father of the club. He is a polished gen.

can talk politics, and society and literature,

young banker, Ii. p. Upham, the tower of
strength at the First National bank. and
Judge Flandreau. The latter is one of the
brainiest men in the club. He is a polished
scholar. fine lawyer and has travelled a
good deal, heving passed a year in the
Orient with Judge Wilkiu. As they seem
to be exclusive OH this occasion, attention is
called to

SC1ND4LOUS PROCEEDING.

The rcol canization OF the Examining Board
III tie Custom House is the bOldcst step that
has vet been taken to nulily the Civil Service
law. 1t is particularly significant because IT
could not have been made without the approval
of a majority OF the Civil Service Commission
at Washington and presumably of the PreSi-
dent. One of the first steps taken when
Hubert o. Thompson sc cured control OF the
Custom House. tn ough the appointment of Mr..
IIcdden and Mr.. Beattie, wds to reorganize
the Examining Board. The old and cXpe-
rienced men were removed and new ones,
whose only experience wa obtained in manipu-
ating ward politics, were made examiners.
The object aimed at was then only in part ac-
complishcd. The two men who represented the
Naval Office could not be removed because OF
the opposition OF Naval Officer Burt One OF
these Examiners Mr.. COmstOck, was chairman
Of the Board and the oti". was Secretary.
Both were old and faithful employees. The
chailman WIS 50 Designated by the Civil Ser
vice Commission at Washington.
TO secure the choice of new officers and thus
get possession of all the records of the Board,
and be able TO manipulate them i'll way
wholly to evadc the ltw, required the consent
That was sccu1cd a few days ago. The local
board was authorized To make the changes and
Immediately Chairman COmstock was removed
and the Collectors private secretary WIS made
chairman of the Examining Board while
Deputy Collector Berry was made secretary.
The appointments in the Custom House are
made by the Collector. When he wanted to
fill a vacancy the four highest names Oh the
list of " cligibles - were sent to him. The
rules strictly forbid the officers of the EXamin-
ing Board permitting any. person to have copy
or inspect the list of cligibcs This has proved
an Inconvenience 10 the Collector, as he was
unable to hunt UP i'll advance the political
record of each person whose name was sent to
him for appointment The change in the of
fcers of the Board will enable the interested
persons to search into the record of every man
who passes The examination, and the appoint
mcnt of any person not wanted by the leader
of the County Democracy Will be made impOs
sible.
This is a bold scheme. 1t was only made
possible by the conniyance of the President,
who appointed Obciy a Civil Servre Commits
sioner for Just such work The exclusive APP
pointment of Democrats of the County Dcmoc-
racy faction will now 90 on in the Custom
House, just as similar appointments Were made
in the Baltimore Post Office and in the PEN
sion Office at Washington and elsewhere 1t is
a scandalous evasion of the statute. But no
word of disapproval has been heard from the
alleged Civil Service Rcformers who uphold
the President in this work.

NR. BRIGhT rs WHIPPER-IN.

1t is melancholy spectacle to see John
Bright acting ON two memorable occasions a.
the wlippeI-in for the enemies OF democracy
and progress. 1t was his letter to Mr.. Cham
beIlain which influenced the waverers and de-
feated the second reading of the Home Rule
bill. lie had refrancd from expressing his
views until the last moment, and then spoke
with passionate intensity and vehemencc. In
like manner he has delivered his fist and only
speech in the present canvass on the eve OF
decisive contests i'll seventy important boroughs,
and has denounced Mr. Glad,ton@s policy and
methods as monstIous and dishonest. His speech
was adroitly timed by his colleague, MIR. Cham
berlain. 1t was obviously intended TO offset
the appeals which Mr.. Gladstone had been
making to the masses against the classes. Mr.
Bright has never been the champion of the
classes he has been deservedly popular with
the common people; and the effect OF an I'M
passioned appeal against Home Rule from
this aged tribune of democracy would evldentl,
be invigOraLng TO the Unionist cause. Ac-
coIdingly the speech has been made at the
last moment when there was no chance for the
Prime Minister to reply to it. Mr.. Bnght was
expected to influence the wayercrs in the CON
stituencics precisely as he had thrown the
weight OF his name, reputation and popularity
against Mr. Gladstone before the critical diyi-
sion in the Commons.
There are many things in this speech which
are unlike the John Bright whom American
have been wont to honor and admire. H.
lidicule of Mr. GladstOne's ancient history and
old stories about Ireland y is unworthy OF the
broad minded man who has throughout hi,
career attached great importance 10 paten
study of the past. Unbecoming in Mr.. Glad
stone to tell what had happened hundred years
ago in Grattan's time Improper to discuss Tho
circumstances underwhich the last Irish + ailia
ment was abolished, when the question now t.
be decided by the people is whether or not there
shall be another hish Parliament All this
"ancient history" out of date because the whole
tone of English feeling toward Ireland has
changed since 1861 All! Mr.. Bright's own
