most lively interest, _ j^acalo.ny b
administration is on trial, an.trus- J,
suit will be reesQiFdfed as in
against the course being i
the President and his advisers. As
matter of fact, however, the Preside*
has so far, simply obeyed and executed
tlid laws he has found laid down bi
■law-making branch os the government,
He has enunciated no policy,
mended no law, and avoided giving ex
pression to his viedif on the giving
litlcal questions, and this course'he
will continue to pursue until in his first,
message to Confess .and the country,
in Decemlter tiextcha will clearly define
his position on living questions,
issues freely’, fairly anfl honestly
his position add administration -
only lie honestly on trial after im am
hie advisers have thus given to th ■
country the official expression o; their
views, and have marked out aefiictc’”
the policies theykvoidii pursue.
'Vhile the .prospects at this time are.
all most flattering for democratic vi
tories in New York, Ohio and Virgin¬
ia, t\e result of the elections in the -f
states cannot be Wl
as conclusive as to an endorsement or
condemnation of the President and his
administration as they will not be fai:
ly on trial until the people krow %.
policies they will advocate.
It is now apparent that the Repub.i
cans expect to run the next caigpa’sm
on the issues of fwentywyeitrs ago ; tlie
horrid remlniscencies of -a dead and
buried past, shrouded in the habili¬
ments of wr,e, and covered from Jifght
in the sacred mounds that are scatter
ed oyer tlie hills and valleys
from the lake to the gulf. The* people
of both sections, north and south, repu
datie this issue and in tlie spirit and
language of the greift. ehieftinn, whoa*
nortal rayuiains are scattered in River
»-■ Piifk a*B* IV, “ijt tie
I'ertce”."ITie issues that the masses
will insist upon will he National, not
sectional live financial, economic ques¬
tions in which the people of the present
and future have and will have an in¬
terest. Our family quarrel is settled
foiever, and the only questions now to
he so! veil are how best to perpetuate
what has iiei n preserved ; how best to
subserve tho interests of the whole
people ; how best to make "a govern¬
ment by the peoidfe” in which the high
and the low, tin rich and the poor shall
all be best protected in their rights,
immunities and privileges ; a govern¬
ment that shall he the model for all
times and never die.
The resignation of Messrs. Eaton
and Gregory as members of the Civil
Service Commission have given to
President Cleveland an opportunity to
reorganize said Commission and to
e’eariy indicate by the appointment ot
their successors whether he will stand
firm i:i the future as in the fact in
favor Of true Civil Service reform.
While many in both parties entirely
dissent from the idea of the Civil Ser¬
vice law now upon the statue hook,and
others are openly hostile to any law
upon the subject, tlie President has
shown himself honestly in favor of the
law, and in fayor of correcting any er¬
rors therein and making it more per
feet. While some of his subordinates
may violate the law the President lias
on every proper occasion unqualifiedly
c mdemned such violation.
The New Pension Office Building in
Washington is rapidly approaching
completion. All of the iron rafters
for tlie roof are in place, and the work
of covering the entire s nurture will
soon be completed. This is said to he
the largest brick building in the woild.
It may be remembered that it was
within its court that the inauguration
ball wes held on the night of tlie 4 th
of March last. Faded remnants of the
decorations on that occasion still cling
to the pillars and wails, fit emblems of

The President lias reconsidered his
purpose to visit Richmond the latter part
of the month, and has concluded not to
.go. The press of official business and
t ireparation of his message to Con
gress will keep him at home to tlie
great disappointment of the people in
