What WAS the song-bird telling his mare,
When the midnight moon-like the eye Oi

Two leagues away from the silver sea
And warbled low 10 his mate and me,

OF the NoD!er Race whose blood shall roll
Forever free from the taint Of crime,
In that shining age, whose morn sublime
Appears on the distant verge Of lime,
Whose music floats on the early air
Like an answer To a worlds long prayer
That man shall his brothers keeper be.
That the mark OF cain shall be -ll5ced,
And the land, like the open air be free.

OFFICIAL PAPER or THE CITY,


These are the days IN which the very
ar Is redolent with evil service reform.
IL IS the one thing which Is found IN all
party platforms, and IS the shlbboleth
OF the George William Curtlsites. To
the latter II is the pinion upon which
the whole world turns But with all
this talk of civil servicism, IS the idea
as thoroughly understood as It should
be- Do the people know that to carry
the idea TO the extreme to which some
OF its loudest proclaimed adherents are
dessrous Of carrying il, the service Of
the government would be seriously
erippled7 An efficient discharge of the
duties of person IN the government's 8
employ is certainly the one thing TO be
most desired. Is this best obtained by
announcing to the employe that he
need have no fear of losing his position?
That after having stood an examins-
ton. which may not have had much
10 do with his duties as an employe, he
is reasonably sure of q life position.
While it is evident that changes should
not be made IN the personnel of
any department of government IN
such q manner as TO seriously
impair the efficiency of that depart
ment, vet there are many reasons
why the party IN power should have
all Offices from President TO Psthmss-
ter within its control. And especially
should the head of q department, the
conduct of which ne is held responsible
for, have the right to say-without
being called to answer for a reasonable
exercise of such nght-who should be
employees under him. He is the one
best calculated TO know what constitutes
efficiency IN his department. and TO
him the public looks for a proper dis
charge of the duties of his department.
Such being the case an employe under
him should understand that he is
under MS control. This we think
would lead to a more proper discharge
OF an employees duties.
New lite blood IN the service of the
Government is much better than a lot
Of pensioners upon the good grace of
the Government, after efficiency has
departed from them.

"Mr. Harrison makes one suggestion

IN the matter of proposed public build

may be founded upon public policy in
