The Lincoln Republican Club Of
St. Paul in a petition to congress re-
garding the civil service perversions
of Cleveland says:
I'VE disavow for a spoils system
simply, but we Insist upon the right
of every citizen in the exercise of a
reasonable and praiseworthy am bition
to aspire to any office in the gift OF
the people. We derounce as unfair,
unpatriotic and un-American the
Cleveland plan of filling the offices
with Democrats and then, in order
that Incompetent and unfit partizans
may be retained, throwing round then
the pretentious sham and mockery o.

THE Loud bill, intended to restrict
the amount of second class matter to
be admitted to the mails, should not
pass unless greatly modified. For
example, the provision to cut off alto
gether the privilege Of mailing sample
copies will work a great hardship to
many newspapers. This privilege is
auseful one and is now restricted by
law. The curtailment Of postal privi-
leges is the last thing which we would
favor Even small deficiency in pos

people less accessible to newspapers

who is pioneer of Utah and who owns
