Old Dominion. under the Malone re-
gime. and was one Of the most eminent
jurists and practitioners In the South.

Senator Grover Cleveland.

Over in Jersey strong political
interest is trying to provide an an
swer TO the question of what we
shall do with our ex-Presidents, by
making "a Senator Of the only one
now extant. II is alleged that Mr..
Cleveland has been strongly urged
10 permit the use of his name in
connection with the Senatorial seat
now occupied by John F. Dryden,
and that he has declined.
The Jerseymen have worked up a
promising condition of political re-
volt, but the Record-Colby-Fagan
movement among the Republicans
has not developed strength enough
TO accomplish results without an al
lance with the Democrats. 1t takes
long time and great popular re-
volt TO oyerturn such an organiza-
tion as that of the Jersey RepubH-
cans. That Colby and Pagan failed
by no means proved that they did
not powerfully move public opinion
in the State.
But the chance OF defeating Dry
den by a fight within Republican
ranks is at an end. The next phase
is now under consideration. Dem
ocracy and protesting Republicanism
are trying TO get together and agree
upon a man big enough, in the State
and in the nation, to hold together
all the elements of opposition to
Dryden.
Grover Cleveland's name naturally
received first consideration. B The
newspaper reports rather vaguely
convey the information that he de-
clined to have his name used. Quite
naturally. \ man who has twice
been President could not author
ize" the statement that he was even
a receptive" candidate for any of
fee. But il does not follow that
without his autho -ity the organiza-
tion of an effective campaign for
him would De impossible. Citizens
with as high a sense of public duty
as that which has guided Grover
Cleveland since his first term in the
White House win probably not de-
cline possibility when it is actu- !
ally put upon them. But it is ask
ing too much of them to invite them |
10 hustle as candidates.

CumbS After Illness of Ten

Geddes, who died at the Sibley Memoir

after a gallant fight for life against

A SpOilS System Survival.

The case of Vivian J. Fagin, Unit
ed States marshal for the district
of Cincinnati, directs attention fore
IDLY TO one Of the weakest and yet
one of the most costly branches of
the executive service. It's labors
are far short of and its cost out of
all proportion to the number of
men it employs Many things con-
tribute TO give it this undesirable
character; but they are all fairly
comprehended in the statement that
in its present form it is distinctly
survival of the old spoils system.
Mr., Fagin has been found guilty
only of practices which prevail
among United States marshals.
None of them demand political con-
tributions from their subordinates.
None Of them ever receive a cent
save in the form Of voluntary offer
ings TO the political cause repre-
sented in the person of the marshal.
But ali of them take precious good
care not to continue in office sub
ordinates who are unwilling to
make these contributions volun-
tarily.
As matter of fact, practically
every United States marshaPs office
In the country Is a political dynamo.
The marshalship is a storage bat
terry for Congressional use. The
deputyships are the wires which
carry the current. That the mar
shall and every one of his aides are
officers of a court and ought to be
as free from extraneous control as
the court itself does not change the
fact. That is that the whole office
is regarded as a political asset and
made use of chiefly for political
ends.
Action like that tardily meted out
to Mr.. Fagin is punitive but not |
practically corrective. Assuredly it |
is not preventive If the root of
the evil is to be reached il must be |
by Withdrawing these offices from /
their present demoralizing control. |
And that can be done without a |
word of additional law-by the sim
pie process of including the deputy
marshals within the classified serv-
ice through an executive order.
In proof of the effectiveness of
this remedy, let the authorities con-
slider that fully 95 per cent of the
present violations Of the civil serv-
ice law arise within that portion of

In Keeping.

The taking of his own life by
AL Adams, the New York gambler.
bucketshop promoter, brewer, bank
er, saloonist, policy king, and ex-
convict, was only what might have
been expected Notorious by reason
of his term in prison, his health
wrecked and his ill-gotten fortune
impaired, he found no more JOY in
life than a pistol would conveniently
quench
As he had lived and waxed fnan-
cially prosperous by certain type
Of violence, SO he put himself be-
yond the pale of human disgrace
and dependency by violence of an
other type. 1t was quite in keeping
with his mode of life and thought.
Few men have ever exempIifed
the lessons of a wasted life more
pungently than did this same
Adams. He had extraordinary finan-
cial and executive ability, but he
used it TO the ruin of hundreds Of
thousands in petty gambling; ne
had instincts of gentleman. and
labored hard to see his sons and
daughters we'll placed in society,
but his own career destroyed that
ambition.
All his better impulses were made
fruitless by his transgressions. and
the kind of man he might have been
with his brains and his energy van
ished long ago in the man his
desPicable business had made him.
For years he seemed invulnerable,
prosperous, happy; then all at once
a particularly merciless district at
torney got on his scent and never
left it till he landed the quarry in
Sing Sing. That was the calamity
that even the toughened Policy
King" could not stand, and his
whole rotten fabric came tottering
to the ground.
"It often takes a convict to en-
force q moral lesson" some one has
said. This suicide makes it stiu
more impressive.

DEMOCRATS SCORE
STANDPAT POLICY
Campaign Text Book, IS
sued Today, Tells Chief
ly of Tariff.
NUMEROUS STATISTICS
Evidence Presented to Show That
American-Made Goods Sold Higher
Here Than Abroad.

/ Taking issue squarely with the stand
/ pat Republican claim that prosperity
/ viii be perpetual II the tariff is let
1 alone, the Democratic campaign book,
/ issued today argues that. instead OF
/ protection being panic-prOof. the great
panics Of this country have come uu-
/ der Republican tariffs; that in France
/ the great panics have come under the
/ high protection regime. and that Eng
/ land. with no protective tariff. has had
/ only one panic since 1873.
Likewise does the new textbook for
! Democrats combat the notion that the
tariff can't bc revised without doing all
sorts Of damage. The history Of tariff
changes, Of which the number has been
very large. is traced with reference TO
the relation Of tariff 10 panics, and the
conclusion IS that there IS no warrant
for the assumption that q tariff revl-
sion has invariably, or even commonly
been followed by disaster.
That the sponsors OF the original Re
publican policy Of protection were be-
levers IN protection as a means. not as
an end. and that the end which they
sought 10 reach was ultimate free trade,
IS emphasized by quotations from Gar
field, Blaine, and many others Of the
earlier leaders Of the Republican party.
Reciprocity Failure Denounced.
The failure Of the Republicans 70
carry out their pledges for reciprocity
is denounced with the conclusion that
as 20 per cent was added 10 Diugley
rates. In order 10 be traded on BY re-
ciprocity treaties, and as these treaties
have not been put into effect. the pres
ent tariff is obviously ~ per cent high
ct than IL ought 10 be. The part OF tho
tariff IN building up the great trusts IS
analyzed with much care by way OF
demonstrating the correctness Of Henry
o. Havemeyer's declaration that "tha
tariff Is the mother Of the trusts"
On the question OF whether protected
articles are sold abroad cheaper than at
home. long array Of evidence Is pre-
sented Senator Bacon's speech on this
