A WORD FOR LOCAL NEWsPA-
PERS.
lFrom the y. 81. TribnneA

Nothing is more common than to
hear people talk of what they pay for
advertising, 6ecs, as SO much given IN
charity. Newspapers by enhancing the
value of their property in the neigh
borhood, and giving the localities IN
which they are published reputation
abroad, benefit all such, particularly
if they are merchants, or real estate
owners, thrice the amount yearly, of
the meagre sum they pay for their sup
port. Besides, every public spirited
citizen has a 1audable pride in having
a paper of which he need not be
ashamed, even though he should pick
1t up in New York or Washington.
A good looking, thriving sheet helps
property, gives character to a locality,
and it is in many respects a desirable
public convenience. If from any cause
the matter in the local or editorial col
umn should not be to your standard,
do not cast it aside and pronounce it
good for nothing, until satisfied that
there has been no more labor bestowed
upon it than is paid for. If vou want
a good readable sheet it must be snn-
ported. And it must not be supported
in a spirit Of charity either, but be-
cause you feel a necessity to support it.
The local press is the power that moves
the people.

such cures are known in every neighbor-
hood, and We need not publish them.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in all
climates; containing neither calOmel or
any deleterious drug, they may be taken
with safety K v ANYBODY. Their sugar coat
ing preserves them ever fresh and makes
them pleasant to take, while being purely

They operate by their powerful influence

For Dyspepsia or IndigestiOns List

For Liver Complaint and its various

Bilious Collie and Bilious FeYers, they
should be JudtctousIy taken for each case,

THE CIVIL SERVICE.
From the tndependent.l

Our Civil Service needs a prompt
and peremptory reform. The bill
which Mr.. Jenekes has introduced
for reforming it may not be the best
which years of future experience could
dictates but ft Is a noble step In the
right direetfoHsand we hope it will be
passed. Its essential idea. is the ap-
pointment of a commission By the
President to examine all candidates
for Government elerkshipss with
view to ascertain the special fitness OF
each individual for the post which he
Is to fill. The bill does not cover can
didates nominated and elected by the
people. Nor does il cover candidates
whom the President appoints by and
with the advice and consent Of the
Senate" Nor does, it like the French
service, provide pensions for employees
who, after spending life time IN the
service, retire superannuated. 1t IS q
bill not sufficiently comprehensive and
radical to meet our own notions of a
proper reform of the civil service but
its very shortcomings will all the more
commend it to those legislators who
fear too great an innovation at one
time. True statesmanship does not
wait q hundred years to unite a Cor.
dian knot It cats it. But true states
man in Washington is as great rarity
as a four-leaved clover in a meadow.
True craftsmanship cannot now be ap-
piled to the Civil Service reform. The
best We can hope for is a compromise
halfway measure. It is a demon
strable fact that about one hundred
millions a year, justly due to the Gov.
ernment, fail to reach its treasury
This mountain of loss Is made up about
equally of rascality and incompeteney
1t is to strike double bloW-frst al
this rascality, and next at this ineom-
potency that the present bill was
framed IF the leading Republicans OF
Congress do not wish to tinge the whole
Republican party with the rotten repu-
tation which justly attaches to it in the
State of New York, they will make
haste to show their fidelity to the pub
lie welfare by the speedy passage O
this needed but too moderate bill.

TO CURE THE RANK SMELL OF
HORSE STABLES

Sawdust. Wetted with sulDhuric acid,

is said, remove the disagreeable am
monical smell, the sulphuric acid COM
bining with the ammonia to form a
salt. Chloride of lime slowly evolves
chlorine which viii do the same thing
but then the chlorine smells worse
than the ammonia. Sulphuric acid on
the contrary is perfectly inodorous.
The mixture should be kept in shall
low eaftheaWare vessels. The sui
phuric acid used alone, either diluted
or strong, would absorb more or less
of the AMMONIA. but there would be
danger of spilling it about and causing
serious dangers, aud besides this the
saWdust offers a large surface to the
