Rev. l. w. Bacon, writing in the Forum,
on Cleveland and Harrisol as civil service
reformers, says that Mr.. Cleveland, in the
last months of his administration, did not
adhere very strictly to the merit system,
"but ct its lowest estate" he adds, "nis
administration was like the driven snow in
comparison with the shameful corruption
with which the postoffice patronage has
been handled by those two eminent Pres
byterian elders, Mr.. Harrison and Mr. Wan
amaker, from the moment that they gripped
the reins.N Aud yet a considerable
number of people refused to vote for Mr..
Cleveland in 1888 because they were de-
ceived into the belief that Gen. Harrison
would be a better civil service reformer. If
Harrison and Cleveland are the opposing
candidates in 1892, then voters will have no
hesitancy in voting for Mr.. Cleveland.

spirit Of the times, the two higher classes of
the Women's Medical college, Twenty-drst

missed her comfortable seat and informed her
classmates. who with one voice said: Wen

rne owner OF the cushion followed bv her
comrades walked up To the senior, who bv this
time was enjoying the soft seat, and demanded
her property. On receiving a negative answer
to her request the plucky junior grabae hold
of the cushion and pulled it from under the
senior. In an instant there was a regular tug
of war The members of each class came to the
assistance Of their comrades Each division held
on to the custom, pushing and wrestling. and
finally both came to blows.
the room was one animated mob of young
and comedy women struggling for supremacy

the ianitor entered, whether intentional or

There seems to be quite boom ior ex-
Gov. Pautison for the democratic nomi
nation for governor Of Pennsylvania.
1t is highly probable that he will be
nominated, and events points unmi stalk.
ably to the fact that the republican candi-
date will be Ouay's man, Delamater. Gov.
Pattison won national prominence by de
feating strong republican several years
ago, but at that time Senator Quay was
not such power iu Pennsylvania politics
During the six years Mr.. Carlisle WAS
speaker Of the House, there were three an
peals from his decisions, and these were not
decided by party vote. Mr.. Carlisle real
lied that be was the speaker of the House,
and not of any particular party. Mr.. Reed
has been speaker about six weeks. and there
have been five OF six appeals from his de-
cisions. In every instance they have been
decided by party vote. This illustrates
the difference between Mr. Carlisle. the
statesman, and Mr.. Reed, the unprincipled
partisan and small politician. 1t also shows
the difference between the Democratic and
che Republican parties.

1t looks very much al if the republicans
intended to MAKE political machine of the
proposed worlds fair. IL is interesting to
recall the fact that a few weeks ago the
New York Tribune and other republican
newspapers asserted that tne democrats
had a scheme to make the fair serve the
interests of the Democratic party. IL was
thought at the time that th3y were simply
trying to hide their own purposes in that
direction by spreading false reports
AS matter of fact. the democrats have
never at any time had any other object in
view than the good of the fair They have
wanted it to be great SUCCESS because of
the benefits that would accrue to the people
from it, and also because they are proud of
their country and want to see it excel other
countries in whatever it undertakes
The republicans, however, have all along
aimed to get a political advantage out of
the fair, and it is now apparent that the
charges they have made against democrats
in connections with it have been wholly
without foundation. Leading democrats
aud republicans advised with the mayor OF
New York in making out the list of
commissioners mentioned in the bill
sent to the New York legislature.
The list was satisfactory to the
lower house of the legislature, but when it
reached the Senate that body, through the
influence of the republican boss, Mr.. Platt,
added twenty-five commissioners to the
list, eighteen Of whcin are republicans. Mr..
Platt was determined that the republicans
should control the commission, thereby
giving it a political character. The re
publicans are now estoppei from asserting
that Tammany hall desired TO run the fair
in the interest of the Democratic party.
1t Is thought that vote will be taken
to-day on the gubernatorial contest in West
Virginia, but dispatches from the state
capital say that Gov Wilson stands a
pretty good chance Of continuing in Office a
good while longer. Two members of the
legislature are absent. one of them a demo-
crat and The other republican II, as is
anticipated, the republican puts in an ap
pearance in time to vote, and the democrat
doesn't, there win be a tie and with dead
lock onits hands the legislature may adjourn
without settling tle contest. Some BODY
should go after that tardy democrat, and
impress upon him the fact that if he is ever
to be of service 10 his party, now is the
time
