The Force Bill Did II.

That staid and impartial Democratic
paper the New York Journal Of Commerce,
which possesses the entire confidence OF
Its few thousand readers. says in the
following paragraph that JOHNNY DAvEN-
PORT did it." lie did more than anything
else TO swell the wave of popular dlscon-
tent. We quote:
The course OF Davenport and his subordi-
mates and the extension 20 other States Of the
Byssem under which he is acting has done more
than anything else TO swell this wave OF popular
discomfort. The people are becoming sick OF the
eentralizing policy so long more or less preva-
lent at Washington, but this form OF II is par
ticularly odious. When tho better class OF the
Republicans defeated the force bill in Congress
they gave distinct notice TO their partisan lead
ers that they were not prepared TO see the man
ngement Of popular elections taken out Of the
hands OF the State authorities. They claimed
that the Federal Government represented the
same people which formed the State, and n
transfer OF the power 10 supervise elections was
bot therefore the handing st over 10 better
constituency, but the placing OF Il under the
control Of party leaders, and they feared that in
exciting times such would not be a very judicious
change"
Senator TELLER pronounced the force
bill the most infamous bill that had ever
crossed the threshold Of the Senate. The
people have endorsed his declaration. We
congratulate him. Republican though he
be, on having helped 10 gam the grand
victory Just achieved.
Let us repeal the "iniamous" law al
ready on the statute book under which I'M
principled characters are placed in charge
Of the Federal election machinery. six
thousand or more Of these Federal officials
were appointed in New York city alone 10
overawe the people, or else as means OF
Securing their votes for the Republican
party. One OF the strongest objections to
The little force bill is that it offers a bride
OF IS day to the man who will vote the
EepuOlicsn ticket. Down with such q
law.

"CiyiI-SerVice Reform.

What tTavesty upon civll-servlce re-
form would be Mr.. HARRIsoN's resort to
the civll-service law as a means Of keeping
Republicans in Office under Democratic
administration. He would be worse than
the dog in the manger to pursue such a
course. Yet the papers Of yesterday say
that he has for some months been con-
sidering tho question of placing the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing and the
Government Printing Office within the
classified service. That Is to say, he will
do all that the law in question will enable
him to do to prevent the Democrats from
enioying the fruits of their victory Of
Tuesday last. He WILL if the law allows
HIM to do so, place all his Republican pets
out of reach Of the broom of reform with
which the Democrats propose to sweep
the country"
Civil-service reform is inconsistent with
the vigorous and aggressive" policy
which the people OF this country de.
handed last Tuesday at the hands Of the
next Democratic administration. The
death-knell of the cause OF civIl-service
reform, SO called, would be sounded by
Mr.. HARRISON if under the distressing cir
cumstances which have lately and must
now surround him, he should be guilty of
such scurvy trick as he is reported TO
have IN contemplation.
Civil-service reform carries with il q civil
pension list. when the government adopts
the life tenure for its office-holders these
office-holders will, Of course, be pensioned
Just as soon as they are incapable of per-
forming the duties OF .heir offices. The
government will not make "houseless
wanderers" Of them.
Perhaps Mr.. HARRIsoN will think twice"
before he tries to degrade the service which
he affects to be anxious to reform. Let
him remember that Mr. CLEVELAND desires
TO serve his country best by serving his
party best.
