No candid observer of men and parties
can fail to see that the blatant civil SER
vice reform of the Democratic party has
turned out to be mere sham and hypoc-
risy. 1t is plain now that the professions
Of the party were merely for effect Mr..
Cleveland's famous letter to Mr.. Curtis
was good campaign document The
bombast and high-hown hypocrisy of the
Democratic stump speakers, when they
dilated upon the necessity of reforming
the public service, had its intended effect
as campaign tactics. But what have all
these fair professions, and all this polt-
lcal logic, amounted to now that the
Democratic party has attained the goal of
its ambition The people can see plainly
enough now, that it was all a masquerade
of spoil seekers.
Take for instance the Democratic out
cry about Republican ofiiceholders in the
South. How long have the Democratic
journals been reiterating the accusation
that the Federal officeholders at the South
were almost without exception ignorant
and Incompetent men, who got their
places simply because they were willing
to do dirty political work for their patrons.
LET the Democratic party come into
power" was the cry, "and we will turn
these rascals out !" The Democratic party
has come into power, and what is the re-
sult' The people have naturally expect
ed two things of the administration, in &C
cordance with its professions First, the
turning out of all the rascals in the Fed
eral service, especially throughout the

Honesty is the best policy-so is temper
ance. according to the Knights of Labor,
They discourage the use and sale of liquor
purely on grounds of expediency. A man
drinks, and his disposition to commit deeds
of violence is encouraged. Acts of VIC
lence rouse public prejudice; therefore, it
is ineXpedent for the laboring man to
drink. This is rather of a low plane upon
which to inculcate morality but, after all,
any motive which encourages virtue ought
to be itself encouraged.

The present Is truly an age of cheap
books. Firm after firm of publishers is
adopting the plan of publishing standard
literature at prices which bring the best
books of the best authors within reach of
the slenderest purse. The day of exorbi-
tant profits by the great publishing
houses is past. A few cents will now buy
a classic, and few dollars a library The
result of thus placing the best books
within the reach of all the people cannot
fail to be an advance in public intelli-
gence and morality.

The fact that more than half of the ar
rests made in the State of Maine during
the past year were for drunkenness, af-
fords rather mournful commentary up
on the way in which the prohibitory law
is enforced in that State. Unless the ad
vocates of prohibition in certain States
bestir themselves, and see to it that the
law is carried out in letter as well as il
spirit, popular sentiment will be won ovel
to the side of high license which we be
lieve would be public calamity.

In every act of life we find the proofs of

the human family.
without the recognition of HIS goodness
and power in all our cndcavors, the lives of
men ana the continuance of governments
would prove abortiVe Of all good.
1t is fitting. therefore, that the people oil
this Christian state in humble acknowledge
ment of the well known laws of God in His
dealings with His children, should at all
times and under all circumstances, ana eS-
pecally at this season of the year, to accord
with the usagcs of New England which have
estab shed and made halowcd an a nual
fast. turn aside from their ordinary duties
and pleasures, and, in due humility, confess
their dependence upon His strength and
mercy forthe blessings He has so bountifully
vouchsafed.
do therefore, appoint Friday, the 9th
day of April next, as day OF fasting humill-
alton and prayer.
May the people of this state turn their
hearts and minds toward God as the fountain
of all good and unitcdly implore forgiveness
of our sins. Let us dedicate our lives in sim
cere conservation to Him, and earnestly sup
plicate IA continuance of His divine favor anu
prot, elton.
Let us implore comfort for the afflicted, re-
lief for the distress, d and hope for those who
are oppressed or despair.
Let us invoke the blessings of perfect
standard of justice between our fellow men,
that integrity and honor, a high morality and
a pure religious sentiment may pervade the
ives of all that He may continue to protect u
from the ravages OF pcstilence and plague, and
from disaster and danger; that the blessings
of peace and civil and religious freedom may
abide with us; that the evils of intcmperance,
ignorance and every source of social disorder
may be averted from us that the work OF our
lives may he more Jealous in the promotion
of education. benevoence and charity.
To these and kindred ends, recommend
that all our people on that day abstain from
unnecessary labor, recreation and amust ment
and assemble in their houses of worship and
consecrate the day to such public and private
services as may be betting its religious obser
vance throughout the State.
