Their Real Purpose Exposed.

The sneaking Democratic attack upon
the Civil Service Commission prompted
a fine display of hypocritical lying Tues
day on the part of Holman. the Indiana
demagogue, who poses as pairing
economist. He began his speech by la
menting the heavy expenses of tbs gov+
ernment, and wound up by claiming that
the "rider" attached to the appropriation
bill limiting the powers of the commits
sion was not intended to change the
law, but only to regulate the expendi-
ture of money. The clause provides
that no money shall be available for the
support of the commission until it
changes its rules so that tue names of
all applicants who succeed in passing the
required examination shall be submitted
to the appointing officer, meaning, as we
have explained before, that the Demo.
cratic administration shall be enabled to
After Holman had finished his remarks,
Mr.. Springer gave him the lie direct by
loudly proclaiming that the Democrats
would insist upon the rider until half
the government employees covered by the
civil service reform rules were Demo-
Gratis. The work of destroying the eff
cheney, and, as far as possible, the effect
of civil service reform, will therefore go
bravely on. Little incidents of this kind,
which force the Democratic leaders to
show their hands, reveal to the people
the real-the dishonest-side of their
characters Cleveland Leader.

That Wool Resolution.

The House Committee on Ways and
Means, of which Hon. William Morrison,
the prince of free traders, is chairman,
has reported adversely the resolution in
troduced by General Grosvenor, declar>
ing it to be the sense of Congress that
the wool tariff of 1867 should be restor-
ed. This action was expected at the
hands of the committee, as it is at pres
ent constituted, but the flock masters of
Ohio will not forget this failure to place
Congress on record as being in favor OF
bringing them some sorely needed relief.
The hypocrisy of the Democratic leaders
in protesting to be in favor of the resto-
ration of the wool tariff is again laid
bare by the action of this committee, and
emphasizes what has all along been said
by the Republican press, that the claim
was only made by the Democrats to catch
votes.

OId-time Power.

Men who are most familiar with
steam power and modern machinery are
puzzled to explain how the grand struc>
lures of the ancient world were erected.
Builders say that no modern contractor
could erect the great pyramid in Egypt.
and lift the gigantic stones at the sum
NIT to the height of four hundred and
fifty feet. A recent visitor to Baalbec,
and the ruins of the great temple of
Baal, doubts if any modern architect
could rebuild the temple il its ancient
grandeur. Three huge stones, "a feet
long. 13 high and IS wide, stand in the
wall at the height of 20 feet. Nine 9TH
er stones, 80 feet long, 10 high, and 10
wide, are joined together with such
nicety that trained eye cannot diseov
or the line of structure. A column still
stands in the quarry, mile distant,
which is complete with the exception
that it is not detached at the bottom. 1t
is SO feet long, II high, and IA broad.
and one cannot understand how it can
be separated at the bottom from the
quarry without breaking. The ruins of
this vast temple inspire respect for the
genius of former years.

REPORTS from various parts of the
northwest, especially in Minnesota and
Dakota are to the effect that the frost of
Monday night of last week blackened a
good many wheat fields and done con-
siderable damage to the crop. A Mime
apelis special says that in many places
in the Red River Valley growing wheat
is said to have been killed to the roots,
and in others the crop is badly blighted.
From Ada, Mimi, to the northwest. and
from Castleton west. the damage is said
to have been general and severe as far
as Bismarck. South of Fargo, no dam
age is reported. Vegetables have been
killed.. and conservative farmers esti-
mate the damage to their crops at 25 per
cent at least.

IT is noted as singular that there was
so little opposition in the House to the
bill giving the Baltimore & Ohio road
the right to build the Staten Island
bridge. 1t passed with only three votes
against it. The signature of the Presi-
dent will now give that road right of
way across the Kill Won Kull. Riparian
rights have already been granted by the
Legislature of New York, and the final
fight will come before the Legislature of
New Jersey. By January 1st next. the
officers of the B. & o. say they will have

No BETTER evidence of the utter inca
pacity of the Democratic party to gov
ern the country can be furnished than
the action. or rather non-action, of the
National House of Representatives with
respect to questions of great Importance
which demand immediate action. Take,
for example, the question of the tariff
No one denies that there are incongroi>
ties and absurdities in our tariff laws.
Reasons for imposing heavy duties on a
large number of articles, which were
good twentyfour years ago, are not APP
plicable now. 1t is, judging from the
work done by Republican Congresses,
safe to say that if the Republicans had
such majority in the House as the
Democrats have, the tariff would bave
been revised reformed within three
months after the opening of the session;
and the revision and reformation would
have been satisfactory TO three fourths,
at least, of the American people. And
the tariff question having been settled
for some years to come, confidence would
have been restored, and commercial and
industrial activities would ere this have
been restored to their normal condition.
But ever since the meeting of Congress
everything has been uncertain and cha>
otic. owing to the uncertain and chaotic
attitude of the Democratic branch of
Congress.
Instead of proceeding in a sober and
business-like manner 10 correct the in
congruities of the taIiff, the leaders of
the dominant party in the House have
introduced and are pressing measures in
the name of tariff reform which, if en-
acted into law, would strike down more
than One-half of the industries of the
cOuntry-industries in which farmers as
we'll as manufacturers, merchants and
artisans, are interested. The fact that
the Morrison bill, if passed by the DEM
ocratic House. will be defeated in the
Republican Senate, is insufficient to re-
store public confidence; for the present
Congress expires in less than nine
months, and it is among the possibilities
that the Democrats will have majority
in both houses in the next Congress.
Aud should that calamity overtake the
American people, there is abundant rea-
son TO apprehend that chaos will come
again. Hence capital is timid, commerce
is depressed, and great number of
workingmen are idle.-O S. Journal.
