THE New York World is not to be fooled
by the report Of the Ciyil-service Commission
in the case of Postmaster Weary. Under the
caption of "Stabbing the Law" it says the
report is "a practical abandonment of civil
service reform as it was heralded in at the
commencement of the present administration
and as it has been proclaimed in the letters
and utterances of President Cleveland" For
the benefit of our esteemed mugwumpian con-
temporaries, we Gull out few choice sentences,
merely remarking that they are not the ex-
pressions of wicked Republican ''organ,
but of a Democratic newspaper. Here are
some:
"The report is post-mortem examination
of the dead body of a non partisan civil
service
'sThey proceed to show that the Civil-service
Commission has no authority to question the
right of an appointing officer to make remov-
ais from the service, unless person is re-
moved for refusing TO pay political assess
ment, or to do political service or because
he has refused to let his Political action be
coerced by public officer. Indeed, the Com
missioners say that the power Of removal is
practically unrestricted"
"What farce, under this Interpretation,
becomes the civil-service act and rules! How
worthless are all the paper announcements of
non partisanship in the public service to which
the country has been treated
s.The Commissioners admit that if the ap-
pointing officer maintains silence, and there
is no circumstantial evidence to show that
his choice has been controlled by political con-
siderations, he cannot be properly charged
with discrimination.
"The opinion is written on dead case"
'sDoes it not point the way to an easy
evasion of the law and the rules in the very
live case of the New York custom house,
1--WE insist that the civil-service law shall
be openly abandoned or faithfully admins
tered. It must not be stabbed to death by
the assassin knives of political Civil-seryice
Commission"

THE City Council will hardly take the re-
sponsibility Of awarding the Washington
street paving contract under the present cir
cumstances. There may be some corrupt
men in the City Council but certainly the
large majority of the Council and Board of
Aldermen are honest, and have the best inter
ests of the city at heart and are disposed to
do equal and exact justice. The journal
does not believe that the aldermen and Coun-
Gil of indianapolis will subject themselves to
the charges that have been made and proven
in regard to the New York city boards, and
that have been so widely circulated at home
and abroad as to those bodies in Chicago, Gin
cinnati, ST. Louis and other places. The pro-
posed Washington street pavement is fraud
and swindle. Under the impression
and assurance that the cost of the work would
not exceed six or seven dollars per lneal foot
OH each side Of the street, and from which
should be taken the part of the expense to be
borne by the Street Railway Company, thus
reducing the cost to somewhere about FIVE
dollars a foot, many signatures were obtained
to the petition to repave the street After
this petition was presented and an ordinance
introduced to make the improvement con-
templated, at the instance of some one or of
several ones, the Journal does not know who,
the ordinance was changed so as to make an
entirely different sort of job, possibly J.
o. B. in which many may have been inter
ested. Instead of a cost of about FIVE or six
dollars per lineal foot on each side, the lowest
bid is now $l2.4 40 per lineal foot on each side,
and entailing an expense or charges
upon the city of from fifteen to twenty thou
sand dollars for the paving along and across
the interesting streets and alleys. The Jour
nal is advised by gentleman who was then
and still is the owner of property fronting on
Washington street, that under the terms of
the petition and ordinance by which the last
pavement was laid on that street, the AUDITING
property owners then paying for the same, it
was expressly agreed and ordained that in
consideration of such payment the city would
thereafter keep the street in repairs
without additional charge or expense
to the property-owners further than
their proportion Of the general taxes.

single question to him for opinion. Nor has
he accepted single recommendation from
him in that time. The intention of the Pres
ident, it is alleged, is to make it so unpleasant
for him that he will resign. This is not the
way the man from Buffalo. is represented as
doing business. The public has been led to
believe that he was a man not afraid to do his
whole duty, without circumlocution or mine
ing of words. If this account be true, he is
anything rather than brave man intent on
keeping the public service free from odors of
corruption.

HE Presidents evident hostility TO the
Union veteran, as shown in his numerous We
toes of bills to pension them, is nothing new.
For years he has not failed to indicate that he
has no sympathy with them, and that their
claims for recognition do not meet with a
ready response from him has been demon
strated in manner that admits of no denial.
Instead of stretching point to favor them,
he has made it rule to deny their claims
whenever the narrowest technicalitv allows
him do so. That he enjoys this power to
stand between the soldiers of the Republic
and the poor compensation that is offered them
is attested by the coarse and brutal manner
in which he treats them, making fippant
iests at the expense of wounds received in the
service, and discounting the value of these
men to the country for which they fought.
While Mayor Of Buffalo he vetoed an ordi-
nance appropriating $500 for the observance
of Memorial Day
He vetoed bill, as Governor, allowing
Grand Army posts to use State muskets-the
posts to give good security for the safe keep
ing of the arms.
A one-a armed veteran named James Young
was employed on the State Capitol, at Albany,
and made an almost helpless cripple by an ac-
cident there and he vetoed bill for his re-
lief, although the Grand Army all over the
State petitioned therefor.
He vetoed bill making it misdemeanor
for any person to wear a Grand Army badge
who was not veteran of the war of the Rebel
lion. This bill was also petitioned for by
thousands of veteran soldiers.
He vetoed.a bill providing that the State
should furnish each veteran of the war of
1S61-65 with an engraved copy of his honora-
BILE discharge. He also objected to bill to
provide headstones for graves of deceased sol
diers from New York, but it was passed over
his objection.
Coming now to a position of greater power,
he still maintains his attitude of hostility to
the men who served in the Union army, while
doing all he can in reason for the promotion
and advancement Of those who fought on the
side of secession. Thousands of Union vet
Grams have been cut adrift to make places for
those who were opposed to them on the field
of battle. In every way possible he is making
it honorable to have served in the confederate
army, and of questionable repute to have been
a loyal veteran. AT every step in his career
he has been opposed to the idea of doing any
thing that did not have to be done for the
men who served their country when it was in
peril. 1t is possible that this species of penu-
robustness and ingratitude may please certain
people, but it is libel on the American
Nation to say that this kind of thing is de-
manded by the people of the Union saved
from ACKNOWLEDGMENT and destruction by the
men whom he delights to dishonor and deride.

glish elections:
