THE LAP OF EARTH
Now Holds the Remains Of the Hon.
Edmund Rice.
OBSEQUIES SAD AND SIMPLE,
The City Quietly Mourns the Loss Of
Her Lamented and Distinguished
Son.

st. Paul presented the appearance
yesterday of great city in mourning.
Out of respect for the memory of the
late Hon. Edmund Rice all municipal
and county Offices closed during the
afternoon. State house and govern
ment building flags hung at half-mest,
and on every hand words of regret and
kindly remembrance were heard. His
death is mourned as personal loss by
thousands OF people throughout the
city, in high station and lowly, whose
expressions of sorrow were everyWh ere
seen and heard. Three O'Clock was the
appointed hour of the services from st.
PauPs church. 1t was some time be-
fore, however, that carriages began
gathering in the vicinity of the late res
fdence of the deceased, at 1877 East
Ninth street, where the body reposed in
a beautiful caSket, and was viewed by
many of his lifelong friends. Shortly
before o'clock the caSket was borne
from the house to the waiting hearse by
K. B. Galusha, William Crooks, David
Day, William Dawson. Wescott Wilkin,
William Pitt Murray, Alexander Ram
sey and Eugene Wilson, whereupon the
cOrtege in waiting moved slowly down
Ninth street to st. Paul's. The church
was filled to its utmost capacity, and
many, who could not gain an
entrance, fingered about Oh the
outside. The remains were met
and Bishop Gilbert, who assisted in
conducting the services. In compli-
ance with the well-known wishes of
the deceased. the obseQuies were of the
simplest and most unpretentiOus order,
ana there was an absence of any
Wreaths or other floral tributes, due to
express requests of the bereaved family.
The services were in accordance with
the simple rites of the Episcopal
church, and were in perfect keeping
with the quiet, transformations ways of
the lamented deceased. After a scrip
ture lesson and prayers male choir of
six voices sang
Father, What Fer of Earthly Bliss.
Thy Sovereign Will Denies,
and the rector read the simple service.
AS the casket was borne from the
church the choir again sang: Jesus
My Savior, Look On me-" The process
sion, as it moved from ST. Paul's
church towards Oakland cemetery, eX-
tended along several blocks and in
Guided many people noted in the states
and nations history. The mayor and
common council attended in body, and
city officials and employees of the differ
ent departments were present III large
numbers, but went in their private
capacity, out of respect to the family's
wishes. AS the cortege turned up Jack
son street the great court house and city
hall bells began tolling the funeral
knell-a blow for each of the seventy
one eventful years of the life of the
city's ex-chief magistrate and the states
eX-repreSentatiue in national halls. The
interment at Oakland was also con-
Quoted with simple ceremony. Then
the beloved remains of the city's illus
trious ded were laid at rest, prayer was
offered. and the large cOncourse OF dear
friends turned from the scene of the last
sad rites with the profoundest sorrow.

Our Elections.

II all our election campaigns were as
quiet IA this one has been there would be
no harm In their annual recurrence.
The country could not stand prcsi-
DENTAL campaign every year, and it does
II no good to have the experience every
four years. The presidential canvass is
anuisance, only profitable to politicians,
newspapers and stump orators +; exceed
ingly damaging 10 business and disgust
ing to peaceable inhabitants. Now,
since success has become matter Of the
biggest bag, the presidential contest Is
less than ever national blessing. When
such scum as Quay and Wsnamakcr are
cast up into the chief places by their
success In gathering and applying money
In presidential elections, II is time to
think that there is urgent need that
something should be extinguished--.the
vl1ctions or these fellows.
This year we have had a very respect
able election. No one seems to have
gathered great sums Of money to affect
II, and every voter has been left appar-
emily to vote ns he pleases, or not to vote
ut all. And many of them will not
vote. There is always large class that
vote only In times of excitement and
when they are kicked out TO the polls by
the stalwart workers. These people
stay mt home in the quiet elections of of
years, and 1t is no loss to the country
that they do SO. They amount to moth
ing a. citizens. They have poor
conception, II any at all, of their
duty a. holders Of the suffrage.
They usually vote as they are told or as
their party calls, without understanding
the issues or weighing the candidates.
The good citizen votes ut all elections
without urging and with a proper ap.
probation Of his privilege and he tries
to vote, ,understandingly, for good princi-
pies and good men. He votes perhaps
under the impulse of party prejudice,
but he conscientiously thinks that his
party is right and that its candidates are
the best. Men are not required to be al
ways wise in their votes. If they vote
conscientiously and according TO their
best Judgment they do all that can bc
asked from them. Perfect wisdom
is given to none and the major
ity, perhaps, have very imper-
feet allotment of it; but In the
long run the right generally manages
to prevail and confidence in democracy
TO he justified. The errors on each side
seem to pretty well correct each other
and we eventually get the benefit of the
resultant balance of good sense In the
nation.
And we would get 1t more readily and
oftener II all our elections were Off year
elections In which the hand of the poll
tician was nerveless and the money bag
was not a factor. Such mn election as
that we are about to have will come
nearer to being the expression of the
opinion of the intelligent, conscientious
voters Of the country, than one in which
large vote is polled under excitement
and pressure, inducement and bribery
In such an election we do not greatly
need the Australian ballot system, since
the uncertain voter and the serving
politician are not out.

IL Is Their OK.

The Philadelphia Republican journals
which think that the Democratic party
OF the city did SO wrong in refusing to
support District Attorney Graham for
reelection, and which thought 1t quite a
matter OF course that the Republican
candidate for rjudge should receive Demo-
cratic support, are filed with horror at
the idea that In Chester county, n a.4.sa.s-
:, Der Of Republicans propose to vote for the
Remocratic candidate for judge; so great
isN the difference in the PHILADELPHIA
Republicans Journalists vision when his
OK and his neighbor's OK is being gored.
The Philadelphia Democratic convcn-
tion accepted the Republican Judge
though he had just been put on the
BEECH by Beaver an was "no great
shakes" as q judge anyway. 1t was very
unnecessary thing for the Democratic
convention to do, and 1t would have been
far wiser If ii had nominated better
man and Democrat. There Is no reason
why governor should be permitted to
name judge of his party to be accepted
by the other, now when our constitu-
tion gives the selection to the people.
The governors choice is not sanctified
by the fact that he has served few
months on the bench. 1t is only the
old and tried and approved Judge that
has right to expect reelection with
out regard to party; and such Judge
always gets Democratic support though
he be a Republican
Judge Pennypacker, OF Philadelphia,
and Judge Butler, of Chester, as
gubernatorial judges of brief ex-
perience, had no claim upon the
Democratic vote and in Chester
the Democracy properly nominated
candidate against Judge Butler. He
seems to have been SO good man that a
number Of Republicans are going to vote
for him and hence these tears of the
Republican journals. The PHILADELPHIA
Inquirer says that Judge Butler is the
regularly nominated Republican cand-
date for judge, and as such should have
the vote Of every Republican in the
county" That is the party machine
cry all the time but how does il COM
pare With the invocation to the Demo.
cracy from the same source to abiure
politics In voting for the judiciary and
70 look only at the qualifications of the
man. 1t would seem that the Republi.
cans OF Chester, who prefer Hempbill
TO Butler, may vote for him in strict ac.
cord with this Republican counsel.

THE convention which nominated Ben.
jamin Harrison for president built a plat
form, having this plank: :" The spirit and
purpose of civil service reform should be
observed in all executive appointments :"
Mr. Harrison paid particular attention to
this In bis letter Of acceptance, declaring
that fitness and not party service should be
the test In appointments. In a speech In
the Senate he said, " l do lit up a hearty
prayer that we may never hgYe president
who does not pursue and compel his cabi-
net advisers To pursue the civil service
policy pure and simple and upon just
basis, allowing men accused to be heard
and deciding against them only upon COM
petent proof and fairly. Either have that
kind OF civil service or, for Gods sake, let
us have that other, frank and bold, if
brutal, mcthsd of turning men and women
out simply for political opinion. Let us
have one or the other"
In the case of Postmaster Harrity, Presi-
dent Harrison certainly does not pose as
the kind of president he prayed for aud
promised to be. On tho eve of an election
he removes an officer of whom Mr. Waua-
maker wrote April 10, 1888; "For Mr..
Harrity To do so well without sufficient
clerical force proves tho goodness of his
| system and the energy of his adminis ra-
| tion."
The removal may have been expected to
| have the effect of the frank bold and
brutal method" of removal for political
opinion, but 1t has nothing frank or bold
about 1t. The believers in spoils for the
victors arc given no reason why the
removal should not have been made long
ago, and tho advocates OF civil service
reform are not satisfied with tho feeble
whine that Mr.. Harrity's successor will not
he at work until his term has expired.
