TIE nnNNECTIour ELECTION

The late election in Connecticut was
a matter of considerable surprise in its
results. The Republicans have carried
every election for eight years, except in
1867, when English (Democrat) beat
Hawley for Governor by only 9S7. Grant
carried the State in 1868 by 3043, and
last November by Ass. Connecticut
was admitted to be Republican State
by safe majority. But at the late cleo
ton there was an unexpected change:
Ingersoll, the Democrat, was elected
over Republican opponent by the I'M
precedented majority Of 1900. The New
York Sun says: And why is this2
Only one answer can be given. 1t is
Credit Mobilier; the white-washing Of
Dawes, Kelley, Garfield, Bingham and
the other slippery bribe-takers in the
House, and Of Patterson, Harlan, Powe-
roy, Clayton and the other Senatorial
rogues; the re-appointment Of brother
in law Casey to the Collectorship in New
Orleans; the elevation of little Fred.

age to pay their current bills about Wash
ington, but upon the fat, juicy jobs put
through in the last hours of the session,
which they divide out chiefly among
themselves; but last winter so many
committees we're engaged in undressing
respectable rascality that they were
afraid to tampsr with the tempting jobs
that had been relied upon to fill their
pockets in the shank end of the session.
In this dilemma the increase Of salaries
two years back was suggested, and being
hitched on to an increase Of the Presi-
dents pay, which was not an unpopular
measure, the back grab was made in
the nick Of time, to the great relief of
various clearinghouse keepers and other
places where they had running accounts

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

One BY one the members Of the Civil
Service Board are dropping out. The
most notable was the resignation oil
Hon. Geo. W. Curtis, the editor Of HSr'
per's Weekly Journal Of Civilization, a
warm friend and supporter Of the Presi-
dent, and who contributed more to the
election of the Grant ticket than any
one man. He stated plainly that ne re-
signed because the civil service rules
adopted by the Board we're not observed
or carried out. Next was the resigna-
ton of Joseph Medill, the Mayor Of
Chicago, who gives as his reason there
for that. under the executive order
issued on the 18th Of last January
against the holding of State or munich
pal Offices by Federal appointees after
the 4th of March, he felt constrained 70
resign one or the other. and as be pre-
ferred to be Mayor, he resigned his Fed
eral appointment. The President, in
his letter of acceptance, thanked him
for his services, and assured him that
the spirit of the rules adopted shall be
maintained. In this he certainly differs
in his opinion with his ardent friend
Mr.. Curtis. II the rules adopted by the
Board and accepted by the President
tend to improve and elevate the civil
service they should be enforced without
making exceptions for the benefit Of in
competent fayorites; otherwise the So
called civil service reform should be
abandoned entirely.

the storm would break up the wrecked

was sufficient to resist the powerful
breakers, although there are few Of the

pieces. The only effect the elements
had was to drift the wreck twenty-five
feet nearer the shore, and the bow,
which broke away shortly after the dis
aster has been carried clear up to the
mainland. Notwithstanding the high
sea, few divers went below yesterday
afternoon, but none succeeded in rails

the compartments all broken away and
the cargo drifting around at the mercy
