A FRANK CONFESSION.

The New York legislature boasts the
ownership of an excellent Democratic
member whose name is Oliver. What
ever weaknesses brother Oliver may &C.
casionally betray, his demonstration the
other day against civil service reform
will not probably be considered one of
them by the average of his party. eve
Democrats" exclaimed this candid, if
not discreet, brother, though we gave
every encouragement to the civil service
idea, see, now that Cleveland is elected,
that we have no further use for it, and
can get along very well without it. "
Short sighted Oliver divers optic
doesn't seem to have penetrated very
deep below the surface of popular SEN
timent on that subject, else had he seen
that if his opinion should generally pre-
vail among the leaders of his party,
their lease of power will be very short.
Oliver, as an open and honest opponent
of civil service reform, may be entitled
to some respect for his candor, but the
man or the party that to secure success
at the polls, affects support ofprinciples
only to reject them when the desired
end is gained, is guilty of such duplici-
ty that an outraged public will prompt
ly denounce it. The Democratic lead
ers know that their ante election pro
LESSONS must be maintained. They
know that the President-e elect is in hon
or bound to redeem every civil service
reform pledge given the people, else
power may be as suddenly wrested from
them as it was given to them. Policy,
if nothing higher, will compel consis-
tcncy, so far as the redemption of every
pledge of reform was made the condi-
ton upon which Mr.. Cleveland receiv-
ed enough votes to make him President.

If it is true that Mr.. Pierrepont Ed
wards, British Consul at New York, has
been lobbying in the vestibule of the
House of Representatives to secure the
passage of the dynamite resolutions, it
is likely that he will suffer for his auda-
city That such intermeddling should
be resented is not surprising. Repre-
sentative Flnerty states the case rather
forcibly. "Half the Members of the
House," he says, have Irish blood in
their veins, and yet not one of these
has ever ventured to intrude upon the
attention of Congress legislation favora-
Bile to that oppressed island, while this
English representative does not hesitate
to lobby in an undignifed and shame
less manner for legislation favorable to
England and hostile to Ireland" Mr..
Finerty adds that ''Mr. Edwards &C
ton is new departure in English DIP
lomacy in Washington. Great Britain's
lobbying here" he says, ''is generally
accomplished through the medium of
dinners and suppers, where the COM
mon blood. religion and language is
boosted, and an attempt made to wash
out in champagne the memory Of slap
in the face in 1912 and stab in the
back in 1901"

SchhooIfellow Got an Office.
One of the jolIiest and lveiiest of boys
who makes the corridors of the Capitol
at Washington ring, and creates ripple
every time he gets on the floor of the
House, is black-Eaired little fellow of
Il, who wears SpCctaGics and answers to
the name OF Samuel jackson Randall, Jr.
In the Capital of a recent date is an item
which gives token that Master Randall
has begun to develop the qualities of a
first class politician. In the late cam
paign lie was very steadfast Cleveland
lad, although his school fellows were
nearly all for Blaine.
Among his comrades lie had one, Joe
Duddington, who emuiated him in the
steadfastness of his Democracy, and Sam
determined to remand him with an Office.
AS soon as Congress assembled sam cali

Colonel told him to bring Joe down some
day and he would see what conld be

at the Capital, and Sa'a told the Colonel
that Joe was nov ready to be sworn in,

FREE TRADE AND PROTEC.
TON.

We are disappointed, says Mr.. Dana,
of the SIN, at the poor showing oul
friends, the free traders, make in the
next House of Representatives. Con
sidering their loud proclamations dur
ing the great struggle of last winter, and
the energy they displayed at Chicago.
they have turned out very poorly indeed
in the election.
Apart from the fact of Frank Hurd's
defeat in Ohio, when he of all men
ought to have been triumphantly re-
turned, there is sure protectionist ma
jority IN the new Houses. Thus the
revision of the tariff, which will shortly
have to be undertaken, is likely to be
made in the interest of protection an!
not in the interest of free trade.
1t is plain that a great deal of mis-
sionary work will have to be done in
this country before it is brought over to
free trade doctrines. Perhaps our
friends might get on better if theywould
change their dictatorial and infallible
tone for one of philosophy and mild
persuasion. That is wise motto which
bids us to speak gently to the erring.

The second annual report of the
Civil Service Commission, covering a
period from January I6, 1884, to
Jan I6, 1885, has been sent to Con-
gress by the President. 1t says the
Civil Service law has been found prac-
ticable and effective for the accom-
plishment of its purpose. During the
year persons have been examined from
every State and Territory except Idaho.
One hundred and sixty-two examina
tons have been held, and 6,346 per-
sons have been examined, of whom
5,525 were males and 822 were fe-
males. OF those examined 4, I4I pass
ed at grade showing them competent
for the public service, and 2,3o6 failed.
The average age of those examined
was nearly 30 years. OF those exam
ined 1920 were educated only in COM
mon schools, 1000 in part in high
schools or academies, 81 in part in bus
mess colleges, and 45o in part in COL
leges. More than 10 per cent, of them
therefore, had only a common school
education. There have been 1906
appointments made from those exam
med. The report adds that the Com
mission has no reason to believe that
any discrimination on political grounds
has been made in these appointments,
and positively asserts that none has
been made in connection with the ex-

CABLE kilograms to prominent daily
newspapers indicate that, to some eX-
tent, a change in public feeling in En-
gland, since the news of Gordon's fate
was first received. Then it seemed as
though Mr.. Gladstone and his govern
ment could not withstand the shock of
popular Indignation which found ex-
preston even in staid and loyal Liberal
journals. Had Parliament then been
in session there is no doubt that vote
of censure would have been promptly
passed, and that Gladstone would have
had to go. Since then the people have
become more interested in the question
of avenging Gordon S death and strength
ening the hands of the brave fellows who
are left in the Soudan. The Liberals
especially the Wing members of the par
ty, promptly trimmed their sails to the
popular breeze, and were among the
foremost and most vehement in urging
energetic action. The feeling of indig
nation over the original blunder still re
mains, but it is overshadowed by the
determination to retrieve the disasters
The Gladstone government is daily
giving proofs of vigorous action in thi:
direction, and people are beginning to
reason that it is a bad plan to SWAP
horses while crossing a stream.

There will be no crowdlng around the
desk Of Richelieu Robinson, in the House
for the remainder of this season. Today
Mr.. Talbot of Mary land asked him If he
feared that the English Government
would send any one to shoot him. as
they did his compatriot. O Donovan
Rossa Robinson who is the leading
Irish agitator of the House, replied that
he had no fears on that score; that he
was abundantly able to protect himself.
Opening his desk he drew out two dyna-
mite cartridges, and remarked: Il can
rely on these when everything else fails.
Talbot moved off as rapidly as he could.
He told other members during the day
Of the dynamite cartridges i'll Rpbnson's
desk, and they all kept as far from that
de,k as possible. Talbot says that Rob
inson was in earnest, and he really show
ed him the dynamite. Robinson says he
showed Talbot two pieces of red sealing
wax, and he jumped away with fright.

LORD MACUIAY predicted that the
United States must come in time to
just the same state Of things which we
witness in England that the cities
would fill up and the land become oc-
cupied, and then, he said, the division
between rich and poor would establish
itself on the same scale as with us, and
be just as embarrassing. He forgot
that the United States are without what
certainly fixes and accentuates the di-
vision between rich and poor-the dis
tinction of classes. Not only have they
not the distinction between noble and
bourgeois. between aristocracy and
middle class they have not even the
distinction between bourgeois and
peasant artisan, between middle and
lower class. They have nothing to
create it and compel their recognition
of it. Their domestic service is done
for them by Irish, Germans, Swedes
negroes. Outside domestic service,
within the range of condition which ar
American may in fact be called upon
to traverse, he passes easily from one
sort of occupation to another, from pow
erty. No one of his possible occupa.
tons appears degrading to him or make:
