CIVIL SERVICE REFoRM.-The on

CIVIL SERVICE REFoRM-The OPP
position papers constantly accuse
the President with having dropped
civil service reform, but they viii
learn differently from the volumin-
Gus report which the Commissioner
Is preparing to lay before Congress
next winter. 1t viii show the prac-
teal working Of the system inau-
Surated under the present admins
tratlon, the improvements made, the
comparative value OF CLERKS who
have been appointed through com
pctltlve examination with those who
were appointed under the old sys-
TEN, together with number OF rec
concentrations to give the existing
rules greater effect. The report. we
are confident, will convince the
country that the rules have been
strictly acted upon at Washington.
and dlsproye, therefore, the malici-
Gus charge 50 often thoughtlessly
repeated, that the whole system has
fallen into di>use and contempt. On
the contrary, it has been the steady
purpose Of the administration to
perfect it.

FREE EXCHANGES.-The Carmel
On. " Monitor, in speaking of the
change in the law compelling news
papers to pay postage on their ex-
changes, makes the following sensi-
BILE remarks, which we fully indorse.
The local press ought to pledge
themselves to oppose the renomina-
ton Of any man who refuse to re-
store the free circulation Of county
papers and free exchanges. 1t is
not enough that the local paper be
praised at Fourth Of July orations
as the invaluable aid to the political
education Of the people, for that
great interest is entitled to more
substantial recognition. The Nont-
Tor says: "There are sufficient and
substantial reasons for the reenact-
ment OF the repealed free exchange
and free home circulation laws. This
repeal Is a positive advance in a
tendency-already obvious, and, for
various reasons, bad-toward an ex-
tinction OF local papers to make
room for large, monopolizing city
papers. Accordingly, anybody who
has deserved the opinions Of the
press on the repeal Will recollect
that, the larger and more powerful,
the more decidedly did it approve
the repeal. 1t has long been an es-
tablished policy Of the great city
paper to set forth the duty Of the
local papers to scrape together THEN.
local news, and leave great affairs to
great men. it is natural that a city
newspaper manager should covet a
large circulation and great influence.
1t Is his very obvious policy to make
the country papers mere local re-
polters for him. The only thing he
would like better would be to dis
continue them entirely, add their
circulation to his, and substitute a
local correspondent or occasional
reporter for the local editor. A GU
nous phenomenon, Of late frequent
~ observed in divers quarters, is
another instance OF this same pol
Icy; newspaper after newspaper,
local or provincial will be found
having in its Geographic column an
item like the following: THE New
York Bloecg,an OF tomorrow viii say
so and so; and then follows a para
graph, not OF news, but OF ed.IorlaI.
This, of course, has direct ten
doncy to discredit the local paper,
for the reader says: 'Ah. then the
important thing is not what my edi-
tor says, but what the New York
Blo'oyan man says. | guess III stop
my paper and take the Biolgyun.'
There never was more ingenious
device to induce men to cut their
own Threats for the good OF some
body else"

SPAtS.-The last dispatches from
Spain are decidedly encouraging.
Ii the brief administration Of presi-
dent Salmeron has been without any
material results, that of President
Castelar, promises to be all the more
energetic. 1t is good omen that
ne should not only have demanded
dIctatorial powers, but that the
Cortes should have so readily grant
ed the request. For the first time
since the establishment of the fed
erm republic the whole resources of
the nation are to be directed against
the two rebellions which threaten
its life. Castelar's devotion to de-
mocracy is the result of historical
and political study. ami not the fc-
relish impulse to bring about social
lslc Commissions: hence he Is Just
the man to attach to himself the
sincere Republicans, to ALLEVIATE
from such demagogues as Contreras
those Of his followers who are not
too radical to desire peace and or
der, and to make effective warfare
on the Carlists.

PARTY EsESPONSiEIgL1TY.

The Madison Democrat takes no
tice that 1.-THE recent Republican
State Convention neglected to adj
minister a personal rebulie to these
salary-gTabbers, or to cast them out
OF the party" TO which we have
TO say, that the platform resolutions.
in all conscience, were long enough
as they We're, and that it was quite
sufficient to denounce the grabbers
in a lump. The people are not so
ignorant but that they know them
all by name, and it was scarcely
worth while for the Convention to
detain itself day or two IN a te-
diops effort to specify them every
one in person. In this connection
the De0tocrat further observes that
1.-The Republican party cannot by any
action it may take now, relieve itself
from tha responsibility of the salary
grab. That measure received the
support Of the Administration. and
was voted for by the Republican
leaders III the Senate. Senators
Morton, Conl1ling, Carpenter, Ferry,
Logan, all recognized leaders of the
party, voted against an amendment
to strike ont the clause in the appro-
prlation bill increasing the pay of
congressman. Without these votes
the grab would have been defeated"
Very likely. But Democratic or
gans consider it matter of 10 sig
niicance whatever that without the
efforts aud the votes of the recog-
nizcd leaders of the Democratic
party the grab would also have
been defeated. They are at great
pains to conceal the fact that a ma
Jority OF Republicans in Congress
voted against the salary swindle,
and that a majority of the Demo
Gratis IN Congress voted for it, being
thereto seduced by Republicans, to
be sure, as is now claimed by De-
mocracy. The Republican party
seeks to shirk no responsibility that
may properly attach to it for the
hand its Congressman had in the
salary business; and herein is the
difference between the Republican
press and the organs Of Democracy:
whereas the former accepts, in be-
halt Of its party, all the responsible
lty that it is liable to in the premi-
ses; the latter with Il cowardliness
that is contemplate, if characteristic
Ic, seek, for their party, to dodge
and deny their accountability for
the salary affair by ignominiously
sneal1ing behind Republicans; and
that IS the way they justify their
demand that Democracy be installed
in power. The Republican party
at any rate its managers,-are
responsible for enough, 40 doubt;
and particularly III the matter of
the bacL-pay fraud: but, admitting
I'll that may be rightfuliy charged
against Republicans in this relation,
what the people would ike to know
i, upon a comparison OF the Demo-
cratic and Republican record here
III, upon what ground it is that
Democratic organs base the preten-
tons Of Democracy to virtue, or
their claim that the Republican
party should be deposed and the
Democratic party set up in its stead.
Possibly our Madison contemporary
can explain. Very likely it will
eater the plea of seduction.

THE Republican party denouncp

THE Republican party denounces
the - salary-grab" whenever and
wherever it has an opportunity to
express itself. Notwithstanding
Senator Matt. Carpenters attempt
ed defense and justification of the
grab" the Wisconsin Republican
State Convention denounced it and
now, Notwithstanding General b. f.
Buffers defense Of the grab" of
which he was the boosted author
and champion in Congress-, the Re
publican State Convention of Mas
sachusetts has likewise denounced
it. This shows that the Republican
party cannot be led into the indorse-
ment Of wrong even by its leaders.
Since the adjournment Of Congress.
the Republican local and State Con-
veutions Of Maine, New Hampshire,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Iowa. Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota have emphatical-
~ condemned the grab" Repub-
hcan sentiment upon the question is
very clear, and there is no hesita-
ton in giving it expression. This
Is very encouraging political "sign
OF the times" and the popular. judg-
ment will not fail to note it.

JEFF. DAVIS did his best when he
fed from Richmond to make out of
himself reconstructed woman. He
made such bad failure, however,
that he deems the work simply i'm
possible; and this probably accounts
tor his statement at White Sulpher
Springs, Virginia, that he has s.yet
TO meet the first reconstructed wo-
man." Just what Jeff. means by a
reconstructed woman" is clouded
with doubt. His practical expe-
rience among the sex may enable
him to know III what particular they
are defective, and just where the
work Of reconstruction is most
needed. Probably Jefferson will
shed more light upon the subject
when he and the historian Early
have got further along in their great
work. AS the matte1. stands at
present, he is fan from compliment
airy to the women of the South.
| Who has tried to reconstruct them
Who has intimated that they needed
reconstruction Bless their hearts,
they are good enough as they are,
and for Davis or any other historian
to go prowling about to meet one
who is reconstructed, implies lack
OF appreciation on his part Of the
woman as the Creator made them.
# the eN-President is not more
careful he will get in trouble with
