HILL ON HILL.
The stubborn opposition of Sena
tor Hill, of New York, to the con
Urination of President Cleveland's
two appointments for the United
States supreme bench has called
out a great deal of comment, pro and
con, and the more people think, the
more they are inclined to c ndemn
a course dictated by spite rather
than by reason. TLe more easily
do we reach this conclusion when
we see Senator Hill’s real sentiments
on confirmation of Presidential ap
pointments by the Senate His un
biased opinion was given some years
ago, when his position was not
antagonistic to the man who has
since defeated him before the Na
tional Democratic convention. This
opinion is given by the Washington
correspondent of the Boston Tran
script, who says:
This is what Senator David B.
Hill, governor of New York, said in
an interview only seven short years
ago, concerning the confirming pow.
er of the Senate:
The confirming power has been used
always only to be abused. It does not re
ject bad men. It rejects good men to keep
badmenin. It does not work as a help or
enlightenment to the President or govern
or. It works as a ball and chain on both.
It makes in the federal Senate a series of
as many Presidents in petto as there are
representatives of States in that body. It
makes senators office brokers and execu
tives the bondmen of such office brokers.
The duties of executives is administrative.
They should have the right to appoint and
remove their agents in administration. The
business of senators is participation in leg
islation. They should be free to attend to
it. Now they claim in effect to be assistant
Presidents and assistant governors, and
seek to make elected Presidents and elected
governors subject-o them. Presidents are
chosen by the people indirectly, but really.
Federal senates are chosen by subsidiary
elections in State legislatures. A president
on taking office as the representative of
the national will find himself confronted
by a Senate of which two-tliirds were
chosen four and six end two years before
He cannot name his own cabinet. Every
member of it must be passed on by an
oligarchical club of patronage mongers b‘-
for» he can have his services. The success
ors of the same oligarchy hate sought to
dictate to President Cleveland, to invade
the precincts of his very mind, to make
him tell why he preferred one subordinate
to another in carrying out his onerous and
solemn trust. He has rightly resisted such
infernal insolence within his constitutional
limits. The limits ought to be extended
until the last vestige of the confirming pre
tense of it been destroyed.
THE CHANCE OF CHOLERA IN 1894
For over two years the Asiatic
cholera has been epidemic in western
Russia, but, as we have had reports
of the subsidence of its ravages
during the winter months, there was
hope that there might not be a re
currence this spring of the unhappy
experiences of that season in 1892
and 1893. We regret that the des
patches at hand are unfavorable.
There have been violent outbreaks
of the disease during the past week
at a number of the populous centres
of the western provinces; one of the
most violent of them as far west as
the city of Warsaw, and from that
place both Germany and Austria are
again directly menaced.
There is reason, therefore, to fear
that New York will have to be on
the guard for yet another year, and
that there will be need for the utmost
-vigilance on the part of the officers
of our quarantine service. We do
not doubt the ability of these officers
to maintain the safety of the city.
It is to be hoped that the Eu
ropean Governments represented in
the International Sanitary Commis
sion which has held a conference in
Paris will provide for the prompt
execution of those defensive meas
ures which have ifiet with the ap
proval of the delegates. This au
thoiitativc Commission was organ
ized for the express purpose of pre
paring an anti cholera programme
acceptable to the powers of the world
and it will be a public shame if the
recommendations it has made
year shall be neglected as were
those made at its session of last
year.—New York Sun.
MALCONTENTS.
The Nation suggests to our discontent
ed and misguided friends, the anarch
ists, an experimental plt.n for demonsta
ting the truth and practicability of their
ideas before they continue further in
their pres nt attempt of forcing them
down the throat of society at large.
The plan is simple, too simple to be
called ingenious, but eminently practi
cal. It proposes a select and si'eure soci
ety of genuine all-wool anarchists to be
located somewhere in this h. ...isphenc
where land can be had for nothing.
Then let them concentrate, and, un
disturbed by the mischievous devices of
wealth, make peacefully that Utopian
society which they are now undertak
ing to construct by the application of
bombs to the present article in use.
This, is a splendid idea, but one the an
aerhists will hardly take to. He is in for
reforming society by force and not by
example. Shut out from opportunity
to become obnoxious he would scarcely
survive. Anarchists, -socialists, nihilists,
extremists of all kinds will always in
future existt as they have under one
name or nother, existed in the past,
supposing themselves of ad
vanced ideas they would be reformers.
Did they apply their reform ideas indi
vidually, each man to himself, society
would not seem so wicked.
The condition of man is supposed to bo
advancing in quality between man and
man. These anarchists are simply ex
emptions in the boiling sea of humanity
and will only cease with the millen
nium.
A CHECK ON’ CENTRALIZATION.
TheNewYo v k Times makes this
important comment on the repeal of
the Federal election law:
“It marks, moreover, a definite
abandonment of the policy of the
centralization of power io the Fed
eral Government. In theory there I
is much to be said for that policy.
In practice it has generally worked
badly, ar.d often very badly. Its
weak point is that under our system
of government there is no reason
ably efficient means ot securing res '
ponsibility proportioned to central ’
ized power. We can set up a pow- •
erftil central machine, as was done I
by the election law, but there : s no :
adequate control over it and no ;
chance to enforce any. Another
fact of importance is that when a '
machine of this sort is opposed in
any state there is no disposable;
force to overcome the opposition. ,
That would practically require n j
permanent and disciplined Federal;
police, which is so impracticable as
to be absurd.
We have probably been the last,
for a long time of attempts at ex- '
tending Federal action and influence ,
to tbe details of government in the .
states, and from our past experience i
we have no reason to regret the fact.” •
REFORM IN APPOINTMENTS.
Americans elect a President for
something more than the appoint
ment of officials. There is a wide
spread sympathy with Mr. Cieve
laid’s impatience under the pressure
brought to bear directly upon him
by the supporters of candidates.
Mr. Cleveland, however, brings no
small part of the pressure upon
himself. He undertakes more labor
than any single man ought to en
dure.
In the matter of appointments
there is a growing necessity for a
recognized system of distributing
responsibility.
The civil service reform which
many members of Congress approve
is a law fixing a four years’ term for
every appointive officerand appoint
ing the officers among the States ac
cording to population. Under that
law every officeholder would remain
for the term, or during good be
havior. At the end of the term his
superior officer would have the choice
of reappointing him or selectings
new man. It may be supposed
that a reform so conducted would
leave the chief magistrate free from
the labor of personally selecting
minor officials. He could choose
his Cabinet and the more important
subordinate officers, and hold them
responsible to him tor efficiency of
work and party sense.
Fa.se civil service reform and
maleducstion in party duty among
Senators and Representatives have
stood in the way of a wise regulation
the Rome tribune, Thursday. February is. is»4.
of appointments. Even before a
true reform law is adopted Mr.
Cleveland could apply some of its
rules.- St. Louis Republic.
The New York Times conveys
this interesting information :
Ata meeting of the Reorganize
tion Committee of the Nicarauga
Canal Construction Company, held
yesterday afternoon in the company’s
office, 46 Wall Street, it developed
that the stockholders of the com
pany are almost unanimous in their
approval of the Bartlett plan of re
organ’zation.
Under the agreement for reorgani
zation recently proposed by the
comiuittee, stockholders of the
corpany representing more than
92.0U0 out of the total of 120,000
shares have already assented to the
agreement, and have deposited their
certificates with the Central Trust
Company, in accordance with the
agreement.
The agreement offers additional
benefits in the company to be formed
to those stockholders who pay an
assessment of $3.50 on each share of
stock deposited with the trust com
pany. Already there has been paid
iu assessments more than $152,000,
and it is believed that nearly all the
stockholders will p»y the assess
ment. The company will then be
enabled to meet all its indebtedness.
The certainty of its complete
reorganization is assured, and it will
soon be in condition to proceed with
work on the canal.
Secretary Herbert is now wrest
ling with a very practical question —
how to coax money from Congress
for men to man the new ships. Nine
new ships will be in commission by
April 1, and at least two thousand
more men will be needed. The com
plement of men—seven thousand five
hundred—is practically full, and
some of the new ships require as
many as four hundred and fifty men.
Although it is not definitely an
nounced, it is very well understood
■ that the Naval Committee in the
• House will not even ask for more
I ships this year. This is a great
I disappointment to Secretary Herbert,
who had a natural ambition to in
; crease the navy. But Uncle Sam is
i not in a generous mood at present,
i and has outtoned up bis trousers’
pockets very determinedly—the
i moie so, that he has but little in
I them.
i e
The legislature of New York
State has passed tbe bill for the
amalgamation of tbe cities of New
York and Brooklyn and other places
’ clustering around New York Harbor.
, I'he bill gives the people the right
. to vote on the question of consoli
dation and a spirited canvass will
soon begin. If the plan is carried
out the great municipality to result
will be the second largest if not the
largest city in the world.
Massachusetts is wrestling with
a new system conveyancing. The
bill to that effect has come out of
the legislature committee in two
shapes, one recommended by the
majority and one by the minority.
The idea is the have a registrar and
to have the state assure the title
after certain processes have been
gone through with.
Complicity in the conspiracy to land
Chinese illegally at Portland, Ore., is
charged against W L. Boese, chairman
of the state committee.
