TailOring.-We are just tickled tc
chronicle the fact that I. c. St. Amour
& Co. have secured the services of a
new cutter in their prosperous estah-
lishment, in the place of Mr. Dean.
This is what they should have done
long ago, ICE hi&k. We are glad Mr..
Dean has gone. He once cut for us a
pair of editorial pants, threatening to
give US a good fit, because "a local
would do him no hurt" Well, he cut
and made them, and for long time
we tied them over the top of our head
with tow string, and hooked through
the button holes. We used to take d
step ladder to get into the pockets, and
If we wanted to turn up the bottoms
in muddy weather, we had to dig hole
in the ground. We used to reach over the
left shoulder to get into the hip pocket;
and once we came near losing them
fireman installing them for couple
of lengths of hose. and again a
Granger came near appropriatlng them,
taking the seat for an elevator. We
are glad Mr. Dean is gone.

Bradford opinion. [volume] (Bradford, Vt.) 1874-1881, 1874-07-04

The Lieut.. Governor has again
taken the responsibility of defeat.
ing legislation in regard to the liquor
traffic. With entire respect for the
convictions which have compelled
him to take this course. we think
his decision is a mistaken one, and
is on many accounts to be regetted.
While, theoretically, the issue is
between prohibition and license, the
real choice offered to the governor
was letween two kinds of license,-
License regulated by the convenience
or the whim of a small body of in
dependent police, and license defined
and regulated by law. That the
good results upon which the mes
sage lays merited emphasis would
be more nearly secured under the
vetoed bill than under the present
law, it seems to us there is not a
shadow of reasonable doubt. The
veto, however, decides for the pres
ant otherwise, and the question will
hencetOrward take more prominent
place in our politics, which were
before getting much too mixed for
thecomfort of simple minded people.

WHATEVER may he the short
conings of the republican parry
that form time 10 time suggest 10
people that its usefulness is on the
wane, the democracy, aS ol'eh ~
they obtain short experimental
lease of power, are quick to show
that nothing is to be gained by t"rh'
ing over the government 10 tlell'
Take the matter of civil service re-
form, for example. Although II
has not been carried forward nc
cording to the hopes of its sangullc
friends by the republican admins
trati0n, nevertheless very much mas
been accomplished in that direc-
ton, and the motive of the reform
is consulted to a much greater en-
tent than the community are aware
in many branches of the civil ser
vice.
II civil service reform means any
thing it means that officers whose
duties are administrative rather
than political shall not be subject to
removal with every change OF par
ty ascendcncy. 1t means a syste n
of civil service IN which competency
and experience shall count for more
as qualifications than political bias.
But in New Hampshire, where the
democrats have after an exclusion
of several years obtained control ct
the Legislature, Il gross violation OF
the essential principle of Il civil
service reform has been committed
that will serve to make the country
more willing to appreciate the par
tial recognition of it by the repub-
LEANS. Last Friday the legislature
sat ill after midnight, the principal
business being to legislat" Judges
of probate, registers of probate,
police court justices, sheritls and
other county officers out of their
placcs,-for no other reason than
they were not democrats. Another
officer who was turned ont ut the
same session was the State superin.
tendent Of public instruction.
There is no reason in insisting
that such Offices shall he filed by
partisans, and in doing so the dem
ocratic party has made for itself a
record that will be Of great service
to republicans whenever questions
Of reform are bloached. 1t is show
ing itself by this action, as well as
by its outrageous and violent gerry
wandering, the stanchest foe of all
Improvement. What is being done
in New Hampshire is n fair lesson
to the people Of this and every State
where the democrats profess to
have a hope of getting possession
of the State government. AS Il re-
form party the democracy is a stu.
pendous failure. 1t it hungry fOl
offices and power, and to get these
it thrusts aside every considera-
ton Of justice and good govern
ment with open contempt. Ii is
worth while for the voters every
where to watch the conduct of the
New Hampshire democracy.-Ad
