The article on our first page entitled
"Eutopia," is rather lengthy for a
nowspnper, but will be found of
exceptional interest to the thoughtful
reader hence we give place to it
It shows how the visions of great
minds" of one century become the
realities of succeeding ones.
' Mr. Tilden will attend the inaugur
ation of President Cleveland, and it
is believed that be will have much to
to do with giving shape to the policy
pf the new administration. A better
or safer adviser could not be found.
By the way, if his health will permit
ought he not to have the refusal of
the best place in Cleveland's cabinet t
"Ob, burj ipe not in the deep, deep sea t"
This sentiment, so affecting and
natural, ascribed fo a Juir girl who
lay dying on shipboard, was not shared
in by the late Oon. Brewstor,of Austin.
It seems he had all his life cherished
the idea of having his remains after
death cast into the briny deep,and by
favor of his family and Qov. Ireland,
who sent a vessel for that service, his
wish was gratified, and his body rests
deep beneath the stormy waters of the
jQulf. An undeniably cranky idea.
An admiring friend sent Cleveland
A Newfoundland dog as a present
and a token of friendship which the
gouernor refused. In his letter renin
jng to accept the animal, the governor
says. "The acceptance of preHents
pf value, which could involve an
obligation, I should deem in my pros
ent condition entirely inadmissible
and I confess I should fuel bettor if
all git of every description were
discontinued."
Whot a contrast with "Old Grant

one of his specialties.
Anent the rush for office before
President-elect Cleveland, tho follow
ing incident of Mr. Lincoln's first
administration is recorded : "The
invasion of Washington by office
seekers after the inauguration of the
Republican administration was won
derful, and the mail brought petitions
from thousands of place hunters who
could not urge their claims in person.
At the Postofllce department alone,
over 16,000 applications for appoint
ment had been plncod on filo before
the lost of March. The most dis
appointed place hunters who came
to Washington were the little town

fancied that the whold world, includ

that but for each of them the Republi

One village in Pennsylvania sent two
rival shop keepers, each of whom
wanted to be postmnster. Ono based
his claim on the fact that ho had
presented a set of torch-lamps to the
village corps of Wide Awakes, while
the othar demanded the appointment
because he hod supplied the oil. The
question was the relative valuo of the
torch-lamps without tho coal oil, or
the coal oil without the torch-lamps.

President Cleveland's reply is as
follows :
Albany, December 25, 1884.
Hon. Goo. William Curtis, President,
&.O.:
Dear Sin Your communication
dated December 20, addressed to me
on behalf of the National Civil Servica
Reform League, has been received.
That practical reform in the Civ.'l
service is demanded is abundantly
established by the fact that the
statute referred to has boon in Con
gress with the aflsont of both politi
cal parties ; and by the further fact
that a sontiiiient is generally preval
ent among patriotic people culling for
a fair and honest enforcement ot the
law which has thus been enacted.
I regard myself pledged to this,
because my conception of true Demo
cratic faith and public duty requires
that this and all other statutes should
be, in good faith and without evasion,
enforced, and because in many utter
ances made prior to my election as
President approved by the party to
which I belong, and which I have no
disposition to disclaim, I have in
effoct promised the people that this
should be done.
I am not unmindful of the fact to
which you refer that many of our
citizens fear that the recent party
change in the National Executive
may demonstrate. that tho abuses
which have grown up in tho Civil
Service are ineradicable. 1 know
thoy are deeply rootod, and that tho
spoils system has boon supposed to
be intimately related to success in
tho maintenance of party organiza
tion, and I am not sure that all those
who profess to be friends of this re
form will stand firmly among its
advocates when they find it obstruct
ing their way to patronage and place.
But fully appreciating the trust com
mitted to my charge, no such con
sideration shall cause a relaxation on
my part of earnest effort to enforce
this law.
There is a class of Governmont
positions which are not within the
lotter of tho Civil Service statute, but
which are so disconnected with the
policy of an Administration that a
removal therefrom of tho present in
cumbents, in my opinion, should not
be made during tho terms for which
they are uppoiuted solely on partisan
grounds, and for the purpose of put
ting in their places those who are in
political accord with the Administra
tive power.
But many now holding such posi
tions have forfeited all just claim to
a retention, becauao they have used
their places for party purposes iu dis
regard of thoir duty to the people,
aud because, instead of being decent
public servants, they have proved
themselves offensive partisans and
unscrupulous manipulators of the
local party management
The lessons of the past should be
nnlearnod, and such officials,-ns well
as their successors, should be taught
that efficiency, fitness and devotion
to public duty are the conditions of
their continuance in public place,
and that a quiet and unobtrusive
exercise of individual political rights
is the reasonablo measure of their
political service.
If I were addressing none but
party friends I xhonlddcfiu it entirely
proper to remind them that though
the coining administration is to be
Democratic, a duo regard for the
people's interest does not permit
faithful party work to bo alwaya r-
wardt-d by appointment to office, and
to aay to them that while IV'inocrats
may expect all proper consideration,
elections for office not embraced
within the Civil Service rule will be
bam.il njoa sufficient inquiry aa to
titru-fc, instituted by thiwa rhArged
iih that duty, rathr than H-r-Kihtcnt
importunity or M-lf-solioU-d
recjiumondation on behalf of the
candidates for appointment.

Letter.
Wakhineton. Doeeembor20. Hon
Dorman B. Eaton, president of the
civil-errice conimiHion, was to-iriy
aaked by a representative of tho As
sociated Preaa for his viowa in re
gard to Qor. Cleveland ' letter, pub
lished this morning. Eaton express
ed himself aa follows: "It would bo
unpardonable presumption in inq to
assume to speak for Gov. Cleveland,
but I may speuk freely for myself.
I regard the Jotter as tho doliberuto,
significant and tiuioly utterance of a
man who comprehends tho situation,
aud has the courage of his convio
tions of his duties. It ia a platform
on the subject to whicji it relates.
The views of the letter are thoso com
mon to true statesmen of both parties.
These views are those most rapidly
growing in the hoarts of the people
The policy disclosed in tho letter is
thatby which alone his party can retain
fower, or tito country escape decay,
t shows plainly thit we are to have
no mixed cabinet and no time serving
or compromising policy, but strong,
positive and honest courage and an
absolutely democratic administration
It will bo one in broad contrast to
the last doiuocratia administration,
which was weak, evasive and scorn
ful of noble and growing sentiments.
I may do injustice to my political op
ponents, but I must think muny of
them have been hoping that Gov.
Cleveland would be found ready to
break his pledges and trine with his
convictions. This letter ought to
dispel all such illusions, and is there
fore timely. The place-hunters of
his party may give him much trouble,
and, perhaps, may bring their party
near ruin by their greed for office.
Tho democratic party now stands
whero it did when Buchanan was
elected, where two roads separate, one
leading to honor and victory and the
other to shame and defeat Its fate
dopends npon a choice of roads and
leaders. If I cared more for my
Iiarty than for my country, I should
lope that the greed and clamor for
placos and spoils would break
through the civil service law and en
gulf tho new president with all the
statesmen of his party. Tho declara
tion in the letter "that the lessons of
the past should be unlearned," may
well be pardoned by republicans as
well as Democrats. It is just ten
years since Presidont Grant through
a special mcssago, asked the repub
licans in Congress to make a small
appropriation for the enforcement of
the civil service rules which the re
publican party was solemnly pledg
ed to. Unfortunately there was then
no statenman in congress who could
seo that a new cause with elements of
potency in the futare. was beginning
in the hearts of the people. In the
eyes of republican leaders, the early
friends of this cauwe were "en
thusiasts', and 'doctrinaires,' at whom
partisan journals especially delighted
to sneer. ISO member in either house
cared to even call for tho ayes and
noes on the appropriation. Amid
jeers and laughter, civil servico re
form in the opinions of tho loaders
of its enemies, was consigned to the
tomb of tho Capulcts. About that
time tho republican party entered
upon a slow decline. Jobbery and
patronage mongering more and more
more nourished. At that time,
too, began A deliberate method, and
soon afterward was carried forward,
through many affiliated organizations,
that broad appeal to the virtuo and
wisdom of tho country, which two
years ago convinced a republican
congress that tho growing reform
sentiment must bo heeded."
Reading Aloud.
A very pleasant habit for home life
is that of reading aloud seme ploas
unt book in the evenings, and if the
selection of the book is wise, it cer
tainly makes the homo circle very
attractive, and lightens the drudgery
of the mother, who often sits after
tea with her basket of stockings to
bo darned, and who has a dreary time
if each member of tho family, who
does not go out, takes his or her
paper or book as I have often seen,
and subsides into their own interests,
leaving her to her own meditations.
A book read aloud at home guts a
charm, apart from itself sometimes ;
its very namo will conjure up in our
memories iu the far past the pleas
ant family circle, then perhaps, un
broken ; the cheerful fireside, and
frequently, too, the comments upon
what is being read, which add to the
interest and give a newer insight
The same association applies to a
piece of work which is in operation
while any book is being read. South
