Civil Service sRefOrnl as
IT ShOuif Be.

1t Should Be.
Mr.. Charles Rose has inaugur.
ated a character of reform in Lo.
gan which entirely meets with
the civil service ideas Of all his
friends, regardless Of politics.
Primarily, Charley believes in
the good old Jacksonian princi-
pie, so popular among the rock
ribbed, copper-bottomed Demo-
Gratis and naweaters Of his kind,
that "to the victor belongs the
spoils." But he also believes and
practices his belief, that after the
spoils have been given u their
legitimate owner, the victor
should out of his abundance share
generously with his friends.
This is civil service reform as
it shonld be. This is the civil
service reforms that obtains
among HaWeaters, and it meets
with no objection from political
friend or politicalsfoe, 1t is ac-
cepted unanimously as the true
and proper:,heory on this much
mooted question.
Thus was it on Tuesday even
ing, when a host of good men,
representatives alike of both po-
litical parties and of every busi-
ness and profession Of our town.
together with numerous distin-
suished visitors from abr Dad,
met, upon invitation. at the plea
ant home of our new Democratic
Postmaster. and accepted Of his
bounteous and generous hospital
ity. The elegant repast, the
cheerful host, the pleasant en-
tertainment and delightful com
pany. all conspired to renew and
enhance the high appreciation in
which Mr.. Rose has always been
held, as a public spirited citizen,
an excellent neighbor and an
earnest friend. Such men de-
serve place and preferment, and
their victories are accepted by
even their former adversaries in
the best spirit and as proper re-
coKnition of personal excellence
and party and political worth.
No more delightful social event
has occurred in the history of our
town. and though it wa, rather
in the nature of the celebration
of Democratic triumph, yet the
presence of the outgoing Post
master and leading representa-
tives of his party, demonstrated
that the inevitable is recog-
nized by them without bitterness
and without malice to those who
accept the trusts that a change
in the political complexion of
the Government has taken from
them.
Mr.. Rose will doubtless give
the same satisfaction as a public
official as he does as an enterplis-
ing citizen, and as he does as So
cial entertainer. and in the latter
capacity we can attest he has no
superior.
The supper was one of the most
elegant. The substantials of eve
ry day life. as we'll as the novel
ties of the season were in lavish
abundance, prepared with taste
and skill, a-d served with cour-
tesy that gave relish and appe-
tite to the guests.
Mrs. Rose, to whom the credit
of the banquet is due. was as
sisted in serving the warriors and
at the feast by her
sisters, Mrs. Mccarthy, Miss Cad
Murphy, and by Mrs. J. B. Butin
and Miss Jennings. To these
ladies we are under obligations
for many pleasant and polite at
and with all the COM
pany to them and to Mr.. Rose
we tender the wish that many
more such pleasant company |
shall meet, and that We may all
be there.
The "Bix Six" Logan Band
complimented Mr.. Rose and his |
with a serenade.
Among the distinguished guests
from abroad were Judge Silas II.
Wright of Lancaster, Col. Hull,
Representative of Allen county,
Col. w. A. Taylor, Col. Allen o.
Movers, Of North America.
