It is a conspicuous example of the blind folly which heeds not the lessons of the past. Two years ngo it rebelled against a non-partisan judiciary and repudiated the men en- dorsed by the bar of the district. The republican conveution obeyed its be- hests and nominated a separate ticket. ‘What was the result? The voters of the district repudiated the repudiators nnd electod the bar nominees by major- itles vanging from two to four thou- sand. A similar emphatio rebuke swaits the political manipulators if they sttempt to use the bench as a reward for pavty wotivity, THE ANNUAL REVIEW. The National Civil Service Reform League held its annual meeting in Phil- adelphia yestarday, and the president, Mr, George William Curtis, reviewed the course and condition ot the reform for the year, as he has done regularly for & number of years, It is hardly necessary to say that Mr. Curtis is not satisfled with the situation. He has never been. It is quito possible he never will be. He charges that the president has not fulfilied the pledges of the republican platform nor carriod out his own protestations of a purpose to advance reform. He cites in support of this charge the fact of the removal of fifteen thou- sand fourth class postmasters, the alarm which pervades overy branch of the service, the open, flagrant contempt for public opinion, for private information, and for the party promiso, which was shown in the appointment of the late commissionor of pensions, the execu- tive vofusal to apply the civil service rules to the census service, the removal of public officers of character, ability and experience who had disregarded of- fice, and the general political proscrip- tion. Allthis Mr.Curtisasserts wasa dis- tinet violation of the pledges of the president and of the party. Let it be granted that this is a some- what severo indictment, was there no warrant for any part of the course of the present administration 1 its re- movals from office? Of course Mr. Cur- tis attempts to show there was not, but in order to do this it is necessary to ut- terly Ignore the course of the preceding administration, during 1ts closing months particularly, The effect of that course was not only to do a groat deal of injustice to cap- able and experienced republicans, very few if any of whom had been offensive partisans, but to very nearly demorslize more thae one branch of the public service. It was certainly the duty of the new administration to re- store efficiency where it had been de- stroyed, and in order to do this it was largely necessary to return to their positions the experienced and competent men who had been displaced in vesponse to the demands of party expediency. Perhaps in the matter of the removal of fourth cluss postmasters the pres- ent ndministration has been un- necessarily vigorous, but the fact must be borne mind thav there was most urgent need of reform in the cntire postal service, and it is more than probable that there was a better than partisan reason for re- moving most of the fifteen thousand fourth cluss postmasters who have been removed. Mr. Curtis notes a growing senti- ment among republicans hostile to civil service reform, but he does not despair of final victory. ‘*‘Delays and defeats are inevitable,” ne remarks, ‘*but tem- porary. The advance is sure. The thunders of the church did not persuade Galileo that the earth did not move, and the war of the parly machine and the gross viola- tion of public pledges by the president, the postmaster general, by senators and representatives in congress, by party committees and local leaders, all of which we have heard and seen before, do not convince us that the reform sen- timent of the country is not stronger every day.” This sort of faith is nec- essury to a reform leader, but if Mr. Curtis has lost confidence, as his ad- dress implies, in the republican party as the party of reform, his hope of final victory for the cause in which he labors has a very unsafe and uncertain resting place. e SUBJECTS FOR THE CONGR ESS. The congress, or conference, of the Americas, which will assomble and or- ganize in Washington to-day, hasa comprehensive programme to consider when it shall meet for deliberation. The act authorizing and providing for the congress designates eight principal subjects for its consideration. are: Measures that shall tond serve the peace and promote perity of the several Amevican states; measures toward the formation of an American customs union, under which the trade of the Ame n nations with each other shall, so far as possible and profitable, be promote the establish- ment of regular and frequent communi- cation between the ports of the several American states and the ports of each other; the establishment of a uniform system of customs regulations for each, embracing importation, exportation, port dues, classification and valuation of imports, invoices and quarantine; uniform weights and measures, patents, copyrights, trade marks and extra- dition; a common legal tender silver coinuge; the arrangement of a definite plan of avbitration of all questions, uis- putes and differences that may now or herenfter exist between the several countries, with a view 1w their peace- uble settlement and the prevention of wars; the conservation of the general welfare of all the American states. There is material enough in this pro- gramme to render the deliberations of the congress profoundly interesting, but undoubtedly other subjects will be presented to its gttention. The com- mercial bodies of the United Stutes were invited by the secretary of state to suggest matters for considera- tion properly within the scope of the conference, and numerous sugge: tions from this source are to be e pected. The subjects to be considered, s provided for in the act authovizing the congress, ure worthy of moce than & passing reflection. They coutemplate an alliance so comprehensive, and to be made so close, & to give a new and more impressive 1aeaning to the Mon- roe doctrine. They propose the attain- ment of what would virtually make united states of the three Americas, as there would be effected between them everything essential to their common safety and prosperity. A careful study of the sch eme involved in this programme for the consideration of the congress of the Americas i8 necessary to an under- standing of its magnitude and far- veaching consequences, It has been truly said that no statesman of the cen- tury ever evolved a more maguificent scheme, and it is because of its magni- tude and scope that many believe it im- m These W pre- the pros- possible of consummation. Perhaps the result will justify this skepticism. It may not be possible to bring all the in- dependent nations of this hemisphere into such an allisnce as s contemplated and surround it with conditions assuring ite perma- nence, but it is certainly practicable to attain & part of the results sought, and the least 1mportant of them would be a material gain. And every step leading to a closer union between American nations will render the next stop less difficult. However far shortof the expectations ot its promoters the congress which meets to-day may come, there can be no doubt that its deliberations will have somo good results in which all the in- terested natione will share, THE €C0iTON CORNER. The great cotton ‘‘corner” which has been a source of groat ex- citement and anxiety in Liver- pool and throughout the cotton manufacturing disteict of Togland for weeks past, experienced a complete col- lapse on Monday. The full consequences have not yet been learned, but it ap- pears certain that the speculator who enginecred the corner, Steenstrand, came out badly hurt, and with him, of course, a number of others whom he had induced to believe that he could forcea price on cotton which would en- rich everybody on his side of the mar- ket. A weelk ago it certainly looked as if he might have matters his own way, and knowing ones were figuring that on the last day of September Steeustrand would probably be able to name figures for cotton that would put at least a mil- lion dollars in his pocket, while at the same time driving somo of those wno were fighting him to tho wall. But there were shrewd and busy minds at work to defeat the speculator, and aided by the concerted actiom of the manufacturers in largely reducing their demands, they succeeded in doing this. The details of this most remarkable attempt in eight years to corner the cotton market will be awaited with interest. Steenstrand’s speculation was an ad- vantage to the cotton planters of the United States. It enabled them to sell alarge part of their early crop at full vrices. Between the first of August and the first of October the southern planters soid nearly a million bales of the erop, and the artificial price in Liv- erpool hus given these planters two and a half million dollars more than they otherwise would have received. It was apartof this cotton that broke the corner, and as the American product is now going forward freely, and the crop isexceptionally large, there is little probability that Steenstrand will renew s speculation. AN IMPORI'AN ' DECISION. The folly of corporate indifference to state laws is illustrated by the unbroken s of victories won by the authori- ties of Towa over the railroads. Ever since tho fumous “Granger laws’ were enacted the railroads have resented every eifort of the people to restrain their rapacity and curb the power ac- quired or assumed during the settle- ment period. These laws were practi- cally the first attempt of a western state to curb corporate greed. They were justified by existing conditions, and were essential to the well being of the state, It is true they were radical in design and difficult to execute, but they opened the way to the present comprehensive laws which place Towa in advance of her neighbors in the regulation of internal commerce. At the outset the corporations scoffed at legal interference. They deluded themselves with the notion that they conld obtain protection in the conduct of business from a state whose laws they attempted to nullify. They stood in the light of law-breakers until the courts aflirmed the right of states to regulate internal affairs. Open resistance was no longer wise mor politic. They adopted a policy of delay and subter- fuge, only to mect defeat in every case brougit to trial. The federal court of the Towa district v added to the list of notable cored by the state. The Wa- bash company, having abandoned the operation of the Clarinda branch, was ordered by the board of railros missioners to operate the road. peal to the eral court resulted in a sion declaring that railroads were government institutions, public y ances and common carviers. right to build a road through private property,” says the court, **was granted on the representation t the road would furnish transportation for the Publie. Courts have no right to deprive the people of this transportation on the showing that the roand does not puy expenses. By obtaining the right of way from the people they were cut off from all other similar means of trans- portation, and the company is obligated to fulfill its pledges by operating the road,” The decision practically settles a number of similar cases. It afMrms the right of the state to compel the opera- tion of branches which the companies abandoned as a species of revenge for the passago of stringent laws, The im- portunce of this ruling lies in the declaration that the exercise of the right of eminent domain by corpora- tions is in the nature of a contract with the state. They acquire private prop- orty for a public purpose, and are bound to use it for such purpose until the state consents 1o a release. de: MR, BRACKE' the republican can- didate for governor of Mussachusetts, has been boycotted by the Massachu- sotts branch of the British-American association, which is composed of natu alized Englishmen, The offense charged against Mr. Brackett is thav he sent a ‘regret” to a Queen Vietoria jubilee banguet last year and shortly alterwards addressed a land league meeting, An interference of this sort on the part of any naturalized class of citizens should be rebuked, and it doubtless will be in the present instance. ——— IN another column we begin 4 series of letters from a upecial espondent, who has visited the country in the west- ern borders of the Black Hills, which is 8000 10 be opened up to Omaha by the completion™of the Burlington & Mis- souri river pailroad to that point.
