passed, with tears in its eyes resolution
expressive of its "high appreciation OF tho
" valuable services Mr.. Curtis has rendered
"the country by the devotion of his rare
liabilities to its higher interests, and Of the
"hope and belief that he will continue to be
"an active, and therefore most useful ana
deficient, supporter of that Civil Service Re
"form of which he is an hOnored champion"
The Advisory Board sent Mr. Curtis copy OF
the resolution, and Mr.. Curtis acknowledged
the receipt Of the same with tears IN ms eyes,
expressing his gratitude for their confidence
and sympathy, and his "hope to continue
with them, although not OF them, the good
"wOrk of reforur Mr. Curtis remarked, In
closing, that he knew "no measure more IN
"dispensable TO our political morality" ana
none to which he could be more earnestly de-
voted. This delightful exchange of compll-
ments and congratulations upon the success OF
the reform of which Mr.. Curtis is most
"useful and efficient supporter" as well rs ian
"honOred champion" could not have found
its way into print at more appropriate tlme
For the reform, it must be confessed, has
been exposed to attack from various quarters
of late. This correspondence shows that the
Advisory Board is harmonious, and that Mr.
Curtis is harmonious, while. the announcement
of the Presidents purposes regarding the
twenty COnsulates shows that he also is har-
mOniOus. How this proposition must rejoice
the heart of the "hOnored champion" and
"most useful and efficient supporter" of Civil
Service Reform.
Great things were expected of the Reform !;
but this surpasses the widest stretch of fancy.
How Mr.. Dawes, and Mr.. Garfield, and Gen.
Hawley, and all our able statesmen who gave
bonds in the last campaign for the Presidents
sincerity in his Civil Service Reform professions
must rejoice at this complete and satisfactory,
fulfllment of the bond. Truly there's been
nothing like this Reform since Rip Van Win
kle took the pledge. "Dis time don't count"

POLITICAL Reform IN LOUISIANA.


If there was ever demand for Peoples
Party, anywhere, such an organization is
needed now in Louisiana. Chaos seem to have
invaded every department of public affairs.
The State has a debt of more than thirty
millions, to which eleven millions have been
added by recent legislative enactments.
State taxation Is four times larger than it was
in 1868; municipal taxes increase this burden
so that in some localities the gross amount
exacted is a virtual cenfscation of business
interests. The officials, Federal, State and
Municipal, eat out the substance of the land,
being endowed by corrupt legislation with
excessive fees and salaries, and receiving
in some instances, for half-hours
service, what would be equivalent to q lib
eral annual salary elsewhere. The whole
structure of the government is corrupted and
enormously oyergrown, the patronage in the
hands of the Governor being it has been
boasted, as large as that of the President of
the United States. BY arbitrary and unwar-
ranted DEGREES, the government has been sub
verted men have been put into Office without
the consent of the governed; inextricable con-
fusion has been introduced into every branch
of the public service, even down to the most
petty Offices; and the people are utterly at
q loss where to find the legal representatives
of power, or in whom to recognize the
lawful authority Of the local government.
The collection of taxes and all tho ma
chinery which regulates the movement
of every just administration of affairs
is broken and out Of joint. Business is pros
trated; every man distrusts his neighbor; and
ruin stares the State and the citizen in the
face. This gloomy picture is not too darlSly
tinted. For such a condition of things the
warning politicians are wholly chargeable. We
have not time now to call names nor specify
parties; but, from the time when the Casey
gang took possession of q political convention
with United States soldiers and cannon, until
now, the State has been cursed with faction
fights over the spoils of Office and the control
of Louisiana politics. In these contests a
great and wealthy State has been impover-
ished and its citizens have been stripped,
wounded and broken. That is the whole case.
To complicate matters and to kindle new ap-
prehensOns for the future, dissensions between
the whites and blacks have been fomented,
and Ithe awful spectre of possible war of
races has been raised to view. Manifestly, the
only remedy for such a sum of ills is in the
organization Of party which shall vigorously
rule out tho professional politicians and bind
itself to a searching reform in every branch
of the local government. To begin with, no
such party can hope for influential existence
without coordination Of white and
colored citizens The voting strength OF
the State is too evenly divided between
the two races 10 make any pro-
scription on account of race or color safe in
an organization which is designed to combine
the non-partisan elements of the State. VIII

iudicesi This momont0us question has been

HELD BY THE THROAT.

One of the Brooklyn Reformers, in making
a special plea for certain of his associates in
the Bridge Executive Committee, on Monday
night, spoke of Mr.. William C. Kingsley and
his associates as the men who "held Brooklyn
"by the throat" as Tweed had once had this
city by the throat. The parallel is much
nearer correct than most people imag-
inc, or than Brooklyn people, especially,
like to believe. But the Tweed of
Brooklyn is n man OF greater personal
power than his notorious prototype. He deals
with sharper tools than Tweed bossed; his
associates are men Of like shrewdness and
foresight with himself, not the mean crea-
lures whom Tweed hired to perform his dirty
business; he employs no bungling forgers to
alter vouchers and to indorse fraudulent war
rants, and no vulgar burglars to destroy
records that might convict. The history OF

BY the action of the Secretary of the Navy
in sending off the Esquimaux Joe and Han
nah of the Polaris expedition to Wiscasset,
Me-, without allowing them, the opportunity
of communicating with any one, Mrs Hall, the
widow of the lamentcd leader of the ex-
petition, has been disappointed in obtaining
information from them concerning her hus-
bands illness and death. Mrs Hall went to
Washington for the sole purpose of seeing the
natives, and her disappointment is very great.
There is no texplanation yet of the singular
action of the Secretary in this matter, but the
report of the testimony taken is promised for
tomorrow. From a statement in Washing
ton paper it appears that Capt. Hall had entire
confidence in Capt. BuddingtOn, whose ap-
pOntment as sailing-master exactly met bis
wishes. The stories about Buddington's in
toxication on board the Polaris may or may
not be true At his homo in Boston he bore
the reputation of being temperate, steady
man, although there are stories of his having
on one OF two occasions on previous voyages,
abandoned himself to drink to such q degree
as to be unfit for duty.

Judco Selden's argument in the defense OF
Mas Susan B. Anthony, indicted for illegal
voting. will be read with considerable inter
oot Aside from the abstract question of
woman's right to vote, it will be seen that
the larger one of what constitutes criminal
offense under the statute Is involved. The
ingenious counsel pleads that fixed belief
in the right to vote is bar to any conviction
of criminal intent and, therefore, such belief
and good faith on the part of the defendant
must be accepted in defense of the act COM
planned Of The case naturally excites lively
interest in its various aspects, and its decision
will affect many questions arising under the
election laws.
We must suppose that the new move of Mr.
Brooks to secure the GOvernorship of Arkan-
sas Is in the interest of the party lately repre-
sented in the same attempt by the Attorney
General. In that scheme the Attorney General
was supposed to ask two Judges to decide that
neither he nor they, nor Mr.. Baxter, nor any
body else in the State Government, had been
elected. The plan failed. Gov. Baxter had
the certificate of election granted by the Leg
islature, though ne had been illegally counted
in by the Clayton party. 1t was not possible,
apparently, for the courts to go back of that
action and reopen the case. Now MIR. Brooks
begins new action on his own behalf in the
civil courts of Pulaski County, demanding
that he be put in possession of the Office to
which he claims to have been elected. The
issue is very doubtful; but since the Durell
iuggle in Louisiana, no one need be surprised
at any sudden revolution in the political af-
fairs Of Arkansas.

THE JEWS.

The Jewish Chronicle has received
the following account of acts of torture
inflicted upon Jews by Arabs at Eek. A
medical man had ordered, few weeks
ago, poor Jewish patient to use o
vapor bath. But, since the conyeniences
for such baths do not exist in the Jew
ish quarters of that city, and as the
Jews are actually forbidden to construct
the necessary apparatus for indulging in
the luxury of vapor bath, the invalid
applied to the Mohammedan bath-keep-
er, who yielded to the entreaties of the
poor man and allowed him to enter,
with two other Jews by whom he was
supported as he walked in. But they
were at once betrayed. A furious mob
surrounded the men, who were throt-
tied by the soldiers, dragged along the
streets, beaten with sticks, knocked
with hammers, cut with knives, and
pelted with stones, so that their track
was lined with blood. When the wound
ed creatures at length presented them
selves before the governor, one of them
had lost an eye and the other had his
head broken open. This representa-
tive of the Sultan caused them OF once
to receive Eye hundred strokes with
rod and to be thrown into prison.
They were held guilty of having desc.
Grated an Arab bath, for which delin-
