We have read the letter of Hon. John
F. Dezendorf addressed to President Ar
thur about the use Of government men
and means by Senator Malone in the Vir-
ginia elections. We are not surprieed that
ts statements have excited scathing COM
ment by the Republican press on both the
President and the Senator. The New
York Times lRep.) commenting on it says:
"The Republican party is doomed to
s'dissolution if it cannot prove to the coun-
"try that it is willing and able to abolish
"the spoils system and all the corruption
'sand political tyranny of which that sys-
Item is the fruitful source. Whatever its
professions may be in other regards it
'scannot regain public confidence unless
sit sustain consistently and firmly and in
"good faith the principle of reform
(which requires the withdrawal of the pat
"ronage of the Government from politics.
"This abuse the people are resolved to put
ian end to if they have to dissolve the par
''ty. It is for the party itself and its Off
'scial leaders in the national Government
ito say whether the abuse shall go with
"out or with the destruction of the party.
"If the party is to continue its career of
.susefulness it must be relieved of the bur-
s'den of discredit and suspicion thrown
'upon it by the peryersion of the civil SER
"vice to the uses Of such politicians as
"Senator Mahohe. The President is bound
Shy the letter of the law. by the spirit of
''his constitutional obligation, and by his
"duty to his party as well, to see that Mr..
.'Mahone shall no longer control the Fede-
''ral service in Virginia. and particularly
"that the employees Of the United States
s.shall not be plundered to carry his ends.
The Philadelphia Press (Rep.) says: "Mr.
eDezendorf's story is as old and familiar
''as it is disgraceful- public Office used for
s'private gain, assessments levied on the
''hard earnings Of workmen in the navy
yard, wasteful contracts let out for the
'beneit Of contractors, until the repairs
ION single tug aggregate $12l,OOO, or
"thrice it's original value. This is robbery
land blackmail. just as were like practices
sin the New Orleans mint Under Polk,
''the Philadelphia navy-yard under b.
s'chanan or more recent abuses, Federal,
Estate and municipal. They can be reme-
''died only by the same sharp measures
(which have eircumscribed the like waste
"of public money direct from the treasury
sin this country and in England-by put
'ting patronage peddling under the ban of
''law. President Arthur is offered in the
''Civil Service Reform law the first oppor-
''tunity to accomplish this, ever presented
'.to an American executive. He cannot
edo better than begin with Malone and
''end his career as patronage-peddler.' y
It begins to look as if the Democrats of
Virginia would not have the trouble of
killing off Gen. Malone after all; the
prospect being SO good for his political
slaughter in the house of his friends.

Parents, Keep Your Children
Out of 1Ile Streets.

1t is common thing these days to
see boys, and sometimes girls, lolling
around the street corners, listening
to and engaging in talk that is every
thing but refining The harm caused
by this habit cannot be over esti-
mated. Many bright eyed, intelli
gent-looking boy has here contracted
the habit of lying, cheating, and
stealing, and the result has been the
wearing of the ball and chain" for
an indefinite period. 1t is here some
boys learn to take for the first time
an oath; and after taking the first, it
becomes an easy matter to take the
second, and so on until it becomes
second nature with them.
The chain-gang is filled with those
who began their downward course by
holding up some lamp-post or street
corner. What we want to make of
our boys and girls is gentlemen and
ladies; and this cannot be done sue
cessfully-indecd, it cannot be done
at all-if they spend all their spare
time in the streets. Mothers should
feel it their duty to make home
pleasant, so that the little ones will
not seek amusement elsewhere.
Just SO long as children are allowed
to loaf in the streets, just SO long
will the penitentiary, station-house,
and chain-gang be full Parents can
greatly lessen the crimes committed
against the city and State, by giving
more attention to the welfare of their
children, especially this matter of
keeping them at home. = indicator.

Americnn Enterprise.

No invention of the nineteenth
century has worked a greater revo-
luton in household economy. or con
ferred more of benefit on human
ity, than the sewing machine.
The first productions were crude
and uncouth in the extreme, and it
was reserved for American skill and
ingenuity to bring forth machine
of any practical value.
In order to appreciate the great adj
vancement which has taken place, it
is only necessary to compare one of
the machines built during the infancy
of the invention with one of the
latest improved Light Running New
Home"
All the really good points contained
in other machines have been utilized
in its construction. Many new i'm
provements and devices have also
been added, the result of which is a
machine as nearly perfect as it is
possible to make one.
For simplicity, durability, ease of
management, and capacity for work,
the Light Running New Home" has
no rival and the happy possessor
Of one may rest assured that he or
she has the very best the world
affords.
