THE CIVIL service reform law is demon
alizing humbug, as injurious to those who
obey,a it is to those who attempt to enforce
it, aud necessarily so, BY reason OF the TACT
that from the very nature OF the case the
law is essentially sham and pretense. MIR.

of New York, who was appointed by re-
publican President, who is republican
who was recommended for reappointment
by the business men of his city, and who
was such pronounced civil service reformer
that Mr.. Cleveland retained him In office
during the whole of his administration. Now
the letter of the civil service law was not
broken by the removal referred to, but every
reasonable man knows that the spirit OF it
was; aud how can the people be expected to
respect the laws when they know that their
chief executive officer disregards and ignores
