An Appeal to Comptroller Durham to
Modify His Ruling.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Comptroller Dur
ham said to- day there were no developments
in the case of the Court of the Commission
ers of Alabama Claims. The accounts of
the court are being closely examined.
Messrs. Shelabarger and Wilson called on
the Comptroller. to-day in behalf of the at
torneys who practice before the Alabama
Court and asked to be given an early hearing
in regard to the pending question. They
represent that the rigid enforcement OF
the Comptroller's ruling that most of the
present force of the court were illegally en-
ployed, would work great hardship to many
deserving persons having claims which
could not be fully considered If the court Is
to be crippled in its clerical force to the ex-
tent reported The Comptroller was per
fectly willing to hear them and would reverse
his decision if shown any warrant of law fol-
the employment of the force III dispute.

HOW TO no 1T.

1t has been remarked by the people
who like to say disagreeable things that
the use of the civil service reform ap.
paratus has been indefinitely postponed
in the state which will hold fall elec.
tions, and that the much decried institu.
ton known as the machine has been
substituted.
This looks like inconsistency, but an
examination will show that it is really
consistency of the most profound and
far.reaching kind. 1t is the first duty
of everything, even of civil service re-
form, to take care of itself. To a certain
extent the fortunes Of the administration
are involved in the results Of the fall con.
tests, and the civil service reform policy
and the administration policy are identi-
cal. Therefore IL the latter gets a slap
the ears of the former will tingle, and
it is of great Importance that there be
no slapping.
Unfortunately, however, civil service
reform is great moral idea OF the kind
which politicians think cannot carry an
election. They hold that it is entirely
useless as compared with what can be
done by the vulgar but effective ma
chine Left to its own resources both
it aud the administration would gel
what Boston's most prominent citizen,
Mr.. Sullivan, would call slugging.
Therefore the states where there will be
elections this fall will have TO be made

SAM JONES IN KENTUCKY.

We infer from the Courier-Jou,1,al
that Mr.. Jones must have insulled some.
body in Kentucky. This is TO be ro.
GREETED for many reasons, and yet Mr..
Jones will probably be forgiven when it
is borne in mind that he is a plain, blunt
man, unfamiliar with the peculiar
etiquette that prevails in Kentucky.
For instance, how did he know that it
was in the nature of deadly offense to
tell people in some portions of Kentucky
that they ought not to guzzle whisky ?
Or, how could he be aware that it was
an insult TO the "best families" in some
Kentucky counties to beg them not TO
murder their friends nor assassnate
their neighbors2 We do not hesitate to
say in behalf of Mr.. Jones that he had
no idea that he was violating the rules
of Kentucky etiquette. He is so busy,
however, that it is very doubtful if he
will have time to prepare n fitting
apology.-1Hanta Constitution,
National Republican., 1885-08-15

THERE is nothing startlingly sensa.
tional in ''the queens Speech" or
rather in the message Of the tory minis.
try to parliament and the country.
Considering the temptation of the tories
to make this "speech' campaign docu.
ment, and making due account of the
pronounced antiliberal, and especially
ant.Gladstone, sentiments of the queen,
it is strange that greater advantage was
not taken of the occasion by party that
is in pressing need of political capital.
like all the speeches from the English
throne every sentence contains q volume.
The Afghanistan trouble is disposed of
in seven lines. South Africa gets four
lines. If our American Presidents and
other statesmen would strike mean be.
tween this sort of condensation and their
present wearisome verbosity their
thoughts would not so often be lost in q
sea of words.
National Republican., 1885-08-15

tbs blunt honesty of a few OF the
Democratic newspapers is the most hope.
ful symptom that can be detected in the
case of that diseased political organiza.
ton known as the national Democratic
party. As an illustration take the Balti.
more Erening Ne,cs, which says, in an
article referring TO the assertion of a
correspondent that Gen. Grant had
abused the appointing power while he
was President:
Look at some Of the appointments made by
Mr.. Cleveland. or under his administration, in
this state alone. Are there none as bal as
any Gen. Grant ever made? Did the old sol-i
dier. whom our correspondent would critciss
succeed in putting any more disreputable bal
lot-box suffers in place from this state than
our reform President has been misled into
doing?
There is hope of the sin-sick and epi.
leptic old party, when its organs stand up
and speak right out in meeting, hewing
to the line regardless of where the chips
may fall.

In number of states the local cen.
suses intermediate between the federal
enumerations are now nearing compile
ton. Unfortunately New York is not
one of these states-a result which is
primarily due to the inexcusable opposi.
ton made by Gov. Hill. In New Jersey
the returns show population of 1,277,.
900, an increase of 10000 since 1880.
The increase in Massachusetts, during
the same period has been from ,783, 900
to about 100000. 1t would be interest.
ing and useful to know what has been
the gain in the greatest state Of the union,
but official dereliction has left this a
matter for mere speculation.--Ne'O York
