The Victor and the Spoilt. In the recent election over 13, 60,000 votes were cast, and of the 7,065,000 who voted for the win ning ticket probably a million have hopes, more or less defined, of get ting offices under the new adminis tration. At the lowest calculation these office-seekers will number hundreds of thousands, and the worst of it is that they do not realize that, with very few exceptions, their strivings and their efforts will be more than wasted, ior not one in a hundred of them will get a place. It is curious to find that the people generally have yet to recog nize the quiet but almost complete extension of the civil-service law, and have yet to know that, not satisfied with what has been done, the friends of the civil-service move ment are already pteparing legis lation that will absolutely banish annitq froi evry dpsrtincnt cf the government except the legislative, this exception affecting only the nine hundred employes of congress. Civil-service reform began with Grant, although it was not made practical in its early stages. The movement struggled along until 1883, when the first civil-service commission was appointed. Presi dent Arthur made the question a vital issue, and was the first to fully establish it. Cleveland fol lowed in his footsteps, and under Harrison and the able members of his cabinet the merit system be came a fact in this government. In these thirteen years a revolu tion has been accomplished. The figures are most astonishing. All officers appointed "by and with the consent of the senate" are exempt from the operations of the civil service laws, and these, in fact, constitute about the only spoils to which the victors may turn. The civil-service commissioners' in a statement made since the election, assert that there are at present in the departmental service of the United States eighty-five thousand employes, and of these only seven hundred and eighty-one are exempt from the civil-service laws, nearly all of those exemptions being con fidential or peisonal in their nature, such, for instance, as private secre taries. Under the old system the new secretary of the treasury in McKinley's cabinet would have the distribution of something like forty thousand offices, but under civil service he will have exactly two appointments, his confidential sec retary and one other. Within three years President Cleveland's orders have brought forty-two thousand offices under the civil service laws. Not content with this, it is now announced from Washington that an effort will be made to appoint the collectors and postmasters, like the federal judges,. during good be havior, and if this should be done it would make the merit system practically universal. The only opportunities for the spoilsmen now are in the foreign service, but even here civil service has begun iu work, because Presi dent Cleveland not very long ago promulgated new regulations pro viding that in all consular positions paying from one thousand to twenty-five hundred dollars there should be examination before ap pointment. It can thus be seen that the spoils are reduced to al most nothing in comparison with the demands. And it should be added that the law has provided against all of those schemes and evasions which were formerly em ployed to circumvent it and get the faithful into office. The change next March will, therefore, be a change of adminis trations, but there will be few changes in the working torces of the government. Islie'i Weekly. The Washington County Hatchet is sending marked copies of its issues all over the state. These marked copies contain long, hysteri cal rhapsodies of Senator Mitchell, and calls upon the legislature to organize at once and proceed to re-elect the Honorable J. H. It incidentally calls the Oregonian a liar, and several other bad names, all because that paper will not join in its wild shrieks for action. The Hatchet should take some soothing syrup, or it may get too hot and lose its edge. It should also re member that it is only one a step from the sublime to the ridiculous, and it takes a pretty fine mind to judge which the following extract from the Hatchet's highflown ar ticle belongs: "Our states in colossal order stand from the east, where the star of liberty was first heheld, unto the west where the sunberms at the dying of the day paint their sad imagery upon the mighty gates to our peaceful ocean Sualcs, Fiuiu lue north, where the lakes are like mirrors unrolled, to the southland, where the beautiful summer is born, they stand in awful grandeur dressed, proud of tneir Heritage ot great meu. " The refusal of the republi cans to ratify his (the editor of the Oregonian) nefarious schemes and puiposes, coupled with an inter position of Divine Providence, may avert the accomplishment of the ruin of the republican party in the state of Oregon. It is fortunate that citizens of all political parties have discovered that the editor of The Oregonian is a creature bereft of feelings of that degree of shame and that dread of retribution which would ordinarily restrain a common highwayman from open acts of re proach alike to conscience and public morality." And in spite of all that, the Oregonian still lives. If the mortem crp rnv law and tVio O O " " - t ..... . 1 iaw exempting inaeDteaness be not re-enacted this year, it will not be because no bills will be introduced to that end by members of the legis lature. There are no less than seven members with bills prepared on this subject. A local in the Salem Statesman says: "Marshal Dilley has made! up his mind to rid the city of a lot of worthless fellows who have been ! making themselves conspicuous of; late." We'll bet that Salem mar-1 shal has his eve on that fatA1 legislature. Notice for Publication. Land Offle at Oregon City. Orepon, January 6, 1877.

It is too late to get an Abstract of Title to a piece of land after you have bought it and iound out that there are judgements and tax liens against it. The Proper thing to do is to have the LINCOLN COUNTY ABSTRACT COMPANY, of Toledo, make you an Abstract of Title before investing your money. A business man now days never buys real estate without first obtaining evidence of a good title. We warrant our work to be absolutely correct. Address. Crosno & Peairs. C. B.
