JACKSoNI4N CITH SERVICE Reform.

JACKSONI4N CITIL SERVICE REFORM
1t gives us great pleasure to notice that all
the Democratic platforms of the period contain
a declaration on the sdbject of civil service
reform. Some Of the declarations are eX-
tremcly radical and demand IA complete sever
ance of politics from the civil service. Others,
like the one drafted by the gifted Mr. Hen
bricks IN Indiana, demand only so much reform
lis will be necessary to turn out all Republican
officials and put Democrats in their places. All
are agreed, however, in denouncing the
"spoilsh system and in demanding its over
throw. THIS lauCahle sentiment Is usually
accOmpan. ed by declaration that the glorious
Democracy renews its allegiance to the prln-
ciples of Jefferson and Jackson. We presume
that many Democrats have forgotten the fact
that ST. jackson was really the founder of the
"spoils system in national politics, or they
would not mix matters in this confusing way
For the purpose Of refreshing their memories
we propose TO reproduce "A lew remarks upon
Jackson's services in corruptlng politics made
by that eminent and far seeing Democratic
statesman John G. Calhoun. In 1881, speak
ing on the removal of the Bank deposits, Mr..
Calhoun SAID
Can he Secretary Tancy be Ignorant that TIE whole
power Of the Government has been perverted into a
great political machine, with view Of corruptng ana
controlling country Can he be ignorant that the
avowed and open policy Of the Government Is TO re-
ward political friends and punish political enemiesi
with money viii get partisans. with parsisana votes
and with votes money. is the maxim Of public pill
ferers.
Here we have not only careful definition Of
machine politics, rs the term is understood at
the present day, but the worry term itself. The
whole power of the Government had been per-
verified into great political machine by tho

the EXPOSURE of frauds by the last admlnlstra-
tiou. How is it that, Notwithstanding this saw
ing the expenditures must be increased over
three millions ? Is it not in part because the
same members of Congress whose recommend
ations continually. helped the Star Route ring
have sought to accomplish similar results
through legislation Or is 1t not because
many new routes have been established,
where the service cannot at present be proht-
able ? For the last quarter, the service had
become self-sustaining i'll consequence or the
exposure of frauds the question Is whether IL
will be self-sustaining with appropriations
So, 600, 900 in excess of those Of last year maze
before the frauds were detected.
. For the water supply of the City of Wash
ington $1,485,279" was voted. The object
is a necessary and proper one, but the people
will ask whether Congress which passed
all the river and harbor jobs took all neediul
precautions to prevent jobbery and waste IN
this expenditure SO the large increase in the
Land Office, while it may be entirely justitiable'
might also cover much waste. Does not Mr.
Allison see that the expenditure OF
$116O0O,O00 for pensions and SlS'ooo'ooo
for rivers and harbors will powerfully lnnu-
ence the judgment of the people with regard
to other matters which are not so well uhuer-
stood Following such votes as these, others
will need very careful and thorough explana-
ton. The great fact in the matter is that
Republican Congress has voted away
ST., 100000 more than the last Democratic
Congress, and of this increase $47,7OO,OOO Tor
pensions and $7,O0O,O00 for rivers and mar
hors ore knovn tn he tainted with fraud. 1t is
a sorry record for Republicans to present.

immortal Jackson himself who thus stands
revealed as the author of the "spoils system
and the inventor of machine politics. 1t is
clear, therefore, that when the Democrats
clanor for return to the principles of jack
son they mean simply: "Gve us a machine
of our own" Nobody has the least doubt that
that is precisely what they are seeking when
they talk ABOUT reforming the civil service.
Mr. Calhoun, with that marvellous foresight
which enabled him to see so clearly the ire
pressible conflict which was destined to arise
on the slavery question: was able to discern far
in ad vance also the evils which this newly es-
tablished system of Jackson would bring upon
the country In a speech delivered in Feb
ruary, 1885, he made this remarkable declar-
alton:
When it comes to be understood that politics are
game that those who engaged In it but act part
that they make this that profession not from honest
conviction intent fulfil them, but the means
Of deuding the people, and through that delusion TO
acquire power-wben such professions are TO be en-
tirely forgotten, the people will lose all confidence IN
public men all viii be regarded jugglers, the
honest and the patriotic well the cunning and the
prohgate; aud the people will become indifferent and
passive to the grossest abuses of power the ground
that those whom they may elevate, under whatever
ample OF those whom they have expelled.
That predicts with startling precision the
exact condition Of affairs to which the most ex
IRENE opponents of the "spoils system de-
clare our politics have been reduced. All the
evils which that system has caused are trace
able directly to the Democratic party and their
sainted Jackson. We are not sure but that the
Democrats revere his memory more for this
invention than for any other reason. Certain
it is that if they were to return to power they
would resume where he left Oft. We feel as
sured that there is no man in this country in
full possession of his intellectual faculties who
believes tor moment that civil service reform
can ever be accomplished through the Dem
ocratic party Their resolutions on the SUSPECT
deceive nobody, and are about the most worth
less part of current campaign literature.

strong force of police to match Sullivan, Will

The Democratic statesmen ut Saratoga are still
struggling with the difficult problem of how to Sc
cure harmony with John Kelly and Tammany in
the party and success with them ont of it. That
will puzzle even the State Senators in caucus as
scmbled.
"Tammany Hall will not be recognized before
the State Convention says Mr.. Maurice Power,
oracle of the County Democracy. " Won't it :"
asks Mr. John Kelly, the voice of Tammany. But
how about after the election
The Hope, which is searching in the Barentz Sea
for Leigh Smith, the intrepid Arctic explorer, had
anchored in one of the southern harbOrs of Noyaia
Zemlia as early as July o. This was not far from
the bay where the Austrian crew were picked up
after their march across the ice from Franz Josef
Land and if a similar retreat has been made from
the Ezra the rescuers are in the quarter where the
missing likely to appear Intelligence has
been received that the Ezra was seen by a Russian
vessel late in July last year off the southwest coast
of Novaa Zemlia. This must have been fifteen or
twenty DAYS alters was sighted by the Norwegian
walrus hunter. She had, therefore, been headed off
for "a whole month by the ice pack. which forms
barrier between Spitzbergen aud Novala Zemlia
The inference that she either found an opening III
about 80 north latitude and passed through it to
Franz Josef Land, or that she was caught in the
ice and dritted northward. The Hope Is probably
following the edge of the pack and watching every
lane and lead which she passes. To reach Franz
Josef Land would be a most hazardous undertake
ing unless the condition of the ice Is exceptionally
favorable and il is not likely that the relief ship
will make the venture. The Hope is assisted in the
search by the Kara. a small yacht. We have not
heard that the north coast of Spitzbergen has yet
been visited by either vessel. and that is quarter
to which a re reat would have been directed if the
ice-bound Ezra had drfted west of Franz Josef
Land. The Swedish Arctic colony is, however, to
be stationed there before the season closes.
Mayor Grace says he really thinks the Democrats
can succeed without Tammany Hall, but he does
not quote his 5000 majority on union ticket in
support of his views A denomination of Mayor
Grace as a way to test the question would be highly
agreeable to John Kelly and accept able to the Re
publcans.
