ATTITUDE OF THE ADMINISTRATION.

From every part Of the country there comes to

ton Of the pre,.-withoui regard to party
mendatons Of the Presidents views In relation 10
important legislation for the relief Of super
abundant treasury surplus, rs we'll rs for his We've
upon Civil Service Reform. The late message IL
indeed commended generally for Straightforward
and honest ut,eranees Of opinions and sentiments
that strike us as somewhat strong 90 after an
exciting canvass which resulted In the most eOm-
pIete and stunning demand from the people for
revenue and Civil Service Reform. Il can be ae-
counted for only upon the complete conviction on
the part Of the leaders Of both the prOminen, par
ties that the voice Of the people was not simply
the voice Of mere party, but was the voice Of
deep and earnest conviction, coming up from the
great masses Of patriotic and liberty.loving peo'
pie TO their servants, from the Executive heal of
the Government down to the very lowest re'pon-
sible bidder Of federal office. President Arthur.
In his message to Congress, has come forward
manfully and promptly in advocacy Of both re-
forms, and in simple, strong and common-sense
terms urges Congress to delay no longer the en-
ae,ment Of such laws will insure the relief de-
manded. The same can be said Of Secretary OF
the Treasurer Folger who. in a mastery grasp Of
the whole subeet Of revenue reform. sets forth to
Congress the necessity as well a. the manner In
which the reform should be accomplished. Mr.
Kelly, chairman Of the Committee Of Ways and
Means, has already reported BILL which We trust
will NEE, with no mere party opposition but be
promptly passed. reducing internal revenue taxa
ton TO the extent Of over s7j.OOo.ooO. This will
doubtless be followed by other aud no, less im-
por,ant measures that will reform such portions

THE COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT.

In view Of the resent fires in the Belt. and Of
the poor execution Of the engines employed a,
them, it /. natural to inquire Of whA, use is our
county Ere department. The citizens Of that part
Of the county adjacen, TO the city have no, forgot
ten the volunteer Ere comp panes, organized in their
midst and composed Of the very bes, members Of
the community. They remember. too. with pride
the active and successful part they took in sxtn-
gushing fires that occurred in their immediate
neighborhoods. Butthey were not allowed TO exist.
