Speaking Of the civil service reform declara
ton Of the recent Maine Democratic State con-
ycnton the Boston Transcript says: "This by
Democratic state convention. notwithstand-
ing the unbrol>rn practice of that party in State
and municipal governments whenever it has
possessed uncontrolled power" OF course. and
the Transcript. and everybody else, knows that
if the Democrats should attain power the ''prac-
tce' would still remain unbroken. 1t should
be remembered, also, that the candidate who
stands on this platform is Governor Plaisted,
and his efforts in the direction of civil service
reform have been confined to endeavors to turn
out worthy officials that he might replace them
by his friends and followers, and in attempting
to destroy the independence of the Judiciary.
The civil service reform Of the Democrats is
altogether too thin to hold the Governor, or to
deceive the intelligent voters of Maine.

There was a tilt in the House on Fri
day between congressman Butterworth
Of Ohio and Cox Of New York, in which
some accounts say indecent language was
used. The Boston Herald correspondent
says the language was not indecent
while Perley Of the Boston Journal says
that it was. The Herald correspondent is,
however, young and unsophisticated, and
if Perley says the expressions were in
decent We are inclined to think they
must have been very bad indeed.
