The Philadelphia Record is one of the few
Democratic papers in the country which has
favored the enforcement of the civilservice
law, and has lavished praise upon the Presi-
dent for every utterance he has made in re-
gard to reform. Unlike its mugwump con-
temporaries, however, it has been honest
enough not to praise hin for what he has not
done, and to occasionally make open COM
plant at his failure to put his professions
into practice. Finally its disgust at the
Presidents hypocritical pretensions can no
longer be contained, and, after commenting
on the removal Of two United States dis
trict attorneys for having made political
speeches, it breaks forth in the following plain
language:
"The administration can get long-range
focus on the misdoings of federal officials, but
it has suffered from strab'smus when its at
tention has been directed to the activity dis
played in county and State conventions by
federal office-holders in the eastern part of
Pennsylvania. The President no doubt
made these suspensions to keep alive the be-
lief in his illustrious devotion to civilservice
reform; however, as the services of the Demo
cratic offender were not needed by his party
in Missouri, the giving him away in order to
scalp the Republican offender in Pennsyl-
vania was a fine piece of political strategy.
But as the time for holding the nominating
convention Of 1888 draws near, the President
will find that his civil-service theory will be
modified until it shall apply only to those who
matthias hold Oo. xca nffiHn.~no00iti00S which
will not apply to his Excellency"
The mugwump organs have not been heard
from on these removals, but it may conf
IDENTIFY be expected that they will point to
them with pride, as proof that the President
is living up to his professions.

THE st. Louis Post Dispatch makes the
point that as United States district attorneys
have no harder labor to peform than that of
drawing their salaries, they ought to be al
lowed to make political speeches as harm
less means Of working off their superfuous
energies. Perhaps this view of the matter
had not occurred to the President when he
scalped two of them for offensive partisanship

MANAGED by a law-defying saloon-keeper,
it is evident in advance, that not one of
the Democratic candidates in Marion county
will dare enforce the law against such men.
The duty of all law-abiding men is patent.
Not a vote should be thrown away at this
time, but every one cast for those men who
represent the party that believes that saloon
keepers have no more right to defy the laws
of this country than have men engaged in
other business.

The Milwaukee Sentinel remarks that 1.-The

dite the cause of reform by offering them
selves as targets for the Liquor League ruff
fans. There must be better way to break

THREE DAYS FOR WORK.

But three working days intervene between
now and the day when the voters of Indiana

what is believed to be for the best interests
of the State and the counties in it.
1t has been proved that the State debt has
been increased by over million during the

A MOVEMENT has been started to provide a
suitable memorial of the late 1zaak Walton,
famed as fisherman of proportions. The au-
thorities of Winchester Cathedral, England,
have set aside a niche in that structure, to be
filled with a statue of the great angler and all
that is now necessary to have him properly hon.
ored is the money to provide such statue. In
behalf of all who take an interest in such
things, Mr.. Poultney Bigelow, editor of Outing,
will receive subscriptions in the United States,
receipting for the same, and forwarding all
moneys to the proper persons in charge of the
enterprise.

THE st. Louis Republican, the organ of tn

unterrified Democracy of Missouri, says:
''Only by the immediate reinstatement of
Colonel Benton can Mr.. Cleveland undo the
wrong he has done to Democracy. In de-
handing it we have little hope that Mr. Cleve-
land will take other counsel than that of his
reformed friends from New York, but we can
not too strongly urge the Democrats of west
ern Missouri not to let their protest put the
party in further jeopardy in the close districts
of the west. Every Democrat sent to Con-
gress now counts for 1888, and Democracy is
something infinitely above the actions or the
policy of any one man, even though he has
been put into the presidential chair by Demo
cratic votes"

WHO PROFITS BY TIE aHRRYMANnER.

The gerrymander will profit but two classes
of citizens: the Democrats in the Indianapolis
ring, and the few Democratic candidates who
may be elected to the Legislature from dis
tricts made to order. The rank and file of
the Democratic party will not profit penny
by the trick. The whole thing, sifted, shows
that some dozen men in the city of Indianap-
oils are at the bottom of it, and that they
confidently count on becoming wealthy out of
Offices that, honestly and legally administered,
would afford them decent and liberal salary,
such as any conscientious man would be salts
fed with. The Democrat who votes to sus-
tain this pool only publishes his stupidity, for
if he were to demand his share of the spoils
he would be doing only what the individual
members of the arrangement do when they go
into it. 1t is apparent to all who care to in
vestigate or to even reflect, that the gerry
mander was conceived for plumber from the
first, and that there is not even the apology of
party necessity for it, since there was no oc-
casion to redistrict the State except for the
dishonorable purposes named. No honest
man can afford to be party to it, nor would
any honest man consent to compromise him.

SENATOR HARRIsoNs LETTER.

The Sentinel, with an immense display OF
double-leaded indignation and a vast waste OF
worthless space, attempts to create sensa-
ton out of letter, copy Of which Senator
Harrison has addressed to anumber OF his Re-
publican and personal friends throughout the
State. The.letter is perfectly proper one,
ment in every line and word, as it will with
that of every honest man in the State of lndi-
ana. It is important for the Republicans to
carry the Legislature, and it is this which
Senator Harrison specially urges, while speak
ing equally for the success of the whole ticket.
The Journal has constantly urged the impera-
tive duty of Republicans working most siren
uously for the legislative nominees. Upon
the carrying of the Legislature depends almost
all the reforms in State management and adj
ministration that are SO imperatively de-
manded.
The letter Of Senator Harrison, which the
Sentinel prints, is as follows. The Demo
cratic organ has done the Republicans IA
vor, so far as its limited facilities permit, in
the publication of the letter. 1t is to be
hoped that some few honest Democrats, who are
sickened of ring rule and plumber, and who may
have read it in their party paper, will vote the
Republican ticket, or, at least, for the Re-
publican candidates for the Legislature. to
aid in capturing that citadel, in which all
Democratic fraud and corruption are en-
trenched
