Civil Service Refnrm.

In commenting upon that portion of
the Presidents Message relating to civil
service reform, the Cincinnati Gazsue pre-
sents these practical ideas:
The President devotes considerable space
to the question OF civil service reform. He
aims to fortify his position by quotations
from the messages of his predecessor, Gen.
Grant, and advances theories that are ap.
proved by those who may he classed as
ideal reformers. But experience has dem.
onstrated that while the service may be
improved, and probably has been impro-
we'd, by competitive examination, the
friends OF the party in power will not lol.
crate the appointment OF their opponents
in politics to, or their retention in office
Furthermore, persons holding office, while
relieved from enforced assessments in aid
of the party in conducting political cam
paigns, are nevertheless expected 10 con-
tribute and otherwise aid in political con-
tests. Those who do not thus assist their
party are never comfortable, nor are thev
safe in their places even under our civil
service reform administration, and, as par
ties are organized and conducted in this
country, this practice is bound to continue.
Everybody knows that If the Democratic
party should get into power no Republi-
can would be permitted to hold office, and
if Republican, efiice holders should sit as
bumps on log, as ideal civil service re-
| formers demand, during political cam
| paign, their party would soon 60 out OF
power. No one should be appointed to
office who is not qualified TO I'LL it, but
other things being equal, the most efficient
workers on the side Of the party in power
are entitled to preferment. II has also
been demonstrated that the people favor,
within reasonable limits, rotation in oil
| fee. They can not be worked up 10 the
point of favoring life Tenure, or even Il
tenure based ON good behavior and eflicien-
cy. In this respect party sentiment has
been fully indorsed by the actions Of Pres
ident Hayes. lie has made it rule that
one term, or two terms at most, is sufficient
for any officer, however good hs record
may be. II ia not worth while to have Il
theory that is in advance of the practices
of those advocating il. Competive exam.
nations are good ii SenAibly conducted,
but they have been made ridiculous by the
course OF examiners, and no more potent
weapon can be used for the defeat of a man
or measure than well founded ridcule.
Neither the President himself, nor the
heads OF Department., nor members of
| Congress, could answer all or half the gen
eral questions prOpounded by self import
ant examiners, to persons who are appli-
cants for subordinate positions. Ii man
is competent to Gil the position he seeks,
that should be sufficient, though he might
he fonnd ignorant in the classics, and I'M
! able to name the crowned heads OF Europe
or the age or title Of the Pope.

We said of the Sentinel, last week, as the

Becoming somewhat alarmed Mt the
general tendency Of so large number Of
people to ignore or break away from the
ordinary restraints OF law and custom
there seems to have been a general move
in Cincinnati on Sunday to close up l
the Sunday shows. A dispatch from lhat
city on Monday says:
Last night the Police Commissioners is
sued an order to the Superintendent Of
Police To arrest all persons performing on
Sunday in any Of the theatrical, variety or
concert shows, and the result was that the
most OF the shows that are usually opened
on Sunday, closed their doors, except at
Hauck'S opera house and one or two Others
When the performance begun the Police
promptly arrested everybody they could
find violating the order, and abou fifty
persons were arrested, all of whom gave
bail. Tonight not a theater or concert
hall is open. All day, Vine street, upon
which most of these places are located, has
been filled with people apparently not
knowing how TO spend their time. 1t has
been estimated that the attendance at Sun
day places OF amusement here has grown
TO be from three To five times as great
as upon all the churches.
Recently the matter has engaged atten.
tion from both the newspapers aud The
City Council and this movement may be
in response to public sentiment. 1t is
claimed, however, by the prOprietors
that they are violating no law, and they
look with confidence to acquitial in the
Police Court. One establishment an.
nounces that it will open at II o'clock
| tonight.

A Wonderful Record.

Myriads OF so-called specifies and
cures" for Rheumatism have already
been brought before the public, and many
OF them have even been endorsed by the
certificates OF respectable and prominent
citizens, who have derived benefit from
such preparations There is no doubt
that great many of these Liniments,"
coils" etc, SO widely advertised and tree
ly recommended for Rheumatism aud pain
ful complaints of similar nature, have
genuine merit and will relieve certain
types of the complaints named but when
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, and kindred dis
eases have become chronic and threaten
serious results, you may rest assured that
they will help but very little. Although
not recommended as iulalliable," the pc
culiar qualities OF ST. JACOBS OIL especi-
ally adapt it 10 those cases which may be
termed "chronic," ard which have pre-
viously wiIhstoOd all known specifics" J."
as well MS the prescriptions Of the best
physicians.
We wonld mention. as an example, the
case Of Mr.. a. IIeilman, editor Of the
Pitsburg Republican, who suffered with
Rheumatism for two years Alter vainly
using all the hest recommended remedies
and exhaustng the skill OF the most cx-
perienced physicians without even tenn
porary relief, it required only two bottles
OF ST. JACOBS on to effect permanent
cure. Mr. G. Hanni, well known citizen
OF Youngstown, Ohio, secured for his wife,
who for twelve years had been constant
suffer er from Neuralgia in the head, the
services Of the ablest physicians IN the
land, but they were unable to do anything
for her; half bottle of ST. JACoBs OH
cured her. Mr.. Wm. Reinhardi, Elmore
Wis, reports the case OF neighbor who
for twenty-lour years had suffered so ter.
ribly with rheumatism that, ut times he
could hardly move around; q few bottles
Of ST. JACOBS On cured him. To CAP
| the climax" however, MIR. \. Neiger, ol
! Tay !orvIlle, Pa, writes that his mother
| who had been Il continual sufferer with
! rheumatism for the past thirty years, used
one boil OF ST. JACOBS OIL and was i'm
medalely relieved Of all pain. These ar,
results which truly deserve to be brought
to public notice; but they are not exccp
lionS, as will be seen by the numerous Other
certificates from all parts of the United
States. 1t should be the duty Of every out
to call the attention Of his suffering friend
and nelghb bors TO this wonderfully ellicd
cious preparation, especially AZ the low
| price oil 80 cents bottle places it with
in the reach OF all persons, rich unC
poor.

oUu WASHINGTON LETTEn

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 8, 1879.
Congress has got Mt work, but it ia really
doing nothing, nor will it do much until
after the holidays. The Democrats, OF
course, control the business Of Legislation,
having a majority Of all the Committees,
and il is fairly charged that they are
purposely holding back the business be-
cause they dare not let the hot heads in
their ranks have chance to spread them
selves. The cooler Democrats think that
il they postpone action for month or
more on all important matters they can
prevent serious blunders, but it is probable
that the Confederate Brigodiers are too far
in the whirlpool of fatal errors TO draw
out.
Speaking OF this reminds me that many
Democrats signify readiness to nppropri-
nte money for the pay of the United States
Maishals, which they refused last Spring.
1t will make very little difference whether
they appropriate the money or not, this
year or next; the United States officers will
serve at elections, and he paid from private
means, to be refunded by the government
when the Republicans get into complete
power in 1881.
The manly character Of the Presidents
Message commends il TO all classes. But
the Democrats made one grand mistake
touching il when they think it iirebrand
to divide the Republican party. The Re
publicans have learned to he tolcrent Of
each others views and will not quarrel even
il they disagree on most points. The Pres
| ident s recommendation to withdraw green
backs gave great delight to the Greenbaclt
| Democratic combination, for, said they this
viii be new legislation, aud will ngitte
the very question they did not want to
disturb. But scarcely had they began their
rejoicing, when the Republicans in both
| Houses, almost unanimously cyuccd n dis
position TO ignore the subj ct for the pres
! ent Even those who agree with tie Pres
! ident say tina il would be uuwise to open

resolutions will he passed to that effect.

! spiracy in Maine to steal the Republican

| At first the cons spirators alleged bribery and
corruption as the motive Tor grabbing The

some libel suits, they hunted up irregular.
itiCs in the returns. But again, when the
Republicans claimed the right to inspect
these Irregularities they lodged behind
their own assertion that the law under
which such inspection has been allowed
heretofore is unconstitutional And so this
serions farce goes on to disgust honest Dem
ocrats here and TO assure us that if we are
not strong enough TO beat them, they will
commit suicide. fzEo

ing handsome appropriation from Con-
gress for that purpose. Cass, Miami, Wa
