INA speech by Horace Greeley 10
October, 1872, when he was conducting
his campaign as the liberal republican
aud also democratic, candidate for Presi'
dent. he made the following "home
thrust" 81 venture to say that since
the first day of May last the federal
Office holders have done more work
and devoted more attention to keeping
their places than they have to doing
their duty" But this was all before
the days of civil service reform, even
before Garfield, fearful of defeat in
1880, inquired of the republican COM
mittee at Washington as to show the
departments were doing" Certainly no
one now holding public Office under the
model civil service reformer-Roose.
yelt-would dare to be absent from
office and duty to be engaged 10 politi-
cal work. Nothing of the character
intimated by Mr.. Greeley thirty years
ago Is witnessed in Virginia, at least
not in Alexandris, for 1t is well known
that all of those holding federal offices
hereabout attend strictly to business.
Civil service reform is great, Cleve-
land its prophet and Roosevelt Its
APOSTLE.

IRE SPEECH In Boston on Saturday
night by Senator Lodge, who declared
himself for reciprocity, has caused
something Of q surprise. 1t is not long
since Senator Lodge was of another
mind. But now that he Is looked to speak
for the administration he probably
6nds it expedient to change his attl-
tude. President Roosevelt's policy Is
too we'll known to admit Of Senator
Lodge opposing reciprocity and at the
same time retaining the authority de-
rived from bis intimate relations with
the President. Senator Lodges dec
laratlon is as exploit as could be desir-
ed. He does not stop at the customary
generalization behind which politicians
take shelter, but he engages himself to
support the French sresty as the most
Important of all the Kasson treaties
and even holds out promise OF com.
mercial treaty with Cuba.

A DISPATCH from Rome says that strong
influence has been used at the Vatican,
which is represented as embodying the desire
of PIehdent Roosevelt, in favor Of the ap'
poinsment Of Archbishop Ireland, Of st. Paul
MINI, as q cardinal, but the dominant party
in the Vatican, however, prefer Archbishop
Corrigan, of New YORK, All Of which shows
that the Pope prefers churchman to politi'
clan for a cardinal and has more concern for
the welfare Of the Catholic Church in the
United States than he has interest In the re-
publican party, for which party Archbishop
Ireland has become en- active exponent.
