Mr., George William Curtis, in his recent
address, had a good deal to say about pro
gress in civil service reform, and of the
divorce which has been decreed between
the government service and politics but
he would find it pretty hard to cite any
more distincl step in that direction in the
history of the new administration. than
the following passage from the circular
addressed by order of Republican presi-
dent to every person in the direct employ
OF the government under date uf June %.
1871:
No officer should be required or per
united to take part IN the management of
political organizations, CaIcuSeS, or elec-
ton campaigns. This rule Is applicable
TO every department of the civil service.
1t should be understood by every officer
OF the general government that he is cX-
pected to conform his conduct to its re-
qulrements.

According to II naval officer who has
been in South American waters for the
past fifteen years, and who has had a good
chance to get acquainted with the little
Spanish republics in that quarter of the
world, the United States are Heartily de
spiscd" by one and all of these petty ma
tions, because our government doesn't
make greater display of military and
naval power. The officials of the Gillian
government, lac says, openly declare that
their navy could destroy ours in II three
hours conflict, and that nothing would
please them better than chance to "loot"

know that there are some nations in the

The Westminster memorial service for
ten. Grant was remarkable event
probably without parallel in international
history 1t shows the deep and genuine
sympathy which exists, despite all hostile
memories and trifling diplomatic differ
ences between the two great English
speaking nations of the world. 1t is true
that General Grant was personally known
and honored in England; that his record
as a man and citizen, in some sense, of
the world, is stronger in England than his
record as great American general. And
yet, in honoring the memory Of our repre-
sentative citizen, England honors America
