cOVery during the late Presidential canvass.
Several people still remember that one of the loud
est of the declarations of principle" by both
parties was promise to purify and regenerate the
Civil Service; that the candidates took special care
to emphasize this pledge and t1at a large volume of
Republican eloquence was expended to prove that
this desirable result could be achieved more readily
by Mr.. HAYES than by Mr.. Tilden. If these promises
were necessary in order to successfully the
reflective vote last year, it hardly seems TO be the
highest political wisdom. from partisan
point of view, to boast now that they were only
made for the purpose of obtaining votes under false
pretences. There was time when such nsOence of
party management could be tolerated, but that time
has gone by. The men who do not consider politics
a game of old sedge, with pOst-Otlces for stakes,
but who voted for Mr. Hayes because they desired
the accomplishment of certain Administrative
reforms are not now worrying themselves
about getting hold of their share of the
pool. but they are still eager for the
FORMS and ready to give material and moral
support to the President in carrying them
forward. These are the very men whom the Re-
publican party needs, if tho Republican party ex-
poets to have any future. And if the managers
were trfe wiser they would abandon this con-
temptuous criticism of the Presidents policy"
and reserve their dspleasure for any performances
OF the Administration when may lall 10 come up 10
the full measure of the promise that the reform
should be thorough, radical and complete" The
fault of the Administration is not too much Civil
Service Reform, but too little and too Queer-ride

Mr.. Gilmore is working with characteristic energy
at the PROJECT Of taking his band to Europe and,
when we remember what he has already accom-
plished in his career we can hardly doubt that he
will succeed. Ii is by no means so great an under
taking as some of his earlier tasks. We shall be
glad to have him 60 because he viii do credit in
England and on the Continent, and his band what
ever ITS defects, will compare fayOraby with all but
very few of the very finest of the same class. As
a means of raising money for the trip, he proposes
series of mammoth concerts, "arTanged after the
method OF his great jubilees in Boston" If he
were really going TO give us that Fort of trouble the
people would no doubt subscribe the funds to send
him abroad Immediately.

BY capturing Lovatz--a town twenty miles
south of Plevna-the Russians have deprived
the Turks of an important position, and
avcrted all danger of their advancing upon
Sclvi and Tirnova. Nearly a month ago, Gen.
SkObrlof made strong reconnaissance
against Lovatz, and found it strongly de-
Tended The information gained then, no
doubt, enabled him to act prudently in the
final assault. Had similar precaution been
observed at Plevna before the battle, the re-
suit would undoubtedly have been different.

Ten life insurance companies IS only temporary.
The explanation has been that funds were
lacking; but a recent decision of the Attorney
General will enable them to be supplied Since
there is no excuse now for further delay, the
public will again expect, as it did when Mr..
Smyth entered upon Office, that these investi-
cations will lie pushed with all possible speed.
There are thousands of unfortunate policy
holders anxiously waiting to learn the measure
of their losses.

The first day of the Librarians Conference
brought an excellent attendance of the best
known men in that calling, and its work
opened with a practical energy that promises
good results in the future. 1t is a great step
to have secured unity of action among the
heads of our great libraries in the important
work in which they are engaged, and it can
not be long before we shall reap some benefit
even from the meeting that is now in progress.

The prospect for better times grows
brighter every day; but those who hope
for larger business and larger profits
from higher rates, will no doubt hope in
vain for realization of their wishes for
a considerable period to come. We shall
have to conduct our trade on low prices
and live accordingly as we did before the
imitation of the currency by paper issues.
Those therefore, who can secure trade at
low rates of profit, or work at low wages,
would be prudent at least to accept of
such offers. The newspapers from the
large cities that carefully note the state
of the markets, have said many encour-
aging things; but all of them in their re-
ports speak of slightly increased trade
and of hopes for larger one as the sea-
son advances. The early crops have
enabled the farmers to pay some of their
debts and they are putting some money
in circulation by doing so. The country
merchants however are buying very
sparingly; as there is also wise aud pru-
dent feeling all over the country among
the working people to save as much as
they can of their earnings.

Texas Pacific Railroad-ChaDge o
Front.
From the ,Stockholder.

The report comes from Washington
that the Texas and Pacific organization
has modified its subsidy programme
since last winter, and will put in new
bill and plea for Government aid at the
next session. 1t provides for an extern
ton of the main line from Forth Worth
to San Diego, 400 miles, at $3.50 per
mile, and branches, st. Louis and SanFran
ncisco, ,Vinita to the Tooth meridian, 404
miles NJ emphis toJ efferson, ,3l2 miles; \ ew
Orleans to Shreveport, 800 miles; and
Vicksburg to Shreveport, 100 miles-all
at $4,000 per mile of guaranteed five per
cent. bonds.
The aggregate endorsement under this
bill will be little short of sixty millions
about the same as for the old Pacific
Railroad. 1t has long been supposed
that the Vicksburg, Memphis and New
Orleans branches were appended merely
to draw votes from those parts of the
South, and that the real object is to get
first the aid for the main line, and second
to extend the Atlantic and Pacific line
via st. Louis, so as to form through
line from the north Atlantic cities all the
way to the Pacific under one manage
ment. 1t is part of the new effort that
Col. Scott is to retire from the Presid 9n-
cy of the Texas Pacific and devote his
energies to procuring legislation to pro-
tect his Pennsylvania system from the
strikers, while Gov. John @. Brown of
Tennessee will take charge of the subsidy
legislation in his place.

A GREAT many of the Republican
papers are saying in whining way that
the four or five carpet-bag Senators will
hold the balance Of lower in the Senate;
and they express fears that they will
trade off their votes with the Democrats
for few offices. 1t is strange that the
Republicans should be so fearful now of
acts of this kind after trading with and
accommodating the carpet-baggers SO
long. We are opposed to political hucks-
tering; but we recognize the fact that the
Democratic party is conservative party,
and is bound to do the best it can for the
public interest. 1t is the Radical party.
that rejects all compromises and lets the
devil work his will where that party can
not get its objects fully accomplished
We hope to see the Democrats and the
few friends of the Presidents southern
policy controlling this Congress, in such
way as to reduce the expenses very
largely.

HAYES KISSES MORTON.
AN AwFULLY AFFECTING SCENE AT
THE SENATOR'S BEDSIDE.

THE SENATOh 3 kEDSlDE.
New York Times Special. u
& The interview At Richmond between
President Hayes and Senator Morton was
very affecting. When the President and
party arrived several of the senator's
immediate household were in his room
conversing and reading to him. After a
short interval the President alone was
admitted to the sick room. Upon his
entering Mr.. Morton and Governor Bur
bank retired, leaving the tive to converse
in the presence of DIR. Thompson alone
The President became at once deeply
affected, and advancing to the bedside
took the senator's hand in his, and ad-
dressing him in affectiohate torms, stoOp-
ed over and kissed him on the forehead.
Mr.. Merton addressed the President by
name, and spoke his qualification at see
ing him there. The President replied
that not only had he been very anxious
for the senator's welfare during his ILL
ness, but he had found the feeling gener-
al throughout the country. Governor
Morton said he had indeed been near
deaths door, but he now felt better, and
believed that he was on the way to re-
covery, 81 now expect" said he, "to
take my seat in Congress in Decem Der
next, and to warmly and earnestly sup
port your administration" The President
seemed deeply affected by this. Mr..
Morton continued speaking in hopeful
strain referring to the condition of the
at large.

Colum bia:
"Two Governors of the State, one United

two Speakers OF the House of Representa-

congressman, two State treasurers, two

one Judge of the Supreme Court, one clerk

the scores of perjured mem bers of the Gen
