PEARSON probably asks for no sympathy in his retirement from the post-office. He has had the place long enough, and there are thousands of men as fit as he for that responsibility. Then, too, this is not the period for mugwumping, and every man of that persuasion ought to be willing and anxious to remark that the place of honor is the private post. CAUSE AND EFFECT. OME RECENT ELECTIONS went the wrong way because of dif- ferences between Mayor Jones, Alderman Smith, and Commissioner Thompson. ‘These local comests are considerably local; and yet it must be admitted that President Harrison lost the town of Skaneateles because Jones Smith Ferguson wasn’t given the postmastership in the building just east of the town pump. Ab, what dynamite for the world there is in the question whether Farmer Higgins bought only the cow of Farmer Viggins, or whether the veal thereto appertaining was a part of the bar- FILLING THE OFFICES. NATURAL instinct of the people is that’ in the selection of a president he is to be the head of the government. The mistakes or the successes of an administration are assumed to be personal. Justly or otherwise, the responsibility is his. ‘The extraordinary and almost irresisti ble pressure of personal as well as political demands is not fully appreciated. Yet clamor, if loud and long enough, will drown the voice of judgment. It is not unusual for men to elect themselves imaginary presidents and proclaim a policy and pur- pose in such selection that from the individual standpoint is polit- ical perfection. delusive that it glorifies grum- bling as criticism. It was claimed by the “ in- dependent press” that Mr. Cleve- land was and would be stronger than his party and that hisadmin- istration would be personal rather than political. It was tobe anera of administrative purity, rather than a president simply, that was to be inaugurated. Assuming the honesty of the expectation, its vanity was only equaled by its failure. It was egotism chal- lenging a cyclone. With far less self-consciousness, and a greater prudence of promise, President Harrison must find his task nev- ertheless no light one. The tide that ebbed with the outgoing of General Arthur rises and rolls aggressively in again, No man- date will stay its flood until it has spent itself, The executive can hope only to capture. its freightage and guide its force. In the nomination for repre- sentative positions and places of trust of men conspicuously known to the country through their connection with the press, President Harrison has escaped, the accusation of a preference for wealth over capacity, or the warding of honors to the lowest grades of political assistance. If the managers of great newspapers are not leaders of public opinion they are certainly abreast of it. ‘ In this country there is no such system of political training and family preference as there is in Europe. Wealth there is so largely inherited that military and civil professions, with even slim chances of promotion, are eagerly sought. The respect shown here for the winner of a fortune, through ability and effort, on the “other side” carries the slur and dis- credit of. trade, The Ayrian blood of that part of the Caucasian race, liberalized by centuries and struggle, is still colored by a touch of caste The voluntary exiles that populated our coasts sowed the seed of restive thought and broke the bondage of a semi-serfdom. The Anglo-Saxon race on this continent, for the first, stripped itself of mediavalism and stood on its own feet. It is this independence that. gilded as it may be with a glow of sentimentalism, demurs to the rewarding of a son for his father’s deeds, It is the essential element of American civilization that it respects living rather than ancestral greatness. Wealth can descend and lands be devised. Thinned and adultered blood, mixed to weakness, Conceit is so sling-alley alone)—"* W comicbooks.com
