and thinking of God and the security
of the Government in that hour. As

Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1880-07-21

GENERAL GARFIELD does rot seem
to have pet scheme for Civil Ser
vice Reform. President Hayes may
have been right in his views on
Civil Service, but, considering that
Senators and Congressman wish
to deal largely in the control of
minor Office, or Offices to be filled
within their respective districts,
such views as the President express
ed could not easily be put into prac-
tice. The plans of the President
can never be carried into effect til
Senators and Congressman change
their views, and Senators and Cor
gressmen will never change their
views Until the people express them
selves CT the question. There is
nothing IN Mr. Garfeld's letter OF
acceptance to indicate that he pro
poses to become a missionary against
Senators and Congressnen to reform
Civil Service. He plainly hints that
it is the people in the several dis
tricts that are to blame for the bad
appointments; that the President
cannot know the men who are recon-
mended to him excepting as they be
urged through Congressman, and
other men vino go TO Washington to
have their friends appointed. There
are many unworthy men in the ser
vice of the Government. They should
al be put out on the incoming of a
new administration, and people of
the respective districts should see to
it that no unworthy men are nader
handedly worked into the service.
There is little encouragement to bat
tie for a party-for the principles of
q party-when its Offices, after the
victory has been won, is to be filed
lhy men who are lacking in every
thing that constitutes good citizen
ship. General Garfield plainly init
mates that the people of the respec-
tive districts should see 10 the ap-
pointment of good men, which would
prevent the scandal that arises from
bad appointments.

The Pride of the Germans.

Who is Ita Nobody else but James
A. Garfield, our next President, be-
cause he is German. The .4dUerfiser
of the west writes the following geneal-
ogy: /" Garfield's grandfather, John
James Garfield, was the son of gro
cery merchant IN Zimmern, Hesse
Darmstadt. He learned under his fa-
ther the mercantile business; served
two years as dragon in the army; be
came travelling merchant, as such once
be came to see him I; here in hotel he
made the acquaintance of the young
and beautiful daughter of his host,
whose name was Elsehein Bloese. To
see and love her was one, and the con-
sequence was he led her TO the altar.
A brother of ElseheIn's mother, Charles
Nagel, blacksmith, had already emf
grated to America. He induced the
young couple to follow him, which they
did, and arrived March %, 1897, in
New York. They made their home ON
a farm near the Erie canal. Here the
father of our mex. President was born,
who received the same name as bis
father. In the 22d year of his age he
married Maria Magdalena Hempt, from
Dieburg, Hesse Darmstadt. Therefore
is Genera. Garfield true German Hesse
Darmstadt child. The gentleman, Ma
gel, living in Carrondelet street and the
United States census officer from the
jackson avenue (St. Louis) district tes-
ti6es to this statement being true"
A true Hesse Darmstadt child shall
become the President of our Republic |!
If that does not awaken every German
from the northern boundary TO the Mex
i:an line into enthusiasm, We do not
know what else shall.
