Director of the Mint contains the replies from
foreign governments to the interrogatories pro-
regard to the coinage, production, and none

been during the calendar year: Gold, $685. 00O-
600, and silver, circulated in most cases at it's
coming value. at $l15, 900, 900. This is an in
crease of about 81 100000 on the production of
1883 in gold, and falling off of about the same
amount In silver but is falling off of $4 500.-
600 in gold from the calendar year 1882, and an.
increase Of about the same amount in silver. So
far as advices have been received coinage was
executed in eighteen countries of the world,
amounting in round numbers, to nearly $I0,-
600 in gold and 800, 600, 900 in silver. AS
heretofore, the United States has been the larg-
est coner of both metals. The coinage of gold

preparations for the Mint service for the next
fiscal year over $210. 900, as compared with the
estimates for the present year, and over $75, 600

THERE is no quarrel between the President

partisan ends. and certain Democrats are do
ing the same thing for personal ends. They
will not succeed.-New Albany Ledger.
CONGRESSMAN BYNUM has accomplished
more for his Democratic friends in obtaining
appointments than any Indiana Representa-
tive. He has obtained twelve appointments
in the railway male service, six of whom sue
ceeded by removals. He has obtained ten
places in the revenue department, one clerk,
one messenger and four places in the custom
service. He has had our Postmaster, Mr..
Bone, removed and Mr.. Major appointed;
besides. he has succeeded in getting nearly
every fOurth-class Postmaster in this district
removed and Democrats appointed in their
places. He has not taken a days vacation
since the 4th of March except the Fourth of
July, and has always been in his Office when
not in Washington aiding his Democratic
friends. This, we think, is an excellent
showing for Mr.. Bynum, and one that we
should all feel proud of.-Shelby Democrat.
WHEN the Pendleton civil service was I'M
der consideration and finally enacted into
law, it was distinctly stated that the meas
ure was intended for an experiment, not a
finality; that no one thought it was possible
to accomplish the desired object by the first
undertaking. Time has demonstrated that
the civil service law contains many objec
tionable features, and that Il stands in great
need of remodelin.g The most Objectionable
feature, perhaps is the fact that it virtually
makes three Civil Service Commissioners
the appointing power so far as clerkships
in the several departments are concerned.
Such a provision is wholly indefensible, as
recent events have demonstrated. No such
power should be conferred upon men like
Donovan b. Eaton and Professor Gregory
neither of whom can fairly be considered
properly qualified to yield such extraordina-
ry power. Both are mere theorists. Unless
the law shall be declared unconstitutional
between this and the next session of Con-
gress, the probabilities are that very for
midable movement will be inaugurated for
its repeal. Or, on failure to bring about that
result the commissioner may he smothered
by withholding an appropriation for the
the maintenance of that now thoroughly
odious institution. "-Ligonier Banner.

THE POSTMASTER.

The New York sun shines very clearly up
on the recent investigation of Postmaster
Jones. 1t says: cone result of the investi-
CATION of Mr.. Aquilla Jones, Postmaster at
indianapolis, which the President ordered on
certain charges preferred by so-called civil
service reformers, is to expose the manner in
which the Indianapolis patronage was appro-
priated by the Republicans.
There are over eighty clerks and other
persons employed in that Postoffice and in
its outdoor work When Mr. Jones took
possession he found only one Democratic
voter in the whole number of employees.
His Republican predecessor had prescribed
Democrats. He had put the brand OF ex-
clusion upon them, following the rule in
the Departments at Washington and in all
the principal and the inferior offices through
out the country, which proclaimed in
principle that none but Republicans should
be put on guard. This prescription had
been in practice for nearly a quarter of a
century.
''Mr. Jones has made about twenty changes
in his office, or one-fourth of the whole
force. He has given these places, very prop
erly and naturally to Democrats who are
capable and deserving, and who heretofore
have had no chance of recognition.
The accusers of Mr.. Jones evidently did
not understand the law for an alleged viola
ton of which they arraigned him. He dis
missed two subordinates for sufficient cause
in his own view but without making any
charges against them. The reformers COM
plain that these dismissals were an Offense
against the civil service act, which the Presi-
dent ought to punish.
''They were ignorant that the power of re-
moval is untouched by the act, which con-
Germs itself simply with the modes of ap-
pOintment in certain cases. Therefore, the
complaint which is the foundation of the at
tack on Postmaster Jones is wholly absurd
This case illustrates the methods of a set
of politicians who, wearing the mask of re-
form, are striving to give life tenure 20 an
army of Republican officeholders, and to
shut out Democrats from the public honors
and trusts which 5000, 900 of voters decided
they should enjoy.
''The charges against Mr.. Jones will proba-
bly, fall to the ground. They never had any
sufficient basis"

THE COMMISSION REPORTS.

The Civil Service Commission made its re-
port Yesterday to the President in reference
to the charges against Postmaster Jones. and
also to those regarding the Local Examining
Board. The Commission declares that the
Postmaster has not made any appointments
or removals in violation of any provision of
the civil service act or rules The
Local Board is also exonerated from
all charges of unfairness, discrimination or
injustice. The commission regards the ac-
ton of the examiners creditable to their in
teligence and sense of justice, and adpits
that there is no occasion to disturb the re-
suits of their examination. What now be-
comes of the rot of the Republican papers
in regard to the Vice Presidents relations to
this case? He has been charged with entering
into sort of conspiracy with the Postmaster
whereby an issue was to be forced upon the
President and if the decision of the COM
mission was unfavorable, then the Democratic
party OF Indian headed by Mr.. Hendricks,
were TO be arrayed in war paint, and with TOM
ahawll in hand, they were to seek Mr.. Cleve-
lands scalp. Perhaps it will now dawn upon
the sensation and scandal mongerS that they
have made donkeys of themselves.

SPIRIT OF THE STATE PRESS.

The Republican issue for the past twenty
years has been that the g. o. p. saved the
country and freed the slaves, and that if the
Democrats got control of the Government
they would pay off the rebel debt, stop the
pensions of Union soldiers, and pension the
Confederate soldiers. The Times is glad to
know that the G. o. p. grand old partly has
a new issue-to pension the rebel soldiers
Upton Times.
THAT is poor civil service reform which
proposes to keep in office the men whose
worthlessness and disreputable conduct
rnade such a reform necessary. The first
step toward an honest reform OF the civil
srrvice is a clean sweep OF the officeholders
who owe their appointment TO their aIIegi-
ance to the party which the people have
declared by their votes to be no longer
worthy of confidence or trust.-Seymour
Democrat.
The Richmond Daily Enquirer is also the
only Democratic daily paper in the Con-
gressional District To think of Demo
cratic daily paper being a success in the old
Burnt District is a sore affection to tho Re
publicans. and one that must be removed.
BY some means this inroad upon the sacred
Republican soil must be repulsed. Hence
even Tom Browne is seen to figure in the
fight. Tom says to the Republicans that
this Democratic ipterloper must be squelched.
