The similarity of these attempted frauds, and
the fact that certain Cincinnati Democrats
went to Columbus to ''fx" things, suggests
that it was concocted by the same men. Mr..
Anderson, member Of the citizens commit
tee Of one hundred, and lifelong Democrat,
declares, upon investigation, that the only
fraud attempted was by Democrats and the
only defense of fraud is made by Democrats.
On the evidence of their party associates the
reputable Democrats of Ohio ought to repudi-

impartial examination Of these frauds. They
could doubtless be traced to very few men,

others and to insure honest elections in the

In speaking of the Presidents attitude
toward civilservice reform, as shown by re-
cent appointments, and by his utterances on
the subject, the Charleston News says: "His
object, no doubt is to prevent the civil
groove" The News hits it the first time.
After the Presidents remarks concerning
Sterling, no Democrat need fear that the re-
form will be kept within the narrow limits OF
the law, but may rest assured that its "scope
will be widened" sufficiently to take them
all in.

The physicians of New Haven, Conn.,, are
in fever of indignation over the invitation
of the city for bids to do vaccination by
wholesale. the sum of S., 900 having been ap-
propriated for that purpose. They met and
resolved that they were opposed to putting in
bids. This proves that the doctors of that
city are inconsistent or greedy. If all the
doctors of New Haven are making more than
is offered by the city, none of them will put
in bids, of course; so that indignation is SUI
perfuous. If, on the contrary, it is more
than some Of them are making, and it doubt
less is, it ought to be accepted with becoming
gratitude. In either case there is no room
for indignation. There is many young doc
tor, and, doubtless, some who are not young,
that would be glad to get this work to do for
the city, and make money at it.

To complete the work of driving these men
out of business, the Attorney general was
called upon for an opinion, and, as intended,
expressed the belief that the government
could throw all the vessels back upon the

large sums already advanced on them. This
left no alternative to them but to go into
bankruptcy, which they did. The contempt

IT is announced, as if it were great dis

THE fact that ex-Weigher Sterling stood
twenty third on the list in the civil-service
examination does not, it may be safely as
serted, disturb his serenity since Mr.. Cleve-
lands announcement that, in this case, the
"rule of four would be suspended, and all
the names of those examined would be sent
to the appointing power in order to give Gan
opportunity to judge of qualifications not de-
veloped by the examinations" There is rea-
son to suspect that Mr.. Sterling has the quail
fcations the reformers are looking for.

IT was announced, yesterday, that the
President had expressed determination to
maintain cvil-service reform and on that day
he removed three excellent postmasters in this
State upon no ground other than that their
places were wanted for Democrats. The an
nouncement that the President believes in
the spirit of the civil-service reform act should
be made once more before the clean sweep is
consummated. If he hasn't surrendered to the
spoilsmen of his party, appearances can no
longer be relied on.

A NOTEWORTHY demonstration was made at
Chester, Pa, yesterday, when work was re-
sumed at the ship-yard of John Roach e. Son.
The cheers of more than one thousand men
drowned the sound of the whistle that signaled
the resumption of work. For months these
men had been without employment, and were
running into debt. The works, as everybody
knows, were closed because of the partisan
hostility of the administration, which
was determined to force the great
ship into bankruptcy. This
was accomplished by refusing to
accept the completed dispatch boat, Dolphin
and the three steel cruisers nearly completed
