Civil Service Reform took a long step for
ward in this city yesterday through the action
of Mayor Strong in placing 10 Offices on the
competitive list. The transfer affects ncafly
all the city departments, and many or the o'nces
are Of the first Importance. The aggregate
amount of the salaries attached to them IL
S31SOOO The Mayor acted on the recon-
mendation of the Civil Service Commissioners,
and in line with the requirement of the Con-
sttution that competitive examinations should
precede appointments and promotions IN all
cases where practicable. Obedience TO ms re-
uurement means the destruction OF the spolls
system in the State. and we presume that Is
what the revisers Of the Constitution and the
people who voted to ratify 1t intended.

There is no structural weakness in that part
of the Ranes law which makes an end of I'd"
free lunch. At least that is the opinion of four
Of the Judges of the Appellate Division. Pre-
siding Justice Van Brunt. however, seems TO
have had leaning toward the free lunch lie
dissentcd from the Judgment Of his colleagues,
but as he wrote no opinion his views will not
be officially known The right OF an ihdivm-
ual to give away food or other property Is not
denied by the Judges who pass on the ques-
ton. but they hold that it is legitimate to for-
bid his doing this in n liquor saloon. The frec-
lunch counter was merely bait to induce men

Ho FOR FLORIDA.
Observation-Disclosures Tours via the
PENNSYLVANIA Raflroad.

There is no doubt but that every one
has had at some time a desire to visit
Florida, the Land of Flowers" and tina
many nave been deferred from so doing
by the thought of a long and tiresome
railroad journey, great expense, and a
thousand and one other objections. These
have been overcome by the Inauguration
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
personally conducted tours to Jackson
vile. A special train of unexcelled equip
ment makes the run from New York to
Jacksonville in thirty hours; a tourist
agent and chaperon accompany each tour
to look after the comfort of passengers
While en- route; and the low rates offered
bring the tours within the means of al
most every one.
The tours. allowing two weeks stay in
Florida, will leave New York and Phila-
delphsa on February % and March 8, 1896.
The rate, including transportation, meals
en- route, and Pullman berth on special
train, is $50 from New York and $4S from
Philadelphia; proportionate rates from
other points.

WHAT DOES he WANT REDRESS FOR?

Rev. Enocn Meachem, Ph.D.. of Grace
M. E. Church, Tonnele avenue, is highly
displeased because the newspapers pub
lished so much about the recent trouble in
his church over the dismissal of Horatse
Fawkes as Superintendent. Last night the
pastor had something to say about the
Vices and Virtues of the Modern Press.
Among other things he said that news
papers exert a great power in the social
world. They have multiplied to such an
extent in the past few years that he was
simply amazed at the enterprise of their
editors.
s.Tllis church, recently had reason for
sending a communication to the editor of
one of our papers for publication. rms
communication was never published, but
in its stead sensational articles We're
published which gave a wrong impression
about matters concerning the church
which would tend to make a man be-
lieve that strife and trouble were in this
organization" The speaker referred to
the Journal
The preacher then proceeded to say that
if one read the newspapers ard saw an
article on a certain matter all that could
be learned was that something had oc-
CURED. ..That is all you can find out by
the newspapers. for the facts ARE differ

deathly hatred for reforners. Anthony
Comstock did more for wiping out vice
for the last twenty years than any other
living man, still the newspapers seem to
charge him with every crime on the cal
endar. He has caused men to be sent TO
prison for exhibiting obscene pictures and
recitations, and is still working in an
endeayor TO wipe out vice. I had .oc-
caSiOn to so to New York on a Sunday,

of a French day and / was ashamed of
the Christian men who were at the head
Of the government for allowing such a

"Reform in PhiladeIphia.

The city election in Philadelphia on
Tuesday resulted in the return of nearly
the entire Republican ticket. the head
of it securing a plurality of about 100, coo
votes. The Philadelphia Record" attri-
butes this extraordinary result almost en-
tirely to fraud in the registration and in
the count. 1t shows pretty conclusively
that in one division of the city out of
about 5000 names registered, some 5000
represented dead cats and lame dogs with
an occasional poll parrot. And all this
vote was polled.
And yet we cannot think the blame is
rightly placed in this disclosure. The
fault, after such an upturnfng of NUM-
cipal corruption as Philadelphia has just
had, is not with the gang 1.-THE Com
bine'' they call it down there. 1t is with
the people who should nave some political
virtue. but who are unfortunately de-
praved by the spirit of the Republican
party. All the papers that possess any
sense of decency complain bitterly of the
apathy with which the citizens treated
the election. The polls could not ever be
manned with honest watchers to keep the
votes of the dead cats and poll parrots
from being cast and counted.
And yet as late as one short month ago,
we have seen a Legislative Committee
bringing to light the fact that the an
nual expenditures of Philadelphia's NUM-
cipal government were increased from
s.. eS5, 207- in 1886 to 500. 124, s4S in 1894 by
the gang who own Dave Martin as
their leader and who exercise such a
dominion as Croker and Tammany Hall
never dreamt of. We nave seen how the
city was robbed in all its contracts, how
the electric light companies OF which
Martin and his heelers are all directors,
in particular, looted the treasury. We
saw that policemen seduced young wo-
men, dubbed and arrested respectable
men and women, blackmailed street
walkers and were proprietors of disor-
DERBY houses and unlicensed liquor dens.
We saw that they were upheld in these
ccursssTby Martin and his Combine
And now the Republican voters Of
Philadelphia nave given tina Combine
twelve months more of power. The fact
BATTLES all comment.
