THE Cincinnati Commercial says !:

ave were expecting an outburst of civil
service reform from the direction of Massa-
chusetts, and 1t came from Senator Dawes,
who tells how the bofrid ofhce.seekcrs OPP
press the members of Congress. The Sena.
tor gives many pathetic Instances of the
suffering of the members, but he does not
furnish n list of those who desire to be re
lieved from the terrible toll inflicted upon
them by the evil system"
That's precisely the point we made yes
terday in these valuable columns. Except
perhaps, in point Of size, the heart of DAVE
is very much like the heart of every othel
true patriot who bleeds for his country at ;
compensation of $1,000 a year; and, lik'
nine-tenths of his truly loyal colleagues il
Congress- our friend Dawes should feel pro
foundly grateful that he is even importan
enough to be annoyed.

AS A GOOD MANAGER the city Of Balti-
more must take the cake, or wear the belt
whichever she prefers as most becoming.
She some time ago appropriated two millions
for the erection of a city hall, and when the
building was satisfactorily completed the
commission had $780, 900 of the fund uncx-
pended on their hands. Four years ago
four millions wero voted for the construc-
tion of the Gunpowder Water Works, and
the lob is now admirably finished with q
remaining surplus of $4,000. Albany,
Philadelphia and other cities, both far and
near, might modestly take lesson from
this thrifty example.

New ORLEANS declares itself terr0rizcd
by the "howling hoodlums." This wild
and errant savage is described as sort Of
twin brother to the hero of the San Fran
cisco sand lots. Impellod by the absolute
necessity of self-defcnse, the citizens are
proposing tho establishment Of a committee
of public safety, not to hang the hoodlums
by verdict of Judge Lynch, but to bring
the recreant office holders to sense Of theil
neglected duties, and to convince them, by
vigorous means, of the fact that the condi'
tion of the city is due to thcircriminal neg

M. DE IlrssEps while providing means
for all the rest of the world to go travelling,
has also solved the question Of convenience
for himself The most important matter
in the consideration of personal comfort is
to reduce the amount Of baggage to the
lowest possible quantity. The great tourist
has settled this for himself at two suits, one
for evening dress and second as change
in case of getting wet. He adds flannel
underclothing, socks and handkerchief
Shirts can be purchased anywhere and
thrown away when soiled. Tho great bless
ing of having nothing to wear gives him
the power of enjoying that still greater
blessing-the exquisite luxury Of cnfran'
chisement from the attendance of either a
valet or courier.

condition precedent TO his millennium. But
the fact that it does not, aud that there is
nothing in tho signs of the times to indicate
that it ever will, starcs us in the face.
The condition of our Civil Service may
be an ill. But if it Is 30, it must be ac-
ccptcd and put UP with AS one of the un-
avoidablc minor evils which we have
to bear with in order to retain
our hold upon the grand boon
of our universal liberty and absolute
popular self government AS we remarked
yesterday you can't shut the door of aspira-
tion and possible preferment to single
American citizen without thereby begin
ming to quench and smother the spirit of
individual equality and personal inde-
pendence which aninates our whole gov
ernmental structure. You can't hedge
a single office about with "rules and
regulations" calculated to impede the
normal efforts of any citizen who wants
that Office to get it, without to that extent
making the agency Of the Government
superior to the Sovereignty of the people.
"The Government is nothing but an
agency. The Sovereign is the people. "The
people " arc the millions of American citi-
zens, every individual Of whom has the
inalienable right of the stockholder to
aspire to be a director Of the grand associa-
tion which makes up our Republic. We
have no patience with the cranks and doc
trinaires who spend their time invcnting
political patent medicines to cure
an alleged disease Of the body poll
tic, which, after all, is nothing more OF
less than boil upon the surface, denoting
general health and vigorous processes OF
nature.
The mistake that the able editor of the
Republican makes is that Of not completing
his argument. He "presupposcs certain
condition of society, and then prescribes
certain style of government for it. Whereas,
if society could be reduced to those millen-
NAL conditions, no government of any de-
scription would be required. The thing
would run itself. II would be a perpetual
motion of politics.

THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS has had its
portrait drawn in most uncomplimentary
but emphatic colors by the New Orleans
Times. The journal declares that metropo-
lis of the South to be the most misgov-
erned, the most hoodwinked, the most
belSnaved and bebummered of cities, and
completes the sketch by picturing it as a
huge, fat carcass, stretching beneath the
July sun while it is preyed upon by greedy,
croaking buzzards that tear away the flesh
and fight among themselves for the spoil.

The ENGLISH would like to make pink
ginghams the fashion, but the fat, pink
hued matrons will wear them, and make
themselves and the fabric theme fol
laughter. Pink is an essentially juvenile
tint; it can hardly be made to last beyond
sweet sixteen, and proves the direst failure
when assumed as rcjuvenating tonic fol
later years. just about one woman in every
hundred thousand can wear the tint be
comingly, and it ought to be secured to hei
as q snecial perquisite.

What the Two Erie Ea1t-Fretght Lines
Nui ITO After L;n. i.


1t is generally known that some time ago Van
derbi1t gave notice that, on and after Jan. i,
1852, the Erie s. North Shore Disputch and tho
Snuth Shore Line, two Erie 1ast-fretght tines
that have been running III connection with the
Michigan Central uud Like Shore s; Michigan
Southern Ruilronds, would no longer be per-
mittett to run over his routls. 1t Is also known
that the Eric has given notice that these Two
freight lines would not be discontinued after
Jan..l but would tiud outlets over non-Vander-
bilt roudS. There has beeu much speculation
since that time as to the arrangement. which
would be rnado to give those fuss- freight lines
different Western outlets. rs fur lis tho Erie l.
Nortn Shore, which now runs over the
Micnlgnn Central. is concerned, 1t was
believed that it would ind an outlet
Detroit. und thence over the 1Enbnsh uuL balti
more s. Oni', by way Of Auburn. tnd.. to chi
cHyO but 1t seems that the arrangements said
to hnve luteiy heen made between Vanderbilt
ullO the Greut Western spoiled this plan, and it
is nov stated that tEs Eric s: North Share will.
after JAM !. run over the Erie to Sulauancu.
thelce over the New York. Pennsylvania & Ohio
F"rt Wayne j. Chicagu to Chicago. This Il wnat
is gencralty known rs the Erie s. Chicago Line,
over which through }'assensGr-tIslins have been
successfully run during the last few years.
N,nhin1 has us YET been learned In resHrd to an
ouret for the South Shore Line It. is probable
that this line will not run through to Chicago
until the complet1un of the Chicago l. Atlnntic
Mnrion, O.. and Chicago. This rtad will be con-
pleted during next summer, when 1t will afford
MI excellent Chicago outlet to the South Shore
fasr-freiEht line.
