A GUARANTEED SAVIN tics, or to eradicate the inclination to make public office the reward of partisan fidelity, but it is entirely possible to hold that inclination in check and to remove the vast body of subordinate employes beyond the reach of the spoilsmen. Whatever is wrong must go. That is the law of God and the teaching of the progress of civilization. And the spoils system, as it is commonly understood, is wrong.

Corporation Advertising Again. In an article to day the Eagle shows how needlessly wordy and repetitious corporation advertising is and how it can be condensed and ought to bo. A number of liko corporation advertisements, appearing just as they are, in juxtaposition with such a condensation of them as states every necessary fact in them tell the story at a glance. The reduction of the corporation advertisements to such limits as they ought to observe would benefit the local government, enlighten and gratify read ders and relieve the crowded columns of the Eaole and the Brooklyn Times, papers which have a just cause of complaint because of the prodigious and unnecessary verbosity of the present style. The local officials and the business representatives of newspapers ought to have no difficulty in bringing about such an easy and practical reform now that the Eagle has shown how to do it.

The bill at Albany on corporation advertising not only does not provide for such a reform, but practically makes it impossible. That bill provides that the rate of pay shall be per line, the rate to be fixed by the Aldermen. It was gotten up by two papers which are so poor that they seek advertisements at less than a cent a line, and so ill thought of that they cannot get them at that price, or even for nothing, unless they steal them out of the Eaole, after they have first appeared here, which they constantly do, in order to "fill up" and to make a sham show of business. Not only that, but they carry the few advertisements gotten by them, a considerable time after the number of insertions ordered has been complied with, going to press, as the printers put it, "filled with dead matter" or lapsed advertisements. Yet they had the amusing impudence to complain at Albany of the encroachments of the.

present system on their space just as tho two funny thieves in "Erminie" complain, in their prison rags, of the carelessness of their tailors. Tho bill was designed by them to strike the city through the Aldermen for 10 cents a line for official advertisements, the number of lines to be made as many as possible, to start with, and then to be counted, in tho way John Delmar and John F. Noeson counted tho folios in the County Clerk's office bills. Tho death of the Grab bill at Albany is the first stop and the essential step to such a reform and condensation of official advertising here as the Eagi.b to day shows should and con be made at once.

He will soon be out of office. If he perseveres in his missionary labors he will have to do so on his own hook, despite the restoration of the Republicans to Federal control. To the truly good his unhappy end conveys the reminder that even the ornaments of society are liable to be tarnished by contact with the seamy side of life. But how the unconverted in North Carolina and Virginia will ohuekle over his discomfiture! They may indeed, with the strange perversity which often distinguishes the irreolaimable, go right on voting the Democratic ticket until the clouds roll by and the sunlight of victory once more shines upon the Jeffersonian banner. A CnttlcSi.il "Argument." The defenders of the Corporation Advertising grab who appeared before the Senate and Assembly Cities Committees were obliged to hide the design of the bill under a pretense of wanting what the bill did not call for and exactly what they did not desire.

They all pretended that really what they wanted was to save space. "There ifl nothing here that has to do with the saving of space," Mr. Crosby remarked sharply to one of them. "It involves the saving of space." "Why not go the city authorities and make them do it now We havo gono to the city authorities for three years past and instead of tho amount diminishing it has increased. It has been a matter of continual complaint on the part of tho nowspapera.

We have exhausted every means trying to get it reduced, hut wo have not boon ablo to get it. Now we seek a modification which will not increase the cost, but will compel them to give tho redress we seel; by making thorn curtail tho expense or pay for it." There is not a 'word of truth in that statement. On the contrary, it is well lyiown to tho authorities that the paper thus represented published column after column of corporation advertisements loug after the time of publication had expired. This was done to save composition and to fill up the paper economically. Its own files prove the fact.

If any influence has been used with the authorities by the pushers of the Steal bill, it has been to inflate the bulk of advertisements in order to make an excuse for the attempt to increase, the amount paid. Taxpayers will await with justifiable concern, result of the proceedings to invalidate the assessment for grading and paving Fourth avenue. The amount, involved is nearly 1,000,000. If the assessment shall be shown not to have been laid in conformity with law, this amount will be saddled on the city at large. An addition of this magnitude to our municipal burdens would suggest gross carelessness in the past, either on the part of the Legislature or of the Board of Assessors.

The regretted death of Excise Commissioner Cunningham to whose direct and upright character duo justice has been done imposes on the Mayor the appointment of a successor. A man who would co operate with James D. Bell in the Board of Excise, as Mr. Cunningham's illness disenabled him from doing, would be a valuable gain to the city and to the Democracy now, for the errors of Schlie mannisin the errors of a man who means well, but doesn't know how are a load tho party can throw off none too soon to win back the public. The Supervisor at Large makes a dignified and comprehensive statement of his relation to the County Farm bill in to day's Eagle.

It will be read with interest by taxpayers and politicians aud it deals with every point in the case. The admirable moderation in which it is keyed is an example and a lessen for tho other disputants, to whom the aphorism is commended that he who ends by losing his temper began by losing his case. Intending Easter church goers can read the programmes of Easter Music in Brooklyn churches, in to day's Eagle. The bill to let a commission inquire about Annexation has passed the Assembly. Tho bill names some venerable, some excellent and some mediocre men to say nothing of others where they are so well understood and if they examine any Brooklynites, they will learn why annexation should not occur.

As it will not occur until Brooklyn votes in favoi of it, it will not trouble this generation or the next. Supervisor Anderson was made the conduit of resolutions about "Pharisaical Posing relates to posture. Posture had less to do with the Pharisees than imposture. By the will of the late William J. Syms, of New York, which was filed yesterday, the sum of $350,000 is left to Roosevelt Hospital for the erection and maintenance of an "operating theater." The new building will be erected at a cost of $150,000, and the remainder of the sum will be devoted to support.

The bequest is a most generous one, and carries its own commendation of the public spirit of Mr. Syms. Benjamin Staunton has been made a "Congregational pastor" out in Wyoming. They are not particular about pastors out there. They aro not so particular about arrears of alimony on here as they might be else Staunton woidd never have been let pass the limits of the county.

Mr. George Jones, of the Nrw York Times. is conducting himself with arbitrary courage in his State Senate rulings. Come to think of it, Edward F. Jones is the man, but Mr.

George Jones is quite as responsible for him as John Wanamaker is for William Wana maker. Mr. Whitelaw Reid announces very quietly his retirement from tho editorship and direction of the Tribune, he "having accepted offico, under the Government, abroad." It is expected Mr. Nicholson will become the editor and Mr. Bowers the managing editor.

Mr. Reid will have the best wishes of newspaper men for his happy return. PERSONAL MENTION. gROOKLYN, ONE WEEK ONLY, PUTNAM AND SUMNER AVENUES, COMMENCING MONDAY. APRIL 23.

An Important lentca Event In Iiake'a P. E. C'burcln. St. One of the greatest musical subjects produced in the churches of the City of Brooklyn during Lent, in which musical circles are deeply interested, was "The Crucifixion," a recent composition by Dr.

Stainor, in which the snbjeot is worked out with the greatest dramatio effects possible in churoh music. The work was obtained exclusively by St Luke's Episcopal Church on Clinton avenue, especially for Lent, and was produced entire last Wednesday evening, under the direction of Dr. W. H. Woodcock, choirmaster, assisted by Professor E.

V. Hand, of St. Paul's Chnrch, Garden City, the associate organist. The books were receivod from Eualandbut a few days before the beginning of Lent and but one fnll rehearsal was given. In introducing the' piece the rector called attention to the fact that "it appeals to the mind as thinking by note on tho greatest of all subjects, the crucifixion of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ," adding that those who did not appreciate this faot, and proposed to come as to a concert had better have remained away.

The effect of its rendition was improssive, it boing Buiigwith a piaintivo precision and rare devotional power. It has created considerable interest among the choirmasters throughout the city, many of whom were invited to St. Luke's Church at a full private rehearsal previously given, to hear it, and it will probably be rendered on a future occasion by request. The great chorus in tho first part. "Unfold yo tho Gates," was extremely difficult and involvod much training.

Its rendition was pronounced admirablo. Othor parts of the work wero equally strong and inspiring. The rector is more than pleased with the reception accorded the piece on Wednesday evening by the immense audienco that filled the church. THE PRICE OF FLAGS ADVANCING. Demand Exceeds tho Supply A Ccntcu niai Room.

The display of American bunting in this city during tho Centennial carnival will be unpreco danted, for nearly every building public and private will bo decorated. A well known dealer in flags this morning said: "The vastness of tho parado, tho interest taken iu the celebration of tho anniversary of the inauguration of George Washington as tho first President of the United States, and the millions of strangers who will bo domicilod in both cities during the three days' festivities were not thought of as they desorved three months ago. Tho flag dealers who made a corner in tho national buut ing will reap a rich harvest by what some people might have termed a risk. The price of flags has raised 40 per cent, in the last week, and what they will sell for next week will be very hard to guoss at to day. Flag3 that sold for H.oO aro now disposed of rapidly at $0, aud this fact alone Bhows the interest that is taken in tho Centennial." "What are the real causes for the advance in prices "What I havo just statodis one canso, but tho principal 0110 is that tho domand is greater than the supply." What will bo the genoral ruling of prices? "That depends in a great measure on the supply.

The factory hands aro working day and night, but the call for bunting is so great that wo may not be ablo to meet tho emorgoncy. Tho prico now is 1 a foot. That is, a 4x7 flag is Belling for $7, a 6x10, $10, and an 8x12, $12." Mr. Frederick Curren, of Fnlton street and Bed Hook lane, will decorate tho City Hall and the Municipal Building, April DO.

The ceremonies in commemoration of the Crucifixion of our Lord were observed yesterday under circumstances full of suggestion to the skeptical and worldly minded and full of consolation for the spiritually orthodox and devout. If there are any who believe that a time is coming when the paschal lamp will cease toburn and the office of the Tenebrce oeasy to be chanted in remembrance of the death of Jesus of Nazareth, they could derive no support for such a belief from the scenes witnessed in the cities of New York and Brooklyn on the Good Friday just passed.

Those scenes were a sufficient testimony to the vitality of Christian doctrine and the devotion of the Christian worshiper. The spectacle in its unusual proportions seemed like a premeditated demonstration to let the world know that the assaults of modern wise men on the citadel of Faith had increased rather than diminished the host of believers. Not only liturgical churches, but churches non liturgical and communities not classified as apostolic called out their armies of witnesses, not only to the indestructibility, but to the conquering energies of the religion of Christ. The lesson of this Good Friday is expressed in the significance we have attached to it. From the day when Constantiue ordered the market places of Home to be closed on the anniversary of the Sacrifice of Calvary the banner of the cross has been borne from victory to victory, and, unless all signs fail, its career through the centuries to conn; is to be an increasingly triumphant one.

The manner in which the present occasion was observed is entitled to all the emphasis that can be given it. A famous agnostic has called the last half of the nineteenth century a "transition era," meaning thereby that the human mind is lotting go the cherished convictions of the past and preparing to accept new ideas and a new creed. So far as that proposition relates to matters lying within the domain of science it is true. So far as it implies that the human mind ia getting ready to discard the religion of Jesus Christ the overwhelming evidence is that it is not true. The shock with which the timid received the hypothesis of evolution has yielded to a dispassionate examination of the claims and bearings of that hypothesis.

Men who trembled when it was first proclaimed accept it now without violence to their religious convictions. The truth it certifies contains the higher truth that Science and Religion aro friends not enemies. We who believe that Christianity is the inspiration of God no longer need to be told that there can be no conflict between the laws of God that dominate the visible world and those that pertain to the spiritual nature of a man. The faithful can read the testimony of the rocks, the story of the stars, the translation of the hitherto inscrutable scroll revealed by the microscope, without apprehension of discovering any tiling fatal to the essential elements of Christian belief. Christ and His atonement are not less ere di ble because of the revelations of inductive science.

The probability that the laws and properties of matter were incarnate in the original fire mist and that the whole marvelous panorama of the universe is but the product of orderly and inevitable changes in the relations of molecules and atoms, presents no obstacle to a devout or rational acceptance of the spiritual truths of the Bible. So to day we record it as a fact that science has ceased to be the bogy it was when Darwin shook the world with the wondrous tale of the secrets he had mastered. The Rubicon has been passed, and the Christian treads the newly gained shore more confident and joyful than ever. That is why our Christmas festivals are celebrated from year to year with growing zeal why our fast days and Saints' days are attracting hosts of neophytes why all the feasts of the calendar and all the ceremonies appointed as tokens of man's acknowledgment of the divine mission of the Sufferer of the Cross are observed with freshly kindled devotion. Christianity is on the rebound from the fears begotten of the teachings of science.

Apparent contradictions have been reconciled. Doubtful points have been made clear under higher lights. The truth of God in Nature is seen to be entirely harmonious with the truth of God in the human heart and with the precious promises of the Written Word. There is rt visible progress toward firmer and wider reassertion of the doctrine of salvation through Jesus Christ. Science, so far from destroying the temple, has reinforced its foundations.

The torch of material knowledge discloses facts that fortify the spiritual verities. Reason and faith aro verging to a perfect reconciliation and all signs indicate the coming of a day when every vestige of skepticism shall have disappeared and when the kingdom of God shall be the universal kingdom. A Model Public Servant. Postmaster Pearson, of New York, died this morning at the residence of his father in law, ex Postmaster General James, at Highwood, N. J.

His career is as perfect an example as can be adduced of the curriculum which the principle of civil service reform aims to establish. He entered the office a mere lad and at the time of his death he was at the head of it. He had a perfect knowledge of all the details of the business. In nearly every department he had seen actual service. There was not a branch as to the operations of which he was incapable of exercising a practical judgment.

He had experienced the necessity of every important change in or addition to, the machinery of the system for the past quarter of a century. There is not probably on the entire roster of the Civil Service tp day the name of a public official who possesses in a greater degree the exact and technical knowledge which is justly esteemed by reformers the strongest recommendation au applicant for office can have. Mr. Pearson was not, however, the creator of the system which he so admirably administered. That honor belongs to Thomas L.

James, a man whose executive abilities were never developed until Eoscoe Conkling took bin Nos him out of ithe Custom House and made him ostmastpf. One of his first official acts was to raise Mr. Pearson to the rank of his assistant. He may be said to have recreated the office, so radical, so comprehensive, so important were the changes he introduced. But it deserves to be said that while Mr.

James possessed the originality and furnished the ideas in accordance with which the modifications were made Mr. Pearson proved au invaluable aid and counselor to him. The latter had what Mr. James, at the date of his appointment, had not, precise information as to all the conditions with which lie was called upon to deal. The two men worked together with a common spirit and a common purpose.

The product of their joint efforts was the beat manned, the best equipped, the best managed Post Office in the United States. Almost the last words which Mr. Pearson uttered were: "I have spent my life fighting the spoils system and it grieves me to know that those for whom I have fought have misunderstood me." Tho drift of public sentiment makes it certain that the system which Mr. Pearson represented and the spirit of which is embodied in Mr. Cleveland's declaration that public office is a public trust, will at no distant day be firmly established.

By order of the Common Cdunoil, dated Brooklyn, March 18. 1880. JOHN P. ADAMS, Commissioner of Oity I Attost: 0, Nohthu'p, BeortUrr, 101 A mighty Blaze. People living on the west side of the City of New York above Fifty ninth street awoke this morning to find the streets and sidewalks and door steps covered with cinders and ashes.

It was as if some volcano had been busy during the night filling the atmosphere with its fiery sputa. At a distance of three miles from the scene of the actual conflagration the ground was littered with charred particles that had been borne on the currents of the air from the burning elevators and freight yards of the New York Central Railroad on the North River. The tire was discovered about o'clock in the afternoon and by 7 P. M. throe entire blocks were enveloped in the flames.

The spectacle was magnificent and it cost between $4,000,001) and $5,000,000 to get it up. Residents of Hunter's Point and the neighborhood of the Standard Company's tanks have an idea that that section can supply bigger bonfires than any contiguous region. That this idea is a delusion the affair of last evening shows. All who witnessed the blazing of the building occupied by tho Wilcox Lard and Refining Company can testify that for I grand and imposing effects lard goes way ahead of Pennsylvania oil. There is not so much smoke attending the combustion, but for illuminating capacity lard is simply prodigious.

The descriptions of the sight, published in tho morning papers, vivid as they are, give but a very imperfect impression of it. There has never before been such a spectacle in that part of New York. Moat fortunate was it that the doomed structures were not surrounded by buildings and that a southerly breeze was blowing at tho time. Had the wind been from the west or northwest the flames would have been swept over a densely populated tenement district, and a great loss of life would have been almost inevitable. The courage and skill of the New York firemen were again illustrated, and many of the exciting incidents of the fire gave scarcely needed proof that the department has plenty of the stuff of which heroes arc made.

ull of itliskionary. Colonel William P. Canady, a nativo North Carolinian, served with distinction in the Confederate army. After tho war he lost no time in becoming reconstructed. His reformation went so far that he was prevailed upon to accept, at tho hands of a Republican Administration, the snv.g office of Collector of Customs at Wilmington.

Not content with the prosaic occupation of collecting duties and drawing, with commendable alacrity, the comfortable salary appertaining to his place. Colonel Canady entered upon a missionary career. The aim of his benevolent purpose was to bring the debatable Southern States out of the wet of Democratic unrighteousness into the shelter of Republican virtue. In pursuit of his philanthropic policy the colonel began operations on his benighted neighbors of the Tar Heel Commonwealth. Expanding with the emotion which finds lodgment only in the bosoms of the truly good, ho also gave ear to the Macedonia) cry of Mahone and crossed over into Virginia to that fragrant apostle of political sweetness and light.

So aggressive were Colonel Canady's assaults on the wicked Democrats that he attracted the approving notice of the Republican leaders in the United States Senate. Recognizing his merits as a bearer of glad tidings to the heathen, they hastened to bestow a becoming reward. Consequently, Colonel Canady soon found himself translated to the elysium of statesmanship. He was promoted to be Sergeant at Arms of the Senate. In that exalted station the colonel found abundant occupation for his talents.

Among the children of darkness who persisted in voting the Democratic ticket he continued to labor with a fervor not inferior to the enthusiasm displayed by the Salvation Army. But this did not comprise the full scope of his usefulness. His missionary work was supplemented by efforts to lasso uncertain African delegates in support of the Hon. John Sherman's pretensions to the Presidency. In his endeavors to corral the dusky brother moderate success attended him.

It was only after the dusky brother arrived at Chicago last June and came in contact with General Alger's corpulent and freely flowing barrel, that tho confidence of Canady suffered impairment. Notwithstanding the shock to Sherman and the collapse of Canady as a purveyor of delegates, the missionary efforts begun for Sherman were promptly renewed in behalf of Harrison. North Carolina and Virginia, despite his efforts, were carried for Cleveland, but Colonel Canady pointed with pride to their reduced Democratic majorities, and felt happy. Unfortunately for his reputation as a moral reformer, the character of the colonel has been ruthlessly assailed. It appears from the papers in a suit begun against him in North Carolina that he is given to occasional lapses into worldly ways.

In one of these lapses he carried with him some other eminent moralists, including tho gifted Mahone, Senator John P. Jones, ex Senator Warner Miller and that paragon of manly beauty, the Hon. George West, of Ballstou. These gentlemen, willing to turn an honest penny in a legitimate speculation, were persuaded to take stock in the California Oil and Creosote Company, of which Colonel Canady was president. In the action brought by them they charge the colonel with divers fraudulent practices, unbecoming in a missionary, whether in Timbuctoo or North Carolina.

He is accused of conspiracy, the illegal hypothecation of stock and general betrayal of the interests of his colleagues. Appearances are dreadfully against the colonel. His downfall is apparently complete. Expos Queen Nutalio Iuib decided to return Servia. The Codman will contest in Boston lias been settled, JIrn.
