Cite ?fckum m? $MkwL ? ? T e? WEDNESDAY, OCT. 26, 1892. Cleveland and Civil Service* One of the roost creditable utter ances in Mr. Clcvland's letter is that bn the reform of the civil service. Machine politicians have long been predicting the decline of the civil ser vices reform movement, and they may have seen a promising symptom of the decline in the shabby treatment the reform cause received at the baud of the naticnal republican convention as well as in President Harrison's mani festo. But if they have rejoiced at ail. they have rejoiced too soon ; for Mr. Cleveland gives renewed evidence not only of his grasp of the essence as well as of the importance t>i the re form bat also of his r?solution; il elec ted president, to live up to his faith. And it may well be assumed, inas much as his influence with congress and hia party will no doubt be much greater during his second term of olBce than it was during his first, that his efforts will be productive of much larger results than they have been be fore.?Harper's Weekly. A Republican Opinion. Mr. Whitelaw ReM has been roaknig a great deal of fuss over the Democratic indictment of Republican protection as ^constitutional, and a number of small ?ry Republican orators have taken up the cry of their voice-presidentinal can didate. An apt answer to this el am or is to be fosnd in one of the most famous opinions ever handed down from tte supreme bench by that staunch Re publican, Justice Miller. He said : 'To lay with one hand the power ?f the government on the property of a citizen and with the other bestow it upon favored individuals to aid private enterprise and build up private fortanes, 58 none the less robbery because it is dose under the forms of law and is call ed taxation. This is net legislation. It is a decree under legislative forms Nor is it taxation. Beyond eavii there can be no lawful taxation which is no: laid for public purposes."?Atlanta Jounal. Congressman McCreary, who has spent two months in Visiting the doubt fa! States in the interest of the Democ racy, was in Washington last Wednes day. He says that the South is more folid than ever, and that this solidity has even been intensified by the can vass of Weaver and the trip of the Re publican emissary, Chris Magee, to Alabama. The Alliance folks in the South, he says, see that there is no chance of electing a Third party candi- j date., and as Cleveland represents iheui I on the tariff and in opposition to the ! force bill, while Harrisou is opposed to j them in everything, it is but natural that they will vote almost solidly for Cleveland. "The whole outlook, continued Mr. McCreary, **is favorable to Mr Cleveland, and I am cot uneasy about the result. I lee! confident that j{ _he will carrv New York bv not less than !1 SO 000 or 50-.000 majority, and from j 1 personal observation ic Indiana, ? j 1 would say that the State will sorely go ;( Democratic." Though Governor Tiliman has been in New York for some time now, and j I has been heard from many times j through the press of that city, we have j ? yet to hear that he has succeeded in ; \ placing the state bonds at a reasonable i ' ngure. As the expense of his joiifica- j i tion in the big city has to be met, iu j < part, by the "wool hat boys" who j J elected him, they would no doubt, be ? i glad to hear something about the bonds 1 ' as well as his views concerning the ! 1 Third party :-.nd his interview with Mr. ,' i Cleveland.?Florence Messenger. 11 ?? .<?- J ?

The world has ever room for the men of single eye and concentrated purposes, says the New York Observer. Its most lasting victories and most sigoal triumphs are achieved rather by the steady, persevering industry of the men of single aim than by those of varied purposes and countless designs. "This one thing I do/' was the exclamation of an apostle whose superhuman energy, whose uosweYviog perseverance, whose endurance in toil and suffering, in diffi culty and danger, for the cause he espoused, have been the mark and the marvel of the Christian church ever since There was no mistaking the purpose of PauFs iie. It was not man ifold or hydraheaded. It was single, definite and clear. --His consecration to Christ colored al! that he said and did. Iu different ways by varied means he ever sought to carry out the single aim. As an ambassador for Christ;' as though God did beseech men b| him, as though Christ were pleading with men and praying to them throogh bim to be reconciled to God, he spoke and labored He was in a sense all things to ail men, if by aoy means he might win some soul to Christ, but though the means varied the purpose never altered. Like a fis?rersaaa who changes his bait to suit the f>h or with the v::ying waters, but still pursues his caiiicg, so Paul, by all resources at his control, sought to win or beguile or persuade the souls about him till he had captured them for Christ. Paul was indisputably a man of one purpose and achieved magni? cent succe>s. Thete have been others like him since. If the.firmament of the church has shown no star quite so re splendent in glory and lustre, it has had others that have shone with a great brightness, in which the world has never ceased to rejoice. The testimony of their lives as we review them point* ever to one fact, namely, that he who would make a true success of any high and honorable tSort must give it a place io his own estimation. A man cau Dot have two leading purposes aod be as sured of the success of either. We properly speak of men being absorbed in their hu:>ine.>*s Most men of busi ness will claim that a thorough absorp tion in business is the price of success. In other words, success in business must be the leading purpose if it is to be strained. The business that is to prosper can not be relegated to an out of-the way corner. We might mention the names of hundreds of great men, gathering these names from all the avocatious, cf life, and show by all the histories represented by them bow thoroughly the achievements which have set the world wondering or made the world grateful, hare been the achieve ments of men of one great controlling aud constant purpose. In the sciences, in the arts, in diseovery, in philan thropy, iu the upholding and unfolding >f the gospel, only the men of one jootroiliug. design have laid their fellow tnen under bonds. Happy he who, through good report and ill report, though the chilling mists j? D?ght and the burning heats o? noon, hrough the din of conSict and in tb< piping times of peace when purpose is wore than ever iikdy to be shorn of its energy, can continue with z-;al and ievjtion to carry out the aim to which life bas beeu committed till the mould s made and the metal is'east, and the result is the world's. The world ?3 foil of men of many j liens and purposes. These aims and purposes rise in their tujn, radiant and aiubow tinted, first io be worshipped, "oiiowed for awhile, then ignored a?? ;ast aside, and so on tiil life's etory is a :eries of ci?-j'?o?ed resolutions and broken vows. Meanwhile a world of woe and want languishes, on helped so ar as such effort* arc concerned. There s no call for the men of a hundred purposes, none of which are to be car ied out. Such put poses are like seed 2090WU which never can come forth to harvest, Lut which iie fruitless and use css. a talent ic a napkiu. Bc-tfer the lacoful of bread that is cast upon fer i?zi?g waters than whole granaries of jrain that is kept from human touch There is ever a call prolonged aud loud, i call reiterated in every comer aud jrevice of our needy worid, for the :nen of a single purpose who put into ?hat brain aud brawn, heart and hand, and work, the design and benevolence of philanthropy, of usefulness, which so moves and stirs the soul within them It is purpose iu motion, purpose at work, purpose on wheel*, purpose on wiogs, for which the world calls. Iu the realm of business, in the church, iu the world of art, of science, in all de partments of life, is this true. In all. the many fail for want of purpose well dt'Sned and earnestly pursued, while the few succeed because they start with ai:n defined and steer urjcou:proaiisiugly for the goal.
