avalanche occurred few days ago in
the mountains above Pleasant Valley.
A vast body of snow broke loose high

rushed down into one of the ca1ons
opening into the valley filling it com.
pactly to depth of about fifty feet,
the force Of the descent throwing
great masses of the snow clear out Of

Everything was swept clean before it,
and the roar of the sliding mass was
heard at long distance.

Encouraging.

The Lyon Coe9aty Times says the
ranchers in Mason and Smith Valleys
are jubilant over the prospects of a
better season this Summer and Fall.
Last year was severe one on most of
them on account of the scarcity Of
water. This year they will not have
that disadvantage to contend with and
large crops of all kinds will be raised.
The outlook for better market this
year is also encouraging, as the pros
poets of the several adjoining mining
camps are considerably better. Another
advantage they will have is Touring
mill. 1t is reported that California
parties are making arrangements to
put up firstclass steam mill at no
far distant day, and it can easily be
seen what benefit such an institution
will be. Much more wheat will be
raised in these valleys this year than
heretofore and with this industry
fairly under way better times will pre-
vail throughout that section of coun.
try.

If the department clerks who do not
caro- to contribute to the campaign fund
of either party would read the civil
service act they would have no excuse
for bothering Mr.. Dorman B. Eaton,
chairman of the civil service commission,
with questions. Mr.. Eaton has sent a
long letter to THE NATIONAL REPuBLI-
CAN for their information, and it is to be
hoped that it is sufficiently explicit. In
all the attempts that have made to secure
contributions from persons in the public
service it has been fully and carefully
explained that there is no compulsion in
the matter; that tho giving must be on
tirely voluntary, and the civil service
law must not be violated.
All that is necessary for those who think
that they are under no moral obligation
to contribute anything toward the success
Of the political party to which they pro-
fcs5 to belong is to pay no attention to the
solicitation, whether it comes in the form
of circular letter or u personal request
from some one who is not prohibited by
law from acting rs y collector for the cam
paign committees. They no doubt are
frequently asked for contributions to
various benevolent objects, and find no
diiEcalty in refusing. They have no fear
OF losing their positions in society or in
tho church by nealectinV to oa"tvihuto 10
objects which many Of their friends may
deem TO be eof the very highest Importance.
The exercise of u modicum of the same
kind of personal independence will save
them from all annoyance from campaign
collectors.
There is one point on which Mr.. Eaton
docs not give his anxious correspondents
much information. They want to know
whether they would be likely to lose
their places, should Cleveland bo elected,
if they contribute to tho Blaine campaign
fund. Mr.. Eaton holds that such action
on the part of democratic heads of depart
ments would be gross violation of the
civil service law, but he gives no opinion
as to what may be done. Tho memorable
declaration of Mr.. George w. Curtis al
the Chicago convention covers the whole
case, The democratic party is "very
hungry" 1t will mako very little differ
ence whether republican clerks contribute
to the republican campaign fund or re.
fuse to contribute, if Cleveland is elected
They will have to give place to democrats
and tho civil service law will not save
them. Some way will be found of getting
them out.

How Goods May be Purchased for the Use OF

The treasury department has issued the fol-

States
Tho free list OF the tariff act Of March Q, 1883,
exelnpts from duty "articles imported for the
nse ofthe United Stntes, provided that the
price of the same did not include the duty"
This department percelyes no objection,
under authority of this law, 10 the purchase in
bond for the use of the United States, ut u price
which does not include the duty on merchandise
already imported, but which has not been de-
livored from the custody Of the customs
officers
The practice has obtained, however, in some
cases of government officers purchasing goods
on which the duty mad beou paid, and which
had been delivered from the custody OF the
government with the agreement that free
entry would be granted for like quantity of
liyCTed 10 the contractor TO replace the goods
previously delivered to the government Oiiicer
In making the purchase.
It is deemed proper therefore, to state that
this department regards such transactions as
not warranted by the law, and that hereafter

Of 1 cent under Hayes, and reached its
minimum under Arthur, two.tenths Of 1

Can any government in tho world show
such q record AS this Probably it would
not be fair to claim superior personal
integrity for tho individual officers who
have had charge Of tho collection and
disbursement Of the revenues of
the government during the sue.
cessivo administrations Of tho ropub-
lican presidents, but tho system OF checks
and balances has been growing more
nearly perfect every year, and tho per.
petration of fraud is becoming more
difficult. The extension Of the civil
service caused by tho national debt
and tho payment of pensions and
tho enormous increase in collections
and disbursements, instead of add
ing to the annual loss from dishon-
esty, have diminished IL. Officers have
become more skilled in tho detection of
fraud, new safeguards have been devised,
and tho standard of intelligence and in.
togrity among tho subordinates is con.
stantly advancing. Now and then some
rascal manages to conceal theft by
forgery aud perjury, but tho amount of
loss through the dishonesty of officials is
infinitely small.
The following summary taken from Mr..
McPherson's statement shows the aggro.
gate receipts and the percentage of loss
during all the. administrations, from
Washington down, the fractional parts of
dollars being omitted

believe that the public temper is such
that the voters of the land are prepared to
support the party which gives best promise of
administering the government in the honest
simple, and plain manner which is consistent
with It's character and purposes.
Thus writes Grover Cleveland in his
letter accepting the democratic nomina-
tion for the presidency, He meant to
imply that the government is not being
administered in an "hone,t, simple, and
plain manner" aud that the people are
about to elect a democratic president, to
the end that the honesty aud simplicity
of former times may be restored.
When Gov. Cleveland wrote this let
ter he was enjoying tho seclusion of the
wood" and had probably not seen the
statement compiled from official sources
which is being sent out TO the country by
Hon. Edward Mcpherson, secretary Of
the republican congressional committee,
showing that there never has been such
scrupulous honesty in the collection and
disbursement Of the revenues of the
government since the adoption of the
constitution as there is at the present
time. Notwithstanding the enormous
increase in the receipts and expenditures
and the multiplied opportunities for
rescality, the per centage of loss, under
President Arthur's administration is
lower than ever before,
Tho loss on each $1,000 Of receipts
during Washington's administration was
$3.72. John Adams was man probably
no moro severe in his integrity than
Washington. but ho was more ox-
acting and withal better Judge OF
human nature. IIo brought the ratio of
loss down TO 81 cents on the 81, 900. Itwont
up under ,Tofierson, the original demo-
crat, to $2.65; fell back under James Madi-
son to Sl.lO, and then steadily advanced
until il attained its maximum under
Martin Van Buren-$5.53 on the 81 900.
This was the most corrupt and prolligate
administration in tho history of tho gov
ernmcnt.
Since Van Buren's timo the rate has

WASHINGTON GROVE, Aug. 20.-To-day the
usual round of services have been held. At
1890 the morning sermon was preached by
Rev. 2. 7. Brown D. D., from the text: by
night on my bed sought Him whom my soul
loveth," found in "Solomon's Songs" He
called the text n picture of repentance. The
lamentation at the close of this passage makes
the picture cOmplete-namely, 81 sought Him,
but found Him not" People who wish TO seek
the Lord may sorrow much because of their
conviction, but must perse,yere, and be willing
TO seek anywhere; as well In the silent hours
of the night, as in the crowded congregation,
or even upon the street.
The children's meeting was conducted by
Rev. II. S. France, of Grace church. Judging
from the happy faces of all the little ones when
he Is TO address them, Bro, France must be
eminently chlldren's man.
The regular afternoon preaching service was
led by Rev. Mr.. Herbert, of Annapolis, who
bringing his brother Simon TO Christ the text
being "And he brought him to the Lord"
The preacher said that God evidently intended
the saved to bring the unsayed to Him. II was
but natural for Christian heart to go out for
friends, that they may receive the same great
salvation. He closed by urging upon all Chris
vidual work.
There are no incidents of particular interest.

IhiiadGiphid Inquirer.
Score down to the credit of Horny
Watterson that he has openly denounced
the Blaine scandal, and that his paper
has pronounced it an unqualified false
hoos. Senator German has also referred
to the matter Ia terms showing unmis-
takably his contempt for tho introduction
of such weapons into political warfare.
The party zeal OF these gentlemen is we'll
known, and they will do all in their
power TO defeat Mr.. Blaine and TO elect
Mr.. Cleveland. As democratic politicians
enlisted for the fight 1t is their duty to
strain every nerve for their own organi-
zation. But while they believe in tho
flaming editorial aud the ringing stump
speech, they do not believe in crawling
through the mire Of calumny and win
ming success by trampling on woman's
fame. Gen. jackson sent Charles Dick
inson 10 his long account for an otionse
like that which has caused Mr.. Blaine
TO seek redress in the courts of law.
The honorable, manly democrats of tho
country, by which we mean the great ma
jority Of democratic voters. have no SYM
pathy for the scurrilous western sheet that
has invaded the sanctity of the hearth
stone. Political trickstors may bring up
scandals and forge signatures, but Ameri-
can citizens detest such proceedings. If
Senator Voorhees,, who lately honored
himself by an able defense of the sorely
tried James Mutt, condescends to plead
the cause of the indianapolis Sentinel he
will lose and not gain in reputation. We
have no doubt that, were the question
submitted to popular vote. every state
in the union would express its hope that
Mr. Blaine may silence his base enemies
and exact such damages as will terrify
every blackmailer In the country. The
democratic politicians who have insulted
their party by supposing that it is made
up Of scandal-mongers may suffer for their
criminal folly. 1t is TO be regretted that
| some republicans have taken unwarranta-
BILE liberties with the private life of Mr..
Cleveland, but, as the Courier Journal well
says, an attack on the reputation of one
man is far different from an assault calcu-
lated to destroy tho peace Of household. 4.
