bilities. It is the habit and fashion OF
our time to deride the doctrine OF ''rota-
ton in office" and yet there is no sound
er principle applicable to the question.
Why, if the fathers of our country and
the trainers of it's Constitution did not
intend to establish the principle of ''ro-
tation in Office" were the terms OF Pres
ident and Vice-President fixed at four
years, and that of a member of Congress
at two years But every rule has its
limitations. Very competent and faith
full public officers should not be lightly
removed, while the terms of incompet-
ent and unworthy inCumbants cannot be
rendered too brief
The rule laid down by Mr.. Jefferson,
regulating ''civil service" appointments,
was, after all, the golden one. The
question he asked was, sis he honest,
capable and faithful to the constitution?
Neither time nor experience furnishes
any better test than this. No system or
policy which practically aud arbitrarily
excludes nine-tenths or fOur-ffths of
American electors from fair, open and
equal competition for the civil service of
the government can be put into practice.
Nor, if it were possible to do so, would
it work well, for when established, at
at least two sharpers for one honest man
would pass the examination. The best
and truest service that the people can
render the country is, first, to elect capa-
bic and enlightened rulers, and then re-
quire such rulers tofill the ''civil service"
with honest men 1t is not constitutions,
or laws, or systems, or policies, or pro-
grammcs on which the safety of the gov
ernmcnt and the welfare of the people
depend. The general security and indi-
yidual prosperity rest upon the men
chosen and selected to obey and execute
the constitution and laws.
These views following so closely upon
the heels of a Presidential canvass in
which both parties advocated ''civil ser
vice reform, though crudely and pre-
maturely expressed, however received
now, will not wait long for general APP
prDval.

INDEPENDENT JOURNALIsM.-The New
York Tribune expresses its belief that
we are to have an administration which
we lit) can honestly support, - 1t goes
on to give the assurance - we certainly
shall not be found capitOusly and mali
cicusly opposing it," 1t certainly makes
a poor beginning in fulfllment of the
promise. when it so assiduonsly aims,
in the same issue, to produce the false
impression that Republican government
is maintained in Louisiana by federal
bayonets, instead of public suffrage. In
order to reach its conclusions, it is
obliged to accept and indorse all the
violence and lawlessness by which War
mouth sought to overcome the Republi-
can vote of the State and to maintain
himself in power, Every step of his
progress was in palpable violation of the
law. The court stopped him in obedi-
ence to the law of Congress, and the
President sustains the Court. That is

AocrDEST.-About6 s o'clock last even
ing, Frank seecoie, an employe of the
Harlem Extension railroad company,
was caught between the ''bunters" Of
milk and passenger car, in the yard OF
the company in this village, and some
what injured. He was engaged 10
shackling the cars, standing between
them, when the bunters passed by, in
stead of meeting, and compressed his
body, between the cars, into a space,
only about six inches In width. We IN
derstand that he was not seriously in

all want at the present moment is faith
in our own efforts and in moral influen-
ces, and the determination to place a
check upon ourselves whenever we feel
inclined to make other people see and
think and act as we wish them to do by
any means whatever. This high spirit
is what we as Republicans have to show.

He says: eve are of opinion that this
