The St Louis Globe Democrat , a "solid"
Grant organ, uses the appearance of Mr.
Donnan B. Eaton's able history of the
English civil service as the text for a
long and bitter diatribe against civil ser
vice reform in this country, closing as
follows:
"There is really very little likeness be
tween the English civil service and our
own. Why should we, who permit the
head of our government to remain in
office only four years, appoint his subor
dinates for life? If we can stand the elec
tion of President every four years, what
have we to fear from the removal of an
occasional postmaster or collector. Our
legislators are not required to undergo a
competative examination, and neither are
they permitted to remain in office tor an
indefinite period; why then should min
isterial officers be treated differently? The
federal machine is neither so active nor
so powerful in politics as Mr. Schurz, Mr.
Curtis, Mr. Eaton and other civil service
reformers would have us believe. Its
power for mischief would be increased
rather than diminished by the adoption
of the life tenure principle. A beauroc
rucy is always dangerous to a govern
ment of the people. The divine light to
remain in office will never be recognised
by the American people so long as the re
public lasts. At heart the high and
mighty civil service reformers believe
that the people do not know enough to
govern themselves. It will take them
several centuries to convert a majority to
their w ay of thinking."
The Interior, after announcing its own
belief that the creation of man occupied
onlv "the brief time which any plain read
er would infer from reading the text,"
gives its opinion of those persons who
make a belief in evolution inconsistent
with belief in the Bible:
"Hut if any shall say to us, 'You must
maintain your present understanding: of
the text, or renounce your fait h in Christ,'
we will indignantly answer, '(let thee he
hind me, Satan. Thou savorest not the
things that be of God, hut the things that
he of man.' We have had enough of this
miserable business of staking the Gospel
of Christ on the toss of a scientillc cop
per. If any opponent of Christianity
should come to us an \ prove to us that
God occupied a million of years in shap
ing and animating the dust of the ground,
we should merely turn to him and ask,
'Well, what of it? lie has not told us how
lie did it, nor how long the time was that
lie employed.' * * * So far from
loosening the foundations of the fortress,
these theories do not even drive in the
outer line of theological pickets, and it is
a gross injustice, not to say worse, for
tne defenders of Christianity to toll these
young college students, who are under
evolutionistic instruction, that our foun
dations are suspicious and unreliable.
We do not hold our title to immortality
and to the precious truths of the gospel
by any such fee be tenure."
The Archbishop of Mechlin's detlnition
>f papal infallibility, as given in his de
enseofthe Belgian bishops against the
irge of disobedience to the Pope in the
cation controversy, is as follows :
Infallibility in not what is alleged by
editors of certain papers, the lnem
s of certain parliaments, the professors
certain universities, and sometimes
>by lawyers and soldiers. No, for the
>e is not infallible when he expresses
own ideas; but he is infallable when,
lead of the Church, he dellnes truths
itained in the depository of revelation,
scripture and tradition. The Pope is
not infalliable when he judges purely per
sonal questions; but he is so when he
judges doctrinal questions affecting faith
or morals —that is to say, revealed truth
or revealed law, the Pope being infalliable
when he rests on the testimony of God or
revelation. The Pope is not infallible
when he treats as a private doctor or
questions even of doctrine; but when he
judges by virtue of his apostolic authori
ty that a doctrine affecting revealed truth
and revealed law ought to be held by the
Universal Church."
Mr. Thomas Bayley Potter has sent to
Mr. Robert T. Lincoln, the son of Presi
dent Lincoln, a curiously bound edition
ofßurns's wroks in two volumes. On
the tly leaf Mr. Potter has written the
following:
"I intended to present these volumes to
Abraham Lincoln, President of the repub
lic of the United States, in the spring of
the year 18(r>, hut his untimely death in
terposed. It was my wish to send him a
small token of my respect and admiration
for the character and devotion to the
cause which he upheld—the cause of free
dom and popular government. I now
present the book to Robert T. Lincoln,
the worthy son of the great President, as
a mark of my esteem and regard for him
and his family, and 1 would also add as a
mark of the sincere gratituted which I
feel for the kind reception which Mrs.
Potter and I have recently met with in
the United States, and of my aspiration
for the prosperity of the Union. May it
always be one and (indivisible, maintain
ing liberty and advancing progress."
