Washington, and cause them to be
imposed upon frequently, it would
have the advantage of partially elm
mating the question of political re-
lationS from the selection of an ap-
pointee. Of course Republicans
would generally sign petitions for

Gratis the reverse. Yet business men
would have an opportunity, of which
many would avail themselves, to adj
wise the selection of a candidate from
the strictly business point of view.
The reformation of the system of
selecting fourth-class postmasters
is a tremendous change. 1t will not
be completed successfully by any one
man or any one administration. 1t
will be a great thing, however, to
have a beginning made. When the
postoffices shall have been taken out
of politics, a deadly blow will be
dealt to the spoils system and it
cannot long survive. If this admin
istration contemplates the beginning
of any such crusade, it will make
itself notable in our history, and will
place the cause of civil. service re-
form where it can never be attacked
successfully hereafter without invit-
ing the destruction of the party that
attempts it.

States, without distinction of party,
is that the Cuban people may win
their liberty. 1t has devolved upon
us, in the situation which has ex-
listed up to this time, to maintain
the position of neutrality that is
imposed upon us by an observance
Of the common law of nations. That
duty has been discharged with
fidelity unimpaired by our sympathy
with the revolution. Now our hands
are clear. If the Cuban patriots
shall show themselves still able to
make Roadway against the whole
power of Spain, if they prove that
the people of their island give ready
allegiance to the new government,
and if they then appeal to the Unit
ed States for recognition as bellig-
erents, it will not be for us to say
them nay. Interesting developments
in the Cuban situation may be looked
for before long. 1t is the common
wish of all the American people that
the end will come in a recognition
of the party of liberty, and in the
permanent establishment of a popu-
lar government in the unhappy island
which has groaned for so many
years under the tyranny of Spain.

4 SANER LAWRENCE.

William Lawrence, the "OhiO Shep-
herd" president of the National
Wool Growers association, author
of the Mckinley wool schedule and
General Protector of Sheep, is not
the only Lawrence in Ohio who
grows wool and has views. He is
the only one ever before heard of;
| but there are others, and at least
one sensible one. He is James A.
Lawrence, member of Straw Camp
Grange No. 1904, of Harlem Springs,
wool growers. He was appointed by
his grange to reply to the inquiry
sent out by Senator Voorhees, finance
committee as to the effect of the pro-
posed tariff with it's free wool sched-
ule. I'VE think" writes this sane
Lawrence, ''the present duties do not
benefit us much, excepting on WOOL
and we do not object to wool going
| on the free list if you put manu-
| featured wooden goods there too. If
the manufacturer ought to have free
wool, the farmer ought to have free
| cloth. Protect both or neither. We
do not object at all to free trade
But if we must have a tariff either
| for revenue or protection, we would
! favor one that would bear equally
on all classes and INDUSTRIES
The lesser Lawrence, lesser in
prominence, greater in good sense,
and those Of his kind all over the
country, have now free wool, and
woolens protected by tax of some
fifty per cent. They have seen the
prices of their wool recovering IN
der freedom. They cannot get, if
they would, protection by taxation
Will they not now all unite to
put in force the proposition he makes
that eff the manufacturer ought to
have free wool, the farmer ought to
have free cloth? ?" If we do not mis-
take the temper, free woolens will
| be the next article to follow free
| wool.

A LONG STEP.

If the report is true which credits
the administration with the purpose
of taking up a plan for putting
fourth-class postmasters under the
civil service rule, it will be by great
odds the longest step ever taken in
this country toward the establish
ment of civil service reform. Hith-
erto the classified service has in
Guided only the employees in the fed
eral departments, in the railway mail
service, and in those postoffices and
custom houses where there are more
than a certain number of clerks en-
gagged in the governments employ.
1t has long been obvious that the
fourth-class postoffices, including as
they do numerically the vast bulk
of federal patronage, were the citadel
of the spoils system. In each con-
gressional district, except those in
cluded in large cities, the small post
offices constitute the major portion
of the federal patronage. Appoint
mentS to these are looked after most
carefully, and constitute the strength
of the mere spokesman in politics,
and the bane of the representative
who desires only to discharge his
duty to the public, unmoIested by
continual applications for place.
1t has not appeared clear up to
this time by what method these Off
ces could be placed under the civil
service rules. 1t is now suggested
by Commissioner Proctor, of the fed
eral civil service commission, that
large number of the smaller offices
could be consolidated under the
branch postoffice system. In the
largest cities there is one central
postoffice, with several branches to
serve outlying districts These
branches are under the control Of
the central postmaster, and their en-
ployes should come under the rules
that apply to his Office. By an ex-
tension of this order, grouping
postoffices within several miles Of
each city about the central depart
| ment, all Of them could be brought
under the reform system. 1t is also
| probable that a large saving in ex-
penditure could be accomplished by
such readjustment.
Commissioner Proctor has the fur
Their idea that where a local post
master is to be appointed, the best
| plan would be to issue competition
blanks to be distributed among the
customers of the office, each signer
stating the approximate amount of
his business with the office and his
choice for postmaster While this
method would involve large

The New York Tribune is striking
ly inconsistent. 1t falls foul of the
bakers of that city who have raised
the price of bread to the poor, who
can only buy loaf or two at a time,
from four to five cents a loaf, while
they have made no raise to the rich
who buy in large quantities. 'It
may be there are some good reasons
yet unrevealed," it says, 'for this
increase in price charged to the poor
while there is none in that charged
to the rich" The bakers have been
readers of the Tribune, evidently,
and have learned from its able edito-
rial columns that that policy is the
true one which enables some to be
rich SO that they can take care of
the poor. If the rich save a cent a
loaf, it will by SO much increase
their ability to take care of the poor
who pay five cents for theirs. The
bakers are logical; the Tribune is
not.

urALsE AND COWARDLY.

Congressman Fletcher gives out an
interview in which he denounces the
sale of bonds to the Morgan syndi-
cate, by which the suspension of spe-
Gle payments was prevented, and
says that it is broadly intimated that
the president is sharing the immense
profits of the transaction. He does
not have the manliness to say that
he thinks so, but sneaks behind the
vague and impalpable ''some per-
sons" of his dreams. He would not
say that this was his own opinion,
but leaves it to be inferred. Proba-
bly, it is. Congressman Fletcher is
one of the men who would be likely
to think so. The great body of the
American people, whose hearts are
true and whose hands are clean,
have an unalterable faith in the
courage and honesty of Mr.. Cleve-
land. Many of them differ with him
in his views of public policy. Many
of them criticise him bitterly and
openly for his departure, in princi-
pie or in action, from their standards.
But very few of them question for
a moment his sincerity Of purpose or
the disinterestedness of his motive
If ever there was a man who tried
to serve his country Loyalty, without

mistakes do not shake public conf
dence
There is a class of men, however,
whose Interpretation of public and
private acts is measured by what
they find within themselves. They
cannot conceive Of self-sacrifice
without a tangible profit behind it.
To them the universe is a great trad
ing mart, animated, from least to
greatest, by the spirit of the jockey.
The virtue of woman and the stead
faStneSs of man are empty terms to
them. These are they who talk
about purity in politics as an ''irides-
cent dream" These are they who
have made our politics thing of
scorn, and so far driven men of high
and noble motive from public life
as to lower in no small degree the
standard Of political life. Men of
high impulses and with a. capacity
for giving the best that is in
them without recompense are de-
tered by the thought of the asso-
Citations they must endure and the
fear that it will be in vain. When
they do enter public life, they have
to expect just such sordid interpre-
tation as Mr.. Fletcher gives to the
patriotic acts of this administration.
The comparison is not new one. 1t
has been fitted to words before. Hy-
perion to a satyr expresses it.

WESTINGHOUSE WILLING,
But the General Electric Hard TO
Deal With

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. BIN an
swer to a direct question OF an AS
ISOLATED Press correspondent as to
whether there had not been nego-
tiations between the Westinghouse
company and the General Electric
company within the past few weeks
looking to the fixing of prices and
arranging of patent matters, George
Westinghouse, president of the COM
pany, today made the following
statement: Some three months ago
Mr.. Twombley, an influential di-
rector OF the General Electric COM
pany, asked me if the Westinghouse
company would be willing to discuss
an arrangement with reference to
the exchange of patent licenses be-
tween the two companies, upon a
basis which would establish their
value and thereby terminate the cost
ly litigation between the companies,
which had already involved a large
expenditure. Mr.. Twombley was in
formed that the Westinghouse would
enter into a general exchange of
licenses upon an equitable basis, and
thereupon memorandum was
drawn and committees were appoint
ed by both parties to discuss an ar
rangement upon the question of such
a memorandum. No meetings of
those committees were held, for rea-
sons that only the General Electric
officials can explain, it having been
said to be due to irreconcilable diff
ferences among themselves.
Another attempt was made by two
important directors, about a month
ago, which came to nothing. Follow
ing the latter failure, a prominent
director of the General Electric COM
pany expressed great regret to a
Westinghouse director that the ear
lier negotiations had been without
result, and also expressed a desire
to renew negotiations. He was in
formed that if the General Electric
company would appoint a commit
tee, and so inform the Westinghouse
directors, that the Westinghouse
company would probably appoint a
like committee. Such committees
were appointed, and meetings were
held in New York Tuesday, Wednes-
day and Thursday of last week. An
agreement was apparently reached,
but afterwards receded from by the
General Electric company. Every
suggestion made by Mr.. Coffing was
of such a nature that the patent and
other difficulties between the two
companies would have remained, so
that harmonious relations under the
patents would have been impossible

HOVAS NOT IDLE.
They Will Meet the French in the
Mountains.

LONDON, Aug. 13.-Col. Charles S.
Shervinton, formerly commander-in-
chief of the Malagassy army, with
the rank of lieutenant general, and for
ten years past the military secretary
of the queen of Madagascar, has just
returned to London, having resigned,
with the other British officers, owing
to disagreements with the government
as to the methods to be taken in resist
ing the advance of the French In an
interview today he says the French had
before them the greatest physical OBJ
stacles they have yet encountered, in
Guiding the fever. In the district of
Vonizongo and in the high mountain
passes near the capital, where the
Hovas occupy powerful positions, the
natives intend to make a stand. Hith-
erto the Hovas have been purposely
passive, although their artillery and
machine guns outnumber those of the
French, and with $4,000 drilled men,
armed with breech-loading rifles, their
position, in Shervinton's opinion, ought
to be impregnable.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The harvest
excursion committee of the Western
lines was in session all of today, but
put in all of. its time discussing the
specific form OF ticket to be used.
1t was finally drawn up late this aft
ernoon. The opinion seems to pre-
vail among some members of the
committee that the plan they have
formed for the return certificate de-
scr1bed yesterday will not meet with
the entire approval of the general
meeting tomorrow. Others, howev-
er, are very sanguine that the plan
will be adopted with a hurrah. If
the plan of the committee, or some
similar action, is not adopted tomor-
row, there will be an excellent chanca
for the general Generalization of
rates, particularly in the Eastern ter
r1tory. The time set by the Illinois
