The new civil service reform, which is
to be officially promulgated within a
week, is one of the peculiar indulgences
OF u experimental administration which
is liable to make an Office holder feel that
he is of the smallest possible account in
the conduct of political affairs. 1t de-
clares that he must not attend political
gatherings, and that he must take NO ac-
tive part in any political demonstrations.
1t does not come IN the more acceptable
form of advice or request, but is an arbi-
trary command for al persons holding
positions under the government to let
politics alone, or lose their official heads.
There appears to be no restriction upon
the privilege of voting, except such as
may indirectly ensue from the operation
of this order. Office holders being de-
barred from the privilege of participating
in the various processes by which candi-
dates are manufactured, will doubtless
"a feel that the work of others is not
binding upon them-that the primaries
from which they are excluded are mani
pulated by men with whom they have no
sympathy, and whom they have no power
to oppose in behalf OF what may seem to

Gradually, as time goes on, the powers Of
Europe are becoming mixed up with the
war now in progress between Russia and
Turkey, and it is not improbable that all
the great nations of the east will become
involved. Austria has determined to occu-
Ply Servia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and ii
is expected that the passage of the Danube
by the main body of the Russian army will
be the signal for the Austrians TO cross the
frontier. An alliance, offensive and de
~fensiye, has been made between Russia and
Austria. England has discovered a plot
to destroy the banks of the Suez canal, and
cut OIL her line of communication with the
east, The government Of Great Britain
has become alarmed, and is preparing tc
occupy Egypt upon The pretext of protect
ing its avenues of trade and its commerce
Russia and the Mediterranean states vii
not look upon this move as a peaceable at
titude for England to assume, and trouble
will come out of it.
