New York, December 28.—The
following correspondence explains
itself:
National Civil Service Reform
league, office No. 4 Pine street,
New York, December 20, 1884.
Hon. Grover Cleveland:
Sir—We have the honor to ad
dress yon on behalf of the National
Civil Reform League, an association |
composed of citizens of all parties,
whose sole purpose is indicated by
its name, and which takes no part
whatever in party controversy. The
vast increase in number of persons
engaged in the civil service, and
the great mischiefs and dangers
arising from the general proserip-
tion in the service which, for half a
century,followed the change of par-
-4 v control of the National admin
istration,have prouuceu r ~»fr„ind
an impression upon the public mind,
that the first effective steps toward
reform were made with the co-oper
ation of both parties in the passage
of the reform act of July 18,1883,
Abuses which that act seeks to
correct,however, are so strongly en
trenched in the traditions and usage
of both parties that there is natural
ly a widespread anxiety, lest a par
ty change in the National Execu
tive, effected by the late election,
should show them to bo insupera
ble; but believing, as we do, that
the reform system cannot be held
to be securely established until it
has safely passed the ordeal of
such party change, and. recalling,
with satisfaction and confidence,
your public expressions favorable
to reform, and your official acts as
Chief Executive of the Ktato of New
York, we confidently commend tins
cause to your patriotic care in the
exercise of the great power with
which the American people have
intrusted you. Respectfully yours,
George Wm. Curtis, Pres’t.
Wm. Patts, Sec.
John Jay.

Cleveland’s reply:
Albany, N. Y., December 25th.
IW-I. lion. George William Curtis,
President, Ac.
Dear Sir:—Your communica
tion, dated December 20th., address
ed to me on behalf of the National
Civil Service Reform League, has
been received. That a practical re
form in the civil service is demand
ed is abundantly established by the
fact that the statue referred to
your communication, to secure such
result, has been passed in Congress,
with the assent of both political
parties, and by the further fact that
the sentiment is generally preva
lent among patriotic people calling
for a fair and honest enforcement
of the law which lias been thus en
acted. I regard myself plelged to
this because the conception of true
Democratic faith and public duty
requires that- this, and all of the
statutes, should l>e in good faith
and without evasion enforced, and
because in many utterances made
Prior to my election as President,
sPnoved by the party to which I
_ba|(ttg, and wt ich I have no dispo
sition to discla in, I have in effect,
promised the people that this should
be done. I am not unmindful of
the fact, to which you refer, that
many of our citizens fear the recent
party chanee in the National Exec
utivo may demonstrate that the
abuses which have grown up in the
civil service are ineradicable. I
know that they are deeply rooted,
and that the spoils system has been
supposed to be intimately related
to success in maintainance of party
organization, and I am not sure
that all those who profess to be
friends of this reform will stand
firmly among its advocates when
they find it obstructing their way
to patronage and place. But fully
appreciating the trust committed
to my charge, noAiieR «o*»outeration
oiiaii cause a relaxation on my part
of au earnest effort to enforce this
law. There is a class of Government
positions which are not within the
letter of the civil service statute,but
which are so disconnected with the
policy of an administration that re
moval therefrom of present incum
bents, in my opinion, should not be
made during the terms for which
they were appointed, solely on par
tisan grounds, and for the purpose,
of putting in their places those who
were in political accord with the
appointing power. But many now
holding such positions have forfeit
ed all just claim to retention, be
cause they have used their places
for party purposes in disregard of
their duty to the people and be
cause, instead being decent public
servants, they have proved them
selves offensive partisan manipu
lators of k cal party management.
Lessons ot the past should lie un
learned,* and such officials as well as
their successors should be taught
that efficiency, fitness and devotion
to duty are conditions of their con
tinuance in public place, and that a
quiet and unobtrusive exercise of
individual political rights is a reas
onable measure of their party ser
vice. If I were addressing none
but party friends, I should deem it
entirely proper to remind them that
though the coming administration
is to be Democratic, due regard for
the people's interest does not permit
faithful party work to be always
rewarded by appointment to office,
and to say to them that while Dem
ocrats may expect all proper con
sideration, selections for offices not
embraced in the civil service rules,
will be based upon sufficient inquiry
as to fitness, instituted by those
charged with that duty, rather than
upon persistent importunity of self-
solicited recommendations on be
half of candidates for appointment
Yours truly,
Grovf.r Cleveland.
A bi-centenary of a curious kind
has recently been celebrated at Am
sterdam, being no less than the cele
bration of the invention of the
thimble. It is just two centuries
sineo last October that the first Eu
ropean thimble was made by Nich
olas van Benschoten, a young gold
smith, who devised the article for
the protection of the finger ofhi«
'o iv-love. Mine. Van llansselaer, fi r
thimbles, like many greater things,
owe their origin to Dan Cupid. The
English were the first to make thim
bles on a large scale; but long before
either Dutch or.English thought of
thimbles, Chinese ladies were thirn-
bled when they worked at their
grand embroidery. The Chinese
thimbles bore—and bear to-day—the
form of a lovely lotus flower. There
is no such poetry of shape in the
Western finger-hat.
The reception at the white House
Jan. 1, President Arthur’s last, was
more than usually brillant, but be
yond that circumstance was devoid
of incident. The decorations ofthe
House were simple but tasteful, and
were almost entirely of ferns, palms
and cut from the White house con
servatory. The full marine hand,
stationed in the vetibule, lurnished
music. The President stood in his
usual place in the blue parlor sur
rounded by the wives of his cabinet
officers and those of a few Senator s
and Representatives, and his sister
Mrs. McElroy. The < ro^ramme w.>8
carried out promptly, and by 2:15
o’clock the President was out of
doors on horsebr ck.
A new measure of postal accommo
(lation has been carried through the
House without objection from any
quarter. Stated briefly, it author
izes postmasters to forward news
papers, packages, and, in general
all second, third and fourth class
matters on which the postage has
once been fully paid, from one
postoffice to another, at the request
of the party addressed, without any
charge for such forwarding. In oth
er words, the rule which now ap
(dies to letters is extended to ail
mail matters. Should this hill be
come a law, it will furuish an addi
tional convenience to the people

Senator Blair hopes that the House

as soon as the inter-State commence
bill shall have been disposed
The bill can be brought before the
House by a majority vote, and once
up its friends have- no doubt of its
passage.

I would say in answer to brother
Y’s question, that I have known
people to get into trouble by carry

of brother Y’s question it would
seem that he and all his neighbors
had but one hog to kill between
them. It must have been a whop

to kill it. By what rule did they di
vide it, that brother Y got so many

Well, Christmas has come and
gone, as did old Santa Claus, afford
ing much pleasure to some while
others seem to realize none; but I
hope it has left our people with less
sins to rei>ent of than it has for
years; though we have reasons to
believe, and I regret it too, that
some of our people ought to be
ashamed of their conduct, for I have
been informed that a subscription
was taken up and a man sent out
who brought thirty gallons of spirits
info our community and issued it
out, prohibition or no prohibition.
It is known that I was not much
of a prohibitionist, but I see that it
diminished dram drinking and if
our people have not committed
enough sin in the way of obtaining
if to t.ho good, it has
been a blessing, and if they could
not get it only for medical purposes
this side of New York there would

in favor now of prosecuting the ex
