The decision of Judge Jackson
in the Federal Court for this State,
that deputy collectors Of internal
revenue and the gaugers, store
keepers and such like deputy Of
fcials are under the Civil Service
and cannot be removed, except for
good cause, has stirred up the
hungry seekers after the flesh pots
of Egypt in the ranks Of the Re-
publican party and the matter has
been appealed to higher authority.
Collector A. B. White, of this

decision keeps him from appoint

party workers to offices ia the reve-

he will succeed in knocking the

getting his own men into office,

THE REAL GRAND OLD PARTY.

The Independent Washington
Post pays the indomitable Democ-
racy this compliment: "Tbis has
been Democratic year, the cleo
tions of 1897 have shown that the
Democracy rebounds from the
downfall OF 1896 stronger and
moro confident and com batiYe than
ever. 1t is the Antaeus of our
day. The question is whether the
Republican party will prove to be
it's Hercules. For the present the
Democracy exhibits every quality
OF herolsm. 1t has courage, it has
the genius Of recovery and recon.
struction, it knows not the mean
ing of dismay. Defeat leaves it
without fear. 1t is 3 miracle Of
vitality, valor and OF hope"
Yes, the grand old party Of the
plain American people is not dead
or dying by long, long ways. 1t
has outlived many a mushroom
organization. 1t has seen parties
start mp, bloom, blossom, bear
their fruit and withor and die; but
the party of the people lives ever
Oh, ever young. 1t will never die
so long as popular government lives
among men.
