My friends, you will never have any
genuine reform in civil service until Won
adopt the one-term principle in reference to
the Presidency. So long as the incumbent
can hope for second term he will use the
immense patronage of the Government to
procure bis denomination and secure his
re-election.-Fronl speech by the Hon. A.
len g. Thurman; Columbus, Ohio, 1872.
We believe there can be no more serious
setback given to the cause of reform in the
civil service than to re-elect Mr.. Cleveland.
Not only because he will use his Office
more pronouncedly TO help his party, but
because 1t will give, very generally, the i'm
preston taat after all civil service reform
was only party war-cly, and that, having
served its end, ii Is 10 De dropped Boston

The speeches which General Harrison
daily called upon 10 make to the thousands
of admirers who visit him in clubs and Or
CARNATIONS of various kinds. are charac-
teristic of the man. They are gems for
their simplicity, for their keen discern
ment of events, for their utterances of a
pure and honest heart, and for their states
manlike ability. General Harrison is no
demagogue, and he could not make the
speech of demagogue were he to try.-

The worst blow struck at the Prohibition
party in many years is found in the letter
that the Rev DIR. Fellows, President of the
Iowa State Temperance Alliance, has Just
written to the ProhibitioDists of Iowa. DR..
Fellows has been one of the most pro-
nounced friends OF temperance in the
United States. He has been brought to
see that the purpose of the third party TO
secure control by smashing the other par
ties will never be accomplished if its pres
enI policy is continued. He says this pol
icy IS driving away and alternating the
friends of temperance in both the great
parties instead of uniting them against the
common foe. This is common-sense view
of the situation, and we are glad to learn
that many of the friends of prohibition in
this State are accepting it as their own this
tall.--Albang ". ~ Journal.
