LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Physician, Heal Thyself
A LESSON WORTH HEEpING.

Post-Dispatch.
Four years ago Mr.. Melville w. Fuller of Chicago,
a candidate for position the Chicago delega-
ton to the convention which nominated Mr.. Cleve-
land. He was defeated by professional ballot-box
stuffer named Mackin. Now Mackin is in the peni-
Tertiary and Fuller has been nominated Chef-justice
of the Supreme Court of the United States. The les
of this little bit of history is that it is better to re
sist booders than to consort with them.
70 the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
The above paragraph was clipped from the
Sentinel of Wednesday morning, with the head
ing "a Lesson Worth Heeding." Let the Sem
tinel take the needing unto ITSELF and abandon
the defense of Coy. Bernhamer, Sullivan and
other men-some on trial, aud the two first
named convicted of tally-shest frauds. We agree
with that paragraph, that it il better to resist
tally-sheet boodlers than TO copsort with them.
1t is to be hoped that Judge Claypool will BIO
rewarded for his fidelity to the laws of the
United States by receiving an appointment, as
did Melville w. Fuller. the appointse for Chief
justice. Let the boodlers meet with the tate OF
Mackin, one and all. PoMERoY.

NODE GH1H REEORM

A new and extended classification in the Civil
Service depends for its value entirely upon the
sincere and honest desire for reform OF the Off
Gals by whom the old rules have been and the
new rules will have 10 he enforced. lit is the
intent of these officials to secure a non-parti-
san Civil Service they can do so. But they
could have done the same thing, If they had
desired, without the change in classification.
That they have not done anything of the sort
but have made substantially clean sweep Of
experienced and faithful Republican officials
in order to put untried Democrats into their
places, is no longer seriously denied by anybody.
The old rules have been carefully defeated until
90 per cent more oil the Offices have been
filled with Democratic partisans, selected in
most cases for their effectiveness in partisan
work. In the hands Of appointing officers who
have so completely defeated the old rules, who
have in fact used them as q means Of susting
Republicans and picking partisan Democrats,
the new rules can have but one purp0se-to de-
ceive foolish voters.
II may be said that another purpose can be
served, not strictly in the line of Civil Service
reform, but praiseworthy as far as it goes that
the classification may be employed TO distin-
guish between Democrats, and to regulate their
removal and appointments as means OF getting
better instead Of poorer Democrats for Office.
But even this explanation fails when it is re-
membered that the appointing officials have
taken care to select persons throughout the
country, not for their efficiency as clerks or
employees, but for their efficiency as party
workers. This broad statement, also, will no
longer be seriously disputed, even by the pre-
tended reformcrs who support President Cleye-
land. For they openly deplCre the general

SUPERSTITION DYING HARD.

A recent dispatch to TIE TRIBUNE stated that
a woman accused of being witch had been burned
alive by the people in the Department OF La Liber-
tad, Peru. The shock which such an event causes
now among civilized people is proof OF the ad-
vance in intelligence made by the majority every
where, while the fact that so barbarous superst-
ton as that Of witchcraft survives anywhere
indicates the tenacity Of such beliefs among the
ignorant. The belief in witchcraft, indeed, Is not
yet extinct in countries much higher than Peru in
the scale Of civilization Less than ten years ago
o woman suspected Of wtchcraft was duclSed and
nearly drowned in an English village. In the
Southern States not only among the negroes, but
in the moro ignorant class OF whites, African witch
craft, known as voodooism, counts many believers
and perhaps more practitioners than is commonly
supposed In the neighboring island OF Ilayti,
African sorcery continues to flourish ranlsly in
spite Of repeated attempts to put 1t down. Com
