TIE special committee investigating Raum
will, it is almost certain. recommend his re-
moyal. II the President should refuse TO
comply with the recommendation and insist
on retaining his pension commissioner. it
would be exceedingly singular. Ever since
Raum has been in Office be has been the sub
ject of some sort of investigation. even the
Republican Fifty-frst Congress having been
called on 10 examine into his alleged retrigera-
tor frauds. II would seem that Mr.. Harrison
would be glad of an excuse to unload his
administration OF such pestiferous official.

THE cause Of civil service reform has been
suffering greatly ever since Mr. Harrison went
into office. and yet It is cause IN which large
element Of the voters of the country take
great interest. In an article remarking on
the free rein which has been given the spoils
politician. under the present administration,
the Philadelphia Record says:
In regard 70 civil service reform the ad-
ministration of Cleveland stands IN bright
contrast with that OF his successor IN the
Office OF President. So far. at least, as the
Democratic party is concerned there are
ample signs that the spolls-mongers are not
masters Of the political situation. Much
AS the machine managers may hate
or fear Cleveland the prospect OF his
nomination by the Chicago Convention IS
daily Frightening. Ii Is condition
that imperOusy confronts them; and this
condition Is the reslst!esS popularity OF
Cleveland with the Democratic masses, who
have a deep and patriotic Interest IN clean
and capable administration. and who have
small concern IN the spOlls or ONCE. IN
vie. ding 10 tho popular current towards
Cleveland the machine politicians VINO be-
heye IN the potentially Of the spolls are rem
dering reluctant obedience 10 necessity
rather than a spontaneous cholce, ana CleVe-
lands nomination promises 10 be made not
because of his friendliness 10 civil service
reform. but IN spite of IL.
Even in view of the cheering prospect OF
Cleyelands nomination and election. II would
not do 10 indulge IN illusions IN regard 70 the
speedy triumph OF the cause or civil service
reform. Such reform, like all others that
have any value. comes slowly in the progress
of political development. The spoils system
has ilourshed too long and has struck rs
roots too deeply in nearly every department
of the public service 80 be extirpated at a
blow. though a giant should WELD the AK.
But Cleveand's election would give fresh
impulse 10 the well-nigh abandoned cause"

A CORRESPONDENT Of the New York Evening
Post very properly critcises the North Ameri-
can Review for admitting so dsrcputable
man as Mat Quay to its pages. As If TO accen-
tuate still further the indifference of that pc
riodical to the personal character Of its con
tributors in its last number the editor has
brought an article by MI Gladstone, one Of
the purest Of men, into close association with
AL article by Quay one Of the most unworthy
to be found in America.
Referring to this fact the correspondent al
ready mentioned asks
Have we reached the point in the current
Barnumized literature where no distinctions
are TO be made between the villainous and the
virtuous? The tendency OF our magazines
TO adopt the methods of the dime museums
ought to be checked. When you are invited
