THE ST. JOINS CALAMITY.

Nearly every city in the country is en-
gagged in collecting contributions for the
relief Of the sufferers from the fire at st.
Johns. Thus far the city of Washington
has done nothing. The case is one which
ought to appeal very strongly to the sym
pathy of every community, for unless aid
is promptly sent to the unfortunate inhab-
itants of st. Johns there will he great suf-
fcring among them. This city ought not TO
be behind other places in this good work,
and we, therefore, suggest that 1t would be
proper TO give our citizens the privilege OF
contributing to this worthy object.

TIE BRIGHT PROSPECTS, OF THE so UrH

AHE bhiuHi IhOfBtLSO r fHb SOtIH.
We are glad to learn from our Southern
exchanges that the people OF that section
are beginning to discuss the importance OF
labor and economy rs means of promoting
the public welfare. We think that the
development of the industrial interests of
the South affords the means Of removing
all the evils from which the people Of that
region are now suffering for they are not
exempt from the laws of political economy,
which make public prosperity depend upon
productive labor.
The unfortunate condition of the South
during many years past has led the people
there to attribute too many of their mis-
fortunes to political grievances. II is a
fortunate thing, therefore, that the political
calm which has been brought about in the
South by the wise policy of President
HAYES has given the people an opportunity
to discover that the causes of much Of
their sufferings are industrial rather than
political.
Clearly pcrceiving this fact, many jour
nalists in the South are very wisely devot-
ing much time to impressing upon the
young men of that section the true doc
trines as to the dignity of labor. They
teach that the South can only gain wealth
and material prosperity by the labor of the
hands of Southern men. and that therefore
her young men should not hesitate to take
hold ofany kind of work they can find to do.
They must put their own hands to the pillow
and the hammer. This is right. II would
be better for them TO break stones on a turn
pike at shilling day rather than spend
their time in idleness lamenting the forlorn
condition Of their country.
Such spirit, if it should prevail gencr-

REFORM IN THE VIEW roRx CUSTOM.

The order issued by President HAYES
that Federal ofiice-holders shall not be per
mitted to take part in political organiza-
tons, has caused many DEVELOPMENTS which
show the wisdom and expediency of that
action. Everywhere facts are brought to
light which indicate how completely the
machine politicians have had control Of the
organization Of the Republican party, and
have thereby brought IL to the very verge
Of ruin. Everywhere the men who have
brought discredit upon the civil service Of
the country are found to be holding con-
spicuous places upon political committees
The list of Federal ofiicc-holders in the
city of New York. who also occupy promi-
nent positions rs members Of the local and
state political organizations, is worthy Of
careful study. We find for example, Mr..
ALoNzo b, CORNELL, naval officer Of the
port, is also chairman Of the State commit
tee. In the long list of central committee
men who also hold Federal Offices we find
such names rs JOSEPH ARCHBor.D, collector
internal revenue; FRANK L. HOWE, pension
agent, and many other prominent men.
II is vain to hope for reform from ...::--:
who c"ni;, IT,. :. ,,,riy permit such enormi-
ties. What reforms has Mr.. ARTHUR in
stitutcdp What corrupt men has he turned
conventions, and spent in political work the
time which belonged to the Government,
still members Of committees from which
they can be driven only by the emphatic
order Of the President himself? ..
These facts afford additional evidence
that there is only one course which can he
pursued TO redeem the good name OF the
public service, and 10 satisfy the world
that civil service is to he reality in the
United States. A large portion Of the rcye-
nues Of the nation are collected at New
York, and, therefore, the collectors Office
there ought at once to he a model example
of the reforms which are to he carried out
in all other parts of the land. The public
are waiting to see the sword Of justice do
swift and sure execution. When the Off
cial head Of Collector ARTHUR rolls into the
basket, it will afford satisfactory evidence
to the American people that civil service
reform is destined to bc permanent reality.
The character of the President is u sufficient
guarantee that the just expectations of the
public In regard to this matter will not he
Last, but not least, we find in the long

through what influences Mr.. AHrHuR's sub
