Louisiana. and South Carolina, and the
appointment of Mr.. Key to the Cabinet,
that does not reasonably well accord with
the generally professed sentiments of the
Republican party, or that should prevent
his still being considered member in
good standing.
AS to his famous order to Office holders
we apprehend 1T will be more honored in
the breach than the observance Of it, and
that in fact neither he nor any one else
expects it will be literally carried into
effect. The following. from the N, Y.
Sun, probably expresses about the sub
stance of the matter.
While Hayes and his cabinet are reward
ing party services with Offices, and running
the machine in their own way for their own
ends, he and they are carrying on the re-
form farce by the issue of orders, the pub
lication Of letters, and never ending pala
yer. The latest circular from the Execu-
tive mansion is addressed to all officers in
every department of the civil service, and
prohibits them from taking any part in the
management of political organizations,
caucuses, conYentians, or election cam
paigns.
Now let Hayes and his cabinet take a
rest from the work Of issuing such orders.
This one is sufficient for the present. Let
US wait for its enforcement.
There will be elections in q good many
states this fall. All ofhceholders who take
part in their management are to be dis.
missed. All ofhceholders who, from this
dav forward, try to exercise any political
control are to be dismissed. They may
deliver speeches for their party, or write in
the papers, but they must not show them
selves at any caucus or convention, or pay
any assessment. 1t will be a wonderful
order Of Hayes, when it falls dead.
Honest John Sherman will of course
enforce it, and so will Postmaster General
Key, who lately announced Hayes purpose
to use his official patronage in such way
as to give him strength in his owe party. u
Possibly the point made by the World
in the extract given below, may be more
10 accordance with the apprehensions and
fears of those who are so fearful the party
will loose the valuable services of the
bread and butter brigade. we give then
the benefit of all the consolation to be de-
rived in the premises.
Mr.. Hayes is still speaking brave words
on civil-service reform. 1t seems as il
some Office, holders must, after all, be
doubling the, sincerity Of the reform, ever
after the crusade upon which Mr. Sherman
went against his cousins, and all the letter.
that Mr.. Key has written to the postmas
tiers who insisted upon mingling polite
with their official duties. Mr.. Sherman an
Mr.. Key have promulgated the president
civil-service sentiments, and now Nh
Hayes finds it necessary to promulgat
them himself, addressed to ''all prominen
Federal of6ce-hoIders." Methinks the lad
doth protest too much. 1t is, however, {
shrewd thing, in a political way, for tn
president to promulgate his orders to th
postmasters to keep out of politics; for
seems that if the reformed postmaste
plunged into politics he would not go
uUon the presidents side, but more pro
baby under his fifth rib.

While we have just as little faith in the
final good results Of Mr.. Hayes Circular to
Office holders as any ardent Republican
partisan may be supposed to have, yet we
see no valid reason for the truIy-zealous
and the overwhelming, in the Republican
ranks, to fall to quaking, and shifting
their knees, and crying aloud, SO long as
they see him SO frequently violating his
own Interpretation of civil service reform.
Evidently, in his "amiabIe stubborness, -
he designs TO make il appear to the coun-
try that 10 the evolution and development
of his somewhat new experimental policy
ne is actuated by more liberal views than
prevailed before the new departure, never
theless we fail to see anything he has yet
said or done, except in the removal of the
Federal troops from the State Houses Of

Eagle Anvil Works |
Established 1881

Made at the Oldest Anvil mandatory in this
country. All English Anyils, after time, become
following on the face by continued hammering in
use, on account of the fbrOus nature of the wrought
iron-Causing it to settle under the steel.
But the body of the Eagle Anvil being Of crys-
tallized iron, such settling cannot occur; and the
steel face therefore remains perfectly true. Also,
it has the great advantage, that being CT a more
SOLID material, and, consequently. with less re-
bound, the piece forged receives the FULL effect
by the rebound as with wrought iron Anvil
More work can therefore be done on this Anvil
with hammer one-ffth lighter than required for q
wrought iron Anvil which is more elastic.
