The business men of Ironton had a
large meeting a short time ago. Ralph
Leete, John Peters. Leo Ebert, and 9th
ers, took part. 1t was a disgraceful
meeting. They generally took the ground
that the Government should help them
out Of their financial troubles. Ebert,
the great beerjerker, who has aided to
bankrupt and ruin the community by
getting men into drunkenness and idle
ness, was officious and noisy. Brady
Steece appears to have been the only
honest man who took part in the pro
ceedings. We quote from the Journal :;
Loud calls were made for Mr. S. B.
Steece, who responded at last as follows !:
II am not prepared to speak as Mr.. AL
derman has He is out of debt and am
in The Etna, | guess, has 6ustedi j
think the great cause of our trouble here
in Ironton was our indiscretion. Why,
we remember, four or five years ago when
these iron works were projected, we went
to work here and built the Iron and
Steel Works, the Etna Iron Works, and
Mr.. Norton, the Norton Iron Works in
Ashland. We hadn't the money TO put
in them
| don't know how l do stand on this
question want to pay my debts, if /
have to sell my shirt But let us be
honorable and square, and if we 60 down,
let us 60 down square. We ought not to
put the money which belongs to our
creditors in our wives names. Let us
not agree to anything that is not honora
BILE. No one OF the sufferers here, es.
pecially in Ironton, or the distressed la
boring man, can point to the rich men
and say that they are the cause. We are
all common sufferers. The cause and the
remedy l do not know. We, young men
who 60 through this-young men OF this
community, let US 60 through it square,
and if we 60 down, let us 90 down squartl

Last summer. one Hayes Republican
was discovered in this county. He re-
sides some where up about Tick Ridge,
Flint Run, or Mulga. and we seldom see
him. Last week he ventured in to Court,
and we interviewed him. We asked him
how he now stood upon the Policy"
He said he was not so "promp' as he was,
and he ILLUSTRATED his meaning by little
story. He said there was once a young
colored man who resided near where he
did. The young man joined the church
and got religion. He prayed in public,
talked. in class-meeting &c. After a
time he began to fall from grace, getting
drunk occasionally. One day he called
at the house of our policy friend, when
his mother said, arthur, are you still
religious p Yes, mother A, Use still
strivin'; but isn't so promp as was"

street Cleaning Plans.

The plans for cleaning the streets of New
York prepared by the Mayor, the Com
missioner of Public Works and the Pres
ident of the Board of Health, have been
forwarded to the Legislature in the shape
of two bills. One of these provides for
what is called the ''small contract plan
that is to say, for the division of
the city into districts not less than
twenty in number, and the letting of
such districts to separate contractors, (D
for the cleaning of the streets and removal
of the ashes and street sweepings, and (2)
for the collection and removal Of garbage
The other bill is based on what is known as
the "block plan," the streets being cleaned
and the ashes and sweepings collected by
the Street Cleaning Bureau, while contracts
are made separately for removing the ashes
and sweepings and collecting and removing
the garbage.
Both systems are framed after tho same
model. There is to be bureau distinct
from oil the other city departments, the
superintendent of which is to be appointed
and removed by the Mayor. The deputy
superintendent is to be appointed by the
superintendent and removable by him with
the Mayors approval. The clerks, messen-
gers and not more than twenty inspectors
in ono case or thirty foremen in the other
ore to be similarly appointed. Under the
small contract plan the garbage contractors
are not to be interested in the
street cleaning contracts; no garbage con-
tractor is to have more than one, and no
street cleaning contractor more than three
district contracts Proper regulations are
made in both bills for the collection of gar
bace and the distinctive color and number

that no President can effect a permanent
reform Of the civil service without the
support and cooperation of Congress.
Until the method of appointments is
brought under the strict control of law tho
work begun by one President, however sue
cessfully begun, would probably be aban-
doned by his successor. and the civil SER
vice would revert to it's old condition as
soon as new party President was inaugu-
rated. IfMr. Conkling or Mr. Blaine should
he President Hayes successor it is certain
that his methods would not be followed,
and still less would they be followed by n
democratic successor. Even if Mr.. Hayes
civil service reform could be successful it
would be of transient duration, like that of
the house of the foolish man who built
upon the sand. The successful reformer
of the civil service will not be
President who alienates Congress and for
feits all influence in that body, but popu-
lar and sagacious President who skilfully
wins its consent to such civil service rules
as will quietly supplant the detestable and
loathsome spoils system. Mr.. Hayes is not
that sagacious and influential President.
He has gained the confidence neither of the
civil service reformers nor of their oppo-
nents, and has fatally impaired his power
to be useful to the country in other great
questions of more immediate urgency.
