The presence at Washington of John
Palmer, of Albany, and other prominent
members of the Grand Army in York
State, to fulfill an appointment at the
White House, gives rise to rumors of q
"clean sweep" of Federal otfice-hold-
ers and the appointment of veterans in
the place of the present incumbents
The postmasters of the chief cities and
Revenue Collectors are trembling for
their heads. Probably the danger has
been very much exaggerated. Mr..
Hayes is not likely to turn out good Of
ficials simply to make room for men,
bers Of the Grand Army. If he con-
templates the removal of officials who
have used their offices to "run the ma
chine he is probably ready to consider
the claims of veterans with others
and recognize them when they deserve
it, as in the case of the new Surveyor at
New York. If fact, the law of the
United States requires him to prefer the
veterans to others in making appoint
ments to the civil-service, other qualifi-
cations being equal. This is rule estaJ-
lished by Congress, and is not a proper
feature of civil-service reform, however
much it may be dictated by national
gratitude. That the President proposes
to wage war upon Mr.. Conkling by a
clean sweep of this character is not
probable. In fact Gen. John G. Rob-
inson denies the participation of the
Grand Army i'll any such scheme.
We believe Mr.. Hayes will continue
a steady and increasing pressure in IA
vor of clean and efficient administra-
ton. Those who have attained con-
viction of the Importance and ultimate
triumph of such a policy in the Ameri-
can Government have probably also
cultivated some degree of patience in
looking for its results. They will not
think it necessary with the New York
Nation to pull up the beans every morn
ing that they do not show visible
growth, and conclude that civil-serv-
ice reform has been abandoned" But,
on the contrary, the efforts of the Ad-
ministration have been far from fruit
less. We see purified service, now at
Boston, now at Chicago, or New York,
or New Orleans.
Efficient public servants take the
place of those appointed to manage
politics. The brother-in-law of Gen.
Butler, who administers the New Or
leans Postoffice from his Lowell resi-
dence, is quietly removed. Revenue
Collectors guarantee the safety of refus-
ing to pay political assessments, and
the federal official ceases to pull the
wires and make the states of local poll
tics. Enough has been accomplished
to encourage rather than discourage.
The work of an Administration, that
which makes it an eventin history, does
not happen in day, and unfortunately
cannot be heralded in triumphant dis
patches every morning. Neither does
it proceed by one uninterrupted flow of
circumstances. SpringfeldRepubtican.

The Heroism Of an Engineer,

Train thirty-six on the Pennsylvania
railroad left Philadelphia at 1886
on recent morning. Its time
through to Jersey City is one
hour and fifty-four minutes, and
the passengers are due in New
York in two hours. There were five
crowded passenger coaches. German
town junction is the only stop. Leav-
ing Germantown, the train passed the
small stations in New Jersey and
whirled through Trenton on time.
Ed. Osmond, the engineer, sat with
his hand on the throttle of the engine,
steadying it,but keeping itup to its six
ty-five miles an hour. Running these
fast trains is no boys play. Only the
Oldest and most reliable engineers are
intrusted with the task. Osmond has
been fifteen years in the company S
service, and has run an engine for ten
years.
He was approaching Milestone juno
tion, about q mile west of New Bruins
wick, when Osmond felt something
strike the cab directly beneath him,
and the next instant he was lying pros
trate on the engine in front of where
the cab had been. Itwas knocked into
pieces and strewn along the track.
The engine, deprived of his control,
gathered fresh impetus every moment
from its open throttle. Osmond, half
stunned, lay for second till he felt
that no bones were broken and his grip
was secure. There was a burn or two
and scald or two, but he did not feel
them, so great was the nervous tension.
After he had sufficiently recovered
himself he saw what had happened.
The heavy connecting rod of the driv-
ing-wheels on the right side of the
engine had broken, and one end of il
swinging around with tremendous We
locity had hit his cab with the force of
trip-hammcr and knocked it skyward.
Slowly and carefully at first, but
with increasing confidence, Osmond let
himself down into his place. 1t was
the work of moment to reverse the
engine, and of another to apply the
air-brakes. The train was at stand
still before New Brunswick was fairly
in sight.
The fireman, who had witnessed it
all, was in his place on the left side OF
the tender, and so out of danger of the
whirling iron arm; but when the cab
was knocked in pieces about his ears
he thought all was over with poor Os-
mond. He caught the rear edge of the
tender, let himself quickly down, and
took refuge in the baggage-car.
The passengers on train thirty-six lit
tie knew of theirnarrow escape. 1t is i'm
possible to say what would have been
the result if Osmond had done what
many engineers would have done.
jumped for his own life, and left them
to their fate. 1t was an act of quiet
heroism in the discharge of duty that
has not often been equaled in the fierce
heat of battle.
Osmond needed no apology to Super
intendent Barker for being three-quar-
ters of an hour late with train thirty
six on that morning. San.

R1- The Republicans of Alabama
have decided to make no nomination
for State offices. They are thoroughly
convinced, and upon the best of evi-
dence, that, were they to take part in
the election, their votes would not be
counted, and they would simply give a
tacit acknowledgment to the fairness
of a contest which they knew to be
fraudulent and corrupt. While taking
this course, however, they do not for a
moment falter in their fidelity to the
principles of Republicanism, nor re-
linquish the belief that now, as in 1872
and 1874, they have a majority of the
legal voters of the State. They submit
simply to force and fraud which they
cannot hope to overcome. In doing so
they issue an address, which is most
touching in its simplicity, earnestness
and truth. They declare that their
struggle is one of poverty against
wealth, and hereditary timidity and
submission against courage and ag-
gression. Yet having the truth and
the right on their side, they are still
assured that they will triumph in the
end.-N. Y. Times.

A French gentleman anxious to find
wife for a seapegrace nephew, went
to a matrimonial agent, who handed
him a.list of his lady clients. Running
this through, he lighted upon his wife's
name, entered as desirous of obtaining
husband between the ages of twenty
eight and thirty-fve-a blonde pre-
ferred. Forgetting his nephew, he
hurried home to announce his discovery
TO his wife. That lady was not at all
disturbed. 80 yes" said she, "that

were so ill in the spring, and the doc
tor said we must prepare for the
worst" This was at least an honest
confession. Chambers Journal.
