IN A QUANDARY.

The Democrats in Congress are terribly
perplexed about civil service reform. If
they declare against it, as did Governor
IIoadly of Ohio, they take the unpopular
side of an issue the Republicans will hail
with JOY. If, on the other hand, they pro-
nounce for it, they lose all the power they
now have by reason of the attraction of re-
wards and spoils for the boys" They
hope to get out of the quandary by silence
but unfortunately there are indiscreet
members of the party who will not keep
still, but insist upon declaring that to the
victOrs belong the spoils, and that civil
service reform Is only device of the Re-
publican party to hold on to the offices
In addition, the Civil Service Commission
needs 81, 900 to carry on its work. Now,
to refuse it is to close the work of the
Commission and thus squarely assail the
reform, while to vote it is to arm anew the
most potent force ever directed against the
spoils system, and without which the De-
mocracy is a Sampson with shorn locks
The New York Post is of the opinion that
the party will not put the item into the
appropriation Dill, and plead mistake or
inadycrtence when the matter is brought
up in the cmpaign. We think differently
The Democracy will put the item into the
bill and then cut it down, say one-half,
after it comes from the committee in the
