House.
A government official whose position enables
him to speak with knowledge as to the New
York custom house, and the same who, on
Monday, stated that nonresident of the city
would be appointed collector, said to a reporter
to-day: "Mr. Magone will, unless am much
mistaken, very radically change the methods
he will greatly improve the morale of the SER
vice. The truth is that the service has been for
a long time made subservient to local politics.
service that belongs to the whole people Of
the United States has been made an adjunct of
ward bosses. Men have been placed over
others, not for their character and capacity, but
because they were bullies and could drive their
subordinates to do dirty political work. 1t
really got SO that 1t took about one-half the
force to watch the other. Men were cOntinu-
spying upon others. The political bosses think
they own the federal service, and that it must
do their bidding. Collector Magone will uproot
that system and establish the service upon q
to anybody, and is absolutely free from any
entanglements with local politics. The pur-
pose Is to separate the federal service of New
York city from city politics. and there will
probably be good deal of cleaning out, If
necessary, to accomplish that"
The appointment is spoken of in some quar-
ters as having great deal of significance in
other respects Magone, besides being a busi-
ness man, believer in civil service and other
reforms, Is credited with being one of the best
and shrewdest politicians In the stafe and it Is
believed that his appointment may have some
influence upon the nomination in 1883. At
all events, 1t is said the President In him has q
friend instead OF an opponent In the Office. It
is suggested that the President intends to
gather around him such men as were Tildens

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, August 11.-Dr. Withers Moore, in
delivering the presidential address last night to
the British Medical association, attacked vigor.
ousy the higher education of women. He
created much surprise by citing American ex-
perience as strongly in support OF his views.
Speaking of the disastrous physical effects of
higher education on American women he is
quoted as follows: ''If these causes should con.
t1nue for the next half century To increase in
the same ratio as they have tor she ksst fifty
years, 1t requires no prophet to foretef that
women who are TO be mothers i'm our republic
must be drawn from transatlantic homes"
There is hardly an American phy sician, accord

treated diseases of women, who does not cor
roborate these words This statement is re-
ceived with the greatest incredulity here.
