Now that Conkling , Cameron and

The bill creating n bureau of labor as

nn appropriation setting apart $125,000 to
enable the aocrohryof the interior to col

The re-nomination of Congressman
Anderson , of Kansas , is n deserved re
cognition of his able and honest services ,
Bo is ono of the very few republican con
gressmen who uro not cappers for corpo
rate monopolies.
Now THAT Mr. Camoronhas boon good
enough to return from Europe , perhaps
bye and bye , ho will also condescend to
rcsumo his place in the sonata nnd make
ft feint of performing the duties ho was
elected to discharge.
Tin : conviction of llanlny puts an end
to prizo-fighlinc ? In Nebraska. Now if
the grand jury of Douglas county will do

SENATOR SHP.IIMAN modestly says that
ho does not expect the nomination at Chicago
cage , but is prepared for it if it does
come. It is also to bo hoped that the
senator is "prepared' for the millonium
for ono is just about as likely to coino as
the other.
THE proceedings through which" Young
Bill" English obtained the scat in the
house which belonged to Poollo wore the
most disgraceful that congress has soon
for many a day. Charges of wholesale
bribery are preferred against both Eng
lish and his father old Bill , and there is
no doubt that 101110 of them have just
foundation.
THIS whirligig of tinio brings round Its
revenges. Major Babcook , who has boon
nominated for promotion to bo lieutenant
colonel in the engineer corps , now finds
the skeleton of the old whisky ring star
ing him in the face. As the charges
have not boon revived by enemies as a
matter if revenge , ho will probably sue
coed in the end in overcoming the
flpponition.
THKUK will bo a rise in real catato in
Bismarck now , The supreme court of
Dakota has forever settled the capital

if the citizens of Yankton Trill go ahead
and omutoto the example of Omahawhen
flho lost the capital of Nebraska , nho may

Bon. Butler believes that it is the early

has ongacod Dr , George L. Austin , author
of the "Lifo of Wendell Phillips , " as his

Jioalon Glebe ho will glvo the schollary
estimate of the general's character and

HuiiAT. HAISTKD , who io a pronounced

dent Arthur importuned Mr. MaoYoagh
to remain in the cabinet whore Garfield
had placed him , and that ho "choso to
abandon his post and run away from his
official duties at the most critical in
ment. " In Halstod's opinion M&oVoagh
has only exposed hiiruulf to universal
contempt , The editor of the Commercial
Gazette concludes his article as follows :
'A proper sense of decency and the
fitness of things" should have induced
Mr. MooVeagh to have held his peace at
the present time , since it ouuht not to be
regarded us a crime or an act worthy ol
rgbu-o for Riiy republican to work and
apeak in lohulf of the renoinlnatimi of a
President who has won the respect and
conGdeuco of ( ho whole country , and ha _
had the hearty endorsement of every re
publican state convention save ono , H
would certainly be telling the country a
great deal , and at the same Ume retloci
latting honor upon tbo republican par
if it could be assured that tbo next ad

errors and scandals as the present one
* SERVICE ix MASSACJW
SKTTS.
TUB public service committee of the
Massachusetts house of representatives
las just reported n civil service law for
thostato. In many respects it is a re
markable mcaauro nnd might well form a
model to other states in the union. Mas-
lachusotls has always been the peculiar
lomo of civil service reform , and thcro
s no doubt that this law or ono like it ,
will bo passed at the present session.
In some particulars it is very much like
, ho national civil service act. Its aim is
o apply the principles of that measure to
iatoand municipal offices. In this * rc
ard it is the first law of the kind over
lovisod. It provides for the appointment
mont by the governor of three commis
iionora to servo three years each. These
are to select after a competent oxamina' '
ion persons "to fill offices in the government
mont of the commonwealth and of the
cities thereof , which are rcouircd to bo
illod by appointment , " and are to select
"persons to bo employed as laborers or
otherwise- the service of the common-
wcath and of the several cities thoroof. "
No recommendation given by any sena
tor , representative , alderman or council
man , except as to the character or residence -
donco of the applicant , is to bo en
torUincd by the commission. The
rules against political assessments are
very strict. No employe of state or city
is to bo allowed to solicit , nor give any
contribution for political purposes , nor
remove , prejudice , degrade nor threaten
any other employe for refusing to give
such a contribution. No oflicos are to bo
promised in advance forpolitical purposes
by any person holding any public oflico
or oven in nomination therefor. Elo v
tivo and judicial ollicorn , these whoso up
[ ointment in subject to the confirmation
of the executive council or city council ,
lieads of departments , public school teach
ers and the private secretaries of oxecu
Live officers , are , for obvious reasons , exempted
empted from the operation of the act.
The rest of the bill , which is vary long ,
relates chiefly to the manner in which
examinations shall.bo hold , and the precautions -
cautions for securing their honesty.
Under this act all state and municipal
employes , such as wardens , commission
era , marshals , policemen , inspectors do
toctivcs , fireman , etc. , uro to bo elected
according to the principles of civil ser
vice reform. Instead of being appointed
for merely political or personal reasons
they are to bo chosen on the true business
basis of competency and character. Only
these who show good evidences of ability ,
if the act bo faithfully executed , can bo
appointed. The importance of this proposed -
posed reform in the public service is \ ory
groat.
Incompetent , dissolute and cornpt
officials have been the curse of ovcry
state and city in the union. As long as
mayors or governors have the solo power
of appointment an n reward for political
service , ward bummers , shysters and job
bers are chosen to fill responsible posi
tions. The experiment in Massachusetts
will bo watched with interest by men
who desire to elevate the standard of our
local government and eradicate abuses
that have bocomd a source of great danger
to American states and municipalities.
MEXICO AND ITS PItESIDENT.
If President Gonoxlos resigns , as it is
rumored ho will shortly , Mexico will
Imvo good reason to congratulate herself.
Ho has boon , from the beginning of his
administration , a constant hindrance to
the progress of the country in any diroc
tion. Ho is as much of a despot as the
most absolute monarch , and as much ol a
robber and plunderer as a highwayman.
Ho is of a brutal and savage disposition ,
with an intense and bigoted hatred ol
Americans and all the improvements tlicj
are trying to introduce. Ono of his ty
rannicol acts was substituting nickel for
silver and gold coins.
By compelling the people to exchange
their good metals for the inferior money
: io cleared not less than § 5,000,000.
The Mexican treasury is clogged with
nickels but Gonalmi holds fast to his
llei/al gains , Although ho wont into power
a poor man Goimlca has accumulated
ilftoen millions by lawless and corrupt
schemes , Another of his despotic meas
ures was the stamp act , which almost
created a revolution. All the foreign
morclmnU in the country wore sudden
ly informed tnat after a certain
date no goods would bo allowed
to leave any of their nro
without n government tax allho , . * |
The price of the stamp wut t\ \ % l , „ , ! i
and the dooroo practically amounted Io
embargo on the foreign marclmnts
trodo. Under Gonzales' administration
the customs officers nnd the chiefs or
governors of departments ore aa despotic
and as extortionate 0.1 himself , Fines ore
levied on importers upon the slighcst pretext -
text , or upon no pretext at nil. The customs -
toms laws are strained to the utmost ex
tent to extort the last possible cent from
Americans. The chiefs of departments
near the border openly levy blackmail on
all Americans who attempt to do business
thoro. If it is not paid , u pretense of
taking a loan is trumped up , under
which all of the refractory Americans'
goods are seized and carried away. The
temper of the people is knpt constantly
irritated and exasperated against the
Americans. It is almost impossible for
merchants of this country to carry on
their business thoro. Even these who
are engaged in building railroads and de
veloping the resources of the country are
in constant danger of arrest on trilling
charges , and when once In jail are sel
dom brought out alive.
General Diaz , vrho is most likely to
be the successor of Qonzalos is a man of
broad liberal and progressive ideas.
While at the head of the Mexican re-
publio ho foaterered and enouragod ov
cry cuterpileo that tends to raieo the
Mexican people to a level with other
civilized nations.
TAMl'MllNU WI111 Tlllt SC1IOOOL
PUXD.
Ono of the questions that will have to
answered at on early day is whether
' .ho city treasurer of Omaha has any right
, o keep in his own possession money paid
n by the liquor dealers and which bo-
ongs to the school fund. If the tnonoy
does not belong to the school fund , it
certainly does not belong to the treasurer ,
unless ho regards himself as staka-holdor
for the liquor dealers. Suppose a liquor
dealer , who has paid in § 250 or § 500 ,
but can got no license until ho has paid
the balance of the $1,000 , should die ,
which is liable to happen , to whom
will the treasurer account for the
money. It is not his own , because
ho can lay no legal claim to it ,
and according to his own version it docs
not belong to the school fund , because
the party , that paid it to him has no li-
conso. Suppose again , that a dealer
who has paid in § 250 concludes to give up
the liquor business at the end of three
months , and therefore never get * a 11-
ccnso , will the treasurer con'inuo ' to hold
that money and leop it in the bank on
interest ? Is the school fund to bo robbed
on account of a technicality ? Thcro is no
doubt that during the summer season
from fifteen to twenty men will want to
soil liquor in Omaha , for from ono to
three months. They will pay to the
troasuaor all the way from § 83 to $250
each , and the treasurer proposes very
cooly to put that money in his bank
on interest , instead of paying it over to
the school board. When the season is
over not ono of these mon will have a li
cense , and the treasurer will not only
have the uao of the money , but ho may
hold on to It until after his term expires ,
and refuse to hand it over to his success
or. This is a beautiful state of affairs ,
and certainly ought to bo attended to at
once by the mayor and council andboarc
of education. A very eminent attorney in
this city gives it as his opinion that the
city treasurer has no right to receive the
liquor license money , but that the county
treasurer is the proper custodian
oil school moneys obtained from liquor
licenses. The ordinance regulating the
sale of liquor in this city , which makes
the license money payable ( a the city
treasurer , is in conflict with the general
statutes , and hence it is void It strikes
us that the tinio has come for the city to
comply with the laws , and have its ordin
ances , regulitinc the sale "f liquors ,
legally fram d to tut the < 3 ilora who
are willing to lorap'/ with th > law can
havi ) pioper j.nuoution , i Q the oily
schools have the benefit of the fund aris
ing from the liquor traffic.
