MORE CIVIL SERVICE RE
FORM.

Yesterday mornings dispatches to
the Enterprise contain some very inter-
es,ing reading for the Mugwump sup
porters of the Civil Service Reform
policy of the new Administration.
On Thursday Secretary Manning ap-
pointed John O'Neil, Of Hoboken, NJ
T., Superintendent of Engraving and
Printing, vice George W. Caslear, re-
moved, There were no charges against
Caslear, and he feels somewhat sur
prised at his summary removal. he
has been employed in the Bureau many
years, and is considered one of the best
eneravers in the country. O'Neil was
formerly Mayor Of Hoboken.
On the same date, in compliance
with the request Of Secretary Manning,
Robert s. Widdecombe, Chief Of q
division in the Office of Auditor Of the
Treasury for the Postofice Department,
rendered his resignation, to take effect
on May Ist. 1t will be observed in this
case, also, that no cause is assigned.
In addition to the above. the dis
charges of fourteen foremen at Mare
Island have been mailed, and it il
asserted that Democratic successors
have been chosen to nearly all OF the
Republican Office holders in California
Of such is the much-vaunted Civil
Service Reform OF the Democracy.

BLAINE ON GRANT,

Writing Of General Grant, Mr.. Blaine,
in his "Twenty Years Of Congress,
says:
"General Grants active service in
the field closed with the surrender Of
Lee. All the commanders Of Confed-
crate forces followed the action OF their
Generaliin-C Chief, spd before the end OF
the month the armed enemies OF the
Union had practically ceased to exist.
The fame of General Grant was full.
He had entered the service with no fic-
titious advantages. and his promotion
from the 6rst to the last had been based
on merit alone--without the aid Of po-'
litical influence, without the interposi-
ton of personal friends. Criticism OF
military skill is but idle chatter IN The
face of an unbroken career OF victory,
aad General Grants campaigns have
varied in their requirements, and, but
for the fertility Of his resources and I'M
bending will, might often have ended
in disaster. Courage is as contagious
as fear, and General Grant possessed in
the highest degree that faculty which is
essential to all great communicable
faculty of imparting throughout the
rank and file Of his army the same de-
termination to win with which he was
always himself inspired.
some peculiarly of General Grants
military career was his constant readi.
ness to fight. He wished for no long
periods Of preparation; lost no oppor-
tunity which promptness could turn to
advantage. He.always accepted, with
out cavil or question, the position to
which he might be assigned. He never
troubled the War Department with re-
quests or complaints, and when injus-
tice was inflicted upon him he submit
ted silently and did a soldiers duty.
Few men in any service would have &C.
auiesced so quietly as did General
Grant when, at the close Of the remark
able campaign beginning at Fort Henry
and ending at Shiloh, he found himself
superseded by General Halleck. and as.
signed to a subordinate command, in an
army whose glory was inseparably asso-
ciated with his own name. Self-control
is the FIRST requisite for him who aims to
control others. In that indispensable
form Of mental discipline General Grant
exhibited perfection.
''When he was appointed Lieutenant
General, and placed in command Of all
the armies Of the Union, he exercised
military control over a greater number
Of men than any other General since the
invention Of firearms. In the cam
paigns Of 1864 and 1865, the armies of
the Union contained in the aggregate
not less than million Of men. The
movements Of all the vast forces were
kept in harmony by General Grants
comprehensive mind, and in the grand
consummation, which insured union and
liberty. his name became inseparably
associated with the true glory of his
country"

FOUR DOLLARS A DAY.

In referring to the recent mining
troubles at Eureka. the San Francisco
Post says:
SIT is not for unions. composed Of
sensible men. to attempt to keep wages
higher than the state of trade or the
condition Of affairs warrants. 1t is
their place to simply keep them where
they ought to be. Mining work is very
largely done with money levied by as.
sessments. The question the miners
unions have to consider is whether 81 a
day will kill the golden goose or whe-
ther the goose can stand it. The goose
could not stand it in Virginia City. 1t
may be able to stand it in Eureka.
Four dollars day is little enough for
the work miners have to do; but IL
stockholders cannot pay 1t, the miners
sometimes have to say whether they will
take So or nothing"
1t should not be a question as to
whether the poor miners can be forced
to submit to reduction, but an effort
should be made to have the rich Direc,
tors reduce their personal and Office ex.

THE PRINTERS ELECTION DAY.

To-day was election day for the members of

were opened at one O'Clock at The Craftsman
Office on d street. and will remain open until
eight o'clock this evening At one O'Clock many
compositors from the government printing office
and number from the "down town" offices
were ready to vote. The ballot boxes were
placed inside of The Craftsman office near a
window, which was open. The judges and
clerks sat near the window. The voter
as he came up passed by the window,
gave his name and handed id his ballot. A
clerk inside. who had printed list of members,
checked off the names of the voters so as to
prevent repeating" If any printer happened
to forget that he had already voted. The scene
about the polls looked very much like that
about the polls in old times on election day,
except that squads of voters were better
dressed, and better appearing in every way

female compOsitorS from the government
Office. They were brought to the polls in
four cabs and every courtesy was shown to
them. They were allowed to go inside the
office and deposit their votes, and thus avoided
the staring and quizzng OF the loungers who
