The Survival of the Fittest.
WAYNF.KHOHO. GA.. JAN. 2, lKKTi.
ANNO DOMINI 1885.
The old year is dead! It lias gone
with all its advertnent, its failures
and Its successes. It was an event
ful year. The political world has
been agitated—surprised. It is pain
ful to chronicle the flight of time
which brings many nearer the grave
without that preparation which is
necessary to meet that eternal exis
tence beyond the shores of Time.—
The flowers of 1884 came, they
bloomed and died. The blossoms
of 1635 will come and go. The birds
twittered as they sawod on the top
most spray of the wavering branch
in 1884—they will do so in 1885.—
But who of us will remain to listen
to their sweet music in 1886? The
world moves whether dies the auto
crat or the peasant. No man is so
necessary to the Diety that his death
can bo considered in the great econ
omy of the universe. Then, let us
remember that man in his highest
estate is but a worm, and forgive
those who have wronged us, and
try to be more human, that 1886
may find us better than we are now

The following correspondence ex
plains itself, and plainly indicates
that Governor Cleveland is deter
mined to be his own boss. It is
said by some that he will be another
Andrew Jackson, and ifthat is true,
‘‘by the Eternal” we are content:
National Civil Service Reform
League, Office 4 Pine Street,
New York, December 20, 1884.—
Hon. Grover Cleveland-Sir: We
• have the honor to address you on
behalf of the National Civil Service
Reform league, an association com
posed of citizens of all parties,
whose solo purpose is indicated by
its name, and which takes no part
whatever in party controversary.—
The vast increase in the number of
parsons engaged in the civil service,
and the grave mischiefs and dan
gers arising from the general pros
cription in the service which, for a
half century, has followed the
change of party control of the na
tional administration, have produc
ed so profound an impression upon
the public mind that the first effec
tive steps toward reform were taken
with the co-operation of both par
ties, in the passage of the reform
act of January 16th, 1883. The abuses
which this act seeks to correct, how
ever, are so strongly entrenched in
the traditions add usages of both
parties that there is naturally a
wide feeling of anxiety lest the par
ty coming into national executive,
should show them to be insurpass
able, but believing as we do, thattho
reformed system cannot bo held to
be securely established until it has
safely passed the ordeal of such par
ty change, and recalling with satis
faction and confidence your public
expressions favorable to reform,and
your oflicial acts as chief executive
of the state of New York, wo con
fidently commend this cause to your
patriotic care, in the exercise of the
groat power with which the Amerl
can people have intrusted you.
Respectfully yours,
Geo. Wm. Curtis, President.
mb. Cleveland’s reply.
President-elect Cleveland’s reply
is as follows:
Albany, N. Y., Dec. 25, 1884.
Hon. Geo. Wm. Curtis, president
etc.—Dear Sir: Your communlca
tion dated December 20th, address
ed to mo on behalf of the National
Civil Service Reform league, has
been received. That a practical re
form in civil service is demanded
is abundantly established by the
faet that the statute, referred to in
your communication, to secure such
a result has been passed in congress
with the assent of both political par
ties, nnd by tho further fact that
there is generally prevalent among
patriotic people an idea calling for
a fair and honest enforcement of the
law, which has been thus enacted.
I regard myself pledged to this, be
cause my conception of true demo
cratic faith and public duty requires
that this and nil other statutes
should, in good faith nnd without
evasion, be onforced, and because in
Inany utterances made prior to my
election as president, approved by
the party to which I belong, and
which I have nq disposition to dis
claim, I havo in affect promised the
people that this should be done.
THE SPOILS SYSTEM CONDEMNED
I am not unmindful of the fact, to
which you refer, that many of our
citizens fear that the recent party
change in tho national executlv
may demonstrate that abuses which
have grown up In the civil servlco
are Ineradicable. I know that there
are deoply rooted, and that tho
spoils system lias been supposod to
• bo intimately related to success in
the maintenance of party organiza
tion, and ! am not sure that all those
who profosH to be friends of this re
form will stand firmly among Its
advocates when they find it obstruct
ing their way to patronage and
place. But fully appreciating tho
trust committed to my charge, no
.such consideration shall cause a re
laxation on my part of an earnest
effort to enforce this law.
TERM APPOINTMENTS SHOULD NOT
BE DISTURBED.
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 tho
removal therefrom of the present
incumbents, in my opinion, should
not be made during the term for
which they were appointed, solely
on partisan 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 forfeited all just claim to re
tention, because they have used
their places for party purposes, in
disregard of their duty to public
servants, they have proved them
selves offensive partisans and un
scrupulous manipulators of local
party management. The lesson of
the past should bo unlearned, and
such officials, as well as their suc
cessors, should be taught that effici
ency, fitness and devotion to duty
are the conditions of their continu
ance in public place, and that the
juiet and obtrusive exercise of in
dividual political rights is the rea
sonable measure of their party ser
vice.
FAITHFUL l’ARTY WORK FUEFER-
RED TO.
If I were addressing none but
party friends, I should deem it en
tirely proper to remind them that
—though tho coming administration
is to be democratic—a due regard
for the people’s interest does not
permit faithful party work to be al
ways rewarded by appointment to
office, and to say to them that while
democrats may expect all proper
consideration, tho selections for of
fice not embraced within the civil
service rules will bo based upon
sufficient inquiry as to fitness in
stituted by those charged with that
duty, rather than upon persistent
importunity of self solicited recom
mendations on behalf of candidates
for appointment.
Yours very truly,
Grover Cleveland.

We |are not apprised of the ne
cessities or resources of the con
ference, but it does seem to us that
the “laborers are few” when the
vast field in which they labor is
considered. The work, to be well
done, is too great for the number of
ministers employed in it, and some
way should be found to rest the
over-worked, itinerant Methodist
preacher.
The Savannah Times has come to

handsome eight page form, beauti
fully printed and full to the margin
with news. It has taken its place
in the front rank of the leading

ulate brother Richardson upon this
evidence of tho success of his pro
gressive journal.
The following are the terms of
the new tax bill passed at the late
session of the legislature:
General rates three-tenths of one
per cent.
Poll tax *
Lawyers, doctors and dent
ists
Photographers, etc.
Auctioneers (for each coun
ty)
Billiard tables, etc.
Ten pin alleys
Venders of patent medi
cines, Jewelry, soap, paper,
et<i (for each county)
Insurance agents (each
county)
Matrimonial associations
agents (each county)
Each emigrant agent
Peddlers in boats (each
county)
Lightning rodpeddlers
Musical instrument dealers
Shows and exhibitions (ex
cept musical dramatic,
etc., and side-shows
Each circus per day
Liquor dealers
Sewing machine peddlers
Dealers in pistols, etc., (In
cluding toy pistols)
Each bufiket shop for deal
ing in futures
Safe dealers
Dealers in buggies, wagons,
etc.
(This is supposed to include
only peddlers, and is for
each county in which they
do business,)
Peddlers of stoves, etc.
Insurance companies one
per cent on all policies re
ceived
Express, telephone, tele
graph and sleeping car
companies one per cent,
of their gross receipts.
Wholesale dealers in sew
ing machines
[The above tax act is, to say tho
least of it, very indefinite, and with
etceteras and “supposings” will cer
tainly breed difficulties between tax
receivers and tax payors. What a
tax receiver may think a proper
“etcetera,” a tax payer may think
to mean something else. If there
is one law more than another which
should be plain and unmistakable
in its terms, that law should bo the
tax law. Wo do not know that the
above is the exact text of the tax
act passed at the late session of tho
legislature, but if it is, it should he
amended at the coming summer
session and made more explicit in
its terms.
