Mr.. Blaine broilS an independent com
mittee" that operated from Boston during
the recent campaign for saying that he had
sneered at civil service reform. lie re
states what he had said. as follows:
In effect, said that the English civil ser
vice, which was held as model by those
who left the republican party two years
ago. is now under investigation and appar
ent condemnation by the English them
selves: that the British ministry have insti
tuted a commission Ia examine into the
alleged abuses, and that Geo. W. Smalley.
apparently agreeing hitherto with American
admirers of the English service now de
clares the belief in England to be that the
civil service is worse in all the departments
of the government t..In 1t was forty years
ago. Mr.. Smailrv gives a somewhat de
tailed recital of the defects and abuses al
legged to exist IN the English service-de-
fectS and abuses which were never attrlb-
uted to our own civil service by its most
merciless censor.
Ny argument implied. and was intended
to imply, that the republican party had
been wise in not adopting the English syS-
TEN with its life tenure and its large pen
sion list and all the attendant evils. which
have at last demanded investigation by a
ministerial commission.
In short. though did not say so in words,

worst leaders and guides for a continental
republic are those who persist in seeing the
perfection of human government in an i'll
Sular monarchy whose conditions are in all
respects radically different from those of
our own broad land. The Massachusetts
independents should learn that American
inspiration ends where imitation of England
begins.

The old story Of the poor soul who was

sea, gets a new illustration from the deal
ing of doctors and drugs with malaria The
story is soon told: My daughter" said a
lady, had been struggling with malaria for
four years. She was all the time out of
health-pOOr appetite, diSordered digestion,
pale eartny color, pain in the head, limbs
and back, and every now and then a right
hard chill, followed by fever. Then we
would send for our doctor and he would
prescribe quinine. just as he did from the
first-and 50 kept doing all along the
name of quinine sounds like the tOlling of
the bell. Clearly between tine two, her
health was being ruined and her very life in
peril. She was really between The devil
and the deep sea- Sometimes the name is
varied and it Is called some other inc in
place Of quinine. but it is all the same-the
old firm with new sign. In this dlema a
lady friend said: Why not try Humph-

malaria, but restored her To perfect health,

holes and rubbish heaps. but has lately been
leveled, and its acreage added Ia the desert
plain formed by the disappearance of the
other structures.
The adventurous explorer who. with the aid

Proper Method of interviewing,

thorne-Lowcll episode that Mr. HGw-
thorne's mistake lay in not proceeding
with his interview after the manner of
professional journalists. Instead of de-
pending on his memory for Mr. Lowcll's
words, he should have taken out his note
book and pencil and written them down
as they were uttered - This is very true,
and then after the interview had been
put in type, a proof should have been
submitted TO Mr.. Lowell, so that, if any
error had been committed in the writing,
he could have corrected it. That is the
rule in The Sun office, and it is the rule
which ought to be observed everywhere.

The committee wish to emphasize their

task of ultimately triumphant action in fur

lieve that the true policy of the friends OF
temperance is not to seek the destruction of
the republican party and thus render Ger

ance, but to strive by every legitimate
means 10 awaken the conscience of all vO-
tiers who are not yet thoroughly moved TO
the enormity of the curse of the liquor traf
