Representative Walker efthe Worcester,
Massachusetts,, District. i Augwump 10
1884, has been taught wiedpm byexperi-
ence. In answer to requsst for his opin-
ion on civil service refoD under the new
Administration he makes the following
sensible and timely statement: ''The viola
ton Of the whole spirit Of the civil service
rules by the present Administration will
make the restoration Of the service to Or
binary business efficiency seem like par
tiaI return to the spoils system" The
force Of this observation IL evident. The
public service has been 80 filled up with
Incompetent Democrats, appointed on
purely partisan grounds, that their removal
will be regarded by less intelligent reform
ers than Mr.. Walker as a step backwar
towards the system Of distributing public
Offices solely "a rewards for party service.
Az q matter Of fact, however, this course
would De preparing the ground for genuine
reform and restoring the public service to
the plane Of efficiency and excellent pub
lie repute where it wa. left by the Repub-
icans four years since. The holders of
places Of trust and responsibility must be
persons Of character and integrity, and
true reform will be faithfully sought by
those who are soon to take the place Of
Cleveland and his associates.

DIR. Dollinger of Munich, who is a year
older than the century, has been dis.
coursing on American Literature to the
Munich Academy of Science. He thinks
the main hindrances to literary and scien-
tific progress in the United States are t.
be found in the want of great central
university and in the slip>hod character
OF the American newspaper press. Thi-
raises the question, which American papers

The negro and immigration questions also
cause the excellent Doctor anxiety.
Nevertheless, he holds that the intellectual
primacy of the world is certain one day to
the anglo-Saxon race, as to the Greeks
aud Romans in ancient days.

Those Who apprehenaed that Mr.. Cleve-
land would recede from the position which
be has taken, because OF the result of the
election, do not know the man. His view of
his propositions is not affected by the vie~
taken of them BY others, many or few. His
convictions on tariff matters, Il oGgh of late
growth, are firmly rooted. In iss3 he re
fused to write letter to Congressman Dor
he mer favoring the Morrison bill, and Mr..
Daniel Manning caused congressman Van
aisryne of Albany to be written TO to vote
it'll Mr.. Randall against the bill He did
80. The vote was accepted As Mr.. Man
nil g's and Governor Clev lands condemna
ton of the measure, and Governor Cleveland
vas then the predetermined nominee fer
President.
In 1884 Mr.. Manning, as his representa-
tive, caused all the platform to be conserve
tive, and did all he could to put Mr.. Randall
TO the front in the decisive States and 10
keep Watterson, Carlisle, the BIeckinridges,
Morrison and the wonderful Mr.. Mills out
Of them. The few stump speeches Mr..
Cleveland made on the question had the as
tute quality of restraint from any radical
of the President were of the same character.
. although the reports of the Secretary of the
Treasury signed by Mr.. Manning. became
notably more aggressive. Last year the
President struck gu: boldly, as will be re-
called; the Mills bill passed the House; the
st. Louis platform was radical, and Gov
error Hill was the only party orator who in
sisted that it did not mean so much as it
seemed to signify.
Several things have happened since then.
| The question recurs of what attitude the
national Democracy will take on the matter
which Mr.. Cleveland outlines. Ii may be in
part affected by what the Repubh ans do
with the power with which they have been
iutrusted. Should they reduce the surplus
by protective policy, and neither overglu'
the home market nor seal up foreign market.

sentimental assault on their course would be
magnificent, but not politics on the part OF
the Democracy.
| A consequence of such a course would be
the quckening Of the very strong movement.

Georgia and Tennessee toward protection
with a tendency toward the Republicaniza
ton of those States, if the feared results o.
negro domination could be averted. In sucl
a case the Democracy in 1892 would be
likely to do as they did when they won il
1876 and in 1884, hedge on the tariff or do
as they did in 1880 and 1888 boldly affirm
and lose the election. Tie desire in party
for success is stronger than any other.

The modes of deaths approach are various,
and statistics show conclusively that more
persons die from diseases of the Throat and
Lungs than any other. 1t is probable tina,
everyone, without exception, receives vast
numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system
and where these germs fall upon suitable soil
they start into life and develop, at first slowly
and are shown by slight tickling sensation in
the throat and if allowed to continue their
ravages they extend to the lungs producing
Consumption and to the head, causing Ca
tarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if al
lowed to proceed will in time cause death.
At the onset you must act with promptness
allowing a cold to go without attention lie
dangerous and may lose you your life. As
soon as you feel that something is wrong with
your Throat, Lungs or Nostrils, obtain a
bottle of Boschees German Syrnp. 1t will
give you immediate relief.

NRACIE DREAM.
ut was a long sultry day in June.
Oracle c)mplained of the heat and said it
made her tired. But | am Inclined to
think that the long History lesson, pre-
viously given out by her teacher, was
what made her yawn SO sleepily as she lay
in the hammock which swung between
two large willows. She had Just finished
the lesson which told about Columbus
great discovery in 1892 and how the con-
inent was named for Americas Vesputius.
instead of Columbus She closed her book
and watched the robins building a nest
above her head She was thinking, the
while, how Americas Vesputius would
look-when she fell asleep. She dreamed
that she was running along a country road,
shaded by large oak trees when she saw
some one coming toward her. At first she
thought it was her uncle but rs he came
nearer she saw it was a stranger. At this
moment fairy appeared and waving her
wand in the direction of the stranger gave
Grace to understand that he was the very
Americus Nesputius of whom she had been
thinking. He was tall stout man with
black beard ami long black hair which was
tied with black ribbon. His suit was of
the same dark hue with trimmings of gold
i'NN hh"e SnsttuCA III tuC sui. lAC
large kind looking brown eyes, and when
he poke she was not afraid He said, $50
little girl you wish to see me, do you.
Well, here am, what do you think OF
me. my dear?" Oracle expressed her de-
light at seeing him in as few words as
possible. She was charmed with his dig
nitied manner and kindness of speech.
He turned and they walked together
toward city which the stranger told her
was Genoa, the birthplace of Columbus
After visiting several places of interest
Americas asked her to visit the tomb of
Columbus. Whv that is in Havana and
Havana il in Cuba and Cuba is long way
off, is it not?' mo, it i, not very far said
he, when YOU go with my pretty ponies
or it does not seem to be every far" la
moment Oracle was going over the
country at rate that surprised even
Americas. They had just alighted and
she had got just one glance at the tomb
of Columbus when the dinner bell rang and
spoiled her delightful dream. As she
went into the house her mamma asked,
Where have you been, my dear?" Watch
ing the robins build their nest mamma,' -
she replied, and that was all her mother
ever knew about her delightful ride with
Americas and his ponies.
