The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1889-08-24


Mr.. Newhauser In his energetic and sue.
cessful canvass OF North.Louisians. *
Rev. r. w. Merrell, Of Now Orleans. CON
tinues Ito draw interested crowds to the
Hasley Baptist church, where, for some
two weeks he has been conducting q series
OF meetings.
Mr.. Merrall irnpresses the TELEaRAPH
man as an earnest and zealous preacher OF
the Gospel. His style is evangelistic and,
therefore. fervid and pointed. He attacks
every conceivable sort Of sin. boldly,
squarely, and yet chastely.
Whisky is an abominakion in his sight,
and she would not give q copper cent for
enough to fill the bed of the Atlantic
Ocean," 1t is good for nothing oh earth, in
fact. is not worth shell ROOM"
Mr.. Merrell thinks the Louisiana Lottery
Company a great iniquity, and character
ICES it as q wholesale gambling machine.
Jno. w. Morris, by his own admission,
says MIR. Merrell. made one million dollars
out of the Lottery during the past year,
and Mr.. A. Baldwin. of the great hardware
house of Baldwin u Co.. received, during
the same time, as dividends on q small
block Of the stock, the sum of forty thons-
aud dollars!
These personal illusions would not occur
in these columns but for the gratuitous
statement Of the reverend gentleman that
he ''did not care If they did get into the pa
pers, and rather hoped they would be tele-
graphed that night to the New Orleans
morning press. They were true, of public
interest and Importance and ought to be
talked about In public"
The figures are interesting, and big, and
we give them space because we like to
write Of interesting and big things.
We wish Mr.. Merrell the tull measure of
success that the importance of his mission
demands.

PUSHING REFORM.

When President Harrison made his
appointments Of civil service commits
sioners, he gave the best possible evil
dence OF his sincere desire to promote
real reform in the civil service. He
did not promise. rs his predecessor had
done, to make this the cardinal policy
of his administration. He had made a
record in favor OF civil service reform,
and he had declared his full concur
renee with the attitude of his party on
the subject, but he had his own ideas of
how to proceed and he pursued them
regardless of the opinions and
criticisms of others. He found that
grave wrongs had been done which
demanded to be righted, and he did nol
hesitate to act as justice and the inter
ests of the public service required. He
did not commend himself to the ex-
treme and unpracticable reformers, but
he did his duty TO his own satisfaction
and that of the fair and candid judg-
ment of the country.
The appoin tment of civil service COM
missioners in full and hearty sympathy
with reform meant that the president
intended to give the policy fair and
thorough trial, under the supervision
of men whose integrity and devo-
tion none could doubt. This intention
is being put into effect. Civil service
regulations are being extended in every
department, and it is undertood that
the president favors applying them TO
the employees for taking the next CEN
sus. The tongues of his democratic and
mugwump critics are silenced and the
criticism he now gets comes from the
spoils politicians OF his own party. The
promise is that the day of farcical re-
form has gone by, and that hereafter
there is to be an honest, straightfor-
ward policy, to be judged on its merits.
Such a course will be in striking con-
trast to what the country has hitherto
experienced.
