Truly II is very hard to please some
,,aorIe In last years campaigns the oppo-
nents of the President almost savaseiy ar
raigned him for his appointments from
civil life to the army which the war with
Spain called into being. 1t was in vain
that the Presidents friends explained that
he had been obliged to go to civil life Tor
many officers and that in doing so ne hau
been guided by the suggestions OF demo-
Gratis. populists and republicans. He shouio
not, it was replied, have gone there 1or
a single one. Where were the non-comms-
stoned officers among the regulars? why
not have advanced them? Many OF them
had seen years of service, ana WIN Up
portunity for larger usefulness would nave
served the country admirably. But III
stead of that, he had clapped shoulder
strains on a lot of SONS of sonebodies.'
wholly untitled for licking volunteers into
fighting shape, and the result had been con-
fusion and incompetency all along the line.
Now listen to this. Chairman Seward of
the democratic state committee of Ohio, In
mentioning the different sources from
which his party in that state expects sup
port in this years fight, says:
Eve expect to gain from the returned
volunteer soldier vote They feel that they
have not been treated right. In the forma-
ton and differing of the twenty regiments
recently organized, the volunteers We're al
most entirely ignored The first lieutenants
and captains of the regulars have been
made the lieutenant colonies. majors and
colonies of these new regiments. Ihls ac-
ton of the President has greatly incenSed
the officers of the volunteer regiments ana
their friends whether democrats or repub-
licans-"
Here it is to be observed, is a right
about-face. Last year, according to the
Presidents critics. the regulars were every
thing the volunteers nothing. Putting new
men, raw men, into commission in the
army was a crime. Had the President con-
sidered the good of the country and of the
soldiers he would have kept close to the
regulars. and put all of the important work
into their hands. This year, according to
these same men, the volunteers are every
thing, the regulars nothing. The Presi-
dent is attacked for advancing the regu-
lars Why does he pass over the volun
teers and take the regulars for the higher
places? Why are not the volunteers pre-
ferred?
And so 1t goes. II there really Is any
such discomfort as that described. even the
slightest il will be industriously cultivated
for political purposes. Every little rivu-
let must turn a wheel this year.

judiciary. This is surely sad frame of
mind for a Judge in the greatest city on
this hemisphere. A jurist who can wink at
barefaced custom Of extortion and office
selling and pretend to be conscentiously
satisfied that 1t Is honorable Is not the man
TO deliberate and decide upon the fndivfd-
ual rights of the people. The evil is not so
much in the fact that a great organization
controls the votes, that 1t controls the
men whom 1t elects to Office by means of
those votes. Not even the length of the jul
dicial term in New York-fourteen years
saves the community from the danger in
volved Scarce a judge ascends the bench
there who does not look forward to a con-
tinuance in office, even after fourteen years.
To enjoy this prospect he must continue
to stand we'll with the organization. He
must not only pay the price for the race,
but he must recognize the organizations re-
QUESTIONS for patronage throughout his
term. He must stand ready to wink at
infractions of the law committed by his
party's leaders or in the party's interests.
He must naturalize citizens at a scandalous
rate on the eve Of election. utterly shut
ting his eyes upon the disgraceful incom-
potency of the proof of compliance with the
law. He must cripple his court by excus-
ing jurors upon the instance of ward and
district leaders.
As soon as a man fails to see the differ
ence between a Contribution and an "as-
sessment" or between a candidate for the
judiciary and one for sheriff, ne becomes
unfit for the bench. OF all the offices in
the public gift that one should be surround
ed by the most rigid safeguards. No faint
of corruption or complacency toward spe-
cial interests can rest upon 1t without en-
dangering the community. Corruption may
exist In the lower planes of the admins
trative organization without debauching
the people as long as the courts remain
pure to check the evils. But once let these
places become envenomed with the poison
of political subserviency and the laws and
privileges of citizenship are seriously
threatened.

Considering the People.

1t is gratifying to find that the manage
ment of the new syndicate's lines in this
city has already undertaken to put into
effect the suggestions advanced by The
Star the other day concerning the posting
of items of information in the street cars.
Signs are to be hung under the hood of the
platform announcing the route and destina-
ton of each car. ard plaCards are 70 be
placed inside giving the transfer schedule.
The officials IN charge of the lines thus
show a cOmmendable desire to accommo-
date the proper wishes of the people If
they will but pursue this policy through
out they will make friends and patrons in
large numbers. The truth cannot he too
frequently stated that success in such en-
terprises is earned by the company which
seeks the most earnestly to give the people
the full value of their fare. There is an
unfortunate tendency on the part of some
Sc mi-public corporations to consider the
people as inevitable patrons, and to put
upon them all manner of indignities, which
it is thought must be borne Washingt on
has never favored such a disposition. The
ease with which remedies are found for
pronounced grievances has encouraged the
people at all times to demand a rigid com
pliance with the standards which have here
been set. Public sentiment means a great
deal more in this city than elsewhere, de-
spite the fact that there no local po-
ltical wires to pull and parties cannot be
pitted against each other as in other places.
Congress is usually willing to listen to d
representative presentation from the citi-
ZenS. The Commissioners are always avail
able mediums of communication. The
citizens themselves have been taught to ex-

From The Tea Press.
The Dewey fund must do all its growing
very soon, for the admiral will be here
shortly and then the money will be turned
over to him. The report published Satur-
day morning showed that thus far the peo-
pie have contributed little over $1,000.

IS POSITIVE
DECLINES TO FURTHER ASSIST
IMMIGRATION.
Formally Notifies Planters Committee
This Morning-The Recourse is Free
immigration.

A committee of planters waited on
the cabinet at IL o'clock this morning
on the subject of labor. Among those
in the party were John f. Hackfeld, J.
b. Atherton and G. Bolte. All of the
cabinet ministers were present part
of the time.
The planters presented forcefully the
proposition that annexation has not
disturbed the laws of the country, and
will not until congress acts in the mat
ter of legislation for Hawaii. Imml-
grafton and labor laws, contended the
committee, remained in precisely the
same position as before the flag raising,
and would be so until further notice
from Washington.
1t was the desire of the planters that
the present system be not interferred
with before the meeting of congress
in December.
Mr.. Dole replied that under the terms
of the treaty of annexation the govern
ment was of the opinion that the pres
ent immigration scheme could not go
on. The treaty was sweeping and In
conflict with several points in the sys-
tenn.
THE government is settled in it's
opinion" added Mr.. Dole, that immi-
grafton for labor purposes cannot be
further assisted.
The discussion continued informally
for some minutes afterward. The ex-
preston of the committee seemed to
indicate that the project of inaugural
ing an extensive plan for free immi-
grafton will be the future course.
