AFTER all the resolutions Of the
Republican party in favor of civil SER
vice reform, and the public declaration of
the President that the practice of levying
assessments on employees of the Govern
ment for political purposes has been en-
tirely abolished, the clerks in the depart
ments and oliceholders all over the
country are being blackmailed as usual
for the benefit of the Administration
party, or for that Of political bummers
who are in favor at the White House.
Not only tins, but the kitchen organ of
the President has the efrontery to de-
fead the practice as perfectly proper and
says that no good Republican who
desires the continued success of the party
viii object to the circular of Edmunds
now circulating for the object of securing
contributions in the several departments
1t is pretended that these contributions
are voluntary !; but II Is very well known
that those who receive the Edmunds
circular do not dare to withhold their
tribute
Not only the men in the departments
but the women also are compelled to
respond to the demand for blaekmail.
Some of these are poor widows with the
children of dead soldiers to support
but that makes no difference, and if one
is in the receipt Of salary of 500 a
month, twenty-five dollars are seized by
these political sharks. while if even a
look of dissatisfaction accompanies the
forced contribution, she knows that she
is liable to be instantly discharged. If.
the salary these women receive is less
than 500 amonth, they are compelled |
to deliver their money to the Secretary
of the Uaion Congressional Republican

4 Few Words on State Politics.

For months previous to the Republican
convention it was well known that Har-
rison Ludington was to be the nominee
for Governor. Here and there a little
spasmodic opposition manifested itself;
but among the leaders of the party the
postmasters, the federal office holders,
the men that have of late controlled the
affairs of that party in the State, there
was no question on this point And why
was Mr.. Ludington selected as the nom
inee for that position? Was it on account
Of any peculiar qualification which he
possesses to discharge its duties
to the advantage of the people of the
State? We are not aware that this has
ever been claimed. Was it because he
has ever giver evidence, by word or by
action, that he is in sympathy with the
people in the solution of the important
question that have of late arisen, and
that so largely concern their welfare
Even the Chairman Of the Republican
State Central Committee would hardly
aors to tadFert 5h bs Why then was he
effort was made. even on the part Of his
friends, to conceal the fact that he was
to be nominated because Of his ability
to spend money in the canvass. Relying
on this and this alone, the Republican
convention boldly nominated him, and
in so doing, by that act, as boldly pro
claimed to the people of this state that
money could seat a man in the executive
chair.
1t was not even deemed necessary
that Mr.. Ludington should stand on
platform which he himself could endorse
He accepted the nomination, and at the
same time accepted platform which
had not been adopted by the convention,
nor even written. Some of his friends
claim that he intended only to state that
he would at some future time, express
his opinion respecting it. We have no
desire to do Mr.. Ludington any injustice,
and viii therefore consider his remark to
the convention as a''slip of the tongue,
que" and take his own statement of the
case subsequently and deliberately made
In his letter to h!r. Lewis, chairman of
the convention, written FIVE days after
his acceptance, he says: "At the time |
accepted the nomination for Governor.
at the hands of body over which you
presided, tie PLATFORM bud not Been
adapted, and | promised to ex press my
opinion with respect to it in letter to
the convention - Here is Mr. Luding-
toms own declaration that heaccepted a
nomination for Governor without know
ing anything Of the principles which
might be embodied IN the platform.
And what does this mean? Is it not
equivalent to saying, ''give me an Office
and so far as principles are concerned, l
will swallow any dose that you may see
fit to prepared" Thisis the plain mean
ing of his language There are indeed
few men bold enough to 90 before the
people of this State with such a declara-
ton, and if there is any credit in 50 do
ing, Bluff Old Hal" is entitled to his
full share. Times

For some time past We have been
publishing short Geographic accounts Of
of an instruction IN the province of
Herzegovina, but the Chicago Tribune
says that these give little indication of
the Importance which really attaches to
the succession of troubles that have been
breaking out within few years in the
northern provinces Of European Turkey.
The outbreak which Immediately pre-
ceded the present uprising was in Mon
tenegro, smaller province adjoined
Herzegovina, and both border on Dali
malta, which is part of the Austrian
Empire. The fact Is that all the Turk
ish provinces in Europe north Of the
Balkan range of mountains are alien in
race, language. traditions, and religion
to the governing power, who are Turks.
This includes the large States of Mol
dayia and Wallachia. which have already
.
achieved a sort Of independence
Bulgaria, Servia, Bosnia, Crematia,
Herzegovina, and Montenegro are still
under Turkish oppression.
When the Turks forced their way
several centuries ago into Europe, the
native population gradually receded be-
fore them into the northern provinces.
| The further north the Turks went the
smaller were their numbers. and they
composed a lesser proportion to the
whole population, In the provinces we
have named, the proportion Of Turks is
not more than one-ffth Of the entire
population. Four-ffths of the people
are of Slavic origin, and belong to the
same family as the population Of Hun.
gary and Pennsylvania, which are now
parts of the Austrian Empire. They
are Of race that was among the first to
adopt the Christian religion, and the
present population is divided in dogma
! between theGreek andRoman Churches,
but with large preponderancc in favor
Of the former. There is. therefore, not
the slightest sympathy between these
people and their Asiatic Mohammed dan
rulers.
1t is morally certain that the Slavic
population in Turkey north of the Balkan
Mountains will not submit many years
longer to the extortions and abuses which
Turkey imposes upon them for the sup
port Of an extravagant and corrupt Court
and Government with which they have
no sympathy, and religion which they
despise.
