OPPOSED TO THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.

Hon. W. B. Hill, member of Congress
from Ohio, says Of the Civil Service law E:
II am opposed to it on general principles,
because it takes the appointing power out
OF the hands Of those who arc responsible
for the administration of their respective
departments. an, in favor Of executing
the law to the letter while it is law. as !
am in favor of every law while it is on the
statute books. am opposed to this law
because it is opposed to the spirit and &c.
MUS OF our free institutions. 1t takes the
power out of the hands Of the chosen
agent OF the people and therefore out Of
the hands Of the people themselves. l
think there will be a strong movement on
the part of the Democratic members of
the next Congress to repeal it. have
heard great number say they will vote to
repeal it. l certainly shall it I have the
opportunity.

THE SCHOOL TEXT BOOK LAW.

1t is not generally understood BY the
teachers and school officers Of Montana
that it is not necessary under the new
school book law to change hooks before
the 1st Of July, 1886, as there is no penalty
provided for using the old books before that
date. But in order to exchange readers
free, It must be done before January ,st
1886. In the exchange Of readers child
may obtain without having to pay any diff:
ference reader of any grade he desires,
for an old reader; or, in other words, he
may exchange an old first reader for a
new fifth reader. The above are new fea.
lures OF the new law, which, if understood
and taken possession OF, will make the law
less expensive and troublesome to the pa.
irons of our public schools. The exchange
prices, however, only last until July, 1856

GENERAL CHANTS BOOK.

Man proposes God disposes," are the
opening words of General Grants preface
10 his forthcoming book. He says that it
was only after he sustained an injury from
q fall that he consented to write his me-
moirs. That made study pleasant pas
time; and then the rascality Of a business
partner compelled him to take to writing
for money. ~ was then" he says, 'liv-
ing on borrowed money" He says fur
ther that he has been actuated in what he
has written by desire to do injustice to
no one, whether on the Confederate or
National side, but he would have had
more hope Of satisfying public expecta.
ton had he had more time. While the
comments are his own, he has used his
best efforts, assisted by his son, +. d.
Grant, to verify from the records every
statement Of fact given.
We do not think that the old COM
mander need have any fear of being un-
able to satisfy the public. The public
has generally been more than satisfied
with what he has done. His achieve
ments occupy a large and honorable space
in the annals of the country, and what is
written with the sword no pen may erase.

THE MOVES CONUNDRUM.

The appointment of Edward +. Noyes of
Ohio as one of the Government directors
of the Union Pacific Railroad has natu-
rally enough stirred up large-sized hor-
nets nest in the Democratic camp, rs
there is scarcely another man in the coun-
try whose record Is more unsavory in the
average Jefiersonian nostril. Why Re-
publican of such antecedents should have
been selected by a Democratic Admins
tration to share in its official favors is
only to be accounted for upon the theory
that Mr.. Cleveland was mistaken as to
the mans identity. The appointment
would certainly be hard to defend upon
any known or conceivable rule of Civil
Service Reform.
Happily the trouble promises to be
speedily ended by Mr.. Noyes' declinaton
of the proffered honor, and now the in
teresting question arises rs to where his
recommendations came from. 1t was
first stated that he was appointed at the
solicitation of Governor Hoadly and it is
now stated that he declines to accept the
position at Governor Hoadly's solicita-
tion-stories that do not at all consist
Mr.. Hoadly would hardly indorse a man
for an Office simply for the malicious
pleasure of subsequently advising him
not to take it.
THE CRITIC learns through one of its
usually veracious informants, though we
do not vouch for the scriptural accuracy
Of the information in this instance, that
the suggestion originated in the fertile
brain of John r. Mclean of the Cincin-
matt EnQNirer.

sCHEMEs AND sCHEMERs.

A Washington special to the New York
Tribune says that "t the financial condition
of Mexico has resulted in many PROPOSE
tons for the sale of Mexican territory to
this Government and that letters by the
score touching this question have lately
been showered upon the President and
Secretary Bayard.
One of the alleged propositions is the
purchase of the six States of Mexico lying
along the northern boundary, which it is
thought could be had for anywhere from
Sl00,000,000 to $300000,000, and which
President Diaz would probably be willing
to part with upon reasonable terms.
The second proposition is of more mod
est dimensions, and includes only the
three States of Sonora, Sinaloa and Lower
California.
The third project is in the interest of the
Tehuantepec Railroad Company, and con-
templates the cession of strip of land
fifty miles wide along the line of that road
from sea to sea, which it is calculated
could be had for the trife of $4,000, 900.
Before proceeding to analyze the merits
of these several propositions, it is per-
haps well enough to suggest that there
are two difficulties in the way of the
acquisition of Mexican territory-diili-
culties so formidable that they may well
be considered insuperable.
One of these is that President Diaz, ac-
cording to the most trustworthy informa-
ton obtainable upon the subject, has
neither the desire nor the intention to
sell, and the other is that the Government
of the United States has equally small de-
sire or intention to buy.
1t is also safe enough to say that while
the Mexican inhabitants of the states pro-
posed to be annexed would in all proba-
bility raise the standard of revolt against
the transfer, the people of this country
would never consent to be saddled with
the new burden of semi-barbarism and
ignorance which such a transfer would
impose upon them. We have a larger ele-
ment of illiteracy already on our hands
than we can comfortably care for. Only
upon the condition that President Diaz
would convey the vacant property and
keep its degraded occupants at home, were
the idea OF a negotiation even to be toler-
ated.
But it is too early in the history of the
new Administration to be forcing such
schemes to the front. 1t will be time
enough to consider them when President
Diaz is known to have made overtures OF
sale, and President Cleveland has recon-.
mended the question to the consideration

EDITOR CRITIC: like to attend theatri-

a good deal inmy desires by the impress
sions made upon me by the newspaper
reports of the entertainments.
When new piece or an old play by @
new company is advertised for the week..
] generally avoid attending the first per-
formance, awaiting the criticisms of the
morning journals as to the merit of the
piece or the character of the acting. AS
usual this morning read the Post and the
Republican, to ascertain how "Billee Tay-
lor" was rendered last night at Albaugh's.
/ append extracts from reports in both
papers and am still in doubt as to the rem
dition of this Light opera.
