~ Sos ia'uiatihs the country on
ence in the afrairs of rthYo2lies in
must be on the side of constitutional srur-
ernment and not for the perpetuation upoK 4,
American soil of an odious monarchy.
Civil Service Reform.
President Cleveland hag pursued to hSs-
hearts content bis well known policy oG
charging the civil service laws apniica
ton to government Offices. In this it hzzs
not been necessary TO have the co operation
! of congress. No doubt the president is Sup
ported in this policy by an enlightened and
| progressive public opinion, but there is d
great deal of truth in the charges made Rsy
! interested persons that before issuing these
orders Mr.. Cleveland waited till most af
the offices had been taken possession of E;y
his party friends Reform in tho civil
service is the one policy which Mr. Clexe-
land maintained with consistency and wiz
some courage throughout both his adnafcs
istrations lt was his first hobby asa pub
lie man He had it in Buffalo whers hx
was candidate for local office. He car
ried it with him to Albany and latsz-
brought IL to Washington When he ffrSS
came here, he had but one idea. He hard
ly knew there was such thing as living
tariff question in this country Rus shx
cause of civil service reform has IN ale. dr.
tinct progress under his leadership, and Az
the efforts of the spoilsmen to induce his
successor to take backward step sn civfzs
service reform will doubtless fail, su f[rrasS
fixed has the policy become during the asa
three administrations.
The second administration of Mr. C.scvs-.-
land has been stormy one It may u~1g
be doubted il any other president irs tzzxnz
of peace since the days of Jackson hrs husE
so much turmoil as Mr. Cleveland has ss-~
dured. In many important particulars sk&e
president has shown himself man OF curr.
handing strength. His administration hnk
been marked by a strange mixture of sunr
cess and failure. But there can be nos<zunsx
In the mind of any unprejudiced otsx>zx
that he retires from Office with an exeracsr-
binary measure of public confidence.
He Is infinitely more popular with tEn~
people than with the politicians. He krss
much more support out in the states tlmxs
he has here in Washington. As leader ~
thought and public opinion he has been ssx
more successful than as leader of pFucxs
cal legislation. Even the bond sales wh3xns
were so violently attacked by many 81 Hrs
own party and by the thoughtless people ~
all parties, are now seen to have hecn uzs
absolute necessity forced upon him By saus
financial system which he has 10 vuEsa
urged congress to remedy.
