The modern practice of the state de rsitmnet at Washington, says the New York Recorder, has been to give the United 8tates a veib In the singular In stead of the plural number, as "the United States is," not "the United States are." Tfie practice before the civil war was to use the plural form, and Mr. Seward was, I think, the first secretary of state to reverse It Webster and bis prede cessors always wrote "are." Mr. Fish, Mr. Evarts, Mr. Blaine and other Re publican premiers followed the Seward style. Mr. Olney, in bis recent procla mation, concerning Cuban neutrality, returns to the o'.d form. Referring to Spain, be wrote: "A power with which the United States are and desire to re main on terms of peace and amity." Wbtn Mr. Seward male the innovation the Idea was, of course, to give addi tional emphasis to the fact that the United States, as a political entity. Is a nation and should have a singular verb. Then, for the first time, nation began to ba written with a capital "N." The politicians of the states' rights school a-sd vigorous protest and so did the critics, but the author of the "Signer law" doctrine cared nothing about either side. IBs held the pen that wrote the official dispatches and proclamations, and as there -"rss no way In which his critics could edit them, the Seward grammatical construction bad to stay. Mr. Olney bas naturally provoked criti cism by tss change he has made. The poll Ileal part of It is severely condem natory, but as a rule, the grammarians agres wita him. A "Western journal, In taking bis side of the controversy, says "One cannot say the Southern States is prosperous," or "the Pacific states pos sesses great mineral wealth," and no more can one say without violating the rules of grammar, "the United States is." The main point of the contention is missed In that criticism. In the case of the New England, Bouthern or Pacific tales the plural form Is the correct one, because of themselves they do not pos sess the attributes of national entity. On division of them claimed it at one time, bat Us pretension bad to be abandoned. However, the United States "is" all right, Oloey or ao Olney. About J0 consularohips have been made civil service place by a recent order of ths president Ail those anose occupant get fixed salarit-s of from $1,000 to C.SOd srs Includel The consuls-general are left out as are the Inferior consul whs re permitted to engage In tr.de. Here after vacancies will be filled either by transfer or promotion, by the appoint ment of some person who liu previously served satisfactorily, or by some person selected by the president who is able to psas a proper examination. This order Initiates a reform, the necessity of which tass been recognised for s long time. Sec retary Seward saw the Importance of a trained consular service, and at hi sug gestion a law was passed (hirty years sgo providing for the appointment of young men a consular clerk, tho Intention be ing to promote them gradually If they displayed abilities. But this plan came to nothing, and the con.uar oflk-ea, which are so Important for the commercial In terests of the country, and should be flUd by competent men, have been left to the tender mercies of the congressional poll hucksters. ' Probably President Cleveland bas had this reform measure In mind ever since the commencement of his' present term, when Joilah Qulncy, then awlstant secretary of state, divided the consular spoils among those entitled to them In a way which provoked dis gusted comment. An attempt was made In the isst congress (o pass a law taking the consular service out of politic and substituting ths merit system, but II faiied. The senators, who have looked on these consulships as part of thlr perquisites, will be disgusted by the order, but the next president whoever h m.J be. will be thankful to his predecessor for tosvlng lessened the number of office he baa to 111!, and having freed him. to some extent from the Importunities ot PCace-beggars. It Is expected that wltbln thirty days two vessels loaded with machinery for mi:is and mining will tall from New York for VenesueUu These vessels are to be sent by the syndicate to whom the Vene suelaa government has granted valuable concessions within the Venesuelan terrl ttry to whka. Qreat Britain Is laying daim. It Is understood that the Vene suelsn government Is going to maintain ber right to this territory at any cost, and that ths United States government Is going to insist upon the observance of the Monroe doctrlnn, no matter how ag gressive England may be In the matter. The parties bavlng the concession are Influoncial. both politically and financial, ly, and are likely to be In a portion to demand the protection, of their rights. But, Independently of this fact ' understood to be the Intention of the administration to champion in a conspic uous way the Monroe doctrine, and that the VeneiutJan, boundary dispute, where Qreat Britain is trying to acquire valu able territory by the conveniont expedi ent of advancing the boundary line of British Guiana, has been selected as a test case. No one can tell what the at titude of England wlH be In the matter, or what the policy of this country may lead to. The safe return of the three members of the Peary expedition, who spent the winter In Greenland, recall the fact that last year no less than five expeditions set off Into the arctic regions for purposes of discovery. They Included Dr. Nan' sen's three years' drift across the Polar Sea, Stein's Journey to -Elles mere's Land, Walter Wellman's so-called "dish to the pole," Peary's Greenland project, and the Jackson-Harmewortb expedition. Not one of these expeditions has accomplished anything of note in adding to the world's knowledge of that Ice-locked region. One expedition, the Stein, was abandoned for want of money. Thcree of thetn proved comparative failure. As to the fifth one, Dr. Hansen's, no report has come. It Is not unlikely that another expedition will have to be fitted out for discovering Nansen. This seems to be the outcome of arctic expeditions. Expeditions go, and then other expeditions have to be made to bring what Is left Cf them back again. And yet it is unlikely that this foolish business ever 4-111 be abandoned. The pasiion for arctic exploration never dies, no matter how many of the exp-lor era die. Repeated failure seems to have no effect in discouraging the attempted invasion of the frozen north. A series of athietic nights will be given at the exposition at Portland. Two of these, October 8 and 29, will consist of athletic contests under the rules om the Amateur Athletic Union; one night, Oc tober 15, will be devoted to bicycles, and the fourth, October 22, will be under the management of the Turn Vereln. The lat ter wiil be also German day, and will be participated in by the Arion society and the Sons of Herman. Coxey began by asserting that he would be elected governor of Ohio. Ho now says be wilt carry twv counties. After election he will shout U.at, anyway, 37 votes prove that the cause Is gaining strength. Spain is eager to declare war against the United States, according to a dispatch from that country. But another dispitch guarantees our safety for some time. It cays that Spain will subdue Cuba first Wnen Jockeys are paid $15,000 a year, what Inducement Is there for a man to burn the midnight oil eo that he may be come the president of a college. More revenue isn't the only thing that is needed dawn at Washington. More patriotism and mure brains would be profoundly welcome, too, As to the deficit we repeat that what this government needs is a tariff that won't knock the bottom out of the na tional treasury. Though TorqumnaJa 1 still duad, It Is a very commcn thing ncwadays lo be broke on the wheel. The rumored row between Senators Hill and Murphy is probably a row for offices only. In another month or two the White House bee will begin to buzz for business. LED BY THE BLIND. New York Tribune. The Pharisees who worship at the feet of Cleveland have had a great deal to say about bosses. It never seems to occur to them that Mr. Cleveland himself Is one of the most domineering, dictatorial and Irresponsible bosses this country has ever produced. Their anxiety of mind and holy indignation are all regarding the Republican bosses. And the same Is true of other Democrats, having other party Ido.s. There are leaders whose strength lies in their thorough and sure under standing of the popular wlH. Sometimes they have vleo rare faculties of manipu lation and organization, and sometimes they have not, but the true leaders are rarely resisted In matters of public pol icy, whether they have much or tittle power of the machine kind, because the practical men of their party have learned that their Instincts are sure, and that defeat Invariably follows departure from the po.tcy they Judge to be demanded by the people. Such men are called feadera, but are lr. a better sense fol lowers and executives of the public will. That Hill, for example, that Is managing the Democratic convention at Syracuse, is not a leader of this sort his dismal experience sufficiently proves. It Is his distinction that he has known so little of public feeling and opinion that be has contrived to be the worst beaten Democrat In the history of ths state. Even Mynard, his agent In ths theft ot a legislature, had only about 100,000 ma jority against him. Yet It Is presumably because the Demo crats think Hill understands public opin ion that they obey his leadership even after his phenomenal defat. This Is quite characteristic. Your genuine Bour bon, who never learns anything, cannot be shaken from bis rock-ribbed firmness by sm-h a trifle as an adverse majority of lltf.OOO In a Democratic state. Besides the average Democratic managers in counties fancy that they do know some thing of public opinion, having carefully gathered) It In the saloons, or from work ing lieutenant, who have explored the saloons In order to advise them accurate ly. It strikes the average Democratic delegate that this time. If never before. Hill has bit the nail on the bead, and marked out the one path that Is safe. It Is the sure sign of decay and com ing destruction when a party loses its touch with the plain people who seek no office, who attend to their Industries constantly and to the adjacent saloons rarely, and who fear God and not any political boss. The bulk of the voter In both the great parties Is composed of such men. for while the proportion Is larger in one party than in the otber. It is large enough in either to take con trol If H only knew how to handle the ropes. The local bosses know bow to run the primaries, and have the art of calling up from near by quarters enough voters to do their bidding, and then reckon upon the submissive support of the great mass of silent workers. But when they start in the wrong direction, and too flagrantly address themselves to alliance with vices and crimes, as Hill did. they get burled under an avalanche, because many allenl voters of their own party either do not vote, or vot agilnst them. When HlU set out to run the state of New York by fraud and crime, in lofty contempt for the opinion of the honest and decent men, be was warned that he was leading his party to destruction. But he is leading ot again and the same way. THE RIGHT TO SHIP ARMS TO CUBA. Chicago Tribune. A contemporary pertinently asks by what right our government stops the ship ment of arms and ammunition to Cuban patriots. Under all laws of commercial Intercourse any American merchant bas the right to ship any goods he please to any Spanish resident of Cuba and this government bas no right to forbid his doing- so. If there had been ai proclama. tion of war in Cuba arms and ammunl tlon would be contraband, but there has been no such proclamation, hence there la no contraband, nor are -we obliged to maintain neutrality. The World says "Until; Spain recognises the esistence of war In Cuba and estalishes an effective blockade of Cuban porta It is difficult to see what possible right she has to com plain of any shipments that may be matfe from this country to anybody on the Island. It is still more difficult to see by what right our government assumes to seise goods on the ground that they are about to be shipped to a country In which no recognized war exists. Per haps the lawyers In the state depart ment will explain this point to a people who strongly sympathize with the Cuban patriots." The "World's position seems sound and Its observations aro tantamount to cen' sure of the administration for arresting upon suspicion American vessels with arms and ammunition as if they were engaged In an unlawful entcrprlserSpain has never notified this government that a state of war exists In Cuba; she has never declared the Cubans insurgent; on the other hand she has always belittled the operations of the Insurgents, treating them as rioters who would be speedily put down. Officially, therefore, this gov ermnent 'has no knowledge that there la war In Cuba. Hence Spain has no righ to expect It to patrol American waters and Interfere with American commerce, Americans, so long as they are not not! fted there Is a war, 'have the same right to take arms and ammunition to any part of the island and dispose of them that they have to take them to Havana Spain, must notify us before our vessels can be captured and before our own gov ermnent presumes to Interfere with our own commerce. Sp&ln rushed In precipitously and with Indecent baste when our civil war broke cut and within forty days after Bull Run recognized the belligerent rights of the Confederates. We nave waited several months and are still waiting, for come Inscrutable reason, before recognizing the insurgents, though they have a provision' al government, a seaport, an army, a long! record of battles and captured1 towns, and are now pressing on even to the vicinity of Havana Itself. Our secretary of sta.e, therefore, Instead of overhauling Ameri can vessels upon suspicion of doing what they had a right to do, better wait until he receives some notification from Spain that there Is war In Cuba, and therefore that arms ana ammunition are contraband, A TRIUNK LINE AGREEMENT The railroads of the country are the reaJ developers . When they prosper the country prospers. It is expected of them that they wilt charge the minimum rate for freight, but it Is not expected or desired that they shall cut rates In ruin cus competition and turn up with deficits Instead of fair dividends. It is to bring about equitable results that the trunk line presidents have got together and have left to a committee the formulation of an agreement that, if adopted, would seem to mean something substantial for both the roads and for their patrons. The agreement is to supersede the pres ent Trung Line Association, but as it must be submitted and passed by the directors of all the lines Involved, It cannot go into effect Immediately. The object ls to maintain a commission which shall have Jurisdiction over the making of rates, thus removing such power from the bands of subordinate railroad ofli clals and making it impossible for secret rate cutting. Joint agencies are to be eataMlahed and the control of competing business centralized. The demoralization which comes from a disregard of rates Is to be avoided. Healthy competition Is always to be en couraged, but wasteful competition that means bankruptcy, if indulged In for aiiy length of time, is quite another thing. The railroads have a right to live and earn fair dividends. When they pass their dividends they demoralize their stock holders. When they demand more than fair rates they demoralize business. T.iere is a sre-at difference between an honest agreement to serve the people and a trust which demands extortion, -mere a great opportunity for the roads under their new agreement to serve the people and themselves at the sa-me time.
