Every new nnd then tlie Democrats
ero Jibed about thelr Jack or fidelity te
tbe causoef civil eervlce reform, because
they de net manifest any fondness for
the Pendleton devlce te effect thl3
branch of political reform. It Is very
'mpertant te keep clear the distinction
between the thing aimed at nnd the
means proposed te eccure It. There Is
frequently a bread difference. The re ro re
ferm of the civil eervlce, the correction
of the spoils system, the euro -of efllclal
dry ret, arc one thins ; the Pendleton
law Is qulte another; and, as Mr. Payne
has picturesquely described It, the appli
cation of the ene te the ether Is like set
ting out te clean the Aufcean stables with
a teeth brush. The whole river must be
turned in upon the accumulated filth.
The Democrats propeso civil servlce
reform, genuine and deep reaching. The
civil service Ills from which the country
suffers nre net superficial, they nre fun
damental. The disease Is In the bleed,
net en the cuticle. Seme of the ltepub
llcansand seme dainty fingered Deme
crats propeso te curt it by a system
under which a few clerks at Washing
ten, letter carriers in the larger cities,
and custom heuse cmplnita, where there
nre a great many of them, shall be
hereafter selected by eniupctitive exam
inations. The system ! ridiculous, first,
in that it makes no mtcmut of the qual
ideatiens or lack e! I'lalificatiens of
theso who are new .n most of them
selected en the old B,.oil. system ; they
are secure, better in' 'mve no chance
tocempeto with them -'few die nnd
none resign." Second; . the questions
asked and the whole system of examina
tions nre no test of litufs for the places
te be filled. Thirdly ven after ex
amination the appjin'ing power has
a chance te take .n ene of four
who shall have pjis-rl 'us nearly al
ways being enabled it- mnke cholce en
political and partis in gieunds. Fourth
ly, the system has nothing in it te rcgu
late arbitrary removals, and the
appolnteeof te-day may be summarily
turned out te-morrow. Finally, and
most forcibly, the system reaches where
It Is least needed nul leave? the itilluen
tlal bedycf federal 'ill 3 'holders te b?
selected as new and ftec te maintain and
control their party organization. In this
state, for instance, m.v when the si
called civil service law 1 1 in full opera
tleu, there Is going en a disgraceful
political struggle lei a let of federal
efllccs; nnd the control of the next
delegation te the Republican untien.il
convention is said te depend upon thi
appointees te the L'nloiitewn postelllc?
and the U. S. distiic' atterneyship in
Philadelphia. A fine system of civil i
servlce reform this ! " Turn the rascals
out." There will be no reform until you i

the present r.Ue e. Investment, am ni it

tlme have reduced the surplus te nearly
the minimum amount of reserve Tills
Is as it aheuld be uud even If the t re

from thorn, it Is a vindication of the law
that the atate moneys are Invested only
In government aaeurities, us the censtl

Avtku several year3 of bloody wan

There would unquestionably be several

Tun governor of Ithode Island shows
in his annual message an enormous In
creaeo In the divorces granted in that
state, until, as a rc3ultef the laxity of
the law nnd of its administration, the
dtverces nre nearly ten per cent, of the
marriages. It 13 also observed that
among the foreign born population,
which is se zealously excluded from the
franchls", the diverce rate Is relatively
very low , se that the obvious conclusion
is that among the natlve born popula pepula popula
tlen.who make the officials and the laws,
about ene In six believes in and exercises
the privilege of a plurality of wives.
Tills conclusion Is atrongthened by the
exhibit of the census that Ithode Island
has un excess of 10,000 female popula
tion, whereas in Utah, where the
polygamy policy is popularly supposed te
have the deepest root, there are a cer
respendingly less number of women.
Leng sine? it lias been shown that
Ithode Island did net give Its citizens a
republican form of government, in its
discrimination against naturalised
citU-iu who put their money into
government bends instead of lands
and factories ; but new additional
cause is furnished ter federal attention
te this benighted and demoralized cm
niunlty. That eminent Pharisee, Sena Sena
eor Hear, may net be expected te see the
beam in New England's eye, se busily
engaged as he is in telescoping the niote
en the Utah horizon ; but will net some
fraternal colleague bring te his notlce
the melancholy condition of the polyga
my's in Ithode Island ?

secretary of the high commissioner

figures contained in the d.spitch wre
altogether erroneous. In many instances
they were hundreds of thousands f

It is due te Mr. MacGonigle te say that
no incumbent et that cfllca evor gnve it
the elose personal attention he has doue ,
and it must be remembcred that the
duties or the mayor's office have hecome
mero exactiug than they were a few yearn
age. The fact is, our city has grown
inueh luster than the comprehonsno
powers of many of theso who are charged
with the dircotieu of its corporate affairs.
Mayer MacGonigle has net only given his
elose personal attention te the oxeoutivo
duties of the office, but he has performed
a great deal of mero clerical labor which
ought net t j be exacted of the chief mag
istrate of a eity of tlie size and iropeitanco
te which Lancaster has attained.
The mayor roviews with pardenable
pride the oventn which have marked the
pregr.ss iu our city life siucc he has filled
the executive chair ; and while he does
net claim te raouepolizo tlie credit of
tlicse progressive movementfl candor will
accord te him a full thare of the houers.
Net without faults, he will have the satis
faction et knowing that he will retlre
with the respect of all fair minded
men, irropeetivo of their partisan predl
lectiens,
It gives the New Era pleasure te be able
te commend tbe suggestions of referm
with which Mr. MacGonigle closes his let
ter, especially that relating te " the raa raa
eilly assoBments of property for city pur
poses " by which " aome of our citizens
are wronged, nay, doliberately cheatcd,
for the heuellt of othera." This language
is net a whit tee strong te describa the
situation, aud it is a subject whieli ought
te command the early and most persistent
efforts of business men of both parties.
A iiard pan Investigation of tlie subject
will nhew that these uuciiual assossments
have been made pessible aud are main,
taiued by a combination et the "rascally "
olementof both parties te scoure assessers
who cennive at tlie robbery of the many
for tlie benefit of the few. If this state of
affairs wero shown In figures as It ically
exists, we agrce with the mayor that it
would be regarded as a just cause for open
robellion en the part of the overtaxnd.

There is a geed deal or merit in the pre.
position of the Lanoaster I.NTEi.unr.Ncitn
that the " L'-v'ialature should abolish the
justices and aldermen nud establish in
their tttead courts of limited jurisdiction
In convemunt placas, te take cognizaneo
of patty civil nud erlmlnal actions," The
complaint against tbe justicen and aldoi aldei
meti is that their judgments iu elvil
cases nre almost Invariably given for the
plaintills, svhe nre in reallty their employ employ ompley
ora, ami that for the purpese of making
thoraselvcs fees, they fill our jails with
vagrauta at grrat cost te the taxpayers and
without the offeet ether of puuiBhiug or
reforming the fagrants. The latter leek
upon their two, three or teu days stay in
prison as moie of a favor than a vongcance
and loave confinement no less Inclined nnd

that vagrauU shall ba r.ent te jails, only
