grayely jeopardize the chances of his return
to Parliament by his constituency. The

addresses in the Liberal campaign, and this is
the reason of his return to- public life at this
time instead of waiting until after the trial of

REFORM IN INDIANA.
The Movement for the Formation of a Civil
Service League.
Philadelphia Times (Dem.)

Philadelphia Times (Dem)
A movement is now in progress among the Re-
publlcans OF Indiana having for its purpose the
formation OF State civll-service reform league.
The leaders who favor the project are well known
In Indiana politics, and include such men
Governor Porter and State Senator Foulke As
yet only the initiatory steps have been taken,
but sentiment on the subject is expected to crys
talllze before very great while. and public
meeting will be held to discuss the project at
some time during the coming month. 1t is
apparent, from the views of Governor Porter.
published In the Indianapolis Journal, that while
the prospective organization will take adj
vanced ground, it yet proposes to indorse the
merit system entirely.
1t is not at all surprising to see the Democracy
thus outgeneraled in a State that is very neces-
sary to the Democratic party in the contest for
supremacy. Had they been possessed OF only or
binary sagacity they would have placed them
selves in a line with the policy of the President
and given him the support to which he was en-
titled in view OF the conditions of his candidacy.
Instead of that, however, the leaders have been
pleased only to devote themselves to the distri-
button of Offices The rewarding of henchmen
has taken the place of an honest Advancement of
the civlservlce standard and as consequence
there has been an appropriation of what ought to
have been lmpregnable Democratic positions by
the no more honest but shrewder opposition
An honest reform of the public service, both
as regards its administration in the State and
the country at large, is only question of time.
The party that moves furthest in the direction
of securing this result will be the least handi-
capped in the next national contest. That the
people are determined to exile the methods
which once prevailed is certain The Republic
an leaders appreciate this and their appreciation
takes no impractical form.
Whether the Democracy shall prove that it is
not incapable of learning SO simple lesson re-
mains as yet to be seen but Its own worst
enemies could not ask for more stupendous
bunders its part than those which they
seem in danger of committing in every State
where the sDOilsmen still rule The way to win
success now is to deserve it.
