brought TO n successful issue by the zeal
and money Of Democratic workers all over
the country, without the resources afforded
by the assessment Of public functionarios,
should curl, like whipped cur, under the
criticisms Of Mugwump journals, and be
controlled by "a little clique of Republican
partisans, high civil service commissioners,
headed by Mr.. Dorman b. Eaton" The
writer finds II convenient to forget, and the
Democratic masses are equally forgctful,
that but for the aid Of the Mugwump jour
nails and handful Of Mugwump voters
''ihc zeal and money of Democratic workers
all over the country" would have counted
for no more than they did in the campaign
Of 1850 There IS equal forgctfulnesso of the
civil service reform pledges on which the
Democratic party made the Presidential
campaign, and the solemn pledges of fidelity
to that reform made by Mr.. Cleveland In
his letter of acceptance as well as on subse-
qucnt occasions.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN; | reached
the approach to the Virginia end of the Long
bridge at $40 o'clock this morning and found
the bridge blocked both ways. A gang of
bridge worRmen at that hour had taken up the
plauks from large space in the roadway, and
were leisurely saving out other planks to III
therein. The consequence was that the drivers
Of wagons and carts laden with bricks, who
arc paid by the trip, were forced to lose their
time and wages and the drivers of return
wagons lost their time and wages also. Olhor
travellers, anxious to reach the city at 0 o clock
for business, were annoyed at the needless de,
lay, as they could do nothing but look on from
the long line of vehicles while two trains from
Virginia passed them, their horses standing eS-
posed TO sunstroke. and q third came thunder
ing on the bridge as they were leaving II on the
Washington side.
These vexatlous and costly delays which
occur several times during tho day and have
continued for many months can be remedied
If the disposition to do 1t exists And IL seems
strange that the complaints hitherto made
have not put an end to an evil that intlicts
such needless annoyance and such cruel loss
in wages to workingmen. A TRAVELLER,

The ErcniRg star, Of this city, comment
ing ON Secretary Manning's praise Of the
treasury clerks, as reported in an interview
printed in THE REPUBLICAN yesterday, says;
Not only is the civil service Of this govern
mcnt the most honest most capable, aud most
courteous of any public service in the world,
but there Is no private business Of equal mag,
nitude where the honesty aud efficiency OF the
service Is on such high level 1fthc Demo-.
Gratis intend TO upset the service, as II reward
for political activity, let them say so, honestly.
To mask grab for salary under a lofty regard
for "rcform" is very cowardly Kind Of cant,
OF course in such great multitude there arc
come drones and some rascals, and they should
be wccdcd out; hut the charge that the service,
as such, is ON low level is as false and almost
as wicked libel MS that other which nssails
the character of the ladies who are in the en-
poy Of the government.
There is not q word of this earnest com
mendation that is not strictly true. The
more intimately one inquiries into the
details Of departmental service in this city
the more thoroughly will he become con-
vinced that 1t has been brought, by intelli-
gencc and fidelity, to a high state Of Elf
cheney. The government has the service OF
corps of trained officials whose equals can.
not be found in the service Of any Other
government on the globe To attempt to
sweep them cut and put inexperienced and
untried persons In their places would be to
adopt such a policy as would be utterly
ruinous to any private business.

at the morning session Of the agricultural
convention yesterday declaring that the

fully demonstrated at every agricultural
college. Another resolution was adopted
adyoeatirgthe establishment of division or
oillccin the agricultural department, to have
charge Of lntercommunication between the
institutions intended to be represented by
the convention and the center Of the gene
raj plan OF cooperation. A third resolu-
tion provided for the publication of n

ing of papers upon the general subject of
education. In the afternoon the delegates
called on the President.
At the evening session n committee con-
sisting of one member from each state was
appointed TO cooperate with the committee
on pcrpetuating the conventions.
a resolution was then adopted cordially
thanking the commissioner of agriculture
for the thoughtful interest in the cause OF
agricultural education, which had led him
to call this convention, and for the constant
courtesy anu uhblellllCt Nllll NIlCu llt uul
promoted its proceedings
In seconding them President Ather-
ton, of the Pennsylvania Agricultural
college, said lie had attended great
many conventions of great many
kinds, but had never attended one
which seemed to have been composed of
moro earnest men or to have accomplished
more substantially the results aimed at,
and lie could not but feel that very much
was due to the thoughtful consideration
bestowed upon 1t by the commissioner of
agriculture.
The resolution was unanimously adopted
by rising vote.
Col. Colman made a short closing adj
dress, thanking the delegates for their
presence, congratulating them upon the
harmony which had marked the proceed
ings of the convention, and the promising
prospect of good results to flow from their
deliberations.

AN evening contemporary undertakes to
enlighten THE REPUBLICAN and the public
generally by stating that the object of the
law relating to cadets-at-large in the mill
tary academy is to give the sons Of army
officers a chance to follow the profession
of their fathers. It never was the intent Of
any act Of Congress to give the sons of
army officers preference over the sons of
civilians. Giving the sons of army officers
their full quota, or pro rata share In the
educational facilities of West Point, they
would not have more than one appointment
in four years. THE REPUBLICAN cares very
little about the matter, any way, for it
cannot get up profound interest in snob
