W. AKERS, of I.inn county. The Went Point Appeal deplores the fact that their town is to have another brass band, and nsks what have they done to deserve such pun ishment. tad ttio chance. The fact is, it is lot -the thing itself that is bad, but only the abuse of it, and so far as it is carried to an excess it should be reformed.

No doubt but it would be better if more of the public servants were elected instead of being appointed, but the appointing power is a power which officials will be very loth to surrender so long as they can retain it. The question is, have we any assurance that it would be better under the administration of ny other party? Past exp riance oes not answer in the affirmative. PLATFOltM. 1. We re-afllrm the Republican National platform of 1980, and Insist upon its en.

Oarflcld. and the National Administration upon the vigorous manner in -which It has undertaken to ferret out fraud and suppress extravagance in public expenditures, lo secure the per- sonnl and commercial rights nf our people abroad, to deal justly with tho Indian wards of tho Government, and upon tho conspicuous success of Its financial policy.

That we recognize railways as one nf the most potent agencies in our national progress, but one which by reason or its relation to the people, must he kept subordinate to the interests or the people, nnd within tho legislative control of Con- nnd the State. That lu the spirit of its usefulness it must bo dealt with In I'uirncss and without injustice.

But we are in accord witli the popular demand, that unquestionable legislative power "hull bo used to protect the people from any abuse and unjust exactions. 5. That tho plenary power of Congress over tho subject of patents should bo so exorcised as to protect tho people against the wrongs and abuses which have been developed and arc practiced under tho present system of laws relating to patent rights, nnd we ask our Senators and representatives In Congress to lend their best efforts toward the accomplishment of this cud, lj. That Iho position attained In our commerce by American meats and live animals demand the enactment of tRcctivc legislation by both the Nation and the States for the suppression ol such diseases iis arc calculated to interfere with this important feature of our fortign trade. 7.

That in pursuance or the uniform justice of the Republican party to observe the pledges ami perform tho promises made and given in Its platforms, we declare tUat the provisions in Iho platform or for the submission of tho prohibitory amendment of Iho Constitution of town, to a vote ol' the people at special mill nao-partizan election should be enforced, in oilier that the good faith of the party may be maintained, and that the people in thts government nf the people, iiy the people, ami for the people, may have an opportunity to express their ishc-t concerning the pending amendment, regardless of party ami with perfect freedom trom all party restraint and influence.

They don't seem to appreciate music in that town. Democratic papers arc not pleased because the senatorial fight in New York was settled amicably.

The next House of Representatives will stand, according to the Congressional Directory, as follows: Republicans, Democrats, 129; Greenbackers, Reajusters 2. There five republican vacancies and two democratic, and one of them, O'Connor of South Carolina, contested. From the above figures, it appears that the republicans will have ajclcar majority over all.

We hear a great deal now days about the spoils "system" from democratic sources. Perhaps it might not be amiss to investigate that system a little and find where it came from. It is tho most natural thing in the world for a man when elected to offiofl to reward his friends, the men who helped him obtain that office, by distributing among them tho patronage that may be at his disposal; and the most unatural thing to suppose that he would distribute'that patronage to his opponents and there by give tlm opposition a better chance to work against him. Tho system is the natural outgrowth of our form of government and was instituted and fostered by the democratic party and has been continued by the republican party who found it in operation when they came into power in 1801. In fact it was a necessity at that time as every department of the government service was prcvadcd by treason and had to be replaced by men whose loyalty could bo depended upon.

As fur back as the day of Jackson it was considered good democratic doctrine that "to the victor belongs the spoils," and the system always has been prac- tised by that party and will be again if it ever is so fortunate as to get into power. The denunciation of that system comes with a bad grace from a party that always used it when in power and would again if they 1 1 1 Be Ye Undeceived 1881. Hie Tlic "Spoils System" Theory, A great deal of cheap logic has cen aired in the attempt to prove hat the "spoils system" is solely re ponsible for the assassination ol 'resident Gorfield. The "spoils sys cm" is no doubt bad enough and ms evils enough of its own to bear without being charged with responsibilities of tho most remote and limsy character. Undoubtedly Juitteau was a duappointed seeker after office, but there is no plausible reason to suppose this was the cause of his assault on the President.

If such was tho case why did he nol assassinate the president of tho Boston Insurance Company who refused give him employment? He ust as much a seeker after a place the employ of that company as he was for an official position under the government. Why did he not assassinate the chairman of lecture commit- because they refused to engage him? If he had done so, would i not have been considered ridiculous to say that the murder was really caused by the systems of life insurance and the methods adopted by ecturo committees? Yet there would have been precisely as much reason for such belief as for the widely repeated declaration that the 'spoils system" is virtually responsi lo for tho assassination since it en couraged Gittcau to seek for an office ie was unable to get, and thus turnec )is insane rage against the President The same reasoning would argue he should have assassinated some of the numerous boarding housi ccepors who ejected him from thci establishment. Guittenu onoo trice vain to get position under Mr Moody as an assistant revivalist. lie was decorated with a huge rosette and carried a baton, both of which were taken away from him by Mr. Moody, who also had him put out of the house.

Why did he not assassinate Mr. Moody? In both of these instances he had just as much reason to avenge himself by assassination as in the case of the President. Indeed, he had more, since' in these cases he was personally affronted and insulted. As for his office seeking, he never received encouragement from any person. Senator Logan refused to giyc him an endorsement.

Why did he net assassinate him? But as a convincing reply to the "spoils theory" idoa it is not necessary to stato that the President had never refused to give Guitcau an office. Ho never had an interview with the President, and, so far as he knew, his chances for getting an office were just as good on the day of the assassination as they had been at any time before. If Guiteau had been holding an office and 'been discharged just before tho assassination, or if he had been directly refused a position by the President and had immediately drawn his revolver and fiied, it might be argued that the act had some connection with the "spoils system." But even then it would have just the some connection with it that it would with the business of life insurance in case Guiteau had shot the president of the insurance company that refused employment. The plain truth is that the assassination was not the "natural consequence" of the "spoils system" or the "natural consequence" of any thing else unless such a result can be affirmed of a crazy brain'or inherent deviltry. Still it remains true that the National disease of office-seeking furnished this outlet for Gniteau's madness! Ho had been living in the place hunting atmosphere of Washington, where the fever for office rages like a virulent epidemic.

He had just that mixture of deviltry and insanity that made him siexo on every excitement wherever it happened to be. Crazy over religion in one place, he could only become crazy over office-seeking in Washington. That the "spoils system" was the direct cause of the assassination we cannot believe, but it con hardly be questioned that it furnished an outlet for the madness of Guiteau, whatever may have been the inspiring cause of his act.

A German journalist named Herr Johinn Most, has been convicted, in England, of publishing articles intended to incite the assassination of rulers, and sentenced to sixteen months imprisonment at hard labor.

The Judge, in passing sentence, said: 'After a patient trial, you have been found guilty of a willful, knowing and deliberate intention to incite to murder, and to that offense the laws of England has affixed a grave pun" shmont; it has affixed the punish- shment of hard labor in addition to imprisonment. It may be said that in addition to being a grave offense, is a very cowardly one, because it may be that a man, himself safe under tho shield of a free and great people, sitting at home at ease, may ncite others to run into fearful dangers which he himself avoids and in- lite them to the cominision of a de- estiblc crime, which he himself shrinks from attempting. I cannot doubt that in this case you seriously ntended to incite to murder, and but for the recommendations of tho ury to mercy, I would feel it my duty to send yon into penal servitude. parties Lave been trying to give yov the impression we were going to leave lie-re, because we were opening out our other store. 4,11 Moravia, under the firm name of H.
