FRIDAY, JANUARY =, 1898.


If the increased compleNity and graV-
fly of the situation in Columbus means
the political death Of Marcus Aureiius
Hanna. ii is only too evident that he
is determined to die fighting and I'M
repentant. Reasonably well satisfied
by this time that the anti-Hanna Re
publican forces Of the State are too
strong for him under present condi-
tions. he is riding for fall, If he can
not secure a respite through a dead
lock liz the Legislature. According to
all reports he has enlisted the aid OF
ex-senator Brice to create Demo-
cratic diversion. The latter is said to
believe that he may be able to turn
the situation to his own advantage,
and, by inducing Democrats to refrain
from voting for anybody but a Repub-
lcan. make a combination with the
Hanna Republicans, and so get back
TO the Senate. Rather than see kurtz
or Bushnell win against him, Marcus
Aurelius would unquestiOnably throw
the race. He is credited with the as.
sertion that he would much prefer
TO see a gold Democrat elected than
a Bushnell kurtz Republican, and lit
tie wonder. too. The difference be-
tween a Hanna Republican and the
unclassified thing called by the name
of gold Democrat is not enough to
talk about.
The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1898-01-07

But the views and expectations of
Brice are not altogether those of Han
ma. The latter thinks that the Brice
diversion may be effective enough to
gain delay. and that then the argu-
ments OF the plethoric barrel viii do
the rest. The various and sundry de-
vices resorted to by the Boss of the
National Administration are peculiar
and not nice to contemplate. AS here
tofore remarked, they consist too large
ly in threats, intimidation and other
things not considered decent or moral
outside of the Republican party; but.
as they are normal to that environ
ment, it is not our province to criti-
else them. We may be permitted TO
observe that they do not appear to be
working well. Even the Brice game
does not promise much. The advent
to Columbus Of a horde of railway,
trust and monopoly lawyers and lob
byists to preach pure Democracy 10
the Democratic opponents Of Hanna
ism, far from producing the desired
effect, has filled Ohio Democrats ev-
erywhere with disgust and rage. They
see in IL the operation of the same old
combination of oppression and corrup-
ton, under the gold standard. and we
are afraid that the movement has
made Mr.. Brice almost as unpopular
character as Marcus Aurelius him.
SELF. A great mass meeting of Repub-
hcans has been called to meet i'm the
State capital on the day Of Governor
Bushnells Inauguration. Hanna mon
ey and Hanna railway influence will
import huge crowd of heelers and
strikers, OF the class useful for their
athletic abilities and indifference to
law, and IT is probable that this war
like ruse may be answered by a whole
sale visit Of Kurtz and Bushnell adj
herents, and many Democrats, to see
fair play for the governor. There is
one thing about ii worth remember
ing. In case Hanna should deliberate
~ plan riot his enemies have the
executive, the Legislative and the mill
1tary arm OF the State under their con-
troll, and could suppress and punish any
such demonstration with vigor and
success. The conditions are too much
muddled for predictions Time alone
will tell!

SPOILS SYSTEM IN POLITICS
Charles j. BonaTarte's Address on
the Civil Service

Philadelphia. Jan. Charles ]. Bon
aparte, of Baltimore. spoke before the
Municipal League, at the Penn Club.
last evening on good government, par
uculaIly in reference to the fight over
the maintenance of civil service reform
now in progress i'm Washington. He
was the guest OF honor for the leagues
second reception for the winter, and
was the object Of especial attention be-
cause of the possibility of his being the
successor of -enator German.
IF we can get rid of the spoils sys-
tenn in politics" said Mr.. Bonaparte,
1--WE can get rid Of the bosses and other
evils which grow from il. We have
made some progress in this direction
in the National Government, and civil
service reform. has developed TO such
an extent as to be very disagreeable
to the spoils mongering politicians.
Civil service reform was at first looked
upon as a convenient excuse for Con-
gressmen who could not find places for
an who applied, but now It has grown
SO that they are not able to fulfill their
promises which they really want to
keep.
There is something much more seri-
Gus in the movement against civil

fore. The situation with the merit
system is such that it needs the sup
port of every one of its friends.
think il is getting il. Here is an OPP
portunity to sustain by popular agita-
ton the friends of civil service reform
in Congress and in the White House.
We don't know just who all of them
are now, but we will find out by and
bye.
1t is important to have it under
stood that the people (who are our
! selves) are enough in earnest to make
il disagreeable for the enemes of re-
form if they carry out the things they
have in view. The point is to make
them understand that something will
happen to them il they carry out those
plans. That may not seem at first like
a very high principle to work upon,
but it is the one that i have always
| found to be effective"

Childrens Home here and every effort
is being made to locate her parents,
who. IL is believed, are now living in
Montana.
A remnant of Sitting Bulls band of
Indians was rounded up in Manitoba
by the government troops in 1874 ana
driven to the Cheyenne River Reserva-
ton where the main body Of the tribe,
including Sitting Bull himself, had been
located after the battle Of the Little
Big Horn, when General Clusters COM
mand was mastered. This was eight
years after the battle. and the remnant
comprised a small band of Indians nu-

When found they had in their pos
| session a white girl baby. together
with many household goods, wagons
and horses, all marked with the name
Russell. Whether the goods had be-
lOnged to the parents of the child is
| not known, but she was given the name
| of Russell.
The Indians were permitted TO keep
| the girl because no one entered an
| objection She has lived with them
ever since and has been closely guard
ed, for fear she might be stolen.
Her existence had been forgotten,
| when a missionary CHANGED TO see her.
Inquiries followed. and finally the sup
! erintendent of the children Home, in
this city. was appealed to. He went IL
| the reservation, and brought the girl
vii Ia
| part of the Indians, and the agency po-
| lice were called on for aid.
Since then the Indians have opened
| their mouths concerning the child. and.
| i. they tell the truth. her parents were
not massacred, but are still living in
| Montana, believing that their child
was killed. Before the troops came af-
ter them. in the spring of 1884, the In
| dams made several raids on the set
! tiers. and on one occasion they raided
| a ranch and, finding the men absent,
| they knocked the mother senseless and
I took away her two children. What be-
came of the other child is not known.
| but an inquiry has been started in the
| hope that it may be found.

Republican consistency and loyalty
TO party platforms and pledges, again
was illustrated when, yesterday i'm the
House of Representatives, Mr.. Gros-
venor of Ohio made one of his char
acteristic attacks upon the merit sys-
TEN in the civil service. The speech
was interesting only for the side light
il shed upon the desperate straits in
which the party finds itself, after less
than year of unrestricted power and
misrule. Mr.. Grosvenor urged that with
out a return to the spoils system, the
doom Of Republicanism in this coun-
try was sealed. To the extent that ii
is sealed anyway, We quite agree with
Mr.. Grosvenor. He might have adj
ded. with even greater force, that the
party which VIGOROUSLY depends for
its success upon wholesale bribery, cor
ruption and the intimidation of Ameri-
can labor for its success, is entirely
inconsistent in pretending 10 support
q system of administration based upon
ideas of good and economical govern
ment and equity. II is not fair that
the great trust and monopoly and f.
nancial contributors to the Presiden-
tial campaign fund of 1896 should be
paid back an hundred fold, and the
ward heelers and bruisers. kept cold

The nation has been looted for The

From a Republican standpoint there
is much TO be said for the position ia
ken by Mr.. Grosvenor. 1t is antipodal
to good morals and the interests of
the people, and it is directly promo
tive Of political corruption. but these
things render il all the more regularly
Republican. We have great hopes in
