International Goodwill.

Just as the selection of some prominent
ex-Confederates for pall-bearer's at Grant S
funeral is calculated to promote good feel
Ing between the late estranged and war
ring sections of the country, so the me-
mortal service in honor Of the dead captain
to be held in Westminster Abbey to-mor-
row, will have the happy effect of
promoting that international good feeling
which has been steadily growing of late
a, Years,
- 1t will be remarkable ceremony in that
no foreigner save those of royal birth has
ever been honored in this way, and the
reigning family of England will be present
in person or by representative. The church,
the government and the army of Great
Britain will be there for the purpose,
which Lord Wolseley so gracefully ex-
presses, "of paying the last tribute of re-
spect to one Of the greatest soldiers of our
time, and of showing to the people of the
United States how sincerely we feel for
them in the loss they have sustained"
To be sure this pageant, arranged and
patronized by the powers and people of an
imperial government, cannot add anything
to the worth or much to the fame of citi-
zen of the republic; but it is an
incident that illustrates in remark
able degree how the civil institutions
of the world have been ameliorated in
quarter of century. There have been
many incidents of an increasing interna-
tional feeling between the mother country
and her daughter, outstripping her in the
race of nationalities, but none more popu-
lar and significant than will be to-morrow's
ceremony in Westminster. Under the
roof and through the corridors where lie
the ashes of the greatest, noblest and some
of the meanest of mankind, will be said
and sung the praises not only of captain
and president, but of the greatness of a re-
public and the possibilities of citizenship
under successful system of popular self
government.

digestion Is impossible without pure blood. and
pure blood is never known when the liver and

LANCASTER, AUGUST 3, 1885.
Mr.. Slaymaker's Task.
LANCASTER, PA,

Our newly-appointed postmaster is said |
to be overwhelmed with applications for
appointments to the few positions within
his control. The number of those apply
ing is doubtless increased by the general
assumption that Mr.. Slaymaker is such
Democrat as will prefer to organize his
Office from persons of his own political
faith, and with whom he has acquaintance;
and one who believes that, rs the Republi-
can postmaster here has always selected
men of his political fellowship as his
official agents, any other system of civil
service had better be gin without discrimi-
nation against the party that has been
barred out for twenty -four years.
The INTELLIGENCER has no personal
candidates for appointment under Mr..
Slaymaker or any other official. 1t hears of
agreat many applicants, good, bad and in
different, selection from whom involves a
large degree of responsibility, which Mr..
Slaymaker has taken upon himself by ac-
cepting the position and this responsible
ity he must take fully and discharge singly
and for it, being gentleman of good judg
ment and positive character, he is vel
fitted. Hei at full liberty to consult freely
with all good citizens whose opinions h,
respects, and to hear patiently what can b,
said for and against those who claim hi
favor. But in the end he must act for him
self and the appointments will be those o
his own judgment and conscience.
He is entitled to and will be expected +
choose, first of all, fit and efficient men
no others should be urged upon him, an
if they are they should be rejected, II
matter who urges them. An abundanc
of such can be found among the active, III
failing and unquestionci Democrats G
this city. But when men present then
selves and their claims for consideration
it is only fair that they should be subjeo
to scrutiny. There are some Democrat
in this town who vote the ticket or cut it [
suit their own caprices, and there~al
others who vote it when<IIIey a

committesf' All other things ber
equal chese gentlemen shsuld put the

of work for the party"
There is another class who threaten
they do not get the place they seek TIN
will never again vote the Democrat
ticket. They can be spared.

matters pressed and urgent necessities for
official action then arising, have been
given the go-by i'm the mass of accumu-
lated business. The new first assistant
has gone resolutely to work to clear his
table, i'm the interest of the public service.
Seeing that there are some fifty. thousand
postofIices, nearly all within his jurisdiction,
and constant changes going ON among
them, even when there is no change
of administration, IL would require thu
consideration of an average of 40 case
day to dispose of them all in period o
four years.

THE SHORTEST ROUTE.

The faithful helm commands the keel,
From port to port fair breezes blow;
But the ship must sail the convex sea,
Nor may she straighter go.
So man to man in fair accord
On thought and will the winds may wait
But the world will bend the passing word,
Though its shortest course be straight.
From soul to soul the shortest line
At best will bended be;
The ship that holds the straightest course
Still sails the convey sea.
