Dailv Northwestern BY ALL ODDS THE- lM.LS.5W.RYl pheh rtir taut pit. New York WrUI (Drat!) President Cleveland has been applying reform prinriplea ocly where it seemed to be for bia interest to do so, and has totally disregarded these principles where that course seemed the better policy. New York The Prohibitionist oppose the law became it would be a "compromise with sin." One of them (ays lie wants "either no rum or free mm." It ia impossible to argue with people of such mental calibre aa this. Their hatred of high license can only be explained by a fear on their part that it will prove so IT is a pretty kettle of fib that Msyor Il. wi.t has got the Brooklyn IK-D ocracy into.

His letter of regret for abaence at the Bourbon banquet in Brooklyn Las caused a genuine sene a-tion. la it be severely scores the leaders of the pvty for coquetting with the labor party in the last campaign and their endorsement of "the false and dangerous doctrines" wtich were put forward in that contest Ilia epistle is crisp and cutting to the qukk, and it is not surprising that the letter was not read at the banquet and that an effort was made to suppress it It is stated, moreover, that Gov. Hill refuted to attend tbe banquet if Mr. Hewitt letter was read. Lively little row indeed in the great Democracy of New York! The state senate bu passed the resolution providing for the submission to the people of a constitutional amendment to abolish the contract system ia the state prison.

Even if the assembly concurs in the resolution, it will have to be passed by the next legislature before being submitted to a vote of the people. This will make it November 1S89 before the matter could possibly come to a vote. By that time this prison labor question will probably be so thoroughly discussed, and the experiences of other states so well appreciated, that the people will be only too glad to express themselves in favor of mailing convicts earn their own living. Tub assembly has passed the bill restricting the importation of Pinkerton men into tbe state, with a proviso that their admission may be permitted upon authority of the Governor when in his judgment exegency requires it. It is safe to say that this throwing the responsibility upon the governor virtually amounts to prohibition, for th? reason that is doubtful if any governor will admit that be cannot maintain order and suppress riots with the militia force which the law provides for his use.

Besides which, the popular feeling against the employment of outside armed police is so great that governors will naturally refuse to permit them to be called into the state. imirr the jm i'.

At the opening of the present session of parliament, Lord Uartiogton twk his seat, as usual, on the Liberal side, and this fact caused the most dramatic scene of the evening.

For Mr. Laboucbere fiercely assailed him for it. Pointing at and speaking at him at a distance of only a couple of yards, says the Pall Jlall Gazette, the member from Northampton declared, "I consider it most extraordinary that the noble lord should take his seat on this side of the house," and besought him, instead of superciliously handing over Mr. Goschen to the government, to acknowledge the responsibility of power by moving over himself. The Kadicah and Parnellites, of course, vociferously cheered this "plain hint;" but the noble mnrquir, who was now attired in evening dress, reclining on the front opposition bench, right in front of the leader's "box," with head back, hat over eyes, and hands in trousers pockets, moved not a muscle, so far as tbe spectator could perceive.

The whole house strained itself to watch him closely, and tbe house saw a monument of magnificent impassiveness. The Rev. T. De Witt Talmage tells a very good story of himself and adds to its humor by putting in those wild gestures for which he is famous.

17 THE VETO blSTAIXEl. The action of the bouse of repres-enUtirts in refusing pais the dependent pension bill over the rresi-dint's veto will more an more com-rcttd itself to the American as tine sball pi fe them more opportunity to consider more calmly and dUpissionstely the subject in all its phases Just now. of course, there is a season of excitement in which man soldier organizations as bodies are expressing theuuclres in favor of the bill; but even they are not unanimous on the subject, while many or the members of them, no doubt, find themselves in doubt if not in opposition to the bill when consulting their innermost consciences. It is never safe plan to enact important legislation in a hurrah, and the hurrah baa been applied in the consideration of this veto to a remarkable degree. It is best as it is for this reason: If, upon maturer deliberation, the people believe that some further charity should be bestowed upon those who served any length of time in the army and came out whole and uninjured, but have since met reverses, a more discriminating and just measure may at any time be concocted, but if this law had once been put upon the statute books, however unwise, ex'ravagant and costly it may have been, and whatever abuses may have grown up under it, it never afterwards could have been modified or repealed.

It would have been like a mill stone around the pub-lie treasury for all time to come. No party would dare to assail it, any more than any party to day dares to assail our outrageous naturalization laws and corrupt land laws. The country stands now in the position of having refused to do something it can do at any other time, in stead of having done something it could never undo, no matter how much it might be regretted after wards. The question strangely seems to have drifted into a partisan one, and yet there is the least occasion for party lines upon it of any issue that has arisen in congress. Surely all sol djers were not Republicans, nor yet all Democrats, nor has the Republi can party been so remiss in its duty to the soldiers that it could suffer by a refusal to enact so broad hdJ sweeping a bill as this.

The old soldiers are indebted to the Republican party for all that has been enacted and done in their behalf since the war ended. It is now quite probable that a ne spoke will be added to the fly wheel of our governmental machinery. The senate has passed the house bill for the creation of a department of agri culture and labor, with a few amend merits which the house is not expect ed to antagonize. One of these amendments transfers the weather bureau and so much of the signal ser vice as pertains to weather reports to this new department. Such a department as this has long been a bobby with Borne people, but it is yet to be demonstrated whether it will result in any effectiveness.

It is true that other governments usually have a minister of agriculture and a depart ment devoted to this class industry. But, as has previously been remarked in this paper, it can not be made an administrative department, the fullest sense of that term. It will simply be a statistical bureau and an advisory sub-organization. There is nothing to administer in a governmental capacity, for agriculture is no part of te governmental process. Still, if it has the signal service attached to it, and enough other sub-bureaus to divide up, somewhat, the work and responsibilities of some of the other depa'tments, perhaps there will be nothing lost, if there is nothing materially gained.

Tub new Union Labor party just organized in Cincinnati has adopted the state sovereignty principle in the texture of its formation. According to present appearances it might be termed a political confederation rather than a national party. Certainly it has introduced the novelty in political bodies of reserving certain rights to states, in applying such elasticity to the adoption of its platform and principles as shall include anybody and exclude none. But it has evidently not occurred to i framers that the purpose of polities! organization is results. Under the rule adopted at this convention any Kate organization of tbe party may adopt such parts of the platform as it pleases acd reject what it does not approve of.

Thus we may observe a so-called national party operating on a different platform in each state. Some states will reject the woman suffrage plank, and others will adopt it. Borne states may approve of the labor and land planks, while others may reject them. Supposing the so-called national party should ever me Into power; what then? Every Statu, perhaps, would press forward Its separnte demands, and a pen of Kilkenny cats would be a happy family in comparison. It seems hard work for the weather bureau to get up a good cold wave in this region at this late season of tbe year.

Tbe cold wave flag was up yesterday and the signal office reports led us to believe that we were doomed to another tightening up. This morn-iDg, however, the indications are reversed, and warmer weather is called for. The cold waves are growing pcrceptib'y mildor, und old tol is pourimr hii rays down upon us no approvingly that it seems difficult for Boreas to knock him out to any great extent.
