Sham Civil Service Refornn.

There is good deal of sham in civil serv-
ice reform. Those whose duty it is to see
that the laws against violators of civil serv-
ice rules and regulations are properly
enforced have not yet reached that point
where they are willing to do their duty
faithfully, fearlessly and conscientiously.
Quite a long time ago a man in Washing
ton was arrested for violating that provis-
ion of the civil service laws which prohib-
it's the collection of money from govern
ment employees for campaign purposes.
During Mahone'S last campaign in Virginia
this provision of the law was violated. A
man who assessed and collected campaign
subscriptions from government clerks was
arrested. He has never been brought to
trial, and, according to our dispatches yes
terday, he was recently given his liberty to
hunt for bondsman.
The prosecuting attorney, who is a repub-
lican. has as yet taken no steps to bring
this man to trial. Notwithstanding the fact
that the evidence against him appears to be
clear. And neither the President nor the
Attorney General seems to care much
whether the culprit is tried or not.
The civil service commissioners have done
all they could to have the prosecuting attor-
ney do his duty, but they have met with no
success. The prosecuting officer seems to
think that if he shows zeal in the matter he
will lose his place.
The power behind him, of course, is the
cause of his indifference. 1t is clear that
neither the President nor the Attorney
General wants the &C cused man tried. They
think, probably, that If the accused man
were brought to trial and civil service re-
form upheld they would lose some political
influence, which the President, who is seek
ing a denomination, may need. A great
reform is blocked, therefore, in the interest

What Italy wanted to know chiefly was
whether Fava lived richly and we'll or
whether he was given to frequenting those
cheap restaurants with which Washington
is literally peppered. That seems to be
going a trife too far. Simply because a
man represents certain country in a for
eign land his government hardly has a
right to gaze down his throat and decide on
what meat he habitually feeds. In order to
be faithful representative of Italy Rudini
seems to think that Fava should stick to
straight macaroni with dyspeptic Roman
condiments and wear genuine Neapolitan
olive oil in his hair. But that is going a
trifie too far. In a freer land Fava should
be at liberty to squander his salary In high
priced hotels or gorge himself at the free
lunch counters. Neither would materially
interfere with his translation of an official
dispatch. All that should be particularly
required of Fava is TO studiously avoid the
powerful and sllurlng American booze.

Rev. Conwell's Lecture.

The lecture of Rev. Russell Fl. Conwell
in the Court House, on the evening of the
I'd inst, was in all respects the most novel
and entertaining of any yet delivered under
the auspices of our Lecture Association.
1t was novel because it introduced new
character, whose history is but little known
in this country. When Mr.. Conwell an
nounced that in treating his subject, "The
Heroism of Private Life" he would tell of
one of the greatest patriots and men who
ever lived, in any age or cline, all expect
ed to hear of some great and well-known
character, some one of when they had read
of, or at least heard Of But when he said
the name of his hero was Daniel Manin, of
the city of Venice, Italy, all opened their
eyes in astonishment! And yet the history
of the struggle in Italy, by which its peo-
pie gained great political rights, confirm
all the lecturer told of him. He was
patriot. He combined in his character
elements rare in man,-the power to lead
and govern people and the power not to
neen in Italian), was rare and unselish
patriot, fearless defender of liberty, an
unconquerable foe to the oppressors Of his
country and to all tyranny and wrong. He
suffered terrible trials in defense of his
people, but was finally crowned their de-
liverer and was President Of the free city
of Venice. There is no doubt but that the
influence and example of our Revolution
ary heroes fired the hearts of many in
Europe and went far to produce such pa
triots as Daniel Manin, who may be term
ed the Patrick Henry of the free city of
Venice.
