UNSTARCHING IN CHICAGO.

Mayor Harrison of Chicago is In the uncom-
Portable position of person who sows the wlnd
and finds the wh,rlwind a most uncomfortable
crop to reap. He made n campaign for once
with promises of spoils, declared that the pub
lie departments were filled with improper in
Cumbents and promised to his supporters ample
chance at the crib when he had turned the ras-
Gals out Once in power, he finds himself
powerless to supply the demand that he him.
self created The men in office are legally
there. and are doing their work properly. and
the Mayor cannot turn them out without becom-
ing lawbreaker which he has no wish to be-
In the last two months, it is reported. he has
listened to four hundred office seekers day,
and out of q total of over seventeen thousand
applicants he has been able to provide for less
than three hundred. Consequently the City Hall
is daily thronged with patriots on the verge OF
riot. and one department officer, by police adj
vice, goes armed because of the threats made
against him. "The boys say places were prom
ised to Them and no explanations seem to APP
pease their anger. They won the election, and
they want their reward.
The Mayor stands manfully to his duty, and
refuses to break the law for his friends. But
though his situation is pitiful, he Is not en-
tttled to pity He is the victim Of his own dema-
gogy even though he may have believed in the
possibility Of keeping his promises when he
made them. However much he may have
thought the service improperly manned and
In need Of revision he knew that he was ap-
pealing to unworthy motives in his reckless
declarations that he would make a clean sweep
Of the City Hall. We hope that every one of
the seventeen thousand disappointed will haunt
him until he and every other man in like sit
uation learns that patronage Is an unstable
prop for political power Only the ignorant
leader who is a bungler at his trade and Is de-
voted to petty intrigue rather than party sue
cess. wishes to be distributor OF spoils. The
necessity Of angering ten men TO please one is
n positive weakness to an organization. The
spoils system Is chung to by those men who
have no intelligence above spoils and by some
politicians Of higher capacity who recognize
its evils and cmbarrassments but feel obliged
to make use OF IT, lest others grasp 1t for
weapon But II Is a two-edged weapon. and nn-
der present laws, as Mayor Harrison discovers,
1t is weapon likely to cut him who tries
to WELD It,

ere long. we hope, by his complete RELIEF from
the punishment which was harshly LAID upon
him. Within brief period three organizations
of the National Guard in this state have been
disbanded, and 1t Is a particularly Interesting
circumstance that they are the three organiza-
tions whose disarmament General Mclewee
recommended in the report which his superiors
suppressed. 1t is plain. therefore. that the
ground in which his good seed was sown was
not 80 stony and unfruitful as was feared. The
report was suppressed, but its contents were
needed Nor is this the only confirmation OF the
accuracy of his judgment and Of his title to
public gratitude for taking course which was
destined to subject him to unmerlted reproach
and to very serious penalty. The reformation
which General Tilnnghast intends to initiate in
the administration of the State Camp Is re-
Spouse to General McLewee's exposure of its
shortcomings. and in line with his efforts at i'm
provement We congratulate him and the State
upon recognition Of his service which, though
somewhat tardy bids fair to produce salutary
results.

VICTORIA. QUEEN AND EMPRESS.

Victoria's career is the one topic uppermost
I'm the worlds mind to-day. The stor! Oh her
re;pn Of the expansion of her empire and OF the
,eeds of its statesmen and sages Is @narVe'-
,cus one. as hitherto recited briefly In these
poges But man is more than CONSTITUTIONS
The worthy monarch is greater than MS reaih''
The personality of Victoria is more pulssaht
and convincing fact In human history tnah even
the magnitude of her empire. And TINS Jupliee'
which is this week to be celebrated Win uh-
dreamed and un axamped splendor Is, above ALL
u personal Jubilee. 1t Is not made primarily I"
\ exploit the expansion of the empire or lhe
achievements of its subjects. but to cOmmew
crate the Queens personal achievement IN pro-
longing her reign beyond the compass or any
other in English history and her personal snare
of credit for all that has been done. In tnat
view of the case which is indubitably correct,
until this eliminating time has been reserved
the personal review Of Her Ma5estys career
which fills elsewhere some columns or thls
paper
The estimate made Of Victoria's personality
Is that II has been throughout potent ana trl-
umphant fact in most of the great dolngs OF her
reign; incomparably more potent than that OF
any NJ her predecessors. This il may well be
believed is entirely true BY delightful para
dox the most constitutional of monarchs has
heen the most autocratic. The Queen VINO mas
most of all subordinated her will to that OF her
people has most of all impressed her Will upon
them and upon all the progress OF their social
arts That is explained by the further analysis
of her character and circumstances. She Is
seen TO have been from the outset true Eng
ushwoman the first really British sovereign
the realm has had for many reigns: TO nave
shown herself in good faith and above sus'
melon. a consistent and progressive consttu-
tional sovereign and to have been In the high
est and deepest sense Of the term model OF
true womanhOod. When to these conditions we
add her unusual intellectual powers and eXecu-
tive ability and her saving cOmmon-sense the
secret of her unprecedented personal prestige
Is made obvious.
The world is greatly enriched by such per-
eonality. THE bosterOus old notion or nero
worship" as Mr. Morley fecitously phrases IL.
NAV well be seen Ito be only halftruth
But It Is equally true that 1.-THE world Will never
"be able TO spare its hero. and the man with
"the rare and excepti( nal gift Of genius Will
ALWAYS be as commanding figure as he mas
sever been" Such a figure is that OF Great
Britain's venerable Queen Above all the great
soldiers and statesmen and writer's and scien-
fists of her time she stands supreme upon the
worlds oft-deemed degenerate stage, person.

STATE CAMP AND GUARD.

The State Camp at Peeksklll was opened yes
terday under conditions specifically like those
which have prevailed for years, but, II common
report is trustworthy, a different spirit Will be
in control 1t Is a fact which is well known IN
National Guard circles. and understood by
considerable number Of citizens though com
paratIvely little has been said on the subject
that the discipline Of the camp In recent years
has been lax and dscredltable OF course II ID
not meant that this state OF things has been
universal, but there have been far too many
manifestations of false conception OF duty ana
an ,,nserviceable spirit This year 1t is semi
officially reported from Albany that Adjutant-
General Tillinghast is resolved to institute and
maintain a different standard.
General McIewee, whose abrupt dismissal ut
the end of last year in consequence OF his frank
expoeure. in the line OF his official duty, OF var'
Gus dIscreditable Incidents and practices was
universally regarded as a hardship needessly
inflicted on a gallant and respected officer OF
the Guard, has not yet been formally vindicated.
But the course of events has been steadily vim
dlcating him from that time to this, and this
substantial verdict In his favor will be followed
