Wilson and Cleveland.

Senator Nardaman in his able speech OF
the canal tolls question suggested thd'
the President heard too much nat'eis
and too little frank advice. That is true
of every President. The majority OF
n,,blic men who visit the White House
are seeking favors and adopt the address
| of eourtiers. And yet frankness is not
necessarily fatal in such circumstances.
A case in point may be cited from the
first Cleveland administration: MT
Cleveland moved slowly in making ap-
pointments to Office stranger 10 ma
| tional life, and even to the national leao
ers of his party, he thought 1t best 10
look around a little before making
changes from republicans to democrats.
The policy created much discomfort; but
the democratic leaders. with their plat
ters still empty, and timid on that &C
count hesitated about taking the matter
up with the President, who was by no
means an angel when under criticism.
Finally, man with the requisite nerve
appeared. He was James B. Eustis OF
Louisiana, who in a public interview dis
cussed the situation and condemned the
course of Mr.. Cleveland. He declared
that competent and deserving democrats
had been kept waiting too long, and that
the party would suffer as the result. This
was in 1855, before the country had be-
come committed SO strongly as at present
to the principle of civil service reform.
The deHverance did not at the time
improve the relations between Mr.. Eustis
and Mr.. Cleveland, but the courage of
the former was not lost on the latter.
When Mr. Cleveland. after defeat in 1883,
Hoc i,, he
Mr. Eustis-who in addition to sand pos
sessed very high order of ability-and
the Louisianian was appointed ambassa-
dor to France. His name had been con-
sidered in connection with the secretary
ship of state: and his selection for that
Office. it was generally conceded later
would have been more fortunate than the
one made. For while Judge Gresham
was an able and most excellent man, he
lacked the knowledge Of foreign affairs
equipment of Mr.. Eustis.
Mr.. Wilson has exercised the same
sort of influence over the democratic
leaders Of this day that Mr.. Cleveland
did over those of that day. Men who
have differed with him have hesitated to
tackle him. Their platters being empty,
and having need Of sustenance for their
constituents, they have feared the conse-
quences Of open criticism. 1t was not
until Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Underwood
showed the way that Mr.. Wilson began
to hear plain talk from members of his
own party. Since then he has heard a
good deal Of it. and is now advised that,
for the lack Of 1t. his administration has
| suffered in several sections of the coun-
try
1t is moro than likely that If Mr.. Will
| son had been less the New Leader and
more the Old Leader-had received more
frank counsel. and less acquiescence In
'ungrudgtng measure'-he would today
be stronger than he is in the confidence
of the country.

Royal Embarrassments.

When King Edward ascended the
throne of England fifteen years ago he
'ound IL possible to enjoy a wide
.ange of personal freedom owing TO
he length of time during which he
1ad been as Prince of Wales at
liberty to 80 and come practically
as he pleased. During his reign of eleven
years he probably felt the restraint of
5ingship as little as any British monarch
Of history. His son. the present George
V. succeeded to this condition and has
until quite recently had an exceptional
range of personal activity in no wise in
terfering with his monarchical duties or
iignities. Now, however. in consequence
Of the militant activities of the suffra-
gists in the British capital the king has
found himself suddenly and seriously
cramped in the matter of public ap-
2earances and even In the last few weeks
aas been c3ppelled to hedge himself

Rewarded for Political Services.

of course Mr. Wilson has made ap-
pointments as rewards for poltlcai
services Name the President OF the
United States of whom the same thins
NAV not be said. Try to conceive Oh
a situation in which President ~oulo
be free of the necessity. Those in tne
mast have done it. Mr. Wilson is DONG
il. and his successors will do it. 49,.
The case of Mr. Folk was cited IN
the House Saturday, and mention maoe
of the fact that he was a candidate
for the democratic nomination Tor
President two years ago. True. Out
not at Baltimore. His candidacy did
not last that long. 1t died in the
shade of Mr. Clarks candidacy. AS
soon as Missouri got her bearings she
gave her support to the son who had
fattering prospects of success. MI
Clark's claims were SO much stronger
than Mr. Folks there was no COM
parison
Still, Mr. Folk did good service for
Mr. Wilson in the campaign for cleo
tlon. and some reward for him was
mentioned in the early speculation
about the democratic triumph. tip
circulated that he would be the new
Attorney General Another. that he
would draw one of the prizes in the
diplomatic service. The first place he
drew was modest by comparison with
either of those, and the one he now
holds is not above his ability as
lawyer or his deserts as a partisan
Mr. Lincoln appointed to places in
his cabinet three of the men who. had
been his rivals for the Chicago nomi-
ip Chase
and Mr. Cameron each had strong
following, and all three had worked
hard for his election. They were re
warded for their work; and two of
them-Mr Seward and Mr. Chase
proved great aids to Mr.. Lincoln in
Office In rewarding them for political
services rendered he himself rendered
a service to the country.
Mr. Wilson called none of his rivals
to his side but maybe for the reason
that. with one exception. they were not
open to an offer. Mr.. Marshall had
been his running mate on the national
ticket Mr. Clark was sure of re-
election as Speaker Of the House. and
Mr. Underwood as floor leader. and
both preferred further legislative
service to cabinet service.
The exception was Gov harmon OF
Ohio, who was retiring from that Of
Zee. But as he had been blacklisted
as a reactionary at Baltimore. and on
that account had made so poor an ap-
pearance in the balloting, Mr.. Wilson
.ould not, or at any rate did not, take
him into account.
Mr.. Bryan had not been in the pic
ture at Baltimore except as Mr.. Will
sons friend in the crisis. As he had
nominated Mr.. Wilson. he was entitled
to recognition and reward for his serv-
Ices then and later; and the reward
Mr. Wilson bestowed was not too
great Had Mr.. Bryan been slighted.
either by the offer of a small office. or
oy no offer at all. Mr.. Wilson would
nave made costly blunder at the
outset.

Thinking by Proxy.
From the Philadelphia Record.

The sarcastic Mr.. Mann said in the
House that the progressives do not
know what their sentiments are until
the gentleman from Kansas (Mr MUIR
dock) goes over to New York and asks
Col. Roosevelt what the gentleman
from Kansas thinks" OF course the
progressives are abundantly capable of
thinking, and probably they rather en-
Joy the exercise. But If they INDUCED
themselves at all they might think
something different from what Mr.
Roosevelt was thinking at the mo-
ment. and this would involve a heart
breaking collision.

national. 1t is hoped, will never arrive.
and surely 1t is undesirable to present in
this conspicuous manner indefinitely a
confession of inability to agree upon
matter which after all is one Of art rather
than of history. and which should be sus-

Public Baths at Night.
From the PHILADELPHIA Press.

FROM the Philadelphia Press.
The plan of the board Of recreation
to open the public bath houses at night
is so good and so obvious that one
wonders why 1t did not occur to some
one in authority during previous sum-
mers. There are twenty-three bath
houses in the city. and whether for
lack of lights or mere lack of dis.
erection. not more than two of then
have been kept open in the evening.

Obliterating the Past.
From the New York Mail.

from the New York Mall.
There is no reason why all Americans
should not rejoice in the dedication OF
the monument raised at Arlington by the
women of the south to the Confederate
dead. 1t typifies the reverence Of the
southern women for those who died, a.
they felt and believed. in the defense
Of the homes in which the southern wom-
en- of the civil war period made SO many
sacrifices and underwent so many priva
tions.
