A CIVIL SERVICE REFORM OPPOR
TUNITY.
That the public sentiment has under
gone a most encouraging change in regard
t a th* reform of the civil service, in the
past two years, is patont to the most casual
■observer. What was bat a forlorn hope
■when the Civil Service Reform Association
was organized, is now a legion, and saving
and excepting the machine politicians and
boi>se« , may be said '- to embrace a ma
jority of all the people. The reform
has takea Bhapa in a Congressional
act and the appointment of a com
mission, and both tho great parties
are, pledged to its support. Even the po
litical hack 1 ! have given in unwilling ad
herence to the new system, but arc secretly
its enemies, and will do, as they are doing,
all they dare to bring the experiment into
disrepute. Here ia Sacramento to-day
there presents an opportunity for the test
of sincerity in this matter on the part of
the Washington authorities. There is
reason to believe public expectation will
be realized and the principles of the
reform applied. This journal would
not be true to its constant course in
this matter were.it to fail to declare that
the vac inc. in the office of Postmaster of
■ Sacramento should be filled by the appoint
ment of John H. L9wis. For about twenty
- two I years he has been an attache
of the office, and f >r the last seventeen
yean chief Assistant Postmaster, and dur
ing the greater portion of that time the
Teal Postmaster. In short, the subordinate
has, at a mesgir salary, been the working
'hand of the officials at the higher. The
late incumbent, a prominent and respected
citizen, now deceased, himself recognized
- the fact, acd is known to have been the
■ advocate for the promotion of his assistant,
in whose favor he was about to (esign, and
whose knowledge and experience have been
relied upon for over twenty years, and
whose activity, honesty, fidelity and un
questioned ability earned for him long
since the right to promotion. What does
civil service reform mean and promise?
It means the application to j the Govern
ment service of the Mine rules that obtain
in well-regulated private - business. It
promises death to the plunder system : it
guarantees the effective performance of
public work. The " spoils" practice, on the
other hand, means paralysis for honest
ambition in the civil service, for it places
the subordinate forever at the mercy of
caprice. 'It holds out no incentive to the
subordinate to mike a career ; it means
that he is forever to remain a drudge : it
means that he is to be the slave of polit'
ical ch»nca &nd ' official whim. . The ten
dency of this country is all toward making
the Government service national service,
for the people hi va arrived at last at a
realization of . the truth that the " spoils '*•
system gives no promise for the reform of
abases, affords no guarantee of effectiveness
of service ; considers never that good be
havior has any relation to tenure in office,
and adds nothing whatever, like the pros
pect and hope of promotion, to the strength
of Government service."'.' The people know
now that the " spoils " advocates ' regard
the civil service as a medium for drafts
upon v the :. public purs 3 .in reward for
support . given ' . "Cangretsmen. . Whit
business . in an \u\ there in . the community
• bat recognizes the fact , that the removal of .
trusted, long-serving, competent servants
in the various governmental- departments
'. is an injury to the public service ?: . What
man is there r but knows that the removal
of theee men is liable upon every turn of '
the political wheel, unless the principles of
civil service reform are applied ? We hold
that in all such cases as that now so prom
inently before this commucity, the subordi
nate who has been faithful, honest, effi
cient, and haa proven his fitness for the
place, should be the preferred candidate,
for while capacity and honesty should
ever be the measure of fitness for all ciadi
date», all things being equal, the subordi
nate in the line of promotion should have
the preference. But without the applica
tion of the principles of civil service re
form, we have no line of promotion ; with
out a line of promotion we can have no
ambition ; without ambition we cannot be
guaranteed service ; while the
veriest dullard will realize that without
the hope of preferment the best men
cannot be retained in the public service,
which should hold out hopes of advance
ment somewhat approaching to equal
ity with those that offer in the private
walks of life. Civil service reform
is now beginning in the United States. It
is no longer the butt of the bosses, and
the sneers of the machine men are con
cealed when it is the topic. True, it is as
yet an infant. It may be strangled in its
cradle, and it assuredly will be if the peo
ple do not nourish and protect it. We
have faith that they will do so, for its
principles are right principles, and the
right must survive. As stated in the out
set, a healthy growth of public sentiment
in this matter has eet in, and it behooves
every good citizen to encourage and stimu
late it, by voice and performance. The
growth of a nation is through intermediate
Btages of progress in the approach to the
highest plane of political existence on
which perfection alone is possible, and
whether that can ever be attained or not,
tbe incentive to strive for it remains. One
of these Etagea is civil service reform ;
upon that we have just entered. If we
tnrn back new future efforts to advance
must be herculean, if indeed they will be
at all possible. We believe it is the voice
of the mass of this community, 'as it is
certainly the natural order ;n civil service
reform, that the vacant Postma9tership at
Sacramento should be filled by the ad
vancement of the Assistant
BARTHOLDI'S STATUE.
Patriotic citizens of France, who hold
the American Republic in high esteem,
made an offer to the city of New York of
a great statue of Liberty, the work of
Birtholdi. It was accepted, and the con
struction of the colossal figure to tower
two hundred and twenty feet aloft in New
York harbor began. Isat when the work
had progressed some three years it was dis.
covered that the people of New York were
exceedingly sluggish in raising the neces
sary money to plant the foundations on
Bedloe's Island. The news of the failure
to raise the funds, when 'received in France,
greatly chagrined the generous donors of
the superb statue. Thereupon it was
quietly given out that some other American
city might avail of the costly gift, and
both Boston and Philadelphia manifested a
disposition to take it. This spurred the
laggard New Yorkers up, and §100,000
speedily came into the hands of the local
committee. This gives assurance that the
remaining §100,000 will be raised, and next
Wednesday General Stone, late of the
Egyptian army, and once a resident of
California, will break ground for the
foundations, he being the engineer in
charge. An amusing incident in this con
nection was the offer of the people of Ari
zona, through A. C. Houston, of Caea
Grande, to raise the money far the pedestal
if New York failed to do so. The Amer
ican metropolis after this must look upon
this active Territory with feelings of pro
found respect.
DISAGREEING LEADERS.
Ho..' party men and organs differ.
Said Mayor Carter Harrison when ha ex
ploded his political dynamite shell at the
Iroquois Ciub dinner, "Make free trade
or your tariff for revenue a plank in your
next resolutions and you will split the
Democratic party. You do not win from
the Republican party one single one of its
adherents." Said the San Francisco Exam
iner of Saturday, " A level-headed tariff
man goea in for revenue only." Says Mr.
Watterson for the Democracy of Ken
tucky, "Refuse us a free trade plank in
the platform and the South is lost." Says
Mr. Randall for Pennsylvania, " The
struggling industries of the country must
be protected." Says the New York Sun,
" Abandon all tariff plank a ; it is not to
be made a national issue in , a Presidential
campaign with safety to the Democratic
party." Says the Nashville American,
" The Democracy of Tennessee want no
free trade plank forced upon tbem." All
these men and papers are insincere. What
they desire most is the success of party.
The welfare ot the country is a secondary
consideration, and hence their " trouble "
so early in the day as to the formation of a
platform: Mr. Harrison let the party cat
out of the political bag when he exclaimed,
" When we win the Presidency we will
have time to look at a true reform in the
policy of traffic ; but don't put a free
trade plank in the platform now."
Pays a correspondent: " Whit is the difference
after all, between shooting down a man in battlo
who is your enemy, and killing- him out of battle
with dynamite, because he is your enemy The
question conveys its own" answer. Th» use of
dynamite is like stabbing in the back. It is a cow.
udly use. It is liable to injure the innocent as
well as the guilty. It mikes cowards of men.
Killing a few people among millions by explosion of
concealed torpedoes will not work political reform
in any country. It is murder, and against the
murderer every man's band should be lilted.
PoamisTiß Horrao died about 8 o'clock Friday
evening. The news reached ths business part of
the city about 9 P. M. Very Boon afterward petition!
in behalf of candidates not in the line of promotion
were drawn, and at .east one was circulated before
breaktot hour Saturday morning, and before the
dead Postmaster's body was fairly cold. This in
decent haste to satisfy the greed for office is dig ,
justing beyond the powers of expression. ; For all
such seeking-, civil service reform is the remedy.
7 us Enelish Government official?, if we are to be
lieve the news reporters, are the veriest asees, since
they permit to be published by telegraph all their
plans for the arrest and extradition of Walsh and
Sheridan. But then ihe truth is that the news
telegraphed is conjecture on that head, fcr the de
tectives of . "ngland are by no means fools. I
'"■ Tdk dynaL its conspirators were condemned

Frightful Fall or Two Miner*.
Tuscaboka, May 6th.-»A fatal accident
occurred at the NavAJo mine about S o'clock
this morning, whereby a man named S. L.
Stark lost his life, ai.U another, named Jake
Rasters, «a? seriously hurt. As near as can
be learned the men were on top and signaled
the engineer that they wished to be lowered
to the bottom of the shaft. . Both cages were
oa top at the time — one secured by a clutch
and the other free. They got on the former,
and tin engineer commenced lowering them,
at the sains time letting the empty cage down
with the brake. When a distance of 350 feet
fiom the bottom the unloaded cage got away
from the engineer and started down with ter
rible velocity. -The engineer, becoming ex
cited, endeavored to throw in the clutch, and
it is presumed that in leaving to do so he
taunt have thrown out the clutch holding the
cage on which the men were standing, or else
it accidentally slij-pad out, allowing the csira
to run down with even greater speed thin the
other, striking the bottom of the shaft with
terrible force, demolishing the cage and fa
tally injuring Stirk, who lived only four
hoars after the accident. The extent of Eg
gert.' juries are not fully known, but Berne
hopes are entertained of his recovery. Three
men who were working in the shaft heard the
cage coning down,* and jumped aside just in
time to «are their lives. The empty cage
caught in the chairs at the 400-foot level and
hung there.

RACES IN THE MUD.
The Dilemma In Which the Pacific Blood
Horse Association Found Itself.
The Pacific Coast Blood Horse Associa
tion found itself between the horns of a
dilemma '■ at : Oakland Saturday afternoon.
On the one hand the etiquette, and, indeed,
the rules of a lacing meeting forbid the
postponement of a ( stake < race. On the
other hand it could be seen at a glance that
the track was hoof-deep in | mud, while an
inspection of the coarse from a backboard
showed jit to Jbe soft ! and slippery all
round, with a rather ugly-looking break at
the bridge.: Some of the officers were in
favor of having the races, mud or no mud,
but the trainers and owners fought shy of
running with a chance of a fall, and the
certainty of spoiled colors and slow time.
After come bit ration it was' agreed that
Winters' chestnut filly, Callio Smart,
should walk over the track for the forfeit
money — some $700 — of the Gaco stake.
This was dose, and Mr. Winters, holding '
the money in trust, will turn it over to the
Association, to be run for by those eligible
to this same race next Wednesday. A sim
ilar course was pursued with the Spirit of
the Times • stake, for which there ■ were
twenty-eight nominations, with §25 forfeit
and $300 added, Gano doing the walk-over
in this instance, and E. J. Baldwin becom
ing the trustee.
The third race, a purse of $150, dash of
two miles, for all ages, was run. The
starters were' W. M. Murray's sorrel horse
Sam Stevenson and Theodore Winters' sor
rel mare Atalanta. The affair was con
ducted with all the gravity in the world ;
jockeys were weighed, colors were insisted
od, time was taken and rules were enforced.
The horse got the pole and the two went
sloshing off, the mare leading.: At the
lower turn, however, the horse ungallantly
went ahead, widening the distance all the
time, until, passing the stand on the first
mile, he was six lengths to the good, in
creasing it at each flounder and splashing in
on a canter, mud flying and colors daubed,
in the astonishing time cf 4:10. ■
. There being nothing left but the consola
tion purse and the hurdle race, it was then
formally announced to the bewildered spec
tators standing under ■ the shelter of the
porch that these and the two stakes would
be run for on Wednesday j next at 2p. m.
No pools were sold, no admission charged,
bat the attendance was surprisingly good,
and if the $5,000,000-rain had not come,
it would certainly have been by far the
most exciting day of the meeting. The an
nouncement was made that the Alma S'.uart
Stanley colors would be presented to George
Howeon, as the winner of last Wednesday's
three-quarters' of a mile Red. repeat race,
at the Grand Opera House by the actress
Saturday evening, and that the rheumatic
chevalier would ride in the crimson and
gold on Jim Douglas on Wednesday next.

• The Wheat Outlook.
Milwaukee, ' May G:h — W. Tallmage,
of the Milwaukee Chamber of Commerce,
who for many years made a specialty of col
lecting grain reports over the eatire country,
who prophesied within a few thousands of the
correct figures on crop matters I last year,
make* the following piognoßtications regard
ing the coming report cf the United States
Commissioner of Agriculture :
I The public are looking forward with great
interest to the coming report of the United
States Commiaeioner of Agriculture, which
will probably be issued May lOih. j Many are
expecting a vast improvement in the | May
report over April. ' I have been giving the
matter much attention, and nave tbe latest
advices from all the State Depart
ments, and from the - latest infor
mation from Kentucky, ! Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, I
look to see the forthcoming report slightly, if
any, improved over that of April, and should
not be at all surprised to see it somewhat
under the April report. Kentucky at 80,
Ohio 70, Micbig»D 93, Indiana 75, Illinois 80,
Missouri . 75, Kansas 75. The various State
Departments of Agriculture, in late reports,
in which they make May eßtimatep, place
Kentucky at 60, Ohio 55, Michigan 85, In
diana 70, Illinois 75, Missouri 70, Kansas 70.
These eight large winter wheat States show
a decrease of 8 per cent, below the Govern
ment's April report and the States' May re
port. From the' facts it hardly looks possi
ble for the Government to show much, if any,
improvement in its forthcoming report.
_ The Democratic f pllt In New York.
New York, May 6tb.— The political topic
of the day is the split between Governor
Cleveland and Tammany Hall. John Kelly
and his faction think the Governor has treat
ed Tammany unfairly in the matter of pat
ronage. The Tammany legislator?, there
fore, brought about a final adjournment,
leaving twenty-MX of the Governor's nomi
nets unconfirmed. No doubt the break with
Tammany is complete and lasting. The Al
bany Argus, the organ of the Democratic
State Committee, is cut in a double-leaded
editorial denouncing Tammany, and sound
ing the slogan of 1879. It plainly declares
that Cleveland is not going to retreat. The
more they study the situation the more the
Governor's friends are convinced that an al
liance, to last through the coming campaign,
baa been made between tha Republican ma
chic in New York 2nd Tammany Hall.

Shooting a Zebra. — I had sighted a
herd feeding and coming toward me. These
were the tir&t [ had seen so very close, and
more beautiful, sleek, well-groomed looking
animals I never saw. It eeemed almost a
pity to lay them low wi;h the bullet. The
big stallion of the troop was coming toward
me. I fired, he threw up his head, and I
missed ; and away they all went helter
skelter, clattering over the stony ground.
I jumped on the mare and galloped after
them as hard as I could go, then off again,
and as they wore disappearing I managed
to hit the stallion behind. On again, load
ing aa I galloped. After about six or seven
minutes sighted them again. The stallion
by this time was in the rear and bleed
ing. He looked as if he were going to give
in. However, after pressing him a little
time, I got close up to him, and then at
that moment a mare darted out from the
herd and tried to make him return ; but
the pace was too good and he left, and
gradually edged away from the troop. We
were now going as hard as ever we conld.
I got close up to him, and placing the gun
between the ears of my mare lired. He
staggered ; I fired agaiD, and he
rolled over and turned a complete somer
sault, landing on his back, all bis four legs
quivering in the air. The mare had to
atop suddenly short and throw herself
back en her haunches, or she would have
been on the top of him. It was a most ex
citing gallop. The animal was quite dead.

' Wildernesses of Canary Birds. —The
recent annual repoit of the HiMcahcim

an allusion to a branch of trade no longer
uncommon within the sphere of its action.
The firm of C. Reiche, in Aifeld, dealers
in animals, originally raising and selling
canary birds only, but of late years a rival
of the great Hamburg house of Hagenbeck,
appended a detailed statement of sales of
wild beasts, juminants, derma and

which were resold to foreign countries, was
a 'remarkable one. Tbe firm bought in

of 6G,900 birds, of which 43,200 were sent

Old Age —The brain in old per»on», a
the age of 70, diminishes both in balk anc
density, and thna becomes lighter. Its ca
pacity for continuous hard work is thereby
lessened as really as is that of the body to:
muscular labor. As an old man, however
has the accumulated knowledge, skill anc
practical experience of almost % lifetime
and that wonderful facility which comei
of habit, he may, with good health anc
care, do much of his best work in th<
neighborhood, say, of SO. He cannot beai
mental strain, and he must not attempl
mental "spurts," but he can still chow
himself a " workman that needeth not tc
be ashamed." Since, however, the brain ii
not firmly supported by the skull, and is
lighter in texture, the blood vessels are
more easily dilated or ruptured. The dangei
of paralysis and apoplexy is still further
increased, because the blood vessels become
in old age more or less O6tined aad brittle,
and thus unable to sustain a sudden rush
of blood. Tne aged should carefully abstain
from every form of violent action, and in
deed, from every violent emotion. The full
term of toil, whether in rearing or sup
porting children, or in the service of the
public, earns a right to what is the normal
physiological condition of age — freedom
from all that annoys, perplexes, harasses,
excites and burdens.— [Youth's Companion,
