REPUBLICAN SUCCESS IN ITS RELA-
 TION TO THE CIVIL SERVICE.
 No abler, calmer and more convincing po- litical speeches have been made in this cam paipn than those of Secretary Schurz, and his speech at New York Tuesday evening was grand one. His explanation of the present political situation was, think, the right one. As he said, the regular forces of neither party have of late been sure to constitute a majority of the American people. Between them there is mass of citizens who are not controlled by party discipline, and who now appear to be moved to greater activity than usual by motives different from the old party questions 'sIt has turned out that this is the campaign not of the politicians, but of the business men of the country, and that the decisive motive power is not party passion or prejudice, but common sense applied to pub lie interests. There has been great deal of quiet thinking during this campaign, in counting rooms, in workshops, on railroads, on farms. The questions have been earnest ly considered. Is not the present state of things satisfactory and hopeful? Are we not prosperous, and is not greater prosperity in prospect we dcG WlSe1y 1S nOt Gue uattoH- al Government now conducted, on the whole, honestly, inteligently and efficiently? Is it advisable under these circumstances to put all this in jeopardy by change? These questions have been considered quietly and conscientiously by thousands of business men and laborers, without distinction of party, by many who so far had taken but very little ac- tive part in politics. The answer was given at the polls in Indiana and Ohio. It was Let well enough alone :"
 But that part of the Secretary's speech to which we wish to call special attention is his statement concerning the manner in which the public service is likely to be conducted by the Republican party during the next four years. After promising that the general tendency is so strongly and SO evidently in the direction of indepen- dent politics that the Republican party in 1884 will have to pass the scrutiny of the in- dependent citizen still more vigorously than now; for then the experience of the admin l istration which has had the approval and confidence of the country will be applied, not as the highest, but rather as the lowest, standard of merit, he said

Some weeks ago statement was published
 to the effect that during the year 1879 the
 total increase in savings bank deposits in Ire
 land was $7 ,O86, ,945, the largest increase in
 any one year on record. This increase was
 declared to be largely in counties where the
 famine relief fund had been most widely dis
 tributed. The inference to be drawn was
 that the suffering was exaggerated, the con- tributions obtained under false pretenses and put into the bank instead of spent to relieve the assumed great want. MT. James Red
 path, who writes from Dublin, explains the
 fact of increased deposits in a more satis- factory way. In the first place, he says, the
 Irish peasantry have very little confidence in savings banks, the chief reason being that
 in years past whenever 8 peasant to have
 fortune" for his daughter put pound or two in the bank somehow" as the phrase is, the landlord or the agent heard of it and
 his rent was raised. The increase in deposits did not come from the small farmers, but
 the shop-keepers, the pawnbrokers and the ''gombeen men" Tor petty money lenders) and instead of indicating prosperity it shove
 that every business interest was depressed.
 The harvest of 1879-8O the third suc-
 cessive bad harvest the peat crop was not saved, the fisheries failed, the kelp industr y
 was ruined, there was an epidemic among pigs and cattle, potatoes were blighted and
 oats also, and American competition and the
 bad crops in Great Britain deprived them of | their usual means of paying the rent-the good wages which they had earned for gen. erations as harvesters across the channel
 'sThey paid their rent the first year, but did not pay the shop-keepers; they were obliged to borrow from the gombeen men to pay their rent the second year but shop-keepers and gombeen men both shut down on credit and loans as soon as it was known that the harvest of 1879-80 would be a failure. During these two years the people have pawned every thing that could be pledged. Shop-keepers
 ceased to buy, gombeen men to loan on SC
 curities and pawnbrokers on personal effects. To earn something they put their money in the savings bank, where small rate of in | terest is allowed. Trade was dead. That is the reason, and the sole reason, for the in | crease of deposits in the distressful country"

Ex-Attorney General E. Redwood Hoar, a brother of Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, in a letter answering a request of Harvard students that he would address them on po- litical questions, gives them this advice :: "While think every man should take side in politics, he need not and ought not, to be so much of partisan as to forbear to de- nounce and disavow unworthy methods and corrupt men wherever found. In making a choice between the political parties which now divide the country, my advice to young man would be to ally himself with that which seemed to his best judgment the party of hope and progress party of the future. While neither is free from disreputable ele- ments, or escape from adverse criticism, he should look to see which has for the great body of its supporters the greater number of those who believe in equality before the law, popular education, good morals and social progress. Having made this choice, he will have an ample field for constant activity and watchfulness in trying to keep his party up to it's own standard of professions and pur- poses"

 A gentleman who lives in this city has just returned from journey through several of the Southern States, and reports great gloom as prevailing among the Southern Democrats The Northern Democrats feel no better.
 The personal attacks made on Mayor Bige- low will not be advantageous to those who make them or the party in whose interest they are made. His record of uprightness, benevolence and friendliness will only shine the brighter from the attempts to blacken it.
