A CORRESPONDENT in the city, who
states that he has sailed on the great
steamships plying between San Francisco
and China, and that he was on one of
them when her shaft was broken, and
that the shaft was repaired at sea in two
days, and that the ship steamed her voy-
age out afterward, wants to know why
such was not the case with the Anchoria ?
Our correspondent evidently sailed on
the great steamships referred to as a
passenger, or he would know that no
steamship, at any time employed on the
line he speaks of, ever had a shaft
broken. On two occasions steam
ers of the P M. S. S. Co. had
their crank-pins and shaft-cranks broken,
and as these parts are always kept in
duplicate on board the ships, they were
replaced after hard labor and long delay
No ship ever carries duplicate section
OF her shaft proper, and no man could
well fit it if she did. The Anchoria
broke the latter" or hinder section of
her shaft, which lies in the "thrust-bear-
ing or last bearing aft" and is covered
by an iron shield or shaft alley, and
therefore could not be moved without
moving the cargo and cutting out the
shaft alley.

TRUE CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

A United States District Attorney in
the East having been nominated in his
district for Congress, the President has
decided that he cannot accept the NOM
ination without resigning his present po-
sition. President Cleveland's interpreta-
ton OF the Civil Service Reform plank in
the platform upon which he was elected
is, in our opinion, as erroneous as his
construction of the resolution relative to
coinage. The National Convention evil
IDENTIFY intended to suppress the abuses
practiced by Republican Administrations
and Federal otfice-holders, the levying of
arbitrary assessments for political pur-
poses, the using OF public position to con-
troll primaries and elections, the neglect
of public duties by Federal officials for
the purpose of electioneering, and other
obnoxious methods, which were prac-
ticed for so many years under Republican
National rule. 1t was never intended by
the convention to make political eunuchs
OF Federal office-holders or to abridge
their rights or perogatives as American
citizens in the legitimate exercise of their
voices and votes in political matters. The
object evidently was to place the en-
ployes of the Government upon a level
with private citizens, restricting their
action only to the extent of forbidding
the use Of their positions to further their
own, or the political ends of their friends
or the party to which they belong If a
Federal ofice-holder is elected without his
solicitation, by the members of his party, !
to represent them in a National State or
County Convention, there is no reason
why he should not be permitted to do so,
provided it involved no neglect of public /
duty or detriment to the public interest.
He should be deprived of no privilege
which he would enjoy as private citi- |
zen, but he should not be allowed |
to presume upon his position to |
dictate to others in political matters, or
make his Office a means OF controlling or
influencing the result of any primary or
general election. The fact that he is
serving the Government in civil capa-
city should not prevent him taking such
part in political matters as he would as a
private citizen, but he should not be per-
mitted to 90 beyond that point. Indeed
his willingness to forego the legitimate
exercise of his political rights for the
sake OF holding a Federal office should
be regarded as evidence of his unfitness
for it. 1t shows that he is lacking in
patriotism and interest in the affairs of
the country, such as should be evinced
by every citizen, and without which no
one should be permitted to hold a posi-
ton of public trust

THE great excitement caused four years
ago by the financial embarrassment of
Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, when
ne failed to produce something like $2,-
100000 which had been banked with
him by the thrifty people of his parish,
bobs up occasionally through an attempt
TO gain the money by the trustees ap-
pointed by the depositors or creditors.
1t was and is shady affair all around, =,
and but for the fact that it left thousands
pennlless' it should be hidden from pub
lie view.

The Elko New Independent, in refer
ring to the letter of the First Presidency
to the late Mormon Conference at Coal
vile, says: ''The cheek of George Q.
Cannon in calling upon his people to
stand firm, after his exhibition of
ground and lofty tumbling to escape the
clutches OF the law, is only equalled by
that OF the man who during the war
proclaimed that the rebellion must and
should be suppressed even if he had to
sacrifice all his relations to accomplish
the glorious result.

GOVERNOR Hill, of New York, has
commuted the sentences of the Thiess
boycotters, and they are now at liberty.
This was a deserved clemency, as the
men were the first TO be punished under
the construction OF the law which thev
violated, and their Imprisonment has
doubtless taught them that there is a
wide line between legitimate boycott,
and the eXtortion of money from its
victim. The reasons given by the Cover
nor are ample to warrant the clemency,
and his announcement that others who
may do similar acts in future can not
hope for clemency from him, will have
the desired effect of killing the extortion
adjunct of boycotting.

BRIEF authority, in many hands, is a
rope with which the pos SCISSOR surely
hangs himself, as instanced by the action
OF Captain Quigley, of the British gun
boat Terror, in hauling down, with his
own hands, the American ensign fyin g
at the masthead of the schooner Marian
Grimes, which vessel he had detained in
Shelbourne for an alleged violation of
the Customs laws. The DEMOCRAT pre-
diets the speedy removal of Qugley or
genuine trouble as the result of this
officious and unmanly insult to the Amer
lean people.

! rebel side as being brave men of gentle
manly impulses, which they were, rather
than to picture them as prototypes Of
Captain Kidd or Benedict Arnold, neither
of whom they in any feature resembled.
The great lesson taught by the war was
the necessity of obliterating sectional
lines and feelings, and no surer method
could be desired for this purpose than to
hold up the error of the Southern leaders,
and thus teach the youth how men OF the
highest attainments in learning and law
can err when blinded by prejudice.
There is not a true soldier OF the war
living to-day who does not find his heart
softened toward the men who wore the
gray, and no friendship on earth is
stronger or closer than that formed be-
tween the men OF the contending armies
when they parted at Appomattox for
their homes. 1t is just possible that
some cantakerous opposition publisher
has stirred up this whole mess, who
never knew any of the sufferings or
friendships of war, and the men of Jersey
who knew both, being old, are easily led
into the trap, and doubtless used as tools
for the publishers benefit. In any case,
the DEMOCRAT agrees with the Sun in the
following;
"On the whole, the Grand Army veterans
need not feel alarmed. If this book does |
not exhaustively analyze the varying mo-
tives which led millions to face death in the |
war, it yet contains, SO far as we have seen,
no political heresy. If it fully sets forth |
the resisting powers of the vanquished, so |
much the better for the victors. If it proves |
that the road to Richmond and Appomattox |
was a hard road, it also shows that the |
Union soldiers got there just the same.''

A NECESSARY CHECK.

We are glad that the President has
had the nerve to put a necessary
check upon reckless legislation, by
refusing to sign appropriation bills
and Others, without ample time to
examine them.
The House, in its reckless passage
Of extravagant appropriations, had
counted upon the Senate's concur
ring in many Of their measures; be.
cause that body would not taketilne
to investigate them thoroughly. But
the Senate has shown commendable
wisdom in deter1ningto take time
to examine and discuss them. This
gives us a little hope that some Of
the probabilities Of the House, may
be checkmated.
But the elections are coming on,
and the members Of the Hous, are
more concerned how to trim their
sails to get back, than anything else.

HALT! STOP GRANTING PEN.
SIONS. a. II - So

This pension business has been
carried to such an excess that sober.
sensible people are becoming dis
gusted. Itnow leaks out that from
the extravaganza appropriations Of
Congress ON this line and Others
we need not name now, that there
can not be made reduction of
more than twenty millions Of dol
lars in revenue, .... "a. ....e
We do not believe that these ex-
travagant pensions which are lavish
ed ON ex-Union soldiers, isdone from
patriotic desire Of rendering them
for military service; but, on the
other hand, heseextraordinary pen
sions are lavishly given the
more ignoble purpose Of secur-
ing votes in future elections, and
maintaining party ascendency.
WHAT'S still more; these spend
thrifts Of the nations money, which
is thus scattered among the soldiers
so lavishly, are not confined to one
party, but to both; and it is not ne,
cessary now to examine which is The
more responsible; for the remed,
must be largely in the hands of The
people. ~
Let the people speak out in theil
primary assemblies; above all, select
nobody as a delegate to the district
nominating conventions, who vii
support anybody for nomination
who is in favor Of theseextravagant
appropriations. Let them see to i
that no man is re-nominated, wht
has stood by or .absented himself
and seen these bills passed by thu
batch, by only ahandful Of members
There must be a reform here IN
both political parties, and that re-
form can best be done here at home
Let the people see to it, thatin Til,
coming conventions, no man is re-
nominated who does not show
clean hands in these matters. 1t il
time to call Il halt in this line Of ex
travagance.

WHAT SAY YOU DEMOCRATS?

As will be seen from correspon-.
dent elsewhere the counties of Chat.

for only three months. Have we no
man the peer Of the aspirants in the
ether end Of the District? Have we
not able men who are not spending
their time and money canvassing the
District for Office !? Have we no man
who would scorn to visit every
County Commissioners meeting, every
Court in the District seeking the
nomination for Congress. Has it
come to pass that democrats are SO
greedy for Office that they cannot
wait until their ability is recognized
instead ofmaking set personal can
vass tor the nomination? Surely we
have, and one Of those men is Major
John w. Graham, Of Orange. We
are entitled to some courtesies
and to some representation in Con-
gress, who would represent this Dis
trict in Congress were it not for the
majorities cast in the above named

allow us some representation. The

picnic. The men carried a large
American flag, and were passing the
corner Of Erie street when several
persons in the large crowd which
lined both sides of the street drew
revolvers and fired upon them. The
flag seemed to be their target, as six
bullets were put through It. Anil

ficting a slight flesh wound. The
shots were evidently fired by Social.

sight, and the thoroughly fright
