Themonument over General Arthur's grave
was designed by Mr.. E. Keyser, of Albany,
and the work cost $4,000. A broad flight of
five granite steps leads from the path to the
turf which covers the burial plot, while
around the enclosure are granite pillars, be-
tween which are suspended heavy chains Of
bronze In the centre of the plot is the
monument, a sarcophagus of dark granite,
perfectly plain and highly polished. The
sarcophagus stands on two piers of lighter
colored granite, also highly polished The
piers rest on broad base of granite, and the
base is supported by smoothly dressed gran
ite plinth ten feet long and six feet broad.
At the foot of the sarcophagus stands a
figure representing the Angel of Sorrow.
The figure is of bronze, and is of heroic size.
1t stands with folded wings leaning against

WET BY A BIG MAJORITY.
Prohibition Defeated in Pennsylvania
The Poll Tax Retained.

Returns from sixty-four of the sixty-seven
counties in Pennsylvania give 164, 40 ma
jority against the proposed amend
ment prohibiting the sale OF liquor
Forty-two counties mot including Allegheny
gave 1925 majority for abolishing the poll
tax. but the rural districts voted heavily
against this amendment and it Is lost
Returns received at the Plttsburg Tunes
office include every county in the State, and
are as follows:
Against the Prohibition Amendment 1S9, 10
For. ........... .-..... ''..'N'' "t,oA'
Majority AGAINST 135, 1B
As the later returns come in 1t is apparent
that the Prohibition defeat is more complete
and Overwhelming than was ever dreamed OF.
Exact figures from fifty counties in the STATE
and close estimates on the other seventeen
give majority against the prohibitory
amendment of 200,057. These figures were
not likely to be materially changed.
Returns received show that the suffrage
amendment proposing the abolition of the
fifty-cent poll tax qualification is defeatedb by
decided majority, notwithstanding the fact
that Philadelphia gave 90, 525 majority for its
adoption. The latest estimate from all but
twelve counties was 1896 against the poll

IT must be obvious says the Pittsburg
Times. to intelligent Observers that in
certain respects the Republic has ont.
GROVE the capacity OF the original ma
chinery of tie Government. For ex-
ample, take the present mode of filing
the offices. Every time there is a
change in the party complexion of the
administration a great ard harassing
burden Is thrown upon the President.
AS the population has increased the
burden has also Increased until il
has become an intolerabIe one. The
filling Of the Offices under any circum-
stances is a work the magnitude of
which was not contemplated by the
trainers OF the Republic. They did not
preceive the possibility OF its growth
nor comprehend the immensity OF the
patronage that would be dispensed.
No adequate provision was made fOr
dispensing it, consequently the pres
sure on the President and the Execu-
tive Departments has become so great
that how to relieve it is a practical
question to-day. The election of Post
masters by the people is proposed as a
measure OF relief.
II Postmasters, why not United
States Marshals, District Attorneys and
other officers now appointed by the
President? To this there are objec-
tions, some OF which are not so easily
anwered. II filling these Offices by
public choice is decided against, the
question is none the less pressing.
Would not Commission appointed by
the President and charged with the
duty of filing all the offices, or different
Commissions, among which the Offices
shall be divided, be an Improvement on
the present plan? This or some other
way OF relieving the President is be-
coming a necessity, if it is not so al
ready. Not TO refer to the magnitude
of the power which the patronage places
in the hands of the Executive, the labor
of hearing and deciding on the claims
of applicants for the Offices Is lot cons
pataole with The dignity and the other
duties of the head of the government.
10 lowers the Presidential office it has
I degenerated into an evil of enormous
magnitude. To provide a remedy is
work for statesmen.

CIVIL Service and Party Prescription.

The new Secretary of the Interior
Mr.. Noble, OF MiSSouri-haS been ex-
tensively quoted as having said In a re-
cent interview that wherever he finds
ian inefficient Democrat" he will dis
pute that 1t is the right as well as the
duty of every Administration to re.
move all iDefficien. officials, whether
they be Democrats or Republicans.
But when the Secretary SAYS he will
illi the places of incompetent Dsino-
Gratis solely with efficient Republicans,
this is neither common senses nor in
accordance with the law. The Civil
Service law, which It is Secretary No
ble's sworn duty to enforce, knows
neither Democrats nor Republicans In
filling large proportion of the offices
In his department. He may remove
whomsoeyer he pleases upon the charge
of incompetencY but he will violate
the law whenever he shall fill the Va
caney thus created on party grounds.
The law distinctly forbIds him from
making any political discrimination
among those who have passed the civil
service examination and hold certlfi-
Gates of fitness.
But doubtless Secretary Noble re-
ferred 70 those officials of the Interior
Department who are not within the
Civil Service law. In that case his
quoted remark was wholly irrelevant,
since there is 10 question of efficiency
or inefficiency in removing Democrats
from the higher positions in the Interior
Department which the civil service
rules do not cover. In making remov-
ais from these positions and filling
them with efficient Republicans the
only ule that the Secretary has yet
recognized is that ''to the victors be-
long the spoils." Why then, does he
seek to soften the brutality of the
spoils policy with a meaningless COM
monplace p-Phild. Record.

The High Moral Ideas.

The Party Of High Moral Ideas has
indirectly found itself in a peculiar po-
sition By the death of Justice Stanley
Matthews OF the Supreme Court. No
successor to this gentleman has yet put
in an appearance, though two men
stand forth so pIe-eminent for high
character and attachments thai there
should be but little trouble in selecting
one or the other OF them for this impor-
tant post. We refer to Walter Q. Gresh-
am, Circuit Judge OF the United States
for the Seventh Circuit (Indianal. an
able and upright man, and Judge
Thomas NJ. Cooley, Chairman of the
Interstate Commerce Commission. ex
Chief Justice OF the Safe OF Michipan
and one of the ablest lawyers that
America has ever produced.
But alas Judge Gresham was not a
u aine man. Judge Cooley voted for
Cleveland In 1884. Both these men are
too conscientious, we greatly fear, to
get to the Supreme Bench under this
Administration. The man whose soul
revolted against the endless dishonest
les OF the Gentlemen from Maine can
certainly not expect too much from an
Administration whose Premier is this
same Greatest Living Statesman.
There would be something particu-
larry appropriate in the appointment of
either OF these men to the Supreme
Bench. Judge Gresham, whilst an able
and strong man, hao encountered no
enmities previous to the late campaign
except on the part of Mr.. Blaine. His
prominence as candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for the Presidency
was a tribute to the moral and intellect
ual worth of the mau himself II is
said that this fact has arIayed the Presi-
dent himself against Gresham, though
it is but justice to say that such petit
ness should not be charged
| against General Harrison without
due and convincing proof. AS to Judge
Cooley. this paper has frequently spo-
ken. 1t Is suggested his appointment
TO the vacancy caused by the death of
the late Chief Justice Waite. although
approving President Cleveland's choice
o: the present incumbent, Melville
Weston Fuller. In America TO-DAY
there IS probably no better equipped
man for the Supreme Bench than Judge
Cooley. In either case, however. whetb-
er the President should see fit to ap.
point either Gresham or Cooley. he
would serve the country well and show
spirit which would go a great way
towards establishing his own reputation
on broad and solid foundations.-P
