could have been furnished, by man OF
business habits, in ten minutes, on one
page of foolscap.
But even with the most ingenius
multiplication and elaboration of work,
the clerical force is so numerous that il
is difficult to keep up appearance OF
employment during the short six hours
duty that the clerk is supposed to be
near his desk.
During a presidential canvas many
find work in folding and directing cam.
paign circulars, others of the political
dilettanti class write campaign documents,
while third class that has the gift OF
speech is sent as stump missionaries to
discant in glittering Gar6eld-and-Con K
ling like general way, on the history and
destiny of the party of progress and
moral ideas.
Those only who have had long ESQ.,
teric acquaintance with the Government
departments, can realize what an enor-
nous sum of money is annually spent
for blank books and paper with no other
that common sense can see, than that a
still larger sum may be wasted for I'M
necessary scribbling. Thousands OF use
less letters are written daily ofwhich press
copies are taken. This would seem to
be sufficient for the preservation of such
rubbish, but our "best civil service that
the world ever saw" actually transcribes
these letters in large ledgers, and there
ID such an accumulation of these superhu-
GUS documents that extra room must be
rented to store them.
This is little, only little, Of the un-
wrapped truth in regard to the best civil
service &C., that have been compelled
to send you this week in lieu of more ex-
citing political news. Tnere has been no
bill passed this week, only the repeal OF
the bankrupt act, debate without legisla-
ton in the Senate on the Yves. Point ap-
rropriation bill and the Colorado and
Texas Pac fc Rrilroad bills. Indeed It
seems that the era of thrilling legislation
is nearly ever. Blaine and Morton have
made recent efforts to revive IL, but they
have not met with encouragement, and
even the most retrogresslve of the Re-
publicans, if there is any significance in
their quiesence, begin to recognize the
unwelcome truth, that the passed is
passed.
There is legislation in embargo, but it
will be influenced in greater or lesser
degree, by the reports Of the investigat-
ing committees. These have thought it
advisable to hold secret sessions
during the progress oftheir Investigations
so that little is known Of their proceed
ings or discoveries. But there is the best
authority for saying that the majority
will rot, in spite OF the local din and
clamor, be Influenced to swerve from the
policy of economical reduction that has
characterized It's action on the bills al
ready passed.
The opposition will do all it can topre-
vent the reduction, when it will as in the
case OF the diplomatic bill, array itself,
on the record with the majority. The
Republicans as party, are OF course
opposed to any diminunition of the md
that has so long been the cement oftheir
political organization, but in their indi-
vidual responsibility to constituencies
they display keen appreciation OF popu-
lar sentiment, and vote in favor OF
economy. Y. A ..

THE EASTERN STAR-A MASONIC
POEM.
BY KATHERINE GRAY


The night was dark, the path, alas, un-
known
To her who blindly CROPPED her onward

Beneath her feet sharp thorns had grown,
Long had she waited for the coming day.
"Oh, Show me, who of all thy flock am
Dear Lori, tie star that shineth in the
East"

she cried,
although the cruel way has torn my

died,
And found the bitter cup grow strangely
sweet.
Yet do long to see the promised star
CLEAN high and Gear in Eastern skies
afar.
Faces that smiled, when turned to me,
grew co d,
Friendless l walked, all travel-worn
Bore openly the cross you bore OF old.
The naughty looked and coidly passed
me by.
Yet thought ! soon my tired eyes to feast,
Upon Thy promised signal in the East.
THUS WEAKLY Wanuereu, WHth "iShV
Broke on my vision, and looked 10 see

They turned and smoothed my stony
path for me.
And while my JOY at their kind acts IN

This do we follow and the pain we treau
Is leveled by good deeds, madestra ght by

love is wed.
