The End OfSectiOnalisln.

y. Y. III es:
The southerners whom Mr.. Cleveland
is likely to call and who are looked
| upon with the greatest respect, are
southerners only as others are men of
the east or of the west. Their promi-
nence is due not to their residence, but
10 their ability, experience. character
and special personal qualities. We may
he mistaken, but we venture to think
that, if they are chosen, there will be
very few, even among the most eager
partisians of Mr.. Cleveland's rival last
fall. to make objection to them on the
ground of the section from which they
come. Moreover. it must be remember
cd that the President elect represents
distinctly the idea and purpose of civil
service reform. That was what made
him the candidate of his party and made
linn President. Whatever may be his
course on other matters-on the tariff,
on foreign affairs, or on questions of do
mestic concern-he was elected to apply
to the civil service the principle of fit
ness, tested by open competition, and to
root out the vicious idea of partisan ia
voritism. He will be judged more by
his fidelity to this purpose than by any
other thing. He will be more anxious
ly watched and severely criticised rs to
this man as to all else. And it is pre-
cise!y because they are to be most zeal
Gus and most capable in this work, be-
cause they are thought TO be likely to
give him the most intelligent aid in it,
that the three southern statesmen have
receierd general public appreciation in
all sections of the country.

A clerk in one of the departments
wrote letter to Governor Cleveland the
other day acknowledging the corn and

in Washington a year ago and had made
two payments on it. Another was
nearly due. If he was to be dismissed
he would not make the third payment.
but would let the house revert TO the
original owner and go out into the wide
world in search of something to DO. If
he was to be retained in the Government
