The country has been edited by vario is
statements Of press correspondents specu-
lating on the motives Of Senator Edmunds
in the controversy between the Senate aud
the President. Some say his aim is simply
to restore himself to leadership in the
Republican party, he having lost prestige In
the last presidential campaign.
This effort to foment strife I'm the Repub.
lican ranks should not be encouraged.
Whatever may he said Of the senator's
course in 1884, there is no question that he
is doing good work now for the Rcpubli-
can party and the country. lie should be
sustained, for his position is simply i'm
pregnable.
If the Republican party expects to win
in the elections of this year, and in the still
more important campaign Of 'Ss, 1t cannot
afford to strike down its leaders because
of past disagreements among its members.

IT is said to-day that Mr.. Wise will not reply

If Mr.. Wise would vindicate his patro.
nymic he will postpone replying to that
speech until the Goth instant, or the 3lst Of

even so stupendous a statesman as the Hon
George d. Wise, of Virginia, to successfully
assault such an array of solid facts as Mr..
Brady put into his speech. On the whole
it will be best for Mr.. Wise to let it severely
alone

The Washington correspondent of a

good cause of civil service reform this
loving lift
1t lis understood that the House labor COM
mitteo will report iavorably Mr.. Gibson's bill
allowing the heads of departments to appoint
laborers without competitive examination,
and then to assign such appointoes TO clerical
work. 1fsuch Il bill become n law II will en-.
able heads of departments to knock the civil
service law sky high though, judging from the
past, 1t is highly probable they would not do
1t, as they, at least those from the south seem
TO be even more infatuated with that law than
the President.
As the Democratic House will not p ass
this bill, the Republican Senate will not
have the satisfaction of killing It. But
such sneaking plan for assassinating the
civil service law is flt to grace the inner
temple Of Democratic reform.
