The changes made in this service sinee Mr. Bayard ; became Secretary of State, mntinw every tiling, from an Envoy '.traordinary and Minister Plouipoltiary down to an interpreter, aggrade only 144 out of 827 such officers the service of the United States, or y forty-four per cent The Admin- - 'ation at Washington has changed fro.in one party to another for the lirst “time in a quarter of a century, and a ' v,ist compiled in the second year of -hat Administration Shows that, instead of the old-fashioned “clean iweep” abroad, much less than half >f the representatives of this Government in foreign lands have been changed. To understand what this really means, one should contrast this record with that made when four years before {here was not a change of parties but only of representatives of the same party in the Executive De bepartments. When Mr. Garfield came President and made Mr. Blaine Secretary of State, he found the diplomatic service tilled witfr men ap5«inted by Republicans, yet during the four months between Ms.rch 4, 1881, and the day of the Guitcau tragedy, . no less than 65 changes were made in a total number of offices then but little exceeding 300 In other words, changes were mad e in 18 per cent, of the diplomatic offices within four months by Mr. Biaino as a Republican Secretary of State, against only 44 per cent in more than a year by I: Mr. Bayard as a Democrati c Secretary, although the change of parties presented the strongest temptations and excuses for wholesale changes in the latter case. Such figures as these are full of encouragement to the friends of CivilService reform. They show that the system of treating public offices as public trusts is steadily making headway; indeed, that it has already become too thoroughly entrenched ever to be overthrown by the spoilsmen. —N.

DRIFT OF THE PRESS. ——A ; Republican supreme court fcas just declared the Republican mayor of Columbus, O., a usurper, and has instructed a Republican sheriff to carry out its orders and oust the mayor’s chief of police.

He says it; is a question whether Mr. Blaine cares to pass through another'siege as a Presidential candidate. Probably :lf Chairman Jones knew positively thal; Mr. Blaine did not care to pass through another siege he would not be unwilling to give him a boom. But, as he nays, it is a < question, and the funny part of it is Mr. Blaine doesn't answer that question—Chicago News. -William Pitt Kellogg, of Louisiana, told me once in “the good old days” before the reform that he had 225 appointments in the executive departments here.

STULL UNAVAILABLE. If Mr. Blala* Coaid Not Cany HU Tkrlf Through In lUt, How Can Ho la 18) 1ST —What n Kopublloaa Paper Thinks. The tone of the Blaine Republican press since the Maine election shows that Mr. Blaine will be probably strongly pushed for the Republican, nomination in 1888. It ean not be doubted that he desires it, because nothing could be more distasteful to him than to close his public life with such a defeat as that of 1884—a defeat due to personal and not to party reasons. He was not defeated because his party had lost public confidence, but because he was its candidate. But a great many earnest Republicans who.disapprove! of his nomination for various reasons were yet so persuaded that Republican opposition to a Republican nomination was a kind of treason to the country and to human liberty that they havo eome to think the election of Mr. Blaine indispensable to the vindication of the party and to the proper punish* ment of such offenders, and more than one of them has been heard to say that he now lived to secure that result. A candidate who in addition to this kind of support has the aid of the party machine and the prestige whieh envelops the chief party leader enters the contest with great advantages. It seems, however, impossible that the wise heads of the party should think Mr. Blaine’s nomination to be judicious. Many of the leaders who supported him most strongly upon the stump In ’84, and who most bitterly denounced the treachery of Mugwnmpery, had been most strenuously opposed to his nomination. They knew that the campaign would be necessarily a prolonged and desperate personal 'defence and apology and explanation, as it was. They have seen that all did not avail, and they know that nothing whatever has occurred to make Mr. Blaine a more acceptable candidate, while much has happened which would make it easy for many who voted for him in ’84 to decline 'to vote for him in ’88. It is useless to urge in his favor that nothing new can be said against him. ““*"t was said in 1884 was enough to and it was of a kind which its force with a cs,mthe transactions of which letters Were the proof to ind made him in the pnbn unfit for the presidency will make him equally If the explanations and d defenses were fruitless will be equally fruitless as then said that he had ted by his election as . y the same reasoning, n condemned by his desidency. The personal unchanged. There is suppose, and, so far as1' is no evidence Whatoters who hold him to unlit in 1884 will to be any more this be so, Witt urnunt be strong>tedly it was the parthe Irish Democratic [led him to contest the ’81. Bnt few intelappose that the mere hstDemocraticsrtccess danger can he as strong in as it was in ’84. .Jn *84 thousands of honest Republican? believed that t;he election of Mr. Cleveland meant payment of the rebel debt, and compensation for slaves, and oppression Of colored citizens, and control of the Government by its enemies, and radical financial disturbances, and a general panic and prostration of industry and enterprise. In view of such calamities to follow the success of the Democratic candidate, they felt that it was a criminal Phariseeism to object to the character of the Republican candidate. Undoubtedly he will be warmly pressed as the most conspicuous leader, as a great party orgauiser, as the Republican of tho largest and most devoted following, as the only Republican who can command an Irish Democratic vote; and the strongest appeal of all in a party convention will be tho declaration that in view of his defeat in ’84 uj>on personal grounds, to set him aside in ’88 will be to acquiesce tacitly in the personal charges against him. Yet that he will be really a stronger candidate in *88, or that the Cleveland Administration will have been snch as to make the party argument for him more decisive than in”84, can not be supposed. It will be a hundredfold easier to be an Independent in ’88 than in ’84. Every form of obloquy and blackguardism and falsehood against Mugwumps has been exhausted, and! it is demonstrated that to vote against an unlit Republican is not to vote for national disaster. Men and brethren, let us reflect upon these things.—Harper's Weekly,

boycotting a department. Unbusinesslike and Unpatriotic Attitude of the Ship - Builders Who Korme:*ly Had Every Thine Their Own Way. The Herald notices with surprise and regret that many Republican newspapers are rejoicing because the shipbuilders of the couutry hate not put in any bids for the construction of the new war vessels which the last Congress ordered. This is carrying partisanship to an extreme which can only be regarded with sorrow and contempt., It so happens that the few shipbuilders of America are bound together hj' certain ties which the avenge citizen has not taken the trouble to oxaminc. A casual inspection of the records of the Navy Department, under the rule of, Robeson, will convince anybody of an Inquiring turn of mind that the sympathy between the owners of the ship yards was closer than is usually the case among men who are supposed to be in competition. Roach himself was a stock-holder in three yards, and if one of them did not get a contract another one usually did. In those days the contractors had their own way. They made what the* pleased, and the Government accepted it without question. Extras Were allowed on presentation, and ships that were found Absolutely worthless wore paid for just the same as any other. 1 he result is now before the country. An expenditure of $400,000,000 in twenty years has left us a navy which does not contain one iifst»ctass ship, and the hest vessel In which, it is estimated, will have to goto thejnnkshop in two or three vears.

After making such a record, What U to be thought of the ship-builders who now refuse to put in bids for the construction of new vessels? The conclusion is irresistible that they are unwilling to be bound by contracts isid the law. They are not prepared to engage in an honest compact which they know they will be compelled to observe to the letter. Their present attitude is at once unbusinesslike and unpatriotic. More than that, it is the strongest kind of evidence that they arc incapable of building the honest ships which the people now demand for their aavy.—Chicago Herald. -Senator Sherman says ip his stump speech that Cleveland’s Administration “represents in its sympathies the triumph of the rebel oausel” It would not be polite to allude to Senator Sherman as a blatherskite, and we are not going to dq so, for Senator Sherman is not a blatherskite; but he talks just exaetly as a blatherskite would if n blatherskite happened to be standing in bis boots.-^Fiuhinijlwi

POVERTY W CITIES. Motto* oa Intelligent Man Who Is Too Poor to Born Paper. [Chicago Herald.] There are men in the world whose elrcumitancet force upon them an economy so relentless that the general run of mankind, easy-going If not prosperous, are unable to form any definite conception o It. It is foreign to their experience, and tgeyond their conaoiouness. They can not understand how a man can bo too poor to •buy an occasional cigar or drink, or a regular newspaper. But that there are such men the little story told by a resident of North State street well illustrates. “1 am not an early riser,** said this gentleman, “nor is any member of my household. It is not . often that either I or one of my servants get* out after the morning paper earlier than seven o’clock. But one morning, about three weeks ago, I happened to come down about 6:45. and going out after my paper found a workingman sitting on the steps, his dinner pail by his side, deeply engaged with the news of the day. He was not aware of my presence, and my first impulse was to speak sharply to him and give him a reprimand for his impudence But on second thought 1 did nothing of kind, lut re-entered the hottse and left him alone, watching him, however, from behind the curtains of the front window. A few minutes before seven o'clock he carefully folded the paper, put it on the door-sill, picked up his dinner bucket and hastened away to his work. The next morning 1 got np early on purpose to see if he would' return, and, sure enough, there be was, with the paper in his hand. He was a sober, thoughtful appearing man, and the incident so impressed me that 1 told my servants never to go for thepeper uhtll after seteh o’clock, or until the man had finished with it. He ke,>t coming morning after morning, and I finally went out and spoke to him. He apologised like a gentleman for the liberty be had taken, and when I told him that I knew he was reading my paps* before I did, and liked to have him do so, the man almost broke down. It was a little thing —a mere trifle—but I fancy we were both the better for our interview He seemed to bp a well-informed man, and said that he could not be satisfied to remain in ignorance of current events, and yet was too poor tn take a paper, “ *1 earn *1.80 a day,* he said, 'and pay $19 a month for rent, 1 haVe a Wife and four children—three of them tn school. My trite is sickly, and there am medicines to buy, and occasionally the doctor comes. I neither smoke nor drink, but when our ex - penses am paid—and God knows theyv am little enough—them isn’t a cent left in\he house. I am actually tab poor to take a newspaper.' “1 wonder,’* the State Street gentleman added, "if them am many men Uke him in Chicago?*’

THE CAT-MAN. A Purveyor to the Wants of a Legion of Sam Francisco Tabbies. [Alts California The methods thtl some people employ to make A living ere peculiar. For instance, there is one man in this city *ho makes a comfortable living by supplying cats with their daily food. Almost every business office and wholesale store downs town has from ohe to four cats who are necessary fob the protection of the premises from the depredations of rats. These eats formerly were fed by the porters or office boys, who often neglected them, and ee a consequence the advent of the cat-man, as he Is called* was hailed With delight. Beefy htorhittg, SobS After the stores are opened, a pale-faced, middle-aged Austrian may be seen wandering aronnd California, Front and adjacent streets carrying with him a large can of milk and a basket of meat. All Of the principal places are on his list, lie is so quiet in hie work that his presence ia noticed by few other than his feline patrons, who always greet him with every evidence of recognition and pleasure. He speaks e few words to the eats to quiet their outburst of welcome, then Bile a saucer full of milk* leaves a little meat close by, and proceeds to tbs neht customer. He IS paid twenty-five Cents a week for feeding eacb eat, and should there be a litter of kittens the tax is ten cents additional. The cat-men is sharp. At times the cats will stray from their belongings and seek more congenial quarter*. When the purveyor comes around in the morning and notices the absence of his customer he immediately atarts on a ■till hnnt for her, and the wanderer ia generally found and returned to bar proper home. However, if the cat can not be found another is soon substituted, and in this way his list of customers is not lessened. The cat-man uses about ten gallons of milk and fifty pounds of meat each day, and has an assistant to help him. Several dogs are also provided with meat. CfOW trades and Dadlnas [Boston Globe.) There are dudes among the Crow Indians. Many of the young mm, who In the summer time wear nothing to speak of but a breech clout, have this as bespangled as a circus actor's trunk. They also paint their bodies and Wear tto end of eagle's feathers. Every buck has a little case studded with hrass nails, In which are contained paint, feathers, a lookingglass and a variety of breech clouts. The maidens wear a sort of light and airy Sother Hubbard Coatuihe, highly colored ookings (usually a flaming red), and paint their hair and person but one shade, a bright Vermillion. 'What Oar Noses Cna Smell. [Philadelphia Press.) Professors Fischer and Pensoldt, of B? langen, have established the curione fact that the sente of smell is by far the most delicate of the senses. They find that the olfactory nerve Is able to detect th* presence of 1-2,700,000,000 of a grain of mercaptan. Analyzed and found free-from poison— | Red Star Cough Cure.
