An oracle of the administration, in an Inspired dispatch from Washington, nays: "England ha rlven no pretext whatever for Interference on the part of this government. As matters look now, she does not Intend to give any. It Is the understanding In the diplo matic world that Great Britain te always careful in her dealings with American states to avoid stirring up the angry passions of Uncle Samuel, and that neither Nicaragua nor Venezuala Is like ly to prove en exception to the rule. The British have the rlpht to take pos session of as much of Nicaragua as they please without any fear of protest on our part They may, if th.-y like, de clare war and overrun the country, levying heavy tribute upon tho un fortunate little nation. Still it would be none of our business. Having Eng land's assurance that ns soon as she shall have finished her little afTalr Bhe will get out, and seek neither to acquire territory nor to overrun the existing form of government, the Monroe doc trine is not involved and we have no call to Interfere." "Uhderstandlnga 1n the diplomatic world" are not to the point in the pres ent emergenoy. A powerful nation has pounced, bully fashion, on a little coun try less than one-hundredth Its size; has trumped up a largely fictitious bill of damages and Is proceeding,, Ifi de fiance of American sentiment Ameri can tradition and Amerlcan-talrness, to choke its little opponent khto submis sion to Its outrageous claitfris. That, of faaa ouGlUto-be--eovi'A to warrant this government in declaring to Eng land: "Hands off!" And when, In ad dition, it la pretty generally believed, despite contrary "understandings In the diplomatic world," that England will try to keep what she has piratically grabbed, a case Is made out, Monroe doctrine or no Monroe doctrine, which calls for something more positive at Washington than languid idleness and stupid self-content. The Next Secretary of State. We are fully prepared to credit the assertion of Mr. C. W. Fairbanks, of Indianapolis, one of ex-Prcsldent Har rison's warmest personal friends, that General Harrison Is not a candidate for renoralnation and that ho will make no effort to Influence the choice of the next Republican national convention. Mr. Fairbanks adds that the ex-president would much perfer to see some other eminent member of the party honored with' the nomination, and would gladly co-operate to secure his election. All of the three most promin ent candidates are his friends, of many years' standing. Senaitor Allison and Major McKinley are particularly close to him; a.nd many qualities In ex Speaker Beed command his .admira tion. - It 1" easy to believe that the elevation of any one of these gentlemen to the presidency would incite General Harrison's cordial pleasure. .No. doubt contrary reports will ap pear in'prlnt; but there are substantial reasons for believing that General Harrison is much less anxious for a second term -than h'la friends are that he should have It. To them it would bring influence and possibly public office, whereas to the general himself It would brlmf new work and worrv and responsibility without new honors. The years which have followed General Harrison's defeat for a re-election have been years of signal vindication. When he left the White house, the country had enjoyed 'four years of clean' and successful administration; .the public revenues were adequate to the payment of all necessary public expenditures; and throughout the country prosperity had been . general ' and well-defined. President Cleveland's abrupt reversal of his politics, both in domestic and foreign affairs, was characterized byJ a series or pudiic misfortunes not paral leled since the civil war; end it is to day believed by easily three-fourths of the American people that these mis fortunes were in large part due to the fact that General Harrison's policies were thus reversed. 'To restore things to their normal basis wllj necessitate, on the part, of Mr. Cleveland's suc cessor, simply a restoration of the es sential features of the Harrison admin istration; and any good Republican of experience in public affairs could, as president, accomplish that." ! ; We imagine that General Harrison would rather be secretary of . state undtr friendly Republican presi dent than to return to the White house as chief executive. The importance of this office is growing In direct proportion to the demon strated unfitness of Its present occu pant. As Secretary Gresham's successor, General Harrison could exert an "up lifting influence Upon our foreign policy not to bo exerted by any other living American. He possesses the expe rience, the learning and the wholesome patriotism to make of our now Inverte brate state department a model of log ical firmness and enlightened sagacity, In that capacity he could, out of his experience, both assist the president In questions of domestic administration, and win the high honor, happily sup plementing that already won by him, of giving to his solicitous countrymen a really American policy In foreign affairs. Civil Service Reform. During the first week or his term bs mayor of Chicago, Mr. George U. Swift was, s he half-humorotisly confesses In a public speech, occupied for twelve hours a day with nobody but. olllee- seekers. Upon an average, COO visitors called dally to see him privately In be half either of themselves or of some friendly aspirant for appointment to municipal position. In that whole woek Mr. Swift found only fifteen min utes' time for a conference with the head of the department of public works, who represents the most Impor tant subdivision of the city government Finally Ills patience gave out, and he Issued public notice that he would henceforth reserve at least half his time for the consideration of more momen tous public affairs than the naming of policemen, cuspidors cleaners and dog constables: A civil service law will soon go lrtto effect in Chicago, and under Its pro visions the mayor will have more leis ure for the consideration of really Important municipal problems. No candidate can be selected for any sub sidiary position In the city government without flrpt giving clear proof of fit ness for such position; and the deter mination of this fitness will hinge not upon what ticket he votes or what "pull" he wields, but uion what qual ity of honest labor he can do for the public which pays him his salary. Only in the selection of chiefs of depart ments will the mayor have any voice; and he is permitted to have a voice in such appointments only for the reason that they are advisory positions, in which It 19 desirable that he and they should be in thorough accord. It Is a curious fact that the Ameri can people, so intensely practical in most of their affairs, should so long have failed to perceive the great eco nomic advantage of employing skilled labor In their public offices, Instead of the raw labor dumped In those offices at every new turn of tho partisan weather vane. It is an interesting chapter In the history of delusions that for upward of a century the most busl- ness-IIke nation on earth, In private af fairs, should, with reference to Its pub lic offices, permit "pull" to displace fit ness, and sit complacent under a sys tem which spurned trained regulars In behalf of crude volunteers. But Indi cations are not wanting that in our large cities, at least, there is likely soon to be an awakening; an awakening which will give the chief executive of a city like Chicago, with nearly as many persons to govern and almost as large problems to solve as were to be found In the entire United States at the time of Washington's first Inauguration, something more than fifteen minutes' per week respite from the clamors of place hunters and the Importunities of Illiterate ward heelers and party hacks. American Insurance Rates. It appears from a table In the North American Review that Americans pay nearly twice as high a rate for fire In surance ns do Russians; nearly three times as much as Is paid by the In habitants of Austria and Australia; ex actly four times as much as are paid by those of England; more than six times as much as Germans pay, and more than twelve times as much as In paid In France. The compiler of these statis tics, Mr. Georsje U. Crocker, uses them In an argument against the employment of middlemen, or agents, In the fire in surance business. To be strictly fair, however, he should make allowance for the difference in the quality of buildings In this coun try ahd In European countries; a,nd also, the difference in the carefulness manifested In guarding against fire. American buildings, as a rule, are com paratively new and flimsily construct ed; whereas, the buildings of Europe are old and solid In materials and In construction. Again, the American, In all matters pertaining to the safety of property, is admittedly the most care less Individual on the face of the earth. He neglects both that individual cau tion needed to Insure a small percentage of fire losses and also that exacting legislative cognizance of this subject common In older and poorer countries. Let us, for example, take our own city. For years It has been known that the fire limits established a decade or more ago- had become obsolete; that tho spread of the business district of the city pointed to the necessity of revising these limits so as to forbid the erection In the central portion of the olty of tinder-box one and two-story framo build ings alongside costly structures of stone or brick. Message after message from mayor to councils has tailed attention to this defect; the press has spoken of it repeatedly and everybody freely con Cedes that something should be done to correct the matter. Hut the net re sult of all this discussion Is absolutely nothing. Iho old fire limits remain us In the days when this was Slocum Hol low; and the fast that our flra losses are not much larger than they are Is due more to good luck than to system atic precautions. . ! . Again, in the matter of a paid fire de partment, we remaiin content with the methods of a decade ago, although no body has yet expressed dissent from -the assertion that a thoroughly or ganized, paid force of regular firemen would each year save to the city con siderably more than its extra cost, These local conditions are to some ex tent duplicated In nearly every populous American community, and they afford a convincing explanation, of why flra Insurance rates are higher In the United States than in any other country, Whenever the American people tire of paying itnase rates, they can materially reduce them by paying sensible atten tion to the problem of preventing fires, Walter Wellman, the Washington correspondent, declares that Judge Gresham knows Just how unpopular his conduct of the state department has been, but adds that Mr. Clevelund will not permit him to ohango it. Why, then, does not the Judge promptly re sign? He Is not compelled to sacrifice homself on the nitar of the president's density. A bill was recently Introduced nt Harrleburg offering a rebuto of 115 per cent, on Ills road tax to the farmer who would equip Ills vehicles with wide tires. Considering the enthusi asm with whleh the present legislature has Ignored road reform, it seems safe to predict that thl3 bill will die a vio lent death. Ex-Secretary of the Treasury Fair- child says "If It were definitely known thnt Rt the expiration of a year or eighteen months the free coinage of sil ver would brgln wo should immediately huve such a panic nS" this country has never known In its history." Mr. Fair child evidently knows how to incite a panic. It can be set down as a fixed fact that this growing country will not long be content with a stationary or a de clining volume of currency. The num ber of persons is growing who believe that the repeal of the Sherman silver purchase act was, after all, a mistake. The testimony of Commissioner of Labor Wright that business Is rapidly Improving Is fortunately corroborated by personal experience. The back-bone of the depression has been broken for several months; and convalescence is now reaching the rapid stage. One reason why we hope to see Ben jamin Harrison the next secretary of state Is that he may officially welcome Hawaii into the American union and restore at Honolulu tho lowered Stars and Stripes. The Wllkes-Barre Record has passed the ten thousand mark In Its steady race for an increased circulation; a fact which speaks eloquently for Its man agement. The Record is a credit to Pennsylvania Journalism. Both the New York and the Chicago Heralds have Senator Quay beaten be yond recognition In his alleged war with David Martin. For a dead man, though, the senator looks surprisingly alive. It Is rumored in Chicago that Mr. Cleveland hopes to nominate Secretary Gresham for president in 1S9G. For licking purposes, he could not make a wiser choice. It will unqubstlonable grieve a large percentage of the idiot population of the United States to learn that the Mar quis de Castellane does not approve of America. Governor Budd's suggeslon that Un cle Sara ought to kick John Bull out of Nicaragua Is one of the buds that will evidently not bloom this spring, tra la. The foreign policy of Cleveland's sec ond reign will live In our history as a vivid example of what -an American foreign policy ought not to be. Th Altoona Tribune "assumes thnt Secretary Greshnm knows hlu busi ness." Our namesake evidently has a vivid Imagination. The opinion that the United Staes government has acted the) coward in the Corlnto matter is not confined to Nicaragua, Oscar Wilde's attempted assumption of the role of patient martyrdom is de cidedly cleverer than It Is convincing.

From the Rochester Post-Express. Mr. Clevelund has announsed that he Is In no way responsible for the opinions set forth In a recent Interview by Secretary Morton, of his cabinet; and there Is no reason for assuming his responsibility, Mr, Morton Is for monometallism with gold as the single standard, and he de clares that "the tlmo for straddlers has passed." There are ninny anslnlno things In his Interview; but nothing that quite comes up to the peroration of his ar ticle on the same subject In the February number of the North American Review, In which he quotes the description of Trilby's singing, and then proceed to paraphrase It for the purposes of solontlfic discussion: "Bo the harmonies of civilization, the multifold tones of Trade, all the great choruses and melodies of Commerce the murmuring stream that turns the mill wheel, the hissing engine on the rail, tho plash of tho paddlo whool on Inland lakes, the monotonous pulsation of great hearts of steamships on all the oceans of the globe, tho singing wires of telcgruph lints hunglng In the air, the whir of the elec tric cars every movement of a sentient commerce, transporting from north to south, from south to north, from east to west nnd from west to oast, with all its myrlud sounds of contented Industry, aro merely the economic orchestra of Civiliza tion obeying the motions of the magic baton of Demand wielded by the will power of the civilized world. These lire the marvelous melodies of modern com merce. Hut tho liixplration whleh gives voice to vuliju, and energizes the muny tongued Industries of modern life, ad vancements nnd Improvements, Is ex eliungeiilily based upon demand, whleh Is founded upon desire." There Is no desire on I he part of any body, and above nil on the putt of tho piesldent, for Mr. Mor ton's opinions on this topic, and no ex changeability bated upon demand; why, then, this imin.v-tmiKU.nl Industry on his purl? Why does he add his philharmonic bniy to the economic orchestra of civiliza tion? Who put him on the programme for a solo to tho choruses of commerce? Let him contrnct the currency, If ho can; but fur heuven's nuke let him stop trying to Inllato the Kngllsh lungungc. Wo never reud over tho sentences quoted above wtithout trembling at the thought that tho vocabulary Is swelling to possible destruc tionthat our native speech Is being blown up like a bladder, nnd may burst ut the next effort of the Trilby of the Cleve lund cabinet.

Why Don't You Explain Why ? From the Chicago Times-Herald. International bimetallism, on the con trary, would represent an agreement be tween the great Industrial and commer cial nations of the globe as to the use of silver and gold, and would, therefore, be possible without danger to the Industrial and commercial Interests or this country Undoubtedly there Is a growing sentiment In Europe and In this country In favor of such an International agreement, but the free sliver Idea onco onacted Into law In the United States, International bimetal lism would remain but an iridescent dream, and the United States become once more the pack horse of the world as ro gnrds silver. The free silver notions now being so widely disseminated are the greatest obstacle to International bimet allism. Many Others llavo the Same Habit. From the Washington Post.
