When the administration began to remove
third class postmasters and ii their places
with Democrats it was professed, precisely as
IL now is In the case of the employees of the
arsenals, that the intention was to divide the
offices equally between the two parties.
The word "departisanize'' was coined nv
administration organs to express this alleged
purpose. 1t is matter Of history to -day how
the professed intention was carried out. The
"departisanizing" of the public service pro-
crossed until it became a clean sweep of all
the Republicans in Office and the substitution
in their places of Democratic workers. To-
day 1t is doubtful IL half dozen postoffices
can be found in Maine which are not filled hv
Democrats. And the few Republicans who
remain do so simply because no Democrats
can be found willing to take their places for
the compensation allowed by the government
The latest attempt at 'departisanizinp" nm
der the direction Of the Secretary of War
may be expected to yield the same results.
unless 1t is arrested by the overthrow OF
Grover Cleveland and his party in the COM
ing election. When the places in the ARISEN.
ais are equally divided between Republicans
and Democrats, and there are as many wom
en- and boys In them whose Recommended
tions are signed by Democrats as by Republi-
cans, the Secretary of War will forget to in
struct the chief Of ordnance that the work of
"departisanizing" is completed and that
thereafter politics are not to count, or that
Republican politics are to count as
much as Democratic, the idea, which will
by that time have taken full possession of the
appointing power, that Democrats are to
nave the preference will be allowed TO remain
undisturped' and the work of "departisaniz-
ing"will go on until all the emploves arc non,
ocrats or recommended by Democrats. But
aside from the ultimate purpose of this order
1t is, even on the assumption that IL Is 70 ha
withdrawn after the offices have been eopol,,,
divided between the two parties, entirely ~
variance with the doctrine of civil service
reform. The chief purpose of that reform is
to take such of the offices as are purely
executive out of politics. But this order
of the Secretary of War amounts to decla-
ration that the Offices belong to the parties
and are to be parcelled out between them.
1t says practically that every applicant for
position under the government in the de-
partments specified shall be examined as to
his politics, and his appointment or reiec-
ton shall depend to some extent upon the
result of that examination. That this is
entirely contrary to the spirit of civil Ser
vice reform is conclusigely shown by the
Eighth Rule of the civil service commission
appointed under the Pendleton act This

The candidacy of Gov. Hill of New York
is avowedly in the interest of the saloon
men. The rumsellers clearly recognize this
and are straining every nerve to elect him
governor. They have raised large cam
paign fund in his behalf and are working
like beavers to keep him in the governors
chair. The candidacy of Warner Miller on
the other hand is inimical to the SELDOM in
terest. The platform on which he stands
declares distinctly in favor of the restriction
OF rumselling and he has given his own per-
sonal pledge that If measure of restriction
Is passed by the next legislature it will
promptly receive his signature. The choice
before the people of New York is therefore
between free rum and plenty of it and prac-
tical measure for the restriction and regula-
ton OF the traffic. How will the Prohibi-
tonists vote is question now frequently
asked9 Win they by voting for third
candidate do nothing to defeat the saloon in
terest or will they by supporting Miller
contribute something to its overthrow
To quote the language Of President Cleye-
land, not applicable where he applied it

condition, not theory that confronts
themY certain amount of suppress
sion OF the liquor traffic, certain
amount of diminution of its evils can be
accomplished by the election of Warner Mil
Ter and Republican Legislature The al
Tentative, and the only alternative. is the
election of Hill and free rum. The saloon
men have defantly challenged the reputable
part Of. the community to the contest. Win
the Prohibitiontsts be found on the side of
the reputable element or will they be found
indirectly contributing to the success of the
saloons by voting for third candidates
Inc answer to the question will have very
decided bearing upon their real purpose
whether it be, as they declare, to suppress
the liquor traffic or, as many suspect, simply
to build up political party?

and afterwards by President Cleveland, ana
is in force to-day. Its text is as follows:
No question in any examination or proceeding
by or under the commission or examiners shall call
for the expression or disclosure of any political
religious opinion or afhation, nor shall any dis
elimination be made by reason thereof If known,
and the commission and its examiners shall dis
countenance all disclosure, before either Of

cant lor examination, or by OF concerning any one
whose name is on the register awaiting appoint
ment.
There Is an air Of fairness, to be sure, in the
Secretary of Wars statement that the purpose
Is to divide the offices equally between the two
parties, but such programme even if the
intention were to carry it out in good faith
would be destructive to the idea of civil SER
vice reform. That reform seeks to make
fitness the only test for appointment to office.
Now as long as the political opinions of the
applicant have any weight in determining
his fate fitness can never be counted the sole
test, and experience has shown that it can
never become even the chief test. But
such programme as the Secretary of War
proposes could never be continued for
any length OF time. The yictors in every cleo
ton would claim, and with good reason, that
as they had carried the country more of the
offices belonged to them than to their de-
feated opponents and there would be souab-
bic over the proportion each should have
ana eventually we should drift back to the
old spoils system in which the yictors took
the whole. Indeed we are inclined to think
that the seizure of all the offices by the vic
torious party would be less demoralizIng to
the public service than would an attempt to
parcel them out between the two parties in
proportion to the votes they threw which
would be the only equitable basis of disission sion.
There is no middle coa a::1se about this thing.
If political considerations are permitted to
welgn a little they will eventually bear
down all other considerations.

Gen. Daniel Lamont. the Presidents fac

on recent visit to New York that the Presi-

be counted on for any reasonable assistance.
The assurance seems not to have satisfied
Hills friends, however, for they are still
calling loudly for an endorsement of the
rumsellers' friend signed with the Presi-

which so many seem now to be afflicted?
If you will remember few years ago
the word Malaria was comparatively
automatically it is as common as
any word in the English language,
vet this word covers only the mean
ing of another word used by our fore
fathers in times past. So it is with
nervous diseases, as they and Malaria
are intended to cover what our grand
fathers called BiliOusness, and all are
caused by troubles that arise from a
diseased condition of the Liver, which
in performing its functions, finding it
cannot dispose of the bile through the
ordinary channel is not compelled to
pass it off through the system, caus-
ing nervous troubles, Malaria, Bilious
Fever, etc. You who are suffering
