Mr.. Reed is not an unknown ana uu-
influential member of mis- party. de IL
the real leader Of the Republicans In the
House-a position he has won by being
the readiest debater and hardest hltteI Vi
them all. There is no doubt that the he-
publican leaders never sympathlzeu
heartily with the civil service act a
great many of them voted for 1t because
they recognized that something OF the
kind was demanded by the people, anu
t1ey were afraid TO oppose 1t.
During the last campaign, however,
civil service reform was not MADE
prominent feature in Republican speeches.
and in the Republican press, Had Blaine
been elected friends would have been re-
warded and enemies punished without
much regard TO the civil service law.
The ann Of the civil service refOrmers
is To fiji the minor offices with non
partisan and competent employees. MI
Reed. who. doubtless, if the occasion
should arise, would make speech that
would call forth enthusiastic applause
from the advocates of civil service re-
form. is out of humOr because some OF the
government employees had the manllness
to obey the law which Mr.. Reed helped
70 make. They attended to their duties
and earned the money which the govern
meut paid them. Fer doing this Mr.
Reed, the Republican leader in the House
calls them sneaks. The men who neg
Iected their duties. and who went to Ohio
and other States to assist the Republicans
in carrying the election by fair means
or foul are. in Mr.. Reeds estimation
honest Republicans. 1t may be that MIR
Reed is right, and that honest Republl
/ cans are not necessarily honest men.
But Mr.. Reeds honest Republicans art
not the kind OF men that Gov. Cleveland
will want to perform the work OF the
various departments. The sneaks, as Mr.
Reed calls them, are much more likely Il
give the government honest service thar
the honest Republicans are.
1t is probable that the views of Othei
leading Republicans or this matter o
civil service reform are similar to those o
Mr. Reed. They have words of praise fol
those OF the government employees wh'
violated the civil service act, and words q
condemnation for those who Obeyed the
act 40 better evidence is needed thar
that furnished by Mr.. Reed-that if the
Republicans had been successful civil
service reform would have been dealt {
blow from which it would not have recOy
cred soon.

Miscellaneous Correspondents.

There are three newspapers IN the
country that cannot understand that tne
war was over nearly twenty years ago.
They seem to think that there is still war
between the North and the South. Inc
three new spapers are the New lorh
Tribune, Chicago Tribune and the Clhclh-
natl Commercial Gazette. Ihey lose no
opportunity 10 create the impression
that the Southern people are bit
terly hostile to the Federal Govern
ment. Their correspondents at New Or
leans. doubtless, are carefully instructed
TO so color their reports as to sustain the
positions occupied by their respective
Journals. Whether they are so instructed
or not they appear to be doing it even at
the expense of truth. According to
card in the New York Herald the cores
pOndents of two Of the above named news
papers stated in their letters that
the only music they had heard at the eX-
position was "Dixie' and My Mary
land" The writer OF the card declares
that he has heard the "Star Spangled
Banner" at the exposition every day. and
that he has not heard either Dixie or
My Maryland
1t is evident that the publication Of
a statement like that Of the correspond
ents in question are very mischievous
and calculated to do great deal of harm.
OF course nothing can be done to prevent
correspondents from sending what they
please to their papers, but editors of re-
sponsible newspapers ought to see to
it that their columns are not used for dis
seminating falsehOods.

Objectionable de-Shows.

Visitors to the New Orleans Exposition
may have an opportunity to see a rather
novel entertainment. 1t is proposed to
have a series of bull fights in the parish of
ST. Barnard, just outside OF the limits Of
the city OF New Orleans. 1t is probable
that such exhibitions would pay hand
somely. They would draw the kind Of
a crowd that is seen at prize fights, or
which collects in Madison Square Garden,
New York, when the slugger, Sullivan,
appears there in a glove contest.
1t is questionable, however, whether
bull fights would help the exposition. A
great many people who do not believe in
smuggling and bull fighting would hold the
exposition managers responsible for the
bull fighting exhibitions, and would re-
main away from New Orleans and would
encourage others to remain away rather
than appear to give cOuntenance to such
barbarOus shows. A good many North
ern people have a very erroneous i'm
preston respecting New Orleans. They
regard it as about the wickedest city in
the world, and ii epOrts are sent from
there about bull fights, slugging matches
and other amusements of that character,
their impression will settle into cOnvic-
ton. The truth is there are about as many
good. church-going people in New Orleans
as there are in any other city of its size
anywhere, and Northern people this Win
ter. who 20 to New Orleans, will be sur
prlsed at the number of churches and the
size of the religious congregations.
Even if the bull fights were to take
place, II is about certain that they would
not amount to much. They would be very
tame affairs. They would disgust even
those who would take delight in first
class bull fight. At New Orleans every
thing is lacking that is found where bull
fights are a national amusement-a
conveniently arranged building, trained
bull fighters and the right sort of animals
are all wanting. The exposition mana
gers may not be able to put stop to the
proposed amusement, because the place
selected for the sport is outside of the
jurisdiction Of the authorities of New Or
leans, but they can be depended upon to
do all they can to prevent their enterprise
from being married by Objectionable side
