THE PRESIDENTIAL AxE.

The Presidents In late letter an
nounced rather plainly that the admin
istration hereafter proposed TO punish
with dismissal such offlce-holders of
prominence IS were loud in their abuse
and criticisms OF its policy, and since
then the public have been waiting for
the executioner's axe to fall, as, whats
ever else people may say about the
President. no one doubts that he is o
man Of his word and will keep promise
Sure enough one man hiss already be-.
come the victim Of his own temerity,
the individual being c. B. Morton, q
Democrat Of the State Of Maine, who
filled an Office of trust and honor for
four years under Mr.. Cleveland's first
administration, and who, since the lat
ter's second incumbency Of the Pfesi-
Dental chair, was appointed auditor OF
the Treasury for the Navy Department.,
position which he held until yesterday,
when the order for his removal was
issued.
AS to the reasons for such removal,
as given in the dispatch conveying the
information, 1t was stated that it has
lately been ascertained that while an
officer OF the government, during Mr.
Cleveland's first term, he was unneces--
sary harsh and coarse in his criticisms
OF the President, and that latterly he
has been violently abusive, both Of Mr..
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle. The
general verdict on the dismissal Of
Auditor Morton will be that the admin
istration served him right, for while a
man who receives q public office need
not sacrifice his independence and self-
respect, decency and common sense at
least demand that he should not bite
the hand that feeds him.

WASHINGTON dispatches announce
that President Cleveland Is reported as
having in serious contemplation the
appointment of Hon. Hoke Smith Sec
rotary Of the Interior to the position Of
attorney general in the Cabinet should
this place be vacated by the assignment
OF Mr.. Olney to the duties of Secretary
OF State. What the peculiar fitness of
Secretary Smith for the duties OF at
torney- general is the dispatches do not
state. His appointment as Secretary OF
the Interior WAS a great surprise to the
entire country, as but few people
had ever heard of him before his
emergence into the light that shines
about the Washington throne; but after
all he has filed the place fairly we'll.
A Cabinet position under President
Cleveland bears such d strong relation
to clerkship that it Is probable Mr..
Smith, with the aid OF the President,
will be able to meet all the requires
ments OF the place in which the lstest
rumors would assign him.

The Republicans OF kentucky met in
convention at Louisville yesterday
afternoon with Congressman Evans aa
permanent chairman and nominated
Col. w. o. Bradley for governor by &C
clamation. The convention was also
very harmonious in other respects, the
platform being unanimously adopted
and among other planks containing the
following financial one: 1--WE are OPP
posed to the free and unlimited coinage
of silver, believing that 1t would involve
the country in financial ruin. We be-
lieve in sound currency, and in the
use Of both gold and silver for coinage,
provided always that dollar in one is
made equally IS valuable as dollar in
the other" This looks something like
the Ohio straddle but 10 not exactly biz
metallism with foreign consent, after
the manner of Senator Hill.

Body Found Hanging to a Tree.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-A special to
the Post from Birmingham. Ala, says
that near Strasburg, Ala, Monday
night Jim Powell, colored. entered the
room OF Mary Bussey, aged Is, daugh-
ter of prominent farmer and at
tenn pied to assault her. She screamed
for help. Her father came, but the
negro had escaped. A posse was hastily
organized and gave chase, capturing
Powell near Cslera last evening. He
was taken back to Strasburg and iden-
tilted. The posse then left with him,
ostensibly for the county jail at Clan
ton, but Powell's body was found this
morning hanging to tree, mile from
Strasburg.

BOTH SIDES MUCH TO LEARN

II our own citizens could better
understand and appreciate the superi.
o:ity OF ordinary British administrau
ton they would find so much to admire,
and 1t would be less natural for them
to carp against England. The excel
lence 'of British colonial government
makes it advantageous, as q rule, for
outlying islands and fragments OF the
continents to be annexed to the British
empire.
When one speaks soberly and truth
fully, and with the knowledge which
justifes the making of comparisons, he
must admit that England and the
British empire belong to the forces
which are doing most OF the best pro-
gross OF the world. He may object
sharply to many things in detail; but
British civilization and British policy
as whole he can but hold in just re-
spect and great admiration.
1t Is therefore the more importan
that good will, good understanding and
a growing habit Of corporation should
be maintained between the two great
English-speaking nations and 1t seems
to us thst such relations are at least
quite as desirable for England as they
are for the United States.
This being the case. England might
. easily afford to give up q policy in the
western hemisphere which calls for tn
such pronunciamentos as Governor
Budd's OF last month, and which tends
so seriously to impair the friendliness

AN Ex Democrat of Missouri writes
in intensely interesting view of the
present transformation OF the Demo-
cratic party and principles from the
days Of Jefferson and Jackson and Ben
ton in the June Arena. It is an article
that will be widely read in the West
! and South and Southwest. The writer
knows the political history of Ameri-
csn parties down to date, and has sll
the facts at his fingers ends. He be-
lieves that the Democracy has tapered
of to the vanishing point and can never
tics. It's place must be taken by new
liberal party inspired by new ideals
and new blood.

his preference as the nominee of the
Republicans for President in 1896, and
he furthermore states that the move

Depew's celebrated harmony dinner In
New York short time since. The
absence OF Hon. Thomas B. Reed, OF
Maine, from that dinner. which has
been variously commented on by the
press OF the country. Is thus explained:
Mr.. Reed WAS evidently as a Presi-
Dental candidate, not in harmony with
the object OF the dinner, and, of course,
the dinner was not in harmony with
him.

The people of the south today are
loyal people. and from no section of
the Union would men be found who
would more heartily support the gov
eminent in maintaining the Monroe
ern states. If Europe is reckoning on
any division in this country when it
comes to supporting the Monroe doc
trine either ON political party lines
or sectional lines. they had best recast
their calculations if they would escape
disappointment. The civil war ended
thirty years ago. Its bitterness was
perpetuated for a time by unwise pol
1lclans. but that we may now say has
disappeared. The veterans of the war
occasionally meet as brothers in re-
unions on the old battlefields, and tell
now the fight was lost or won, and
no an1mositieS remain. Flags on which
are emblaZoned the stars and bars
may be seen in the museums of the
south and now and then in the homes
OF some of the old ex-Confederate Of
hcers but they are war relics merely,
not signs of bitterness, nor are they
cherished as emblems of a hope that
some day they will rise in triumph
above the nations f1ag, the ensign of
an lndlssoluble union of indestructible
States

THE ADMISSION OF UTAH.

President Cleveland will issue the
proclamation that will make Utah a
state in the American Union on the
4th of January, 1896. Monday follow
ing comes two days later, therefore the
state officers-elect will assume their
duties on the sixth of January and
our Utah will have begun her career
as a sovereign state.
Attorney General Harmon informed
The Herald's Washington correspond
emit that he had examined the Utah
constitution which had been submitted
to him by President Cleveland, and he
had found that all the requirements
of the enabling act had been complied
with, and the President would issue his
proclamation and the officers-elect
would assume their duties as above
stated.
At the request of President Cleveland,
Attorney General Harmon telegraphed
Chief Justice S. A. Merritt that Utah
would be admitted on the 4th of Jan
uary. hence the information may be re-
garded as official, and the people may
prepare themselves for the transition.
All hail the 4th and 9Th of january
all hail the state of Utah!

THE PRESIDENTS MISTAKE.

We think President Cleveland's spe-
cial message of Friday on the financial
situation was a mistake. Instead Of
allaying the excitement it will undoubt-
edly accentuate it, by giving an undue
Importance to the little furry in New
York and London, consequent upon the
Presidents message on Venezuelan af-
fairs. There was nothing in the with
drawal of a few millions of dollars in
gold from the treasury, or the cable
advices from London that American Sc
curities were extensively thrown upon
the market that could justify the
President in sending "a. special message
to Congress. Financial legislation more
than any other kind needs time and
careful elaboration; and when the i'm
portarce of it is considered, Mr.. Cleve-
land on second thought will see how
useless it is to hope that Congress will
take any action upon his recommen-
dations before its holiday adjourn
ment
We are sorry Mr.. Cleveland sent the
message since it will make him liable
to the suspicion that he took advan-
tage of the panicky condition of the
money market in New York and Lon
don, and the favorable impression that
his message on Venezuela matters had
created to commit this country to his
financial policy. The hasty adjourn
ment of the Senate the instant the
reading of the message was completed.
and that on the motion of Senator
Cockrell, a Democratic leader, is an
indication that the President has made
a mistake. If we are to brave the prob
ability of a war with England for the
maintenance of a principle dear to all
Americans, it is not we'll for the head
of the administration to get alarmed
at the first little furry that comes to
Wall street. But we are far from be-
ieving that the President was alarmed.
we do not think he had any Bull Run
panic" as suggested by Senator Haw-
ley. Senator Teller was nearer the
truth when he remarked that it looked
as if the President had concluded from
the favorable manner in which the
Venezuelan message had been received.
that Congress would follow any sug-
gestion he might makes. If that con-
lecture shall prove to be true, the Fri
day message was most unfortunate
event. The President can afford to
be little less anxious to commit the
United States to his financial policy.

AMERICAN SENTIMENT TOWARDS
ENGLAND.

Inc National Observer of London
SPEAKS IN what may be termed savage
tones OF the present difficulty between
the United States and Great Britain.
NOR is 1T quite certain that IT'S Main
strong language does not put the case.
SO Tar as the feelings of hostility of
americans for England, are concerned.
IN ABOUT its right light. It declares
that outside of very select circle of
mlllonaries and mugwumps, Ameri-
cans are profoundly hostile to Eng
lano. The same may be said of the
Ieelings OF Englishmen towards the
United States. The language is very
strong, perhaps too strong, but there is
much truth in this sentiment:
Those who have been living in
fools paradise made up of maudlin
sentiment about kindred communities
and blood being thicker than water.
may experience a disagreeable shock
when the unsympathetic reality is fore
ed upon their attention.
We were closer to England at the
time of the Revolution than today, but
the blood-is-thicker-th theory
did not work at all. or if it did it only
worked to make the feelings of mutual
hatred between Tories and Continent
tails more intense. And to show how
deeply grounded that hatred was.
about the first attempt that has ever
been made. by an American historical
writer to convey any but the old school
history idea of the Tories-that they
were almost enemies of the human
race-was made by Professor Moses
Colt Tyler in the new American His
torical Review. the second number Of
which will appear in January.
The dislike of Americans for England
is an inherited one, and the course Of
that country towards this at critical
times has ever been such as to increase
rather than diminish it. In our second
war with her. civilized England burned
Washington. Americans never have
forgotten and never will forget that
fact. Americans do not forget how
England tried by every means in her
power to get Oregon. Americans do not
forget that Englishmen, in the mo-
ment of our greatest national peril.
fitted out the Alabama and other cruis-
ers to help destroy the United States
as nation. And it rankles in the
breasts of Englishmen that at Geneva
their country was made to give re-
paration for the wrong she had done
US.
The memory of ali this and much
more is fresh in the minds of both
peoples, so fresh that it makes each
exceedingly touchy as to the words or
actions of the other, when they are
anything but exceedingly friendly. 1t
may be regrettable but it is none the
less true that the United States and
England do not love each other.

LET .AHLwARDT ALONE.

The Jews of Chicago have requested
Herr Ahlwardt not to include that city
in his lecture tour. They make no
threats. but there are limitations that
if he goes there he will be given a
warm reception. The propriety of
sending him such request is not open
to discussion. but if he shall elect to
include Chicago in his lecture tour he
is entitled to decent treatment. that is.
that he shall not be put upon. From
the day Herr Ahlwardt landed on our
shores there has been but one incident
that has drawn anything resembling
sympathy towards him. That was
when he was pelted with stale eggs
as he was returning from Cooper
Union to his hotel. 1t may be said to
be the only redeeming thing in his
whole American tour: and let it be the
last one.
He came here to bait large por-
ton of the American people, and the
whole people have treated him with the
contempt he deserves. If our Jewish
citizens whom he came to bait shall in
any wise maltreat hira or seek by any
means other than disdain to make him
more odious in the public esteem. they
