" The Morning Star. .-' By WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON, N. C. EVENING EDITION, j Friday, Dec. 23, 6 P. M. j - - - . , - ' r L ' - - 1 1 , '' C1V1X SERVICE IN MASSACHTJ " SETTS AND IN GENERAL. The Democratic candidate for 'Governor in Massachusetts made speeches in which he went for Civil v Service as administered. He does ; not fancy the idea of so many Re i , publicans remaining in office under a Democratic Administration. He thinks there are Republican spies in the Democratic camp. But he uses ' another figure. He says: ."They are not the political Noahs for whom the Civil Bervice ark of safety was : ; "built; they are the political sinners for " whom and because of whom the deluge of - lass November swept over the land." Without dwelling here we em- Drace tne occasion to mase one re mark. The advocates of the British system of life tenure once in office always in office are a strange folk. 'They will indulge in the most per suasive palaver as to the great merit ' of competitive examinations for clerkships and small offices, but say. inot one word as to extending these examinations to the higher and more responsible offices. With them the man who saws wood for a steamboat 1 'is to be examined thoroughly as to .qualification, while the captain and engineer are to be passed over and . their qualifications inferred to be all . right. There is another point. How is it that the advocates of the British sys- c tern in one breath declare tht it is of - io sort of importance who fills the- - offices whether RepuBlicans or Democrats and then in the next " breath try their utmost to establish the fact that the changes . made un- ' der the Democratio-ref orm Adminis-- tration have been sweeping and - wbblesale? . They will tell you that all men should have a chance to get : - office japon merit and this of course ; retains Republicans in office, if quali- fied, and lets' in others who can stand - the examining tests. But then they will point you to the factthat of 50,- 000 postmasters, collectors, land offi- cere, &c, 45,000 have been changed under Cleveland; that of 85 internal ; ' revenue collectors, all have been -' changed; that of 111 custom house - collectors, 100 have been removed - ana . otners : appointed. This gives ' them infinite satisfaction for the mo -1?;-:. ..t ' - j-.-' "-: - . . --, f: ment, when they are answering com ' ; "plaints as to dilatoriness and insuffi . - ciency . of changes, vbut they forget - that ; on; the other hand the Mug wumps -and certain Democratic ad - mlrers of the life-tenure fixture are npt so well pleased at such a display -' ' of what is called "reform.'-, - ? Are : not these amusing inconsis tehcies andcontradiotions " because Ihfey ahow to what aTredioamentrthe advocates of. the; JBritish system are reduced ? The STAii is' of tjourse w reiorjn. - ine pannars or tne democracy irom Maine to the.Clnlf .-,'3 andf from ocean to ocean frere bla; onethlhostility toRelbiicau ism and.' a demand . for a complete change,pf : officials. fhe - StjoeT car ried one of those banners. Jt waa in earnest. So it rejoices that sro many of the active ; Republican officials, who were the 'drill sergeants of :the old rotten party to which they belong ed, have been sent ad rif t, and wll be glad to know tha daily other, heads : fall into the sawdust. -Tho Stab, you see, holds that Democrats -are in all respects quite as good as Repub licans, and that they are the men to put on guard and not the .fellows who betrayed trusts and abused priv ileges. We have before us an illustration of the absurdity of the British sys tem when applied to American poli tics. Secretary Lamar has been the one great success of the Democratic Cabinet. It is now asked that his Assistant be promoted as he is "in me succession. Once in office al Do you see. The ways in office. Providence Journal expresses the view held by some Northern Dem ocratic, Mugwump, and Republican papers when it says: "The President is said to have been look ing about while on his tour for some man who would strengthen' his administration at this point It is entirely unnecessary, however, for him to go outside the present force to find a suitable candidate. Assistant Secretary Muldrow is in the line of pro motion; he is a competent man, thoroughly experienced in the work of the officer he is not a partisan, and his appointment would be in the line of genuine civil service re form. The President will make a mistake if he sets aside Mr. Muldrow's claims on the position in favor of any outside man without experience and without recom mendation of faithful service." Did either Secretary Lamar or his assistant ever stand a rigid competi tive examination? Do they come under the purview of the law? If A not, then why such nonsense ? As another happy illustration of the beauties and consistencies of Ci vil Service reform, we copy the fol lowing from an editorial in that per tinacious and most earnest advooate of the Civil Service law, the New York Times. It says: "It is reported and seems to be true that one C. V. Hooper is in Washington collect ing money from clerks in the Federal de partments for the use of the Democratic Party m this State. Bat it happens that Mr. Hooper is a clerk in the Depart ment of State at Albany, and is the Secre taro of the General Examining Board of the State Civil Service Commission. Po litical assessments in the Etate service are forbidden by law." Nice "reform" that. It is wrong to advocate the sound, common sense principle that a Democratic Administration should be adminis tered by Democratic agents, but it is right to constrain clerks to pay of their small salaries a part for State campaign purposes. Bah! ANOTHER PROPOSED TREASURY RAID. Senator Manderson is in a harry with his great grab bill. It is a scheme of plunder to get millions more out of the Treasury. It is the Dependent Pension bill so much fa vored by some of the Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic. It is almost needless to say that it is a dangerous bill and is an insult to the intelligence of enlightened legisla tors. It may pass the Senate, but it is to be hoped that it will meet its death in the House. But of that we do not feel assured. It will be slaughtered when it reaches the hand of that man who indicted the bold. masterly, unanswerable message of relief for the people. A Western paper thus describes it: 'Tnis bill, similar in manv resDects to tne service rension bill vetoed last year by rreaiaeni uieveiana, provides among other things, for pensioning that large class of invalid soldiers wnose circumstances are such that they cannot prove, satisfactorily. tnat tney are entitldd to a pension. Many cases exist wnere it -is well Known by friends that the disability of the applicant for pension was caused by the exposure of army lire, .but wnere tbe lapse of time ren ders it impossible to bring conclusive proof or tne iacts in tne case. Tne deatb of a single, man whose affidavit on a pension application nas been demanded, has been known to defeat the issuing of the order to place the applicant's name upon the pen sion roll. Changes in residence have often operated to accomplish the same undesir able result. ' No country ever before attempted so pay sucn a vast sum in pensions a m . t to its soldiers. The South is bled to bestow all sorts of bounties, many of them secured by barefaced perjury, upon men who fought them. This CQUia oe oorne without complaint if it was not manifest .that the dema gogues are moving in these sweeping pension, bills for partisan purposes to make electioneering oapitaV by pensioning frauds and mendicants. , CLAY'S OPINION. rr r-rt -.'.""-- . nenry uiay is rotten - quoted, in these days .as to Tariff views.. He was- the leader of the Protection forces.

And enable them to withstand competition with those of Europe . If the protective' policy were entirely to cease in 1842 it would have existed, twenty-six. years .from 1816, or eighteen from 1824 quite as Jong as. at either of these periods, its friends supposed might be-neceasaryj - If he were living to-day, be would be the leader of Tariff reform rand surplus stopping. He would be in dead earnest. - The New York Times has had a correspondent who has been among the New Haven manufacturers in quiring, as to the workings- of 'the pTesent.War Tariff and ascertaining their view concerning its - revision and readjusting. They are found to generally favor a decided revision and reduction. They are intelligent, well informed men and many are Republicans. They have knowledge of the practical workings of the Chi nese Wall systom and they are for a change. Editorially the Times notes a printed illustration of the absurdi ties of the system furnished by the experience of the great Winchester Repeating Arms Company. lb says: "This company makes both ammunition and arms. It cannot export am munition, because it U forceda. pay a duty equiva lent to 73 per cent, upon the lead that en ters into this product. It can and does ex port arms because the value of the material is relatively so small and workmanship and invention count for so much that foreign competitors are baffled. The labor em ployed in making arms is skilled and the wages it receives ,are correspondingly high, yet 'cheap' foreign labor is unable . to cope with its product in foreign markets. Plain ly here is a case where the tariff is shown to ba unnecessary to secure good wages. Equally plainly the wages of labor in ma king ammunition would be advanced by the abolition of the tariff on lead, because the market would be extended, productioar would increase, and there would be a greater demand for labor. At the same time the consumer would be benefited." When the war came on Protection 9 was almost a dead issue. A Low Tariff, under which the country has progressed with unexampled and un rivalled rapidity, had about killed out the grasping, all-devouring Pro tection idea. If the war had . not come the country would have beard but little more of the Rob Roy doc- j trine ' "Tbe good old rule, the simple plan, That they should take who have the power. And they should keep who can." The war started protection on new legs and now, at tbe close of the year 1887, twenty-four years nearly after peace tbe Tariff is actually higher than it was at Lee's surrender. And all this is permitted by the peo ple. Gen. Dick Taylor has written the most striking book on the Southern side concerning the war. as Don Piatt has written the most striking book od the Northern aide. Gen. Dick died too toon. He was a man of genius. He had one of the most original and fertile minds in the South. TH . ST AH OF BETH I. Ell BM, Editor of the Star:Dk.ji Sir Some further facts on this subject may prove of interest to your read ers of this season. The exact date of the birth of our Lord has been a matter of great dis cussion among Biblical scholars, but some tacts are uercaiu bdq toe view here presented is very generally f o cepted at tbis time. 1. It is positively knowu that our common era is at least four years too late. Herod the Great was alive when Christ was born, and he died just before the Passover (March) 750 a. u. c, tnat is, trom the founding of Rome. The year 1 of our era corresponds with year 754 a. tj c; it was calculated in the sixth century by DionyBius Eignus, a Roman ab- bot, and partakes of the inaccurate scholarship of the period. 42. it is known from the Talmud what priestly coarse was oh duty at the fall of the Temple. . From this it is calculated - that the course of Abijah Luke i. 5.) was on duty from uct. 3-, 748 a. u. c. if the annun ciation to ZachanaS was made then, John the Baptist was born July, 749 a. v. c, and Jean's six months later. I JjUko i. 36), or Ueoember of the same year. This coincides with the facts about the time of Herod's death. . , J; John's Tministfy 'began in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tibe rius (Luke iii, l-3.) Augustus died August 767, a. tj. c., but- Tiberius-! began to reign jointly with him Jan uary, 765. Calculating from - the earlier datethe fifteenth year of; Ti berius began January "779 aij. o., and in , that year John becran -bis Pistryt he e but. rr -M n hti - nn m a -w w a nAexvi ei m - mt rm . istry J esus came to be baptized and, nuuwruiog- io, juuxe iut as, ?oeean- to be about thirty years of age.: -The. wora aoout of course admits r of iati tude, but remembering ; that J thirty years, was the-legal age which priests it is evide"nt that there is- a signifilf ..-?r.

" According to the .re suit arrived at'above he hottld;baye ieaobed this age July and Jesns could have been baptised not far from December of tbe same carp. Again all is consistent;- : " r-THnBAor wn fioms to the star. The conjunction of Jupiter and SX -Jit. rarti occurred tn toe ; consi,eiiiniy pisce in the year 747' a.'u." c. I n 748 Mars were added to them. The nhinc.A Aotrnnnmicai tables record a new star that . appeared. In 750 and. was seen. for. seventy asys. Hum boldt corroborated this, as also Pin ere.' who calls it a comet;.be records the appearance of two comets,' one in February and March, 749, the other in pril, 750. Before assuming that the con junction referred - to was the Star of Bethlehem, it should be no ted lbt the planets did not appear as a single star, but at-tbe nearest were distant from each other by;two apparent diameters of the moon. It must also be borne in . mind that the, expression "atar in the east' is mis leading. The wise men were "from the East" (Matt. iL, 1), and they said, "We have seen his star in tbe east," i. e., they were,, in the east when they saw it. If the. star had appeared to them in the eastern heaven, it would not have led them westward to Judea. ' To what conclusion do these facts lead ? To this, at least; that there were remarkable phenomena in tbe heavens that could lead astrologers to expect some great event; that they began about two years before the date we have found for tbe birth of Christ. (Compare Malt. ii. 7 and 16 Herod's only datum for the age of the child was thfe first astronomical phenomenon that attraoted the at tention -of the wise men); that, guided by the Spirit of God, and their knowledge of Jewish traditions current among them since the Baby lonist captivity especially, perhaps, the prophecy of Balaam (who was one of their own ordor) with regard to tbe "Star out of Jacob," and the Rabbinical behef-that a conjunction of Jupiter and Satnrn had occurred in the constellation.Pisces'before the birth of Moses, and would occur there again before the birth of the Messiah they are led to look for the advent of the King of tbe Jews; that led westward either by the first comet above mentioned, or by a miraculous star sent es pecially for this guidance, they ar rive at Jerusalem, and are direotod to Bethlehem, where, as they jour ney, the star appears again. VVhat ever the star that led them to Judea, this must almost oertainly have been a miraculous star, since it now led them southward, and "stood over where the child was." This descrip tion would indicate a star-like ap- pearance in the lower atmosphere. in the absence of contrary evi dence it may then be considered as fairly established that Christ was bom December, 749 a. u. c. or B. C. 5, or 4 years before the common era. As our year begins with Janu ary, and the birth was in December, according to tho present era, it would have been in the year 1 1. C. This little table may save confusion in some minds : 747. 748, 749, 750. 751. 753. 753. 754, 755. u. c.
