the morning

There was charity concert last week at
Streator, in which the school ma'ams OF
that city were well represented, The plays
were Pauline, the Belle of Saratoga" and
"The Elevator" farce. 1t was one of the
best productions of home talent by amateurs
that that city has ever been favored with,
and the teachers taking part deserve espe
cial credit for contributing in so merited a
degree 10 its success. The skating Kinks
closed on that night, and the receipts for
the poor Of the city were such as to call
down many blessings on the heads of those
who afforded the audience such credita
bic entertainment Why cannot the teach
ers of this city and others get up a charity
concert here There are numbers of poor
families who suffer the pangs of privation
by this cruel cold winter. Such an enter
tainment would be well patronized, and
there is sufficient home talent to make 1t a
grand success. 1t is probable that Mr.
Sherwood would grant the use Of the Ope-
RI House for night, and MesSrs, Sanders
the Rink for another night in aid Of this
charitable movement; and we are author.
lied to state that Fitzgerald's Band will
donate their services for like purpose.

pie start in the matter

WASHINGTON, AUG. "a, 1885.
WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.

A good many foolish things are no
doubt done in the name of Civil
Service Reform, as there are
crimes committed in the name
of Liberty but the Democratic party
can hardly afford to quarrel with it just
now. There is so much in the name
of thing. Its apparent defense of
slavery was what broke up the party
once. What the popular mind would
be made to believe was an attack upon
Reform would break it up again, though
the Democracy of this country are
quite as much in favor of purity and
efficiency in the public service as.it is
possible for men to be- SO they were
not in principle the upholders of hui
man chattelism as the right thing for
free government, but only that being Of
constitutional recognition it should be
dealt with constitutionally rather than
by fire and sword.
In whatever policy may be adopted
by the next House of Representatives
therefore, care should be taken by the
Democratic party not to commit itself
even by implication, to the absolute
overthrow or reputation of Il system
which was first made necessary by the
prostitution of the Civil-Servicc to the
machine uses of the Republican party.
The mistake that Mr.. Pendleton
made was in not limiting the scope of
the legislation which he originated to
n remedy of actual and existing evils,
instead of spreading out his bill to cover
details of appointment and eligibility,
with which Congress had nothing to
do. All that the Civil Service needed
was the elimination of that form of
gross political corruption which came
TO be known and detested as iayhubbel-
ism. This done, the country would
have been satisfied.
But in whatever policy may now be
agreed on-whatcver measures the
Democrats in Congress may devise to
extricate themselves from the trap in
which they have been caught-they
must carefully avoid any proceeding
which might be construed as n declara-
tion of war upon the principles of re-
form. The system can be modified,
but the spirit of the law cannot be
wisely or safely condemned and in the
meantime the letter of the law should
be carefully obeyed.

ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.

A paper prepared by Lieutenant
Danenhower, who was on the Jeanette
expedition, will be discussed by the
u. S. Naval Institute in October next.
The subject of the paper is Arctic eX.
plorations, in regard to which Lieuten-
ant Danenhower seems to have good
deal Of solid common sense.
He says that after serving on one
Arctic expedition, having devoted seven
years to the question Of Arctic expora-
tion and having watched the numerous
efforts made and the insufficient results
obtained by the sacrifice of life and
treasure in this direction, he unhesita.
iingly records himself as opposed to
any further voyages Of adventure to
the central polar basin, The gradual
extension of observatory stations in the
interest of science should be made, but
National support should not be
given to another polar expedition.
Since the Greely disaster the people
of the country are almost unanimously
Of the same way of thinking as Licuten-
ant Danenhower.
