AN UNFAITHFUL NURSE. The Republican parents of the babe, quaintly called Civil Service Reform, had entrusted it with a nurse who came with a good character from her last place, in Alba- ny, backed by plentiful endorsement of others, and no end of professions of fidelity on her own part, For a while she seemed to be trustworthy, and she might have re- mained so if the fellows of her own class had let her alone. She got to flirting with po- licemen and other followers and the result was neglect of the babe and an overturn of its carriage into the dirty pool of party pol- itica, If any one doubts the justice of the charge against the new guardians of Civil Service Reform, let him consider the infractions of both the spirit and letter of reform in the appointments of the administration, begin- ning with Manning and Higgins and ending with the complete restoration of the old spoils system under the “offensive partisan- ship” device. | The administration is now down to the business of distributing federal patronage to control state elections, as witness the in- creased attention now given to partisan ap- pointments in Ohio, New York and Virginia so called pivotal states. The Virginia election will determine the fate of Mahone’s party and the choice of two U. S. Senators. The Ohio election, being in October, is al- ways a test and a powerful influence on other slide into the same pool where all other pub- lic interests are floundering neglected. DONNYBROOK HENDRICKS. Vice-President Hendricks ought to put a proviso to his Feniun speech at Indianapolis such as he has been attaching to his aimless peregrinations and vaticinations all summer, viz: That it all has no political significance. If his lion-tail-twisting effort have any significahce, it is that the Vice-President is tired of being out of politics. After years of intrigue, mud-rolling and self-abandon- ment, Mr. Hendricks suddenly found him- self voted into the retirement of the Vice- Presidency by the American people, and the sentence rigorously enforced by the Presi- dent’s exclusion of him from the adminis- tration. It was notin his nature to stop acting and talking, and as American poli- and he are ‘ out,” he turns to Ireland. “TI do not know of anything tbat would give me greater pleasure than to attend a constitutional convention at Dublin to frame a separate government for Ireland,” he shouts, Tue JupGe feels authorized to say that the United States though ‘a friendly pow- er,” will unanimously delegate Mr. Hen- dricks to the desired position, provided he will go at once and stay until Ireland is free. We want no Keiley gigging-back in this matter at the firat rebuff. ‘This will be ‘hard lines” (in the elegant phrase of Lord Randy) for the British Lion. Bat if the Eagle could get along with Hen- dricks fifty or sixty years, surely the Lion can stand him the rest of the time. Besides, England ought to take him off our hands, Aren't we keeping her O’Dona- van Rossa without charge? tic DANGEROUS FRIENDSHIP. There is no toleration or excuse for com- munists or dynamiters in this country, as there may be in someof the European states, because the circumstances are radically dif- ferent. So long as there is plenty of unim- proved property here that any agitator can have for the asking and taking, what excuse is there for his demanding the property of some other man, except the desire to injure individuals more than to benefit himself? Selfishness we expect in everybody and and the government here opens the door for its exercise in peaceful, industriousand profit- able ways. But the communist is not satis- fied. He wants the accumulation of others, | rather than to accumulate anything himself. | His principle is that all property is criminal, He demands an even divide of the evidences of crime. It is the old spasmodic robbery of the middle ages reduced to a precise sys- tem. any American can have anything in com- mon. If there are hardships and oppres- sions in the workingman’s lot—as there are many—his remedy lies in his own hands in co-operation, But it must be with the knights of industry und not with the knights robbery, Asa matter of fact, the communist in this country, in principle and designs, is more antagonistic to labor than he is to cap- ital. The first thing the Laboring-man uecds to boycott is communism. RULINGS. A Goon MANY alleged “living issues” were still born; were the progeny of the still, in fact. Tue New York Times and Post are occasionally accredited as “(Reps.)” If 80, they must be cotton-back and shoddy reps, Tue Democrats cLais to be for protec- tion of wool in Ohio, Lut in the South, where they are in power, they do anything but protect it or the darkies under it, NOTHING 80 touching at this season of the year as the solicitude of each political party, per respective organs, lest the other should ‘ adopt a suicidal policy.” A sctentist has Ciscovered that woman’s sense of smell is more blunt than man’s, This seems fortunate when we remember the tobacco, stale beer and limburger that many husbands shed abroad with every breath. It 1s PRETTY late for Secretary Manning to “dain the Grand Army ”—about 25 years late. His strident strains should have joined with thousands of other Democrats in grey at a time when the objurgation could have been made effective. SoME ARDENT AND AspiRING Democrat will pretty soon demand that the adminietra- tion create a vacancy in the Trinity by re- moving as an offensive partisan the Deity, ‘on the ground that he has always been op- posed to the Democratic party. It is a UNCED that Miss Cleveland will publish a novel with a plot based upon her brother’s career. ‘From Jail to White House,” might be ‘a good title. There is a good deal of the novel in Mr. Cleveland’s career, and if it could be faith- fally written up would sell. Tue Epitor or THE N. Y. World—which he is a congressman—waxed wroth because the Department of Agriculture offered him thirty-two quarts of seed wheat as his allot- ment of spoils. This should teach the de- partment to offer N. Y. Democrats wheat in With this system neither the laborer, nor | the liquid form exclusively. comicbooks.com
