Mr., q. R. S~rEvENs-Dear Sir: My little daughter
Stella has been afflicted q long time with scrofuls,
suffering everything. I employed different physi-

Everyone is laughing just now at his ap-

Hazen has been seeking as quite accord

there is nothing in Hazen's re-

does not know anything at all
about the duties of the signal Office, and
is not qualified to learn anything about
them, and does not purpose to bother
himself with them. He will enjoy the
society of Washington, with the rank and
pay of general. He is coward in bat

Shiloh. He admits thathe knows nothing
Of the service to which he is promoted
And yet the very day Mr.. Hayes sent
his name in, he also sent to Congress hi:

A Striking Likeness.

We used to have Il painting hanging
over the judicial seat, in the old court
house, representing Justice in the form
OF 4 blindfolded female holding suspend
ell Il pair of scales; and of that figure
our beloved Judge Patterson ever re-
minds us. TObe sure he is not Il female :;
but that difference is trifing. We have
heard repeatedly from himself that he is
an impartial administrator of justice,
and under the pains and penalties which
his honor essays to put upon those who
doubt this declaration, we accept it
with cheerful alacrity. We do not know
whether any one will dispute that the
judge sees iarkly enough to satisfy
this element in the likeness to tie figure
in the oil painting. If any one steps
forward for that purpose we will 60
along with him to the commissioners
Office, where this picture, we believe, now
hangs, and we will discuss the question
between us while standing beneath it
and gazing upon the lovely feature
of the amiable female countenance, that
appear without the folds of the blindir 6
handkerchief. 1t would, perhaps, be
more satisfactory to have this discussion
under the benignant light of our virtu-
Gus judges own pilysiOgnomy /; but we are
not at liberty to make an appointment
i'm his presence and to tell the truth it
might he an unsatisfactory one in which
to discuss the matter, in view of tie
fearful effect upon the Judge of clial-
lenge of his judicial! impartiality; it
would not he at all safe fOf our doubling
friend to dispute with lis before him as
to his blindness.
That, then, we will accept rs conced-
ed fact; and so we have very striking
resemblance of the dear judge to the
figure of Justice, with its fair face and
delicate features and bandaged eyes.
There is IA striking difference, though, in
the voice. Pleased rs we are to say de-
lightful things Of the judge, we can't
compliment his sweet vociferation. Ben
Davis thinks it is as the sound of the
Bull of Bashan and Ben ought to know
because he sat down under it very sud-
denly. The music of the Presbyterian
organ loft has even been stilled by it
and the young blood of the congregation
chills ut the sound. The painted Justice
speaks not, and our judge would
resemble it more il he spoke less. But
just as he is we have him, and are thank
full fol-. him; fOr without him what would
life he and Justice?

They Cannot Do 1t.

How constitutionally impossible it is
for some people to perform as they prom
ise. Listening to their fair words it is
impossible to believe that they do not
mean them. 1t cannot be that all these
afflicted people know that they are lying.
They must think that they are meaning
what they say and the fact that they really
do not must Ike owing to some strange
omission in, their mental equipment,
which make it impossible for them to
look into their minds to find what they
really do think. We must adopt some
theory of this kind to relieve us from the
belief that these numerous fellow crea-
tures, who are found in all classes of
society and not fewest among the most
apparently consistent church members,
are not the vilest liars in existence.

THURSDAY EVENING. DEC. Q, 1890.
What They. Call Reform.


Some of our esteemed contemporaries
appear to be alarmed by the loud de-
mands of the so-called civil service re-
formers for fxity of tenure in the federal
Offices. We assure them there is no
cause for immediate anxiety in that di-
rection. The men who make the agita-
tion are without power and have little
influence. The politicians who pretend
to listen to them with respect are
utterly insincere and never stand for an
instant Oh their theory when the spoils
are to he distributed.
To cite Hayes in illustration is, we
admit, hardly fair. He was fraud
from the beginning, and was bound by
the very law of his political creation to
be a fraud in all things to the end. But
of Carl Schurz, who put the stuff on this
subject into Hayes letter of acceptance,
consistency might have been expected.
1t might also have been supposed that
Mr.. Evarts could continue for a few
days together i'm an attitude which he
had deliberately taken and extensively
advertised. To these two was consigned
the duty of framing civil service rules on
the reform plan for the fraudulent ad-
ministration but nothing came of it.
They abandoned the whole business, and
the scrambles for Office under Hayes have
been rs shameful rs ever, and the bull
DOING and blackmailing of subordinate
Office holders have been worse, while the
active participation in politics of Hayes
and his cabinet has been. i'm view of
their Pecksniliian professions, quite dis
gnsting.
Garfield also affected profound sympa-
thy with the high-fOwn views of the re-
formers and gratilied them greatly by
writing magazine article in their favor,
for which in return he received their
praise for the {: scholarship and - cul-
ture' which he brought Tito politics.
But, having been nominated for the
presidency, he Immediately threw all of
that overheard, and even entered into
special contract with the machine bosses
to distribute the spoils not only on their
system, but through them.
There is no serious prospect Of the es'
tablishment of a permanent official class
in this country while our present institu.
tions continue. 4 revolution which would
make the head of the government perm
anent would end in assimilating to his
the tenures of his one hundred thousand
subOrlinates. But until Gen. Grant has
been reelected to Il third term, we shall
be slow to predict any such disastrous
conclusion of our republican expert.
ment. The people of the United States
will never of their own accord, and will
their eyes open to the facts, establish al
aristocracy of any kind. Meanwhile the
reform that is wanted is the enforce
men. of the laws to prevent the plumber
ing of our public servants to recruit par
tisan corruption funds, and forcing then
to give to party the time and energie:
which belong to the public.
