A Reform Graft.

BY addressing the Hon. MICHAEL ANGELO
NEFF. Secretary, "a East Sixth street. Gin
%cinnati, friends Of the reform Of reforms,
otherwise called the initiative and referen-
dunn" will hear something to their advan-
tage. Meanwhile we have the happiness Of
disclosing a few particulars collected from
small bills.
The Union Reform party Of Ohio began
business last summer. 1t cast 10000 votes;
and it's candidate for Governor, a states
mar Of the name Of GRAFT, carried the
city of Harrison, his home, a thing unprec-
edented in the history Of new parties In
Ohio" Elated by this unprecedented sue
cess, the Union Reform party has resolved
to invite all believers in its platform to a
conference. This platform is a model and
a phoenix. 1t is the one-plank platform
of which the admirers Of clearness have
dreamed. The initiative and referendum,
merely this and nothing more. Simple but
filling. The Hon. JOHN PARDON ALTGELp
and many other thinkers, Democrats. Pop
ulists and Independent solitaries, hold the
initiative and referendum to be the infalli.

Other parties have had it, but have not
been true to IL.
Tho Union Reform party carries no
other line OF goods. 1t deals in nothing
else, but it seeks no monopoly. 1t has
generously called "a national conference

tive and referendum. or direct legislation
by the people, at Cincinnati, March !, for
the purpose of forming a national party"
Tho response should be as generous as the
invitation. The railroads and the river
steamboats, are making low rates of fare
for the purpose of accommodating the Union
Reformers. When even the corporations
make concessions to the genius OF the re-
form of reforms, what good man who clings
to the initiative and referendum as the one
pillar OF u falling world will refuse to go to
Cincinnati? The Cincinnati committee has
wisely made elaborate arrangements for

Retired Omcers.

The suggestion concerning retired Off
GERS, made in the recent report Of the Pres
ident's War Commission, deserves special
attention now that the question Of reor-
ganlzing the army is before Congress.
During the hostilities with Spain, said the
commission, many positions were filled
by the appointment OF civilians to which
retired officers could have brought pro-
fessional training, valuable knowledge
and large experience" This was a matter
in which the President and the War Depart
ment had no option, because the employ
ment of retired army officers on active duty
is forbidden by law. In time Of peace this
restriction Is wise. If such officers were
brought back for active work they would
keep others from doing the duties for
which they are paid. But in war, with an
army as small as ours, one Of the first ex-
p%eriences is that there are not enough
trained officers for urgent needs.
Tho law making retirement compulsory
in the army at the age Of "a was not enacted
until after the close Of the civil wal, and the
war with Spain is the only one we have had
since then. A leading object In the law was
to facilitate promotions on the active list,
and hence an arbitrary age was fixed for
retirement, although for bureau and other
duties some officers are still valuable after
the age of "a. AS the commission says,
sit does not appear reasonable that
an arbitrary law should prevent. dur
ing the existence Of war, the use Of
experienced men merely on account Of
their age" The War Department should
nave a discretionary power to employ them
temporarily, for certain purposes, so as not
to trench on the active organization that
may be needed in the field"
One Of the amendments proposed by the
Senate Military Committee to the Hull bill
exactly covers this ground, by prescribing
that in time of war the Secretary Of War
may employ retired officers on active duty
other than the command Of troops, with the
active pay and allowances Of their grades.
This useful provision should become a law.

fact that "men Of wealth dropped into the

This is a favorite subject with Mr.. Pm
GREE, who in spite of the plutocratic ten
denotes Of the Republican party has twice
allowed himself to be elected Governor Of
Michigan on the Republican ticket. He
has been a money getter himself and his
remarks about narrownes and selishness
must be regarded as an interesting per-
sonal disclosure.
One highly important detail for the edit
cation Of the Republican party and the dis
comfture of the d%omineering Republican
plutocrats is still anxiously awaited from
PNaREE. How much money does it take
to make a man a plutocrat and conse-
quently ineligible to Office in the Repub-
lican party purified and with its money
changers driven out ? What is the permits
sible limit?

Lord Charles Beresford and the Whirli-
gig of Time.

The presence in New York OF Rear Adj
miral Lord CHARLIE BEREsFoRD is graft
flying TO most Americans who have memo
ries. The Rear Admiral is q fine type OF
tho British sailor. He is esteemed the
world over for his professional ability, his
professional record, and his personal char
acter. He was tho conspicuous figure at
Alexandria. He has always done his duty,
| and he has always told the truth. He was,
moreover, one Of the earliest OF American
| expansionists. He once nailed up the
American coat-of-arms in Hawaii.
But Lord CHARLES BEREsFoRD had first
taken down our eagle and stars In those
islands. The circumstance are worth re-
calling now.
In 1854, during our civil war, when the
attitude OF the British peerage and part of
the British people toward the United
States Government was not exactly
what it ia in these happier days, one
OF her Majesty's men-of-war happened
to be at Honolulu. Hawaii at that time
was regarded by many British states
men as a desirable acquisition for the
Crown. The preponderance OF American
interests there was distasteful to some of
the spirited youth aboard the Clio, or the
Sutlej-we are not quite sure which ship 1t
was. Two cadets in the British naval SER
vice, both OF them sons Of peers, went
ashore on a lark one night and illustrated
their contempt for the American Govern
ment by tearing down the coat-of-arms
which adorned the gateway Of the United
States Legation, and carrying off the pur-
Joined shield to their ship.
Mr.. L1NcoLN's Minister to Hawaii was
DR.. JAMES MCBRIDE of Oregon. He ascer-
tanned from natives that the authors of the
outrage were young British officers. He
procured a search warrant, recovered the
venerated emblem, and discovered the
names OF its ravishers. The Captain Of the
British man-of-war and the British Minis
ter at Honolulu both apologized.
That was not enough for DR.. MCBRIDE.
He insisted that the two sons Of peers who
tool dow the coat-of-arms should publicly
restore 1t to its place with their own hands.
The Captain and the British Minister pro-
tested against this requirement. 1t was
too humiliating to the service, too disgrace
full to the young noblemen concerned. DR..
MCBRIDE was inflexible, and after consid-
cradle diplomatic correspondence and some
delay he had his way.
The incident was subsequently reported
to Secretary SEWARD, who made an inter-
national affair Of 1t. The English Govern
ment formally apologized. If our r~ecollec-
ton is right, the two frisky sons Of peers
were suspended or temporarily dismissed
from the British naval service.
In the year 1899. on his errand Of amity
and fraternity and cooperation in the
Pacific, it will interest Rear Admiral Lord
CHARLES BEREsFoRD to inspect the sub
Joined reproduction of a sketch made in
Honolulu thirty-ive years ago. 1t repre-
sents the two young British noblemen in
the act of mailing up the American eagle
on the archway Of the gate leading to the
American Legation, at high noon, in the
presence, as history records, Of a thousand
or SO hugely interested spectators:

dums must be allowed TO utter. A few
months ago the Middle-of-the-Road Popu-
lists, or some OF them, held q convention at
Cincinnati. They loved the initiative and
referendum, yet when it was proposed to
submit TO the Populist voters the question OF
making nominations. the convention split,
and threwthe initiative and referendum out
Of the window. The Union Reformers will
have to be careful. No doubt their univer-
sal specific will do all that it Is advertised
to do, but 1t can't be expected to work
when its own friends will not give 1t a
chance. "All persons believing in the
principle OF direct legislation, without re-
gard to past party Affiliations, will be enti-
tied to a seat and n voice in the Cincinnati
Conference" In this tumult Of voices will
the sole and sacred principle be respected ?
Let us hope so, for the country ought to
have the advantage Of all the now forms
of insuring II. JOE BAILEY and BILLIE MA
Son cannot patrol the Constitution forever,
and when they give up their jobs, the initia-
tive and referendum may come in very
handy. In the noble words written moro
than four years ago by the Hon. CRUDE
S1NKENzooPER, the Silver Singer Of tho
0zarks:
THE limping laws, twill mend 'um.
The peoples rights, defend 'um.
Initiative and referendum -
1t Is for the Union Reform party to fulfil
this prophecy.

Which n of the two young gentlemen
acting 30 reluctantly as heraldic support
ers Of the United States coat-of-arms,
while a jacky pounds the nails, Is Lord
CHARLES ~BEREsFoRD, we are unable to
say; but one Of them he was. The
Rear Admiral may be on the lion side, or
he may be o. the unicorn side. Perhaps
with the expert assistance of his friend and
host, the Hon. ADRIAN s. HEWITT, he will
succeed in picking himself out, for he is
certainly there. The gentleman with a tall
hat, on the sidewalk, is DR.. MCBRIDE. The
gentleman in a light overcoat, whose back
is turned, Is the British Minister. The gen.
tleman with a naval cap Is Lord CHARLES
BEREsFoRD's Disguised Captain. The group
on the other side, including Americans,
Hawaiians and Chinese. represents the pop
ulace assembled to behold this memorable
ceremony OF reparation.
Nobody will suppose that we reproduce
this picture or recall this incident in order
to detract from the dignity and graceful
ness Of Rear Admiral Lord CHARLES BEREs-
FoRD's present mission to America. On
the contrary, incident n picture empha-
size the significance of the invitation he
brings, and the fraternal words he utters.
What wonders Time works! Thirty-ive
years ago Lord CHARLES BEREsFoRD was
mailing up the American emblem in a re-
mote island OF the Pacific, now forever
American territory. To-day his warmest
desire Is for the advance Of the American
flag across the Pacific, side by side with the
banner to which his first allegiance is due.

There spoke good sense and patriotism.
The Democrats OF the Missouri House Joined
with the Republicans in commencing the
| vlgor with which the war was carried to n
successful end. 1t was q war splendid for
the American arms, and brilliant with unin-
terrupted victory. The American losses
were unexpectedly small. Tho gains, ac-
tual and potential, wereunexpectedly great.
Not merely in the Caribbean, but In the
Pacific, the b%enumbing and impotent rule
Of Spain was ended. The boundaries of
civilization and freedom were enlarged.
The territory of the United States was in
creased. The naval strength and CONNER
cial opportunities OF the United States were
increased. The prestige Of the United
States was increased. The i'll wishers Of
America in Europe have seen that she can
fight, not merely with bravery but skill
fully, and that a long period OF peace had
not weakened her energies or her spirit.
In power and in the respect of mankind the
United States stands greatly higher than 1t
stood when the war with Spain was begun.
In the consciousness OF its power and it's
opportunities it has gained an inestimable
advantage.
Yet a portion Of the press has given its
energies to denouncing and abusing the
conduct of the war and has visited the
organizers OF victory with as much con-
tumely as II they had brought ruinous
disaster upon the country, The Admins
tration has been guilty Of victory, nothing
else, and has been tried and condemned for
1t by the organs Of Bedlam. In other coun-
tries, and in this country hitherto. 1t has
not been the custom to punish success.
But now all the organs Of Bedlam are
pumping because, although the war was a
succession Of victories on land and sea, it
was not carried or by Gen. MILES; because
that many-voiced warrior has a sore head,
with nothing in particular in it; because 1t
has been discovered by the sentimentalists
and the fakirs that it is possible for q SOL
der to die without wounds; and because war
is war n not a picnic.
The resolutions Of the Missouri House Of
Representatives show that sanity has not
departed utterly from the Democratic
party, and that the sense Of fair play and Of
pride In the achievements Of American
soldiers and sailors can get the better Of
hidebound partisanship.
