SENSIBLE nen of all parties and ofall sec
lions have become satisfied that the civil
service reform system, as conducted under
tho civil service law and rules, is not only q
deluson and snare, but corrupt, dis
graceful and transparent sham, that should
be abolished as soon as practicable. The
New Yoik Herald, in speaking of 1t. says:
CLEARLY the whole matter has become q
low comedy, but one of rather mourpful
kind. The hope was to get rid of tricky Of
hcebunters, the bloodsuckers of politics,
who run the machine and then demand pay
by an appointment. That hope curled ur
like burned leaf long ago. Crafty rogues
have broken through the law as easily as 8
locomotive would 50 through fish net.
Civil service honestly administered would
kill off q good many deals and bargains and
pulls and send an equal number of adven-
iurers to the rear But rotten civil service,
honeycombed with evasions-well, it is like
the egg in the restaurant which the waiter
said was "tolerably good, massa." Toer-
ably good EGGS are very bad eggs.

THE GEORGETOWN MILLs.-Neither the

nor the millers who are interested 10 the re-
pair and restoration of the water to the
Georgetown level took any steps towards
that end yesterday. The affairs of the com
papy are In such condition that it may be
some time before any attempt is made to
restore the wrecked property. In the mean
time the mills of Georgetown have stopped
running, and the owners are chafng under
tue necessity of this enforced idleness.
They are willing, they say to repair the level
themselves, provided the authority can be
given to them to do 80. but it seems diff
cult matter to obtain the necessary consent.
They also want guarantee that the money
they expepd for repairs will be placed to
their credit for water rents.

Destructive Fire.

SEATTLE, w. T., June The entire bus
mess portion of Seattle Is now nothing but
smoking ruins About 8 o'clock yesterday
afternoon some turpentine caught fire in the
basement of frame building on the south
west corner of Front and Madison streets,
and before 1t could be extinRuished nearly
thu entire city was destroyed. 1t Ia esti
mated that the total loss in buildings alone
is $40, 900 00O and all personal losses will
probably reach $40 900, 900. 1t ia thought
many persons must lave persisted in the
flames Giant powder was used to blow up
buildings in the hope of staying the progress
of the flames, but to no effect. 1t is report,
ed that two men have been lynched for
stealing. The latest estimates of the loss
are from SIS 600, 600 to $40 900. Seattle
is thriving city of Kings county, Washing.
ton Territory, at the mouth of the Duwam-
ish river. 1t is on the Columbia and Puget
railroad, and is also reached by steamer
from San Francisco.

There is but one bridge across the Cone

tant General Hastings or Scott will carry
one over it. At meeting of the central
relief committee yesterday afternoon Geuer-
al Hastings suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of
drawing Gordon around the few houses
that are not in ruins and applying the torch
to the remaining mass of waste. He said
that it would take 5000 men months to
thoroughly overhaul every portion of the
debris. OF the hundreds of bodies buried
beneath the rubbish, sand and stones, the
skeleton or putrid remains of many was all
that could be hoped to be recovered. Some
of the physicians have adopted cremation
as the cry and tonight the desolste valley
will probably be lit up with boDfres Of
wreckage, which will be the pyre of hun
drsds of dead bodies. Doctor Morrell, dep
uty chief of the State board Of health, said
yesterday The point has come when
sentiment should be laid aside. To endan
ger the lives Of the living that the dead may
&c identified is no longer justi6able. Be-
aides, the bodies are all past being embalm.
ed, and friends can scarcely recogniZs fea
lures any longer. Identification is posi-.
bic only by clothing or jewelry on the per
cons.
The large mass OF ruins in front of the
railroad bridge has been set on fire, but men
are searching the debris for bodies. There
will be 10 inqnest he'd on the bodies OF
those rescued. The law of Pennsy lvania
does not require it. and the responsibility
of the disaster vii never be determined,
unless the survivors take individual action
in the matter The stories printed 10 re-
gard to lyncbnss have no foundation in
TACT. Slyenlnew cases of diphiheria were re-
ported to day.

"Gen. John B Henderson, of Missouri, and
Col. H. c. Parsons, of Virginia, arrived in

Both are gentlemen well known in the
United States. They have come to London
by invitation of bankers here and in Am
sterdam to confer with them concerning the
bonds of the State of Virginia, the greater
portion of which are held by the bankers
alluded to. They expect to remain here for
several weeks and are stopping at the Vic

it was hoped or expected would be accom-
plished, both gentlemen said that they were
not prepared yet to talk upon the matter"

EVEN THE New York Tribune, which in
correctly attributes the immense iron bust
ness of this county to the high duty on iron,
though every we'll informed man knows
that that business is so large. In spite, rather
than as the effect. of the tariff, is forced to
cay
"Now that the country requires six and q
half million tons Of pig iron, and can pro-
iuce seveE and half million yearly, those
mines End furnaces which have the least ad
vantages are distanced by home conpeti
ton."
Yes, iron making in the North is doomed.
The South will hereafter be the home Of the
American iron maker. The northern man
now engaged in that business, and who in
tends to continue it, will have to move his
plant to the South; and were it not for the
tariff, instead of the product being one mil
lion of tons in excess of the demand of this
country, it would be one hundred million,
but every ton of it would find ready mar
ket abroad

so upon the ground that the men whose
qualifications for the chairs for which they
have been selected are acknowledged
throughout the civilized world, were raised
under monarchcal institutions and are well
grounded 10 the faith of the church to which
thew belong. Three or four of the greatest
scholars, and the most law abiding men In
tho world, whose work would not compete
with that OF any body else. because nobody
here is able to do it, are to be excluded
from the country because they were born
and raised under monarchical governments
and are sincere believers in the religious
faith they profess, while thousands OF igno'
rant and criminal rongbs, born under smi-
Ter governments, who have DO belief in
hereafter, and who resort to dynamite here,
are permitted to land every day, to compete
with American labor in an already over
stocked market. But this is only fail
sample of the way things are done IN this
progressive age of modern America. How
else would Europe ever been civilized and
christianized except by men of learning
from the East?

MR.. ROBERT P. PORTER, the ce:sus com
missioner, in reference to the British civil
service, afte. which the go called civil SER
vice reform of this country is patterned. is
on record as saying, before the humbug ie-
ferred to was adopted in this country
1.-The British civil service is to-day further
off being conducted on business principles
than that of the United States.
The system has created race of barDscIes
on the one hand, who are ebcrusted on the
body polite, aud on the other race OF
wretched drudges who DO the work. The
whole system ia fraud upon the people.
By demanding costly exam
jnation for clerks, the offices are reserved,
at good salaries, for the "sons of gentle
men, II Is literally impos-
sible to dislodge a lazy fellow or fool, and
only for the most outrageous misconduct
nan dismissal DO brought about. y
Bad as the American system is, it is far gu
perior TO the British from every point OF
view. To adopt such system would be a
death blow to the republic. 1t would
not only be un-American, but unendula o..
ble."
Mr.. Porter is about as wrong on the tariff
question as he Can we'll be, but that he was
right when he wrote the above goes without
saying.
