GROVER CLEVELAND.

The retirement from public Office Of man
who has for fourteen years held so conspicuous
q Mace in the conduct of affairs in this State
and in the Nation as President Cleveland Is
naturally enough, made the occasion for gen
eraI summing up of his career and pronounce
ment of Judgment upon his policy, his acts and
his character This has been going on in maya
y;nes and newspapers for several weeks past.
AS might be expected TOO, MS 1riends ana au-
mlrers-greatly reduced in number, it must be
admitted, during the last four years but 1t must
also be admitted, intensified in their personal
devotion as their number decreased-have e&-
hausted the resources of language In praise OF
the wisdom Of his policy, the greatness OF his
service TO the country and to all good causes, ana
tho irreproachable excellence of his character;
while his opponents. especially those in his own
marty who have been for variety OF reasons,
personal and political hostile to him while CIV
ing him nominal support have hardly been able
10 find language strong enough for condemna-
,sn of his personal character as well as his
public acts and administrative policy. These
contributions 10 current literature, from two OPP
posite points of view, do not by any means repre-
sent the deliberate judgment OF the mass either
of Nj. Clevelands friends or his opponents;
though. perhaps, if an average were struck be-
tween them il might furnish fair expression
of public opinion He Is not so transcendently
great ard wise and good as his admirers repre-
sent him. nor is he SO insignificant, so obsti-
nately stupid or so irredeemaby bad as his
angry opponents describe him.
Yhe opinions Of The Tribune regarding Presi-
dent Cleveland's Administration its foreign and
It's domestic policy, It's strength and its weak
moss. have been frankly expressed at all times
and do not need TO be repeated now. Differing
with him widely and fundamentally as to the
economic policy which was the principal issue
in his election 1t strenuously opposed at every
step the legislation by which that policy was
forced unon the country, and has followed its
disastrous development with unsparing crit
general sentiment Of the country in its com
ments upon the foreign policy OF the Admnstra-
ton some features OF which 1t has approved
ungrudcincly while others II has felt compelled
10 condemn For the fXiiy OF purpose and stub
horn determination with which he compelled his
own reluctant following in Congress 10 carry
out his will in the repeal OF the silver coinage
law. The Tribune gave him mered and I'M
siinted niNise. Ii gave him credit, too. for sin
.e.ity of purpose and patriotic motives in ex-
ending the provisions OF The Civil Service regu-
aions In the direction Of diminishing the evils
of patronage and the iniquites Of the spoils sys-
tenn In short. The Tribune has endeavored to
treat Grover Cleveland personally with fairness
and his Administration with justice.

that unless it can be answered in his favor po-

the impOrtunate clamor Of applicants for ONCE.
1t would be good thing for the country, also, II
the President and his heads of departments
should have time to acquaint themselves quietly
with the relative value of recommendations they
will receive before being Obliged TO act upon
great number Of them. IL the Ofice-seekers ana
the patronage agents have to wait longer than
usual this year, the chances are that the selec-
tons for office may prove the more satisfactory
On that account.

TO-DAY'S BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

"Prosperity's advance agent" Is phrase that
has been so familiar for the last year as almost
to have become trite. Yet iteration cannot make
truth less true, any more than it can make
lie less false. To-day is the 4th Of March,
and the man who was so aptly dubbed pros
perity's advance agent becomes President Of
the United States. Millions of men are asking
how, when and to what extent the contract for
prosperity will be fulfilled Nation hangs
upon the answer. 1t will come Details may
wait for selfunfolding. The assurance stands
revealed and triumphant that this day marks
the oncomng of good times, not simply because
William Mckinley becomes President, nor be-
cause able men will advise and sustain him, but
because the National policies Of Republicansm,
which William Mckinley embodes and repre-
prosperity to the Nation, are now again to be-
come the rules Of National life.
Much space Is given in to-day's Tribune, in
other columns Of this sheet, and also in a volumi-
nous special supplement, to a detailed consid-
Grafton of party policies and their effects upon
business and the welfare OF The public. 1t is
earnestly commended, for careful and thought
full perusal, 10 every citizen, and especially to
every business man and capitalist, and every
wage-earner and farmer The reader will see
from this impartial and dspassionate record
what ample ground there is for the belief that
the return of the Republican party to power at
Washington means the return Of prosperity 10
the whole Nation. He will see what warrant
there is for capitalists TO embark upon enter
prises from which they have shrunk during the
last four years He will see what pledge there
is of business security, Of honest finance, of
patriotic safeguarding Of American interests, of
discriminating protection to American agri
culture and craftsmanship.
1t was not mere chance that Republican poll
cies gave the young Nation, a hundred years
ago, stability and prosperity; tnat every triumph
of that policy since has done the same 1t was
not mere chance that the enforcement OF Demo-
cratic policies. under Jackson under Polk I'M
der Buchanan and under Cleveland, brought
panic and disaster upon the country. There is
n method in these things that bespeaks a rule,
and that rule is that Democracy is destructive
and reactionary and fraught with evil to labor
and capital alike, and that Republcanism is
constructive and progressive and creates the
conditions Of prosperity to all. That rule makes
this day a day OF hope and Of rejoicing TO the
business interests Of America, from those of the
humblest day laborer to those OF the multi-mill.
ionare capitalist. 1t bids them TO be OF good
cheer. and TO do their work and to make their
investments confidently, in the assurance Of
profitable wages and adequate returns That is
the inspiring business outlook Of to-day.

PUBLIC SERVICE VS.. SPOILS.

Some Of Presidents first and greatest diff
cuties arise from the desire OF politicians in the
different States 10 secure Offices for themselves,
their friends or their followers TO many per-
sons high public official appears 10 be nothing
n ore than a waiter to serve soup 10 1.-The
boys" What public duties the Office may have
outside that distribution. such persons do not
consider. and naturally they care little whether
the man chosen is really fit or not The sufficient
qualification, in their minds, is that he shall be
ready to please the powers that be I'm various
States by giving places 10 certain persons and
not TO others. The recent remark Of Mr. Gage re-
carding the Civil Service system indicates that

ment which has the appointment Of a greater
number Of men than any other except The Postal
the governing purpose will not be in the least
congenial TO patriots for place only. Nor Is there
any reason TO suppose that the Posmaster.Gen.
cral will be distributor Of Offices at the behest
OF political managers.

Migration, the pest burns itself out Such was
the case at Hong Kong few years ago, and
such is proving to he the case at Bombay. The
excellent precautions of the British Indian Gov

the epidemic to new fields and so in few
weeks more we may expect to see it practically
a thing Of the past, with medical science so
much improved as to be able to deal far more
effccually with any future outbreaks.

Georgia Rihemen Abroad.

From the Columbus (Ga) Enquirer-s Sun
Dispatches from Sea Girt say that a
movement is on foot to select a team of
rihemen from the teams gathered there to
be carried to Europe.
No doubt such team would create a
sensation in the military circles of Eng
land and every continental country, but
why select the team from the teams at
Sea Girt? Why not take the Georgians
alone? A team can be selected from the
Georgia rihemen now at Sea Girt which
cannot be improved upon by going outside
the Georgia teams, and which would
easily prove a winner in European coun-
tries.
The truth of this proposition is clearly
proved by the record which the Georgians
have made at Sea Girt this season. They
are easily sweeping everything before
them, and as the kilograms from the range
this morning say, they are "ipvincible"
If any team is to so abroad let it be
a Georgia team and let it be known as the
Georgians. Let it carry Old Glory along
with il, but let il be known that the team
comes from the Empire State of the South
