PERHAPS no President-electeve had
such great amount of advice given
him, with regard to the construction
Of his Cabinet, as has Gen. Garfield.
That he has patiently listened to all
this advice, sifted it thoroughly, prom
ised nothing, and obeyed the dictates
Of his own Judgment in the premises,
shows that those who regard him as a
great man are not deceived.

MANY very good men thought that
when President Hayes undertook to in
troduce his much-vaunted Civil Ser
vice Reform in the various Depart
ments, that new era was dawning for
the management of the machinery of
Government. We were not. We
knew that a President of the United
States could not change the natures of
millions Of men in the space Of four
years-or of four life-times. Presi-
dent Hayes himself shortly abandoned
the idea, and even went to the opposite
extreme of removing the best officers,
whenever some friends wanted their
places. 1t is greatly to his credit that
he has generally appointed good men,
and the business affairs Of the Gov
ernment have been honestly conduct
ed. One Of the latest removals is that
Of Collector Wheeler of North Carroll
ma. He was the choice of the Repub-
licans Of North Carolina, was thor
oughly efficient officer, and his office
was ranked among the very first in the
grade at headquarters. Yet he was
unceremoniously ousted. These freaks
Of the President has given rise to the
saying, among. Washington CORE
spondents, that Civil Service Reform
means that Faithful officer shall hold
his Office until his place is wanted for
somebody else. But there is something
gained after all. The business has
been we'll conducted, and we have per-
haps heard the last Of the gable
about Civil Service Reform.

WHAT has become of that orthodox compendium
the Portsmouth Blade? 1t has not appeared at this
Office for two weeks. We in tears.-GdliipotiS
Journal.
The Blade went back on us one
week. 1t is very popular here. Some
time ago it stated that the wife of one
of our citizens had run off with an
other man. Then it stated that Wash
Gilliland, Of Mabee's Corners, this
county, had got drunk, drove his wag-
on furiously against woman who was
on horseback, and caused her to be
thrown. Then it stated that some
young woman Of Jackson had gone to
Portsmouth with one Of our promi-
nent citizens, and had acted badly, and
there would be big lawsuit, &c.
There was not one word Of truth in
any of these stories.

DR.. A; P. MILLER, formerly of this city. and later
of Toledo. has been appointed Business Manager of
the New York Tribune. We might venture to remark
that the Doctor is an an Ohio man.
We take the above from one of the
Columbus papers.
We became acquainted with DIR.
Miller nearly twenty-five years ago.
He was at that time owner and editor
of the Chillicothe Gazette. In July
1868, Morgan's rebel army captured
him near this place, as he was with
the Chillicothe militia pursuing the
rebels. He told in his paper how the
rebels compelled him to draw water
from we'll for their horses, near
where the Infrmary is now located.
1t was hot day-July II, 1868, and
it made him sweat, but he had to grin
and bear it.

THE Cincinnati Gazette of last Fri

THE Cincinnati Gazette of last Fri
day had the following puff of itself:
CONFIDENCE IN THE GAZETTE.
Madison (Ind.) Courier.
The Cincinnati GAZETTE is a paper which enjoys
ounr e ao
Of society Its voice has always been heard
advocacy principles and calculated to ell
paper of clear judgment and close observation.
The same number of the Gazette had
an editorial Of column and a half,
sneering at the temperance people of
Ohio, and earnestly arguing in favor
Of the liquor men. In that editorial
is this:
s.fsa FsGr to the of 1850 drink shops
1t is hardly necessary to say that
there is not one word of truth In that
assertion. Any one could sell whisky
who desired to do so, without paying
cent Of tax; but he could not sell In
less quantity than quart, nor could
he permit it to be drunk in the room
where sold. He could get license
from the Court of Common Pleas to
sell by the drink, but he must prove
by two witnesses that he was a man
of good moral character, was prepared
to keep a tavern, and that tavern
was necessary at the place where he
wa. located.
But the Gazette will never correct
tina: ms statement; it never does that
kind Of work.

THIS idea of 'squatter sovereignty

This idea of ''squatter sovereignty"
in the temperance cause is a humbug.
1t is similar to the old pro-slavery
scheme of a quarter of a century ago.
It was then held that the crime of
slavery could be voted either up or
down, as a majority of the settlers
might determine. Local option is
based upon the same false idea.

The great mistake in the liquor law
passed in 1854, was in excepting beer
from its operation as to regarding
places where liquors are sold, as nui-
sances. Beer has made more drunk
ards in the past thirty years than all
other drinks did in the preceding one
hundred years. The increase is fright
full. The Columbus Statesman, ashort
time ago, said:
j The consumption of malt liquor In this country has
increased over 100 per cent. in ten years. During
$780, the RetatLer the of the brewers taxes
paid on 1a,374000 barrels 4l4,000000 gallons
This is equivalent to about 150 mugs for every man,
woman and child in the country Leaving out the fe
males and children this vast quantity represents 60
glasses for each male q wears old in the
United States. When we consider the very large
numbers Of adult males who drink no beer at all and
he other host who partake Of it only in the most mod
crate and AZ more or less protracted
great DEAL At FIVE cents 1 glass this beer manuiac-
lure Of 1850 brought 000 about 81 80 per cap
