THE srNnAY QUESTION.

The clergy of New York have been
discussing the Sunday question, and
appear to have taken liberal new de-
parture which will doubtless sstOnish
some persons. The Sunday question
viii probably some day cease to be a
subject of contention. The published
views Of prominent elergymen repre-
sent almost all the shades of religious
belief upon the proper obser-
vance of the Sabbath. The con-
illusions reached by these reverend
gentlemen are remarkable for their
unanimity. Starting out with the pro.
position that sunday was made for
mau. they affirm that any attempt to
roerce him into worship on that day is
absurd in the abstract, and against the
spirit of our republican laws. They
agree that every seventh day should be
observed, at least for hygenic reasons,
but maintain that the church going
element has no more right to dictate to
the nOn.church gOers how they shall
spend the day than the latter have t
insist upon the closing ofthe churches.

rHE STATUS or RERoKM.

The civil service commissioners have
nearly completed their work OF ap-
pointing LEGAL examining boards In the
several cities which come within the
operations of the law. AS rule, they
are reported to have received the active
cooperation, II not the hearty SYM
pathy, of the Federal officials. Presi-
dent ARTHUR, it Is pretty well under
stood, proposes to see the reform law
executed in good faith, as he promised,
and as in his duty to do. The fact Will
Secure ut least an aequiescence In the
new system, even from those who have
been hostile or Indifferent to it, while
those who have witnessed its operations
IN relieving executive officers from the
Pressure Of place-seekers, will welcome
il as a needed relief. The late assistant
secretary of the treasury voiced the
opinion of all open-minded officials
who have seen the workings Of the
competitive plan, in saying that, after
six months trial, the country would
never consent to give it up, but would
insist rather upon its enforcement and
enlarge ment.
The obvious duty fthe friends of
reform in those places where it is to be
tried in to cooperate with the commits
sion is securing for it fair start. Any
evasions or unfairness should be re-
ported to headquarters, and we have
faith enough in President ARTHCR's re-
spect for the law and for the popular
will which it reflects to believe that he
will correct any maladministration,
whether of willfulness or incompe-
tency. 1t is probable that in WASH
ington, and in the larger cities, an
effort will be made to bring the system
into disrepute by misrepresenting and
ridiculing the business which is likely
to spring up, of fitting men for the ex-
aminatiOns. But it Is certainly quite as
legitimate to seek to increase the
knowledge, skill, mental readiness and
technical aptness of men by course of
special instruction, as it is to try and
increase their chances of appointment
10 the public service by pulling wires
and securing "influence' in their favor.
What the governmental other words,
the peOple-want, is the tittest men for
the work to be done, To ascertain
this fitness, certain tests are established
under that fairest OF all conditions,
open competitive examinations. The
people do not need to become students
of political science in order to be able
to understand that this is much more
Just and buslness-like method than to
appoint the men who have the strong
est political backing, or with have done
the most work for their party. What
tie people need to do, therefore, If they
believe in stable, efficient aud ecOno-
mical civil service, is to support the ex-
aminatiOns and to see that the new
system has u fair show at the start.

surprising extent. The works OF our best

almost As soon as issued in Boston or New

English authors are reprinted here. Not

As heSUNDAY REGISTER predicted, Judge
Foraker, of Cincinnati, is the Repub'
lican candidate for Governor OF Ohio.
The convention at Columbus nominated
him with a spirit that was practically
unanimous after Sherman's declination.
Judge Foraker is strong candidate. Per
sonally he is popular, and in Cincinnati
he is known as one Of the leading
men OF the State. 1t is now more
than probable tl.at the Democrats
will put up another Cincinnati man in the

been placed at any expense, as the chemist

chase all chemicals needed They were also
of the opinion that II any aid was given 1t
should be done by the State aud not by the
county. After a few remarks by other
