six months there have been 524 changes made
in postoffices in presidential offices throughout

period, been $500 changes. OF these 61s

IT has remained for Mr. Higgins he of
ballot-box stuffing notoriety, to define the po-
sition of the Democracy on the civil-service
question. Higgins tells Washington re-
porter that he has been reading up the civil
service regulations, and is in favor of the
system but is opposed to the way in which it
is carried out by the commission. This, being
interpreted, can only mean that Mr.. Higgins
is in favor of the law but opposed to it's en-
forcement. If the sentiments of the party
can be stated more correctly than this, let the
statesman who is able to do it come forward
The party is undoubtedly one with Higgins,
and yet some of its members, notably Jones,
have no reason to complain of the commission.

vitiate elections just as much as they would in
Ohio. The campaign in favor of free ballot

CHURCH MANNERS,

While we are upon this subject we
wish to call attention to two matters
in which the majority of congrega-
lions might easily improve their
manners and add to the impressive
ness of the services. 1t is common
habit, when the audience are to
stand during the singing Of hymn,
to wait until the first line is begun,
and then ruin the verse by the con-
fusion of the rising. Again, during
the latter part Of the last verse the
Gathering of books into the pewracks
before the close Of the song is a
serious interference with all devo-
tional effect, and especially so when
that opportunity is seized for the
putting on of wraps, rubbers, etc.

closing sentences of prayer; why
should it be done during the ascrip-
ton of praise to God? Hundreds,
yea, thousands Of Christian people

Arbuthnot, perhaps the greatest wit

There is Sir Richard Blackmorc, one

Garth, a popular physician and q
small poet, of whose verses johnson
has truly said that "no passages fall
below mediocrity, and few rise much
above it," 1t was Garth who said
he was tired of life, tired Of having
to put on his shoes and take them

he was a Christian without knowing

deathbed he sent to Addison to
