The JUDGE has only good feeling for the south, It proposes, with the president, to know intimately no point of the compass at the expense of another, and it will be perfectly fair toall. But where is the man who did that assassination ? OFFICE-SEEKING — THE POSTAL SERVICE. HEN Mr. George Witham Curtis, just previous to the transfer of his allegiance to the Democratic party, described it as “very hungry and very thirsty,” it was an unconscious characterization of a mania, irre- spective of party, of all office-seekers. The mob solicitous of place that now crowd Washington expect a political miracle—that the few loaves and fishes should be made to feed a multitude, After twenty-five years of abstention, it was not surprising that the starved Democratic exiles should clamor with prolonged hunger for official bread. ‘The impetuous urgency of the Republicans, who have in the brief Lent of their dispossession hardly digested their long and liberal meal, is more than humiliating —it is disgraceful. The men who were removed for political reasons are struggling for their old friction- polished seats. A new crowd, thinking the old incumbents have had their share, are also snatching for the same places. Public office i not to be degraded to a public plun- der. ments are humiliated into servitors of a lunch-counter for the clamor- ous expectants of a meal in consid- eration of the nickel of political service. Practical men have little faith in civil service as a petrifactior Yet it is conceded that rapid rota- tion in pprenticeship and resultant crudity of work. ‘The promotion to the postal service of recruits from the plow may be political appre but is little likely toad business service. This department at least, one of the most important, could well be ated from politi- cal reward and ‘be placed on the same plane as milit Heads of government depart- ny line of duty is perpetual jation, nce a purely y service, pro- Be- ause Jones or Brown has worked a caucus in favor of a congressio’ nomin motion following experience. ion, is he properly qualifi for a railroad distributor of the mail ? A thorough and necessary geo - graphical knowledge can only be attained by experience and drill, and no self-complacent claim of inspira- tion will take its place, There are numberless positions where ordinary ity can well serve without re- tarding or embarrassing the busi- ness of the public, sition to nor symj Neither oppo- athy with the policy of an administration has any ch chi bearing on the purely intelligent, yet mechanical, service of the mails. ‘The postmaster, however, outside of the great towns is a political gan- glion, who helps or hinders through his distribution of party force, and should properly be changed. In the evolution of politics it is not too much to expect that a divid- ing line can be drawn between a service like that of a soldier and t which requires sympathy with the policy of the party in power. Some such attainable plan will avoid the superciliousness and senility of the life-long civil-service system of England and Canada, even if it does not fully satisfy that vast multitude “who neither toil nor spin,” but believ. chosen people they should receive the honor and manr from the political heaven, The false ery of the Democratic commune, is not to be imitated by a party of self-respect.
