Congressman Peele, of Indiana, who is candidate for re election, comes out strongly in favor of Civil Service Reform and says: As Republican, adhering strongly to the principles of that party from my boyhood, endeavored to study the question with refer ence to the benefit to be derived by my party, but say to you frankly that I have been compelled to abandon that line of study and look upon it as great economic question, as it affects fifty millions of people rather than one hundred thousand who hold office. There is not man in Congress to day who has an ambition to place upon the statute some law for his country's good but that would be glad to be freed from the control of all pat ronage. It is the rock upon which more public men have been wrecked than by their course public measures. The amount of time consumed in looking after patronage is very considerable, and always at the expense of public business. In my humble judgment no reform in the civil service is likely to be successfully effected until the question has been made controlling issue in D Presiden- tial campaign, and men elected with refer- ence thereto

LAW AND P LITICS IN NEW YORK.
 MT. Rogers, the president of the New York State Bar association, does not think the condition of he legal profession in New York is what it ought to be, and he draws a depressing picture of the connection between law and politics. The judgeships are he says, distributed more and more every year as spells. If you want to know who is likely to fill vacancy on the bench "you do wisely not to inquire of the lawyers who lead the bar, but turn to the local political man. agers and the boys who do the hard work of the caucuses and conventions" eff among these you find one especially active and facile, and can learn that he xejoices in the distinction of being an attorney and counselor, so that when he votes in the con- vention he has, pa5nsa tiacie, the appearance of casting the vote of lawyer, to him you may be confidently recommended as able to give an intelligent answer to your inquiry touching the personnel of the new judge ', It isl these active legal "boys," of whom there is a sprinkling in every convention, who dic- tate the judicial nominations, and it is inev- itable that their work should be of very poor order. They will not nominate distin- guished lawyers as such; they nominate men who are not too far above their own legal level. Mir. Rogers says that if Marshall, Kent or Story were today living in Republican district, and were known as Democrats, they could not be elected to the Supreme court.
 The condition of affairs so forcibly de- seribed by MT. Rogers shows the evil effects of the system of electing judges which pre- vails in New York. AS the New York Euen- ing Post says: Until judicial nominations can be taken out of the hands of the legal 'boys' who the machinery of the nomina- ting conventions, the causes which produce the present low condition of the bar will still be in active operation. The bench must be elevated if the bar is to regain it's old stand ing. Of course judges must be appointed through some sort of political machinery ,and the old system of appointment was better than the new, mainly because tho machinery was better. Election means virtually appoint ment by the Mikes and Toms and 'Bobs' who run conventions, with the advice and consent of the political lawyers described by governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate"
 A governor may be poor one, and he may appoint poor judges, but there is abundant evidence to show that as rule better judges are secured where they are appointed by the governor than where they arc nominated by political caucus. Nothing is more irresponsi- ble than such caucus, and the bench is the last thing it should be allowed to meddle uif

The Pension Office came in for the largest share
of the new clerks, over four hundred having al
ready been appointed, with probably three hum
dred more to follow. This large force, added TO
the seven hundred already in this Bureau, will
prove very efficient under the discipline of the
able Commissioner in accomplishing the great
work contemplated by their employment. Dur
ing the session just closed Congress appropriated
Sl00,000,000 for the payment of PENSIONS princi-
pally to the Union soldiers of the late war or 10
the widows and parents of such as have died. In
addition a sum sufficient to secure the proper ad
in all the vast sum of nearly Sl20,000O00. II was
represented in Congress that at the rate claims
were being closed up 1t would take several years
to get through the large number of several hun.
dred thousand awaiting consideration, and
in the meantime very many of those
intended 10 be benefited would die
and never receive the compensation they are
justly entitled TO from the government. 1t was to
secure greater expedition and give the MANNED
and diseased soldiers chance to enjoy their PEN
sions that the large appropriation was made.
diers have mainly to thank Commissioner Dudley,
their comrade in arms, himself MANNED and full
of sympathy for their condition. 1t may be true
that the plan of larger force and appropriation
might have been conceived before Colonel Dudley
came into office, but 1t is TO his earnest and able
