The President is reported to have said to
correspondent Of the Boston Hcrdli,
"What understand by civil service reform,
as ] am carrying 1t out, is that the Office
holders shall be divorced from politics
while they fill their positions under this
government" Mr.. Cleveland was not
aware that there had been any deviation
from this rule. The New York sun, re-
ferring to this utterance, says: "Mr
Cleveland must know that the ofilcelolders
are not divorced from politics, and on this
account we must suppose that the Boston
HUdld correspondent has misunderstood
him."
The Hon. Dayid b. Hill, governor OF New
York, could give the names of two or three
distinguished ofiiceholders in Washington
whose large contributions Of cash ana em-
phGt!c expressions OF desire for his elcc-
tion were Of great service TO him when lie
was starting in on the homestretch in his
race for the prize he won in November
last
May VIC he permitted to inquire II those
large and timely contributions and those
hearty eXpressions-to which the widest
publicity was purposely given--were in
tended to indicate that those distinguished
officials had been absolutely "d!yorcel
from politics ~
In other days, when sin was on the ram
page and "rnscalsn were in Office, before
true goodness was pushed to the front and
'reformn usurped the haunts OF wicked
ness, officials in Washington gave money
and sympathy to their party In campaigns
because they were not and did not mean to
be divorced from politics" But, it ap.

How strange! Men actually seemed to be SO
deludcd as 10 thinl; that the great Democratic
party could not be trusted to govern the couu'
try.-nc Pirs6'cm in an htCrricr
If one may judge Of the thoughts Of men
by the utterances Of great newspapers, the
impression that was prevalent before the
18th of March last-to wit, "that the great
Democratic party could not be trusted to
govern the country"-has been measurably
confirmed by experience.
Sundry articles, historical and editorial,
which have recently appeared in the two
great Democratic journals Of the metropo-
lis, and especially double-leaded editorial
in one of these journals-the New York
fipaof &c last Friday, would in4yiSfa;qS ySpiS. that
party" "to govern the country" is regarded
as a failure.
But there is this difference between the
situation at the time referred to in the pres-
Dental interview and the situation as It now
exists. The "men" who "actually seemed
to be SO deluded" were Republicans,
whereas the "menn whose opinions are
voiced by the great Democratic dailies of
Gotham are Democrats as well as Re
publicans.
The net result, therefore, of the Demo.
cratic effort to show its capacity for gov
erning the country is TO confirm In the
Democratic mind, to great extent, the
fears that were expressed by Republicans
before the experiment began.

TIE government printing Office has become
practically an asylum for political pets and for
fayoritcs Of members Of Congress. .-NCC YORK
SiUi.
There Is probably no other branch Of the
public service more carefully, intelligently,
and economically managed in general and
IN detail than the government printing
Office. The public printer has thorough
practical knowledge Of all the kinds of work
performed In the establishment. lie was
a very successful business man before he
was appointed to his present position, and,
since his appointment has applied to his
official duties that close attention and sound
judgment on which his previous success
was based. Instead Of being "an asylum
for political pets and for favorltes Of mem
bers Of Congress- the Office is filed with
industrious men aud women who honestly
earn every dime that is paid them. The
SUi complains that unnecessary printing
is done. To some extent this charge may
be true, but the public printer is not bis
own master lie prints no books of his
own motion. 1t Is probable that no sys-
tenn could be devised which would put a
stop to all waste in public printing. The
plan proposed by the Sun Is to abolish the
office and give out the work to contractors
There is reason TO believe that the adoption
Of this plan would be productive Of more
waste, greater cost, and inferior work.
