THE CIVIL SERVICE.
In my message to Congress, one year
ago, urgently recommended reform
in the civil service of the country. In
conformity with the recommendation,
Congress in the ninth section of an
act making appropriation for sundry
c.vIl expenses OF the government and
'or other purposes, approved March 3,
1871, gave the necessary authority to
the Executive to inauguratc civil SER
vice reform, and placed upon him the
responsibility of doing so. Under au-
thority OF said act, convened board
of gentlemen, emiucntly qualified for
the work, to devise rules and regulations
to affect the needed reform. Their la
bors are not yet complete, but it is be-
lieved that they will succeed in divising
plan which can be adopted to the re-
lief Of the Executive, the heads of de.
partments and members OF Congress,
and which will rebound to the true in
terest of the public service. At all events
the experiment shall have fair trial.

Which centre round His altar there,

Ours holds the God whom we adoreI
His glory filing all the place,
Shines forth in mercy evermore;
For Justice hides-lest souls should turn,
Unheeding. from the golden store
Whence falleth pity peace and love

CONVERSATIONAL Annortlomnent.

Tie bill proposed in Congress by Mr.. Harlan
Is mainly, just and reasonable, except that It
omits the only thing that makes it in any way
essential at this time. The bill provides that, IN
the next Congress which ,mmences in 1873 +,
with the new President, the House shall be com
posed of $50 members. The strongest, and, in
fact, the only reason for an increase OF the
House. from 243 to $50 members, was, that 1t
wOuld obviate the necessity Of new election in
many States ormembers TO the present Con-
gress. But IL the old States refuse to do justice
by cOnceding representation in the present
House to the nine millions Of increased popula-
tion, we see no necessity for increasing the NUM-
Der above 243. Under that number, several
States will lose part of their Ir sent dsega.
tinn, but will have the same relative represen-
tatisn that they win have if the number be made
$50. If the apportionment Is not TO go into OPP
Grafton until 1878, then the best thing Congress
can do IL 10 leave tho number as at present.
The difference between 243 and $40 Is oRe mere
ly of Office holding, aud, unless there be sope-
thing gaind by the change, there is no reason for
saddiing upon the country 81 additional office.

Unhappy France.

The ignorant and debased masses OF people
In The city Of Paris, have assumed the control
of that oity, debating terms of the provisional
Government. Already they have shed the blood
Of two Of their bravest and mos, honorable Cen
erals. This disorder and rapipS prevails
under the name Of kepuicanism. 1t was
by ju such policy that RoBIsPIERRE and MUR-
AT inaugurated the reign of terror in 1902. OF
one thing the evidence on all hands assures US,
that is that moral element of society in France,
and the prevailing ignorance Of its masses of
people are such as will not accord with that
measure of personal freedom which exists under
a Republican form Of government. The iron
rod of monarciical ruie, with its attendant mill
iary power, IS still requisite to control the wild
beast of disorder.
