Literature are made with excellent judgment. The
price OF this monthly is but one dollar year.

The Democratic Idea of Civil Ser
vice Reform.

The New Jersey Democrats at their recent
convention denounced the ssham REFORM
of the civil service commission and declared
In favor of "deep-seated and genuine" re-
form, which should consist in electing hon.
est men to Office. Mr.. Leon Albeit, who was
put In nomination for governor by this same
convention, in a speech of acceptance few
days ago declared that in the coming can
vass ne should know no faction, and that
every man who worked for his election
would be to him Democrat, and that after
his election the Democrats that will be re-
warded will be the ones who do the work of
the campaign" The ''deep-seated and gem
uine" civil service reform which Mr.. Alb
bett proposes to inaugurate when he is cleo
ted is the turning out of all the Republicans
to make room for Democrats who have
worked for his election. There are to be
none OF the "sham reforms" of the civil SER
vice commission kind in New Jersey. The
only question to be considered in filling the
ofnces in that State is How much did the
applicant assist Mr. Abbett's boom" Cues
lions OF honesty and efficiency are to be
brushed aside as of no consequence in COM
parison with this all important and over
shadowing one.
We venture to say that Mr.. Abbett's idea
of "deep-seated and genuine civil service
REFORM is that of nine hundred and ninety
nine out of every thousand Democrats in
the land. Most of the spokesman of the
nartV tn ba AZ.
New Jersey statesman. They seek to dis
gulse their views somewhat by the use of
ambiguous and obscure phrases. but they
all mean the same thing. Turn the Repub-
licans out and put the Democrats in, is the
Alpha and Omega of the whole Democratic
civil service reform scheme. The Demo-
cratic worker is not in mood to stand
any fooling on this point He is working
for revenue only and is not going to put up
with any civil service reform scheme which
makes honesty and efficiency test of fitness
to hold Office. Mr.. George Fl. Pendleton's
present forlorn condition is the result of
mistaking the Democratic temper on this
point, and any Democratic statesman who
may have the hardihood to follow in his
footsteps is certain to speedily meet his
fate. The Democratic campaign of next
year is to be one for spoils and for nothing
else. Strict silence is to be observed on all
issues except the overshadowing one of
turning the Republicans out in order to put
the Democrats in. Mr.. Abbett's programme
in New Jersey will next year be the Demo-
cratic programme all over the country.
None other can be relied upon to rouse
Democratic enthusiasm,

These volumes are the first of new edition, to be

He tells the mechanic of his trade, reveals
of his Imagination, and shows the philosopher laws
Of unity and harmony where there seemed only dis
cord and contrariness. He discerns the hidden sig
nifcance of life, and is companionable teacher,
who while he walks along the highway discourses of
great themes and illustrates them by the things of
common experience. The anecdote you have known
from the time you were at school has humor and
meaning not suspected until he relates it, and the
flowers of the field, even the dust of the road, as
well as the far perspectves get relations in the
cosmos. He spurs the faculties of doing well as
the faculties of seeing an of thinking. He makes
men believe in themselves and respect their neigh
bors as they believe in God and respect truth. His
writings endure the test of familiarity they do not
grow stale The youth is inspired by them, and the
old man is re-invigorated. What seemed true and

true and sweet when tolls have exhausted strength

Capt. George E. Tyson, the old whaling
captain who has been connected with several
Arctic expeditions, believes that it would be
useless to attempt to send an expedition to
the relief of Lieut.. Greeley this year. No
vessel or crew could get up Smiths sound
until next summer. Capt. Tyson is of the
opinion that Lieut.. Greeley has provisions
enough, and will be safe if he remains in
Lady Franklin bay this winter. If, however,
he has vantured down Smiths sound, his
crew has and will suffer very much. Capt. Ty-
son thinks explorers make great mistake in
trying to take their vessels up Smiths sound
The proper way he thinks is to go up the
sound in small boats which can be hauled
out of the ice or on shore when the ice is
dangerous.

: The questions connected with promotions
In the civil service are still under considera-
ton by the Civil Service Commissioners
There is much difference of opinion among
the commissioners as well as among the
prominent friends of civil service reform as
to the propriety of competitive examinations
for promotion in the service. George Will
liam Curtisis said to have suggested that
the best way to restrict patronage and to
check favoritism is by competitive examina-
lions for admissions to the service, but that
1t is doubtful whether competitive examine
tions are the best means for ascertaining the
most efficient administrator afterward. Mr..
4. o. Cram assistant Treasurer of the United
States, who has been conspicuous as one of
the leaders of the civil service reform move
ment, is opposed to the competitive princi-
pie for the higher places in the service.

The Denver Tribune says A fine
audience attended the Tabor opera
house last night. 1.-THE Serious Fam
ily'' was placed before the public in
a manner that very few companies can
render 1t The piece ran smoothly
and the stage setting was of a striking
character. All the characters were
we'll played and correctly costumed.
The part of "Sleek" was faithfully rem
dered. The canting hypocrite of So
ciety, the willy rascal who is to be found
in nearly every family, was faithfully
portrayed. Mr.. Langrishe has no equal
in this character on the stage. His
facial acting is wonderfully good. Not
a word of the line that he utters but is
a special study. Since the days of
William E. Burton his like has not
been seen in this peculiar line of
comedy.
With regard to Mrs. Langrishe's per-
Torrance and appearance it can simply
be said that it was to the life. The
support was good.
