CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

A Washington dispatch relating to
the Presidents order says: "As in
terpreted by cabinet officers, the or
der is intended to prohibit any con-
nection whatever nth any of the
various ward, towns ,, county, State
or national organ atoms for con
Quoting political G. mpaigns, and de-
bars the officehold from acting as
a delegate at political conventions.
The only part officeholders will be
allowed to take in political affairs
will be voting, speaking and writing
for the press. 1t is doubtful whether
an official will be allowed to leave
his office to run itself, however, while
he takes the stump for his party, as
many have done heretofore. The or
der is expected to provoke strong OPP
position from the whole body of
working Republican politicians, and
will no doubt be sharply criticised
when Congress meets by prominent
representatives of this class in both
houses. A Pennsylvania politician
declares the Presidents order will
ruin the Republican party in Phila-
delphia. He says nearly all the off
GERS and employees in the custom
house, post office and mint in that
city hold their places as rewards
for their zeal and style in managing
caucuses and conventions and cleo
tons in their precincts and wards
All fair minded persons must adj
NIT that the principle underlying the
Presidents order is correct, and we
believe its operation will result in
public good. The corrupt practice
of rewarding low politicians with
federal offices, regardless of theiI
honesty or capability, is the princi.
pal cause of the existence of thieving
rings in all the large cities. II the
Republican party can be kept in
power only by the appointment OF
hundreds of incompetent ward poll.
clans to sinecure positions in custom
houses, minis, navy yards and the
departments, the sooner it goes down
the better. The wrongs committed
by these rings of corrupt officehold
ers throughout the country brough,
the Republicans very near defeat and
overthrow in the last Presidential
campaign. Corruption nearly killed
the party, and now it is well to try a
little reform and see what effect will
be produced. We feel sure the party
cannot long survive if the old sys-
tenn of Management in the interest OF
plumber is continued. 1t is not likely
any of the reform measures of oul
honest President will result unfayor-
ably for the Republican party.

Mrs. Libbie Young, wife Of John W /.
Young, the Mormon, has gone to Elmira,
n. Y, where she will spend the winter AZ
a water cure for the beaetit of her health
which is quite frail. In answer to re-
porter, Mrs. Young said; 81 knew that
my husband was going TO marry Luella
Cobb, and therefore / left him and came
home to my parents, and l will never
live with him again-never, never"
She spoke vehemently, although she was
almost sobbing. After "A moment she
said, and there was something of pride
in her face, "But don't you imagine that
he married that glrl for love. No, my
husband loves me. 1t was ambition and
in fulfillment of a promise made to his
father on his death-bed. His father wish
ed John to succeed to his place In the
church, aud that he might do so made
him promise TO become a polygamist.
His marriage with Miss Cobb was his
first step in execution of the promise and
as he thought, toward his fathers seat.
But he has been disappointed. He
was not chosen to succeed his father and
now he bitterly regrets the step he has
taken, and almost every day l receive
letters and telegrams from him begging
me TO return. L treat them with con-

A WORTHLESS RESERVOIR.

NEWARK, n, J., Oct,-A serious break
occurred in the low service reservoir in
Seventh avenue on Saturday last. The
leak was discovered on Friday, and the
next morning the Eastern wall sunk In
about 800 feet, the water having under
mined the wall at the base of the gate
house, and escaped through the hill side
to the South into Mlllbrook, a distance
of 800 feet. The ground in the vicinity is
cracked as If shaken by an earth quake,
and the undermined walls look as
though the South side was in danger
This is the third break since the reser-
voir was completed tour years ago. The
last break was patched up at a cost of
100000. The sum of s312 900 has been
expended upon the reservoir by the CITY.
The last break will, it is believed, oc-
casion an additional expenditure of about
$50 900, possibly mere The reservoir
was formerly An old quarry thar WIS
TITLED in with refuse matter, then covered
with gravel and cement at the bottom, and
walls built up against the sides. The ca
pacity is % ,0OO, 900 gallons. 1t is claimed
by good judges that the entire reservoir
will have to be rebailt, or the site aband-
oned.
