WHAT CIVIL SERTIoE REFORM
3rESUC

The GLOBE may be relieved from s'undertak-
ing TO indorse anything and everything commun-
icated by its Washington correspondents, but it
will scarcely announce the responsibility of its
editorial utterances And these constantly lend
color TO the impression that as matter OF fact it
cares nothing whatever about genuine reform of
the CIVIL service but that it desires and fully ex-
poets the Offices to be promptly distributed ac-
cordng to the JAcKsOyIAN idea. 1t is shamming
reform policy and permitting unguarded para
graphs to expose the deception. And so far as
its influence goes 1t is hurting the administration
of President CLEVELAND and postponing popular
confidence in Indianapolis Evening journal.
There is such thing as measuring an
other mans corn in your own bushel mea-
sure, and it is hard to convince Republican
that Democrat can be sincere in q profess
sion of civil service reform. The Republican
party has so thoroughly slammed reform
policy that it is difficult for that party to be-
lieve it possible for any other party to be sin
cere. There is not much difference in the
professions made by the two parties relating
to reform in the civil service; their platforms
formulated the same propositions. The diff
ference between them is a difference of
tendencies. The tendency of the respective
parties was shown in their ominations The
Republican party nominated for their candi-
dates two notorious spoilsmen. The Demo-
Gratis headed their ticket with man whose
whole public life was a reform. record, and
completed the ticket with the name of a
statesman whose long public career had
never been tainted with suspicion of any
kind.
The GLOBE believes that President CLEvE-
LAND is the man to carry out the purposes for
which he is elected and will sustain him in
that effort. The GLOBE furthermore be-
Ieves that President CLEVELAND has too much
discernment not to know it would be unsafe
to trust the work of reforming the civil ser
in relation to it, and that its execution ought
to be in the hands of its real friends. And
President CLEVELAND knows, as the GLOBE
knows, and the Evening Journal may live
long enough to find out, that the only real
friends of reform of any kind are those who
voted for Mr.. CLEVELAND in the last election.
The Democratic party is the only reform
party in the country, and as Mr.. CLEVELAND
is very earnest man in whatever he under
takes to do, we expect him to displace every
inefficient man in the public service and every
sham reformer and fill his position with some
good, sound Democrat, who will give his
whole heart to the administration in its re-
form work. We don't care whether that is
JACKsoNIAN idea or not, it. is the proper idea
and is going to prevail.

NO JUST CAUSE FoR COMPLAINT.

Judging from the tone of the Richmond
Va.) Dispatch the cabinet is not just what
the Southern. people desired it. The Dispatch
does not state any ground for dissatisfaction.
The South has three representatives, BAYARD,
LAMAR and GARLAND, and they represent the
very best eleme nts of Southern society and
Southern political sentiment. If the objec-
ton to the cabinet is based upon sectional
grounds then it is the West and not the
South that ought to be complaining. 1t is
evident that Mr.. CLEVELAND had the courage
to ignore sectional lines and makes his selec-
tions with reference to the fitness of the men
for the positions to which he assigned them
rather than to any political OF geographical
expediency. In composing cabinet its local
distribution is a matter of minor conse-
quence and iG is hardly probable that any
seven men could have been selected who
would have invited less criticism than the
ones who were selected. Each one of them
magnifies the Jeffersonian standard of fit
ness, honesty and fidelity to the consti-
tuition. They are the men whom
the president thought would best aid him in
effecting such an administration as he de-
sires to give the country. Severally and
collectively they will ably, wisely and faith
fully counsel for the country with their chief
to whose interests and rights they are devoted
and with whose reform purposes they are
completely in sympathy. Of all, the talents
and the methods are such as Mr.. CLEVELAND
can well put to masterful use for the benefit
OF the Republic and for the glory and success
of pure Democracy.
The Dispa tch very philosophcally rejoices,
however, that the men composing the cabi-
net "will not direct all their efforts towards a
repression of the life, prosperity and happi-
ness of the South" And the Dispatch
might have added they are men whose efforts
will be directed towards building up the life
and prosperity not only of the South but of
the whole country. With the fit advisers he
has chosen and with the exalted purposes he
has announced Mr.. CLEVELAND begins an
administration which the hopes and faith Of
his fellow ceuntrymen in its success for all
right principles will accompany On its way
through the years to come.

The latest pew candidate for journalistic
fayors on the GLOBE exchange desk is the

Argus, in its initial number, gives promise
Of being dignided aud able addition to the
Dakota press, which, as a whole, already
takes rank with the press Of our most pro-
gressye state. II has already been an
nounced that one of the cardinal principles
of the new administration will be the foster
ing of the provincial press. This is an idea
that should receive practical recognition from
the general public in the way of patronage.
A live newspaper in a town is a most potent
factor in building up the CONNER
cial, manufacturing and agricultural
industries of community and should
be encouraged regardless of its political
teachings, whether 1t is in harmony With the
general sentiment Of the community or not.
Sioux Falls Is already favored with a very
able exponent Of Republican principles in
the Press, whose editor has just been ap-
pointed territorial auditor. The,one fills the
morning as the other is destined to Gil the even
ing field in that thrifty little city. The GLOBE
would sec them both prosper a. representing
a progressive city add constituency gener-
ally. Dakota already supports some fine daily
and weekly papers, but is capable of sup
porting many more, being emphatieally a
reading community. May all the present
enterprises, and the new as well, receive that
cordial support to which they are entitled is
the wish Of the GLOBE.

THE United Presbyterian church, at Har-
lem, N. Y, is having trouble in getting
rid of pastor. The church is divided on
the question and the minister refuses to GO.
The elders and deacons and a majority of
the lay members are arrayed against the
pastor, while large minority stand by him.
Every other effort having failed to induce
the minister to abdicate his pulpit, the
church session, as the last chance of freezing
him out, have ordered the supply of coal to
be cut off. The minority members now de-
clare their purpose to stand by the parson
and sit out the services even if the lower
regions freeze over.

EMPLOYMENT to canvass for books, to solicit
for andvisements, and to canvass for life

one has expressed a willingness to go on the

Coal Miners, Strike.

PITrsBURG, March 9.-The coal miners
strike which was inaugurated to-day prom
ises to be the greatest war for wages ever
fought by golfers in this district. Of $4,000
miners in the Pittsburg district it is estimated
that seven-eights are out for the three-cent
rate. The river and railway men have Joined
hands, and it is confidently asserted by the
leaders of the movement that the demand
will be almost unanimous by Tomorrow.
Several works are running to-day, but the
diggers have promised to come out just as
soon as they can put their rooms in proper
shape and collect their tools. President
Costello, with number of agitators, is hold
ing meetings along the river to-day, urging
all to make united stand, and similar
committee is working along the railroads.
Operators seem determined not to accede to
the demand because they say there is no de-
maud for coal in the lower market. A bitter
contest is predicted.

MR.. oLEpBLAND A SINCERE MAN.


In commenting upon the inaugural adj
dress the Brooklyn Eagle says that even the
truisms and generalizatious of the address
derive force they never have exceeded un-
der any circumstances in history from the
fact, which should always be regarded, that
Mr.. CLEVELAND is very serious and sincere
man, more entirely under the domination
of conscience than any statesman of this
time and almost of any time. What may
appear trite to some is very real to him.
He has made as clear and true a declaration
OF his views and motives to his countrymen
as anyone, in the privacy of devotion, ever
made to his Maker. 1t is as certain
that he will live up to it as it
is that he has made it. Not by
training or requirement, but by nature,
President CLEVELAND is infexibly and to-
tally truthful, and he considers public duties
to be as binding on him as any man ever
considered private engagements to be bind
ing on his honor. Between the great number
OF men who say things for mere effect and
GROVER CLEVELAND an absolute distinction
should be made by all who would understand
him or understand what he means to attempt
for the government. So artificial, false and
hollow has government action become. that
the simple, earnest, outright enuneiations Of
GROVER CLEVELAND may seem to some like
the unmeaning verbiage of men. among
whom have been presidents, who employ
language but as an aid in the confidence
game of politics. Not SO with this man he
means all and just what he says and he
means it all through. The code of motive
and the standard of conduct he lays down he
will follow. he will make others follow them,
too, or he will turn them out. He is bound
to reyolutionize the entire habit of action in
the service; to make industry supersede
laziness; frugality extravaganza, and SINGER
ity chicanery.
