A PLEASANT TRIP.
Speaking OF the trip. Mr.. Brauer said
yesterday:

pnsh, and I expect that IN a few weeks
the much desired order releasing West
ern North Carolina from quarantine viii
be issued. This action will be very bene-
fetal 10 the cattle interests OF Rich

also. We were very handsomely treated

1t was 10 be expected that President
Cleyeand's act in extending the protec-
;ion Of the civil-scrvice law to so many
additional offices would be anything but
agreeable 10 the Republicans. and the
howl they have raised in consequence of
St surprises no one. They look upon ii as
settled that they are going to elect the
next President. whereas If the Demo
cratic party adopts a soundmoney plat
form and dominates upon it man who
really represents the manhood and the
morality of the nation, they have no more
chance, in our opinion, 10 elect their can
didate than they have to turn good citi-
gems anxious TO see all the people Of the
United States governed by one law that
applies TO rich and poor, high and low
nike.
But the Presidents order adds 10000 Off
GERS in the Federal employment to the
civil-servioe list, thus placing that many
more offices out of the reach OF the lpoils-
man and deprivng him to that very great
extent OF the opportunity 10 corrupt the
public service, and this OF course, ag-
gravates Republicans. The present or
der of Mr. Cleveland makes an immense
step forward in securing the Government
The permanent service Of capable men.
Under the Pendleton act, as first applied
by President Arthur. only l5.O00 Offices
were protected. Then, by one stage and
another, it was made to apply TO IS. 1856
and now by one hound Mr. Clovol,,a
Raises it to S5.1S5. This leave2 something
Surther TO be done, but it is such an i'm
mense advance on what once was that
people who are striving for good govern
ment feel that they may now draw q
long breath and wait confidently for
everything else to come. We are a firm
believer in the principle OF civil service.
and we look confidently for the law 10
bring great results to the country.

MIR. OWENs DENIES THEM.
Says the Rumors About Mr.. Lorraiue's
Lease Are Untrue.

Secretary w. G.. owens, OF the virginia
Agricultural and Mechanical Society, con-
tradicts fatty the report circulated TO
the effect that apparent hardness OF the
Executive Committee in sealing their pond
with Mr. II. l.. Lorraine, who has leased
the observation-disclosures, is due to the lact
that another and more advantageous Of
fer has been made for the lease OF the
property.
The delay on the part OF the Agricul-
tural-Society people, said he, has Deeh
unavoidable. They have never Tor an
instant disputed the validity OF Nj. Lor-
raine's lease. nor did they make the con-
tract until the matter had received full
and mature elaboration. Naturally, they
resent in measure the implied charge
that they are endeayoring TO deprive the
lessees OF their lease or TO reduce the
privileges carried by the contract.
Mr.. Lorraine's construction OF the com
mittee's conduct in the matter Is erfone-
Gus. the secretary says. Mr.. Lorraine
states that no objection was raised 10 any
item OF his contract until he applied LOT
n strect-car charter. This is another
mistake on the lessee's part Mr.. owens
declares. As matter OF fact, no oHer
has been made for the grounds since
April 10th. when Mr.. Lorraine's bid was
filed.

pectus of the thirty-fourth annual STATE
Fair, to be held at the grounds October
