Harrison and the Civil Service.

Those who are expecting q sudden
sweep Of Federal officials by the new
President to crafty the greed Of the
spoilsinen, would do well to temp r
their anticipations until they hear from
Benjamin Harrison. He comes to the
Presidential Office with a proud lineage.
and he not only voted for the present
civil service law when Republican
Senator, but be boldly defended the
policy of civil service reform.
The only Indication of the views and
purposes of President Harrison on the
civil service question that has been
given since the election, comes i'm a
leading editorial in the Indianapolis
Journal, of which the following is the
important part:
The tenure of office law and the civil serv-
ice law must be observed in spirit as we'll as
in letter. Officials commissioned for four
years from the date of their appointment,
who are competent and efficient, and who
| have given no cause for their removal, will
probably be permitted to serve out their
terms, many of which will not expire till a
year or two after the new administration
goes in. The new President cannot be ex-
pected to make sweeping removals in such
cases. At all events, those who do expect it
will likely be disappointed.
1t must aforementioned that the fore
going extract appears in the home Or
gan of the President-elect, and none
who know either the general partisan
tone of the organ Or the views of its
controlling editor, will for moment
suspect that it is an attempt to lead
Harrison into the path of civil service
reform. On the contrary, such a lead
| ing editorial could have appeared in
the Indianapolis Journal only in obed-
fence to the command of the new Pres
ident; AMI il is reasonably safe, there
| fore, to assume that the article point
edly defines the civil policy of the COM
ing administration.
President Harrison will practically
decide whether the earnest battle that
has been made for civil service reform,
and that has certainly controlled one

ened or weakened to the very verge of
destruction under his rule. If he shall
have the courage to temper partisan
rewards with strong flavor of civil
service reform, as Cleveland has done,
he will COMPEL the obedience of his
party and make fair standard of civil
service reform the fixed policy of the
government. That he means to do so,
seems reasonably sure from the posit-
i've declarations of his home organ and
if be shall prove equal to the task his
organ forshadows, be will do much to
weaken Democracy in the chief ele-
Phitidela3hia Times.

CharIey's Status.

Charley Stokes is left again. Failing to
get anything from the Cleveland Administra-
ton he Joined the Wheelers just as that or.
ganization was clicking the bucket. Now
the Republicans are soon to take charge OF
Uncle Sans farm and brother Stokes will
again be left IN the woods.-Cape Democrat
We don't see why Charley should not hope
fer som ethIng under Republican admlnistra-
fion. He is publishing the State Wheel organ
and we don't know OF anything that did
more to down Democracy and uphold Re-
publicanism than the Agricultural Wheel of
Missouri.-Scott County NeUsb0y.
True enough! The Wheel, the
Brewers, the Dives, the Union Labor
ties, under the lead of the Republicans,
all pulled together in one strong but
vain effort to defeat the Democracy OF
Missouri. A general reward without
regard to previous political affiliations,
ought to make glad the hearts of all
the malecontents, boodlers aud dam
phools.

For years we have been contendiDg
that saloons la st. Louis were entitled
fin justice to no privileges refused those
i'm smaller towns. During those years
thousands of indictments have been
found against saloon men IN the coun-
try for selling Oh Sunday, and they
have been compelled to atone to the
offended law. Yet in st. Louis the
Sunday dramshop has been the rule,
and until within the past two years,
they have not been prosecuted.
They ought to be prosecuted, punished,
and made to close up, rear and front,
on Sunday. Every law-abiding citi-
zen admits this; yet, for merely en-
forcing righteous law, Mayor Fran
els and the Democratic party were
s'knifed" by nearly every brewer and
distiller, whiskey and beer-seller, in
st. Louis. They poured out their
money like water to compass our de-
feat, and seemed to enjoy it. Very
well; they may be given all the polti-
cal enjoyment they can hold ere the
matter is finally concluded. We, for
one, do not feel inclined to say them
nay. It is for the people to say
whether high-license is the antidote to
the political dive.

With the Republicans i'm full control of
congress the Blair educational bill will go
through with rush. We heartily endorse
this measure as we are in favor of educating
the people; if the states cannot or will not do
it then let the nation do so. Education is
what we want, north, south, east and west,
and it is far better to spend the money in
this way than in useless coast defenses and
other jobs.-Enterprise- Messenger.
Do you, then, say that the States are
not educating the people, and have not
the means for doing so? Will you tell
US wherein the Federal Government
has any more right to sustain the
schools of state than its eleemosynary
institutions and its penitentiaries? Do
you want y strong centralized govern
ment with its powers as far from the
direct control of the people as they can
be taken? What warrant is there in
the Federal Constitution for the ex-
penditure of money under such an en-
actment as the Blair bill? Your plea
that this bill would be right because
the national government wastes money
on useless coast defenses and other
iobs' is pueriie. Was ever one wrong
or fraud made right by adding other
wrongs to il? The passage and enforce
ment of the Blair Bill would be long
ste d in the direction of the abolition of
States lines and toward the destruction
Of the rights of aselfgoverping people.
