A GOOD LAW AFTER All

II the civil service law had done
nothing moro than check the inroads of
Republican Campaign committees upon
the department employees at Washing
ton and the Federal oiliceholders
Throughout tho country it ought TO be
hailed asa good law, and meet with the
honest and enthusiastic support of every
patriot in the land.
In 1880 the robbery of these various of.
licials by JAY llUnnELL and his crowd
was notorious. Several hundred thou.
sand dollars were raised in this way and
used as corruption fund by DoRs,.y
ana company. IL was money alone that
saved GARFIELD. ltwas tho victory OF
corruption, open and shameless, and the
departments wero forced to become A
party TO the disgraccful proceedings.
Since then the civil service law has

parcntly in earnest in their expressed

strictly enforced, and are hravely and

by the Professor are especially worthy
of attention:
"Tee grand intent OF those sections of
the civil-sorvice act which relate TO con.
tributions for political purposes was
twoiold; First to prevent tho uso of
Government places and Government
iunds as forces 10 control

tect the Government employees from
compulsory contributions to political
funds. Tho government clerk Is en-
pioycd to work for tho people, and not
Tor party, and his pay comes from tho
people, and not from his party. What
he earns is therefore his own; and n ia
the grossest tyranny to oxtort from him

interest with all good citizens In tho

IRELAND AND THE CASH BAL
ANCE

inc Incorporate zeal Of many party
organs before n convention, in attacking
the gentleman who have antagonized
their organs, but who are candidates for
denomination with everyshow ofsuccess,
Is strlkingly illustrated every now and
then. Old files, are, disagrecable often,
ana IN the event ola "nop," are used
frequently to great advantage.
Before tho Houston convention the
News, of Galveston, the Statesman and
other papers bitterly opposed IRELAND,
and among other things had especially
"A great deal to say about the reckless ex-
penditure of the big cash balance left
| by RoBERrs The JONES and MORTON
following may be calculated upon with
absolute certainty to reproduce those
editorials of the News. And in some
quarters they will have their effect.
few weeks since the News insisted
that the IRELAND administration had
squandered most shamelossly the big
balance left by the RoBEETs ad-
ministration. The HERALD demurred
to this proposition and gave some fig
ures in these columns to refute the dec
laratlons of tho News. Thereupon tho
News thought tho HERALD quite YER
dant and wholly astray on figures. The
HERALD is not in the habit of running
OIL at tangent. 1t generally knows
whereof ii speaks.
In the issue of Saturday we printed
the official figures from Austin. They
came from the books and may be de
pended upon. The balance when IRE-
LAND wentin was 100000 in round num-
bers. Deficiencies were $40 200; Terrell
asylum, to build, was $l2s,OOO; build
ing the addition of tho Austin asy-
lum was $4,000; improv, ments ut poni-
tentiaries, ETC., $4,000, and various
other minor items that not only OK
hausted the balance, but ran into the
appropriations for thel first IRELAND
year.
These are facts and indicate that not
only has the HERALD been hero
toioro dealing fairly with the
pubic in its discussions of the
work Of the IRELAND administration.
but that that administration has been
one of tho most economical, patriotic,
conservative and satisfactory that the
state has had for years. 1t is we'll
enough for the public to treasure IN
these facts. 1t is well enough to know
where to go to get the most authentic
news, undressed, uncolored, coldly i'm.
partial and accurate when such news is
an item.

Gloria CeSpedes.

Ihere is n wondrous beauty ut Long
Branch, according to several writer's.
Her name is Gloria Cospedes. She is a
daughter of General Cospedes, who was
Killed about fourteen years ago in the
cuban revolution. Twins were born to
the widow Il few months after her ma
triot husbands death, and Miss Gloria
Is one OF them. She is described os a
most beautiful specimen of the MIRO
spanish type. Her face, while cbarar-
terlStlc OF her nationality, is more regu-
lar ana delicate in its features than ~
usual IN her cOuntrywomen. Hcrh1ir ia
jet, her eyes largo and lustrous. her
complexion rich and clear, ana her eX-
preston bright and amiable. Still moro
renlarkable than her perfection of head
Is her iaultless figure, combining stateIi.
ness and grace in both carriage and
pose. Whenever she appears amon0
the dancers in hotel parlor, or the
louhSers ON Yer lnda, there is nothing
else To look at. She dresses i'm child
lsh fashion yet, and not with any adhcr-
ence To Cuban styles; nor are her iuye-
nile manners ut all affected by tie CO.
9uCttlshness common to the girls of
CUBA. Her fan is not used i'm tronic1i
tricks, and her eyes seem to know no
olher than honest Witcherv.
