1t seems to worry the politicians at
Washington because the most distin.
guished private citizen in the Republican
ranks. James &. Blaine, believes that no
one has u right to interfere with the

Some newspapers are talking about the fatal
ity that attends the business ventures OF the
Grant family. IL is all bosh. The business
ventures OF the Grant family have averaged ur
to the business ventures of the most of the FAM
lilies Of the Union. In cases where young men
are called upon to invest money that they have
not themselves earned, the chances are about
nine to one that when they are done they viii
have acquired valuable experience and that
others who had the experience earlier have &C.
quired the money. In this cay and age Of tbs

CIvIL-SERvICE REFORM LEAGUE.
George W. Curtis Again Chosen President
Substance Of the Resolutions Adopted.

New YORK, May 30.-At the annual meeting OF
the National Civil-service Reform League, to-day,
George William Curtis. who presided, was re-
elected president for the coming year. In Mr..
Curtis's speech Of acceptance he called attention
to the fact that on the night before he had
spoken against q second presidential term, yet
he now unfinchingly accepted that honor frcm
the league for the seventh time. His excuse
was that there was no patronage connected with
the Office.
In the course of the business meeting which
followed Mr.. Curtis's address, Hon. Sherman S
Rogers said there was q crying want of civil
service reform in Buffalo. The branch Of the
league in that place was working steadfastly.
Charles j. Bonaparte and John c. Rose spoke in
. similar vein of Baltimore. Stuart Wood de-
clared that the people of Philadelphia paid lib
orally for an irresponsible municipal govern
ment. VIM. d. Foulke spoke of Indiana.
The meeting passed resolutions to the effect
that the league congratulated the country on
the profound interest awakened in civil-service
reform. and announcement was felt for the prog
ress and prospects OF the cause. In many in
stances, however, It must be acknowledged that
the civil servicereform law had been abused by
the appointees Of the administration, who were
not In sympathy with 1t. The change In the IN
classified service. the resolutions continue, in
sS
its practically complete partisan reconstruction
by the close of the administration. 1t regarded
the fact as the loss Of . great opportunity by
the President aud q serious public misfortune.
Neither the welfare of the service nor any pub
lie advantage whatever had been shown to de-
mand 90 general a change. and it could be at
tributed to q partisan pressure for wholly parti-
san objects, which the President had. unfortu-
nately, not resisted. The disregard Of the notori-
Gus and fragrant defiance Of the executive
circular Of July IA. 1888. warning certain officers
Of the government against pernicious activity in
politics. and the Presidents letter Of Nov. 2.
1887, advocating the choice Of . particular can
didate in q municipal election. seriously dis
credited the cause Of reform and meritsd the
public condemnation which they had received.
The severe Judgment OF the public in these mat
tiers was a hopeful sign of reform. The enlist
ment of ofice-holders for the benefit OF . faction
was q perversion Of the purposes OF parties,
and pernicious. The presidential term of four
years was prolific of intrigue. The resolutions
close with the recommendation of the adoption
of the merit system of appointment to Office in
the penal, reformstory and educational institu-
tions of the principal cities. and that the league
extend its work Of inquiry into the principles Of
candidates for Office.

A prominent delegate who came 20 the con-
~vention in favor Of woman's suffrage SAYS that
his experience so far while here has changed his
mind on that point. When he saw one Of his
fellow-delegates "a married MANI miss his dinner
while he talked with a pretty young lady and .
vivacious widow from a peighboring State, he
lost faith altogether in the movement to have
the women take part in political conventions.
He is convinced, so he says, that when such .
time comes political assemblies will Only be
great matchmaking gatherings. and it will be
necessary for wives to accompany husbands and
husbands wives, in order to keep things straight.
He believes that with women in q convention it
would take o whole week to run tho most
ordinary one. and from this time on he 10, as the
Irishman said, 'agin' the movement.

An Unsatssfactory Contest.

The decision of the oratorical contest does not
seem TO have given as general satisfaction as
at first was supposed. The general conviction
