The Civil Service performances Of
the administration at Washington have
been too much for even the most
devout Mugwumps to stomach. The
Executive Committee of the National
Civil service Reform League has
unanimously passed the following
resolution.
The National Civil Service Reform
League, through its Executive Com.
mittee, expresses its earnestrenonstance
against the bestowal by the President
of high Offices of State in return for
the contribution of large campaign
funds. 1t must regard any appoint.
ment made on account CT such con
tribution asa disregard Of the1ef
conferred upon the Chief Executive,
as violation Of the profession upon
which the present administration came
into power and as an example which,
if followed, must lead to the destruct-
ion of all free institutions. The league
through this committee, declares its
opinion that appointments should not
be given to such contributors, and
profoundly regrets that the President
has departed from this rule.
The resolution was passed at the
instance of MIR. Carl Schurz, who seems
to be getting ready for another OF the
many feats OF acrobatic politics which
he has performed in the course of his
career. Aside from this, however, it
Is remarkable event that the men
who only nine months ago were hailing
the second advent of Cleveland as
political millennium have passed with
out protest one of the severest con-
formations that his administration has
yet received. Cleveland is evidently
going down hill pretty fast when the
Mugwumps feel themselves constrained
to hold him up to public scorn for hav-
ing violated his pledges and for having
performed acts which lead to the
destruction of free institutions"

THE latest reports from Washington
include rice as one of the products
which are hereafter to be admitted into
this country free of duty. The an
nouncement of this fact has created
something of surprise, as it has been
assumed that the administration would
take care of its friends in the Southern
States which grow rice. Apparently,
showever, the pressure for free rice has
been sufficient to force that staple upon
the non.dutiable list, and we must
concede its right to be there. If coal
iron ore, salt, lumber, ETC., are to be
free, rice, sugar and other Southern
products should be free also. Geo.
graphical lines certainly cannot affect
a "moral issue of such momentous
gravity"

administration came SO near to bankrupt
ing the government, is now very diligently
at work stopping the leak at the spigot
while that of the bunghole is going right
along all the time. Here are two in
stances that will illustrate tho attitude
of the spigot style of statesman: the
Postmaster General in glaucing over the
list of supplies purchased for post offices
his anger He was thunderstruck, SO to
speak when he saw that the U. S. gov.
eminent actually bought Irvine for the
letter carriers to use for tying up
bundles of mail. Let them buy leather
straps and use them" shouted this
apostle of spigot economy, as he dictated
an order that no more Irvine was to be
bought for their use. The next great
act of spigot economy also relates to the
letter carriers A lot of old cast off letter
carriers leather bags, which have been
from time to time forwarded to Washing
ton by postmasters who have made
acquisitions tor new ones, have been
at considerable expense patched up an3
as long as the supply holds out they will
be sent to those postmasters who make
acquisitions for new ones. The letter
carriers may feel thankful that they are
not required to buy their own bags as
well as straps.
The Democrats acknowledge that they
are afraid TO submit their tariff bill to a
Democratic caucus. Those in charge of
the bill say that it would certainly be
cut all to pieces if it went before a
caucus, and that they prefer to rely upon
the power of Mr.. Cleveland, whose ideas
the bill fully represents, to force the bill
through congress and silence the demo
cratic opposition thereto. Much de-
ponds on the character of the bill, which
will presumably be made public this
week or next, as to whether it can be
forced through congress.

ANOTHER BLUNnER.

Although the WING has always
held the opinion that an income tax
when equitably assessed, is one of
the tairest means OF raising govern
ment revenue, yet we do not see
how any impartial man can endorse
the income tax proposition as now
proposed by the Democratic men,
bers of the Ways and Means COM
mlttee at Washington.
Recognizing the fact, that the
tariff bill which the committee is
preparing will cause wholesale
reduction of customs duties, the
committee tavors the income tax
as source Of revenue to supply the
deficiency which a low tariff is
certain to cause. In the South it is
popular idea, because it is expected
to levy tribute on the prosperity of
the North, the number of Southern
men who have been frugal, enter
prising and industrious enough to
earn an income of $4,000 a year
which is the figure at which it is
proposed TO begin the grading of
the tax-being comparatively few.
We shall not be surprised if Sec
rotary Carlisle should favor a tax
which will fall lightly on that section
Of the country from which he chiefly
derives his political support and
which is logical supplement to his
own notions of tariff reform. But it
is almost incredible that Mr.. Cleve-
land, as Northern man who has
some acquaintance with Northern
opinion should listen to such
proposition, even If, in ignoring it,
he should be obliged to lay aside his
tariff policy. If he shall support it
or give countenance to it in his
forthcoming message. he will have
capped the climax of nine months of
bungling and laundering.
Now the proposition is made to
revive the income tax, not because
it is demanded by a grave emerg-
ency as was the case during the war
of the Rebellion, but becauseit will
be necessary to the establishment of
Democratic tariff policy. "Strike
at Protection, cut downsthe revenue
from imports and make up the
deficit by taxing direct every man
in this country who earns more than
$1,000 year" is. the substance of
this new scheme of finance. The
citizens who now shoulder the bur-
dens of State and municipal taxation
must be set aside as objects of Fed
eral exactions; if this is not enough,
clap on more internal taxes On our
domestic products-this is, in short,
the inevitable result of the tariff pol
icy which is toreshadowed by the
Ways and Means Committee. The
Federal power of raising revenue
has hitherto rested lightly on our
people in times of peace; henceforth
it is TO become an instrument of
oppression, if the present tariff sys-
tenn shall be overthrown.
The Cleveland administration has
shown capacity for laundering and
for disregarding public opinion such
as no administration has displayed
since the time of Johnson's stupidity
and stubborness; but it is hardly
possible that it will dare to go to the
length OF joining hands with the
South in its clamor for an income
tax for any such object as that
stated. That would be political
insanity even worse than a Larry
Neal tariff or the restoration of roy
atty at Honolulu

1t is only by being in closest
touch with the Dress Goods
market Of the world and by
kuoauns exactly what the
skilled weavers of two hemis-
pheres are producing that we
can keep this great stock OF
woven stuffs SO trimming full
of whatever is most interest
ing.
If there is an exceptional
lot of Dress Stufs anywhere
we hear OF 1.-THE chances are
ten to one that we have the

The Lincoln and Bernalille county
papers have been devoting much space
of late to shooting scrape that occurred
some two weeks ago somewhere between
Manzano and Gallinas mountains, and
in which man named John Glenn was
shot by couple of native sheep-herders.
Glenn was thought to have been fatally
wounded and the herders took flight, as
most people thought, but the New Mex
TcAN happens to know that they proceed
ed at once to give themselves up to the
proper authorities and are now at their
home in Rio Arriba county, having been
sent there on their own recognizance
after making full statement Of
the case to the authorities. The owner
of the sheep is also resident of Rio Ar
riba county, having relatives in this city,
and he left here some days ago to call
upon Sheriff Geo. Curry, of Lincoln coun-
ty, make statement relative to the shoot
ing and enlist Sheriff Curry's aid IN re-
covering his sheep, 700 in number. Glenn,
the wounded man, is said to be almost
recovered.
