DURING the last few days the Democratic
party has been practicing and exemplifying
the beauties of civil-service and other kinds
of reform in a manner peculiar to that
party:

THE peremptory and autocratic dismissal of

The efforts of Democratic congressman to
curry favor with the soldiers are amusing,
when the facts are known Attention has al
ready been directed to the fact that Senator
voorhees,, with much pomp introduced bill
for the repeal of the limitation in the arrears
of pensions act while the truth was that pre-
cisely the same provision was Incorporated in
the bill introduced by Senator Mitchell, from
the pensions committee, day or two before,
and which bill had passed the Republican
Senate at the last session, but was ignored by
the Democratic House of Representatives.
Following Mr.. Voorhees,, Colonel Matson has
introduced bill increasing the pensions of
soldiers widows from So to $12 month
This provision was also in the pension COM
mittee bill, passed by the Senate last year,
but which failed in the Democratic House.

THE Journal is in receipt Of courteous de-
NAL from Mayor Harrison of the fact that of
the delegation sent down to the Hendricks
funeral from the Chicago Council several were
gamblers and bummers, and not aldermen at
all. While not denying that they were toughs
of high degree, the Mayor says they were,
with one exception, all aldermen. The Jour
nal has only to say in reply that it got it's
information from people who were fully quail
fed to give the exact facts. If there is any
mistake about it, there is nothing left but to
commiserate Chicago in being under the con-
troll Of such ill-favored gentlemen.

And in Indianapolis, again, by the assertion
made by a Democrat that the late Vice-presi-

his own party, which, if true, puts stain

And the good work still goes on, here and
elsewhere. Protesting a desire for reform,
and practicing the most contemplate and

anew in hypocrisy and deceit.

THE Washington correspondent of the In
dianapolis Journal seems to have deep seated
grudge against Judge Holman. He wants to
see the faithful old Watch dog of the Treas
ury" snubbed and degraded in the formation
of the House committees, so as to deprive
him OF preventing the usual raids being made
upon the public Treasury It is strange that
the correspondent of a reputable journal
should manifest such extreme anxiety in
matter of this kind. 1t makes one suspect
that this correspondent Islands in" with the
fellows who are for the flag and huge APP
opriation-particularl an appropriation.
South Bend Times
The Washington correspondent of the Jour-
nal, in common with the public in general,
believes that Congressman Holman has made
an ass Of himself through his persistent and
factious opposition to all appropriation bills,
without regard to their merit, and with the
sole object of making capital for himself as
an economist In ten-cent way, Mr.. Hol-
man has Saved money to the Treasury; but
in saving the cost of the washing of towels
for the lavatories in the Capitol and of ice, or
of lemons or what not he has aquandered the
time of the House to the value of thousands.
The insincerity of his professions was re-
vealed when the bill for federal
building in the leading city of
his own district was pending. Had
it been for structure anywhere else in the
land than there, he would have moved re-
duction in the amount proposed, or voted
against it without reserve. AS it was, he
suddenly relaxed his rigidity, closed his eyes,
and let it pass without word of objection.
The trouble with Mr.. Holman is that he is
man of very circumscribed views so that
without having the capacity to understand
how millions can be wisely expended, he con-
tents himself with offering obstruction to such
expenditures, hoping to win some fame in that
very questionable appellation, Watchdog of
the Treasury. Indiana has suffered before in
the same way, so that if Legislators from
other parts of the country did not understand
that these two men were exceptions this

and penurious without reason. A puppet
arranged to jump up and object every time

serve the people as effectively, and bring no
more discredit upon Indianians 1t is re-

mocracy that Objector Holman has not been

wife, and would maintain her rights as such.

lis postoffce. But when it is officially given
forth that men occupying subordinate posi-
tions shall not be removed without cause one
of these men cannot be discharged without
harm to his fair fame. It is but the smallest
measure Of justice that some opportunity
for defense be offered. IF it had been an
nounced that mail-carrier Henry Stems had
been dismissed because he was Republican,
and because his place was wanted by a Demo
crat, he would have found no fault for no
faint would attach to him to stand in his way
of preferment elsewhere. But when, on the
very questionable testimony of busybody
and tattler he is discharged without op-
portunity to defend his good name
from the charge of indecency and bru-
tality, it assumes a phase that can
but stir up feeling of hearty indignation.
Stems says he did not make use of a single
word disrespectful Of the memory of Mr. Hen
bricks, and beyond the mere remark that he
was dead said little or nothing In other
words, he denies the truth of the car-driver's
statement, and makes the most reasonable
demand that he be not cut adrift because Of
the utterances of man who has proved him
self to be meddler and not entitled to belief
1t is the postmaster's privilege to discharge
the Republican employees if he wishes, and to
fill the vacancies with Democrats. He can do
this without word of remonstrance on the
part of Republicans. But when he goes out
of his way to accept the unsupported word Of
self-constituted informer to blacken the
character Of Republicans, in order to put a
mask on the hypocrisy of reform, he and his
party need not be surprised if Republicans
become indignant. Just at this time is
very unpropitious to invoke the ill-feeling Of
Republicans The commonest kind of de-
cency would suggest fair treatment for few
days at least, or until the recollection Of Re-
publican iberality becomes a little dim.
