If Cen Grant supposed he could get into
England without being caught, and proceed to
have a good and exclusive time, he has by
this timc learned his mistake. He has become
the prey OF the Mayors. Pretty much the
whole Of Burke's Pecrage is flying out of It's
covers to ask him to dinner, the Duke OF Well
ington having with something of his illustr-
Gus fathers prOmptness, secured him first, thus
foIc,taling the Prime Minister himself The
royM welcome is not to he wanting either.

the head and the heir, take part in this demon

welcomes of all sorts are pouring in upon him,

noticeable too that he seems to be as well re-

this can hardly fail to please Gen. Grant, and
viii certainly please the American people.

RETRENcHMENT.

We are gratified to observe the evil
dent signs of disposition on the part
of President Hayes administration to
cut off all unnecessary expenses in
conducting the government This COM
mendable work was begun in the Treas
ury Department by the discharge
of scores of supernumerary clerks
kept in position in the past through
the influence of ambitious Congress
men to please some of their more ar
dent admirers and as a means OF keep
ing themselves in place, and it now
begins to penetrate other government
ri Departments. The Navy Depart
ment is being made to feel the effects
of this reformatory movement, while
the Department of the Interior is
about to realize the beneicent results
which a judicious reorganization of
the same is sure to produce. Sixty
eight United States Pension Agents
have for years been quietly pocketing
from eight to eighteen thousand dol
lars year each for the performance
of duties of a purely clerical nature,
work which could easily he performed
by less than half the number of agents
at salaries ranging from one to three
thousand year. Now that the Pres
ident and his advisers have shaped the
southern policy to such course
that it does not require their whole
attention, the whiskey ring and other
officers derelict in the performance of
their duties will be inspected, and as
.'Civil Service Reform is the battle
cry many officials who for years have
profited by office-holding and plumber
will be compelled to give place to
those who can prove themselves more
worthy of confidence ana whose IN
tegrity is unquestioned. The ''sighs
of the times" are encouraging and
the taxpayers may feel assured that a
healthy reformatory era is dawning.
A decrease in the expense of the gov
eminent by prompt mastering out
of the service all useless clerks and Of
ficers, and a reduction of extravagant
salaries to a sum equivalent to a just
compensation for the labor performed
is what the interest of the t0ilIng
masses and taxpayers demand, but
those who enjoy the honors, emolu-
ments and ''perqulsites' of office
and those by whom the fayors are Sc
cured can see no virtue in the reform
atOry measures which the conserva-
tive policy of the present administra-
ton has inaugurated.

WHY Is TIP

We are at loss to understand why
it is that metropolitan journals send
up such wall of pity for descendants
of office-holders and statesmen who
are so unfortunate as to be reduced to
the necessity of accepting clerkship
in any of the governmental depart
ments at Washington, and in the
same breath howl over the inhumanl-
ty of the government because batch
of surplus treasury clerks are dis
charged for the reason that their SER
vices are no longer required. The de-
scendants of great men, merely as
such. are entitled to no more consid-
Grafton than ordinary mOrtals, and it
is no disgrace tor them to shirk for
themselves, earning their own living
as others do, by working for it. Gen.
uine merit should be recognized in any
one and it is fully as apt to be encount-
cred in the more humble walks of
life as among these whose ancestors
received ample compensation for do
ing their country 4 favor. Discharg-
ed treasury clerks, like book-keepers,
dry goods clerks. factory hands. min
ers, mechanics and laborers, whose
loss of situation is never thought of
by sentimental writer's of long-winded
articles of commIseratiOn, instead of
cursing the government and their own
unfortunate lot, should abandon Wash
ington and look elsewhere for a liveli-
hood. The United States Government
is not an asylum to which pets of
prominent office holders should look
for support, but it should employ a
sufficient force of competent officials
and clerks to transact its business
with accuracy and dispatch, without
inquiring of an applicant for a clerk
ship if his uncle was ever in the In
ternal Revenue service, or whom he
assisted to seat in Congress.

NOTWITHSTANDING all the talk that has
been INDUCED in relative to the posi-
bility that the Republicans will be
able, with the aid of certain Southern
Democratic Representatives, TO organ
ize the House, it is not at all probable
or reasonable to suppose that they can
do so. Every Democrat who was elect
ed as such is in honor bound to sup
port the candidate of his party for
speaker. However much, in excep-
tiOnal cases. they may admire the pa
ellie policy toward the South adopted
by President Hayes, they will hardly
feel justified in aiding their opponents

from this consideration it is an excel
lent thing for the mistress of the Ex-
ecutiye Mansion TO set. in these times
OF extravaganza, an example of fru-
gAlity. She is looked upon as the lead
er of society in Washington, and in
