must go South. There lie w ill en
counter a people who look, speak
think and feel like tin* men who wros*
cd this country first from the untutor

tyranny of princes. There stands the
stronghold o' conservatism, the happy ]
medium between tyranny and anar

Confessions something like this are

The 1’ Qstmdt tent Sort.
The press of the fc untry, republican
as well as <1 emoett itic, -e ans to he
very well pleeeed w ith the President s
action in bringing at least a part of
the consular service under the civil
service regu’ations. Leading papers
all regard tho action as a long step in
the direction of taking the govern
ment’s commercial agencies out of
partisan politics and there is no doubt
that th i payers refitv’t public senti
ment in tlif s matter.
N„w thf next, otfiees to he taken
out of politics arc the fourth-class post
masterships. It will la; conceded that
there is even more reasons why the
, postoftices should be i egsrded as busi
i nets iiistituiions, and’ not political
prizes, than why the coassulates should
be so regarded. Comparatively few
business interests i.i this country have
direct relations with our consels;
there, is scarcely a business interest in
the country that is not directly or in
directly the patron of the fourth-class
postoffices. The postotFice de art
ment and the civil sendee commission
are very much interested in bringing
the oflices under the full op ration of
tlie civil service law, and it is said to
he the opinion among well-informed
* persons in Washington that before
j the end of * m cui icnt administration
the actio:, accessary to that end will

Of the prescut U/ial there are some
20,0U0 that carry sc! l ies of less than
a year, and to I < t half of the re
iiuviuihy are -in. pl.t where there is
difficulty in tinil'i|g i competent and
reliable person who is willing to take
the office. This being true, it is ap
parent that when a competent person
lias been found for on of the offices,
ilisi pfrson should not he liable to re

litical heeler at the nest change of ad

It is sahl 4> fa; the policy of the post
office department to n|/j.sj}jfy tlie fourth
class office? in suburban'towns apd
villages ucar cities that have pyesiden
tial offices, as sub-statious of the city
offices. This will put them under the
civil service without further action,
and will give the suburban postoffice
