CAPT. WILSON ]. VANCE, editor of the
Canton, Ohio, Repository, has been put
into the Treasury Department as APP
pointment Clerk. His former associates
at Washington, correspondents of the
Cincinnati papers, mite in commencing
the appointment, but will somebody tell
us how much of civil service reform there
is in this perpetual thrusting in of men
without experience in the public service
over the heads of those having expert
enCe? Personally we congratulate Capt.
Vance on his good fortune, but that does
not alter the fact that such appointments
are contrary to the promised theory of
reforming the civil service.-Akron BeG.

IT is said that Hayes was nominated
on Friday, that the Electoral bill became
a law on Friday, that the last decision of
the Electoral Commission was on Friday,
that he was declared elected by Congress
on Friday, and finally, an investigation
of the frauds of his election was ordered
by Congress on Friday. If Hayes should
be ousted on Friday this would be an
other omen.

The fact IL patent TO every intelligent
