The clerks in the departments at
Washington are expected to return to
Ohio and vote, at the election to take
place Cor Governor etc. This Is civil
service reform, for although it Is
stated tina. they are to vote as they
choose, the inference Is that they are
to vote for Judge West, who is per-
sonal friend OF Mr.. Hayes. This act
in the face Of so much talk about
civil service reform does not bear
comparison. 1t is to be feared that
below the Presidents Ideas OF pat
riotism there lies that love for per-
sonal popularity, which We would
generally call demagOguery.

70 During the hard times. when money was
very scarce, we sent The REPUBLICAN to
many good men who wanted the paper, but
Vere unprepared to pay in advance. 1t must
net be supposed that we will always do this
6ing. For in trusting some good men for
the paper we are so unfortunate as to. also. oc-
easionally trust some one who will never
pay. We are not well enough acquainted to
avoid this. One subscription thus lost will
absorb all the profits on good many others,
and to protect ourself, in this new-era Of
good times. we mus: insist that every SUBJ
scriber pay in advance. 1t Is only trifie to
each one. but these "trifies'' soon make a
large sum to US. Pay-in-a advance Is the rule.
II any subscriber desires to discontinue
his paper he must pay all arrerrages.
II we shall. at any time, determine to cut
on any subscribers name we wish 1t dis
tinctly understood that we shall take meas
nres to collect all due us on subscription.

''stonewall" Jackson s Character

The widow of ''Stonewall" jackson says
that no man has been more misunderstood
than her husband. "He is represented"
she asserts, ''as having been stern, inexor-
able and hard-natured. He was just the
opposite. He Was as demonstrative, as af-
fectionate and yielding as a woman.-At
home he was tender, playful and loving.
His whole life hung around his home. He
had no ambition-no love of poWer-no
thought of place or pomp. His horror of
bloodshed was instructive and powerful.
He served his country from sense of duty.
He was passionately devoted to children.
Our first child died, and my daughter was
born only few weeks before his death.
He never took days furlough during the
war; not even to come and see his child
Just before the battle of Charlottesville
I took the little baby and went to see him.
You should have seen what raptures he
went into over that little girls cradle. I
have seen him kneel by her cradle for
hours at time, just gazing into her sleep
ing face" It was suggested that the let
tiers to her during the war would give her
many interesting points. ooh, no." she
said, charming blush stealing over her
face, while soft remembrances put new
light IN her expressive eyes, ''they were all
real love letters. He had little room for
anything else in his letters home. And
then he was very prudent man. and never
talked of his plans to any one.''
