UNNECESSARY ALARM

We incline to the opinion that the un.
favorable comments which have been going
on for several days with reference to the ap-
pointment of Mr.. Eugene Higgins as APP
pointment Clerk Of the Treasury Depart
ment are entirely uncalled for and unneces-
sary.
Any intelligent citizen Of the country who
is at all acquainted with the duties of the
Appointment Clerk of the Treasury Depart
ment will fail to see any cause of alarm in
his appointment. 1t is known that the APP
pointment Clerk Of the Treasury is possessed
of no original jurisdiction whatever over the
changes that are likely to DO made in the
clerical force Of that department. Secre-
tary Manning will beyond all doubt take
full charge and run his own department
upon such principles and in such way as
he may deem best adapted to the good OF
the service. He will be most likely TO call
around him men whom he can most rely on
for efficient and valuable assistance in the
execution Of his weighty responsibilities
.ht. ID
State as consistent and energetic Demo.
crst, never failing to put his shoulders TO
the wheel when it was necessary As an
active Democrat he could hardly help from
being partisan. and We would like to have
pointed out those active Democrats or Re-
publicsns who are not at the same time full
fledged partisans. And while We admit
that Mr. Higgins Is both Democrat and
a partisan, We deny that his recent appoint
ment confers upon him any power to origi.
nate measures or dictate policies for the
better regulation of the Treasury.
Mr.. Higgins has entered upon the duties
OF his Office, and his removal without giving
him an opportunity to prove whether he is
competent and efficient to meet the duties OF
the same would be dangerous and unwise
precedent. In the meantime II would be
better II the civil service association would
quiet their convulsivc apprehensions and
the Democratic press withhold any COM
ment.

WHINING

The Cumberland Cipill,an, in its issue of
last week, takes Us to task for our advocacy
of the doctrine that ITO the victors belong
the spoils," and our belief that 1t Is the duty
OF the present administration 10 "turn the
rascals out" 1t says:
1.-THE Rockville Sentinel is the most fero-
cious advocate among all our Democratic
exchanges of a change of public officials.
1t would seem TO desire general sweep,
without the slightest reference TO the char
acter or merits Of those who would 60 out
or Of those who would go In, or TO what
would become Of public business in the
meantime"
When We remember the course Of the
Cicillian, but few short months ago, when
1t was singing the praises Of the "plumed
knight" who was leading the Radical party
on to victory, and the bitter invective Il
then employed against the Democratic par
ty, into whose hands 1t declared 1t would bt
suicidal to trust the management of the gov
eminent, 1t seems strange that 80 soon it:
editor would, like whipped spaniel, be
pleading for place and position under the
hated "rebel" Democracy.
So far as the so-called civil service" hum
bug Is concerned we are free to say that W,
have no respect for it or its authors. 1t was
originated solely in desire to ape English
methods, and to build up under our form o
government an office-hoding sristocracy.-
Any political party that is placed in control
of the government should be alone respon-
sible for the manner in which that power IL
used, and tho President and his advisers
should be left free to choose those whom
they may wish TO assist them in carrying
out their policy. II the Republicans are in
power, as they have been for twenty -fv.
years, let the Offices be filled by members o
that party; but when the people make
change, and call upon the Democracy I,
take the helm, let these gentlemen, from the
highest to the lowest, have manhood enough
to step down and out.
We believe in honesty and efficiency II
the public service, and at the same time WI
know that there are hundreds of honest ant
capable Democrats for every position nnde
the government. 1t is the duty of the ad
ministration to see, as far as possible unde
existing law, that these places are filled by
the men who lsbored to secure Demo
cratic victory, and to reegate to the privat
walks Of life all those who have 80 lonl
fattened at the public crib. And while thes
changes are being made 1t might not b
amiss to look carefully into the record G
those few individuals who, while protesting
to be Democrats at home, have adroitl
managed to secure snug places under tn
Republicans for several years.

DEATHS


In MEMoRIAM of AMBROSE NJ. WHITE,
who died suddenly, March 9th, 1885, in the
4Sd year of his age.
BE ye ready, for you know not the day
nor the hour when the Son Of Man will
come" Such was the text of the Rev.
Father Leonard, who preached and admin
istered the solemn ceremonies of the church
at the funeral of the late Ambrose Michael
White, on March It'll, at st. Roses Church
Mr. White had been afflicted with epilepsy
from early childhood, which he always bore
with christian resignation, and which in
duced him at an early age to withdraw from
the turmoil of city life and seek a quiet
country home with his brother.in.la Jos
A. fancy. He was well known amidst
large circle of acquaintances for the last
twenty-five years as model of the truly
devout christian. From early youth up 10
the period OF mature manhood he developed
a force Of character which endeared him to
the earnest regards of many friends. He
fully appreciated the kindness of those who
had been cognizant of the malady under
which he labored, and which brought him
10 an early grave In proportion TO the
sympathetic feeling evinced for him and the
desire TO alleviate his sutferngs was his pa
thence and resignation intensified To endure
them without q murmur. He never com.
planned of disability or shrnnk from useful
labor. His zeal and cheerfulness to oblige
others was at all times manifest in his alac
rity 10 accept and discharge offices both
humble and selfdenying. His motto in re-
ligion was: "Love God and your neighbor
as yourself" This 1t was that stimulated his
efforts to do good and incite others to initiate
his example. He rarely failed in doing right,
never taltered in his once formed resolu.
tons. In fact his life throughout was made
up OF prayer, selfdenial and manual labor
He truly earned his bread by the sweat of
his brow" With his near friends and asso.
ciates, who are competent TO Judge Of his
virtues, ii has been matter of surprise that
amidst the natural struggles he had to en- =
counter. and his periodical attacks Of illness
he accomplished so much valuable service
in behalf Of religion and the practice of
charity. He was often heard to remark that
he considered his affection and trials in the
light Of piovidential dispensaton, given
him for the means Of salvation. He never
ceased to bless God and to ask Of Him the
grace OF perseverance 10 the end. There
never lived better man than Brose White
His death was sudden and unexpected-a
great shock to his family and friends. They,
however, are comiorted by the firm belief
that when he appeared before his Maker he
was welcomed with those consoling words /:
swell DONE thou good and faithful servant
enter into the joy Of thy Lori"

In the Treasury Department Secretary
Manning has already commenced the good
work. He has reduced the Special Agents
division by sending out into tho cold world
six Special Agents, twenty-six special In
spectors of Customs and ten employees on
the fraud roll" The Secretary believes the
Government can get along with twenty-five
agents, twenty-five inspectors and fifteen
"fraud" employees. The rest are too much
"fraud" for him to sanction. They are bar
nacles, and Secretary Manning has scraped
them off.

AFTER exclusive control Of the money
belonging to Uncle Sam for quarter OF
a century, the Republicans on the 4th
day of last March turned it over TO the
Democrats. A count of the contents OF
the treasury vaults has just been COM
pleted by the new administration, and
not cent was found missing. This re-
suit is remarkable, and only proves that
the servants of the people under Repub-
lican rule were thoroughly honest and
trustworthy. 1t remains to be seen in
what condition the Democrats will leave
affairs in this department when they
shall again yield up the power 80 long
and honorably held by the opposition.

DEATH OF SAMUEL. L. OSBORN

The not unexpected news of Mr.. S. l..
Osborn's death was received with pro-
found sorrow in this city Wednesday
morning, he having died of consump-
ton at his residence three miles east of
Mankato, Tuesday evening, May 18th, at
7:30 o'clock. For several months Mr..
Osborn's recovery had been despaired
Of, and two weeks since his brother-in-
law, Mr.. ]. w. Bailey, of Princeton, ILL.,,
was telegraphed for, it being at that
time thought that he could survive but
few days longer at most, and he ar
rived the second day thereafter, remain
ing to the close of Mr.. Osborn's life.
Mr.. Osborn was born January 25th.
1889, at Carpenterville, Ind, and receiv-
ed good education. At the breaking
out of the rebellion, and while in the
last year of his course at Bloomington
College, he enlisted in an Indiana regi-
ment, and subsequently was promoted
to several important regimental posi-
tons in Col. John Osborn's and other
regiments. In the battle of 'Chicka-
manga he became 80 excited and enthu-
siastic that he seized musket and
pressed forward in the thickest of the
fight, but came out unframed. He was
in many other engagements of note, but
the one mentioned was the most fatal
in results. At the close of the war he
returned TO his Indiana home, where
he engaged In business and remained
till 1871, when he moved to Mankato
and opened real estate office. His
history here is generally known by a
large number OF people of Blue Earth
county. He was the last OF a family of
six children, and the mother survives
them. He lost q younger brother in the
army and the germs of his own malady
were gathered there.
March 2, 1859, he was married to Miss
IAvenia McClelland-eight children be-
ing the fruit of this union, two of whom
preceded the father to the land of eter-
nal rest. Mr.. Osborn with his wife unit
ed with the Presbyterian church in 1870,
and was faithful and consistent
christian to the end. The funeral
services were held at the family resi-
dence at three o'clock Thursday after
noon, Rev. G. c. Pollock officiating, and
the official members of his church act
ing as pall-bearers, after which his re-
mains were laid away in Glenwood.
May God De merciful to the surviving
members OF the family, for they have
lost kind husband, and indulgent and
afectionate father, and the community
one of its best and most honored citi-
sens.
