About the best thing which the Chicago

fitness for the post of speaker of the House,
Is that he hiss a good voice and powerful

The publisher of the Chicago Inter
Ocean is DESTROYS of securing the collector
ship of the Custom House there. This
may account for some of the admirable
qualities which the Inter Ocean is constant
ly seeing in Gen Arthur.
The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-12-08

Arthur says the appointment for fed,
eral office should be governed by the ascer-
tanned fitness of the candidates. how did
he ascertain the fitness of readjuster Stras
HON who was placed in a postoffice in
Virginia during the last state campaign
1t must have been by the same rule that
inspired him in so many other appoints
merits in that state during the same
period. 5.e sass - ~
| The only question as to fitness taken in
to consideration was whether they could
aid the regulators and republicans in
carrying the state, and judging from their
success their fitness can be said to be as
certained. i :
To hear Arthur, the leading machine
politician of the country, a man who owes
his present position to the machine and
Guiteau's pistol, talk about civil service
reform is indeed amusing; the more SO as
no one, not even himself, is deceived by
these utterances for moment, If presi
dent Arthur desires to inaugurate any
| schemes of civil service reform, his is the
opportunity to do it, and he
needs no aid from legislation
| in the matter; if he does not,
as his actions thus far would Indicate, he
had best leave the subject alone, as talking
about it without acting no makes him
ridiculous. There is only one thing in our
government which is productive of more
shame to us as people, more danger to
the permanance of our institutions, and
more injury to the honesty of our. officials
than our present system of appointing civil
| servants 1t is disgrace to the country,
and threatens dangerous consequences
But in order to remove it, more than leg
islation is needed, orselse legislative so
radical that it.shall take entirely away from
| the executive the appointing power. 1t
lays with Chester A. Arthur to establish
civil service reform if he desires, and no
such reform can well be inaugurated unless
he takes the initiative. Let him once set
the example in the appointments which he
may make, and the necessary legislation
viii soon follow. aEiz
He treated the subject in his message in
as general terms as he well could. He re-
ferred to the evils of the present system in
as vague terms as possible, and instead of
suggesting remedies contented himself
in picking flaws In those already suggested
by others, and wound up with u eulogy on
the present officials which could be construed
into defense of the present system. 1t
is easy enough to find fault with any rem
edy suggested but when we have system
with not one atom of good in it. and every
detail bad, most any change would be for
the better, none would be for the worse.

There is one thing to be said about the

mo, Jsmes, You WON'T

A gentleman from New York. who:
spent q week At Mentor sitter Garfield
was nominated, tells 3 little incident To-
illustrate the differences between Gar
field and his wife. Il WAS on the 4th OF.
July. 1 think. when Garfield. who hal
bought q pair of new carriage horses.
only half broken. started 20 drive bis
wife and another lady and my iuformanll
a In the surrounding country. Two
rowdy fellows. knowing who Garfield
was, got in the middle Of the road
before him. and whenever he under;
took to pass would trot their horses
hard and make his young horses rear
up and plunge They did this pur-
posely for the space of two or three
miles. My friend was then attracted
by something in the grip of Garfield,
and as he looked around into his face
the General said: Now / will take a
wheel OFF, He said 1t in a very low
voice, which he thought his wife did
not hear, and his blood was up. and
with his heavier wheels no could have
carried out his purpose easily. just
then Mrs. Garfield leaned forward and
said in q quiet voice: mo. James. YOU
won'tr' Yes, l WILL" said he. She
put her hand upon his arm and said:
mo, James. you won'tr' MY friend
q ' that under that touch Garfield
seemed arrested. and in a moment he
turned into a by-road and saw the
fellows no more

and finally they found the hunters en-
ioying themselves, and utterly obliy-
ious of . Ute war. They had not seen
eyen . sign of an Indian, For his faith
ful ~deliyeranoe Gen. Tyner has been
prfoundly grateful Postmaster Hay-
ford has enjoyed the bounty Of Tyner's
Dost-ofieisl generosity ;Biekford q Rush
secured the contract to carry the mails
from Laramie City to Tyner p~ostofice,
and 1t is said that other members OF
the hunting party have been rewarded.
Gov. Hoyt. however. seems to have re-
ceiyed no favor from Gen. Tyner- 4
Those who are so busily engaged In
exposing Gen. Tyner's peculi ar methods
should remember that he once made .
narrow escape from an Indian massacre.
He didn't know 1t ut the time; the
danger never confronted him; but be
passed through it, just the same. And
what is more natural. in a gentleman OF
gratitude, than To reward those who &C
companied him on his p~erilous adyen-
tureP They may not have saved him
