THE PLUMIN OHIO pOLITICs.

The most attractive plum III Ohio pol
tiles lust now, seems To be the l. =.
SCnatorShip. Two years hence Senator
PENDLETON'S term in the Senate will
expire. 1t has been an outside under
standing Of the programme over there,
that FOSTER should succeed PENDLE-
TON, provided, of course, the Republic
cans should have the Legislature ut that
time. FOSTER, it will be remembered,
was candidate to succeed GARFIELD,
upOn the latters accession TO the PreSi-
dency, but rs JOIN SHERMAN'S occu-
patton had left him about that
time, FOSTER kindly consented to
stand aside and let SHERMAN step into
GARFIELD'S shoes. This, it is believed,
was brought about by the agreement
that FOSTER should secure the next Sch
atorial plum, and would have SHER-
MANS favor, friends and strategy TO
bring it about. But already, it is al
legged, SHERMAN is showing signs of i'll
fidelity. His home organ, the Mans
field H,TU8, creates Il sensation by
coming out fiat-fOOtcd for KEIFER as
PENDLETON'S successor, and from this
il is confidently inferred that such as
Sistance as SHERMAN'S cunning hand
and willy tongue can give, will be
worked rom now onward in KEIFER's
interest. This phase of the situation

AMONG the nations the United States
has by far the largest mileage of rail-
roads in proportion to population.
Sweden comes next and the British en-
pire third. Great Britain sends the
largest proportion of letters and postal
cards, the United States next and
Switzerland third. Switzerland is the
most liberal in the Use of the telegraph.
Belgium has the largest mileage of, rail-
roads in proportion to area. The inn
provement Of means of travel, transport
tation and ntercommunication has been
marked by an extraordinary increase in
the tendency ofpopulation towards great
commercial centres. There are various
opinions as to whether this is healthy
tendency or not, but those impelled by
it will never be content till they have
tried il, and contentment is what al
are after.

REFERRING CIVIL SERVICE Re.
FORM TO THE PEOPLE.

Probably the most effective, If not the
only. remedy for the evils of our civil
service system is to he found in limiting
the amounting power of high officials
and transferring the right of selecting
subordinate officers to the people.
Civil service reforms are all tending III ~
this direction at present. And whlle II
does not promise complete solution OF
the difficulties, and would, in many
cases not give us any better officers tnah
now, nor less contest over elections, the
pIan would give better satisfaction pc
cause it would abridge the power OF the
In line with this policy Senator
VOORHEES, proposes an amendment 10
the Constitution of the United States
making all Postmasterships, Revenue
collectors, Judges, Marshals, and U. ,.
District Attorneys elective by the peo-
pie. His proposed amendment Is u
follows: ,,.r,o,-
WAlI Postmasters, Revenue Collec,,
tors. Judges, Marshals and IhiSeu
States District Attorneys Tor the Us Us,
! trict Courts of the United States, snall
he elected by the people OF the states III
which their duties are 10 be performed;
ond tLev shall he elected i'll such man
Snr a. The Legislatures Of the States
shall provide By law. ,, ..oo,,o .
,o,t Of RI organic law, it would, OF
aroursn AXE the great bulk of the Fed
e,oI ,Stronage out of the hands OF TIT
Pr. sident and Congress, and lodge 1t oil,
.ectly with the people from whom all
power in this country is supposed to
emCnate.
TOmakeallthe officers elective would
not eliminate wireworking and manlp'
ulating from our political system, but II
would relieve the President Of much
care and responsibility, and transfer the
fight over appointments from Washing
ton To the localities which are the most
interested, and give all Il chance to eX'
press a choice.
However, the prospect Of the adoption
of an amendment OfsO sweeping char
actcr is not tlattering. 1t would be de-
Driving Congressman of too much pat
ronage, and while il would relieve them
| of much responsibility, and often trans
fer a disaSrceablC contest from their own
10 other shoulders, still it would TAXI
from them q source of power ut home
and at Washington which would render
their official standing of much less sig
nificance than now. The plan, how
ever involves the principle to which
| the best thought of the country Is now
| turning for the practical abolition OF the
| evils that atflict our civil service system
