HE sPOILs SYSTEM.

Granting that even = small part OF
the stories Of Encouragement and
incapacity at Chickamaugs and some
other Of the military hospitals is true,
we have in that part most formida-
BILE argument in favor OF civil service
reform. IL the stories be true that
the sensational papers are telling,
then the fault lies in the fact that in
competent men have been appointed
to the medical, commisssry and
quartermsster departments. In sup
port of the above theory comes the
fact that in the regular army there
WAS much less sickness and the men
were generally better cared for. The
statement made by Secretary Alger
that il things were wrong it was be-
cause Of incompetent officials whose
duty it was to execute orders, and
not tie fault Of the war department,
is a statement that is strictly true and
shows that Alger realizes the cause OF
the alleged mismanagement.
There has been no complaint from
the navy. That department is Of
scered solely by experienced men and
no man in the whole service owes his
selection or advancement to political
preferences.
The spoils system in the army op.
crates as the spoils system does any
where else, only vastly worse. When
appointments are made solely for POI
litical reasons, when campaign debts
or pledges are paid at the expense Of
the national government, the pres
encs OF incompetent men is unable
to be avoided.
Furthermore il is a fact that the
evil effects Of the spoils system upon
the party benefting apparently there

BISMARCK'S CHARACTER.
His Qualities as an Individual and as .
Statesman.

What shall we conclude as to Bis
marck himself, asks William Roscoe
Thayer in the September Atlantic.
The magnitude Of his work 10 man
can dispute. In type, Bismarck be
longs with the Charlemagnes, the
Cromwells, the Napoleons; but, I'M
Ike them, he wrought TO found no
kingdom fnr himself; from first "
last he was content to be the servant
OF the monarch whom he ruled. As
statesman he possessed in equal mix
ture the qualities Of lion and Of fox,
which Machiavelli long ago declared
indispensable 10 a prince He had no
scruples. What benefited Prussia and
his king was to him moral, lawful,
desirable; to them he was inhexibly
loyal; forthem he would suffer popu-
lar odium or incur personal danger
But whoever opposed them was to
him an enemy TO be overcome by per-
suasion, craft or force. ] discern in
his conduct toward enemies no more
regard for morality than in that Of
a Mohawk sachem toward his Huron
foe. lie might spare them, but from
motives Of policy; he might prosecute
them, not to crafty thirst for cruel
ty, but because he deemed persecution
the proper instrument in that case.
His justification would be that ID
was right that Prussia and Germany
should hold the first rank in Europe.
The world, az he cav Il, was field
in which nations maintain a pitiless
struggle for existence, and thestrong-
est survive; TO make his nation the
strongest was, he conceived, his high
est duty, An army Of puny-bodied
saints might be beautiful TO a pious
Imagination, but they would fare i'll
in an actual conflict with Pomeraninn
grenadiers.
Dynamic, therefore, and not NOR
al, were Bismarck's ideals and his
methods. Bismarck saw both a def
Unite goal and the road that led TO
It. He held that by blood and iron
empires are welded, and that this
stern means causes in the end less
suffering than the indccisive compro-
misses Of the sentimentalists. Better,

ed by the hundredth man who knows
than for them to be left a prey to

CRAZE OF PSEUDO SCIENCE
The Present Remarkable Revival OF
Medieval Superstition.

From some strange reason, there
has been a wonderful revival within
the last decade Of nearly every me
dieyal superstition, under various
guiscs, in the most enlightened cen.
tiers Of the world. The practitioner.
Of this modern sorceTy, instead of con.
cealing, advertise their claims, and
urge thsm on the community under
pssudO-scientifc names aud jargons.
Palmistry, astrolOgy, sympathetic
magic, the doctrine Of signatures, hi.
ero-therapeutics, and all the farrago
of fifteenth~century thaumaturgy,
flourish to-day IN Raston and Nav
York, In Paris and Chicago, to O de.
igreesurpassing anything known three
centuries ago.
There is reason for this. Sorcery
is science seen upside down. There
is a confused groundwork Of truth,
a fallacious method Of viewing facts,
at the basis of these pseudo-sciences.
Yet the truth and the facts exist, and
these explain the success of the de.
ceptions. They dazzle and daze minds
not trained in sound reasoning; and

by the charlatan as proved basis for
his illusory edifce.
Superstitions are at core the same
everywhere and at all times, because
they are based on those desires and
that ignorance which are and will ever
be part of mans nature. He is dim,

1t is certainly to be regretted thai
the business men Of this city cannot
see 30 plain a situation as that the
abandonment of the fair will be a
detriment to Paducah. 1t is eer-
tsiuly not a credit to city Of nearly

abroad that its business men have
not enterprise enough to hold an an

propriatinp $500 Of the city's money,
or the peoples money, to remedy a
defect, which IL seems does not to ex'
list. The board no doubt did what il
thought was right, but it failed to
procure sufficient evidence to determ-
inc what was right. Its action IT.
Elected on the ability Of The architect,
and he came here to clear himself.
His reputation cannot be affected so
far as men who know him are con-
cerned, but it was an Unjust which
might injure his business in other
channels, ami he came here like a
man and offered to show the board
that he was right, and that it was
wrong, even tho the board was
backed by the unrivslled sagacity Of
its superintendent of construction.
Even though it we're admitted that
the foundation was cracked, Mr.
Davis could have shown that neither
tue superintendent nor the architect
was responsible. The work was
done properly according to the judy
ment of the board, when it received
and paid for it, and if 1t was not
right in reality, then the board is to
blame, and ought TO shoulder, instead
OF shifting, the consequences of its
own actions. 1t is due the people as
well as Mr.. Davis that the blame be
attached to the proper ones.
The public will never be satisfied
with the sbortivs manner in which
the affair was settled last night. II
Mr.. Ksttsrjohn made 4 mistake in
saying the foundation was cracked,
and the board made q mistake in
taking his word for it to the tune Of
a few hundred dollars, it ought to
sdmit 1t, and act like men Of honor
aud intelligence, and hasten TO rec
tify it instead of covering it up. II
in the right the board certainly could
not have objected to the introduction
OF all the expert testimony that could
be found 10 Kentucky or elsewhere.
II there is nothing the matter with
the building, as was offered to he
proved to the board last night, It is
nothing but hardship on the people
to make them needlessly pay 1857
dollars for repairs. In addition TO
the unnecessary cost, the tearing
away of the foundation, no matter if
it we're an honest mistake of the
board in ordering it, will endanger
the stability Of the building, and
perhaps render it useless in few
years. The action Of the board last
night looks to the disinterested Oh
server as if it realized 1t had made a
serious mistake, but had not the
courage to face an investigation. lu
such cases, involving the public wei
fare, as well as the expenditure Of
the public's money, men of public
positions ought to chew to the line,

STRANGE ACTION.

The board of education, by its &C.
ton Of last night, completed its Sc
ries Of spectacular and costly blum
ders, in refusing to allow Architect
b. b. DAVIS to vindicste himself be-
fore the people. The board should
60 on record - the most prejudiced
and reckless that ever sat in Padu-
cab. 1t may have meant well, but
it certainly has not done well and
the people can say what the little boy
said when he was kicked by the mule,
for it don't make much difference
what the motives of the board are,
the results are just as costly in any
event.
Mr.. Davis has been injured by the
previous action Of the board, and the
latter could have vindicstcd him last
night-but it didn't. Mr.. Terrell
made some very sensible remarks,
but he did not once claim that the
board had not made a serious and
costly mistake in acting on what may
be incompetent testimony in regard
to alleged defects in the school
building. 1t Is conceded that the
board has done all along what it
thought was right, and for the best
Interests Of the people, but it is
equally as generally believed that
the board has many times failed to
use ordinary business prudence, and
that none Of the board would have
handled their private business as the
board has managed the peoples bus
mess.
In regard to the new building, it
is the general opinion that the board
was foolish ever to decide on the
erection Of building that could not
be paid for with no delay even had
the cost been according to The first
estimate. The construction Of the
foundation at the cost OF s1l 900,
and allowing 1t to stand whole year
without any protection from the ele-
ments, was another action that was
foolish in the extreme. The money
should have been arranged for and
the building put up at once, and not
in sections year or more apart.
The board has also authorized
changes, Of small import, it is true,
which it has forgotten in its unworthy
effort to attach blame to an innocent
man. The action of the board in APP
pointing as superintendent Of con-
struciion an unsuccessful bidder on
both differentiation and the building,
and q contractor instead Of an archi-
tect, IS the strangsst Of all the board
actions and shows that the board has
not even an ordinary idea Of the fit
ness of things. Not mao on the
board would have done such an IN
heard OF thing we're he erecting a i
building. Had an architect been Sc
lected the present muddle, which has
gained for the board great deal of
notoriety, and entailed an
extra expense of 1857 on the tax
payers, would have been avoided.
As to the alleged crack IN the
which has occasioned all
the controversy, it may exist, or it
may not. Judging from the prepon-
derance OF expert testimony, it does
not exist, and Architect Davis has
afiidavits from civil engineers whose
ability cannot be questioned, that il
does not. That there is apparently
a crack cannot be denied. The
board took the evidence Of commit
tee, however, the members Of which
dc not know anything about practi-
cal building, and acted upon it.
Their mistake was In fptlina properly |
to invettisate the matter before APP
