THE RECENT MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.

The municipal elections which held in a
number Of the States this week appear, upon the
whole in the majority of cases have resulted In
democratic victories. In several Of the larger cities
the democrats have not only but made great gains
compared with the action of the voters in the
places in November last.
In Chicago Carter Harrison has been reelected by
iattering vote, in spite OF the open opposition Of
Altged and others in the democratic party. The vic
tory il conspicuous tribute not only to Mayor Har-
risons personal standing and popularity in Chicago.
but to the general excellence Of his administration 1t
is triumph too that is calculated to keep Mr.. Harri
In the public eye for further and higher honors.
In Ohio the larger cities all show big democratic
gains, and Cleveland Mr.. Hannas home city, elects a
democratic administration IN St Louis the democrats
achieved a signal victory. The republican incumbent
was not only defeated but the statement Is made that
the city is normally republican by about $4,000 votes.
All over the Central States and Middle West in fact
the democrats have than held their own. no
table exception was in Denver, where shrewd eonbna.
tons defeated the democratic candidates.
Of course, no great party questions, a rule, en-
tored into these various municipal contests Local u.s.
sues and comparative fitness OF determined most
of the results probably but democrat not fail to
see encouragement for his party in the fact that the
organization appears to he in such excellent form
throughout the large section of the country In which
these elections have occurred After the bad National
oeteat less Than six months many may have i'm
agined that the party dsorganized or that its
ranks We're indifferent and discouraged and incapable
just now OF putting up an enthusiastic or vigorous
night. But these results in multitude of towns and
cities demonstrate that the democratic spirit is as az
gressiye as ever while the organization retains it's full
effectiveness
1t is only another illustration of the old historical
fact that the democracy is iudesructblo and always
ready for the battle. 1t may be at times DISCOURAGED
but when the hugle call is sounded the democratic
hoss rally again with as much fire and energy and ag
grossiyeness ever
These municipal elections point not only TO fierce
congressional campaign next year but they seem to
augur democratic success at that time resulting In

1t is gratifying to find, here and there leading re
publican paper that does not hesitate TO condemn the
practice which has Of late years grown up OF retiring
army and navy officers in the higher grade than
the they filed just before their retirement This
Is growing abuse and a matter OF unjustihable ex.
trayagancc that The Post has more than once com
mented upon
The practice has been particularly fragrant during
Mr. McKineys administration In calling attention to
this matter the Philadelphia North American regards
the making Of one day generals and colonies" as a
serious affair" It has become grave abuse" con.
tinnes the North American because

an unusual thing for officer Of high from
espe Every colonel ook to Se b n ,
1t can not he uhfuy sainsaid that such practice tends
70 cheaper The honor of rank and puts promotion
This new practice is more common in the navy
than in the army. The rank Of commodore between
those OF captain and rear admiral, has virtually been
abolished and the captain who is ready to retire is
Jumped at once TO admiral and retired as such
The law permits the retirement of officers on three.
forths the pay Of the rank they have attained when
cause for retirement overtakes them The spirit of the
law Is that captain in the navy for example should
retire on threefourths captains pay The regular
pay for that grade at is $500 year Retirement
pay would not. therefore, exceed S2625 The nav Of
rear admiral is from $500 to $500 that by jumping
captain up to admiral's rank for the purpose
OF retiring him. gives such officer greater pay during
his retirement than he received during his active
serylce-whioh was manifestiy contemplated by
the law The principle holds good in all these
cases of promotion with retirement in view
The country appreciates the services Of its veter-
ans both IN the navy and army and is willing to see
them cared for in their old by liberal pensions but
this practice in question is simply robbery OF the pub
lie treasury and imposition upon the taxpayers
OF the Nation who have paid these officers generously
throughout the whole term of service for their Iabors
In behalf of the country.
No officer, In word. should receive greater pay
during hs retirement than he earned while in active
service, and as the army and navy grow larger and
the retired list becomes and more imposing the
country VIII see yet greater reason for stopping this
recllessness with the public funds.

FEW political events of the immediate
future possess greater interest to the vet
Grams than the Senatorial election in Ore
gon. They have had no more steadfast
and effective friend in Congress than Sen
ator Geo w. Mcbride. who comes up for
reelection on the 18th of this month, and
not the least of his merits is that he never
talks about what he is doing or going TO
do, but just does it, quietly, Mt the right
time and in the best way, and not infre-
quently even the beneficiary OF his inter
yention first hears the good news through
some other source. May his tribe in
crease, An appeal to him on behalf of
an old soldier or his widow always re-
ceives attention, and he never is absent
from a roll-call affecting their interests.
In proportion TO Oregon's facilities he pos
sibly has accomplished more for his State
than any Pacific Coast representative of
recent years; but we view him from the
standpoint of the old soldier, whom he
honors and respects, and feel sure that,
could 'the boys" decide it, his reelection
would be foreordained. THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE wishes him not Happy New
Year, but new century.

wounded; Antietam; Fredericksburg, Va,
where he was again wounded and taken
prisoner of war. etc. In the field as q sol
der, in his chosen profession, the law,
as well as in the walks of civil life, our
