and moro desperate than that Of machine
regulars" The solf.stylcd rcformers have
been "cutting ON behind" the political ma
chine wagon, and, failing to catch IL, have
paused by the waysido to below and whine
against fast driving. We want less of this
spirit. Both classes Of Office seekers should
be gagged, and the millions who want no
offices or plumber should command tho peace.
The suggestion of Senator Miller for q
remedy, in tho form of larger conventions, to
to bo composed of delegates chosen directly
by the people, is good one Any individual
ambition which cannot stand tho test of
popular vote is q selfish and n dangerous one.
But tho recent reformed primaries in New
York demonstrated that the failure Of voters
to vote has been less for want of opportunity
than Of inclination.
The people will not vote at primaries until
the newspaper organs Of soroheadism and dis.
appointed ambition cease to rail indiscrimi-
natoly against politics and politicians The
question Of who shall hold the clerkships is
one of detail, to bo trusted to honest men
vested with the appointing power. If there
cannot be honest presidents and heads of de-
partments there cannot be honest civil service
commissioners. If a bank directory cannot
| appoint competent cashiers and tellors, thoy
cannot appoint competent men to discharge
that duty for them. Civil service reform
should bs constantly going on like improve
mcnt in private business But as q political
machine to hoist the neglected aud the min
huential into places, it is as disgustingas any
other engine for distributing public fodder
among hungry cattle
Finally, tho people will he induced to take
hold of party affairs when they hear leaders
who have something to say on great public
questions, and who can say it in way to
show that they are in earnest. But even then
they must not be told that party action is
not morally binding in individuals. The ma
iority must rule, and the belief in the neccs-
sity of party success for tho general good must
outweigh the failure of Brown to win n nomi-
nation or of Jones to be defeated for one.

The Hsnil,yny problem.

A resident of Maryland avenue writes to
THE REPUBLICAN this morning complaining
of the ground taken in the article published
yesterday on "The City's Progress" which,
briefly stated, was that the annoyance in
fctcd on tho residents of this and other
portions OF the city by the railway company,
although aggravating in the last degree, was
yet not without some compensating consider
ations, since the necessity Of the company
for increased facilities in the city was an in
disputablo evidence of the business growth
and prosperity of the capital. 1t may be
difficult for wv. NJ. s." and his neighbors to
appreciate this, since so large u part of the
damage and so small n part of the benefits
have fallen to their share. 1t is none the less
true, however, That railways are n necessity in
this age and generation, and that where they
are busiest there Ia the greatest prospect. 1t
is also indisputabely true that they are prone
to disregard the rights of individuals, and to
encroach upon private property, but the evils
they thus intlct are not without remedy and
must be endured only until they can be cured.
The REPUBLICAN does not despair that a
remedy can and will be found, and if w. NJ. s.
does not stop his paper, as he threatens to, he
will find it vigorously championing the cause
of right and justice in this as in all other
tnottnre

THE NEW TWO CENT STAMP.
The Demands from Postmnstcrs So Lara
That the Contractors Cannot Suppl

Tie Demands from Postmnsters So Large
That the Contractors Cannot supply
Them.
The acquisitions upon tho postofIice depart
,rnent by the postmasters for the new ? cent
stamps are so largo that the contractors are
unable to supply the demand, and the depart
ment consequently is reducing the amounts
called for in the acquisitions. The contrac-
tors at present are able 10 furnish 100000
stamps daily, but this is much less than the
number demanded. During the early part of
the present month the department distrib-
uted q large number of the old = cent
stamps among the smaller postoiliccs, yet it
is believed that with tho utmost excrtions of
tho department fully one-third Of the post
offices of the country will not have an ado-
quate supply OF stamps upon the date when
the law providing for the now letter rate goes
into operation, Department officials, how
ever, do not fear any serious obstruction of
business on that account, as the offices lacking
supplies will bo of the smallest grade, where
postmasters from ignorance of the law or ne
glcct have failed to forward acquisitions in
season,

The Civil Commission mud the clerlse.

1t having been alleged that in the interior
department two messengers were promoted to
positions which place them within the 5000
grade of clerks, the civil service commission
has determined to investigate the matter.
The commission claims that this question was
practically settled for all the departments by
the result of the conference with Secretary
Folger some time ago, when the lattor ac-
cepted the views of tho commission. Those
views are that no head of depart
ment has n right to promote man from the
rank of laborcr to the classified Gcrvice.
Such transfer is held 10 be not promotion,
but an admission into the classified service,
to which mono can be admitted without eX-
animation The commissions has drafted
rules to govern promotions from one class to
another, but until they are finally adopted,
promotions arc made after the fashion that
has prevailed for many years
