Mr.. HaDes's Soothing Syrup.

The civil service order was bugbear until
tho explanation was offered that its issue was
little bit of buncombe which might do
some good and could not do any harm, but
never had been enforced and never would be
to the detriment of the machine. This point
disposed of, the money question was an
nounced as the source of the remaining
trouble. Even this the President has be-
nignantly solved in q manner satisfactory to
those who propounded it. He intends out of
his pocket to testify to the ardor of his Re-
publicanism, and he is willing to have q
gentle, loving squeeze applied to the ser.
wants of the government with the view of
gaining funds wanted for party purposes.
He stipulates that the pressure shall be very
gentle, but both the clerks, who are to be
asked to contribute, and the managers, who
are to do the asking, understand the real
meaning of the gratifying remark. It lis q
dose of soothing sirup, administered to quiet
the conscience of the civil reformer. The
announcement is made that financial proofs
of partisan fealty are coming forth so freely
that the managers begin to congratulate
themselves on their special fitness for the
office. so ~
