IDEAL REFORM.
The Real Meaning OF Honest Civil-Servict
Reform.

The Real Meaning OF Honest Civil-Servjce
Reform.
Mr.. Everett p. Wheeler, of New
York, Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee of the Civil-Service Association,
has written letter in reply to the enc
of Mr.. Lynde Harrison, Chairman of
the Republican State Committee OF
Connecticut
He believes ''the removal of or fail
ure to reappoint competent Republican
officers by the President has not in
jured the cause of Civil-Service reform,
because one of Mr.. Cleveland's duties
was TO redress the wrong that hat
been done to one-half the people of this
country by their uniform exclusion
from holding office under the Federal
Government Mr.. Wheeler, in this
statement, shows himself to be man
of large common sense, as We'll as an
honest Civil-Service reformer, the last.
unfortunately for the good cause, Not
always being the first also.
There are class of Civil-Service re-
formers who contend that in reforming
the civil service no attention should be
paid to the fact that for twenty-four
years all the offices, with trifiing excep-
tious, have been held by Republicans,
a fact which more than any other de-
termined the necessity OF genu ne re-
form. For the last general on one-half
the people have been excluded from of
flee for no reason other than they were
Democrats. Because they were Demo-
Gratis they have been branded all these
years as unworthy to hold offices of
trust and honor under their own Gov
eminent.
There could not have been a more
deadly assault upon fair and honest
civil service than this, and yet there
are lot of fantastical reformers who
would have had President Cleveland ac-
cept the civil service precisely as he
found it, and so carry it on that, there
after as Heretofore. Democrats should
be barred out. There could have been
no exception save in case of death, the
same theory which forbade the removal
of Republicans compelling their reap
pointment if competent. The President
did not feel disposed to allow all his
party friends to wait for dead men 8
shoes, but proceeded to redress tae
wrong done them, but in so moderate
a manner aS to surprise his opponents
and annoy some of his friends
After the civil service is reformed it
will be no difficult matter to keep it so,
but there could be 10 reform in it so
long as Democrats were practically ex-
Guided from office. WASHINGTON Post.

An Important Matter.

Now that the evenings are grow
ing longer and the farmer finds
time for reading more and for plan
ming for the future. we should be
glad to know that the home garden
is receiving a proper share of atten-
ton. OF late years there has been
a notable improvement in the gar
dens of many farmers, but there are
still very many who need an infu-
sion of enterprise in this direction.
When we speak of the home gar
den we mean to include supply of
small fruits as well as vegetables of
the various sorts.
One of the commonest faults in
gardens is that of being too small
and so arranged that almost all the
work must be done by hand. Little
gardens two, three or four rods
square, compactly fenced in are
very common. This is a most in
convenient shape The garden
should oblong, say three times as
long as it is wide. and should be
generally fully double the area Of
those that now prevail. By making
it this shape and by making the
end fences portable so that they
can be removed in q few minutes,
the great bulk of the work can be
done with the horse. Peas, beans,
tomatoes, corn, cabbage potatoes,
beets, ETC., can thus sll be cultivat-
ed with a horse. A wide-awake

How a Wife Should be Treated.

Only let woman know that she
is precious to her husband-not
useful, not valuable, not conven-
lent, simply, but lovely and below
ed; let her be the recipient of his
polite and hearty attentions; let her
feel that love is noticed, appreci-
ated and returned; let her opinion
be asked, her approval sought, and
her judgment respected IN matters
of which she is cognizant; in
short, let her only be loved, honor
ored and cherished, in fulfillment
of the marriage VOW, and she will be
to her husband, and her children,
and society, well-spring of pleas
ure. She will bear toll, and pain,
and anxiety; for her husbands love
is to her "a tower and fortress.
Shielded and sheltered therein, adj
versity will have lost its sting. She
may sugar, but sympathy may dull
the edge of sorrow. A house with
love in it-and by love, we mean
love expressed by words, and looks,
and deeds, for we have not one
spark of faith in the love that never
crops outs as person to a ma
chine; the one is life, the other
mechanism.

What is Proft2

We are too apt to measure sue
cess or failure in anything underta-
ken solely by the cash returns
which it brings. In some things
this may be fair, as for instance in
a special investment outside of
ones regular occupation, or in
something foreign to ones daily
life. But this is no just measure
in the true sense of the word, in
other connections. The amount of
surplus cash the farmer may have
at the end of the year. His entire
living has been profit, as also has
been every comfort his industry has
enabled him to enjoy-every pleas
ure and every good afforded to his
family-every bit of satisfaction
derived from his labor-every i'm
provement in appearance or value of
his farm and buildings hundred
things not enumerable. All these
go to make up profit, and the cash
surplus to any apprecis BILE eonsid-
GRAFTON in comparison with these
things.
Let us get above and outside of
the idea ofworking for money alone.
Accumulate if you can, but for the
sake OF yourself and everything you
reverence and respect, do not, by
worshipping it, and making its ac-
qulrement the end of all labor,
make the dollar curse instead of
the blessing 1t should become.
Farmers need, as much as any
other class of men, to guard against
setting up this false idea of profit
in their minds-and in no class

c. E. Dupler. aged thirty-four years, of
Equality, Illinois, had been affected with
a chronic catarrh which he first discov-
cred six years ago. In succession he lost
his smell, taste and hearing. The disease
was SO malignant that it not only attacked
the softer parts, but destroyed the bony
partition Of the nose and seriously affected
the external parts. He could only hear a
watch ticking by holding it close to his
ear. He suffered intense pain in the nose,
from which green, dry clots of offensive
odor fell. In this condition he presented
himself to DR.. Hartman several months
ago. He can now hear watch eight
inches from his right and six inches from
his left ear. His taste and smell are again
returning, and the external part of the
nose is quite well. Few more grateful

Of time,) this lady had cramps, the most
fearful, of the stomach, every day and

terrible weakness, which was something

of this lady was indescribable and almost

and medicines had failed, and all hope
had almost fed. DIR. Hartman was con-

his PERUNA, the cramps and all bad

Sherman or Thurman.

man, Allen G.. Thurmsn There is
some reason to believe that, rather
than see John Sherman elected,
enough republicans would vote for
Judge Thurman to elect him. AT
least one republican member has
been heard to say that he would
rather see Thurman in the senate
than John SheI man. 1t would
only require two republican votes,
added to the democratic vote, to
make Judge Thurman senator

will do more and better work in
garden of this shape planted with
reference to the work, in three hours,
than he could do without the horse
in three days.
The matron who presIdes over
the family is most directly interest
ed in having a good garden. She
must arrange for the bill of fare
three times each day and every day
in the year. No one who has not
tried it knows or has even a faint
idea of the perplexity and worry
she has in this direction when she
has not the resources of first class
garden at her command. The farm
er and his family need the garden
as a means of conserving their
health and so there should be a
harmony of interest and aim in this
dire ction. Let the matron call a
meeting of the committee of the
whole and during these long even
ings lay the garden before them.
Let it be discussed in all its bear
iugs and n definite campaign for
the summer marked out. The re-
sources of a garden such as may so
easily be arranged by any farmer,
will surprise him and delight his
wife Outside of its benign effect
upon the family health, it will pay
larger dividends in practical results
than any other spot on the farm.
No farmer can afford to neglect this
important matter and if any are SO
disposed, we hope the woman OF
the house will read him sundry and
divers curtain lectures on the sub
ject, continuing until the desired
reform is effected. We shall speak
again upon this matter.-Farm

England IS noted for producing
better horses, says an exchange,
than the continent simply because
her breeders invariably reject those
animals which are defective in the
required good points. French
breeders act on the fallacy of seek
ing a good entire, but they say
"the mare is indifferent; she is a
sack; if gold is put in, gold will
come out" Feeding, locality, and
judicious selection of parents on
both sides are powerful factors in
producing good stock OF all.descrip-
tions. There are soils on which
good useful stock cannot be profit
ably raised. Sometimes soil is
so poor in lime that it cannot nour-
ish an animal properly.

The sheep interest is not depend
ent on any one man. 1t is too large
and wide spread a business for
that, and if few men do get dis
couraged and sell out it will not
materially affect the business, as
there will be too many good, stable
men still remain in it for the small
incident of a few men selling to
make any show. So if you hear
about your nsighbor going to quit

in the even tenor of your way, and
you will have plenty of good,

cows are poor mixers, and if so,

The Rural World SAYS:

The Rural World says: "Tht
only way in which wheat may be
made to pay on present and pros
pective prices, is to largely in
crease the yield per acre and make
it a supplementary crop. Reduce
then the area, but on that sown put
as much work as on the full area.
Plow in a good coat of manure;
pillow deep, as wheat is a deep feed
er, prepare the seed bed thoroughly
and SOW good, clean, pure seed.
Seed down a part at least, to grass
or clover, thus inaugurating a poll
cy system whereby a clover sod
may be available each fall for wheat.
Wheat follows no other crop so well
as clover. Most farmers need to
grow some crop which they can
turn readily into cash. Wheat is
a good crop for this purpose, if not
carried too far"
