The men who abandoned the Republican
party in 1884 and continue to adhere to the
Democratic party have deserted not only
the cause of honest government, OF sound
finance, of freedom, of purity of the bal
lot, but especially have deserted the cause
Of reform in the Civil Service. We viii
not fail to keep our pledges because they
have broken theirs or because their can
djdate has broken his We therefore re-
peat our declaration Of 1884, to wit: The
reform of the Civil Service auspiciously
begun under the Republican Admnlstra-
ton should be completed by the further
extension of the reform system already es-
tablished by law to all the grades Of the
service to which it is applicable. The
spirit and purpose of the reform should De
observed in all Executive appointments,

The directors of the Pitman Grove Camp
Meeting Association have decided to give
a plot of ground for a Methodist Episcopal
church. The congregation, of which Rev.
j. X. Downer is the pastor, intend to put
up a building TO cost from $1,000 to $4,000.
A plot Of ground on one side of the grove
is to be laid out for a public cemetery.
Rev. K. NJ. Luther, a returned mission
airy, occupied the Baptist pulpit last Sab
bath. The reverend gentleman gave an inter
esting account of his experience and obser-
vations of the heathens in their native coun-
try. He was greatly surprised at their re-
markable intelligence and business abili-
ties, and their proneness to talk about the
great mystery Of sin. He thinks that many
u%nconverted people within the influences
of our church organizations will be more
likely to identify themselves with the chris
tian church if let alone than by being
individually ~importuned or talked to con-
corning salvation of their souls.
