HE CHARMING LADY who married the duke of Marlborough has been subjected to insult through the visit to her of Lady Colin Camp- bell. It is gratifying to know that the insult has been properly resented by the church authorities at Blenheim, but more than that is necessary to satisfaction. It may be well to wait and watch the treatment of the third wife of Joseph Chamberlain; and yet in any event it will probably be nec- essary to social justice and etiquette that we shall capture Great Britain as well as annex Canada to the United States. EVACUATION. VACUATION DAY was celebrated by the party with copious tears. It had been decreed that, being too English, y" know. “SMACK I" Voice (from out stilly dimness)—"* Oh, George! How you frightened me.” (Profound silence for some time.) : ith angelic suvetness)—" G-e-o-t-g-e—frighten the changing of conditions. These modi they should evacuate the offices. There was demonstrated an American- ism on that day that caused much sorrow on their part; but it must be said that they were as peaceful in their preparations for evacuation as were the British something over a hundred years ago. The new and more regular evacuation day comes on the fourth of March, and every Democrat who has self-respect will have his resignation in President Harrison's hands at that time. THE RIGHTS OF THE VOTERS. Baaovock, Pr., Now. 16, 1888 To the editor of the Juve, New York city, NV. Deak sin—I have been an appreciative reader of the Junce during the campaign. The Juocie has been of great service to the Republican party. Mr. Arkell’s editorals-on the tarifl were master-preces in theit line, and the cartoons produced by Your various skilful Artists were to a high dejree telling.” ‘The Juoce is deserving of much praise. As an admirer of it | wish it were in no wise open to censure, but unfortunately it fs. Sad to say, it stands on the wrong side of a great question. It fs quity of advocating the pernicious icy, "To the victor belong the spoils.” T grieve beeause of this. The Jer ought to in favor of business methods in government affairs. It ought to realize that satisfactory service cannot be had from government employees so long as offices are bestowed on Men to'reward their party zeal. ft ought to be progressive enough to see that civil service reform is one of the vital questions of the time. - President Cleveland proved a traitor to this vital cause, "He deserved the defeat which came to him. The Juber condemned Mr. Cleveland because of his broken pledges. Presidenvelect Harrison i pledged, through the platform of the Republican party and words contained in his letter accepting. the nomination ten- Gered to him at Chicago, to be truc to the reform which Me. Cleveland deserted. Does the Jex propone to urge uno Mr, Harris that he et at nacht is profesed principles ? 1 lear that the Juuce intends to occupy this very inconsistent attitude, T-notice with keen displeasure remarks in the current issue of the Jouce to the effect that the Republicans, having won, intend to cceupy the offices and the Democrats must prepare to "git" Tam a Republican and an ardent friend of General Harrison but if the Kepublican party and Geticral Hartson follow the advice of the Junce I shall of necenity tiecome a very ike. warm Republican, and my {riendship for General Harrison must wane. Why can't the Juce be'on the right side, I wonder! Why must it be found in the ranks of the spoilsmen? ‘Yours very truly, J.C. MeConsien, jx The criticism of our correspondent, corrective in its intent, is the more appreciated for the kindliness of its inspiration. The JUDGE is a satirical paper. Its sneers should not be mistaken for statements, or its wit always for wisdom. It should be remembered that the struggles of the last campaign were not fought with regimental ribbons of red tape for its banner in place of all that was represented by the national flag. The great army of volunteers that on the sixth of November achieved another Appomat- tox were dinner-pail battalions that rolled back the assault on the national pros- perity, and stayed the devastation of mil- lions of dear but humble homes. The tariff issue, shirked as it has been, and denied as it will now be by Democratic oracles, was nevertheless the impending and overshadowing issue. If administration success, instead of defeat, had followed, Mr. Cleveland, Watterson, Vest, Carlisle and Mills, the high-priests of industrial experiment, would have been draped with prophetic mantles, and their subsequent drivelings accepted as voices of the gods. This question 1s settled, however, for years. The policy of protection will not be incidental, but one of principle and purpose. Revisions of the tariff will be enacted from time to time, demanded by fications will be those of care-taking judg- ment rather than hap-hazard or Texan chance. The collateral purposes of the Republican party can now prop- erly receive consideration, and while subordinate to, they will necessarily buttress and strengthen its policy. The JUDGE is in favor of civil service, but not a service of either sentimentalism or sham. Weaklings are not entitled to pensioning from pain of disrupting the ties of pleasant social contact. Stupid zeal is not worthy of reward simply for its sonorousness and persistence of voice. The spoils of victory are not necessarily loot. Should the vanquished, however, simply because they once tented there, and for no other reason, still be allowed occupancy of the conquered camp? Rigid civil service, if carried to its ultimate conclusion, would demand the new administration to retain, for their experience, the old advisors. Could any business be successfully watched or expanded if the assistants were not in sympathy with the direction of its head? Would not internal istrust or antipathy be followed by demoralization and defeat? Ci service should properly select for government subordinates not its ene- mies, but its helpers and its friends. There never was yet so responsible a position but when emptied it could be filled. If this were not so, the removal by death, and not awaiting political selection, would bring the world to a standstill, It is the absurd and unpractical character of the i techism that has brought on it ridicule and contempt, A comicbooks.com
