Astounding lie wore promulgated among those jhsople that they would be subjected to a condition of slavery or at leant deprived of all rights of citiieuship. Republican nowspapora came out with the moat audacious state mentzi of the hostility of tlie Democrat! against the colored people and Republican orators warned them of the fate thev might expect should they falter in their allegiance to them.

was a certain feeling of fear among the negroes, fostered by the mendacious proclamations of Messrs. Blame, EvarU & Co. Thev were led to believe that some of the" first measures of the party in power would be directed against them and they awaited the inauguration with some auxiety. All their fears vanished at the ringing words of President Cleveland: v.. . a. .. .. .1 ... I .. I . I ... M.ii nf ai i.nrairnlaUint

Now, their leader, Frederick Douglass, assures them that those wools of the President removes any cause for fear that they may have felt, and leave nothins for the colored people to critici.se.

Highly Commetidable if One Could Only Ila .ture of Their Sincerity.
Th suddcu conversion of our Republican friends to tlie excellent doctrine of
civil-service reform and their vigorous
denunciation of partisanship, and of
ausrht relating to the spoils system.
would be highly commendable if the people were only convinced of their sincerity. But the circumstances under which the conversion took place, and the notorious system of corruption whloh frw to such enormous nropor-
itnilnr tho fosterinsr care of the
'Republican partv. are apt to make people very Incredulous. The condit on
which the public service rcacnuu unuer the adminNtration of that party was thus admirably de?rribed ly Mr. Bayard over two years ago: "Original appointment to office no longer depends on character, capability or presumed or proven fitness, nor doe the tenure depend upon fitnras or capacity; but unhesitating service as a political ami personal partisan, to whom scruple of any kind will be only an incumbrance, has become the most reliable groundwork for success in procuring or retaining public office. Thus, gradually, an army of mercenaries has been organized, who arc strong enough to control nnnt-nnlinnn anil nmiiinntins HSSCIll-

Chairman of the Senate Finance Com
mittee demanded that the tanii rates on wool existing previous to thu reduction made in pursuance of the tarift commission's recommendation, be re
stored. To tins Mr. Sherman objected, and the controversy that followed grew so acrimonious that the friendly rela
tions between the gentlemen were severed. It is now sa;d that the real reaason which influenced Mr. Sherman to refuse service on the Finance Commit
tee was that 1ms was unwilling to associate with Messrs, Morrill and Aldrich. If the Republican party had continued in nowcr such a disruption would not have occurred. The cohesive influence of plunder would have held the discordant elements together a while longer, and Sherman and his colleagues would have continued to fraternize in the hopo that individual or patty gain might follow the hypocrisy. But thorn is now no mas.net to draw these elements together, and tho example which the leading men have i-ot will be followed by others until the fragments of tlie "grand old party" are scattered about in every direction. There is no unitv, no harmony aud no hope.

PUBLIC ECONOMY. Ah Knperlment Which Will InfHe Health and Kntflency Into tho Public Service. The Secretaries of tho Interior Departments and the Department of Justice are men of simple and inexpensive tastes. ;Mr. Lamar thought a boarding-house that was good enough for a Konatnr would do vciv well for a Cabi
net officer, and as ho did not have half
a dozen horses, carriages and coachmen iu the former position, ho can not see the necessity of tiicm in that which he now occupies. Mr. Garland views tlie subject in a similar light, and while their action in ordering the sale of all tho equipages anil the r belongings that have been kept for private uses, doubtless accords with their own preferences, it is also an indication of a general policy to 1m pursued by this Administration. Tlie supcrniimories inttst uo.

all that has no legitimate relation to tho public service will do much to restore tho morale in all branches of tlio Government.
