Is This Civil Service Reform

Is This Civil Service ReformP
We hear so much and see so little of the
presidents civil service reform that we
sometimes wonder. with the rest of a very
good -natured public whether the president
imagines that fine words really butter civil
service parsnips? Every few days the
Washington correspondents are inspired
with flood of what is miscalled ''intelli
geuce" about forthcoming message to
congress on this great question, and they
are all pretty unanimous in declaring that
the president will never, no never, consent
to allow congressman to dictate to him
whom he shall nominate to office, and that
he will not consult them about such mat
ters, but will wave them away from the
White House with happer contrived by
pasting the constitution and the Cincinnati
platform on to his letter of acceptance.
And behold! while we are ali beguiled
with these fac promises what goes on un-
der the presidential nose in the post Office
department. We have before us circular
addressed by Mr.. James N. Tyner, FIRST
assistant postmaster general, to a member
of congress, respectfully requesting the
representative to recommend the appoint
ment" of a postmaster in his district. We
happen to know that hundreds of such cir
culars are sent out to members of congress

service document

The u. 3. signal service.

Gradually, the wild and ungovernable
forces of nature are, through science, made OF
use to man. Following in the wake of the in
genious inventions for the use of steam and
electricity, comes the organization ofthe T. 8.
Signal Service. Is it not wonderful that q
system could be originated and perfected
whereby an operator can accurately predict
the weather of a distant locality? And yet ex-
perience proves our storm signaT to be reli-
able. Equally great are the advances made in
the science Of medicine. Step by step, uncer.
tainties and doubts have yielded to absolute
certainty. The discoveries of Harvey and
Jumer have been succeeded by the Golden
Medical Discovery of DR.. r. Y. Pierce. Nc

Hundreds of testimonials are on file in the of

doned all hope, and had been given up to die

spOn.aneou. .<ni.,on of Hay.

A case of what seemed to be spontan-
eous combustion in hay-mow occurred
at North Amherst, Mass, in July last,
and the questions are asked, Are such &C.
currences possible, and if so are they fro
quent? Without doubt it is possible for
hay to ignite spontaneously, but it does
not often occur. When last in England,
we remember to have passed,in travelling,
farmers premises where the hay-ricks
had been burned the night before from
spontaneous combustion, as alleged. That
hay may thus ignite, the ,nditions must
be quite unusual. Well cured, dry hay
is always safe, but that which is imper-
fectly cured or which has been exposed
to rain, may become so intensely heated
as to char, and ultimately to ignite
Combustion is an oxidizing process, and
when the carbon and hydrogen of the
hay are in condition to attract oxygen
rapidly, the temperature may reach the
point whence flames must spring up, anC
then the work of destruction goes on
rapidly. Whilst the danger of spontane-
Gus combustion of hay is not great, still
it is possible, and hence care should be
observed in curing ard storing it,

THE FARM AND HOUSE.

From sunfiower seeds is expressed q
palatable, clear and flavorless oil, the
demand for which in Russia is very great.
It is exported from st. Petersburg at
about 500 per gross ton, and is said to be
extensively used, like cotton-seed oil,
after purifying, for adulterating olive or
salad oil. A considerable quantity is
grown in Russia for oil pressing; the
plant being largely cultivated in Keels
and Podalia, also eastward ON the black
soil lands, the stalks being used for fuel.
During the last twenty years the prac-
tice of luxurious self-indulgence has
crept on apace. Splendor and spending
are still the order of the day, and house
holds vie with each other in the race of
ostentation. Extravaganza, not economy,
is the standard of domestic happiness at
present in fashion. 1t is not girls
ideal. when she marries, that she should
stay at home; but, on the CONTRARY, that
she should leave it perpetually. In a
word, if you get atthe herat of great
many girls, you discover that their ideal

The Cellar.

Except in cases of direct poisoning
from foul drinking-water, we doubt if
there ever was case of typhoid tendency
that did not originate in foul cellar, one
neglected in the fall and spring; and even
when diseases have been communicated
by others, and from distance, their
fatality and malignitv have been largely
determined by the condition of the air
sent through the house from its fondation
and base, rising in every crack and chink
to attack the weakest and most sensitive
"a fact which cannot be stated too often
until it has been drilled into the ears in
the most negligent and stupid, and in
some way fastened to their brains, if they
have any, and until they cease to call that
visitation of Providence which is the
result of their own Incidence and slovenli-
ness.
When everything has been picked up
in the cellar and "set to rights" scraped
and secured, where that is desirable, a
bucketful of whitewash will not cost q
half dollar, and will sweeten the whole
winter and spring; and as it does moi
need to be done artistically, any boy car

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Thos. H. Brents, the Republican
nominee for Delegate.
Tuls is the age of high pressure in
business, and low prices. Even BIO
graphies are written up, free OF
charee-thc only requirement being
to become a candidate for office.
MEssRs. Ballard and HaIler are
making thorough canvass of this
judicial district. The election CON
test for Prosecuting Attorney has
but little to do with politics, and will
result in a decision rs to who is best
qualified, by experience and ability,
for the position.
The editor of the B. B. " Mail"
proposes to go into the banking bust
ness as soon as the fiat money
system, which finds favor in the eyes
of some, comes in vogue. This IL
nancial policy, if it may be termed
such, reminds one of certain king
who, in order to make his subjects
rich and have plenty of money in his
realm, manufactured lot of legal
tenders Of various denominations,
out of iron. An unlimited quantity
of money thus found circulation.
But alas for the schemes of little
brains! The poor king and his sub
iects found that the value of goods
remained unchanged and that the
money deteriovared in value in pro-
portion to the quantity in circulation.
THE New York Tribune' is Just
waking up on the subject of Demo
cratic election frauds. 1t claims that
a large portion of the Democracy Of
the country while industriously howl.
ing about the alleged stealings of the
Presidency, by the Republicans,
were making use of the stop. theif
cry in order to divert attentention
from their own frauds. This paper
has captured a lot of correspondence
and cypher kilograms which were
sent during the last presidential
campaign, and now it proposes to
publish them. This state of things
must certainly conduce to the graft
tication of those who are acting the
part of Democratic leaders with the
great " fraud'' cry on their lips.
We would call the attention of the
voters of Clalam and San Juan Coun-
ties especially to the advertisement
of Capt. Jno. Morris, of Dungeness,
as inserted in this issue Of the AR.
GUS. The Captain is in the field
sure ; and, while we cannot more
fifty explain the circumstances which
induced him to appear, than he has
himself done in the notice, we may
with propriety allude to few of his
qualifications for the position which
his friends have induced him to seek.
He is man Of mature years, good
education, strict honor and integrity,
and above all an extensive and varied
experience. During a residence of
many years in CIalam County, he has
acquired a knowledge of its wants,
and an understanding of matters of
the most Importance in the neigh.
boring counties, hence his efficiency
as legislator will be apparent to all.
We are gratifed to have an oppor-
tunity to candidly bear witness to
the sterling worth and desirable
qualities of this gentleman, and to
urge upon the voters of Claam and
San Juan, his claims for their sup
port in the coming election. When
there were but two candidates for
the position, we freely expressed our
choice and gave solid reasons there
for; we now urge upon the Repub-
lican voters, in this contes., to favor
the third candidate as being most
worthy Of their suffrage
