Goyernment by Spies.

This seems to be an administration by spies.
The old soldiers have long been bounded by
spies and informers, and in Iowa the Federal
courts have been turned into q spy system by
the side of which the abuses practiced under
prohibition in Des Moines pale into insignif-
canoe. But the spy system goes well with the
talk of perpetual presidency and third terms.
1t all comes of making a president believe, as
Grover Cleveland has been made to believe,
that he is bigger than his party. Believing
this, why shouldn't he establish sort OF per-
sonal rule? Informers have always gone
well with personal government.-Iowa State
Register.

IDEAS OF WESTERN EDITORS.

Cuba always has been packhorse ana bread
winner for idle, luxurious and extravaganza
Spain, like an industrious wife who supports
genteel but worthless husband. The difference
is that the woman drudge dies without COM
plant or protest, and the national drudge
some times rebels.-Portland Oregonian.
Alameda County division has been discussed
here for years, just as we discuss the probabili-
ties of the earth at some time becoming deed,
like the moon, but the matter is not consid-
cred as q living issue, and nothing at present
gives evidence that it will be for some time to
come.-San Leandro Standard.
1t has become a very popular practice TO de-
nounce and discredit courts of the highest
judicial character. People who are under obli-
cations to respect the laws of the land might
easily be engaged in better business.-Wood-
land Democrat.

Prejudice against articles OF home produc-
ton was never more marked than in the case
of the cigars made from Gilroy tobacco. Ex-
perts who test them without knowing their

The American people are more thorough pro-
tectionists to-day than they ever were before.
With them this doctrine is not matter OF
theory. For proof of its wisdom they point to
the unparalleled industrial development I'M
der thirty years of protection and for proof OF
the folly of the free trade policy they point to
the unprecedented industrial disaster which
attended the Democratic assault upon the last
Republican tariff.-Phenix tAriz.) Republican.
1t is all nonsense to aver that the eminent
gentlemen who are now on tour of inspec-
ton of the navigable rivers in California are
overwhelmed with surprise at the extent of
our inland waterways. Such an averment
amounts to an impeachment of their intelli-
gence. The idea that men who have lived
long enough in California to be elected to the
Senate and House of Representatives are not
acquainted with the geography of the State is
too ridiculous to be entertained for moment

The Government of Cities. .

The notion that the people of the city are
less capable of selfgovernment than those of
the country is an absurd delusion. The notion
that they cannot or will not direct their own
affairs better than outsiders can or will do it
nicipal government must be solved by the
people OF cities, and the more completely the
task of self-government is put upon them the
sooner and the better will they work 1t out.
All they need from State legislation is the OPP
portunfty and the power, which has thus far
been denied them and out of the denial of
which has come much OF the failure.-New
York Times.

Getting Together.

The logic of it may not be apparent. The
processes of this evolution of perfect union
may be obscure. They may be even beyond
the realm Of reason.
But whether by means of miracle or as
natural and rational outcome of two genera
tons of misunderstanding, it is glorious fact
that Americans from North and South now
meet together, neither forgetting nor forgiv
ing, but on the sure and permanent footing of
mutual respect and mutual pride.-Boston

A Jewel of a Girl.

A family on the East Side have just procured
the services of a hired girl, who appears to be
jewel, judged by the following conversation.
Her name is Mary and she had just come that
afternoon. In the evening half dozen of her
friends dropped in to see how she liked the
new place and she was entertaining them in
good style. The landlady just before retiring,
went out to the kitchen where the new girl sat
with her company, and said, MARY, we have
breakfas. at O'Clock every morning" "A1l
