Inicanoxa lor the Boath Atlantic states, taken at Fair, warmer weather, Variable winds generally southerly.

AxoTBiB Georgia and this time of commanding has decreed that liquor must go. By a majority of about four hundred, DeKalb county has voted in tavor of prohibition. Arm ail the bluster and movement of troops, it teems likely that the Afghan question will have a very pray settlement. Peaceable methods are to prevail, and the bear and the liou will sit on either hand of the smeer, licking their chops in lazy satisfaction. Tea reappointment oi Henry J.

Pearson as postmaster of New York, is likely to ctuse some animated discussion among the democrats of that city. The president nude the appointment in deference to the wishes of the business community, and without reference to politics. no appointment which President Cleveland has yet made will give more satisfaction than Ibat of Dick Hubbard, of Texas, to be minister to Japan. Dick is fat, jocular and popular and to crown all, is as goad a Georgian as ever left the old empire state to grow up with the country in Texas. The commander of the now lying off Panama, htsbeen reminded from Washington that it is bis duty to protect American life and property to the full extent of the resources at his command.

The result of this reminder may be the bombardment of several disturbed points along the coast. "COURTESY" TO BILL CHANDLER. There can be no doubt that most of the methods anil acts of the new administration have commended themselves to the approval ox tne honest people of the country. It is trnetl Blaine organs, led by the New York occupy an attitude that is severely vociferously critical, hut it is also true that they represent nobody except the active republicans who were billed to fill the various profitable engagements in office in the event of Brother Blaise's election. Thus, when the Tribune.

empties its slop tub and Joey Medill, Murat Hahv.esd, New and Ciarkaon proceed to splash around in the puddle, the people have every reason to believe that the affairs oi the country are getting along swimmingly. they are getting along swimmingly. President Cleveland is giving satisfaction to hose good opinion is worth anything. fulfilling the highest expectations of who have the good of the country at heait. He is working honestly and conscientiously to bring about the reforms which the best interests of tire country demand.

To bring about these much needed reforrns.how ever, is no easy matter. In every department at Washington the republicans have planted the machinery oi a tremendous circUmloci lion office, and a powerful pressure has been brought to bear on' the new members Of the cabinet to compel them to do homage to "custom and "precedent' thin dis guises under which repub'ican fraud and corruption seek to hide. As an instance of this, we beg to call the attention of our to the following, which appeared in telegraphic colnmns some days ago: Washikgtos, March The following notice navy: "1 have been requested in large number ol cues to change the orders Issued by my predecessor to officers of the aavy, notably the order transferring Admiral English, of the European squadron to the south Atlantic squadron, If these orders were lssuoj upon any record which could be reviewed and their justice or injustice determined, it would be proper me, perhaps, to re examine them bat I am already satisfied that the secretary of the navy is obliged to give orders from time to time, for reasons satisfactory to hnself of which bo record is asade or sppeais. iris vinialr to my predecessor in oihce, for me to pretend to review his orders, and It is. impossible, in point of fact, for me to know the cause which induced his The record of the past will have to stand, as I have neither time at my disposal nor means of examination, to satisfy myself ol the propriety of any action that I might take with reference to the acts of my predecessor." This is a very peculiar "notice," all things considered, and it is to be hoped that it will stand unique during President Cleveland's administration.

It is a "notice" that will not a tne tart of examination, fox it has no It iaalmnlv an ennoanne sncnt on the part of Secretary Whitney, that the orders of little Bill Chandler, his prede cataor, will be allowed to stand, no matter whether tbey are right or wrong, provided there Is no record of them that may be reviewed. As a matter of course, the new democratic secretary does not intend to make inch absurd ruling as this, bat this is the only reasonable interpretation ol his "notice." His position that "the record of the past will have to is unfair, not only to officers who becama the victims of Bill CtandJaw i petty spite as he was of office, bat to whole country. The demxsraiie tertiary oi the navy was not appointed to juswaoB tor tne purpose of carry aanaier, bat for, Ul ailairs of ttt navy department In the interest oi the people, and of reforming the whole cimint concern Lorn top to bottom. There is nothing more notorious than the act that the navy department has the and center of the most appalling corrup ttocft. As it was undar Bobeeon, so wat, a smaller scale, under Chanlkr.

It au throughout in tbe of ars iron works and shipyard, and I locking ftsrward tone oi 'Secretary Whitney's "no ilea' is keenly disappointing, but we feel sure that it is tot tin intention of the democratic secretary to cany "eoorieej" far enough to cover up the frauds which have been committed and the injustice that has been done by bis predecessor. Secretary Whitney says it it "palpably unfair" to his predecessor in office to "pretend to review his orders," and impossible in point of fact to know the cause which induced his orders, But this, it seems to us, fails to touch the girt of the matter. It is palpably unfair to the public for the democratic 'secretary to allow Bill Chandler's orders to run into the new administration of affairs. The fact that there is no record of is in itself evidence that the orders should be promptly reviewed, and neither the country nor the navy department would suffer if Chandler's orders were promptly revoked. Neither is it necessary for Secretary Whitney to know "the causes that induced" Chandler's orders.

The question to consider is, will these orders work injustice? Are they wrong? Generally speaking, a man of Chandler's calibre has no good motives, but his motives, good or bad, have nothing to do with the matter. The position taken by Secretary Whitney is an unfortunate one if persisted for the country and unfortunate for the democratic administration. There can be no genuine reform if the policy of such men as Chandler is to be carried out under the rules of courtesy. The interests of the people would not snffer shoulp Sjcre tery Whitney conclude to be palpably unfair1 to Billy Chandler. B1SMAKCKS BIRTHDAY.

Today is not an April fool's day in Gsr many. It is the birthday of Prince Bismarck man whose active intellect and strtrhg band have done more to mould events in Europe than all other causes combined. For fifty years Bismarck has been connected ia an official capacity with the government of Prussia, and during the greater part of that long period he has been all powerful as a ruler. He has been a politician, a diplomat, and a statesman, and the probability is that he will leave cn Europe a more enduring impression of greatness than any man of his The policy of Great Britain is cumulative. It Ls the conception of many minds, and the result of theefforisof many met.

Bat the policy of Germany is Bismarck's. He has conceittd it, carried it out, and is still giving it direction, lie has consolidated a mighty empire, and has carefully nursed the patriot ism of an educated people until it may be cepeEdeu on in all emergencies. It was not an April fool's day in Germany when Bismarck was born. He js been cms) he has outraged private rights and trampled on individuals, but all for the glory the fatherland. He is a firm believer in the divine right of kings, but be has yet recognized the fact that the liberty plant has taken root even on German soil.

He pwesivas that democracy is something more than a socialistic monster. In short, he is a very wise Bismarck, and the German people are proud 01 him.

It is encouraging to turn from the contemplation oi the resplendent qnaiitiesol great men and view some of the faults which they share In common with other men.
