GOING BACKWARDS.

President Garfield disappointed the re-
form clement in the country by what he
said concerning civil service reform in his
letter of acceptance and his inaugural ad
dress. 1t was apprehended that he had no
strong convictions on the subject, and that
he would make no serious fight for it,
though some particularly sanguine people
imagined that he might have intended to
avoid the shocking example Of his prede-
cessor, and that he was after all merely
afraid of promising more than he could per-
form. Bat it is now being said that under
his Administration the little that had been
accomplished in the direction of reform is
being rapidly swept away, and that espe-
cially in the Interior Department there has
been what amounts to complete abandon
ment of the improvements introduced by
Mr.. Schurz. The New York Times says
The one department which under
Mr.. Hayes was distinguished for
its thorough application of the
principles of sound administration,
" has been turned over to the
politicians. The new Secretary OF the
"Interior seems to have re-cstablished the
"most ruiGous, wasteiul and dcmoralizing
methods of the old system. He has
abandoned the competitive examinations,
"and the examinations which he has
ostensibly substituted for them are in
fact farcical. New and incompetent
"men are put in over the heals of men of
tried and proved capacity, often at
higher salaries. The maipspring of
"discipliae and efficiency namely, the
certainty that merit and merit only
would secure adyancement-is broken.
"The best men among the subordinates
"are naturally disguised and discouraged.
This IS very bad hearing, but unfortu-
nately it is in accord with nearly all that
has come from Washington OF late The
indications are that the new Administra-
ton has determined not merely to do less
than Mr.. Hayes did in the direction OF
reform, but actually to revive and re-
establish " machine methods everywhere
This is an ominous commencement

TIE FLOW OF IMMIGRATION.

The flow of immigration from Europe is
this year stronger than ever. a great and
general agitation is evidently breaking up
the masses in England, Germany, Ireland
and the scandinavian countries, and they
are pouring across the ocean in constantly
increasing numbers. The present immi
grafton, moreover, appears to be OF Pc
culisrly healthy kind. 1t is not one of
paupers and broken down people, but of
families possessing means. In its purely
economic aspects there can be no doubt
that it is matter for congratplation. The
great stream represents enormous new
capital, new industrial energy, new pro.
ductive power. There is still ample room
on the continent for all who may come,
and all who come must contribute to the
building up OF the wealth and prosperity
OF the republic. Bat there is another
point of view from which this great immi-
grafton is not so satisfactory. For if it
means fresh capital and productive capac-
ity, it also means an accession to
the political ignorance OF the country, and
fresh food for demagogues and mischievous
agitators. The scores of thousands of
foreigners now pouring into the seaports
will in short time be transformed nom.
inally into American citizens They will
thus possess, man for man, as much polit-
ical power as native.born citizens but
they will not and cannot possess the

same knowledge of American politics.
They will be called upon to vote on great
and far-reaching questions Their sutfrages
will be sought by adroit and unscrupulous
politicians, who will fatter them by APP
pealiDg to their prejudices, and by ex-
alting their ignorance as knowledge. 1t
is not possible that such votes can be in.
diligently cast. Experience shows that
they are as likely as not to be cast in oppo-
sition to principles the maintenance of
which is vitality necessary. The greater the
immigration, however, the larger the per
cent. OF political ignorance which has to be
encountered. 1t is because of the constant
Notification OF this ignorance by fresh i'm
portations that the work of political reform
is so difficult in this country. 1t is be-
cause OF this political ignorance that at
brief intervals it becomes necessary to go
over familiar ground again, and to redis-
cuss and readjust questions which IN other
and more stable communities are met and
dealt with once for all. And if, as appears
possible, the European immigration is to
increase still more, and the new blood is
to be poured into the country's veins more
rapidly and continuously than ever, it will
have to be considered seriously whether
the old loose system of making citizens
can be retained without grave danger to
the republic, and whether it is not neces.
ssry. as measure of self defense, to with
hold political power from these new corners
until they have lived long enough with us
to understand our institutions and our pol
tiles generally.

TRIAL OF SOCIALISTS. On February
llth in Vienna,there began a jury trial OF
fourteen Socialist artisans indicted for hav-
ing smuggled revolutionary pamphlets and
papers in bamboo canes, and it included
the FTeiheit, the organ of the Social Demo-
Gratis in London, and other seditious publ
cations. One publication arrived on the
tiftieth birthday of the Emperor, and con-
tanned offensive insults, while every num-
Der of the Frehed breaches the upsetting
OF all social aud political order as the only
means of saving the working class. The
accused pleaded not guilty The Public
Prosecutor proposed to exclude the public
from the proceedings with view to public
order. This, although opposed by the
counsel for defense, was accepted by the
Court with certain restrictions. Each of
the accused was to appoint three persons
who were to be present, besides the re.
porters of the newspapers, who, however,
were asked to refrain from noting down the
various incidents of the trial. Among those
who were chosen by the accused to be
present were all the four Democratic men,
bers Of the Reichsrath.
