Some of the leading Democratic journals
are making Mr.. Andrew Caneige's sub
scription of 1875, 900 for the sufferers in the
Conemaugh valley, the occasion of attack
upon him as a business man. This is fair

Senator Blair's Views.

Washington dispatches to the Boston
Journal give the following as the views of
Senator Blair, of New Hampshire, on the
civil service law, and in relation to pOstoffice
appointments. In our opinion the Senator
is level headed, for If there is an outrage
on common decency existing in this land 1t is
the civil service commission. But read
what Senator Blair says:
1.-THE civil service law with the masses of
the people is unpopular, to say the least. 1t
is administered too much like the proceed
ings of the star chamber. In its present
performances, it is no part of American in
stitutions, and unless the new commission
ers shall be able to make something out of
from the laws. The truth is you can never
convince either the majority or the minority
of the American people that, when there is
change in the ruling party, there should
not go along with 1t a substantial change
of the great mass of those who are in SYM
pathy with the outgoing party. Perhaps
this is all wrong, but If so it is because the
people are wrong. have never known 10
individuals who had stood by the country in
peace, or who were willing to die in battle
for the country who were in favor of this
civil service commission method of making
appointments to Office"
The hypocrisy of civil service the senator
illustrated by citing that Partially was
shown inasmuch as nearly every one APP
pointed through the commission was a
Democrat. He said that this was wrong i'm
either party. Whoever has tried case
before jury" he added, 'knows how the
American mind goes for humbug and the
American mind will soon explode this hum
bug, and every party or set of men who
pretend to advocate 1t will go up in the ex-
plOsion. A system of examinations by
somebody who knows what is required in
the several branches of the government
would be well, perhaps, but this should be
done above board. so that all might know
what the result was and there would be no
injustice.
II know it is said that the power of desig-
nation or discharge still remains with the
president under the civil service law. The
power to make application does not and the
power to appoint remains with the presi-
dent only SO far as he accepts some one of
the three selections made by the commission.
Out of the 100000 of people he is limited
to three by the commission, from whom he
makes his selection for each Office coming
under the civil service. If civil service
must continue, / would advise those who
admire 1t to open their doors and let the
people see what is going on inside" OF
the postoffice fights, Senator Blair added:
II believe that 1920 of the grumbling and
dissatisfaction that exists in reference to the
postoffices of the country would be removed
by making the postmasters elective in the
communities wherein they do service, and
have them subject to removal by the post
master general as is now the case. Repre-
sentative Grout of Vermont has devoted
much labor to this idea during several Con-
crosses. Ibeleive 1t should be incorporated
into our laws

Refined and graceful manners are
worthy of the most careful cultivation.
A true gentleman is gentle and true at
all times. That refinement which be-
haves according to rule with scrupu-
lous exactness at courtly entertain
ments, but suffers its possessor to act
rudely toward the most obscure neigh
Dor or servant, is an artificial grace
which can be put on for the occasion
and laid aside at convenience. Gentil-
ity which is genuine is inseparable
from the personality. 1t has its seat
in the character. 1t beauties the en-
tire being, and shines with undimmed
luster under all circumstances. A con-
Smporary revives an old story about
General Washington which is worthy
of wide circulation. Having estab-
lished his headquarters at a certain
farmhouse, the general learned that a
sick girl occupied an upper room, and
gave strict orders that no gun should
be fired and no drum beat near the
place. After supper, having retired
quietly to his room, he heard all up
roar in the dining-room caused by the
boisterous behavior of the thoughtless
members of his staff. Opening his
door gently, he walked on tiptoe noise
lessly across the room. and taking q
book from the mantel he returned in
the same way, bidding his officers
goodnight, with bow and smile,
closed his door with such care as to
make no disturbance. In this beauti-
full behavior he rebuked the careless
men effectually, and displayed de-
gree of thoughtfulness for the suffer-
Ing which would have been impossible
in a rude, uncultured person, and eX-
hibited type of manhood worthy of
admiration and imitation. But such
refinement is not to be had for wish
ing, nor is it born with its possessor.
1t is the result of genuine grace and
painstaking self-culture.
