CAPTURE OF GANG OF BURGLARS AT JAMAICA
Acting upon information furnished by the burglar
Francisco Bouge arrested at Jamaica on Sunday
night last while In the act OF stealing horse from
the stable Of Mr.. Henry Conklin in the above village,
party OF officers yesterday made descent upon
the rereshment sa oon at Norris Grove about mile
west OF the village Of Jamaica. The ofncers after
searching the building, were about to leave the pre-
misses, thinking that they had been msled, when
they discovered that cellar had been dug under the
building, the entrance to which had been carefully
covered with brushw00d. On exploring the cellar
three men were found engaged IN
cooking their dinner, which consisted Of
ham and chicken. The parties were at
once arrested and will be examined to-day. The
cellar well filed up with stolen articles, many
OF which have been recognized BY the parties from
whom they were stolen; while the larder was well
supplied with hams. chickens, &C., the proceeds OF
r0bberies committed during the past few months In
that vicinity. One OF the arrested parties was re-
cognized by the keeper OF the cells person whom
he accommodated with lodgings q few nights since,
and who upon leaving In the morning stole the key
to the cells for the purpose Of liberating his com
panions should they be arrested. The key was
found on the prisoner soon after his arrest.

man is feeling his way TO that special know
ledge and experience which alone make
action bold, direct, effective. And thus one
of the most vital interests of the country suf-
fers and is set back by reason of the unfit
ness of many to whose care il is committed
The argument 80 frequently used, that the
new appointee will soon learn when once in
place, has no reol validity when urged against
the principle that candidates should possess at
least fair share of preparation before offer
ing themselves for official position. The
people have no guarantee that, once the Office
is obtained, the effort necessary for the acqui-
sition of the necessary knowledge will be
made, or If made, that it will be successful
There may be mental incapacity, inaptitude,
or want OF sufficient melting motive. Be-
sides, too many of the men who attain Office
under present methods regard their appoint
ment as reward for party services, and be-
lieve that thenceforth they are rather freed
from than called unto earnest, exacting labor
They have sort of conviction that the Office
is tributary to them, not they to the Office.
We see, then, how possible it Is that duties
may never be learned at all, or, at most, only
specifically
But granting that, in the course of six or
twelve months, the new officer obtains tole-
rable acquaintance with what his position
requires of him, we still fail to see why the
people should pay the cost of his tuition.
And that is practically what the thing
amounts to; for, while the novice is study
ing how to do his official work. he pockets
the full emoluments of the position SO the
public treasury is taxed for his education.
This is an aspect of our civil service which has
not been sufficiently dwelt upon. 1t involves
very considerable expenditure of the peoples
money, which in reality is not necessary and
might be avoided by adopting a right system
in appointments. The civil offices, in nearly
every country having an organized govern
ment, are regarded as very desirable prizes;
and wherever a standard of qualifications is
prescribed for candidates for official employ
ment, no difficulty is experienced in finding
| numbers of well-trained men ready, without
dollars expense to the nation, to meet its
| highest requirements. The civil offices of
our own Government are not less honorable
| or desirable than those of any other or, per-
haps, we should change the mood and say
would be not less desirable had we some
sound and uniform principle in managing
them. Nor should we lack men, well-disci-
pilned, apt, high-minded, if it were esta-
blished that the way to official occupation or
preferment lay, altogether or chiefly, in the
| possession of these qualities.

THEATRICAL THIEYING.

From the N. Y. Tribune
A great many theatrical managers appear
to be thieves, having no more respect for each
others rights of property than 80 many
avowed and professional pickpockets. They
do not violate the statute laws, it is true-ex-
cepting when they can do so with perfect i'm
punity; but for those obligations which are
imposed on gentlemen by the plain, unmis-
taxable, and indisputable laws of honor, they
seem to have no sort of respect Instances
of this kind of dishonesty are SO common that
new one scarcely seems worthy of mention.
To illustrate these remarks, however, by q
case in point, we note the fact that mana
ger, named Aiken, in Chicago, has just been
restrained by an injunction from playing
Tom Taylors drama of Mary Warner, which
is the property-purchased and paid for-of
Miss Bateman; just as much her property as
the garments she wears or the purse in
her pocket. Because, however, the play
was written by an Englishman, citizen of
London, and because there is no law to pro-
tect his copyright in this country, the Chicago
manager thinks that he can seize Miss Bate
mans property and confscate it to his own
use. This to our mind is a clear case of
theft Miss Bateman, we understand, paid
Mr. Tom Taylor f4OO for the drama of Mary
