policy which has been advocated in
Presidents messages and depart
mont reports Tor several years, and
recomme nds the legislation necessary
to give it general effect. But the
most interesting parts of the message
are unquesticnably those which refer
to our foreign relations, TO cur fnan-
cial policy, and TO the civil service.
Upon the subject Of civil service
reform the President has evidently
bestowed much consideration. He
recognizes the existence of great
evils IN the now prevailing system,
and the necessity OF a reform. He
points out IN the clear and forcible
language OF his letter of acceptance
to what objects that reform should
be diree' ed. Original appointments
should be based upon ascertained
fitness; the tenure of Office should
be stable positions of responsible
ity should, so far as practicable, be
filled by the promotion Of worthy
and efficient officers" AZ to the
method by which Fitness is to be
ascertained, President Arthur admits
that the system of competitive exam
nations as carried on in Great Brit
ain has produced very satisfactory
results but he adds that it is cou-
pied there with certain features, snch
as life tenure, limitation of the
maximum age at which an applicant
can enter the service, and a system
of pensions, which would not be re-
ceiyed with favor in this country.
Admitting this for arguments sake,
then the fact would still remain-a
fact which is also recognized by the
Presldent-that competitive exami-
nations have been carried on with
excellent results also i'll this country,
as in the New York custom house
and other places, without being
coupled with such features, and the
President gives no reason why they
should not be continued and extends
ed over largerpart OF the service
in the shape already tested. The
! problem is to put system Of ap-
pointment based upon ascertained
merit in the place Of q system OF
appointment by favor. While the
President acknowledges the necessi-
| ty of this, and expresses at the same
time some doubt as to competitive
examinations, he does not suggest
any other method which he considers
more practicable. But he promises
his concurrence and faithful support
if Congress should pass law estab-
fishing competitive tests, which, IN
der the circumstances, is al that
could have been expected. The
Presidents utterances on the civil
service are not only valuable for the
suggestions they contain, but as
sure sign that this subject has taken
I too firm q hold upon the attention of
the American people to be dismissed
with mere unmeaniDg phrases.
/ On the whole it may be said that
President Arthur message deserves,
and il we may judge from the ex-
pressions of opinion we have seen
has had, a respectful and even hearty
reception from the American people

THE PRESS on THE MESSAGE.

The first message of Pres dent
Arthur is very careful and well-ma-
tured document. It's tone is more
frank and dire ct than is customary
in such papers, and its recommends :
tons, extensive and varied as they
are. show that the President has
patiently reviewed the field Of labor
so recently and so Unexpectedly
opened before him, and
that he is not inclined to shirk the
constitutional duty OF aiding Con
gress by his suggestions and advice.
The President enters at
length upon the question Of re.
form OF the civil service, and the

A DENIORALIZED STATESMAN.

ELsEwHKRE we publish an interview
had by reporter of the New York
Tribune with Hon. J. j. c. Atkins,
Representative in Congress from the
Sth district of Tennessee, some OF
the statements Of which will attract
attention. Mr.. Atkins may be re
garded as the leading Democrat III
Congress from Tennessee. He served
during the last Congress as chair
man of the committee On appropria
tions, the most important OF the
House committees. save one-that OF
ways and means. He is gentleman
of acknowledged ability, and has al
ways stood high in his party. He is
n gentleman of education, having
graduated from the University
of Tennessee. He has had large in
fuence in public affairs, and what he
says is entitled to much more weight
than what is said by the average
politician. .,
This being true, his utteranees on
the State debt question will be re-
ceived with establishment. He is in
favor of repeating the law passed at
the last session of the Legislature
for the settlement of the State debt,
and Why Is it because he believed
the law is wrong7 1t cannot be
that, for he says he has hitherto
stood for maintaining the faith and
credit of the State and paying every
dollar she owes. He virtually
acknowledges the validity of
the debt, for he says he
is willing to pay so per cent. of
the principle and 4 per cent. interest.
II it is an illegal debt, certainly he
would not favor paying any part of
it. If we believed the debt to be IL
legal we would vote against paying
o dollar of it.
But what reason does he give =?
Hear tall We people, who have look
ed upon Congressman Atkins as a
great man and a statesman. Why,
he says, the readjusters having sue
ceeded in Virginia the State credit
Democrats in Tennessee are "sadly
demoralized and therefore he is in
clined to support the 50-4 PROPOSE
ton, proposition which
was voted down by the people
only short time ago by an over
whelmiug majority, He says the
Republicans of Tennessee will OPP
pose any such proposition, and a
great many State credit Democrats
will vote with them, and appears 10
think the Democrats will be beaten
as usual Well, we must think
Congressman Atkins is himself fear
fully demoralized. When aman who
aspires to the rank of craftsmanship
gives so fimsy reason for changing
his views oniso important a question,
it argues q state of dem oralizaiion
truly pitiable. Because the readiust-
ers succeeded in Virginia, he will
turn readiuster himself. Because
his party is demoralized OH ques-
tion which its leaders have been say
ing for more than ten years that they
were going to settle, and have not
settled yet, he consents to be de.
moralized himself And as, accord
ing to his view, his party is on the
run like drove of frightened Texas
cattle, he will run with the others,
notwithstanding he admits that they
are doomed to land in political per-
dition.

. Witty Answer Turnesh
Away BOres.

The mar who travels on the rail-
road and sits down by the side of
lone females while laboring under
the impression that he recognizes a
likeness in their face to his wife's
aunt's cousin, met his match on one
of the roads in this vicinity lately.
He sat down in the half of a seat the
other half being occupied by a pleas
ant faced young lady. His first
question was:
"Pardon me, miss, but is your
name James z | have a cousin of
that name whom you greatly resem-
ble."
"No, sir" was the reply, my
name is not James. But, pardon
me, is your name Zinc or Copper 2"
Zinc Or Copper : No, ma'am,"
said the astonished man. "But par
don me, what led you to suppose that
| had such names ?"
Excuse me- was the quiet reply,
"but l thought you must be first
cousin to a brass foundry"
The man fell over two seats and
kicked a bird cage half way down
the car in his haste to get into the
smoker, while the young lady smiled
q gentle smile behind her handker-
chief. 1t vas a proof of the old ad-
age, that a witty answer turneth
away bores.

One day one called on the other hap

was seated at the table enjoying his

She lived in Boston, in Strengthened

What an Old HOusekeeper
has Learned.
Germantown Telegraph.

"Never too old to learn,'' and
here are a few of the things we have
learned at Jul house:
That if we wish to prolong our
lives we should always put one day
between washing and ironing.
That people who chew plenty Of
good beef and eschew pork are SEN
Sible.
That a tough piece Of beefste ak
may be made eatable by mincing it
pretty fine with a chopping knife
and cooking quickly in a pot with a
close cover, TO prevent the steam
from escaping.
That salt pork will be as nice and
nearly as fresh, if soaked in sweet
milk and water, equal parts.
That clabbered milk is better than
water for freshening salt fish.
That hale a cup Of vinegar in the
water will make an old fowl cook
nearly as quick as a young one, and
does not injure the flavor in the
least.
That liver should be thrown into
boiling water after being sliced thin
and then fried in lard or dripping.
That pie crust will not be soggy
if it is brushed over with the white
of an egg before the fruit is put it.
That a piece of cork is better than
cloth in applying brick to knives.
That ripe cucumbers make a good
sweet pickle.
That apples which take a long
while to bake should have a little
water in the pan.
