Wheeling hmtelti9encer,
Let us test the argument. Everybody
must have remarked how very little silver
there is IN circulation compared with the
quantity of paper currency-how rarely it
is paid out for wages or In trade. The
banks receive and pay out daily hundred
dollars IN paper for every dollar they pay
out in silver. II Is obvious that paper.
being the baser currency, is driving out
silver.
SO, according 10 that reasoning, silver is
certainly better than greenbacks or bank
notes.

c.vil.service Reform

AT the request Of a clergyman oi thi'
city we reproduce this morning what Nj.
.JosErH Cook had TO say recently on the
suldec, Of ciyil-seryice reform. Mr.. Cook
talks IS much about matters that he know
nothing about as he does on subjects VITA
winch be is familiar. Boston b., pe,ted
him ill she has spoiled him.
There are two sides TO this question OF
so-callod oiyIl.seryicc reform. The Lns'
ilsb system carries pensions along with It.
II we adopt IL. we must take It. ~ the law
yers say. cvm oaere. We shall. IN That
event. have 10 pension q hundred thousand
surersnnuafed and disabled officials. In
advocating tenure of Office during good be-
ba,ior, Mr.. GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS and
Others tell us that no person IN business
turus Of hls clerks and tskes new ones once
IN four years. He keeps them rs long n
he can. Nor do such persoGs pension their
disabled and superannuated employs.
Another consideration The incumbent'
of Office are now known 10 be Republicans
not simply Republicans, but bitter partl-
s1ns. ought Democratic Administration
10 keep iis enemies in office! Arcthey not
honestly and heartily opposed to Demo
critic men and measures. Would II not
be fsrer, and seem more Ike real reform,
70 start the work Of ciyil-servicc reform by
dividing the offices equally between the
Democrats and the Republicans Ii i
little too much Of good thing 10 lei all the
Officers be Republicans under a Republican
Administration, and continue in Office IN
der Democratic Administration.
Again: Mr. ARTHUR advocates civil
service reform and claims TO have executed
The law in that behalf. And YET we know
that almost every Government Office In Nir-
M,HosE. There are hundreds upon hun
dreds Of Federal officials III this State who
were put into Office upon his recommends.
ficn. Are these men TO remain in Office
We shall be told that the law on the SUBJECT
does not apply to these Officials. But the
reason OF It does. II toe law Is good one.
these officials OF General SAHOSE's selec-
ton ought 10 be allowed to continue in
Office.
Once more; There Is nothing TO prevent
the Republicans from repealirg when they
get into power againany law that the Demo
crsts might now pass or that Is already upon
the statute-book.
We repeat it, there are two sides to this
que stlon. II il difficult problem to solve.
that OF securing the most efficient service
from pubic officers. What the Virginia
Bill Of Rights says rs to "frequent cleo
ticns" would seem to be equally sound
doctrine IL applied to appointive officers.
Resides. IL is well to get a look at the books
once in while. A new broom sweeps
clean. We shall have to receive more light
before we can see the subject ~ il presents
itself TO 30 many Of the best men in the United
Staie-. We close by saying that no one
knows better than we the real worth and
sincerity and high character Of the men
who advocate civil-servicc reform.
