The proposed reOr ganzatiOn of the civil ser
vice commission on the lines marked out by
the nominations sent 10 the Senate yesterday
has a double significance. Mr.. Lyman's pro-
motion from the chief examiners office TO that
of commissioner Is in strict conformity to the
theory which is at the root of all the reforms i'm
the civil service-the theory of rewardng faith
full service with an advance of rank. Mr.. Ober-
ly's nomination TO the cOmmissionership made
vacant by Mr. Trenholn's translation is how
ever, indicative of the dawn of a new era in the
reform movement. Nobody will dare insinuate
that the democratic party will not receive its
full share of consideration from a commission
of which Mr.. Oberly is n member. He is man
OF frank speech and open methods. He believes
IN his party from top to bottom and all the
way through, and declares his faith on every
occasion without finchng He considers the
party a. greater than any one, or any dozen,
any hundred constituents of il; and he has
never hesitated to cite, for That paTty's emula-
ton. the example of the Israeites Oi old, who
when they had got out of the wilderness and
into the promised land took prompt possession
of that pleasant territory.

The loss of the steamer Oregon still leaves
good the claim of the Cunard steamship COM
pany that its line has never lost a passenger;
but in this case that fortunate result seems to
be due rather to good luck than good manage
ment. Why an attempt was not made to beach
the vessel and thus make possible the saving
of her and AT least portion OF her cargo, has
not been explained. nor can il probably be ex-
planned on any other theory than that her
master did not realize the gravity of the disas-
ter. How far the steamer was from land when
struck by the mysterious schooner has not
been stated, so far we know: but since she
kept &fiOat for nearly ten hours after the col
hsiOn, and steamed about nine miles before the
fires were put out by the rising waters ii is safe
To assume that ifpushed at her best speed in
that direction she could have made land some
where in the nelghborhood of Fire Island light,
where she would have found a soft butt firm bed
of sand, or at least reached sboal water, where
efforts TO raise her could have been prosecuted
with some prospect of success. AS 1t is, she
will probably be left To her fate, rich as she
would reward "a successful salvage company.
This is greatly To be regretted not only on ac-
count of the great loss sustained in the total
wreck of the ship and her rich freightage, but
because the raising of the hull would probably
throw some light on the causes of her sinking
soon. in spite Of her ten large water-tight
compartments, which IL was supposed would
keep her afloat for an indefinite period. These
undoubtedly prevented her from sinking for
long time; but there is reason to believe that
the openings between the several bulkheads or
compartments were not closed. and that the
precautions taken in the construction of the
vessel were rendered practically yalueless by
cnrlessness. Could the hull be raised settle
ment OF this point could lie reached and val
liable service would be rendered TO the cause of
mechanical engineering and safety in ship
building.

The reported adoption by Mr.. Gladstone OF
Henry Georges scheme of government owner
ship OF the land in Ireland reveals the straits to
which politics have been reduced in Great
Britain. The sum which would be required to
purchase the land is nearly half as large as the
national debt of the United States 1t is not
likely that parliament would consent to such a
loan under any circumstances; yet the effort
must be made, lest the liberals lose the votes of
Mr. Parnell and his followers. No higher COM
piiment could be paid To the strength of the
Irish patriot party than the entertainment of
such a project even in a tentative way. Every
political economist of progressive tendencies,
moreover, will hope for Mr.. Gladstone's success,
In order that the theory so ingeniously advo-
Gated by Mr.. George may be put to the test of
practical experiment There is no crying need
yet In our country for readjustment of pro
prietary interests; but, should the time ever
come Tor such a change, it would be of value to
ms 70 have precedent for study.

Pima county has been thrown into great excitement, during the past few Jays, through an attack by the Apache. on a Mexican ranch, eighteen mile, rom Tucson, between that place and Pantano. They carried off two boys from the ranch, threw rocks at the mother, and told her to inform the in. nabitants of the Ancient Pueblo tha, they would do the honor of calling upon them, within two days. This happened on Saturday morning Two armed par. ties were at once sent out from Tucson under command of Messrs. Samaniego and Frank Proctor, respectively, while couriers were dispatched to warn all settlers throughout the country and on the San Pedro. Before raiding the Mexican ranch the Indians killed a track-walker on the railroad between Tucson and Pantano.
