Tho now county oflicials liavo nil
been aworn in, and liavo taken posses
lion of their respective positions. If
caoh one shall dovota his time and atten
tion strictly to thu performance of tho
duties of his own particular ollice, and
lcavo to the peoplo tho privilege of
saying who shall (111 other places as
fast as vacancies occur, they will find
that such a course will ho far more con
ducive to n ro-clt'Ction than the dicta
torship system. 'There is no longer
such a thing as tho old court house
ring. How long will it ho before
there is a now court house ring) If
observation and tho experience of tho
past shall not prove sufficient to liavo
taught a lcs?on worth remembering,
the very first man who attempts to as
sumo the role of a political boss should
bo sacrificed on tho altar of popular
indignation, at tho very fir!, oppor
tunity. No chargo for this advice.

YOUNG MEN IN POLITICS.
Many good solid chunks of common
senso wero presented by tho lectin ers
at the County lnstituto last week-, anu
moit of tho advice thcro given is
worthy to be c.irefully stowed away in
tho storo house of tho mind for future
uso. There was ono thing said, how
ever, bv ono of the eminent gentlemen
with which wo cannot agree literally.
Ho advised young men to keep out of
politics, and pictured tho unhappiness
of tho defeated candidate vividly and
with force. If wo understood tho
SDeaker correctlv. he confounded tho
politician with tho oillce-seeker. This
is a natural error for any ono to fall
into, becatiso it has como to he gener-
ally recognized that no man goes into
- . r 1.!.. ..artn
pontics except ui ma uwu hipuhh
cam. Tho ward workers anu the wiro
pullers are for self first and party after
wards, but thev must necessarily at
tach themselves to ono or tho other of
the great political organizations in or
dor to accomplish their desired ends.
A politician is commonly understood
to be a man who dabbles in public af
fairs and is devoted to tho advance
ment of a particular party, becatiso it
is personally beneficial to do so, and
this is one of tho definitions given in
tho dictionaries of a politician. Hut
there is a higher and better sense in
which ono mav bo a politician. Tho true
definition of tho word is applicable to
one who is versed in the scienco of gov
ernment and the art of governing, am
in this sense, every intelligent man in
this great Kepublio should bo a poll
tician. If tho speaker meant simply
to caution voting men against oluco-
seeking, against lobbying, against wire
nulling, and against all tho wiles
and trickery ami treachery of modem
politics, then can we most heartily en
doise every word ho uttered. The
pathway of life is strewn all along with
the wrecks of young men who have
gone into politics, men who went in to
win lor themselves honor anu lainoana
position, but the snares wero too strong
for them, and they wero engulfed in
tho abyss that has ruthlessly swallowed
up'snmo of the brightest and best of
tho land. Hut as a rule llicso men
wero office-seekers ; they wero not pol
iticians in the high sense of the teim,
They did not look upon politics as tho
"science ot government ; as mat pan
of ethics which has to do with tho reg
illation and government of a nation or
state, tho pieservation ot its saiety,
peace and prosperity." They used pol
itics as a bridgo over which all must
pass to gain proferment in office, and
alas, to many of them it proved a bridge
oi sighs.
Tho science of government is one of
tho most profound of all studies. It
has to do with tho happiness of all
peoplo. Upon it depends tho prcse
vatiou of all human rights, and tho
stability of a nation depends upon tho
manner m which tins science is under
stood and applied, Ono of the great
'st weaknesses of tho United States to
day is in the fact that tho better clas
cs of citizens take eo little interest in
politics. It has grown to be a profes
sion of such a character that but lit
tie honor is connected with it, and it is
looked upon as unclean, and a calling
to bo avoided as mueh as possible by
all, except those who inako a living
out of it. If this view of it bo cor
net, tho fault is with those people who
liavo abandoned thoatlairs ot the govern
inent to men who are actuated by mer
cenarv motives rather than patriotism
Wo must not be understood as saying
that there nro no patriotic statesmen
There niu exceptions to all rules, am
tho men who give their lives up to tho
making of laws lor tho government o
tho peoplo from love ol country, nro
tho executions in the caso under dis
cussioii.
Wo believe that young men should
go Into politics in tho truo sonse. They
should maKo tncmscives iaimuur wu

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(VIIOM UPlt ltKUl'I.AIt OOUItl'.ll'OSIIKNr.)
AsnisoTov, Jan. 1, 188."i.
Tho first dav of the New Year wni
celebrated in the uunl way in Wash
ington by thousands who will never
again tako pait In the ceremony, it
was President Arthur's last reception,
and thu last reception by a president of
nit' jvcjmiimiu.1I! party, ior m lenst jour
ears. Un tlio first of January, 1880,
thcro will bo a new official and social
croncl nt tho National capital, and
tho. largo majority of those who to-
ccivo and those who call will bo peoplo
now to Washington.
lliero was lem calling than on any
previous first dav nf tho year during
the last decade. The Adonises of tho
Government offices liavo not vet been
nhlo to pay the money they bet nnd
lost on liLtinc. Tlio once exinilte
rinco Albert coat has now a dissipv
ed and fatigued appearand1, the fault
less pantalooti9 nnd perfect hat are
prnng at tho knees and rttstv and but
tered as t" tho crown, Iho wearer
has not tho heart or the stomach to
face his changed fortuuo in these ha
biliments. Washingtonlans are not
llko tho Parisians, who celebrated n
ationnl holiday with tho old tune gai
ty when the Prussians wero in two
lavs march ol tho doomed modern
"orbii terratum." The ptospect has
settled like a pall upon his spirits, nnd
is evident in a hundred signs Hut n
great many called and tho usual num
ber of ladicj kept open houso on New
Year's day.
There is talk of a gay soo'al season.
Then may be a Fort of artificial or
galvanic gaiety pervading social nnd
othcial Die. lut how can n political
party bo gay at its own funeral! Thcro
will doubtless bo the usual iitimuer ot
presidential and cabinet receptions,
and tho justices ot tho Miprcmo uourt,
and tho Army and Naval people who
aro not affected by tho vicissitudes of
arty may bo lnumorent to tho impend-
tig change, but thev are as "ono in
ten thousand and altogether lovely.''
You will I nm sure approvo of your
correspondent beginning tho New Year
with quotations lrorn bcripturo like tho
above. Tho truth is that I am pressed
for something to wiile. I liavo just
returned from making nbotit forty
New Year's calls nnd I realize that this
otter must go by tho next post.
1 havo a journalistic trieiu who last
year was smart enough to wnto his
New Year's letter on tho day before
New Year. He described tho Presi-
lent's reception in what ho thought
was a very pretty picco of word paint
ing. Ho told how Mr. Arthur receiv
ed first tho diplomatio corps in their
brilliant court regalia ; tho impressivo
entrance of tho Justices of tho Supremo
tJourt, Senators, Keprcsontatives, lien
orals, Admirals, Commodores, and tho
Irish Legation without stint. Hie
letter was posted on tho 31st of Decem
ber and it would havo answered admir
ably but for an accident. On New
Years while my friend was making
calls, oblivious to tho drudgery of the
pen, and much pleased with himself,
ho heard that tho Dean of tho Diplo
matic corps had dropped dead in the
vestibule of tho White House, and that
tho Presidential reception had been
countermanded before it had begun.
All signs point to a lively time from
now until tho fourth of March, and af
ter that tho Judgment. Uelween tho
22nd of February, tho time for tho ded
ication of tho Washington monument,
and tho inauguration, it is estimated
that tho population of Washington
will double itself. Organizations are
coming in battallions and a feature of
tho coming inauguration will bo
argo number ot military organizations
from tho south. It is estimated that
ten thousand persons will attend the
inaugural ball. Tho hall in which tho
ball is to be held is a magnificent room,
31G feet long by 110 feet broad, and is
believed to bo the second largest in tho
world. It ib surrounded by a series ol
smaller moms, all of which are con
ncoting, in which there will, bo ample
space for refreshment halls, cloak
rooms, toilet chambers, and everything
else that may bo needed. Around tho
tall is also a long lino ot iron comma
supporting the galleries, in which will
bo seats for such spectators as do not
care to join tho dancing. Theso col
inns will be entwined with the three
national colors, and between them will
probably bo placed largo vases filled
with natural ilowers. Numbers o
plants will bo placed artistically around
the room, and Hags nnd banners will bo
arranged in effectivo designs and deco
i ato tho walls. The whole vill bo
lighted by tho eleotrio light, and will
form a magnificent display, such as
has rarely been seen in this country
Decorators of oxponeuoi) will ho en

On Dec. 20 tho Executive. Commit

ulect Cleveland a letter in which ho
was asked as to his intended attitude
towards tho Civil-Servico Koform act
This letter and thu replv received in

National Civii.-Shuvici: Reform
Lf.aiiuh,
Office -1 Pinu Street,
New York, Deo. 20, 1881.
The lion. Grover Cleveland:
Sir : Wo have the honor to address
you on behalf of thu National Civil
Service Reform League, an association
composed of citizens of all parties,
whoso solo purposo Is indicated by its
name, nnd which takes no part what
ever in patty controversy.
Tho vast increase in tho number of
persons engaged in tho civil service
ami tho grave mischiefs and dangers
arising from tho general proscription
in the service which for half a century
has- followed a change of party con
trol of tho National Administration,
havo produced so profound an impres
sion upon tho public mind that tho
first effectiro steps towards reform
were taken with tho co-operation ol
both parties in tho passage of tho Re
form act of Jan. 10, 188!1.
Tho abuses which that act seeks to
correct, however, aro so strongly In
trenched in tho traditions and usagts
ot both paities that thcro is naturally
widespread anxiety lest the partj
change in tho National Executive ef
fected by thu late election should show
them to ho insuperable. Rut, believing
as wo do, that thu leformed system
cannot bo held to bo securely estab
lished until it has safely parsed thu or
deal of such n party change, and ie
calling with satisfaction and confi
dence your public exptthsionH favora
ble to reform and your official nets as
the Chief Executive of the Stato of
Now York, wo confidently commend
this cause to your patrlollu uaio in the
exercise of tho groat power with which
thu American p-oplo havo intrusted
you. Kfupculfully youis,
(5i:o. William Crura,
President, and others.

Amiaxv, Doc. 25. 1881.
Hon. (Itmyf William Ctirtli, I'reildent, ie.
Df.au Sin: Your communication,
dnted Deo. 20, addressed to'ino on be
half of tho National Civil-Servico He
form League, has been received.
That a practical leform In tho civil
Seivioe Is demanded is absolutely es
tablished by thu fact that n statute, re
ferred to in your communication, to
sccuiosuch n result, has been parsed
in Con gi ess, with tho assent of both
political parties i nnd by the ftiither
fact that a sentiment Is generally prev
alent nmong other patriolio peoplo call
lug for the fair and honest enfoiou
ment of tho law which has been thus
enacted. I regMil myself pledged lo
this becatiso my conception or tine
Democratic faith and puhlio duty re
quires that this an I all other statuus
should ho in good faith and without
vasiou enforced, mid because in many
utterances made prior lu my election
as President, approved bv the party to
which I belong and which I havo no
Imposition to disclaim, I havo in effect
promised the people that this should be
lone.
I am not unmindful of the fact to
which vim refer, that niauv of our cit
izens fear that the recent parly change
n thu national ivveeutivo may demon
strate that tho nouses which havo
grown up in tho civil service Ant ino
adioaulo. I know that thoy nro deep-
rooted, and that tho spoils svstcm
has been supposed to be intimately ie-
I at id to success in the maintenance of
party organization, and I nm not sure
that all thosu who profes lo bo the
friends of this reform will stand 'Irmly
among its advocates when they find it
obstructing their way to patronage
and place.
UiH fully appreciating tho trust com
mitted to my charge, no such consider,
ation shall causo a relaxation on my
part of an earnest effort to enforce this
aw.
Thsro is a class of Government posi
tions which aro nnt within the letter
of tho civil-servico statute, but which
aro so disconnected with tho policy of
an Administration that tho removal
therefrom of present incumbents, in my
opinion, should not bo mado during
tho terms tor which they were appoint
ed, solely on partisan grounds, and for
the purpose ot putting in their places
tlioso who nro in political accord with
tho appointing power.
IJut many now holding such posi
tions havo forfeited all just claim to re
tention, becau'o they havo used their
places for party purposes in disregard
of their duty to tho people, and because
instead of being decent puhlio servants,
they havo provod themselves offensive
partisans and unscrupulous manipula
tors of looal party management.
The lessons ot tho past should be un
learned and such officials, as well as
their successors, should bo taught that
efficiency, fitness and dovotion to puh
lio duty aro the conditions ot their
contiuuanco in public place, and that
tho quiet and unobtrusivo exercise of
individual political rights is tho reason
able measure of their party service. ,
If 1 wero addressing rono but party
friend, . I should deem it entirely
proper to remind thorn that though
tho coming Administration is to bo
Democratic, duo regard for tho peo
plo's interest dons not permit faithful
party work to bo always icwardedby
appointment to office, and to say to
them that while Democrats may ex
pect nil pioper consideration, selections
tor oliico not embraced within tho
civil-servico rules will bo based upon
sumcicnt inquiry as to fitness, institu
ted by those, charged with that duty,
rather than upon norsistent lmportu
pity or self-solicited recommendations
on behalf of candidates for appoint
ment. Yours verv truly,
Grover Cleveland.

We are going to sell a
lalf-million of gooda, mote
or less, for a good deal less
than cost.
Several reasons prompt us
besides the desire to keep
things moving at a time
when nothing but money
will move them.
We have the goods, the
room, the people ; expenses
are going on. We can
afford some loss rather than
let trade drop. The heavy
trade of the past three
months has broken some of
the stocks severely. It isn't
a loss to sell fragments of
stocks at a loss ; but we are
talking about more than
fragments ; we are going to
pick out somewhere near a
quarter of the store, and sell
it this month for what it will
bring. At the end of the
month, when another sort of
trade begins, we shall have
the money to buy the things
that then begin to be wanted,
the room to put them in,
and time and attention for
business.
We shall pick out what
ever we can best let go, of
course ; but things that be
long to the weather and time
of year : timeliest things .
movable things : January
things; things of all the year
and every year.
We do not know a fiftieth
part of the news to begin ,
with. It will have to develop
from day to day. We shall
give it as fast as we can, as
full as we can. We .shall
need to give it the fuller, be
cause of the slight we seem
to put upon things by the
very fact of letting them go
at a loss.
We take a single subject
to-day: ladies' over-garments,
not including furs.
We shall go through the
store, clear out every sort of
goods; and our method all
through will be about the
same as our method to-day.
You needn't wait fur the
news. We shall pi inf- as
fast as we can ; but i!ic
news'll be farter.
Ladies' over-garmcni.T of
all sorts, except furs, inclinl
ing those trimmed with Inr.
The list includes, perhaps-,
half the stock. The other
half remains as it was.
Plain cloth coats of various
styles and colors to be sold
for $3 ; not new or fine, sub
stantial. Beaver coats, black and
colored, trimmed with plush,
to be sold for $4 ; not new ;
fair.
Stockinet coats, $5. Plain
black and heavy.
Braided stockinet coals,
black and colored, to be sold
for $7.50 and $10; extra
ordinary for quality, ornate
in style.
Black beaver dolmans
trimmed with astrakhan, 6,
$8and!o. The same with
elaborate braided trimming,
$15 and $20. The cloth of
the $6 dolman is fine enough
to be decent. The others
are finer and prettier and
more substantial. The mean
est of them is an excellent
garment.
Tricot dolmans, black and
colored, trimmed with fur,
20 and 25. The cloth is
heavy and fine ; the colored
brown and blue and green,
are put at the lower price.
Newmarkets of many
cloths, 5 and 7. Some are
better than others ; some arc
prettier than others ; perhaps
the prettier ones are not the
best ; and possibly some of
the best may be at the lower
price.
Newmarkets, brown bea
ver, $10 ; of Berlin twill, fur
trimmed, $ 1 2 ; of black stock
inet, $15.
Seal-cloth coats, $20 to
$55. Some of the finest and
richest cloth.
Ottoman-silk dolmans
trimmed with fur, $35 ;
braided, $35 and $50. Sicil
ian dolmans trimmed with
fur, $25 and $30. Matelasse
dolmans trimmed with fur,
$40. . '
Russian circulars of Sici
lian trimmed with fur, $15,
$18 and $35.
Foreign silk wraps of a
hundred styles; long and
short; velvet, brocade,
beaded, plush; black and
colored; trimmed with fur,
feathers, chenille, etc. The
same as advertised a week
or two ago ; the same as foi
double the present prices
ever since the season begat'.
And thus the whole stock
is going to be sifted.
