Sergeant Kirkham Makes a Raid.
The average vag will now find his resi-
pence no longer merry holiday. His path,
instead of being strewn with roses, will be
strewn with thOrns and thistles, metaphor
ically speaking. Sergeant Kirkham as
sumed his title yesterday, and to celebrate
the event. inaugurated formidable cruis-
ade upon the unhappy vag. Taking Officer
Leonard, his late cO-laborer in his special
field, he visited that section Of the city so
dear to the heart of the tramp. He found
plenty of game and bagged it. The patrol
wagon was called into requisition and thir-
teen vags were loaded in and conveyed to
the calaboose where they are now awaiting

REFORM.
Tie Object OF Civil-Serviee Reform and
What it Really Means.


The Ford has suggested thai the new
Secretaries ought to set to work prompt
" to remove the ''barnacles' which in
the long Republican term of Office have
fastened themselves on to the National
Treasury. Many Senator, Congress
man. influential politician or shoddy
aristocrat who has been troubled with
worthless relative has managed to get
the black sheep gathered into the
official fold DisSipated creatures who
have disguised even New York society
and been turned out of clubs and had
private doors shut in their faces have
been made pensioners on the Govern
ment through the Influence of their
relatives or friends, until the Washing
/ ton Departments are not without a
number of characteriess drones.
We do not doubt there are many
capable, honest. faithful men in the
Washington Departments. We DO not
believe it would be in conformity with
Civil Service Reform principles t. turn
such men out
Surely it can not be so difficult to I'M
, derstand what real CiYil-ServiceReform
means. Its object is to insure just as
thoroughly capable, efficient and honest
n service in all the public Offices rs is TO
be found in a well-condUcted private
business. To accomplish this bad men
must not be retained. no idlcrs and
drones must be tolerated, faithful and
useful men must be rewarded for their
fidelity, and only capable and honest
men must be appointed.
i President who is nominated and
elected by political party also owes
something to that party, subord nate
Of course to his public duty. When a
position becomes vacant by the expi-
rat on Of the term Of the incumbent or
from other cause, he has perfect right
to fill it with a member of his own
party. provided the appointee is as we'll
qualified and rs deserving Us any oppos
ing applicant.
In political sense this is not only his
right but his duty.
Have not Republican Presidents for
twenty-four years recognized and eXer-
cised this right? Have they not. in
fact, regarded their obligations to party
as superior to their duty to the public?
There are certain offices closely con-
crrncd with the political character of
the Administration which ought to b.
in harmony with the Presidents polit-
ical views and principles, and these
should certainly be filled by Democrats.
The Admin, tration can not otherwise
be efficient and successful. Blu. in the
thousands of subordinate offices merit
should 90 before politics, Just Us the in
terests of the country must go before
the interests of any party.
Turn out raScalS; get rid of barra-
cles; no new appointceS who are not
thoroughly capable and honest. But
all other ,h'ngs being equal, a Demo
cratic President will naturally prefer 4
Democrat to Republican.-N !.

it is true, but enough to distinguish it
from others. The brim will also have
more marked curve than the other
fashionable hat. The crush or opera
hat always follows the lead of the silk
hat as regards shape. but this spring
the brim is little narrower than that
of the ordinary stovepipe. The tall
hats as at present worn have remark

There is no occasion for Democrats

There is no doubt that President

But it is in the appointing power that
President Cleveland has shown a per-

full of the compound every hour for eight
hours until she fell asleep, she awoke much
