nREroRMn I'm NEW YORK.

The last issue of Harpers Weekly, the
organ of George William Curtis, the chief of
the mugwumps, shows that great and good
man to be very much distressed over the
way civil service reform is despised by the
chosen friends of the President After des-
canting on the sorry revelations made by the
Times, another good mugwump organ, of the
way the custom-house is made subservient to
the needs of the great reformers who have it
in charge, the Weekly says:
eff the situation in the New York custom
house under Collector Hedden has been
brought to the attention of the President, he
knows that it is the merest travesty of reform.
There seems to be no doubt whatever that
the political backing of applicants who have
been certified and are entitled to appointment
upon their merits has been diligently investi-
gated, and that the spoils patronage system is
as active as ever so far as it does not violate
the actual letter of the law, while even that
has not always been bar When
once he knows the situation in the New York
custom house as the Times describes it, and
as it is generally believed to be, the President
is responsible for it. = - y If the Presi-
dent believes that civil-service reform is hon
estly carried out in the New York custom
house. it would be impossible to persuade him
that it is disregarded anywhere, and equally
impossible to persuade the sincere friends of
reform that he does not tolerate the most de-
FAINT and contemptuous conduct upon the part
of his subordinates." q
1t is very painful to know that the editor Of
the Weekly is so wrought up over what has
come to be accepted as an unpleasant but I'M
avoidable fact. The President probably knows
what is going on in the New York custom
house. He knows about the inefficient condi-
ton of the Indianapolis postoffice, and that it
has been used for the meanest Of partisan
uses, but it has had no effect on him; and the
crippled mail service of the city of Indianapo-
lis and of the State of Indiana at large, but
that does no good, and things seem to be go
ing from bad to worse at very discouraging
rate. There are good many things the ed
itor of Harper's Weekly will learn ii he lives
and makes use Of his advantages.

two days in succession joyful Christmas music

Christmas and Easter in self-defence; tnat
otherwise their gregations would presently

A YEARS POLITICAL INSTRUCTION

1EAhS fOLlIlCdL lNclACCIION.
One thing the year nearly closed has done for
the country. 1t has made it hard to Dreten or
To believe that a Democratic Administration ia
more honest, more patriotic, more wise, more
economical, OF more inclined to reform than
any other. OF reform there were illustrations
before President ClevelanPs first year was
ended but multitudes have been added
Elections have * iibIted Matthews working
to defeat Congressman at Troy; Stone
removed and Ben on ieinstated for the same
offence. Economy mas been illustrated by a
large increase in the number OF officials, and 10
the cost of the public service exclusive OF
pensions. Wisdom IN government has been
ilus rated by the Mexican 0asco, and the
selection of special ENJOYS and diplomats to
uphold the honor of this country iu that trying
climate. Patriotism has been illustrated in the
treatment of the fishery question. Honesty
means Garland, OF course, and the post trader
ships and the Washington real estate scandal.
These professions of superior virtue imposed
upon some sincere and intelligent voters, who
know brttsr than they did year ago what
Democratic Administration is. As they are
stripped away, the question comes back 10 the
main issues between the two great PARTIES and
on these also, the year has shed some useful
light.
Twice during the year the Democratic party
has tried to break down the tariff. Most of its
n embers frankly avOw that PURPOSE and are
candidiy proud of what they ha We done. The
persons who still pretend that the parry is not
hostile To Protection, AMI that 1t supported Mr..
M0rrison's bill because the measure would have
reduced duties but little, have to confront .he
fact that four-ifths Of the De nOcrats have
av0wed their desire to 20 muc further, and
have supported the Morrison bill only because
there was no chance OF getting consideration
any step toward Free Trade longer or more
decisive. 1t is a good thing for the country
that two struggles TINS year have left less roO.c
for dishonest pretences in regard to this vital
q 'estion.
year ago the Administration was by most
considered entirely sound and trustworthy on
the financial issae. That il Was not in harmony
with ito party was known. But there was a
geuer Il belief that the party would yield and
the President would not. In the summer
months, Treasury officials we're stoutly oppos-
ing the resolution 70 expend the surplus
rapidly, but this winter the same officials claim
with truth that they nave acted upon the very
resolution when they declared dangerous to
tbs public faith and ths pablo prosperity.
Tue President quotes the "expressed wishes"
OF majority in Congress as sufficient reason
for Hdop ing policy which he refused TO make
binding upon the Treasury by his signature.
