To Ofcs Seekers.

While every man has a right to
want an Office, we trust that our
people will remember that the polit-
ical patronage, as we'll as the physical
powers, even of a Congressman, are
limited.
Of the many who aspire to Office
but few can be gratified, and each
one must take his chances. The
Civil ServiceElaw stands in the way
of clean sweep of the offices and
there will be but few places open for
many months yet to come except
some of the smaller postoffices. EX-
cept in the Internal Revenue Office,
chanages are not likely to be made
in the Baltimore Custom House for
nearly year, and then applicants
must pass the Civil Service eXami-
nation.
Members of Congress can best and
most efficiently serve the interests of
their constituents, by being given
every hour possible of freedom from
the opportunities and persistence of
Office seekers, and nothing is to be
gained by undue and improper haste
or by boring people to death who
cannot move mountains if they
would.
The above article we clip from the
Frederick Examiner and heartily
concur therein. Our own Represen-
tative, Mr.. McComas, has had, since
March 4, an arduOus experience.
Though sick, he remained in Wash
ington, and had sometimes a hundrt d
calls a day from Republicans who
want Federal office. We are relia
bly, informed that, in addition to
personal application, he receives by
mail four or five hundred applica-
tions weekly.
All oil this shows not only that the
physical endurance of member of
Congress gets little consideration,
but that many of the Republicans
who seek office do not apply their
usual intelligence to the problem be-
fore them. If they would look back
to 1880 (the last Republican Presi-
dencv) and remember how few Re
publicans at home received office,
and then remember that the civil
I t service laws and regulations do not
leave open for Mr.. .McComas to fill
even ten per cent. of the Offices then
bestowed. few as they were; and
then remember Mr.. Harrison's decla-
ration that ne would be slow. very
slow; if they would remember all
these things. we think many of the
more patriatic Republican applicants
would withdraw. believing that the
personal qualification over the ascen-
dency of Republican ideas and prin-
ciples in government is, after all, the
only real qualification that will g.
around among all Republicans

BY convening Congress in the fall
the organization can be effected and

The National Garment Cutter.

To cut. fit and make garments of
every description that will conform
with prevailing fashion and fit per-
fpctly is q most desirable attainment.
1t is one that any lady will find a
valuable and economic requirement
in her domestic education. To the
wealthy the ability to correctly sup
erintend the cutting and making of
garments for family use is both a
pleasure and saving, while to the
Door it is a necessity. By the use Of
the National Garment Cutter this
can be accomplished. 1t is no Chart
or paper Model, but composed of a
fine folding square. a scroll or draft
tool, a full set of scales, and book of
diagrams and instructions so simple
that any one can understand it, tape
measure, etc and all neatly packed and
put up in nice box prepared for 1t.
The only true method for cutting
Clothing, or any other mechanical
work, is by actual measurement, and
this system is so thoroughly reduced
and sinplified that a child that can
read figures and guide its hands can
use this system accurately and sue
cessfulIy. While all ladies should
know how to cut, make up and trim
all kinds of clothing, heretofore the
tailors' and dressmakers' rules have
been shrouded IN mystery, or kept
beyond the reach of the masses, as in
most cases it requires a payment of
various sums, ranging from S25 to
500, and weeks of time DEVOTED to
study and practice.
But by the use of the NATIONAL
GARMENT CUTTER any family can
not only cut but at the same time.
have drafts and instructions, how to
make up, drape and trim all the diff
ferent articles in the latest styles,an

dressmaker this is especially needfui)
and parties, though noyices, may
readily become experts.

An interesting fact, shown in the re-
port Of Commissioner Of Internal Reve'
nue. Mason, Is that in the past ten years,
without prohibition, the number Of re.
tail liquor licenses has decreased in West
Virginia, while in prohibition States
the number has increased during the
same period.
In 1878 tho number Of retail liquor
dealers in West Virginia was GOS;
in 1880 the number was 6Sl, a de.
crease Of III In Maine, where pro-
hibitlon has been in force for forty
years, the number Of liquor licenses in.
creased from 4l2 in 1878 to O1O in 1857.
Since 1857 tue collection district Of
Maine has been part OF that Of New

pose Of comparison, that Maine and West
Virginia are about equal in population.
