What Would Be Genuine Reform.

At this time, when SO much is
heard Of civil service "~refOrn," it
is not out Of place to consider what
would be genuine reform in the pub
lie service. !
We no not believe that Il life ten
urr of official position in the de
partments of the government il
necessary to secure that very real
reform which is demanded in the
interes. Of the people. No one par
t. has a monopoly Of the official
honesty and integrity of the coun
Try. When the Offices change hands
it is not of necessity a change from
rascality TO reform, or the reverse.
There may be a change which i'm
plies nothing of the kind. This
change can occur once in four years,
and the public service suffer no
harm.
We believe that a transfer of the
government from the control of one
party to that of the other should
mean a change in the public Off
Gals except in those cases like tho
patent ofice) where extremely tech
nical knowledge is required By
this means the responsibility of ad
ministration can be- readily placed,
and a just judgment be given on
the capacity of parties to govern.
By any other plan we do not zee
how Il just decision could be reached
by the people, and there would
really be a more thorough watching
of the public service than by any
plan oflife or good behavior tenure.

In New York, the Republicans
have nominated a dark horse named
Davenport for Governor, which is
pretty good indication that they
do not expect to carry the election.
The Democracy have nominated
the present Governor, Hill, who
ran on the ticket for Lieutenant
Governor, when Cleveland was cleo
ted Governor, and ran nearly 10000
votes ahead of Cleveland.
He will very likely be elected in
November for Governor Of New
