HARRISON AND THE CABIENT,
From the P@st-Express.

From the PQst-Express.
There has been much speculation as to
what ought to be done with our eX-presi-
dents. Pensions have been proposed, as
well rs life senatorshps. 1t does not
seem entirely fitting that one who has
been at The head of the greatest nation
of the earth should be remanded to re-
tircment and his public service perma-
nently foreclosed. AS II happens, but two
eX-pres!dents have been returned to pub
lie life. John Quincy Adams represented
Massachusetts, district in congress for
nearly twenty years, after leaving the
presidential chair. and died at his post of
duty, and Andrew johnson had just been
elected to the United States senate, when
death came to him suddenly. Van Burea,
Fillmore and Cleveland were presidential
candidates after intervals of retirement.
and Cleveland was elected, the single i'll
stance of a return to the presidency, save
In immediate succession. Other eX-presi-
dents have led private lives, some of
them, indeed. like John Adams, Jefferson.
Madison and Jackson, not without large
influence upon the currents of political
thought and action, but without official
place. General Harrison should feel at
liberty to accept an invitation to enter
President McKinley's cabinet. He Is still
in the full vigor of his faculties, and not
yet advanced in age. 1t is sincerely TO
be hoped that he may see his way clearly
to re-entering the public service.

Electricity from Coal,

Some time ago reference was made
in The Tribune to the Jacques process
of generating electricity directly from
coal without the intermediary use of
steam. The man who solved this long
perplexing problem, DR.. William w.
Jacques, of Boston. has in the Decem-
Der issue of Harper's magazine an in
teresting paper descriptive of his ex-
periments and of the conclusions thus
far reached.
From this we learn that the appar-
atus first used was very simple. A
platinum crucible was partially filled
with common potash, kept liquid sby
suspension over a gas flame. A lump
of coke was hung in the potash by a
platinum wire. Into the molten potash
n stream of air was blown through a
tube. The wire holding the coke was
the negative pole. and a second wire
attached to the crucible was the posit-
i've pole of the generator. The oxy-
gen of the air combined with the car
bon; the production of heat was pre-
vented by the liquid: a conducting
path was afforded in which current
of electricity was developed the two
wires were attached to a small electric

Civil Service Bounds.

1t is reported that President Cleve-
land is considering the advisabilty of
placing fourth-class postmasters on the
civil service list. He has the power 10
do so if he deems it advisable, and
q strong effort is being made by pres
ent holders of these Offices to induce
him to use that power, thereby en-
trenchinG them against future diSmis-
sal. The fact that the present exc
cutive has extended the civil service
law over clerks, letter-carriers and mis-
cellaneous employees of first and sec
Ond class is taken as ground for the
prediction that he will not leave his
administration fOurth-class appoint.
ees to the uncertain mercies of 4 Re-
publican regime.
There is no doubt that from the
standpoint of the Republican congress-
men-elect it would simplify matters
We're Mr.. Cleveland to fulfil this inten-
tion. Patronage to congressman is Il
source of weakness instead of strength.
Every man named for a pOstottice
means dozen men offended and pre-
pared at the earliest opportunity to
take summary revenge. The putting
of fourth-class offices on the civil SER
vice list would do away with nine
tenths of the patronage worriments
of each member-elect of the Fifty
fifth congress and leave him free to
strengthen himself among his consti-
tuents by the performance of more Sc
rious and more generally acceptable
of spoils.
But on other grounds we fear that
the proposed move is impracticable.
1t would carry with it in fairness and
logic the necessity eventually of ap-
plying the same rules to the selection
of first and second class postmasters,
and to this few thoughtful citizens
would assent. The head of a large post
office is an executive official who ought
to be in sympathy with the policies of
the administration in power and direct
ly responsible to that administration
for the carrying out within his area
of responsibility of its ideas and its
will. To make his office one Of life
tenure would be to encourage the SWELL
ing of his head far beyond the bounds
of prudence or public comfort. The
application of civil service rules should
stop at the line which divides skilled
labor, working under direction, from
sponsibility.

Why should The combining o. the coGn-

that is right. Mr.. Quay Is said to desire

ship. That Is all right. He Is entitled TO
his choice the same as any other Rcrub-

favors Mr.. Royer, and he TOO is eutitled to

next point to consider Is whethet it Is
always prudent and expedient to util-
ize such right. In the present case
eX-Speaker Boyer was put forward
as candidate TOR another term as
speaker, not because he is a. city"
member-elect but because he is by all
odds the ablest and most experienced

cause moreover he is in thorough SYM

should say recent, combine" was
formed. The latter was instisated di-
rectly by factiOnal enemies of Sem
ator Quay--by men who are showing
gratitude to him for past kindnesses
by plotting night and day to destroy
him. Their cry of country against city
is an old scare cry with nothing IN it,
aud it is used now as it has been used
before, solely to accomplish a factional
purpose. The men who are manipulate
ing this movementthe sly chaps who
don't appear on the surface-are en-
emies both to Quay and Hastings and
these two eminent Republicans would
not be human did they not recognize
this fact and take steps looking to
their own protection.
We make this explanation, not for
the Records sake. for it knows the
facts as well as we do and is simply
posing for effect; but to enlighten any
of our readers who may not have un-
dcistood the exact puroort of the Or
ganized antagonism to Boyer. 1t is

the party in Pennsylvania lacking only
strength to accomplish it's utter ami

it has accomplished naturally stand
by Boyer.

ASKING TOO MUCH.


From the Sun.
There are some things which Mr. Cleve-
land can never do for Spain. He cannot
follow out a suggestion once made by the
Spanish premier to aid in the suppression
of the Cuban insurrection. He cannot call
upon the insurgents to lay down their
arms, as Spain has thought he should. He
cannot, 1t would seem, prevent wholly
the shipment of arms to Cuba. He cam
not excel from this country the Cuban
patriots who reside her. He does not
possess the power to stem the tide of
American sympathy for Cuba. Spain
asks too much from this administration
when she asks Mr.. Cleveland to do such
things

The Pirate in Business.

Mondays pronouncement by the
court of this county in the matter of
the attachment proceedings growing
out of the Driesen failure. besides pass
ing upon some phases of the act of 1869
not heretofore judicially interpreted,
struck a vigorous blow at an evil which
is assuming grave proportions. 1t Is
the practice of defrauding foreign cred
itors. and is carried on to an extent the
average layman little dreams Of. One
direct effect is the serious injury to the
credit of the city in some of the large
markets of the country, and as result
great injury Is worked to men who are
ambitious to embark in business in a
legitimate way. Unless backed by
abundant capital they find their busi-
ness road thorny one in consequence
of the suspicious which the methods OF
the pirates have sent broadcast
The vigorous language of the court
in speaking of the piratical business
methods recently brought to its atten-
tion will have a good effect. 1t will be
notice to business parasites that the
eye of justice is upon them, and that
they cannot hope to carry their plans
to q successful conclusion unless they
keep well within the pale of the law.
when a failure occurs it will not do to
jugSle with facts and accounts and
then endeavOr to becloud the whole
proceedings with testimony prepared
for that purpose. On that point the
language of the court is commercially
clear and decisive.
In no state has any branch of the
law attained perfection, but it is the
universal complaint in the business
world. east. west north and south, that
the laws for the punishment of men
who in business transactions rob as
boldly and deliberately as does the
highwayman who lies in wait for his
victim, are entirely Inadequate. High
way robbery is one of the gravest
crimes on the criminal calendar and
one of the most severely punished.
Business highway robbery, owing to
the defective condition of our laws,
never rises above false pretenses and
in only about one case in a hundred
is it possible to hold the robber on even
that trivial charge
With this as the condition of affairs
1t is gratifying to see the courts take
stand that may prevent the highway
man from walking smilingly out of
court with a quasi-legaf seal of APP
proval on his business methods while
the stolen dollars bulge from his
pockets.
