A NEW DEAL PROBABLE.

The vast mass of the American
people look with Indifference upon
the scramble for office that is made
at the incoming of each new ad-
ministration. 1t is only an insignif-
cant per cent of the total sixty-five
millions of our population, which is
made up of men who think that an
office, no matter how poor it is, is
the summit of earthly ambition. 1t
would be interesting to trace the
wild desire for official preferment
which dominates some men back to
what is doubtless its real source
a species of self love which desires
some mode of distinction, something
whereby they may be set apart from
their fellows, and segregated from
the common herd. An office thus
labels them, and the wild desire to
be ticketed is the animating impulse
in the mad effort to obtain place.
The singular thing with many
men is, that to have once been an
officeholder units them for return
20 private life. They seem to as
sumo that having once held Office
gives them title to similar pro-
vision for the rest of their natural
lives; and if they get out, their sole
effort is to get in again. Now, if
the spoils doctrine is correct, that
the offices are the legitimate prey of
the victorious party, it logically fol
lows that they should be made to
90 around, as far as practicable, and
that every member of the dominant
party should have his turn at an
office, if he desires it, and it cap
possibly be EnaIaged. Hence it is
plain, following out this line Of
reasoning, that having once held an
Office is the best reason why man
should not be appointed again. He
has had his reward, and the next
man should be allowed 10 have his
opportunity.
There are, it is safe to say, large

The bill providing for the census
of 1890 will pass the Senate, with
probably three amendments. One
provides for a special enumeration
of ex-soldiers and soldiers widows,
at a special compensation of five
cents for each name, instead of two
cents as in other cases; another pro-
vision is for a special examination
of negroes, mulattoes, ETC., and a
third for the collection of data as to
mortgage Indebtedness. The bill
will probably become law by the
middle of next month.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE E TO
THE"HERALD.")

Washington, D. c., Feb. 18th.
In the last few days Senator Plumb
has sprung into prominence as a
prospective cabinet officer. Some 90
so far as to say that he has been
asked to become Secretary of the
Treasury. Mr. Plumb discreetly
keeps his own counsel, but some of
his closest friends have been talking
which accounts for the matter hav-
ing gotten out. Senator ingalls,, in
reply to question, said that he did
not know whether General Harrison
had made such an offer to Senator
Plumb, but he doubted very much
whether Mr.. Plumb would accept
it if it were made.
Representative Thomas Of Illinois,
will be the next Secretary of the
Navy, unless my informant, who by
the way gave me the first news of
Mr.. Blaine's acceptance of the State
portfolio, is mistaken. Mr.. Thomas
is a member of the House commit
tee on Naval affairs, and is the de
signer of what Naval officers con
slider to be one of the best plans YET
submitted for an armored cruiser
Those who know Mr. Thomas best
think that he will make a mode
Secretary OF the Navy, and that nc
better man could have been found
to superintend the building of the
new Navy.
Desperate efforts are beng made
by many of the officials under the
present administration to get them
selves quartered on Uncle Sam in
some permanent capacity. The
friends of Assistant Secretary of the
Treasury Thompson have succeeded
in getting his name sent to the Sen

READ NEWSPAPERS AND STUDY.

Our advice to young men is to
study politics all the time. Begin
now to keep the run Of current
events, not only at home, but abroad.
Watch the struggle in France, with
Boulanger rising above the angry
surges of the troubled waters.
Mark the progress Of the home rule
idea in the British parliament, and
especially the part that the "Grand
Old Man" is taking in it. Note the
attempts that are made to establish
civilization and Christianity in
Africa. In order to do this you
must do more than read the news
papers carefully. You must delve
into history. You should also read
carefully the best works you can
find on the science Of government.
The political parties in our own day
present a study we'll worth watching
carefully. Above all, make it a
point to analyze motives, separate
the good from the bad, carefully
make up your mind as to what is
right, but do not blind yourselves to
the faults in your own party; make
it a rule of your life never to do in
politics anything that you would &C
count wrong in business or social
life. Any young man who views the
passing struggles of men and parties
from the high plane of intelligence
and virtue will not only be a credit
to himself and party, but will be a
good to the nation.-New Haven,
Conn Register.

Senator Cullom, of Illinois, in his
speech to the members of the Illinois
legislature thanking them for re-
electing him, gave a good deal of
prominence to the question of the
political union of Canada and the
United States, and expressed him
self positively as an annexationist.
We doubt, however, if Mr.. Culloln
would go to the length of advising
annexation by force; and at present
nothing seems palmer than that a
large majority of the Canadians arc
strongly opposed to the measure.

Office at the incoming of the Cleve-
land regime, and who were then
made to step down and out that the
Democratic boys might come in and
warm their toes, who rejoiced in
Harrison's election in the belief that
they would be restored to their old
places. They seem to think that
the fact that they were displaced By
Democrats is a sufficient reason why
they should be cared for by the in
coming administration. We very
much fear that they are doomed to
disappointment, if they cherish such
a delusive hope. The indications are
beginning to show on the surface
that there is to be a new deal-that
in the positions not covered by the
civil law, where Republicans are
put into office, the chances of a
new man are far better than for
one of the old Republican IN.
cumbents.
We cannot but approve of this, il
it shall be, to large extent, carried
out by the new administration in the
great mass of appointive positions
We do not refer to the more impor
tant administrative positions, but tc
the clerkships and routine places
If men are to go in because they are
Republicans, let US have an infusion
of'new blood. Let the young lner
have a chance. We believe in rota
ton in office, and not in an office
holding aristocracy. In fact, the
strongest objection to civil service
reform in the minds of the people
is that they think it tends to the
organization of class of chronic
ofice-hOlders. And we believe that
if civil service reform is to become
permanently the Offices are to b,
filed irrespective of politics, on thu
sole test of education and ability
the principle of rotation in Office
will have to be engrafted thereon
except i'll the few positions requir
ing great technical or scientific
/ knowledge, so that a man, afte
serving specified term will be com
PEELED to retire, and be disqualified
from holding any federal positions
for at least all equal number o.
years.
If this be not done, then it is Ger
tain that the system of civil pen
sions will be added, and another
burden be placed upon the shoulder,
of the patient taxpayers. 1t will bC
argued that if man has spent his
active life in the government ser
vice, the government should take
care of him when he is too old tC
work. A venomous mugwumr
paper lately said. in a diatriht
against the service pension bill, thai
the time was coming "when every
taxpayer will have to carry an ole
soldier on his back" If rotation il
Office is not adopted, we'shall, in al
soberness, see the time when every
taxpayer will have to carry super
animated ofIice-holder on his back
Let us have rotation in office, ant
new deal in federal appointments
Give new men and young men
chance, and let those who have helC
an Office take a back seat. -ToledO

Hair NEGLECTED.

Soon becomes dry, harsh, coarse, and

turns prematurely gray, or falls out rap
idly and threatens early badness. A
careful dressing daily with Ayers Hair
Vigor-the best preparation for the pur-
pose -will preserve the hair in all its
luxuriance and beauty to good old age.
"My hair was faded and dry" writes
Mabel &. Hardy, of Delaware, ILL.,, "but
after using only half bottle of Ayers
Hair Vigor it became black and glossy
l cannot express the gratitude feel"
Frederick P. Coggeshall, Bookseller,
81 Merrimack ST., Lowell, Mass, writes:
Some six or seven years ago my wife
had severe Illness, in consequence of
which she became almost entirely bald
and was compelled to wear wig. A
few months since she began to apply
Ayers Hair Vigor to the scalp, and, after
using three bottles, has a good growth
of hair started all over her head. The
hair is now from two to four inches long,
and growing freely. The result is
most gratifying proof of the merit OF
your admirable preparation"

man, Rrpublican-and the friends
of Thompson will endeavor to per-.
suade the Republican Senators that
he should be confirmed, and that
the other vacancy will be left for
Gen. Harrison to fill with a Repub-
lican. A very ingenious plan, but
what effect it will have is yet to be
seen.
Then First Assistant Postmaster
General Stevenson is after a lifetime
job. Owing to a recent death, there
is vacancy on the Supreme Court
of the District of Columbia, and
Stevenson has made a dead set at
the appointment. Mr.. Cleveland
may nominate him, but there is little
probability that the Republican
Senators will confirm the man who
openly regretted that the official
day was not longer so that he might
remove more republican postmasters.
Democrats of the House say that
the Senate tariff bill will be reported
from the committee on Ways and
Means this week. Lively times are
expected over it.
Mr.. Blaine has taken a long lease
on the residence which was formerly
occupied by Hon. II. II. Seward,
President Lincoln's Secretary of
State. 1t is peculiarly appropriate
that the residence occupied by the
Secretary of State of the first Repuh'
lean administration, at the begin
ming of the first twenty-five years of
that party's power, should be now,
at the beginning Of the party's Sec
ond quarter-century of ascendancy,
again occupied 10y the same of
fetal. 1t is a good omen.
The COZ ferees on the Springer
Omnibus" bill failed to come to any
agreement. No report has yet been
made to either house, but a caucus
of Republican Senators have decid'
ed to stand by the Senate amend,
ments, which so far as | can see
settles the fate of the bill, but Mr.
Springer still thiMks the bill will
pass. lie says that three Republic
an Senators will vote with the
Democrats to admit New Mexico
Perhaps they may, but if so it will
be the first time that a Republican
Senator has voted against party
caucus, in my recollection.
Secretary Bayard has again put
his foot in it. He has forced Mr..
Sewell, U. S. Consul General to Sa'
moa, to resign because that official
gave the foreign committees of the
House and Senate true statement
of affairs in those islands, state
ment that was necessarily uncompli-
mentary to the State department..
The removal of Mr.. Sewell at this
time is regarded as particularly un-
fortunate, because it will appear to
the natives of the islands as though
it was done through fear of Ger
many, ard as a rebuke to him for
bravelY insisting on American
rights. SO strong does this view of
the case strike Secretary Frye, that
he says if he has any influence with
the next administration Sewell shall
90 back to Samoa as Consul Gen,
eral.
Governor Hill of New York was
over here last week, and he and Mr.
Cleveland had a regular monkey and
parrot time keeping out of eacl
others way. They met at dinner
at Secretary Whitney's, bnt as soor
as the dinner was over Cleveland
took train for New York and re.
NAMED there until he knew the Gov
ernor had left Washington. The
fact that Mr.. Cleveland has decided
to live in New York city after the
Fourth of March has added nothin!
to the love between these TIVE
gentlemen.
