Slips of tho Tongue.

A friend of mine was attending services at certain Baptist church in Washington, says letter in the Salem Gazette. The minister was very deliberate speaker, with broad mouth. The sermon was about the death of Moses. In the course of 1t the preacher began sentence "Biddy diddy" and again halted. What could it bel He made a second attempt-'diddy biddy'- and again halted. Strange. Lubricating his lips he made a third attempt and suc- ceedei-''Did he bid adieu," etc. A clergy man in Ohio said: ''For now we see through dark glassy," and the same man spoke of some one going "headlessly" to destruc- tion.

CIVIL SERVICE CANT.

Since the passage of the Pendleton civil service act there has been an amount of cant unloaded upon the country that would discourage any but a statesman who is himself an adept in the acts of hypocrisy. It would have been better, in view of his ensuing acts, if President Harrison had said nothing in regard to the observance or extension of civil service reform, either in his letter of acceptance or his inaugural ad- dress. The country would have had larger faith in him had he kept quiet.
 There is a civil service commission, in Messrs Roosevelt, Thompson and Lyman, who could be considered, theoretically at least, as favorable to the Chinese theory. But what can these men do, while the president and his cabinet con- tinue to grind away at the political axe in their removals and appointments: A few facts recently collected-and these are but samples of many others-will serve to show how little they care for the reform, or how little they are dis posed to help it along toward full and complete establishment. The Indian apolis postmaster, who openly expressed his contempt for the civil service act, restored to positions under him men who had been dismissed for bad char acter, one of them for keeping gam bling house. The civil service commis- sion compelled their dismissal, but nobody interfered with the postmaster. Paul Vandervoort, who had been re- moved from the service by Postmaster General Gresham for shameless neglect of duty and for bad character and noto- rious unfitness, was made superintendent of mails at Omaha by MT Wanamaker, and although republican newspaper in Omaha denounced the appointment and told the whole story months ago, neither MT Harrison nor Mir Wanamaker have felt moved to "turn the rascal out" A man who was once arrested for break ing into a house to commit an assault upon woman, and who confessed his guilt, was made postmaster at Shushan. N. Y., and still holds his place, though the attention of the administration has been several times called to the facts in the case. A wife beater holds a com mission from Harrison as superintend- ent of immigrants at Boston, and an- other is postmaster at Lead Hill Ark. So, too, in the matter of removals, we have seen official heads chopped off simply and solely because of politics, and every day the same comedy is carried on be- fore our eyes. And this, too, under a president who publicly proclaimed that "only the interests of the public service ahould suggest removals from otfice."
 What do republicans think of such
 Vpocrisy2 What do the mugwumps think of such cant? Can they see any thing hopeful or promising in the out

ance and dissatisfaction. It is expected, and there is every reason to believe, that, owing to these facts, there will be de- mand, after the first election in which the new secret ballot is used, for the re- peal of the law. Many of the voters will naturally be unable to stifie their disgust with the difficulties of master ing the system, and the fact that many of them will be almost certain to lose their votes owing to irregularities in voting will intensity this disgust even among those who are partial, theoret- ically speaking, to a secret ballot. Then, too, the defeated candidates are likely, in many instances, to lay their defeat to the .imperfections and incongruities of the new-fangled system, which at best is complex and confusing method.
 Hence it is that the Ballot Act league is taking time by the forelock in the sndeavor to famili- arize the electors, as far as possible, with
 the provisions and the application of the law, and that the independent press of the state is urging upon all men, inde- pendent of party affiliations, the advisa- bility of cooperating with the work. Notice is taken of the necessity of stand ! ing prepared to resist what is regarded 1 as certain but unwise demand for the laws repeal after the election in Novem 1 Der, and the league is urged to be stead ! fast in it's work of education and propa gandism. We believe the league ought to be encouraged in its purpose, for | whatever may be our view of the practi cability or desirability of the Australian system of voting as drafted into the l electional system of an American state we believe the law as it is on the statute
 books ought to be given fair ant
 honest trial. Connecticut, with it simpler secret ballot law, will need les
 work by league like that formed il Massachusetts, though it will probabl.
 require closer watching against tn
 frauds contemplated as possible unde
 it's operations by Lynde Harrison an'
 his fellow conspirators who conceive' ! and framed the law.
 And the more of such watching ther is, evon in our October town and cit. elections. the better for the further sue cess of a secret ballot in Connecticut.

Monumental Inscriptions Which Have Sur

 Mir. Thomas Kerr sends to the Rockford Ull.) Gazette this. inscription, which he copied with some difficulty from time worn monument in the churchyard of Grey friars, in Edinburg:
 Halt passenger, take heed what you do see; This tomb doth show for what some men did
 die.
 Here lies inferred the dust of those who stood Gainst perjury, resisting unto blood. Adhering to the covenants and law Establishing the same; which was the cause Their lives were sacrificed unto the lust Of prelates perjured Though their dust Lies nSixt with murderers, and other crew Whom justice justly did to death pursue; But as for them, no cause was to be found, Constant, and steadfast, jealous, witnessing To the supremacy of Christ their King; Which truths were sealed by famous Guthrie's head, And all along to MT. Renwick's blood. Then follows these words:
 From May 2, 1861, that the most noble Mar quis of Argyle was beheaded, to the 17th Feb. ruary, 16ss, that MT. James Renwck suffered. were one way or other murdered and destroyed for the same cause about Is 900, of whom were executed at Edinburg about 100 of noblemen, gentlemen, ministers, and others, noble mar tyrs for Jesus Christ. The most of them lie here.

THE BALLOT ACT LEAGUE,

The league formed for the purpose of carrying into effect the provisions of the new ballot act in Massachusetts is mak- ing considerable progress in rendering easy the practical execution of the new method of voting, by anticipating and solving in advance large number of the doubts and perplexities that are cer- tain to be encountered in a practical application of the new system. The officers of the league have conferred on several occasions with the state authori- ties who have the administrative con- trol of the voting system, and have en- deavored at these conferences to have it made clear what decisions would be given in expectations cases based upon experiences that are almost sure to occur. Not only this, but the league has prepared plans for polling places containing designs showing how rooms may be fitted up for balloting in accord ance with the new system at the least manner.
 As is learned from our Massachusetts exchanges, the league is made up re- gardless of party lines, being an associa- tion of some hundreds of men promi- nently connected with both the great political parties who are strongly desi- rous that the new system of election ahall prove itself on trial to be adapted to the wishes and needs of the voters. The members of the league are aware that the new method is decided inno- vation on all past customs in use in this country, and that the complete change to it by hundreds of thousands of voters who have only superficial notion of this form of balloting must of necessity be attended with a great deal of annoy
