So far as concerns comparison between
the effect of the crops of 1885 on trade fol
the crop year 1856 and the effect of the
crops now gathering on the approaching
twelve month the odds are in favor of thi,
year. Last year gold went abroad when the
crops were harvested this year it will prob
ably be imported. The corn crop is in al
probability less than last year, but the whea
crop is enough larger to make up. Thu
cotton crop will not be larg r thun in 1885,
and will probably bring less; but wool pro-
ducers have done much better in 1886 thar
III 1885. The hop yield-one of the most i'm
portant of the lesser crops-is total failure
on the Atlantic and a great success on thu

The appointment of John Goode as
special counsel in the telephone case is
in keeping with the reappointment of
Matthews as Recorder of Deeds for the
District of Columbia. The Senate, by re-
iecting Goodies nomination as Solicitor
General. pronounced him unfit for the
public service, but no sooner is the Senate
fairly adjourned than its Judgment is de-
fed by the appointment of Goode to an
;mportant and delicate position, and the
reappointment of Matthews to the place
for which he was rejected. 1t is apparent
that the President sticks to his friends rath-
er than to his lofty pretensions as re-
former and purifier Of political morals

The Civil Service Law.

The operation OF the Civil Service Law
under this administration is wonderfully
ingenious. 1t is construed in various
ways and made TO do service in many direc-
tons. In mugwump localities it is one
thing, while in bourbon strongholds it is
another. Removals and changes are made
in the North under the vague charge that
the persons removed are offensive par.
tisans." In this way republicans are be-
ing rapidly removed from office and dem
ocrats installed in their places. In this
State changes have been made quite gen.
orally. A few republicans still hold
Office, but not on account of the Civil Ser.
vice Law. A Philadelphia paper says
that "every four months of the present
administration there have been 423 more
changes in Pennsylvania postoffices than
the average for four months of the previ-
GUS republican administration"
But in the South even the pretence OF
offensive partisans" is not employed by
the administration in making removals.
There clean sweep is made. Republic
cans are turned out of office without GER
emory or excuse, and democrats succeed
them on the principle that to the "victors
belong the spoils." The mugwumps
keep their eyes closed to the true state OF
affairs in that section. but the bourbon or
gans tell the story boldly and glory in the
course pursued. For example. the New
York Star of Monday says in its editorial
columns:
There comes up a wall from the southern
republicans because, they say. President
Cleveland is not enforcing the Civil Service
Law in that section of our beloved country
The evidence is his dismissal of republican
postmasters and his appointment of democrats
in their stead The average republican poll
tician is clearly mistaken As to the character
and purport of the law. He seems to think
that it reads in this wise: BE 1t enacted.
ETC. No republican shall hereafter be dis
missed from office, and if any republican now
in office shall die or resign. no democrat
shall be appointed in his place This is
mistake. The law does not read in that way
1 lie ETtslutut tHe IlSut. II, " ~
move any postmaster he pieases, and for any
reason which may appear proper to him. He
has also the right to appoint democrats to
vacant misunderstanding. SO tar as the South
is concerned, it was to have been expected that
a largt number of removals would be made.
Instead of being a reproach to him,
the larger the number of removals the strong
er the evidence is that the President is doing
his duty, and is obeying rather than disobey-
ing the Civil Service Law.
The Star gives the Interpretation of the
law as it is understood in the South, but
the mugwumps still shout the praises of
Cleveland as civil service reformer and
endeavor to make the public believe that
he is strictly carrying out the Civil Service
Law as honest men see it.
