A Cry of Warming.

The Washington Post, Democratic,
protests against revolutionizing the pure
ly executive branches of the government
after every national election. Our CO..
temporary holds to the opinion that the
intelligence and patriotism of the coun-
try favOrs a standard of civil service
higher than mere party service, and de-
mands that it be kept free from the vi
cissitudes of political fluctuations. Int
dulging this belief the Post very frankly
says that no such thing as efficiency or
character cah be insured under the cper-
alton of a system which forces public
servants to depend upon their favor for
their promotion, or even their retention.
This is unusual talk for Democratic
organ, but the Post is, seemingly, in ear
nest, for it couples its opinions with the
demand that the Democracy shall prac-
tice those beautiful and patriotic pre-
cepts" which they so long and loudly
advocated before coming into power
The Post entertains correct ideas upon
this all important topic. It's sentiments
accord with those of civil service re-
formers everywhere, but it will find the
task Of converting the Democracy to its
views an undertaking sufficient to appal
the NEST bold and hardy reformer.
Judging from the tenor of its remarks
the Post undoubtedly fears for the future
of its party. Tired of the spoils system
the people called upon Republican Con-
gress 10 take the necessary steps to.
wards its extinction. AS they were out
of power at the time the Democrats, as
rule, professed to fall in with this idea,
but now that they have command of the
executive machinery of the government
they recklessly whistle civil service re-
form down the wind and clamor for pos
session of the offices. The Post reminds
them that if they refuse or neglect to
carry out the "lofty ideas" they prescrib-
ed for the Republicans during many long
years the country will hold them respon-
sible and relegate the party to the posi- !
ton it held prior to the recent Presiden-
tial election. 1t is plain to be seen, how
ever, that the advice and warnings of |
the Post will produce little or no effect. |
Its words fall on unwilling ears. The |
party is rabid for Office and the adminis>
tration, willingly or unwillingly, is fore
ed TO eat its own professions and yield |
to the demands of its partisans. Faiths
full public servants are summarily dis
missed to appease the longings of the
greedy crowd. The civil service law is
disregarded that places may be made for
Democratic henchmen. The old cry for |
the spoils is revived, but time of reck>
oning will come, and it is this which the
Post both sees and fears. Cleveland |

THR reason people despise patent medicines
is because they are usually recommended to
cure all diseases; this must be a mistake, be-
cause the great success of the Shaker Extract
of Roots (Siegel's Syrup is due solely to the
fact that it is made to cure one single disease,
namely: Indigestion, for which it is a certain
remedy; the aching head, constipated bowels,
causing languor and fatigue, vanish as soon
as this remedy is used. A ii Noon, of Fancy
Farm, KY, writes; May 81, 1885, as follows:

A sympathy with the pains and pleas
ures of others is the foundation upon
which we build our social virtues.
Humility, sweet as it may be as a
trait of character, may degenerate into
vice, if not held up by self-respect.
That only can with propriety be styled
refinement which, by strengthening the
intellect, purifies the manners.
Don't take anything for granted; get
to the bottom of things. Neither be =
sham yourself nor be fooled by shsms.
No man can honestly pray to he de-
livered from this worlds temptations
who does not persistently strive to keep
out Of them.
As the sword of the best tempered
metal is most flexible. so the truly gen.
erous are most plant and courteous in
their behavior.

agony and despair" said DR.. Lyman Alb
bot before the Congregational club in New
York Monday evening, sis that the wage
worker can get no more for his work than
is absolutely necessary to enable him to
live. The rate Of wages seems to be de-
termined by the rate OF subsistence II
the workman can live for less, it would
seem, he gets less. The toiler is all the
time more or less near to the border line
of famine. If times are good, Just beyond
it; if times are bad, Just within it. Chris

The immense amount of money coming
to certain American families from the
Lawrence Townley estate in England
said to be worth $500, ,Ooo. 0oo-has been
the theme Of newspaper accounts in this
country for many year. The stories are
similar to those which make mention ef
other family names, and are hopping up,
in some portion of the land, continually.
Recently it has been stated, with great
flourish of headings, that Mrs. Stephen S.
Brown, of Gowands, New York, had
fallen heir to s4O,OOO,O0 portion Of
the ESTATE" named. Simultaneously with
this announcement comes the statement
that the claimants OF the Anneka Jams
estate, with new recruits, are on the war
path, with the idea Of ''scooping" the Trim
ity church property in New York. But .
correspondent Of the Rochester Democrat
and Chronicle writes from Olean, New
York, to the effect that the story about
Mrs, Brown ''is false in every particular" !"
The original publication very naturally
set the American heirs to English estates
and to unclaimed balances in the Bank
of England into great furry Of excite
ment and melted them to renewed effort.
The fact is, there are very few unclaimed
balances" in the Bank of England" and
they are not in large amounts. As to the
Internationally estate, the New York
Evening Post, whose editor has investi-
gated the matter thoroughly, has an
exhaustive article.in which it quotes from
the English and American genealogical
records. These records show that there
are no American heirs entitled to q farth-
ing. This fact should warn those who
have Great Expectations" Of fortunes in
England, and who are disposed to spend
money on a certain class Of lawyers who
iatten themselves on people Of this class,
to move very cautiously. if at all, in the
direction of an investment quite likely to
prove like the pouring of water into a
sieve.
