Dorman b. Eaton, Boss, WAS rather
pitied than otherwise. As scheme Of
great minis for circulating three Com
misioners through the country on e1-

United States. il attracted no narrowing

what great possibilities were folded
within tlis little mustard S ell Of reform.

that could be feared from its working or
playing Was that the Chairman might
make it matter o. "a book full Of chast-
ened sadness and unchnstened Eng
lish.
None OF the Commissioners has been
an offensive PARTISAN unless it lie Judge
Thoman. who is reported TO have made
speeches in favor of Cleveland, IN the
last campaign. But Mr. Thoman's
speeches must not be laid up against
him. 1t is necessary by the terms of
the Civil Service law that the Commits
toner's shall not all be Republicans. 1t
has been sueg, sted by some thoughtless
or malevolcnt persons that the Commits
sion, undera Democratic Administration
should consist Of two Democrats and
one Republican, instead of two Repub-
Leans and one Democrat, as at present.
We are panied to think that II sugges-
ton SO partisan should be made in this

would Be uukind to cut oil either of the
Republican Commissioners in the flush
Of their hopes. and when their business
