EVENING EDITION.
Thursday, ! Jan. 12, 6 P. M.
HAPpr.
The Northern Republican papera
are in high spirits in their oonviction
that the Democrats have about aban
doned practically all purpose to re
form ' the Civil Service after the
Radical and British plan. We would
really be delighted if we were as
sured that such was the fact. Bat
there are Democrats in the Congress
and elsewhere who believe in the
great virtue of a reform that confines
itself to subalterns and never reaches
the high officers, and they will make
tho very ulife and succsss of their
party all depend upon the adoption
and perpetuity of British life tenure
a syetem that removes the appoint
ing power forever from the people,
the true source of all power. The
Baltimore American is one of your
earnest, consistent Radical sheets. It
never sees any thing wrong in its
party and never finds anything good
In the Democracy. It is an organ
and its music is always of the old
regulation pattern.
Well, the American is happy. It
flatters itself that the civil service
principles are at a heavy discount
with the Democrats in and out of the
Congress. The truth is, among gen
uine Democrats the imported hum
bug, with a Republican stamp upon
it, has never been much in favor. The
American may be discovering an
abandonment that has no existence.
It says, and we hope it is correct:
"Signs seem to warrant the inference
that the Democrats have at leDgth con
cluded to openly abandon civil service re
form. Speaker Carlisle has appointed as
chairman of the standing committee on that
subject an avowed enemy of reform, and a
member of the Civil Service Commission is
queued as promising in the annual report an
expose of the humbnggery of the syetem.
This is more manly than tea attitude here
tofore assumed by the administration and
will command more respect if it does not
increase the supporters of the party. Any
thing is preferable to the covert and insidi
ous attacks made upon civil service reform
while outwardly professing the sincerest
anxiety for its success.
"Many believed when Dickens wrote
"Martin Chuzzlewit" that he had drawn in
Pecksniff a caricature, but those who have
closely followed American politics in re
cent years can no longer doubt the reality
of the creation. The skilfully worded
ganegyrica emanating from the White
Louse have so painfully contracted with
the enforcement of civil eervice principles
in many States of the Union that the lead
ers have probably wisely determined not to
prolong the wretched sham."
If Civil Service in America, the
work in the main of Republicans
smitten with Anglomania, shall find
an eternal quietus at the hands of the
Democrats, the Stab will be happy
also.
A R&DIOAL AND CIVIL SBBV1GE.
Senator Hale's assault upon the
Administration and the Democratic
party for its bad Civil Service record
attracted unusual attention. It seems
that this Republican is puttinp- on
airs about the violations of the law
and the removal of Republicans.
The Stab aoes not ooncern itself
With tho defence of the party aad
the President. It believes the Civil
Service theory and law to be unre
pubhoan, undemocratic and unamer-
ican. It is the transfer to our shores
of the bureaucratio system of life
tenure that pleases monarcbs and
lords. The STAEhas no favois to
show to such a system. It is a fraud,
and it is admitted that now clerks in
the Departments may continue in
definitely in their places. If it is
right that a certain set should hold
office from term to term, why not ex
tend it? Why not overturn at once
the great underlying American
idea of frequent elections that offl
cials are responsible to the people,
and let Presidents, Governors and
all hold office for life and upon good
behavior? Can you have too much
of a good thing?
But Mr. Hale is not honest in his
criticism. He is known to belong to
that class of machine politicians
who flourished in suoh a green state
under Grant's tyranny, and who
thought it altogether proper to raise
money out of all employes to help
corrupt the ballot and carry elec-
A.
tions - for the Republicans. He is
one of that number of tricksters who
indorsed Grant in every usurpation,
and left no stone anturned to per
petuate the curse of Radicalism in
the South. When he undertakes to
rebuke the Democracy for false
pledges and bad conduct, it is only
another instance of Satan rebuking
sin.
So far as we are concerned, we do
not care how much Hale and his
crowd criticize the Democracy for
fooling with the humbug British
syetem. But no one is stupid enough
to believe for a moment that the Re
publicans are the least sincere when
they pretend to believe in the vir
tues of Civil Service. Bob Inger
soll denounces it, and he says if the
Republicans were honest they would
denounce it also. 'Bob has taken the
measure of the life tenure fraud. If
the Republicans can only carry the
elections this year they will chop off
the head of every Demoorat in office
and "don't you forget it."
RANDALL V1CXOHIOUS.
The friends of Mr. Samuel J. Ran
dall, Protectionist, of Philadelphia,
have fared well at the hands of
Speaker Carlisle. When tho Speaker
was so roundly denounced by so
many Virginia and North Carolina
papers, some months ago, the Stak
stood by him and earnestly eulogized
him as ablest and truest of Demo
crats, with but few exceptions. But
he has disappointed us and many
other devoted and unfaltering Dem
ocrats. He is too much of a Trim
mer to measure up to the highest
standard. He lacks the nobler and
more exalted qualities of statesman
ship, we fear. He is too anxious to
sacrifice principle at the footstool of
expediency and self. In distributing
his favors, Speaker Carlisle has eepe
cially rewarded Randall, and his Pro
tectionist allies. The Washington
correspondent of the New York
Times writes:
"Including the Pennsylvania Protection
ist, there are in the present Congress twelve
Democrats who vote,d in the last Congress
to prevent any consideration of measures to
revise the tariff. Of these twelve. Mr. Ran
dall himself was the only one who held a
committee chairmanship. To-day the case
is decidedly different. Chairmanships have
been given this year by Mr. Carlisle to six
of the Democrats who helped the Republicans
to stifle tariff Legwlauin last year while two
others have places which Mr. Randall says
are equal to cnalrmanenip3, and all are well
taken care or.
There is talk of having one cent
postage, (not penny aa some papers
have it, for we have that now), and
we would like to see it come. One
cent per ounce will pay. At first
there would be a defioit, but so it has
always been when there has been a
reduction. Forty-five years ago you
had to pay 25 cents on a letter at
delivery. We hope the inquiry in
stituted by Senator Beck will be
prosecuted by the Committee on Post
office, and if there is any good rea
son for believing that the reduotion
will be to the interest of the people
and will be nearly self-sustaining,
then let it come. Why not? If the
Government can convey letters at
one cent without loss, it will be a
blessing and a great saving to al
out. me ricn ana Doasttui. ut oourse
a reduction should not occur if it
would embarrass for any great length
of time the operations of Govern
ment. We have not seen the text of Sena
tor Coke's speech on the Blair bill. We
have no doubt he spoke with force
and good sense, as he always does.
We would oonfide as soon in his
honesty, ability and wisdom as in J
any man now in the Senate of the
United States. He is right when he
says that the purpose of the Blair
iniquity is to follow the money voted
to the States and to asaame jurisdic
tion over the common schools. For
our part we would "not vote for the
RUirWll under anv ciroumstanoes.
We believe it to be a wicked Repub-
ioauplauto make votes for that
party, to get more and more posses
sion of the States, to lessen the au
thority of the States and strengthen
Consolidation, and to disregard the
laiitati j:h of the Constitution. If
it baoomes a law it will be very apt
to destroy tho Sohools in the end.
Senator Vest, of Missouri, and
Senator Morgan,of Alabama, are the
two readiest debaters, we believe, on
the Democratic side of the Senate.
Senator Vest has spoken with his
characteristic vigor, earnestness and
wisdom in opposition to the Pater
nal Pedagogy bill. We have not
seen the full text of the speech, but
quote from an abstract telegraphed:
Mr. Vest said that in his opinion the
passage of this bill would be worse for the
South than war, pestilence or famine He
was not surprised at Republican Senators
supporting this bill, but expressed surprise
and regret that uemocrauo senators who
had given their lives to a strict construc
tion of the Constitution and Jeffersoniaa
doctrines were now found to have surren
dered all the landmarks of their party in
presence of the great temptation of tbe pro
posed law. If the dead were permitted to
take any interest in the affairs of the living,
what must be the surprise of the
majestic spirit of John C Calhoun
when he saw his former followers,
the ttrict constructionists and Stales'
Rights Democrats of the South,
yelling in both houses of Congress for tbe
old flag and an appropriation? He
believed in univeisal education and would
be glad if every child in the United States
was Uught to read and write But that
was not all of education. The highest
education was that which taught telf re
spect aud self-reliance and individual inde
pendence. Without it individuals and
communities must deteriorate. This meas
ure was intended to destroy the common
school system of the States and put upon it
the stamp of federal authority, lie was
not attacking education, but he was attack
ing the -monstrous, fanatical enthusiasm
which represented tbis bill as a panacea for
all the evils which afflicted the body poli
tic." But the bill of abominations will
probably pass the Congress and be
oome a law, even supposing the
President should veto it, whioh we
greatly desire he should do.
We recently mentioned that Gen.
Armstrong, in charge of the Hamp
ton (Va.) Normal and Agricultural
(colored) Iustitute, and a Northern
Republican and soldier, was at one
time strongly in favor of the Blair
bill, but had changed his opinion
He no longer accepts the wisdom of
Blair, and does not believe in the
practicalness and judiciousness of
Federal aid. We copy from his offi
cial report. He says:
"Many have looked to government aid as
tbe only relief. I long bad the feeling, bnt
since the marvellous educational progress of
Virginia and other southern States, my
opinibn has charred. Tbe argument for
national educational aid for the ex-slave
States has unquestionably weakened.
National aid is certainly of doubtful wis
dom, if it mutt extend to all for the sake
of reaching these, for it might do more
harm thm good I do not believe in the
"Blair bill" as a wholesome measure, and
indeed do not see how the nee led aid can
now be given, tho crying evils remedied,
by any national measure. Every year,
however, will brighten the outlook.
This is tbe opinion of a Northern
school teacher, after years of experi
ence in managing a larga and impor
tant negro educational institution in
the South.
I he JNew York limes has not
much respect for the New Hampshire
"crank" and his attempts to raid
upon the U. S. Treasury. Referring
to his Federal school teaohing bill,
and the attitude of the Republicans
in the Senate tbis able independent
Republican paper says:
"The Republican Senators regard it with
mingled reelinzs. Some of them think it
would be a convenient way to get monev
out of the Treasury; some think it would
embarrass tbe Democrats to send it to the
House; some that it would make Repubh
can votes in the South. But everything in
connection with the bill has been gone over
in the Senate, until every one always ex
cepting Mr. Blair is very tired of it, and if
it is allowed to go through again, it will be
largely because the Sanato wishes to pre
serve its eacred consistency, and refuses to
admit that anything it has ever done can be
mistaken.

CURRENT COMMENT
The carefully prepared speech
in whioh Senator Sherman yesterday
made reply to the recommendations
of the President's message falls far
short of what was expeoted of one
who held under a former administra
tion the office of Secretary of the
Treasury and who lays olaim to a
mastery of the principles of finanoe
and economy. It laoks both the
breadth and the forte to meet efftet-
ivelv the steoncr and direct arguments
of the message, while the utter ab-
senoe of novelty eitner in suojeot,
matter or in manner of. presemauon
deprives it even of the interest winch
would attach to a treatment oi me-
same question by a clever rhetorioiau.

Mr. Blaine. That agile politician,

demolition of the President's posi

to the Ohio Legislature oalling upon

Louisville Courier -Journal, Dem.
MR. BROWN ON TAX RED UC-
TION.
Washington Post, Dem.
Internal revenue taxes were first
collected in 1792, and from that
time until 1848 they went into the
Treasury in annual sums of less than
$100 up to over $5,000,000. In 1663
they were renewed, the collections
being some $41,000,000. They were
as high as $810,000,000 in 1866, and
last year they were about $118,000,-
000. They are war and emergency
taxes, and one strong reason for their
oontiuanoe now is that the emergenoy
still existB.
Owing to circumstances with
which Senator Brown is perfectly fa
milar, we are obliged to pay out an
nually $80,000,000 in pensions and
$40,000,000 in interest upon tbe pub
lic debt, a sum equal to the entire
amount of internal revenue collec
tions. The two charges are not or
dinary expenses, but they are war
charges and nothing but war charge.
Tbe plea, therefore, that the emer
gency is passed is pot a good one.
Here are war taxes, if ihe Senator
likes to so style them, levied to puy
war debts. Let the one offset the
other.
Thirty years ago our net ordinary
expenses- were less than $70,000,000;
now we spend $120,000,000 for in
terest and pensions alone. What
sort of a statesman is be Vbo pro
poses to make whiskey and tobacco
free and load us down with $120,
000,000 more custom house taxation
to pay war debts?
Hut Senator Brown thinks the
Georgia mountaineers who make
fruit, brandies and whiskies have a
hard time of it and ought to be re
heved. This is true to some extent,
but the evil is in the machinery and
not tbe system, and any one of half
a dozen bills now in tbe House will
afford all the remedy any one desires
who really intends to observe tbe
law.
All Klcht to Tax Wbiskr, All Wrouc
to Tax the N cecasarlaa.
Philadelphia Record, Dem.
All reasonable persons admit that a
repeal of the tax on whiskey would
reduce its cost by the amount of tbe
tax: and it follows at tbe same time
that the Distillers' Trust, organized
to control production, would be
broken up. The Distillers' Trust
was made possible by reason of tbe
internal tax-on whiskey, just as tbe
ongar trust, the India rCubber Trust,
the Hesemer Steel King, the Coa
Monopoly, and many other rings and
combinations to plunder American
consumers, have grown up under the
tarirx laws. if tbe whiskey tax
ehould be repealed whiskey would
become very cheap and abundant, as
tbe tax is a great restraint upon oon
sumption, preoisely as the duties on
clothing, blankets, flannels, salt, lum
ber, rioe, coal and iron increase the
cost and lessen tbe consumption of
these commodities. Should the tax
on whiskey be repealed the emoke of
the still would rise once more in
every valley of Pennsylvania, and
the retail price of whiskey would be
reduced to tne old rate of 25 cents a
gallon.
But the question la whether the
cost of whiskey should be reduced
and the Government be deprived of
a large fiscal revenue, or whether
Congress should repeal the burden
some taxes on the raw materials of
industry and the necessaries of Ame
rican households from which the
Treasury derives small revenue in
comparison with the the taxes im
posed upon consumers. The proposi
tion to repeal the whiskey tax for
tbe sake or maintaining the tax on
articles of neoessity is a base brike to
tbe appetite whioh every self-respecting
American citizen should reject
with scorn. Why those who desire
to obtain an abundance of cheap
whiskey should favor a repeal of the
law is apparent; bat, why Prohibi
tionists should favor cheap whiskey
oan be understood only when we bear
tn mind the fanatical and irrational
spirit with whioh they disonss the
temperance question.
