What are the two vital problems
put out to this country at this mo-
ment? First, to get honest, efficient
and economical service in the place
of dishonest, Incompetent, wasteful
and costly service. Not merely to
change servants: that, at best. would
be only a temporary relief; but to
radically change the system. As we
now manage, or rather mismanage,
our civil service, 1t is not only cor.
rups, but corruptinR. The mischief
constantly tends to increase. The
good official Is debauched, the bad
made worse. A more ingenious ma
chinery for propagating public i'm
morality could not well be devised j;
and the people have to pay the piper
in all senses Here is one of the
things to be done-to substitute for
our present demoralized and demor-
alizing civil service, a civil service
that shall be neither the one nor the
other, but shall be all that a civil SER
vice should be, and nothing that q
civil service should not be.
Secord, to get rid OF the southern
question. There Is no chance or
hope of healthy politics until we do
get rid OF 1t; on that point all intelli-
gent men are agreed. So long as the
war issues" are capable OF being
warmed over from year to year and
election to election; so long as a large
section OF the country is disturbed by
violence and paralyzed by misgovern-
ment; so long as white is arrayed
against black, capital against labor:
so long as hundreds Of thousands OF
our countrymen and fellow citizens
have a smarting sense Of outrage and
oppression-so long will the victory
OF the Union be incomplete, so long
will our politics be feverish with dis
ease. The problem Is a knotty one;
it has difficulties which are not les
sened by ignoring them or under.
stating them. But it is a problem
that must be resolutely faced and sue
cessfully solved, il the restored Union
is to be blessing to either south or
north. This is big country; but,
big as it is, there isn't room In 1t for
Poland.-Springtield Republican.

and hit Mr.. Leatherby resounding

in couple more real good ones with
his cane; then Mr.. Leatherby went
for the rocks in the macadamized
street. He broke two windows in a
grocery before he hit Mr.. Bartholo-
new, when he caught the old gentle
man on the side of the head and
dropped him. Then Mr.. Bartholo-
new took to the stone-pile, and hit
young lady on the other side OF the
street, and Mr.. Leatherby hurled a
tremendous big rock, which missed
the old gentleman and blacked the
eye OF policeman who was coming
to separate them, but was so in
censed that he arrested them, and
they were each fined $40 and costs
for fighting in the street. And they
both firmly believe that the unbridled
hatred and unreasonable recrimina-
tions and abuse Of the daily papers is
iniquitous in its influence, and should
be suppressed for the good Of society.

the Southern States attracts the at
tention and commands the sympathy
of the whole Union. In their pro-
gressive recovery from the effects OF
the war, their first necessity is an in
telligent and honest administration
OF the government which win pro-
tect all classes OF citizens in all their
political and private rights. What
the South most needs is peace, and
peace depends upon the supremacy
Of the law. There can be- no endur-
ing peace il the constitutional rights
of any portion of the people are hab-
itually disregarded. A division Of
political parties resting merely upon
distinctions Of race, or upon sectional
lines. is always unfortunate, and may
be disastrous. The welfare of the
South, alike with that Of every other
part OF the country, depends upon
the attractions it can offer to labor.
to immigration and to capital. But
laborers will not go, and capital will
not be ventured, where the constitu-
tion and the laws are set at defiance,
and distraction, apprehension and
alarm take the place Of peace loving
and law abiding social life. All parts
OF the constitution are sacred, and
must be sacredly observed-the parts
that are new no less than the parts
that are old. The moral and mate
rial prosperity Of the Southern States
can be most effectually advanced by
a hearty and generous recognition Of
the rights OF all, by ala recognition
without reserve or exception. With
such q recognition fully accorded, It
will be practicable to promote, by the
influence of all Legitimate agencies
OF the General Government, the ef-
forts Of the people Of those States to
obtain for themselves the blessings
Of honest and capable local govern
ment. II elected, shall consider it
not only my duty, but it viii be my
ardent desire, to labor for the attain
ment Of this end.
Let me assure my countrymen of
the Southern States that, IL shall be |
charged with the duty Of organizing
an administration. it will be one which |
will regard and cherish their truest |
interests, the interests of the white |
and OF the colored people, both and |
equally, and which will put forth its
best efforts in behalf Of civil policy |
which will wipe out forever the dis
tinction between North and South in |
our common country. With a civil |
service organized upon a system |
which secures purity, experience. effi- |
cheney and economy, a strict regard |
for the public welfare solely In ap-
pointments, and the speedy, thorough |
and unsparing prosecution and pun
ishment OF all public officers who be-
tray official trust; with a sound cur
rency; with education unsectarian |
and free to all; with simplicity and
frugality in public and private af-
fairs, and with fraternal spirit OF
harmony pervading the people Of all
sections and classes, we may reason
ably hope that the second century OF
our existence as a nation will, by the
blessing OF God. be prominent as an
era of good feeling and a period OF
progress, prosperity and happiness.
Very respectfully, your fellow
citizen,

little ones. Among those most af-
flicted were Mr.. and Mrs. Laly. OF
their three children not one survived.
This it was that made their hearts so
tender to the strangers who came
seeking sweet Michigan. From this
day forth they became Johnny and

THE TWO ANGELS.
BY JOHN q. WHITTIER.

God called the nearest angels who dwell with
him above:
The tenderest one was Pity. the dearest one
was Love.
Arise he said. my angelsl a wall of woe
and sin
Steals through the gates of heaven. and sad
dens all within. H
My harps take up the mounful strain that
from a lost world swells.
The smoke of torment clouds the light and
blights the asphodels.
Fly downward to that under world. and on
its souls of pain
Let Love drop smiles Ike sunshine. and Pity
tears like rain
Two faces bowed before the Throne vailed in
- their golden hair: - 80 e,s-<e
Four white wings Iessened swiftly down the
dark abyss Of air.
The way was strange. the flight was long: at
last the angels came
Where swung the lost and neither world. red
wrapped in rayless flame.
There Pity. shudderine. wept.6tt Love. with
faith too strong for fear.
Took heart from Gods almightiness and
smiled smile Of cheer.

And 10 thattear Of Pity quenchsd the fame
whereon it fed. 49,
And. with the sunshine of that smile. Hope
entered into helll
Two unvailed faces full of JOY looked upward
to the Throne.
-Four white wings folded at the feet of Him
who sat thereonl 54
And deeper than the sound Of seas more soft
than falling flake.
Amidst the hush of wing and song the Voice
Eternal spake:
Welcome, my .angelsl ye have brought a
holierjoy to heaven:
Henceforth its sweetest song shall be the
song Of Elm forgiveni-

DELINQUENT TAXES.

The, following opinion Of Atty-Gen.
HOckaday in reply to certain INQUIRIES
made by State Auditor Holladay will be
read with interest by all who are behind
in the payment of taxes on personal
property and also by the collectors OF
the state: s.
JEFFERSON CITY. Aug. IL.
Hon. Thos. Holiday, State Auditor:
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 10th, in
which you ask ''It collectors throughout
the state are authorized TO levy on and
sell personal property to collect forfeited
and delinquent taxes?" is received.
Upon examination of this question 1
have concluded that such right exists,
both as to taxes against real, as well as
personal property.
Section 118, page 1,1S3, Wagner's
Statutes. gives the authority to collect by
distraint. in PLAN and unmistakable terms
which construe, applies to the collec-
ton Of delinquent, as fully as to other
taxes remaining unpaid. J.
In fact it is enjoined as duty after
certain prerequisites embodied in the
section have been complied with.
Section 143 Of the same act is Simply
an implied repetition of the same power.
Taking these two sections in connec-
ton with the liberal Interpretation given
them by our supreme court in the case
of the state to the use of Philips vs..
Rowse. 49, Mo. Reports, PIP. $50, Ihave
no hesitation in advising you to instruct
the collectors throughout the state to
proceed to collect these taxes by seizure
and sale Of the property of the delin-
quent.
The act OF March 81, 1875, authorizing
suit for taxes is merely cumulative
remedy. and does not affect tho law au-
thorizing collections by distraint, but
leaves that statute in this respect in full
force and effect. Very respectfully
j. A. HocKADAY, Attorney General.
