THAT poem on the death of Mr.. Tiden from
the pen Of MIR. John G. Whittier Is somewhat
ambiguous as regards its exact intent. There
does not seem to have been any very good
reason why Mr.. Whittier should have written
it, unless indeed the Amesbury poet regrets
his Endorsement OF the alleged fraud of 1877
and takes this method Of relieving his con-
science. But If Mr.. Whittier really believes
that Mr. Tiiden was kept out of the Presidency
by fraud, why does he not say so?-P -PhiGdeiptid
TocUGIh,
Mr.. Whittier does not ''belleve that Mr..
Tilden was kept out of the Presidency by
fraud" and, therefore, does not say so.
Perhaps the real inspiration of "that poemn
may be found in the fact-recalled by the
Boston Hcrald-that Mr.. Tilden was one OF
the New York politicians who stood In the
free soil section Of the Democratic party in
the controversy over the annexation OF
Texas, and he supported Martin Van Buren,
against the regular Democratic candidate
for the presidency In 1913.

REFERRING to the latest shooting tragedy

II does not seem to have occurred to the

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.

FIagrant Violations Claimed to Have
Becn Made I'm the Treasury Depart
ment.
A special dispatch from here to the Bos.
ton journal says that some of the treasury
clerks who believe themselves in danger of
decapitation by Secretary Thompson's i'm
pending AK threaten to disclose names of
persons who, they claim, have been put
upon the treasury rolls In nagrant violation
of the civil service law. They say the prac-
tice hassbeen where clerk holding high
grade position was found vulnerable on ac-
count of his political activity to give him
warning and allow him to plead sickness
and ask TO be allowed to supply a substi-
tute. Then some Democratic clerk who
could not pass civil service examination
would be put in as a substitute, and he and
the clerk proper would divide the salary.
1t is stated that this system particularly
prevails In those outlaying bureaus Of the
Treasury Department which are not accom-
modatod within the treasury building. The
sixth auditors office In the postoflice
building Is mentioned as carrying on the
rolls clerks who have not been In the city
for six months, aud whose duties are nomi-
nally discharged by substitutes. No other
department but the treasury permits the en-
plOyment Of substitutes.

THE Pittsburg Chronicle telegraph thinks
that the Presidents determination to "0ip
out' ofliceholders for activity in politics,
although but recently promulgated in an
official circular, is distinguished by two pc
cullaritles. The first, as cited by the Pitts
burg Chronicle Telegraph, is that It applies
only to Republicans, and the second that It
Is retroactive. A letter from Mr.. Garland
TO the Senate just before that body al
iourned conveyed the information that
Marshal Ill., Of the eastern district Of
North Carolina, was suspended from office,
to use Garland's own words, "for the sole
reason" that "he succeeded in having him
self appointed as a delegate to the conveu-
tion at Chicago in 1884, and that he at
tended such convention as a delegate aud
participated in the proceedings Of the
same" Our Pittsburg contemporary thinks
that "if the President removes a Republi-
can ofliceholder for participating in q con.
veution which met before Cleveland be-
came President, TO be consistent he should
now remove the scores of Democratic
oflceholders who have since then, and
even since the publication Of the ES-
ecutive warning, taken part In con
ventions. The Democratic convention OF
Vermont was attended by about seventy
ofllce-holders, but no removals have been
made; and according to the Philadelphia
Times, several delegates elect from that
city to the Pennsylvania Democratic con
vcntion are ofilccholders. How can these
things be, and the President escape the
charge Of being a hypocrtlcal reformer."
The Brooklyn Union, mildly MugwumPian
in politics, cites the facts Of this case, as
stated by Mr.. Garland, and remarks that
''this marshal was a Republican, but the
inference is that he would not have been
removed but for his offensive partisanshlp
Certainly Democrat who commits the
same oifense must expect the same fate;
but II several Democratic offenders were
visited with the same punishment II would
have an exceedingly wholesome effect"
Wei, let us wait, and in good time we
may see the glorious banner Of reform uu-
furled from the topmost peak OF II Pan
Electric telephone pole, proclaiming that
the ak Is swinging, and that the heads Of
Democratic offenders are falling. Let us
have faith 1.-the substance OF things hoped
for, the evidence Of things not seen,n aud,
we may add, not likely to show up.

Hopkins University, has thoroughly accom-
pllshed 1t. To him the demands Of the
Knights Of Labor, in their convention at
Cleveland. Ohio, seem neither extreme nor
radical. Indeed, some OF them, even be-
fore the assemblage Of the knights, were
already under the consideration OF Con-
gress. These demands-whch convey the
purpose Of the book-are that the public
lands be reserved for actual settlers only;
that all lands owned by individuals or
corporations in excess Of one hundred aud
sixty acres not under cultivation shall be
taxed to their full value, the same as culti-
waited lands; the immediate forfeiture OF all
lands where the conditions of the grant
have not been complied with; that patents
be at once issued for all lands where the
conditions have been complied with, and
that taxes be assessed on these lands as II
under cultivation; the immediate removal
of all fences from the public lands; that
after 1890 the government obtain posses
sion by purchase OF all lands now held by
aliens at appraised valuations, and that af-
ter 1886 aliens be prohibited from obtaining
land titles.
