The message will be found in this pa
per, and no doubt some of our readers
will look it over, Mr.. Hayes, like many
other people, talks better than he does.
His theory of civil service reform is
beautiful to read about, bututterly damn
ed in the enforcement.
We do not see that he explains the in
crease of the Public Debt; nor have we
noticed that Secretary John Sherman
accounts for it, as be should do. The
great trouble with the Hayes admins
tration is, that it will go down to poster
ity, throughout all time, with fraud bran
ded on its forehead. There is no escape
therefrom. There it is!
Gath, writing from Washington, in
the Enquirer, says:
Hayes has been President like the old
Celestial Emperor of Japan, concealed
from the world. His wife, who is beau
tiful and spirited woman, has also with
drawn herself for the last year or more,
and the National Administration of the
country has been small private family,
obscured from description and contact
The instincts of Hayes have always
been of a respectable nature; but there
is nothing so weak as responsibility with
out individuality. Mr.. Lincoln could
violate every propriety, and yet nation
kneeled around his grave. Mr.. Hayes
has never violated single propriety but
he will go out ofoffice with scant worship

The State Board of Equalization met
in the Senate Chamber at Columbus, and
was called to order by State Auditor Og-
levee. The Board stands nineteen Dem
ocrats to eighteen Republicans, and Og.
levee, a member ex odicio, also Repub-
lican. The Democrats claimed Oglevee
was no member until after the body was
organized. The Republicans claimed he
was full member as any other. After
filibustering two or three hours, the
Democrats chose Mr.. Hinman of Column
bus temporary chairman, who took a
seat beside Oglevee, each being recogni-
zed by his political friends. Confusion
and excitement followed, catcalls and
noises being in order. A compromise
was finally made, by which the Demo
Gratis get the chairman and a fair share of
the officers. After completing the or
ganization, the body will adjourn week
or so till returns have been received from
all the counties Of the state, several not
yet having been heard from.

REAL CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

REAL CIVIL SERVICE HEFORM'
Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden's views on civil
service reform are that two evils affect
the official service of the Federal Gov
ernment:
One is the prevailing and demoraliz-
ing notion that the public service exists,
not for the business and benefit of the
people, but for the interest of the office
holders, who are in truth but the ser"
wants of the people. Under the intiu-
ence of this pernicious error, public en-
ployments have been multiplied; the
number of those gathered into the ranks
of oficehoders have been steadily in.
creasing beyond any possible require
ments of the public business, while inef.
6ciency, peCulation, fraud, and malver-
sation of the public funds, from the
high places of public power to the low
est have overspread the whole service
like lepresy.
lu6 WuUl6 OWL 10 JuO OIBhulNablOh Va
the official class into body of political
mercenaries, governing the Caucuses
and debating the nominations of their
own party, and attempting to carry the
elections of the people by undue iDfuen'
Ces and immense corruption funds, sys-
tematically collected from the salaries Of
officeholders. The official class in other
countries, sometimes by its own weight,
and sometimes in alliance with the army
has been able to rule the unorganized
masses, even under universal suffrage.
Here it has already grown into gigar-
tic power, capable Of sitting the inspira.
tions of sound public opinion, and OF
resisting an easy change Of administra-
tion, until misgovernment becomes in
tolerable, and public spirit mas been
stung to the pitch of civic revolution.
The first step in reform is the eleVa'
tion of the standard by which the ap'
pointing power selects agents to execute
official trusts, Next in importance is q
conscientious fidelity in the exercise of
tie authority to hold to account and re-
move unworthy or incapable subordi-
mates The public interest in an honest,
skiIlful performance of official trust must
not be sacrificed to the usufruct Of in
Cumbents.
