BEGINNING AT HOME.

An Experiment Which Will Infuse Health
and Efficiency Into the Public Service.
The Secretaries of the Interior De-
partments and the Department of JUS
tice are men of simple and inexpensive
tastes. Mr.. Lamar thought board
ing-house that was good enough for a
Senator would do very well for Cabi.
net officer, and as he did not have half
a dozen horses, carriages and coach
men in the former position, he can not
see the necessity of them in that which
he now occupies. Mr.. Garland views
the subject in similar light, and while
their action in ordering the sale of all
the euuipages and their belongings that
have been kept for private uses, doubt
less accords with their own prefer
ences, it is also an indication of gen.
eral policy to be pursued by this AID.
ministration. The supernumeries must
90. The working necessities OF
each position will be the test APP
piled in its equipment. This will
doubtless elicit some criticism from
those on the alert for developments to
sheer at, because the saving will be COM
paratively small so far as it applies to
the Presidential family. But to indi-
cate so clearly what the spirit of the
Administration is and to exemplify al
headquarters the policy of looping of
all that has no legitimate relation to
the public service will do much to re-
store the morale in all branches of the
Government Example is more forc-
BILE than precept. though precept,, when
it is understood to mean example, &C
uuires significance that is instatly re-
spected. There can be no doubt that
not only in the departments but IN
many crstom-houses and post-offices
and other places large force of hang
ers-on has been encouraged by the prod
igal and vicious methods of the past.
These suggest good place for the ap'
plication of the pruning-knife. 1t may
not be pleasant for the redundant men,
bers, but it will infnse health and effi'
cheney into the public service. Boston

THE DEMAND Or THE PARTY.
Let All Useless Offices Be Abolished anG
the Balance Filled by Democrats.

Let All Useless Offices Be Abolished and
| the Balance Filled by Democrats.
1t is entirely natural for aspirants for
political favor to hear with feelings OF
CONSERVATION of movement to reduce
the number of offices. The chances of
applicants to reach the goal of their
ambition is circumscribed in proportion
as the number of offices are diminished.
Looking at the matter from an individ-
ual standpoint, therefore. the candi-
dates are more than likely to object to
the policy adopted by the new Admin
istration in cutting off sinecures, and
reducing the number of offices as far as
the necessities of the public service will
permit.
But the public is not to be judged by
the temper of the office-seekers in this
matter or any other. There were near
ly five million votes cast for Cleveland.
1t is estimated that there are about half
million candidates for office, or about
one in ten of the Democratic voters
hope to get a reward for their party
services in appointments to office. OF
this number probably one in ten OBJ
iects to the reduction in the number of
places contemplated by the Admins
tration. 1t will thus be seen that the
c0mplainers constitute small proper
ton of the people.
What the Democratic people of the
country want is not that the Aministra-
ton will continue sinecures in order to
provide place for the greatest possible
number of their party associates, but
that after the useless offices are dis
pensed with the balance be filled with
competent, honest and deserving DEM
ocrats. Indeed there are few office
hunters who are not willing to relin-
quish their own hopes, provided that
other Democrats are called to fill the
places. They would complains and
justly, too, if those who spent time and
money to prevent the triumph Of the
Democratic candidates and the princi.
pies they represent, were permitted to
continue in the enjoyment of the offices.
After all. political interest is fed largely
by hopes of political rewards, and while
the rewards may be given without det-
riment to the public service, no just COM
plant can be made against such course.

CAPTAIN BASSETT..

The Changes Which . Man Who Com
menced His Career As q Senate Page
Has Witnessed.
Captain Bassett, the venerable Ser
geant-at-Arms of the Senate, has been
in continuous service for more than
fifty years. The Captain started in as
a page. At that time there was but one
in the Senate, and Daniel Webster
wanted young Isaac Bassett appointed
as an additional page. The other Sena-
tors thought it a great extravaganza
two pages tor forty-eight Senator's! Ii
was enough to bankrupt the Republic!
Captain Bassett declares that there was
hot debate over the suggestion of
Webster. However, Webster fought
hard and, with his great eloquence, sue
ceeded. So young. Bassett was an
pointed. Although his hair is now as
white as snow, he loves fun and is still
as merry as a boy. Just think of it!
He was Senate officer when the Sem
ate met in the old Chamber, now occu-
pied by the Supreme Court; when the
House met in their old Hall. now occu-
pied by statuary donated by the States;
when the evening sessions of both
Houses had to be Illuminated by ..tal-
low dips He has hearo Webster,
Hayne, Clay, Calhoun, Benton and
Douglas.
The Captains recollection of the
days when Senators dressed in swallow
tailed coats causes him to shudder when
innovations" are suggested. But
these Innovations are constantly
going on. 1t has for many years been
the custom to write the name of each
Senator on strip of iyory-white wood,
and fasten it on his desk by way Of
identification, as, ..Mr. Sumner"
MIR. Cole" "Mr. Fenton." Last
year these wooden labels were removed,
and silver plates substituted, bearing
simply the surname without the sMr.,

THE DRY. ROT SET IN.
First Symptoms Of the Final Dislntegrs
tiOn.

First Symptoms Of the Final DlsIntegra
tion.
If any evidence was needed that the
Republican party is hopelessly rent, the
quarrel between Senators Morrill, and
Aldrich on one side and Sherman on
the other supplies it. II has been the
boast of the Republican organs that
the party was homogeneous on all sub
jeets. That its parts were cemented by
common policy covering all questions
of public interest has been the claim
most dwelt on by the advocates OF Re-
publican supremacy. North, South,
East and West, they have exultantly in
sisted that there was but one opinion
among those of the Republican faith,
and upon that false claim more than
any other has been predicated the ar
guments in favor of continuing that
party in power.
1t now transpires that there is nc
common sentiment among the Repub-
licans on any important question. Upon
the tariff the opinions of the leading
partisans are widely divergent. In
deed, so bitter has the antagonism be-
come, that they can no longer trust
themselves together in the ordinary
affairs of life. The quarrel between
Morrill, and Sherman sharply illustrates
this. During a recent conference the
Chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee demanded that the tariff rates
on wool existing previous to the reduc-
ton made in pursuance of the tariff
commissions recommendation, be re-
stored. To this Mr.. Sherman objected,
and the controversy that followed grew
SO acrimonious that the friendly rela-
lions between the gentlemen were sew
cred. 1t is now said that the real rea-
son which influenced M. Sherman to
refuse service On the Finance Commit
tee was that he was unwilling to asso-
ciate with Messrs. Morrill, and Aldrich.
If the Republican party had contin-
ued in power such disruption would
not have occurred. The cohesive in
tiuence of plumber would have held the
discordant elements together a while
longer, and Sherman and his colleagues
would have continued to fraternize in
the hope that individual or party gain
might follow the hypocrisy. But there
is now no magnet to draw these ele-
ments together, and the example which
the leading men have set will be fol-
lowed by others until the fragments of
the grand old party" are scattered
about in every direction. There is no
unity, no harmony and no hope. From
this time hence it will be scamper for
the crumbs, and in the disgraceful
wrangle that may be expected, even
the remnants of Republicanism will dis.
appear. -Harrfsbatrg (Pu.) Patriot.

We have often heard of the WON
derful glass-eating dog Carlo, but al
ways believed it humbug; but he was
called into the office of the Artesian
House, this afternoon, and, in the pres
ence of five gentlemen and one drum
mer, he ate all the window-glass they
would give him. The glass was broken
in small pieces. and he devoured it
greedily. licking up. all the pieces that
fell out of his mouth. The dog is the
property of Colonel Thomas Wetmore,
of this place, and has been eating glass
since he was puppy. He is a pointer

healthy, and the glass does not seem to
hurt him in the least.-Liuimgston

Facts, Not Specuiations, Are What the
Farmers Want.
The high price of meat and the we'll
sustained prices of dairy products at a
season when most other farm products
are seriously depressed, seem to show
that stock-raising is likely to be in flu
ture one of our most profitable indus
tries. This idea is also strengthened
by the almost universal tendency of
all classes, recent immigrants included,
to use plenty of meat at meals when
ever their circumstances enable them
to pay cash for it. and that too, with
out any great consideration for the fu-
ture. The low wages abroad among
the classes who come to this country
and secure so many thousands of West
ern homesteads, has made meat an al
most forbidden luxury in their native
land, but here on farms their oppor-
tunities for comfort are so much supe-
rior that they feel that meat is at last
within range, and is all the more rel
ished because hitherto it could not be
obtained

TRUST AND OBEY.
Little Girls Success Through Obedience
and Persistent Effort.

A Little Girls Success Through Obedience
and Persistent Effort.
Miss Havergal tells story in verse
of a young girl named Alice, whose
music-masterinsists upon her practising
very difficult music. To Alice it seems
cruel that she may not play easy pieces
like other girls. The chords are diff
cult and the melody is subtle. Her
hand wearies, her check fiushes, and
with clouded brow she makes a protest.
The master will not yield, and she
writes home to her father, who answers
kindly, but firmly, that her teacher
knows what is best. ''Trust and obey
is her fathers advice. Persuaded to
try again, she at length masters Bee
thoven's masterpiece. Years afterward
at a brilliant assembly of musical art
lists, when the gentle twilight fills all
hearts with thoughts of peace, Alice is
invited to- play some suitable strains.
She selects the very piece that was once
SO difficult, but which, thoroughly
learned, has never been forgot ten. She.
plays it with pure and varied express
sion, and secures the rich approval of
one of the masters of song, who. con-
fesses that even to him Beethovens.
music had never seemed SO beautiful
and so suggestive as in her rendering;
Then swift up flashed a memory,
A long-forgotten day;
A memory of tears once shed,
OF aching hand and puzzled head,
And of the fathers word that said:
Trust and obey
The lesson learned in patience then.
Was Lit by love and duty;
The toiling time was quickly past,
The trusting-ti time had heeted fast,
And Alice understood at last
Its mysteries of beauty.
Many hard task may yet come to-
both boys and girls. Let them also
''trust and obey" and by little and lit
tie they likewise may become interpret
ers of life's hottest music.-N. Y EI-
