The Stae turning out Republicans Deneves in 1 1 i and putting - in Democrats. If the organ of the Administration in New! the Star, is to be trusted York city, iMrJ. Cleve- land believes himself in tnrmnp: out "the rascals'. At any rate ihe Star has an editorial in defence of the supposed; dilatoriness of, Mr!, Cleve- land in the matter of getting rid of off ensive partisans." It says -.; - . . . ' IIP ! 1 he Administration was j inaugurated 4th of March last. We will allow it thirty days to prepare for work. From the-3dof April to the 1st of January there were 222 working days, durme which 15 JXHr fottrtH class postmasters were removed and others' rate of sixty seven a day, and, giving ten hours to the day, at the rate Off about seven an hour or a removal jand an appointment tor every nine muratesioi time.- JJie Star, thinks that the Adminis tratioh is "going-on at an excellent "and inspiring -gait.'" ' ' ' ! j j , This is doing better than was sup ' posedw But will not this be offensive . v to the organs of sentimental politics This paper believes as nuch in real,' genuine, unmistakable reform as the eentimeptal advocates believe. ; The ; difference lies just here: they believe it is immaterial not at all important who hols the offices, Bepublieanl 0 or Democrats. The Stab believes it 1 is very important to thej best inter cats of the country that honest, capa- - ble, efficient Democrats should filjLiff " of the" offices in the ianoThey ' should leave all partisanship behind : and regard public office' as a public trust.'

Here lis what he says of j the' mouuraetal fraud of the age:' ' , "I have talked with Presidents and Sen ators and Congressmen and "public 'men of all parties, and I have never yet found one of them who was smcerelv for civil service reform as it is advocated and put into prac tice now. I have had Republican Presi dents read me their messages upon this subject and laugh at the doctrines they de--' 'dared.? v.;. ;.:.;Vv'v 5 .Doubtless among the politicians there is an immense amount of hum buggery and decepti on in Jthis ques tion -of Civil Service, as m .some others. .

It will be then seen how many Democrats in Convention will vote for destroying the Democratic party in North Carolina. The Stab proposes to stand by the party through thick and thin, and it is for nominating for office no man who does not believe in Democrats only- holding office under a Demo cratic Administration. If this is not to be the future policy then why two tickets for Legislature or Congress or for any office within the gift of the people. j 1 Let the sentimental theorisers give a practical test of their sincerity by introducing resolutions in the Con ventions that will express what they say in the newspapers that it is not important which party hold office that is just as well for the State to allow Republicans to take charge as for Democrats to continue in office. Then they will hear it thunder. r ASTOUNDING GROWTH. 'j The average annual receipts of the United States Government for the first five years succeeding 1810, were iiJ,u 88,04 cj. imow tne uon- gress votes away a hundred millions like it was so many cents. The av erage annual receipts in the last five years have been $373,328,321. Said a very intelligent and excellent me chanic in this city - a worthy man with whom we often talk and always learn something to us a few days ago "There will be no more pros perity in this country until the na tional war debt; is paid." Was he far wrong in this ? He might have added "Until the officials of the people regard public economy and peasevio think that a dollar of the people's money is not really bht one cent." At the beginning of the century there were buti very feiafr colleges. Now there are 370 colleges with 65,. uuu Btuaenis ana i)U.vou.t)UU ot nro- l perty. j In 1800, there , we're 3,030 church buildings in the whole United States, with 2,651 ministers, and 364,72 communicants. (In 1880, there were 7,090 church imildings, 69,870 min isters, and 10,065,963 communicants. In 1800, the Tatio of communicants to the i r whole population was one in I fourteen; in 1880, it was one in fiTeBtt',a Teacher for February Wti xet fnc,U .LT, t.W i- nnA it ias a Portrait of our old schoolmate, Rich- TuT "iT . 7; W "UM tuat uranity is "playing ..- U I Seventy-five years ago the Chris tian, world :gav less than $1,000 to evangelize heathendom.

In oar inmost soul we believe that it is a gross violation of organic law, and is a most pesti lent and -noisome visitation. The Stab of course can staod such things if the country can stand it, but a precedent will have been set if the House 'passes the Grab Bill that will yet entail upon the land we love the most "direful and unnumbered woes,' as we fear. We say - again we have tried to do .our duty and shall have but little more, to say editorially of the Federal school teaching measure.

It is well- enough to men tion in this connection that D. Loth rop & Co., Boston, have published a finely illustrated. edition of Hayne's poems, ihe tollo wing extract from the kindly appreciative article of tbe Times, will 'be read with interest, as it gives a glimpse of the man and the poet: The writer says "In person, Hayne is of slight figure and medium height, having piercing eyes, full lips and a dark complexion. His skin is as fresh as that of a boy of sixteen. It must be the subtle alchemy of a cure genius which is the i wonderful preservative. Or is it the deep love for. the life, the constant communion with nature in the undying freshness of her youth, which seems to keep this man ever young? "Misstyle is. generally speaking, subdued ana reuective. - lie interprets nature with the clear insight of one who loves her. He has made the melancholy moanings of his Georgia pines sob through bis verses. But it would be superfluous to -enter upon a criticism ot tbe work of Hayne s genius. That can be done only by the reader, who. as Margaret J. Preston has said, 'if he can- not. of himself, find therein the aromatic freshness of tbe woods, the swaying in- cense of the cathedral-like aisles of pines. 17' oow ot jeai-uiuuen moc&ine oiras. i would not be able to discern them, how ever carefully the critic might point them out."

If you have turned any out, how dishonorable to refuse the proof of their misdeeds when called for by as, in open session j xou made many voters for Cleveland by the persistent demand of Hendricks to examine the books and count the treasure of the people.- The books have been at your disposal, but no fraud is found and not a cent of money is missing.
