Republican newspapers have with
one accord claimed that the democratic
party would revolt against the carrying
out of the civil service reform policy
by president Cleveland. Although
that policy has been pretty strictly
carried out the predicted revolt has not
yet made its appearance. On the con
trary democratic conventions are every
day endorsing the administration. both
by resolution and in the candidates Sc
lected The action Of the democratic
party in this respect appears in strik-
ing and favorable contrast to the ac-
ton Of the republican party when
Hayes attempted TO administer even a
small dose Of civil service reform some
years ago To refresh the minds of
some Of our republican brethren Of the
press in regard to the action Of their
party at that time we reprint below
resolutions adopted at caucus OF re
publican congressman held in Wash
ington in the spring Of 1873.
Whereas, The restoration Of the
democratic party to power would be a
great national calamity, to avert which
all patriotic citizens should put forth
their best efforts; and
Whereas, Nearly 10000 republican
officers throughout the land under
stand themselves to be under orders
from the president to abstain from
participation in some Of the necessary
steps in this great work; therefore
Resolved, That the president be re-
questcd to rescind his order forbidding
participation by officials in the eXecu-

meetings, caucuses, conventions and
committees Of political character.
Resolved, That the secretary OF this
meeting transmit a copy Of this reso-
luton properly authenticated, to the

That the reform policy of the ad-
ninistration receives the hearty sup
port of the democratic party and the
independent voters Of the country is
becoming more and more apparent
every day. An the democratic state
conventions held this fall have adopted
resolutions strongly commenting Pres
idcnt Cleveland for honestly and cour-
agcouSly striving to fulfll the promises
Of reform made to the people in the
campaign of 1881 The independent
newspapers ot the country give the
administration hearty and almost
unanimous support. OF course rcpub-
lican party leaders and organ grinders
are strongly opposed to any reform
emanating from a democratic admin
istration. But the democratic party
gives the president substantially solid
support. the opposition being confined
to those ineomprehenSible politicians,
who. though identified with the dem
ocratic party never realized that a
change of administration meant any
thing more than continuation of re-
publican maladminiStration under an
other name. The opposition Of this
latter class will count but little in
shaping the future policy of the party,
as there is such great preponderance
of sentiment against them. They
might as well join the procession, as
their efforts to turn the party back
ward will be of no avail.

 sad; Some one may have said her behavior was Or that she had freckles and hair that was

 cry. She happened at last from the window to

A Magnificent Request.

An immense land bequest was recently made by San Franciscan. The late James Irvine left to his only son, among other property 1sO,OOO acres of land in one body in Los Angeles County. This large domain MT. Irvine bought jointly with another man in 1857, paying at the rate of 37 1-2 cents per acre. In 1875 MT. Irvine bought out his partner for S250,000. He has since been offered S1, ,OOO, 900 cash fer the property. There is valley of 10000 acres in the tract worth S100 an acre, or $2,000,000 for the valley. Some small farms have been carved from this portion and sold at this figure On the tract IS coal mine which is yielding an unfailing supply of coal of good quality for locomotive purposes, and is under lease to representatives of the Southern Pacific Company. There are between 3O,000 and 49.0O0 sheep and several thousand cattle upon this land. The actual cash value of the whole tract is, at fair estimate, about $4,000,000 -Sdn FTa11ciscO CGU.
