LODGE CIVIL SERVICE.

AT the present time Mr.. CIarks0n, the
First Assistant Unconstitutional Of the
United States, seems to be the most proml-
nent member of the Republican party, if an
inference can be drawn from the general
attention which his speeches on various
subjects attract. The truth is that he not
only entertains the views of an extreme
partisan, which gives him an unusually
conspicuous position in the organization to
which he belongs, but he also possesses the
art of expressing his opinions in pointed
and striking way. For these reasons,
he rarely speaks without making a
decided impression upon public senti-
ment. The TINES had occasion
recently to dwell at some length on the adj
dress which he delivered few weeks ago at
Pittsburg, in which he warned the Republic
can party against the consequences that
would inevitably follow the gradual seces-
sion to the Democratic party of all the lead
Ing newspapers and reviews Of the United
States. This secession, he declared. was in
the process of rapid operation, and if ii was
allowed TO continue the Republicans would
be left with few representative organs.
This, he said, would signify the total de-
struction Of the party organization.
But it appears that in Mr.. Clarkson's
opinion there is another influence at work
which Is doing much TO damage the Repub-
lican party, namely, civil service rules. In
.,oo.l, IN, .fxt1 corxina rafor,, Ia1i,.,.oJ
in Boston recently, he reiterated his
entire disapproyal Of the reform in question,
declaring "that all the offices should be held
by members of the party in power, and that
the only way TO carry on the government
was by having chiefs Of departments select
their own subordinates."
These radical utterances were received
with applause by Mr.. Clarkson's audience,
public condemnation of only one man of
prominence in the Republican party, name
ly, Mr.. Lodge, Of Massachusetts, who is
regarded by many Of his party associates rs
mere political theerist, a diletante states
man who has little knowledge of so called
'practical politics."
In an interview with representative Of
the press on May 18th, Mr.. Lodge
expresses his warm opposition to the views
Of Mr.. Clarkson on the Civil Service rules, |
and in the minds Of all disinterested per- |
sons, completely disposes Of the objections
Of the Assistant Postmaster General. lie |
takes up thes objections seriatim and re-
plies 10 them fully and calmly.
"In the routine business officers of
he government" he says switch form
he great mass Of the civil service,
politics are Of no consequence and
never would be thought Of In that connec-
ion II the holders Of these places had not
zen taught for years that the right TO carry
etters or run errands for the government de-

Mr.. David Thayer, of Boston, calls in an Illus
trsted pamphlet for the organization of an
aeroststic society. He watches guIls going for
Q whole week at the rate Of fifty miles an hour
and carrier-pigeons a shorter period at the
speed of a hundred miles in a hundred min
utes. and he concludes that given an apparatus
Of large kites and the resistance to that force
by means of a drag at opposite ends of three or
more draught lines we have an aerial railway.
His theory is comparatively expressed thus:
Force No. is the direct action Of the wind
upon the aerophones or kites; Force No. is
tie resistance which the drag offers to the
wind BY the iudicious use of these forces we
are 70 be enabled TO take dizzy journeys over
Land and sea, to cross the pole and find what is
hidden there and whereabouts in the frozen re-
gions north aud south. to save the long excur-
SONS on camei-back over the Sahara and
through Asian steppes, IN a phrase to annihi-
Lite time aud distance in a palace car sus-
pended high in air. The public will firmly in
. st that Mr.. Thayer follow the precedent es-
tlblished by Darius Green. at least to the ex-
tent Of taking the first trip upon his aerostatic
railway himself.

There Is some foolish talk of a packing" Of
the House civil service reform committee in
The interest Of civil service reform. In view of
the declarations of the republican platform and
administration respecting the maintenance and
extension OF the reform, the selection Of men
hostile to the reform to carry out the party's
pledges on the subject would have been dis

The republican party has promised extension
Of the reform and the republican Speaker has
appointed committee which, it is believed,
may safely be trusted to carry that promise
into effect A dishonorsble packing of the
committee would have consisted in appointing
spoilsmen upon a civil service reform COM
mitsee, who would seek to evade or nullify tho
prty's promises, and instead Of correcting de-
fects in the existing law and compelling its full
enforcement would utilize eyas:ons OF or weak
nesses in the Law 10 secure, if possible, its re-
peal
