Ofllcial Reforms.

New York Telegraph.
"Rcform is necessary" A platform plati-
tude voices u public need. Public scnti-
ment sometimes enforces n pretense of vir-
tue, Its practice is unpalatable to the aver
age politician. Yet the times require APP
parent acquiescence. 1t is amusing to oh
serve the reform spasm Of each recurring
change of official administration. II no more
than change from one set OF incumbents
to another of the same party, some show of
"reform" Is found to be "necessary," A
slight change of method is heralded us re-
form, and the event is duly celebrated by
the usual quantum of vigorous newspaper
cackling. Often the result Is an i'm
material difference, frequently II doubt
full advantage sometimes positive step
backward. Not unfrequently the next
batch of officials restore the statu quo, with
the same exhibition of reformatory eXulta-
ton. The present administration is out
doing its predecessors In the ingenuity OF
its journalistic record Of attempted re-
forms; It is to he hoped that it will prove
the reality Of their basis. 1t is quite certain
that the public mind is in no humor to toll
crate hollow pretense Of reform, and that it
is sufficiently enlightened to detect II sham
and expose n humbug. The great Ameri-
can republic is disposed to concede gra-
ciously confidently presented claim of
superior virtue, but is very much inclined
to watch the claimants with lynX-eyed Wig
lance all the same.

Use Ayers

Hair Vigor. It stimulates and clennses

By its use, falling hair is checked. and

Chivalry In Texas.

A number of heightened gentlemen
down at Mount Pleasant, Tex, have just
lynched an inpecunious negro named Ben
jamn Little, who, in the smallness Of his
nature, robbed white man of $l,G5 and
slandered respectable white family"
The Islander that poor negro could set on
foot could hardly have been enough To
merit capital punishment, but the gentle
men of Texas are not only chivalrous but
serious-minded. Some of them have been
known to kill a fellow-being for cracking a
ho fnln

Interesting Figures.

In the census year 1880 foreign products
to the value of about $460, 000, 900 were i'm,
ported at the port of New York, for con,
sumption throughout the United States, by
small number of merchants, employing a
few hundreds of clerks and laborers.
In that same year there were within ten
miles of the New York city hall lS,50u
shops and factories turning out an annual
product of SS00,0O0,000, and giving direct
employment to 100000 men and women.
From these figures we can understand
why New York is the headquarters of
foreign free trade agitation. But we can.

THE Philadelphia Inquirer regrets that
President Cleveland could not make his
civil service acts consistent with his civil
service professions, and remove no efficient
public officer for political reasons, hut he
could not; he turned out the Republicans
and put in Democrats. He did, however,
for all the chief offices in Philadelphia select
good Democrats, men of ability and integ-
rity, and none of them offensive partisans.
Their responsibility is extremely offensive
in the estimation of good many thoI-
sand Democrats in the Quaker City,

If the next House Of Representatives fol-
lows the example Of the last, most of its
days will be consumed in deciding what
bills are to be taken up. In other words,
it will devote each day to determining what

scribe them. 1t would be an improvement
