The recent suspension of the Bur
lington (Nt) Sentinel (dem.) leaves
the State OF Vermont without a single
democraticj journal Lewiston Journ-
al.

stock SPIRIT OF THE AGE, not so
large as some, but full Of vigor and
earnestness.-[ Republican Journal,
Belfast, Me.
The Lewiston man is mistaken as
to the Sentinel, it "still lives" as an
evening paper, it only having dropped
its morning edition, and . lively little
paper it is too, and we are proud Of
it, and would advise Democrats in
the State, TO give it their support.
AS to our valued exchange, the
Republican, Journal, there is no ADLER
Or better Democratic paper in the
country, and we wish our Democratic
friends would take it in place Of the
so-called leading" papers of New
York City. If the Democracy Of the
country would follow the counsels of
the Republican it would be we'll with
it next year. In the county where
the Republican is published the De
mocracy triumphed last fall, for the
first time in over quarter of cen
tury, which is something to its credit.
Long may it flourish, and expound
Democratic doctrines.

[ am, sir, very respectfully, ---- -
Some of the facts connected with
this restitution are sad, others are sat
isfactoro, and ali are singular. 1t is
to be regretted that the man who has
stolen by stealth should now blush to
give his name, though, perhaps, that
might be ascertained from the books
Of the Money-Order Department. 1t
is ais a sorrowful reflection that he
only stole $40, a comparatively small
sum to restore, though it is q singular
fact that big thieves never make restl-
tuition. We should like to know, too,
what particular form of dishonesty he
affected, if for no Other reason, to en-
able us to form some opinion as to the
relative influence upon the conscience
OF highway, petty larceny, embezzle-
ment, conspiracy and the leaning of
draw poker at the public expense.

There seems to be more or less
activity in the several departments ut
Washington though not exactly OF
the sort by which the country is to be
benefited It appears that the young
men are growing presumptous and a
few have refused TO contribute the as
sessments levied for the Republican
campaign fund. As consequence
they have been promptly decaptated
by the sensitive power that visits ex-
IRENE penalties upon the first symp-
tons Of partisan disloyalty, notwith :
standing some of them were among
the most faithful and efficient men in
the service. No man with a salary
large enough to yield an appreciable
percentage is TOO small to be smilten
by the lightnings of Administrative
wrath, for, if nowhere else in the
whole National service, disci pline
shall be maintained in the political or
ganizatlon. If man opposes officials
like Ames or refuses money on call to
strengthen their political interests, off
goes the head Of the recalcitrant Buck
ingham. 1t may be this interference
quite as much us suffering business ut
home that accounts for Treasurer

tainly is these constant instances Of

Of spite and spleen that give over even

he holds his present position. Evil
IDENTITY there is trouble ahead in the
happy Washington family. Is this
the sort of Civil.Service Reform, that
Grant and his party promised the
people in 1872, if continued IN power,
for another term? We have asked
this question quite often within the
last three years and the Republicans
do not answer it only by contradictory
acts.-''By their fruits ye shall know
