In speech in 1872 Uncle Bandanna Thur
man declared: my friends. you will never
have any genuine reform in the civil service
until you adopt the one-term principle in re-
ference to TIE presidency AS long az the
incumbent can hope for second term he
will use the immense patronage of the gov
eminent to procure his denomination and
secure his reelection" No longer ago than
1884 Grover Cleveland portrayed in striking
language the demoraliziug effects upon the
public service Of the unhallowed ambition
for second terms. Thurman is getting old
and it is not to wondered at that his men,
DRY is failing him. And Cleveland has found
the Presidency land of the lotos-eaters.
where taste Of the delicious fruit called
patronage has effaced all memories of past
professions so thoroughly that even the
shrill Mugwump protestations fail to recall
them. But old age and recklessness are not
the best excuses for glaring inconsistencies

The Republican Convention.

The Republican National convention or
gained yesterday and completed part of
the preliminary work. OF course yester-
days proceedings threw no light upon the
all-absorbing question of the candidate, nor
is there much satisfaction to be got on this
point from conversations with the represen-
tatives of the various "booms." Each boom
er is apparently loyal to his boom, and put
ting in his biggest ticks in its behalf 1t can
not be said that any candidate has made any
considerable gain since the delegates assem-
bled. The strength of each Gibbs and flows
somewhat, but the average is about the same,
and will continue to be until after one ballot
at least. Sherman still leads in the number
OF delegates pledged to him, but it is not to
De inferred that on that account his chances
Tor securing the nomination are better than
the chances Of the other candidates. Ores
hams strength appears to have declined
somewhat, though it may be but temporari-
ly. Depew seems to be assured of the vote
of New York on the first ballot. but the
Northwest still continues TO oppose him. and
there is feeling that his support from the
Empire State is not altogether sincere. The
most curious candidacy is that of Mayor

We may well believe that Gladstone's
touching words on the death of the German
Emperor and his expressions of sympathy
for the widowed Empress came from the
heart. OF all the members of the English
royal family, the wife Of Frederick is said to
be the only one who has sympathizcd with
Mr.. Gladstone's liberal views; and she is
credited not only with being in sympathy
with them but impressing them upon the
mind of the late Emperor 1t is certain, too
that Frederick was man of liberal views I;
and, all questions of regard for the Empress
aside, his untimely death would of itself
make profound impression on character
like that of Gladstone.

THE NORTH STAR STATE AND THE TARIFF.
[St. Louis Globe-Democratl
Knute Nelson will not be returned To
Congress from the Fifth district of Mime
sofa. The Republicans have nominated an
other man in his place for the Fifty-tirst Con-
gress.. The North Star State doesn't want
the sort OF tariff reform asked for by the
Democratic party.
THE All NEEDFUL.
New York Tribune.l
The man who gets the nomination at Chi
ccago Will probably need All votes. The Ma
tional committee has decided to treat Dakota
and Washington as if their claims to State

stead OF two delegates each they will have
ten and SIX respectively, making in ali $50

THE PARTY FULLY AWAKE.
lOxford Democrat
As Ex-Gov. Robe well says, it is much
better to have such convention as Tues
days than tame one. No one who attended
that convention can doubt that the Republi-
can party in Maine is fully awake. Of
course, after such warm contest as that be-
tween the candidates for nomination, it is
natural that some should be disappointed,
but the contest was not carried on, as some
OF our Democratic friends profess to believe,
with that bitterness of feeling which causes
bolt. The Republican candidate is one
whom we may be proud to follow. He will
receive the united support of the Republicans
of Maine, and will be elected by handsome
majority in September.

There appears to be reasonable. grounds
for hope that Gen. Sheridan will recover.
Manifestly he is good deal better than he
was week ago. His pulse, respiration, APP
petite and general condition have all i'm
proved. The attacks of heart failure, which
several times so nearly ended his life, have
ceased. He is irritable and exacting and
this the physicians consider good sign. Of
course he is not out of danger-of very great
danger but the progress at the present is in
the right direction.

The State Board of Health of Pennsylva-
MIA have, in series of resolutions, paid es-
pecial attention to leprosy, scarlet fever and
diphtheria, the three contagious diseases
which they consider the most dangerous to
the public. They notice the escape of the
leper from the asylum at Tracodie, NIB,
intothe United States, and call attention to
the spread of the disease and the necessity
for dealing with it summarily. 1t is un-
doubleday matter of considerable public
concern that this calamity bearing wretch is
abroad. The authorities of New Brunswick
seem quite certain that he came into the
United States, in which case it is not i'm
probable that he came within the borders of
the State of Maine. If so. where did he 90
