A MUSIC firm has dedicated new piece
"The Coming Man." to Hoadly, the New
Democracy" He will be a long time
coming, and never get there.
ALL the Democratic party asks is to
be judged by its wOrks.-NeU York
World.
This Is new attitude for party that
has studiOusly run away from and tried
to escape its record for the last quarter
Of century, imploring an indulgent
public to let by-gOnes be by-gones. But,
judged by its works it must in truth be
said, that the great wonder of this CEN
fury is the unprecedented development
Of America, under the Republican and
Democratic parties, the former doing
everything to promote, the latter doing
its utmost to prevent such develop
ment.
PRESIDENT ARTHUR, at Yellowstone
Park is the center of attraction, as else
where, not because be is President, but
because he is manly man, as well as a
superior executive, believed by all and
beloved of the people. The ring of his
sterling qualities as citizen, man,
statesman and ruler, acts like a tonic
upon the whole country, and when he
circulates among the peoplel there is
such an absence of all sham, and an ex-
hibition of common sense, simplicity,
and practical wisdom, that makes him a
favorite. He is having good time, and
this, in all probability, will continue as
long as he lives.
The Democrats in Ohio are in distress
and in answer to their cry, Mr.. Groesbeck,
of Cincinnati, says he will help, and has
begun delivering civil service speeches.
This is keen sarcasm, as the help needed
in canvass which cost HOadly $4,000
for the nomination, is money. The
civil service reform wanted by Demo-
cracy is to GUST every Republican, and
fill the place with Democrat. The
Liquor Association soon convene, to
boom Hoadly, and yet there is more
money needed to carry the renegade
Republican through. AS Democrats are
now passionately fond of Dorsey, why
not call him from his ranch to help them
manage the much needed Democratic
aid.
A GIRL Is years old. of Washington
High School, out of 225 applicants for
examination before the Civil Service
Commissioners, obtained the highest
per cent for accurate answers, and &C
cording to the theory of the examina-
ton should be appointed to the highest
vacancy in governmental Office. The
young lady has wrested splendid prize
from nation who does not allow her or
any of her sex to vote, and has proven
what has more than once been demon
strated, tO-wit; that woman has nothing
to fear as cOmpetitress with man,
where brains decide, but we suspect the |
civil service theory is an lmpractlcable
1t is not safe to conclude |
that correct answers to list of ques-
tons implies superior qualifications for |
duties in the service of the nation, any
more than the correct answering of cat
echism questions implies an extraord-
mary degree of piety. The best way to
secure honest, efficient, expeditions
clerks is the way to be pursued by
sensible civil service, irrespective of any |
theory, but in this, woman will have no
ground for encouragement.
1.-THE Democratic press assert that |
Indiana was won IN 1880 by the Repub-
leans buying up Democrats at So each,
through Dorsey. This Dorsey has been
EAST out by the Republican party, and,
f no other cause existed, the fact that
ne engaged in the ruinous business of
paying So per head for Democrats is
sufficient to prove the man unfit to do
business for Republicans, who never
Jay at wholesale more than the thing is
worth at retail. 1t must be humilia-
ing confession to repeat over and over
hat Hoosier Democrats were so easily
purchased, when selling themselves sold
