THE magnificent gift of the French Repub-
lie to America of Bartholdi's statue OF Liberty,
which is designed as an ornament to the har-
Dor of New York, is stalled for want of funds
to procure pedestal. A city in which are
hundreds of millioRaires is at loss for a
paltry $2so,ooo to procure it; and it is abso-
lutely true that subscription lists are being cir
culated at the various watering places Tor that
object. A man in middling circumstances
would suppose that the struggle would be
among the 300 millionaires of New York city
as to who should secure the privilege of sup.
plying this fund. Not SO; every public place
is being c~nvassed for this petty sum.

That these blessings are appreciated

fore has the wealth of people grown

A Wonderful Invention.
Philadelphia Times.

The Lego patent sends as many
words over q single wire in q minute
as the most skillful Morse operator can
send in an hour, delivers at the receiv-
ing station fac simile of the copy
furnished, and does it all without the
help of skillful operator. Anybody
who can turn crank can send mes
sage, in his own handwriting, with
any private marks or other devices he
pleases, simply by first writing his
message on a chemically prepared
piece of paper furnished by the COM
pany. Practical trials of this appara-
tus have shown a speed of $500 words
minute, but it can be enlarged SO as
to do even better. A Morse operator
who can send or receive 1000 or $500
words any hour can command the
highest salary, and even then there is
nothing to guarantee him against max
ing mistake-a thing which by the
Leggo process is impossible. Pictures
can be transmitted in this way, and
an enterprising reporter can send, not
only the words, but the music of the
new opera by wire; but the great ad-
vantage the company claims for it is
the transmission of correspondence.
1t is expected that the energetic bust
ness man who has an important letter
to send to distance will no longer
drop it in the postoffice-unless, in
deed, an arrangement can be effected
by which the postoffices will be made
receiving and delivering stations for
the postal telegraph-but will bring it
to the companys office, place it with
his own hands in the machine, and
send it humming in a moment to its
destination.

The Civil Service Bill

4 meeting Of the Democratic editors OF
Indiana was held at IdianapoIis, at which
a letter was read from Gov. Hendricks,
expressing in unqualified terms his dis
approval of the Pendleton civil service
bill. which he reviewed at some length
and characterized as an indignity and
an insult to the majority of the people,
and a Republican scheme to exclude
Democrats from the usual control of
public affairs.
Ex-senator Mcdonald, who has re-
Gently been mentioned as an available
candidate for the Presidency, entered
his protest against the perpetuity in Of
fee clause, a proposition in his judg-
ment anti-demOcratic in its broadest
sense, and in direct opposition to the re-
publican principle underlying the gov
eminent. He said it was custom Dor
rowed from Great Britain and in time
would lead to the creation of an army Of
superannuated ofiice-hOlders for whose
support the people would have to pay in
every sense. Hon. B. W. Hanna de-
nounced it as a step backward in the
old federalist doctrine of Hamilton and
in opposition to the theories of Jackson
and Jefferson, monarchical in tendency.
The dispatch reports that the forego-
ing expressions voiced the opinion of all
the prominent Democratic members of
the Legislature, and that the feeling
against the Pendleton bill is intense.
The Washington correspondent of the
Times-Democrat telegraphs the follow
ing in reference to the matter:
WAsHNGToN.-Th views of Gov Hen
bricks and ex Senator Mcdonald, of lndi
ana, expressed at Indianapolis last Thurs
| day, on the Pend eton civil service bill
were printed here to-day and caused great
| deal of comment among Congressman
Their views condemn the bill. Democrats
who voted for the bill are beginning to won
| der whether or not they did not make 9
mistake. There appears to be very gen.
eral approval of the views Of Hendricks
and Mcdonald PendletOns party associ
ates do not appear to be over anxious to
commend him on the success of his bill
Mr.. Folger Secretary of the Treasury, is
quoted as saying the bill is sham In his
opinion, men fit for the duties required Of
them in the civil service, can never be Sc
lected by competitive examinations. Men
who are up in grammar do not make the

Civil Service Reform With Ven.
gence.

A correspondent of the Tmes-Demo-
crat at Madison, says
r. L. Bennett. our efficient and popular
postmaster, has just been removed in con-
sequence of his having advocated the cleo
ton Of Major Barksdale to Congress in this
district. Mrs. McGaughey succeeds him.
As Mr.. Bennett is all that the cores
pendent describes; in word, a compe-
tent officer of unpeachible integrity, and
withal a christian gentleman, universal
sally esteemed by his neighbors, we
infer that he was removed solely for the
partisan reasons assigned. Here we have
a striking commentary upon the pro
LESSONS and practice of the Arthur Ad-
ministration. In his late message, its
head urged Congress opass a civil service
reform bill, and stated that "it mattered
little to the people at large what. compe-
tent person is at the head OF this depart
ment or of that bureau, il they feel
assured that the removal of one and the
accession of another will not involve the
retirement of honest and faithful subor-
dinates whose duties are purely admins
tratiye, and have legitimate connection
with the triumph of any political princi-
pies of the success of any political party
or faction" Directly in the face of this
declaration, and of the passage of bill
through Congress, the effect of which is
to secure to the partisan subordinates OF
the Administration in the Executive
departments life tenures of Office, al
official of unquestioned integrity and
acceptability to the community he is
serving, is removed for exercising his
right of judgment in selecting Repre-
sentative in Congress.
In saying this much it is proper to add
further, that we do not disparage the
qualifications and merits of the estima
BILE lady who has been appointed to sue
coed Mr.. Bennett.

In a Nutshell.

Here is the whole unjust system of
taxation in nutshell, as put by con-
temporary. Cut it out and paste it in
your hat where your brains ought to be.
There are in the United States about
100000 families. Our annual taxa
ton for federal purposes is about $780,
100000. Each head of a family pays
therefore an average tax of $40. Under
the existing revenue system the working
classes are more heavily taxed than the
wealthy, for the highest duties are i'm
posed on the coarser goods used by the
poor.

occupancy of the seat ,and the salary which
he has of right drawn during the whole
Congress, thereby tacitly admitting his
legal claim to it. The game of the major
ity seems to be to seat Mr.. Buchanan, at

The bill reported to the Senate to re-

travagant machinery and operatives
consisting of collectors, detectives, in
formers, gaugers and gougers, and cost
ing in the aggregate nearly six mil
lions of dollars. If it should be found
necessary in dealing with the tariff, to
permit any part of the internal tax to
remain, at all events its costly machine.
