CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

If some of the machinery now re-
CURED as a prerequisite for appoint
ments to Office were dispensed with,
and if appointees to Office were allowed
to hold for fixed terms, including good
behavior, our civil service would not
be surpassed by that of any country
in the world. Of course, honesty, in
tegrity and capability must be the re-
CURED standard to entitle to an ap-
pOintment. The charge 50 often made
that the holders of Office under
Government appointment are guilty of
dishonesties and petty stealings has
but little foundation in fact.
In answer to a resolution of Con-
gress, statement was compiled from
the records of the Departments, show
ing the losses in collecting and disburs-
ing the revenues of the Government,
under different administrations, The
following is taken from the official
statement: Prior to 1861, when the
Republican party came into power, the
average loss by defalcation in collect
ing the revenues of the country was
$3.50 on every $1,000, and in disburs-
ing the public money the average loss
by defalcation was $5.17 on every
$1,000. Under Franklin Pierce the
loss by defalcation in collecting the
revenues was 1902 on every $1,000;
under James Buchanan 1902. 1t fell
to $1.91 under Abraham Lincoln, rose
to 5000 under the Democratic admin.
istration of Andrew Johnson, fell
again to 1924 under President Grant.
and to one cent on the thousand dollars
under President Hayes" The forego-
ing statement applies to the seven great
Governmental Departments at Wash
ingtOn.

OHIO ELECTION.

The Democratic triumph in Ohio
surprises no one who has watched the
political situation in that state. The
Democrats have elected the state ticket
by a large majority, and have made a
gain on members of Congress. The
agitation of the prohibitory question
alarmed the liquor men, who betook
themselves to the Democratic party
for protection, and were welcomed
with open arms. Large numbers of
Germans, who heretofore voted the
Republican ticket, went over to the
Democrats, and made common cause
against the Republicans. The loss of
members of Congress is a National
calamity, but the election of the Dem
ocratic state ticket is of less conse-
quence. The result in Ohio should not
alarm our Republican friends; it by no
means fOreShadOws a Democratic vic
tory in the next Presidential election.
Home issues like those in Ohio are
not lasting, and matters will assume
a different phase by another year.

Some of our Republican friends sug-
gest that the charge against Mr.. Will
liams, in respect to the alledged occur
renee at Bay View, should have had
the benefit Of the denial Of Ex.-Gov.
Smith and Henry Payne. Copies of
the letters of Elk. Gov. Smith and Mr..
Payne are now before us, and, without
publishing them entire, it is sufficient
to say, that both of these gentlemen
were with Mr.. Williams at Bay View
at the time he is charged of being in a
liquor establishment, and that the
story of his drinking Intoxicating
liquors is absolutely false. AS the
Bay View story has been told to the
people of some of the country towns
in this county who did not hear the
personal denial of Mr.. Williams at a
public meeting in this city, the forego-
ing facts are given.

WONDERFUL EXTENSION OF
RAILROADS.

Railroad enterprises in the United
States, during the past two years, have
been almost marvellous. Large regions
of country, hitherto almost unknown,
have been penetrated by railways, and
their natural resources brought into
public notice. The latest achievement
is the extension Of a railway to the
city of Chihuahua, the capital Of one of
the largest provinces in Mexico. There
Is now continuous railway from Chi
cago to Chihuahua, a distance of 1900
miles. In year or two more the re-
mainder of the distance, $50 miles, will
be completed to Mexico, the capital of
ell the states of that country. Less
than half a century ago journey to
Mexico was regarded perilous; a yoy-
agea round the world was less an I'M
dertaking than to Mexico.
1t is within the memory of many
when the existence of the city of Mex
leo was almost mythical. The old
biographies described the city as envi-
rOned with beautiful lakes, on the
bosom of whose crystal waters were
constructed floating gardens planted
with eyer-blossoming trees and flow
ers. There was also described the
magnificent palaces of the Montezu-
mas, the stupendous temples and
amphitheatres, the massively con-
structed aqueducts, and other grand
structures, all of which were read with
wonderOus curiosity. The modern
traveller who now visits Mexico looks
in vain for these monuments of art,
once supposed to exist, and is forced to
the conclusion that they were mostly
the fabulous stories of bygone ages.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

As far as learned, the Republican
nominations for county officers are CIV
ing general satisfaction. The nomi-
mating convention, it is conceded, was
composed of delegates of responsibility,
and the proceedings were honestly and
fairly conducted. In accordance with
party usages, it is the duty of every
voter who processes to be a Republi-
can to support the ticket entire. Pri-
vate grievances or prejudices have no
right to interfere with a voters adher-
ence to the principles of his party. If
the decisions of conventions, to which
the claims of candidates are submitted,
have no binding force, then political
organizations are of no particular ac-
count. To be consistent Republican
is to take good care of his record, and
not step out of the ranks for mere per-
sonal considerations. Consistency of
political action, by the Republicans of
the county, will triumphantly elect
the ticket entire.

WHO STEALS?

A loud noise is raised about the
great steal of the River and Harbor
bill. Now, when property is stolen
some one is presumed to have gotten
it wrongfully, without giving an equiv
alent. If there was steal in the
River and Harbor bill, will some one
inform the people who got the money?
Members of Congress could not have
gotten any of it, for the money was in
the National Treasury, where no one
had authority to draw dollar out, ex-
cept in pursuance Of law. The Board
of Engineers could not pocket any OF
the money, for they are required to
account to the War Department in an
itemized statement for every dollar re-
ceived and expended. No contractor
for furnishing materials for River and
Harbor improvements can have a valid
contract unless approved by Govern
ment Engineers, nor can any money be
expended on any work without the
consent of the proper officer of the
government. In view of theserequire-

Winter is coming, and the long even
ings will soon be here. What is the
outlook for the future months? Will
our young men be content with simply
routine of dramatic entertainments,
minstrelsy melodies, or other amuse-
ments devoid of intellectual profit ?
Or is there public sentiment that as
pires to something nobler and more
educating? While amusements have
their proper place, and may be inno-
cent, these alone can never lay the
foundation of true character, an in
telligent citizenship, and the higher
moral and political duties of life.
There are in this city and county great
numbers of young men, who are enter
ing upon business activities, in the
various occupations; they need bet
ter fitting than can be learned from
popular amusements, or the current
light literature of the day. Doubtless
many of these young men will at no
distant period come before the people
for positions of trust and responsible
ity. If not now, the day is rapidly
approaching when men of a wide
breadth of thought, and an intimate
acquaintance with the current events
of the age, will be invited to the front
rank for preferment.
Why rot then organize some associa-
ton or combination, for the exercise
of talent and intellectual improve
ment? Various plans might be sug-
gested, each having the same end in
view. The field is wide, and the young
men to occupy it are at hand; all that
is wanting is disposition for action,
to achieve good results. What is
most needed are leaders. All successful
enterprises must have those who are
willing to go forward. What is posi-
BILE for the city to accomplish in the
direction indicated is also true of
towns in the country.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1882-10-13

ments for the disposal of the money,
where does the alleged steal come in?
Who does or can get dollar unlawful
ly or wrongfully of the moneys ap-
propriated for rivers and harbors?
To say that the engineers may allow
the expenditure of money on improve
ments of no general utility does not
prove steal. Whatever may be the
merit of the Improvement, no money
can be paid out unless for actual SER
vices rendered and approved by the
War Department. Will some fault
finder furnish the people with a logical
chapter on River and Harbor steals?

Hon. P. V. Deuster, present member
of Congress from the Milwaukee dis
trict, has been re-nominated by the
Democratic convention. Only one
plank was adopted in the platform of
the party, which is opposition to all
sUnptuorg laws. The word "sump-
tuary" in these later days has become
a favorite word in whiskey and beer
conventions, and is now understood to
mean no interference with liquor
drinking. So it seems the Democracy
of Milwaukee cling to the liquor plank
to the ignoring of all other national
issues in Congressional election. It
has been suggested that a handsome
device, to be placed at the heading of
the ticket, would be an eagle perched
on q beer key.

SALEM,

The rain on Sunday was altogether
grateful, and the morrow cleared off
bright and pleasant.
The weather the past week was as
fine as farmers could desire for doing
their fall work. Many fields of corn
are seen standing in the shock, and
threshing is pretty well done up. The
yield compares favorably with that of
other towns in the county. though
rather below the expectations. In dig
ging potatoes the fact is discovered
here as elsewhere in the county that
they are considerably damaged by the
rot. Apples are being gathered, which
are moderately plenty, but not very
good, consequently many of them will
find their way to the cider mill. But
at this time, when prohibition and
abstinence are agitating the minds of
the people, it is encouraging to suppose
that cider will not be used as profusely
as heretofore as beverage.

The Convention which nominated
John Winans, the Democratic candi-
date for Congress of this district, de-
nounced the bill for liquor furnished
at the funeral of President Garfield.
This was all proper enough, if the con-
vention had not foully charged Con-
gresham Williams with voting for the
bill. If the convention had cared to
be true to history we believe it might
have been stated the liquor was pur-
chased on account of the government
by John G. Thompson, the Democratic
Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Rep
resentatives, and now Chairman of the
Democratic State Committee of Ohio.
