dently a great admirer of tho essential char
acteristics of organlo journalism. And ho
Insists upon playing the organs himself.
Yesterday's Would, In the great field of
journalism, stood out liko the shadow of a
mighty rock In a weary land. It was incom
parably tho most readable newspaper printed
on this bland. One of its most Inter
esting features was Its splendid array
of advertising that infallible test of
popular favor. Tn Wobld printed yes
terday lOOy columns of advertising,
an Increase of 43 columns over tho corre
sponding Sunday of last year. All tho New
York newspapers combined did not show yes
terday as great an increaso of advertising as
Ttm Wobld. Tho number of "Wants"
printed mnst have amazed even this
great public. Tho aggregate was 4,800. It
may ho remarked that Tub Wobld continnos

WHAT LOST THE BTATE.
The completion of the official canvass of
tho roto in this State gives tho Mugwump
organs occasion to renew their stupid charge
that Gov. Hill's "selfishness and treachery"
defeated the National llckot.
If Mr. CtxvxLAKD's own emphatlo dis
avowal of such a belief will not stop this
foolish falsehood of his Democrooy-hating
supporters, it is time to speak more plainly as
to the real causes of tho loss of Now York.
A prime causo we have already indicated
the President's doing of "tho right thing at
tho wrong time " upon tho tariff issue. But
this tactical error did not cost tho Democrats
New Jersey nor Connecticut. It did not pre
ventit even aided, lato as it was Demo
cratic gains for Tariff Beforrn in tho great
manufacturing towns and cities. The trouble
was that the President did many right things
at the wrong time, and many wrong things
at the right time to weaken himself with tho
people. ,
Instead of beginning his administration
with extravagant pledgos of Civil-Servico
Beform he should have ended it with reason,
ablo promises and actual achievements. In
stead of abandoning all other issues and eud
ing with Tariff Itoform exclusively, ho should
havo begun with that, when thero was tlmo
to educato tho peoplo. Mr. Cleveland's
fatuous indorsement of Fellows cost him
thousands of votes. Ills battle-flag blunder
ing cost him more. The needlessly offonsjve
tone of some of his justifiable pension vetoes
hurt him even with Domocratio soldiers.
Bnt the fatal error of all errors was Mr.
Clevxlaxd'b belief that ho was stronger than
the party. lie acoepted gratefully the Mug.
wump Incense and adulation, which mnde him
a "man of destiny" instead of a man of acci
dent But if there was anything absolutely
proved by the election, it is that the party
was stronger than the President, The fact
that every candidate on the Domocratio State
ticket was elocted, including Gov. Hill, who
courageously advocated freer trade, and in
many speeches Indorsed the Mills Bill, the
President's message, and the entire Demo
cratlo position on the tariff, must bo taken as
proof of Mr. Olevblakd's personal unpopu
larity in New York.
Post-mortem examinations upon a defeated
candidate are not pleasant, but if they are
forced by falsehoods as to the cause of his
defeat, tho truth should be told.
A CLEAR FATH FOB BBFOBlf.
There is a good deal of quiet dlsoussion
going on with rogard to the expenses of tho
recent election. It Is a profitable lino of in
quiry, not because it is specially desirable to
know tho exact amount of money that was
spent, but because it brings into notioo on
evil that must Inevitably soon receive serious
legislative attention.
Wo bavo the pious iTatl and Exprett calmly
discussing methods of placing largo sums
where they will do tho most good, as if there
were no question of morality involved in the
matter. Circumstantial accounts of tho use
ot enormous sums of money in Indiana and
in this State were published in tho Sunday.
Wobld. And so in various quarters are indi
cations that the fact of tho great expendituro
is pretty effectually present in tho publio
mind.
This Is a good foundation upon whioh to
build a reform. There are also ohoerlng signs
that a vast majority of the peoplo want this
phase of political business ended. Whero
large sums of money aro given and spent, and
it is confessed that tho methods of using it
do not permit of an accounting being ren
dered, it is useless to suppose that an honest
application is mado of it. Let us stop this
iniquity before it goes further. Lot the State
bear the necessary general expenses and let
there be a statute of limit and a publio
accounting for other and partisan expenses.
There never was a clearer path for reform.
HOT AH AMEKIOAH THEORY.
It is false to history and a libel upon the
founders of tho Bepnbllo to advocate, as the
Democracy-knifing New York fun does, a
" return to the old, healthy American theory
and practice of office-holding known as tho
spoils system."
llemovsls ot minor officers and employees
of the Government for political reasons were
practically unknown during the first thirty,
six years of the nation's history. Washing
ton, Adaus, JrmtBsoN, Madison, Monbob
and John Qvhcot Adaus treated publio
office as a publio trust The incumbents of
subordinate offices retained their places as
they would in any business establishment,
during their competency and good behavior.
JrmBSOM did not make twenty remoals for
party reasons during hi entire two terms.'
'The proposition to make a " clean sweep "
Her Ty lssttea would have bwa aeomted
eSBBBB&ByflsBBBBBBBtflilK
as alike preposterous and monstrous by the
earlier and greater Presidents.
Tho " spoils system " is an English and a
monarchical, not an American theory and
practice. It was coplod from England by
Aaron Buns, that prototype of the modern
wirepuller and spoilsman. In England,
before tho reform, the king find his nobles
treated tho publio offices as privato perqui
sites. In America the political boss came to
do tho same. Nothing ran be more undemo
cratic than to have appointments to office go
by favor rather than for fitness, giving every
citlzon an equal chance. The spoils system
is ImuI from lop to bottom, wrong in theory
and wretched in practice. One more " clean
sweep " will only hasten its overthrow. In
this business, at least, the Amorican people
orejiot fools.
A OEEAT OHAEITY.
A benevolent enterprise of almost startling
dimensions, oven in this ago of largo char
ities, hss been undertaken by Mr. J. V
Williamson, of Philadelphia. Ho proposes
to give $13,000,000 for tho establishment of
an industrial school and homo for poor boys.
,Ho hss studied bis plans and orrongod for an
Intelligent use of this vast sum of money.
Architects are already preparing for tho erec
tion of buildings and a board of seven prom
inent cltizons bos been selected to control the
institution.
Unless tho Stanford University, in Call
fomia, snould provo on exception, this is tho
most important gift to humanity on tho part
of any one individual in tho history of tho
country, not to say of tho world. It la doubt
ful If a better direction could be discovered
for benevolonco than tho ono chosen. The
bestmothod of helping peoplo is to ensble
them io help themselves, and to train boys
who would otherwise grow up In tho streets
of our cities in vice and idleness to become
honestly self-sustaining citirens is a most
effective means of promoting morality and
thrift.
A similarly valuable institution would bo
one that by competent training should give
tho power of self-support to girls. The bene
ficiaries In such an institution are given a
fair chance in lifo. Many are doubtless hope
lossly handicapped by the vices of heredity,
but not so tho majority.
Tho act of Mr. Williamson Is one that
makes every citizen prouder that he is an
American. Wcnlth wisely directed in such
channels as this becomes a potent factor in
tho solutions of tho social problom that is
causing so much uneasiness among thought
ful persons in this country.
BOLD IHT0 SOHDAOE.
Tho auction salo of Mr. John M. Wabd,
tho basoball savant, for 913,000 to Washing
ton, D. O. , raises a constitutional point of
great nicety. Trsfflo in human flesh is sup
posed to havo bcon prohibited by the Fif
toonth Amendment, and yet here wo find a
bold dicker for Wabd'b body, and by Impli
cation his soul, for a smallor sum than a
fancier would pay for an equally celebrated
short-horn bull or a peachblow vase, and the
froo-born owner of said body and soul has no
voice of choicn or refusal, but must quit his
old master, willy billy, and take up with the
new.
During his brief but bewildering stay in
the metropolis Mr. Wabd showed talents for
the larceny of bases and tho purloining of
home runs which endeared him to every en
thusiast He batted daily and yet maintained
a bettor reputation for sobriety than most
young mon who do their batting after duBk.
Ho could stop a red-hot groundor, dislocate
a joint or rsiso a bone felon with amazing
celerity. His indeed is a loss to be mourned.
It may bo that Mr. Wabd would prefer not
to aw oil in tho capital. It may be that ho.
privately yearns for Boston, or that tho abyss
of his longing can only bo filled by a resi
dence in Harlem, Iloboken, or tho still more
rural fastnesses of Philadelphia, bnt all to no
purpose Ho has been sold to Washington,
and in Washington he must chase the soaring
Sky-scraper, Impede the daisy-cutter or
filch his uncertain way from first to third,
and muffle all other desires, meroly because
ho has been brought under tho job-lot ham
mer of a great and grinding monopoly, and
is Its slave until he has worked out his
rodemptlon.
And yet this Is the so-called Nineteenth
Century t and a row was raised in Holyoke

Concord, V. IL, Nor. SB. A political deal ot
general Importance snd 'interesting details baa
been brought to the knowledge of The World
correspondent. The deal results from the rivalry
existing between Senator Wm. E. Chandler and
Congressman J. II. Galllnger. Galllugcr aspired
to Chandler's place In the Senate, bnt by tho terras
ot the deal just consummated be abandons bis
Senatorial hopes and will try bard for the Cabinet
His literary bureau, after doing valiant service,
will be continued just tbe same1 until tbe with
drawal of Galllnger la formally announced, and
from now on It will keep tbe Congressman's name
prominent before the State u a rival of Chandler.
Tda latter pledgee himself to helD Galllnger into a
Cabinet berth, or, falling In that, Into aome lucra
tive and Influential office under the Federal Gov
ernment. Uslllnger Is the candidate of the Concord Hall.
way'anu his political advancement Is a distinct
victory for th.t corporation. Ills ol aim to a Cabinet
position rests chiefly upon the fact that be seoonded
Ihe nomination of Harrison at Chicago, which his
friends regard as a Incky thing for Dim now.
Chandler's return to tne Senate la thercforo as
sured. He has teen on the anxious seat ever since
Galllnger's aspirations became known and tbe
latter'j strength is only another sign that the ox
Secretary' bold upon the btato la not so

wblcu csused the bloody-stalrt Senator un

in the aovernor In tie matter of appointing a
United State Senator. Cbsndler's term expires
on Msreh 4, three months before the moettng of
the LegislKture, which chooses a new senator.
This vacancy, which occurs once every six years,
Is filled by tne Governor, and Is the only exclusive
appointment at his command. In spite of Chand
lers Influence, It has otn a matter of much sur
mise whom the Governor would appoint. Theto
hsve been half a dozen candidates, Galllnger be
ing the most formidable. It Is hollered, however,
that Galllnger Is now satisfied to withdraw in
Chandler's favor.

Washington for many reasons entirely apart front

Is that she may then rcaume ber charitable work,
Tbe ladles who are engagod la the Ladles' Aid

which Mrs. Harrison will contrlbnto some oftbe best
specimens of her handiwork. At the great bazaar
and fair ta the Rotunda of tho Capitol, under the
same auspices, Mrs. Harrison contributed some
superb embroideries and painting on silk and
china, which broug&t a large price and are now
very highly treasured by their possessors. Mrs.
Harrison In the Executive Mansion will repeat the
noble works ot Mrs.lPresldent Madison. The old
est and one ot the most useful charities of tie
capltsl, tbe Washington City Orphan Asylum,
was founded in 1815 by Mrs, Madlton while
her husband was PrcaldenU Tbe example set
by Mrs. 'Harrison is llteiy to create a creat
boom in fashionable charities during the
next four years. The llomceopathlo Hospital,
of which Chlef-Jnatloo Walte was President, and
of wmen Premier Secretary Bayard la his suc
cessor, engages tne attention ot a distinguished
circle ot ladlo. The Christmas Club, of which
Mollte Garfield waa first President and over which
Mollis Vilas now presides, is a young misses' or

tles of poor children.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland will return to
tbe Executive Mansion next week, where they will
remain dispensing the courtesies of tbe last
season of tho Administration In the usual
hospitable manner. It Is understood that
Mrs. Cleveland will somewhat extend the fre
quency and scope ot ber own social enter
tainments in tho ulrcctlon ot drawing-rooms and
luncheons. She will also be "at home "to ber
friends on certain days, and will afford an
opportunity to strangers In tbe city tcqpay respects
as she so pleasantly arranged last winter and
Spring. It la not probable tnat she will lnaugu
rato uny of ber social entertainments until after the
opening of the season on New Year's Day. Tho
wife ot tho President has always appreciated the

in a measure to show this appreciation she Is con

Tno President's share ol the official-social fes
