WHAT must he done, II the Republican party In
Pennsylvania is TO rcguin the lola which il once
had on the confidence Of the people Of that State,
5 / lake Federal Offices out OF politics altogether
-Ne,0 York Times
Yes, and why not take all Offices "out
of politics altogether ?"-State as well as
Federal. What the people really want
is for the civil-service reiormers to take
the offices, without either election or APP
pointment, simply upon certificates given
by them to each other vouching for their
entire monopoly Of the respectability of
the country. Then the voters, being re-
lieved of the unpleasant and risky duty
of choosing their own officers, who in
turn appoint their own subordinates,
could attend to more important work.
They could meet at such times as the
self'appointed reform ofiice-holders
should see fit to call them together, and
could adopt resolutions and addresses
prepared for them by their kind masters.
The government Of the people By the self
praising reiormers and for the reformers
aforesaid would be the FOOLS paradise for
which these so long have yearned. We
quite agree with the Times that the idea
of having the choice of officers connected
with elections is an evil altogether toll
cradle and not to be endured" Let us
keep our elections out OF politics, and our
politics out of elections, and our offices
out of both. Bah What a gentle ass
must a man be who would not tire of
being ridden by such word-mongers as
these reiormers. They fool us to the top
of our bent

LET it be borne in mind that when Mr..
Blaine wrote to Mr.. Trescot, on the 18th
of December, instructing him to "dis-
abuse the Chilian mind of any impress
sion that the United States meditates any
Intervention beyond the use of good
offices" he was no longer master of the
situation as he was on the 4th of August
when, with no President to restrain him,
he instructed Mr.. Hurlbut as follows:
You will take special care to notify both ne
Chilian and Peruvian authorities OF the character
and status Of the claim in order that no defnitiye
treaty Of peace shall be made in disregard of the
rights which Landreau may be found to possess.
On the 4Ht Of august the Blaine policy
prevailed. "In order that" no treaty should
be made in disregard of Landreau's rights.
when adjudicated, was not merely ten
der of good Offices. The Blaine policy
was that Peru owed Landreau a certain
royalty on all guano removed. To ascer
tain what amount had been removed was
all Mr.. Blaine left for Peru to do. The
claim was not left an open question; the
only question was TO compute the amount
under contract declared valid by Mr..
Blaine. And Mr.. Hurlbut was directed
to notify Chill and Peru of the "charac-
ter and status" Of the claim, in order that
no treaty should be made in disregard of
it. lfa treaty should be made after that
contrary to Mr.. Blaine's orders, of course
it followed that he would treat il as an
otlense to the United States He never
meant to assert his right TO command and
waive the right to be obeyed.
The Blaine papers continue to hammer
Mr.. Belmont for credting to the letter of
December lG the tone of that of August
4. Why not discuss the letter of August
4? 1t was that which had created the
" impression" to "dsabuse the Gillian
mind " Of which President Arthur caused
him to address Mr.. Trescot the letter of
December l6.

TEXAS BEEF DIRECT TO LONDON.

Speaking of q company formed 10 bring
beef direct to London from Texas, Truth
says 'What its financial prospects may
be 1 do not pretend to know; but the facts
disclosed in the prospectus are important.
At present, q Texas beast journeys slowly
up TO the Northwest Of America, and thence
TO the eastern seaboard, where 1t is shipped
to us. The company proposes to ship meat
direct from Texas to Liverpool and London.
An American company agrees to deliver
carcasses of an average weight of $50 pounds
at 1sd. per pound at the shipping port, and
firm of shipowners undertakes to supply
steamers to bring them from there TO one
of our ports at I'D. per pound. The meat
consequently, can, it is said, be hid down
at Smithfeld for sale at trife over 3td.
per pound There would, therefore, be q
good profit at selling this meat at 4td. per
pound. see no reason why this scheme
should not succeed The meat, take it,
would not be SO good as prime Scotch or
English beef. This would become luxury
to the rich. In several Of our provincial
towns there are butchers shops where only
American meat is on sale, and their owners
ind that they can sell as much as they can
procure. There ought to be such shops in
London. What the effect of reducing the
market for home beef to the rich viii be on
the British farmer do not know; but it is
difficult to conceive greater boon for the
poorer classes than to secure to them a
supply of nutritious beef at about 5td. per
pound"

CONVERSATIONS OVERHEARD.
An Amusing Incident at Social Gather-
ing.


There was social gathering at Rockland
the other evening, and among the guests
present was q musical genius from Boston.
A number of local celebrities had favored
the company with selections, both vocal and
instrumental, and then the musical genius
from Boston, was with great difficulty pre-
vailed upon to play piece on the piano.
He seated himself amid much applause and
fell to paving the ivory keys with q vigor
that left no doubt of the sincerity of his
emotions. The audience contemplated the
scene for brief moment and then fell into
pleasant and comfortable conversation,
intermixed with light and joyous bursts Of
laughter, as is customary among good So
ciety when a person is performing on the
piano. An idea flew into the mind of the
musical genius as he proudly listened to
the storm of laughter and conversation
which his talent called forth. He suddenly
stopped in the middle Of a bar, or a rest or
some other musical term, and the awful ST.
lence of the piano was filed by the following
fragmentary ends of current remarks:--
Was awfully cold, said the thin woman
in the blue dress and green ribbons.
"-Of the best pork said the bald-head-
ed man with the notified face.
SO we Clipped another ten all round"
said the young man in the phenomenally
short coat
Puts on airs like all Boston Musicians
said the sad-eyed party who had been watch
ing the musical genius back with jealous
eyes.
Soaked fat dreadfully," said the little
woman in the corkscrew curls.
Always fiirts in company like this"
said the maiden lady whose eyes were fasten-
ed on handsome girl at the opposite side
of the ROOM l 5sH0
Think family albums are just heaven
ly," said the gushing young thing in pink
who was talking to the weak-eyed man in
glasses.
Don't like these mixed times,n said
the prim woman in gray hair and jet black
switch. uiA
81 eat sours on my stomach said the
dyspeptic looking man in the long black
coat
Cut them off with fathers razor" snid
the girl in tight boots.
New girl every night in the week."
said the smart young man in the loud ring.
why, cert" said the dashing girl with
the foreign crimps trailing vacantly down
over her forehead.
"-Sewed patch on the seat of his old
ones, said the fat woman in the baby-blue
! sack.
And then an italie silence fell athwart the
gay assemblage, and the thermometer on the
mantel dropped to twenty degrees below
zero. --Rockldad Gazette.

ANECDOTES OF JUSTICES.
How the Tables Were Turned ON the Chief
Justice-CliiTord's style.

The bar here is looking out for an out
burst from Justice Gray. His Massachusetts,
reputation has come here before him. His
TRADES against trembling deputy sheriffs and
frightened witnesses have been told about
over and over again, Only two lawyers in
Boston have ever been able to turn the tables
ON him. One was Henry E. Payne and the
other Sidney Bartlett. "If Your Honor

There is no knowing how much TESTING

room is closed, but once in while good
