When the competitive system shall be
adopted, in not only the Treasury Depart
ment, but in every other department of the
Government, the first step in 1.-THE right direction
toward securing honest and capable sub
ordinates will have been taken. II we re-
member rightly Mr.. Hayes set out in his ad-
ministration with an expressed determine
ton 10 inaueurate a reform in the Civil ser
vice based upon competitive examinations of
applicants tor subordinate positions in the
several departments of the Government, but
in view Of the fact that be himself held his
Office by virtue of one of the greatest frauds
ever perpetrated upon the American people,
his desire for purity in the Civil service
looked SO ridiculous!y inconsistent with his
accepting an Office to which lie could claim
no moral right, that he was completely
laughed out of his proposed measure and
yielded to the army Of cormorants around
him. Though Civil service reform has been
the shibboleth of the Republican parry be-
fore elections, and has, more than once,
passed it into the inner sanctuary of power,
it has cut but a sorry figure in fulfilling its
promises. Still it is not too late to do good,
aud the people who have become sick and
tired Of reading the numerous chapters of
swinoiing in high places, with which the his
tory of the Republican party is so replete,
will hail with pleasure The com pletion OF the
pan OF reform contemplated by the iRar-
tyred President. If the competitive system
were inaugurated it is quite possible it would
found that Montana could furnish & suili-
cieht At;nber of capable and honest men to
tie Federal Offices in the Territory which
are now supplied By Eastern iinporlations.

REPoRTo OF MR.. HENRY GEORGE.

short time ago to report upon affairs there,
telegraphs from Dublin to the Ir7sh World
under date of the 2Sth inst. the following /:
" Arrests continue, The Land League has
| ceased to hold public demonstrations, but
continues. to meet privately in chapels and in
private houses. The prisoners are allowed
one visit a day, but that is hard TO obtain, SIS
only two interviewer's cages are used, which
make the conditions awkward and studi-
ously hLmiliating. Two barricades separate
the visitor from the suspect, one warder
stands behind the prisoners and another be-
fore, catching every word and cycling every
move. All alluslon to matters political are
strictly prohibited. Waiting visitors are
compelled to stand outside the jail exposed to
all sorts of weather. Even ladies are kept
vainly waiting son their feet all day III the
rain. All letters addressed to the prisoners
are closely read. Ladies of the Land League
are working with wonderful industry, and
foreign coercion by craven councils nea"
home whoever speaks OF war, that is burning
in millions o:slIish hearts, is struck down by
the mailed hand. Whoever, openly or COW
ertly, bids the people desert the cause to
which they have pledged their lives and l,on~
or before the world is petted for his treason
and glorifed foG his cowallic e. Under these
circums' ances, a journal which has no apti-
tude for apo55acy, can continue to exist only
by ceasing to express any opinion at all, and
by csntining itself TO collecting bare fact
concerning the great struggle which s now
only commencing. During the reign of ter
rOr the United Ireland will be conducted on
this principle. 1t will be a perpetual re-
minder that, let bayonets be shaken il our
face, and let some of those whom We counted

will yet triumph. Dur gaze turns from ttro-

apathy among our trans Atlantic brethren
means death. Now or never one glorious

The Philadelphia Telegraph, a Republican
journal, has d few remarks to make on John
Sherman's recent action in the Senate, which
is not at all complimentary to that Senator.
This is what it says Senator John Sher-
man perpetrated a bad blunder yesterday in
TACT, he perpetTated two. Some days ago
Mr.. Sherman offered a resolution calling for
the report Of the commission of Treasury
officials appointed by Secretary Window to
investigate certain matters relating to the
conduct Ct Custodian Pitney. Mr.. Sherman
claimed that it had been charged that til re
port reflected upon him, and that he was on
titled to such vindicatien as could be had
through the medium OF a public considera
ton of the document by the Senate-his
theory being that it is not such an impeacll-
ment Of his integrity as has been charged or
inti1sated. Yesterday Mr.. Sherman called
up this resolution, and an objection being
made that the matter was not one that, in its
present shape, properly came under the SEN
ate's purview, he contended that the Senate
could and should take notice of it. for the
reason that it involved the integrity
OF a Senator. So far, so good
at least IS tar as appearances went,
But a motion Oh the Democratic side to have
the motion for the report amended so as to
call for all the documents in the case-that is
10 say, for the investigation upon which the
report was baseO-was ~strenuouSly opposed
by NJ. Sherman, who was backed by a NUM-
Der Of the Republican Senators on the
ground that it was understood, Or supposed,
that the testimony was entirely ex parte, was
not given "uder oath, was largely maze up
of rulnors and insinuations and was conse-
qucnt!y worthless: and also OH the ground
that an alleged investigation by Treasury
clerks was something that the Senate could
not properly lake cogDizance of. That is to
say, the report was a pr- per subject tor the
Senate to consider, but the testimony ON
which it was based was not; the report Was
OF value to parti $ supposed to he under Sis
picion Of wrong-doins, while the testimony
was worthless. " it'll the aid of Senator Da-
vid Davis the resolution was adopted by the
Senate i'll tie shape desired by Mi. Sherman,
but what lie and his party associates in the
Senate expect TO gain by their proceeding it
is very difficult tie understand"
