The Best Remedy.

We regret to observe the unworthy
spirit in which several of our contempo-
raries discuss the affair of Mr.. Keiley's
rejection by the court of VIENNA. 1t is
true Mt Bayard might have handled the
case more moderately in his report, and
that Mr, Kelley hurt his own cause
by accepting the Italian mission
when he must have known how
unsuitable selection that was.
But after all allowances have been
made, it remains true that Mr. Kelley
rejection ut Vienna was an indignity
which the state Department was right
in resenting If a reputable American
citizen is not good enough for their
European courts, we shall be obliged to
go searching the country for an assert.
ment of diplomatic dudes, whose pedi
gree, marriages and manners are such
rs to furnish no ground for objection.
The German courts are much the worse
in this respect, and it is said that Mr..
Pendleton's position at Berlin has
been made very offensive by the disdain-
full treatment his wife has received
from the 'chOi gebohrene madams of
Prussia. A recent American minister to
Copenhagen had somewhat similar
experience, and resigned the mission in
consequence. Perhaps the best way
would be to abolish our missions at every
court where our ministers are treated
with any want of courtesy.--PhiLd.

Governor Hill a Civil Service Re
former.

II has been quite the fashion for the
opponents Of the National Administers
ton, to hold up President Cleveland as
n sort Of Democratic mugwnmp, and u
contrast his course in reference to the
civil service with that Of Gov. Hill, OF
New York, who it wAs said WAS De.aO.
crat of the old school welded to the
spells doctrine. The following extract
however, from Gov. Hills message to the
Assembly reads very much lise it might
have been written by Mr. CLEVELAND
birBeli:
The methods of civil service have
become the policy OF the general gov
eminent aud Of some Of the States, aud
like nj genuine reforms aiming only nj
good government and the public welfare
this reform is likely to be universally
accepted The fundamental idea Of thi,
reform is that public Office is trust, ia
be exercised solely for the public wei
fare, and that Offices should be filed
ouly by those best qualified after their
fitness has been ascertained by proper
tests, ~ tho corner stone OF popular
government.
This does not conflict with the princi-
Pile indispensable in popular govern
ment, that heads Of departments and
others charged with the execution of ad.
policies shou6 be men in
accord with the chief executive or ad-
officer entrusted for the time
being with the execution of popular will
expressed through the ballot box. The
principles of civil service reform, as
contemplated by the statute, is intended
to apply to subordinate official positions
which do not involve the exercise of con
fdential duties, the decision of i'm
portant matters of discretion or execu-
ton of administrative policy"

Senators Geo &c and Walthall,

We need not do more than express
our qualification at the uranimity with
which the distinguished gentlemen who
represent Mississippi in the United
States Senate, were nominated by the
Democratic Caucus last night, since,
more than once, we have expressed our
rdmiralion of each of them, They are
thoroughly sound on all matters of i'm
portance to the people of the State, and
the record of their lives assures con
scientious discharge of the duties of the
exalted positions which they now occu
ny and in which they will be continued

Congress and the Silver Question.

Washington reports are 10 the effect
that a careful canvass has been made Of
the Senate ~ to the views Of its mem
bers on the proposition to suspend the
coinage Of the silver dollar. OF the
thirty -four Democratic Senators, twenty.
six are opposed to suspension aud two
are doubtful. Of the forly.two Repub-
lican members Of the BODY, nineteen are
squareIy opposed to suspension, with
one or two doubtful. Those opposed
are two from California, two from
Oregon, one from Nevada, two from
Colorado. two from Kansas, two fEcm
Nebraska, two from Iowa, one from
Minnesota, Sab,n; one from Wisconsin,
Sawyer; one from Illinois, CullOm; one
from New York, Eyarts; one from New
Hampshire, Blair; aud Riddleberger, Of
Virginia This makes very formidable
showing for the silver men. The refusal
of Senator EvAgTs, Of New York, to
join the anti silver crusade has been a
surprise to the gold bugs. As to Mr.
EyAETs, Senator BFcK is alleged TO
have said that the first man to tender
him congratulations IN the Segate was
'YM n. EyARis, and that the New
YORK Senator had assured him that it
was exactly in the line Of speech
which he hmself intended to make to
che Senate at an early day"
So much for the Senate.
We note that the Washington Repub.
lican OF recent date, estimates that
l43 Democrats and 81 Republicans in
the House oppose the suspension of
silver coinage, while 80 Democrats and
81 Republicans favor it. The West and
South, It says, are represented as being
practically a unit for silver coinage,
while the Eastern aud Middle States ap
pear to be almost as soldly in favor OF
its suspension.
Appropos Of this subject, IL the fol-
lowing report of conference betN cen
the President and Senator. The Presi.
dent had desired an interchange Of
opinions with the Senator, and the
Senator msnfully told him that he could
not support his recommendation for
expelIing silver from the monetary
system OF the country. He said
Mr.. President, represent State
containing an area of over thirty thous
aud square miles, which will produce as
much, il not more, acre for acre, than
any State in the Union. 1t has an in.

culture, ! fatter myself that / am

the other hand, when the bill to remone

NY DEAR Sir: | have Just received
you" letter with the newspaper clipping
which caused you so much annoyance.
| don't think there ever was a time
when newspaper lying was so general
and so mean rs at present, and there
never WIS q country under the sun
where it f0urshed as it does in this.
The falsehoods daily spread before the
people in our newspapers, while they
are proofs of the mental ingenuity Of
those engaged in newspaper work, are
insults to the American love for decenUy
and fair play of hich we boast.
\ \
While am sorry that any friendlness
you may have felt or exhibited for
me has been the cause of embarrass ment
to you, | cannot refrain from saying
that if you ever become a subject Of
newspaper lying and attempt to run
down and expose all such lies you will
be busy man, if you attempt nothing

authorizing the Kansas City, For
Scott and Gulf railway to construct q
road through the Indian Territory.
The House then went into committee
of the whole on the military academy
appropriation bill.
Mr.. Wilson, while he was not in favor
of lowering the graduation of standard
at Annapolis or West Point. thought
that the standard OF admission to the
institutions at these places was too high,
and precluded from the benefits of mill
tary and naval education fully 80 pc
Cent. of the youth of the land.
Mr.. Henderson took the same view.
He did not know how a young man
could get TO Annapolis because of the
high standard there and the iron appii-
cation of it. The application of the
standard was such as to make the adj
mission simply impossible. except to
those who were thoroughly equipped
by private tutors.
The bill was then read by sections.
but no amendments were offered and
the committee rose and the bill was
passed
The House again went into committee
on the army appropriation bill.
After a short debate, the bill was read
by sections for amendment. but with
