battle Of the peo-
pie against protected monopolies and trusts
against the pretensions and the aggrandize-
ment Of the money power, will be fought.
This battle, The TIMES hopes and believes,
will be won by the people. because the cause
OF the people deserves to win. We see 10
reason why the people should reverse their
verdict OF 1890 and 1892. There's every rea-
son why they should stand by that verdict,
and strengthen the hands Of the party IN
power for the purpose Of carrying out reform
legislation which can never be obtained from
the party now in opposition.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM AT HOME.

The Importance Of the interview Of Presi-
dent Cleveland and the Commissioners Of the
District relative TO the application Of the
civil service law to the municipal Offices of the
District Of Columbia can hardly be overesti-
mated. It may be regarded as foreshadowing
a radical change in the policy governing ap-
pointments TO District Offices.
This policy has been in the past, and at
present is, a sort Of happy -go-lucky. hit-or-
miss affair. 1t was a question, not Of right
and justice, not OF qualifications. not Of local
claims, but OF pull" The man with the
most influence. whether he hailed rom Bung-
town or Mossville, was always more certain
OF appointment than he who had resided here
for years. was identified with the local inter
asts, or paid taxes on property.
g. 1t may be assumed that after the President
issues his order placing the Offices Of the Dis
trict government under the operations Of the
civil service act, the principle Of home rule
will obtain in the matter Of appointments,
and the applications of bona 1ide residents
take precedence over those Of outsiders. In
der existing methods Congressman have too
frequently traded upon the official necessities
OF the District Commissioners, and in return
for votes favorable to some measure Of benefit
to the District have managed to squeeze in
some political dependent, for whom they
were unable TO provide otherwise, to the
detriment Of some local applicant who under
other conditions might have been successful.
Just as the principle Of home rule, to which
both political parties are pledged, should be
exemplifed at the Capital Of the nation, so the
municipal government Of the city should be a
model in every respect to others. II the merit
system and all that goes with ii is to dominate
the public service, 1t surely ought TO extend to
the District Of Columbia. which is under the
immediate and exclusive jurisdiction Of the
general government. For this reason the
mooted Presidential order viii be an i'm
portant link in the chain which cannot but
strengthen the entire administration Of public
AFFAIRS
Whatever enlarges and strengthens the
operation Of civil service reform tends, OF
course, to a better. purer, and more efficient
administration OF the public affairs. In this
aspect also, therefore, the innovation Is de-
sirable.
So far as the citizens of the District are
concerned, they are heartily in sympathy with
the change. as win be seen from the interviews
which are published in our news columns
this morning. They feel that they have all
TO gain, and nothing whatever TO lose by it,

COACHNAN HOWRRO FREE.

Secretary Carlisle Game to the Conclusion
that He Ought Not to Be Deported
Secretary Carlisle has rendered decision
directing that the case against Howard, Mr..
Morton's coachman, be dismissed.
Mr.. Carlisle examined the evidence taken
before the board of special inquiry in the
case of John J. Howard, and the reports of
the board and the commissioner of immgra-
ton at Ellis Island, n. T., and reached the
conclusion that Howard comes within the
first proviso of section 5 of the act approved
February 26, 1885, and, therefore, ought not
to be deported.
This information was communicated to
Supt. Stump, who was notified also that the
decision of Secretary Window, March II,
1890, and Assistant Secretary Spauldlng,
April 80. 1891, that immigrants who come
here under employment strictly as domestic
or personal servants, cannot be lawfully ad-
mitted into the country, or permitted to re-
main here unless they actually come with
their employers. are not approved and will
not hereafter be regarded as precedents by
the immigration officials

PEACE FOR HIS PEOPLE.

The first utterances Of Russia's new ruler
as such have awakened pleasurable emotions
in Europe. They tend to give assurance that
he does not harbor any purpose to reverse
the policy of his father upon whom, by almost
common consent, the cognomen of ''preserva-
tor Of Europes peace has been bestowed.
Judging from his words he seems to appreci-
ate fully the fact that empires grow more pow
erful by the victories of peace than by those
Of war
One remark, however, that is said to have
fallen from his lips recently, is calculated to
give more satisfaction than his pledges Of
peace. because its tenor appeals to common
sympathy of all nations. Gar Nicholas is re-
ported to have said;
Il am pious Christian, but my belief IN
the Saviour does not entitle me to persecute
others on account of their faith"
To all denominations IN Russia outside OF
the pale OF the Greek Catholic Church these
words must convey the blessed hope that In
the future they will not be bounded by that
-reh-fanatic. Pobiedonostzef. the procurator
Of the Holy Synod, the head of the Russian
Church. and. under Alexander III, the most
powerful. most persistent, and most pitiless
prosecutor Of all not of his faith. To none,
however, will they bring such comfort as to
the Jews who, for years past, have suffered
unspeakable misery.
How the Jews in Russia have lain under
the han of hatred; what outrages have been
heaped upon them; to what cruelties and tor
a.
have been beaten, robbed, murdered; how
families have been torn asunder, ruthlessly,
and without the shadow of an excuse; how
they have been driven from home and coun-
try, and forced to seek shelter and sustenanct
among strangers-all this is recent history.
In no country has its import been more fully
understood than here, in the United States
where not only sympathy, but substantial aid
has been given to the unfortunates, and
where thousands of them have found {
refuge
1t follows. therefore, that in no other coun
try. probably, will the assurances of Nichola:
| II. conveyed in the sentence quoted above
| cause more gratincation-not merely among
| the Jews. but among all citizens. The tradi
tional friendship of the United States ant
Russia has been unmarried by any incident
save the abhorrence with which our people
have looked upon the senseless persecution
| OF the Russian Jews. If, therefore. the new
! Cars internal policy shall embrace th'
amelioration of the condition of this class o
his subjects, it will only serve to still furthe
! tighten the bonds of amlty between the two
/ nations.
Not only the peace of Europe, but tht
peace Of ali his people Nicholas II will pre-
serve If he treads the path which his words
