1t had so earnestly opposed, when that
support lost its control OF the patron
age OF New York city, to now make
thai loss the foundation of predic-
ton that tho organization is slain.
No loss of FedeIal patronage, and no
failure of presidential recognition OF
its magnanimity, can hurt an associa-
ton which has testified by its deeds
that it holds it's Democracy as above
price, pure, honest and undetiled.-

CLEvELAND's CABRIoLET.
President Cleveland has q new turn
out-no play being intended on the gen
eral turnout of rascals which is so
patiently waited throughout the coun-
try. This is the new Queen cabriolet
built for him in New York. Accor-
ding to the description tho body of
the vehicle is painted black with green
stripping, the running-gear dark-green
striped with black, Ii is finished in
dark green morocco and cloth. The
box is built with raised seats for
coachman and footman. The gem
eral effect is quiet but very rich look
ing The seal-brown bays will be
driven to it, This Is not the kind of
vehicle that Thomas Jefferson would
have driven around Washington in,
but they didn't know much about pei
sonal and physical comfort In Thorn
as day New York World.
HOW CIVIL SERVICE REFORM WORKS
The case of young Mr.. Harley, of
Queen Anne's County, illustrates how
civil service reform works when adj
ministered by Republicans. Mr.. Har-
ley is a Democrat, a fresh college
graduate, and bright young lawyer,
who made application TO the Civil
Service Commission for examination
for the postal service, He made the
highest record among all who were
examined at that time-over So in q
possible 100. His name was sont four
times to MIR. Adreon, the postmaster
NJ Baltimore, but every time Mr..
AdreOn passed him by and appointed
Republican with lower eXamina-
ton record, and Mr.. Harley was then
ruled of the list OF eligibles because
he had been rejected four times! For
tunat9ly, Mr.. Neasey was able to cor
rect the injustice that had been done
to Mr., Harley. We have not observed
that the civil service journals which
come TO this Office have ever made
any comments in tina case OF Mr. Har-
ley Easton Ledger.
Sky BLUE COFFINs.
A popularity Of funerals in Lincoln,
Me-, is exciting unreasonable intoler-
ant comments. Lincoln is q village
on the bank of the PenobBcot River.
The Gazetteer says il contains two
churches; but there seems TO be only
one undertaken for both congrega-
tons, and correspondent Of the
Lewiston (Me.) Journal AYERS that he
has propagated such prejudice
against black among the inhabitants
that "nearly all the people who have
died there during the last ten years
have been buried in Colored coffins.n
"Light blue" ne says, ais the favorite
tint Tor children, and orange for old
people," and he describes the front
OF this aesthetic under aker's shop
as covered with patches OF paint Of
divers colOrs for mourners 10 make
their choice. This is queer, if it Is
true; but if it suits the tasta of the
people OF Lincoln, why should it be
censured by other people? There is
nothing blasphemous or harmful
about IT, New York Herald.
FREE TRADE.
Tho effort TO restrict commerce, to
tax 1t and turn il from It's natural
channels; the effort to interfere with
Inc freedom OF trade precipitated the
revolution. In Eurbpe custom

each had its tariff and exsctions were
levied, not only for protection, but for
plumber. That was the European
ideai rsDudiat9d In America at the
time OF the adoption of the Constitu-
ton. In America We have free trade

new territory added Ia our dominion

Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Cali

tied from Spain and France, disap-

trade between the States, and TO this
a. much as 10 free suffrage and free
press, to this IS much as 10 demo
