and distribution of the bread.

distributing stations.
| AS was to have been expected the de-
mand on The News Bread Fund has
| grown greater daily. Today there are
seven distributing stations and one
| more is wanted - at Richmond
street. The demand to have
the distribution divided up has overtaxed
the distributing force at the command
of THE NEWS. And as tTHE NEWS
has added from day to day new stations
80 that the bread might be placed most
convenient to the weak and sick to
whom il mainly goes. The stations are
divided into TWO groups, each group to be
served on alternate days.

and the contributions all go into BREAD.

Something All Can Rejoice At.

There is one result Of the election over
which all good citizens can rejoice, whether
they be Democrats or Republicans.
The defeat Of Populism is as much tri-
umph Of true and genuine Democracy as of
Republicanism. The victory over the vicious
alliance with Populism made by GROVER
CLEVELAND, and of which one fruit was the
Internal income tax suggested by him, is
victory for sound principles of government
great enough TO afford compensation for
even the otherwise overwhelming defeat of
the Democratic party. The greatest danger
is averted. Populism will be powerless in
the next Congress.
OF right, DAVID B. HILL ought to have es-
capped the popular condemnation OF that
pernicious socialistic device, against which
he fought singly among the Democrats of
the Senate, with a splendid courage and an
unfiinching consistency Of principle; but
even Senator HILL was dragged down by the
tremendous weight Of the popular distrust
of the Democracy, which he had labored in
vain to save from such perversion and be
trayal. HILL was submerged for the mo
ment by the food in which WILSON, the
author Of the iniquitous measure, was
uAOHhCu'
The circumstances of the campaign in this
State prevented HILL from reaping the har-
vest OF popular approval to which he was so
we'll entitled. Against his will, he was
made the Democratic leader in a canvass
where he had to bear the load of the sins
against the people and against the
Democratic party committed by CLEvE-
LAND and ratified by Democratic Congress
SO called. He sacrificed himself at a
time when his clear discernment foresaw,
and after he had fOretOld from his place
in the Senate, the popular condemnation
which would be visited on such treachery TO
Democratic principles and 10 all princi-
Piles essential to sound government. He
sacrificed himself in order that he might
preserve his party from disruption, if not
annihilation, in this State
Since, in bis self-abnegation, he had con
sented to be the standard bearer Of tine
Democratic party, he could not escape from
the disgraceiul record made in the White
House and at the Capitol, for which the
Democratic party WAS justly held responsible
by the people. He had fought single handed
and with indomitAble courage and PertinRcity
20 prevent the infamy and, alone among the
Democrats Of the Senate, had repudisted il
at tho end but he could not blot it out as
the Democratic record. He could not
take advantage Of his own consistent
The sun., 1894-11-08

On Saturday the Hon. GROVER CLEvE-
LAND, feeling, no doubt. that he had not suf-
ficiently encouraged his party by showing
an absolute want of interest in its fortunes,
proceeded to stimulate its enthusiasm by
ordering considerable extension Of the
classified civil service. A cry Of JOY went up
from the entire Mugwump squad at once.
The Mugwumps began to revive their
old confidence in the Hermit Presidents in
fallibility. They were as happy in read
ing the order as Mr.. CLEVELAND must have
been in making it. To keep active Demo-
Gratis out of Office is the aim of these worthy
mates. This cannot he done in all cases,
but the civil service rules will at least serve
to admit and shelter many Republicans and
Populists, and perhaps an occasional Prohibit
zionist. IL is due to Mr.. CLEVELAND, however,
and to his well-known affectionate interest
in the Democratic party, to say that common
laborers are still without the pale OF the
classified service. A Democratic common
laborer may even now get a job at the clas
sifed Custom Houses without having to pass
an examination; provided, of course, there
is a vacancy, and provided his labor has not
been political.
civil service reform in its latest extension is
the subsection OF messengers, assistant mes
sengers, and watchmen in the departments
at Washington to the civil service rules.
We presume that Mr.. ROOSEVELT will in
troduce special examination for these
officials. Perhaps he will require an essay
on the duties and conversational powers of
angeles and the phyldr in Greek tragedy
Trolley and cable cars are so common now
that feet and legs may no longer be neces-
sary to messenger, and literary watch
man can keep an unlettered dog to watch
for him while he pursues his lucubrations.
I'VE reAffirm the declaration of the DEM
ocratic National Convention of 1876 for
the reform of the civil service" said the
Democratic National Convention of 1899
land we call for the honest enforcement of
all laws regulating the same" The Civil
Service act was yet seven years in the future
in 1870, and the Democrats of 1899 neither
anticipated nor desired any increase of the
classified service Still, doubtless Mr. CLEvE-
LAND has thought to forestall their wishes
and treat them to little surprise. Popu-
lists will be good enough to take notice that
while their direct appointment to Office by
Mr.. CLEVELAND, deeply AS he sympathizes
with their views, might cause irritation,
they are as liable to get their names on the
eligible list as Democrats are, or even as
Republicans. Thus Mr. CLEVELAND may
have succeeded in pleasing by his orders of
Saturday the Republicans, the POpulists
and the Mugwumps, a greater number of
persons, we venture to say, than he ever
pleased before or ever will please again
until March 4, 1897.

Tho same Thing Everywhere.

The shocking revelations OF the LExow
committee have filled and embittered the
minds OF New Workers in their preparation
for the late election.
Yet there was no LExow committee in the
State Of New Jersey, which has elected
solid Republican delegation TO Congress.
Eight Republican Congressman will go to
Washington after the fourth Of next March
from New Jersey, the State which alone OF
all Northern constituencies remained Demo
cratic throughout the civil war
Outside Of the metropolis there was no
LExow committee in the State Of New
York, hut, excepting the five Democrats
elected here by small majorities, New York
has chosen only Republicans for Congress.
There was no LExow committee in Ohio,
where four Democratic Congressman are
elected out of twenty-one. and where the
State goes Republican by 10000.
There was no LExow committee in Penn
sylvania, now under Democratic Gov
ernor, but which elects only four Democratic
Congressman out Of twenty-eight, and
makes new Republican Governor by
majority Of 900 900 OF thereabouts.
There was no LExow committee in Ten
nessee, which elects four Republicans to
Congress; or in Kentucky, which elects four
Republicans also; or in Iowa, which.
havin5 eleven Congressman to choose
in all. elected eleven Republicans; or
in Kansas, which elected seven Republi-
cans; or in Michigan, which, having one
more Congressman to elect than Iowa,
embraced its opportunity by electing
one more Republican Congressman than
Iowa: or in Connecticut, whose four
Congressman are also uniformly Republican;
or in Delaware, another Democratic State,
which takes its Congressman at Large from
the Republican party; or in West Virginia,
which also for four Congressman chose four
Republicans, including one for whose benefit
it rejected the Hon. WILLIAM L. WILSON,
the father Of the present dishonorable and
anti Democratic Tariff bill, by q majority of
nearly 1900.
1t Is to be said of the LExow committee
that no legislative investigation in New
York ever revealed such vices or achieved
its revelations with more impressive effect.
Nevertheless, the political results in other
States where the national issues were in sole |
control of the field, are practically the same
as in the State and city Of New York. Every !
where the Democratic rout is terrible, but |
LExow didn't do IL.

A Questionable Bid for Votes.

One of the candidates for Governor in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania lately pub
lished an offer TO serve for half the salary es-
tablished by law in case he should be elected.
We do not know whether this constitutes
an attempt at bribery under the laws Of
Pennsylvania; but a like effort 10 inhu-
enee voters in this State woulds il success
full render all those votes illegal which
were cast for the candidate under the infu-
ence of his promise 70 serve for less than
the prescribed compensation.
In 1878, WILLIAM L. THORNTON was a
candidate for the office Of County Judge In
Sullivan county. Mr. THoRSToE declared
that he would serve for el 300 IL chosen.
and he published a card, in which, among
other things, he said this:
there repeat that n elected 20 the once OF County
Judge wil pledge myself 90 take only 81 500 for my
services; that win pay out u my own pocket for
the coal necessary 70 heat my Law once; thAG will
pay for all stationery and etterhsads and win sss
that those persons needing oAAks shall Pay tOF them
themselves"
Mr. THORNToE received the largest num,

Democratic conduct, but had to bear the
modification and suffer from the conse-
uuences Of seeming 10 approve and Of sctu-
ally refraining from criticising on the stump
the legislation which he had denounced in
the Senate not less emphatically than the
people condemned It by their votes on Tues
day He stood up 70 receive the shafts
aimed at CLEVELAND, yet CLEVELAND skunk
away without word Of assistance for the
party's self-sacrificine defender, and melted
his followers and oficeholders TO Join in
attacking him. It was contemplate ex-
hbition of political ingratitude and per
sonal spite on the part Of CLEVELAND, but
It was wholly characteristic Of the man
whom TILDEN had recognized as the most
selfish of politicians.
Senator HILL was put in false position,
from which he could not extricate himself.
He was made TO appear rs the represent
ative Of political treachery and party
bargaining, though he detests them as
much rs do the people who voted against
him. His own record of honesty
and consistency he could not take advan-
tage of: but he had to subordinate it, or
rather expunge it, in the practical conduct
of campaign in which the Democratic
party could not escape from the odium Of
Clevelandism. II Senator HILL had made
his canvass on his own record, he would have
done far better; and rs 1t was, he held the
Democratic party together more success
fully than any other candidate for Governor
could have done.
The overthrow of the Democratic party,
the tide of popular disapprobation which
has submerged it in the Union, sweeping
away its majority in Congress- is really the
justification and vindication Of Senator
HILL, and victory for him. II has proved
that he was right in his warnings,
sound in his political principles, and correct
in his understanding of the popular judR-
ment. 1t has lifted him into new prom
inence as the one leader qualified and able
to save the Democratic party from destruc-
tion by the virus of Populism and Socialism.
The victory of Tuesday over the popu-
listic forces arrayed for an assault
on property is victory for the cause of
which HILL is the foremost representative
and champion. In the Democratic party
especially there is no other except him.
