CIVIL service reform is practical i'm
possibility and for ages will not be able TO
compete with the principle $50 it may be
called that "to the victor belong the
spoils. Every question connected with
governmental affairs is subordinated to
the leading one of distribution of patron
age. The republican press watches only
the appointments made by the admins
tration and thinks naught else deserving
of criticism and notice. The democratic
press contents itself with defending or
applauding. Even the mugwumps, in
telligent as they are, unselfsh as they
try to be, are carried away by the pre-
vailing passion and discuss appointees.
After all it is human nature. Posterity
might do something more than discuss
reform; this generation cannot practice
it. And it is foolish to believe all
political virtue belongs to any party.
The democrats came to power with not
democrat in office; when they sur
render the scepter none but democrats
will be on guard

The Sentinel excuses the appointment
of Mosby, Longstreet and Key by repub-
lican administrations to important federal
Offices, on the ground that these persons
had become republicans and thus gave
the strongest possible evidence that they
had renounced the opinions which the
rebellion was designed to maintain. >
This is q frank statement of what The
Sentinel considers tests of loyalty to
the union. Will it now continue its
frankness and answer a few questions
Let it not be done in any controversial
spirit, but simply with the desire to dis
cover truth and submit TO it.
l. When did Mr.. Key become a re-
publican?
2. Is the sincerity of a sudden con-
version open to suspicion when a reward
follows closely upon change of faith?
3. Did prominent members of the re-
publican party ever counsel a dissolution
of the union if slavery were not abolished?
4. Was secession advocated by Sec
ton of the United States which in later
years claims to be ''the most truly loyal?"
5. What peculiar interest have the
southern states now which can be pro-
NOTED by disloyalty?
6. Are we a nation or discordant fac
tions2
Quite number of questions, but their
discussion may be of more interest to
The Sentinel readers than comments
upon the removal of post-masters by the
present administration.

GENERAL GRANT is now beyond the
reach of political animosities and the
people whom he served Loyalty and well
will do him full justice. To deny him
great qualities would be to defy the
truths of history. General Grant rose
from obscurity through his merit with
out being spurred forward by selfish
ambition. Promotion seemed to have
no other effect upon him than to call
forth powers to perform the greater
duties which advancement imposed
Grant seemed to have no cause of COM
plant but it was because he used the
means he had to best advantage and
wasted no time in useless murmurs. He
had to contend with jealousies as all men
whose reputation is growing have, and
with all the drawbacks incident to sub.
ordinate position, but he was not fault
finder. Perhaps there are few who be-
lieve he was a great strateglst, but his
indomitable persistency, his memorable
directness were more than strategy, and
his devotion gave him unfailiug trust in
himself. Until he fell into the hands of
politicians he furnished splendid ex-
ample of magnanimity. The obscure
tanner became the leading man of the
nation, but the hight did not make him
giddy. SO intent vas he in performing
the stupendous task set before him that
he gave no thought to his wonderful ele-
walton and the simplicity of the soldier
gave him grandeur.
Had he never become president, he
would be one of the grandest figures of
history. But the soldier was forced to
become a politician. The suavity of the
politician couceals or softens his guile.
But when the hard front of military
habit forces its way into the political
arena it becomes extremely distasteful to
free people. The magnanimity of Cen
eral Grant to Lees army is in striking
contrast to the treatment of the south by
President Grant when he executed the
orders of politicians. In later years he
ceased to be partisan and his good
sense directed his actions and dictated
his sentiments, and he again became the
admiration of the people. During the
last few years of his life he was not the
leader of faction and people have for
gotten everything but his splendid
services. It is not party mourning a
leader, It is a nation weeping for valued
son.

The Prairie du Chen Courier is not

The Prairie du Chen Courier is not
satisfied with the manner in which dem
ocratic editors are treated by the present
administration in the matter of appoint
ments. 1t quotes republican paper
which exults over the failure of editors
to ''get there in the following language:
''This is very discouraging to certain
dead beat democratic editors who have
for few months been reveling in the
idea of feathering their nests with official
plumber" The Courier thinks the fail
ure to properly recognize the "patient,
handwriting publishers of democratic
journals may prove discouraging and
disastrous to political organizations" y
500! Then the patient fellows did
work for themselves only while pretend
ing to be actuated by interest in the prin.
ciples of the party. 1t was a scramble
for spoils and the patient hardworking
publishers had their opinions dictated
by hope of reward. The Courier con-
tlnues lugubrlously that this treatment
Fought to afford a valuable lesson to
host of veteran democrats who have de-
voted more time to secure democratic
success than they have to their own pc
cuEiary business interests" If such
persons are taught a lesson, then glory
to the administration. If there be any
man deserving OF contempt, unfit to
occupy any position of trust, aud load
on the party whose principles he pretends
to champion, it is the editor who neglects
his own ''pecuniary business interests"
and thinks he is entitled to office for his
folly. Such a mercenary sheet has no
influence, and its editor is a loud mouth
ed offensive politician.

A soREHEAD from Shawano writes The
Sentinel relative to jennings appoint
ment and shows that he is an ass and a
bigot. There can be no doubt that the
move to appoint a man who is Catholic
to the position would have created no
unfavorable comment, if it was not for
the extreme arrogance of the clergyman
at the reservation who threatened to array
Catholics politically against any man who
secured the appointment to the agency
of man not Catholic. This naturally
caused storm of indignation as it should.
Catholics felt that the priest was assum-
ing great deal in making such incon-
siderate and impudent threats. But the
Shawano sorehead says Mrs. General
Sherman secured the appointment of
Jennings because he is Catholic, and
that Mrs. Sherman being very ardent
Catholic the appointment is asked be-
cause SIT is intended to be used for the
benefit of the Catholic church." 1t is in
exceeding bad taste to ask an appoint
ment on the ground of religion; it is
equally so to criticise it on that ground
and the squad newspaper writer from
Shawano has no more knowledge that
Mrs. Sherman interested herself in Jen-
ning's behalf, or her motives if she did,
than he has of propriety. If it be true
that Jennings has been prosecuted in the
district court for selling liquor to Indians,
he is unfit for the position. But the
clergyman who threatens to use religious
societies as political engine of destruct-
ion and the newspaper correspondent
who criticises Mrs. Sherman because she
is a Catholic should be sent ON a voyage

The appointment of Jennings to be
Indian agent, seems to be the work of
Postmaster General Villas, and it was
made not only without the recommends
ton of Congressman Bragg and Rankin,
but with their recommendation of anoth-
er man on file. 1t may be that Mr.
Villas has had nothing to do with it and
possibly the appointment is one that may
reflect credit upon the person to whom
it is due. Jennings it is said, has been
a saloon keeper, and it has been charged
that he sold liquor to Indians. This
may not be great crime, though it
would hardly be such recommendation
as candidate for that position would
like to present.

DEAR SIR:-The Minnesota Chief Sep
orator and Horse Power which we bought
of you in 1888, works to our entire salts
faction in every respect. We would
therefore recommend it to every one con-
templating buying Threshing Machine,
to buy no other than the above mention
ed machine, as we have had other ma
chimes on trial, such as the Springfield,
which our ten horses (neither horse
weighing less than 1900 pounds) We
could not get up speed enough to thresh
any kind of grain, while the Minnesota
Chief runs easy for the teams, threshes
more grain and cleans it better than any
other machine we know of.

A SEA serpent, or what is believed to
be fair sample of sea serpent, was
towed into Portland, Maine, lately. 1t
was caught by some sailors after it was
beaten into comparatively harmless
condition. 1t seems to be a cross be
tween snake and turtle, and is cover
ed with coat of mail. The "sarpent"
has recovered from its beating and is
almost too lively for comfort.

An attempt was made last Saturday to
rob the express train which left River
Falls. A box containing the robber was
expressed from that place, but the con-
dtctor became suspicious of it and so
piled lot of blue berries upon it in
such way that the robber could not get
out. When Elroy was reached the box
was taken out on the platform and the
robber exposed.

WIEN the cattle men are finally driven
out of the Indian Territory there need
no longer be fears of Indian outbreaks at
that place. These poor people are
goaded to desperation by white specu-
lators who hope to profit by killing the
Indians off, General Sheridan telegraphs
that the '1ndian irritation is caused by
bad control and oppressive measures. "
Let the Indian be treated Justly and he
will live peaceably.
