tion on the subject Of civil service e
form as follows: Democratic princi-
Piles cannot be carried out unless
there is a party organization to carry
them out. They cannot he carried GU,
by placing Republicans in office-or by
keeping them there. Public office is a
public trust, aud the voters of this
country have decided that the Dem

Republicans. They have decided
that the government and it's offices
shall be placed in the keepi g of the
Democrats. and when their will in
this matter is carried out, we shall
have genuine civil service reform,

The Dayton Democrat has this to
say of the appo ntment of b. Della
court. editor of the National Zeitany.
who was appointed deputy collector
of this revenue district. "Mr. Della
court is an old Democrat of Butler
county, n very highly respected citi-
zen, aud has rendered the party good
service by his paper. 1t is a gool
appointment. We ere glad to see an
editor recognized once in a great
while, at least. The usual theory is
that a partisan editor SHOULD do all
the work. take all the abuse frnn all
quarters. including the wise" (?)
men ofhis own party as well as wick
ed men of the opposition. and get
nothing for il in the end except III
satisfaction OF having helped other

Precious Metals.

There is a most popular impression that gold
is the most precious and valuable, in a money
sense. of all the metals. Such is not the case,
however, as there are twenty-five known met
ais worth more money to the pound than gold.
Vanadium, the most valuable of all metals, is
worta &c. 900 per pound. Between gold and
silver there are eight metals of different val
ues, that of the least being $50 per pound.
Erchunye.
| Now this is sad news. as we have
been taught by the stump speakers
from our early boyhnod, that sold
and silver we're the precious metals.
and therefore the God appointed ma
terial for money, but it now turns
out that there are twenty two more
precious than our old "heathen'
gold and silver, and the real fact
are thereby shown that it is TIN

worth. But the longer we live th'
