sToMACHIC PHILOSOPHY.

That journalistic monstrosity, the
personal column" of the New York
Herald, often furnishes paragraph that
amuses one, occasionally one that sets
one to thinking. The following adj
vertisement in yesterdays issue does
both:
People eat too much and too extensively Re-
formed eaters cpn live on two cents meal, nity
terested address EATING REFORM. box III
Herald.
This advertiser is not the first to ad-
vance the proposition that humanity is
a race of gluttons and that "for the
stomach's sake" many wild extrava-
gancies of purse and digestive effort
have been committed. We have our
advocates of vegetarianism. AT every
board there are examples of the dieting
fiend, the man or woman who after clog
ging mp the fires of their assimulative
organs with clinkers OF late suppers
and gormandizing and wrestling with
the consequent horrors of indigestion
declaims against hearty meal as one
of the cardinal sins.
It is to the latter class that Eating
Reform" probably belongs. AS to what
nature to man or woman he is the field
OF speculation is wide. What his
motives are in paying sa for this "per-
sonal ad" may only be surmised. Per-
haps he is philanthropist who wishes
to acquaint his fellow men with the
details Of his scheme 10 thwart the
avaricious clearinghouse keeper in her
designs upon our pocketbooks. Per-
haps, as Is more likely to be the case, he
has dollar in sight for himself. Posi-
bly, lac expects his eight day -nourish.

The New York Sun gave the country
an elaborate outline plan OF President
Cleveland's intentions with respect to
the Offices He was going in for great
scheme OF civil service reform. and on
this basis, not on the Democratic, the
Offices were to be managed.
The World gives Headed" prominence
on it's editorial page to special dis
patch from Washington wherein it is
said that the President intends to do no
such thing, and the report about civil
service reform is malicious. "There
will be good many removals, and
every vacancy thus made will be filled
by Democrat"
This will give to Democratic bosoms
heaying sensation. AZ for the Mug.
wumps-there are none now They are
swallowed up in the Democratic party
and are tail to the Tammany kite.
The snapper on the Worlds Washington
lash has sting to it. Tho President
"authorizes tho statement that nothing
that the New York Sun says Of his in
tentions can be accurate"
Tho Sun Is a Democratic newspaper
which does not believe in the princi-
pies of tho Democratic party and de-
spises Nj. Cleveland. Ithas had much
fun with Mr.. Cleveland in its time and
may now be expected to have more.
It was q mistake for SO able a news-
paper to suppose that President Cleve-
land could rise above his party and
shut tho organization out entirely
from the pic counter.
