CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

There is good deal of expressed regard for civil service reform just now by those who must ''git up and git" after the 4th of next March That their new born love for system that they were wont to char acterize as humbug may be tinged some what with selfish consideration of per sopal consequences will probably not de tract from the supposed sincerity of their present devotion. And on the familiar principle that t'is better late than never the zeal for reform that marks these con yerts will be appreciated by those whose interest in civil service reform is entirely unselfsh and patriotic This zeal will probably grow, and we may expect that, before President elect Harrison shall have entered the white house, it will equal that which was professed by the rascals who were not turned out during the past four years.
 As for those who believe that President Cleveland paved the way for bis defeat by his failure to man the offices entirely by those of his own political faith, who be- lieve that civil service reform was a snare and trap into which the president tum= bled they may possibly see their ide@s vindicated by the next administration. If the record of the president-elect be any criterion we may readily accept as Pick wickian the declaration in his letter Ot acceptance that ''only the interests of the public should suggest removals from office," and that it will be his 'sincere purpose, if elected, to advance the reform. y From q man who when senator was most persistent spells hunter, who, in the words of Blaine, "applied for thirteen more con sulships than there are on the whole list, we may expect little regard for that plank in the Chicago platform which declared l that ''the spirit and purpose of the reform should be observed in all executive ap pointments, and all laws at variance witt the object of existing reform Legislation should be repeaied to the end that the dangers to free institutions which turk il the power of official patronage may be wisely and effectually avoided Harrison has never laid himself open to the charg, of being a civil service reformer, and W, need not expect that when he is in powe, he will forget the theories or the practices of Andrew Jackson.
 Civil service reform under the admins tration of President Harrison will be less O condition than theory, but it may serv, to open the eyes of the next democrat who 1
 not gold that glitters, even the devotion
 that republicans express for reform whel
 like Tantalus they cannot touch the apple
 of power. The return to the spells system which is an apparently assured consequence of Harrison's victory will not be withou
 its extenuation if it brings home to tn democrats the truth that civil service re form, like the prohibition vote, is d.,
 barren ideality.

imposed, that this country wouldpositi7ely benefit from shutting out importatlons altogether and putting up Chinese wall around the country, that any interference with the existing rates of duties meant a reduction of wages, that the industries ot the country would be laid low and the happy homes of the workingmen destroyed if the pruning knife of reform was put to the tariff. The tariff as it is was held up as the safeguard of the country, as the Alaldins lamp without whose light our prosperity would be eXtinguished. But the republican party carries the cleo ton, and presto! the scene changes It Is now hinted that the tariff is a tax, that the cost of articles is increased to the consumer to the extent of the duty imposed, that after all the tariff is unjust, illogical and ineouitable," that it can be revised with out destroying altogether the industries ot the country that grass will not be found growing in our streets or our worklngmen marching hungry and naked begging for work or bread if the inequalities of tE e tariff are adjusted Truly, the labors ot the democratic press, the oratory of the democratic speakers, and the arguments of the party leaders have not been without their fruits in bringing the republican organs, and through them the republican statesmen, to a realization that the tariff Is tax, that it is an unnecessary tax. and that unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa ton.
 We'll, if the Fifty-irst congress, urged by the republican organs on whom new light has broken, shall revise the tariff il the interests of American industries, if by taking off the tax on raw materials they stimulate manufacturing and so increase the demand and wages for labor, the coun try may be disposed to pardon the hypoc risy and the deceit on which their campaign was built Truly, the campaign of educa ton will not have been wholly withou result if such consummation be attained even through the party of trusts, ,monopolie: and eXorbitant taxation.

She wears at afternoon teas kid shoes made like gloves Each toe of her feet has separate pocket of kid in which it rests like a finger in the elongated pouch of a glove. The shoes are low at the heels and are extremely comfortable The effect is rather startling at first, but Mrs Chanler argues that there is no reason why toes should not receive recognition from costumers as we'll si thumbs and fingers.

THE TARIFE IS 4 TAN.

Republican organs have begun already, now that the election is over and there is no further need for mendacity and mis- representation, to urge on their party the necessity of tariff revision. Their argu- ments are almost precisely in line with those advanced by the democratic press during the campaign, and one would think from reading them that the campaign of educs- tion has resulted in convincing them that the tariff is a tax. It is amusing to see them urging a revision of duties in order to lessen the cost of articles to the con- sumer, to increase the demand for labor and thereby augment the rates of wages, to enlarge the consumptive market and thereby "give enterprising Americans al opportunity to develop many new and i'm portant branches of industry" To do this an extra session of the Fifty first congress is urged.
 The impudence shown by these organs is simply sublime. When the parties were appealing to the sufrages of the people we were told by them that the tariff was not tax, that the cost of articles was not en- hancei one iota by the amount of duty

THE rulers of Germany, Austria and Italy have been lately so conspicuously en- gagged in reviewing and exhibiting to the world their respective naval forces that it is quite natural Russia should appear on the scene in the same role, and accord ingly we find the czar issuing a rescript expressing his qualification that his desire to have a fleet in the Black sea which will be able to protect Russian property and insure the development of Russian com merce is being fulfilled. He says it gives him great pleasure to know that men-of- war are ready to defend the rights of Russia everywhere, but particularly in that section of Europe. This 1escript is significant, for it is only few years ago since Russia, by the treaty of Paris, was limited to four national vessels in the Black Sea, of which only two were to be men-of-war, the others being merely revenue dispatch boats, Russia tore up that treaty that cost England so much blood and treasure while the tories were ill power under Dis raeli. She now serves notice on his sue cessor that she is ready for any further eventualities.

COWBOYS HAVE BETTER MANNERS

COWBOYS HAVE BETTER MANNERS.
 Americans are lively partisans and they are not very slow in giving way to their feelings in the excitement of political cam paigns. But their manners are of the draw ing room when compared to the kitchen habits of Englishmen under the stress of political excitement. A good sample of English political manners was given on MT G1adstone's recent journey from Birming- ham to London when he stopped at Wolverhampton and was favored with a number of addresses at a public meeting. In replying to these he was hissed and hooted so that he vas forced to stop speak ing. At other places along the route he was greeted with mingled shouts of approval and opp obrium. The alleged gentlemanly O1onians saluted him with groans, the conservatives being greatly in the majority among them. The barbarism of this con- duet was enhanced by the fact that Mrs Gladstone was constantly at her husband's side.
 A mass meeting of American cowboys would show more courtesy than these high 1y civilized Britishers

list Travel-GOssips Around
the Depots.

During the recent visit Of Messrs.
Huntington, Crocker and Towne to
Southern California, these gentlemen
inspected the Santa Ana Valley very
closely, driving in carriages along the
principal thoroughfares about Santa
Ana, Orange, Anaheim and Tustin.
AS an outcome of their investigations,
on Monday last, Chief Engineer
Hood, J. G. Strobridge, Chief on Con-
struction, Arthur Brown, Superin-
tendent of Bridges, and G. A. Stone,
visited the valley and went over all
the ground traversed by the magnates.
At the point between Orange and
Mcpherson, where the Santiago creek
crosses the main road, a special ex-
animation was made as regards the
necessity of bridge and trestle work,
and similar operations occurred at the
crossing Of the Santa Ana river. The
gentlemen announced themselves as
well satisfied with their investiga-
tions, and on receipt of their reports
at headquarters it is probable that a
force of graders will be put to work at
once on the proposed road. This line
will be remembered. it is the outcome
of the refusal of certain residents OF
Santa Ana to give the Southern Paci-
fic people privileges in extending Of
the road on through that town toward
San Juan Capistrano and San Diego.
The main line will now probably di-
vert from the Santa Ana branch at
Anaheim and passing through or near
that town head toward Orange, then
in direct line pass the town OF Nc
Pherson and at a point about one-quar-
ter of mile west Of Modena turn and
run to the south OF W G. Macpherson
and D. Hewes' foothill vineyards into
Tuston, and so on out to the San Joa-
quin.
