BaCCALAUREaTE SERMON.

Society, with all its professions of
Christianity, cares nothing for the
young man, the old man or any sort of
a man individually, as rule, but Is
composed of q mass of struggling per-
sons, who, nevertheless, unite to crush
transgressors, unless in very vicious
conditions where the latter, or a few
of them, manage to defraud others aud
evade the laws, or use them for their
purposes. 1t is clear that successful
wrong must be the exception, or society
tould go to pieces. Let the young
man, then, consider what honorable
occupation will pay him. 1t is worth
something, no doubt, to be able to keep
the hands nice, to stay in out OF the
sun, to wear good clothes, and not work
Very hard.-Erchdnge.
The above paragraph is good bac-
calaureate sermon to the host of young
men who have so recently been turned
loose from college and brought face to
face with the practical phase Of life. The
moral is to accept any honorable EN-.
ployment, though it be other than q
profession, which will enable him to
maintain a proper spirit Of indepen-
dence, and be safe guard against the
temptation to acquire wealth without
earning it, or depend upon the uncer-
tain aid of friends to help him to "a po-
sition." A young man who has no
capital but his abilities, must come to
the conclusion first or last to sell those
abilities for Just what they will COM
mand in the market where he Is. The
only alternative to this Is to beg or
steal.

TIE LAST DAY-BUT ONE-Of TIE
RPOILS SYATEM. s., D a.

On and after next Monday the post
masters and collectors OF customs, the
heads of bureaus, and the Cabinet OFF,
GERS at Washington will have to call
upon the Civil Service Intelligence
Office when they want clerks, as the
law goes into effect at that time.
The Intelligence Office" is not likely,
however, to be greatly pressed with de-
mands for sometime to come, as 1t Is
generally understood that the depart
ments have been stocked by Congress
men and other office brokers, who have
hurried up the appointment Of their ia.
vorites in anticipation Of the time when
such influences will not prevail, II the
law is honestly executed.
But vacancies will occur in the future
as they have in the past, and they must
be filed by the applicants who are most
competent and worthy. Under the law
incompetent or unfaithful employees
may be removed. 1t does not touch
the tenure. 1t simply prescribes the
method of appointment.
We are now, at least, to have an OPP
portunity TO observe the practical oper-
ations of the law. 1t will doubtless be
assailed by the elamor of the spoilsmen,
and it is expecting too much to sup
pose that no defects will be developed.
Much depends upon theimpartiality and
fidelity of the administration in eRfor-
ing it. That it will securea better class
of clerks seems probable and that par
tisan influences will have less control
in appointments seems also probable.
When its operations are better under
stood by the whole people, there will
be less chance of evading or prostitu-
ting the provisions of the act, and the
administration which refuses to enforce
it will doubtless be brought to judgment
by the people. Altogether the Pendle-
ton bill will probably prove long stride
toward destroying the spOils system.

The declaration of the party platform
of the OHIO Republicans and Democrats,
are quite different so far Is they relate to
the general subject of u tariff, but upon
the wool tariff they are Identical.
Both parties unequivocally demand
restoration Of the wool tariff, and this
fact only furnishes another illustration
of General Hancock celebrated decla-
ration in regard to the local character
of the tariff question.
But the question in Ohio just now, Is
not as to the propriety of restoring the
wool tariff, on which both parties agree,
but as to the improperly Of the reduc-
ton made by the last Congress. In his
speech the other day, Judge H"ADLY
referred to this subject in his pointed
style. He read from the platform of
the Ohio Republicans the following:
"Third-That the wool tariff e. t,ojI
should be restored st ffFs'G.,f 9bbassible Op
pOrtunity."-
Aud-sent en- to comment upon it. He
sid:

wool tariff of 1867? Was it the work
Of the Democrats? Why, we have not
had any power. They have had the
Senate, THANKS to their partnership with
Malone

Mckinley held up their hands aud said
they voted against il; but there were

No, WHO abolished the wool tariff? Tell
this tn the OOl.grower OF Ohio. Who
;oCk the wool tariff of 1867 and reduced
the tariff to 10 cents per pound, and sin &c
then cut it down to 10 and II cents? Who
cut it down? The Republican party. And
now they say-the Ohio party, where the
wOol-grOwers live-not the Pennsylvania
PEOPLE, who do not raise sheep, nor the
New York sheep; they have not got the
tleeCes; but the Ohio wool grower, where
every fleece counts a yOte-they come and
say that the wool tariff shall be restored at
the very first opportunity.
Now, who is going to restore 1t? Are
the Ohio Republicans going to restore 1t?
WHY, they could not prevent its being
t>ken of, | suppose; therefore, how are
tGty going to restore it?'

pears. II is thus referred to ~ IL ,,Saa,,
York Times:
The extreme protection demanded by
Pennsylvania at the expense Of the rest
of the country has developed new fea-
ture in the proposition to distribute the
Treasury surplus among the States in
proportion to population. Pennsyl.
vania people win probably see no in
consistency in the position OF the Re-
publican Convention on questions or
State and national taxation. Ii de-
clared i'm favor of the abolition Of all
taxes not required for necessities Of the
State Government" but IL recognized
no application Of the same principle to
national taxation. On the contrary, it
demanded taxation beyond the necessi-
ties Of the national Government, aud
the distribution of the excess among
the States for the relief of local burdens.
This doctrine would carry eentralizs-
ton far beyond anything heretofore
proposed. 1t Is true that the national
Government once had surplus Of rev.
eDue which was distributed among the
States, but nobody has ever before ad-
yocated the raising of revenue for this
purpose. II it Is to be done at all there
Il no definite limit be put to the process.
II might logically be carried to the ex-
tent OF supporting the State Govern
ments at the expense of the nation, the
revenue for the purpose being raised by
protective duties, which, according to
the Pennsylvania theory, would only
have the effect Of fostering industry
and making the country richer. IL
this would be unconstitutional, then the
raising Of any revenue by national tax
alton for the benefit Of State Govern
ments would be unconstitutional.
The above are significant comments,
coming from the leading Republican
paper Of the east, but they are not more
significant than the subject matter
which prompted them.
When the Republican party Of q great
State makes deliberate svowal of such
q character, Ii must be taken to repre-
sent In no small measure, the drift Of
sentiment within that party as whole.
1t b not the first time that this prop
osition has been made to per-
petuate indefinitely the internal
revenue system, but it is the first

ton In it, favor.
