Among office-holders and politi'
clans of high degree a TINES repor
ter yesterday Iambled all the day il
the endeayor to get from them theil
opinions upon the Hayes civil service
reform letter, and these are the re-
suits of his travels: Hon, William
H. Kemble, ex-State Treasurer and
for twelve years the member OF the
Republican National committee
from Pennsylvania, was found al
his bankers desk. cordial and out.
spoken as usual. When asked by
the representatives of The TIMES
how he regarded President Hayes
new civil service order, he whirled
himself around leisurely and said
How do I regard it ? IL is palpably
insincere. IL came from a PreSl-
dent and a Cabinet who have never
practiced it, and who can't believe
in it now. Tile head of the Cabinet
believes in being paid aud well paid
for all he does. He defended Beech :
er for a liberal cash consideration
and that only. The tail of the Cabl-
net is German who, as a rule, nev-
er makes political speech without
being paid for 1t, and, so far as I
can learn, neither of them trouble
themselves to inquire from whom
the money is collected.
Reporter-Do you mean that Mr..
Schurz always requires pay for his
political speeches t?
Mr.. Kemble-Yes, mean that.
Some :ime ago, I think it was 1853.
Mr.. Schurz wrote out fine ptech,
which he agreed to deliver three
times week for $500 per week for
MS, and we took it in PENNSYLVANIA
to the extent.of $500. We raised
the money partly by assessments on
officials and partly by contributions
from Republicans of means, but Mr..
Schurz didn't stop to inquire who
paid the money. He knew that
somebody had to pay it, and must
have known that office-hoiders paid
part of it. I do not have faith in
the sincerity of civil service reform
that comes from such Cabinet off,
GERS.
Reporter-But how does that
prove the President insincere ?
Mr.. Kemble-The truth is that
President Hayes is not satisfied with
his own title to his Office. He wants
to avoid being called before the bar
of public opinion to answer respect
ing it, and he is trying to divert at
tention from the question by an ef-
fort to make the world believe that
he is better than the party that elect
ed him. The last election was the
severest strain ever made upon the
extreme resources or the Republican
party. both in money and efforts
within the range of the best political
skill. The Southern States were
carried for Hayes by Federal Office
holders, liberal contributions Of mon
ey, aided by the army, and the civil
service policy now announced would
have given Tilden not only South
Carolina, Florida and louisiana.
but Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin,
Oregon, California and Nevada.
There can be no Republican party in
the South now, for unless organized
and sustained by Federal officers it
cannot be organized at ALL.
Repofter-How could Ohio and
the other Northern States you name
Lave been lost to Hayes /?

The shaker Suicides.
Exchange.


Additional facts about the suicide of
Mrs. Dill and her daughter, in Cincin-
natl, show that for several years OF their
life in Shaker community they found
the St let discipline of the place irksome.
The mother, who was only 80 years old,
had a lover in the person OF an elder, but
he had high regard for the doctrine Of
ceIibscy, and told her that he should
never marry. He retired from the
society so rs to be away from her.
The daughter, aged fourteen, also found
q lover, q young fellow in the village
close by but his father forbade him TO
court Shskeress. To complete the sor-
row of the Dils, the Shakers expelled
them for their tendency toward woridli
ness. and they went to Cincinnati, where
they were compelled to take places as
servants in family. This WAS q hard
experience for the girl, who had been
pstled and educated by the Shakers, ard
she wrote humble letter begging to be
taken back. She said: al have been
greatly mistaken IN the world. thought
I could have things to SUIT myself, but
find [ was altogether wrong. l have
not had happy moment since l left
home. l know l was headstrong and
unwilling to be taught, but l have
found that my way Is not best, but only
leads me into trouble. l know l caused
you a great deal OF trouble, but did not
do It intentionally. II you will let me
come home promise you l will do diff
f,rently from what ever have done. l
am not taking this step withou, delib-
crate thought on the subject. If you
will only let me come home l promise
You, on my sacred word of honor, that l
will conform to all the rules, no matter
how hard it will be, il thst privilege is
only granted me, ! will do anything that
is required OF me- The request was re-
fused. Then the mother and daughter
decided on suicide, wrote farewell letters
TO their lovers and others and killed
themselves.
