An Honest and Efficient Civil Service.

Nothing can more strongly illustrate
the claim which the Republican party
has upon the just confidence of the people
than the record of the honesty and the
efficiency of the Republican party in nd.
ministering the financial trusts of the
nation. Perfect civil service is when Off
Gals faithfully perform their duties, and
when they do not peculate or pervert Il
penny from the treasury which legiti-
mately belongs to government.
The results of the past three years are
showing I'M honesty and IN efficiency in
our civil service which are rendering il
superior to that of any other nation.
The fact that, in the receipts of hundreds
Of millions, not one cent has been
diverted from the treasury, is record
us proud as the great victories at Apo,
mattox and Gettysburg.
Every voter should examine carefully
this all-important question, for the peO'
pie have now the opportunity Of cOmpar.
ing the official records of defalcations
and perversions for the past forty years.
Anil, under the administration of Hayes
and Sherman, our civil officials are pre-.
senting to the world an example of integ.
rity and fidelity in public trusts, which
more than ever establishes our title to
the noble appellation of "the great M
tion."
In recent treasury circular the most striking
feature IL the unique record of the present al.
minlstratOn. In its receipts from all sources, in
Guiding those from customs, internal revenue
direct tax, public lands, miscellaneous, dlvi
dcnds. interest, premiums and receipts from
loans and treasury notes, the present admins
tration mp to the present time has not lost ont
single cent. For the disbursements the tota
loss was $2.G76.Sl, of which that involved IL
postofiice accounts, when collects and disbuise,
its own revenue, was II, 1880. Not Il cent wa'
lost in war, navy, pension and Indian disburSe
ments and in all other miscellaneous disburse
ments, including these on account of the public
debt and interest, premiums, and oil civil ex
penses and exclusive of the postoiiice, the los,
amounted to $l,3S3.91. The ratio of loss
therefore, il M eight mills to $1,000.
As an example of the comparative
business methods of Democratic and Re
publican administrations, the following
table of the ratio of losses will be inter
esting:

Rest Better Than Physlc.
From the whitehall Review.I

Rest would cure half the accidents that
horses receive, but people will not give
it them because it costs money. A pet
horse of mine had very bad sprain con-
sequent upon groom's disobedience;
his leg was almost as useless Us if it
were broken; he was seen by many vet
erinaries and pronounced incurably in
jured. was advised to sell him or kill
him. I did neither. l had his plates
taken off, put him into the largest loose
box have-one eighteen feet by thirteen
feet-with straw up to his knees, and
then gave him no treatment except cold
water bandages, kept him doing nothing
for year, gently walking him aboutthe
paths of my woods when it was fine
weather. He recovered entirely after
twelve months rest, and now he is ready
to Jump over the moon, and the only
hard task is to make him not gallop.
