OFFICIALS AS PARTISAN WORKERS

The question as to whether the recent
order of the President forbidding Fed
eral officers to take an active part in
partisan politics applies to members of
the Republican National Executive
Committee, was considered on Tuesday,
at the Cabinet meeting, the question
being presented by the President HIM
self This subject was originally pre-
sentcd to the President by Assistant
Secretary Mccormick in an incidental
manner, and the opinion then expressed
by him was informal, without consider
alton, and not intended to be decisive.
The President was surprised by the
publication of the incident, and some
what annoyed at the tone Of criticisms
elected by an unauthorized publication,
based as they were upon misrepresenta
tons. The President states distinctly
that he desires to correct entirely the
interference of Federal officers with the
preliminary work of elections, as we'll
as to correct the numerous abuses and
scandals which have grown out of the
mischievous assumptions Of Federal
officers in connection with the general
management of politi~t~l'airs. This
was the purpos> in issuing the order,
and he proposes that it shall be enforced
withe.-. an exception. The conclusion
reached on Tuesday, at the Cabinet
meeting, is that the Executive order
shall apply to members of the National
Committee, and that those members of
the committee who are holding Federal
Offices must elect which position they
will vaeate. 1t is very probable the
President will, upon the first favorable
opportunity, repeat his order upon this
subject III terms that will not admit of
doubt or Misrepresentation The de-
cision reached will necessitate the resig-
nation from the Republican National
Committee of Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Mccormick; Postmaster
Filley, of st. Louis, and perhaps some
other of its members.

THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO STRIKERS.

We publish, in another column, a
condensed account of the strike of the
firemen and freight train hands on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad \ more
causeless and senseess strike than this
one has seldom been inaugurated In
the beginning this movement was made
to resist reduction of wages on the part
of the firemen and brakemen from 81. 10
and $3.50 to $l.5S and $1.35 per day
The Company, following the example
of most other corporations and business
men, having determined to reduce the
wages of its employees ten per cent in
consequence of the general business de-
preston The firemen decided that
they would not submit to the reduction
and accordingly struck. But that the
wages offered by the Company We're
fully up to the market price, is shown
by the fact that there were any num-
Der of men ready to step into the va
Gated places at the reduced wages
This, however, the strikers would not
permit, and hence the riotous demon
STATIONS at Martinsburg No one will
question the right of the strikers to
leave their situations if they chose to
do so, but when they undertake to pre-
vent others working they commit an
offense against the law At last ac-
counts, the mob at Martinsburg had
possession of the road, and prevented
the running of freight trains This
was an easy thing for them to do in
town that derives its principal business
from the railroad shops located there
and the railroad men now on strike.
United States troops, under General
French, are on the ground, and Gov.
Matthews is concentrating other forces.
The dispersion of the mob is, of course,
certain within day or two, or may,
ere this, have been effected. We hope
bloodshed may be avoided, but it is

WHAT is WANTED.

That the Republican party is COM
mitted-over an over again-to Civil
Service Reform, is one Of the plainest
and most undeniable facts of recent
political history. That the party has
meant what it said we do not for a
moment doubt No Republican with
out thereby doing all in his power to
discredit his own party, can doubt it.
A Republican who seeks to turn civil
service into ridicule is unworthy to be-
long to the organization which sus-
tanned President Grant in his official
recommendations for that reform, and
which accepted Gov. Hayes as its can
didate on platform that made promi-
nent this reform.
The diversity of interpretations,
which have given to scotlers the chance
to bring the thing itself into more or
less disfavor, has heretofore been the
main trouble This state of affairs
should be brought to an end. Let the
Administration speak out clearly, and
then we shall see the best elements of
the party arrayed in favor of Reform
1t would be we'll to have some authori
tative, systematic and carefully pre-,
pared statement as to the general prin.
ciples of Civil Service Reform, and as
to the application thereof to well-defned
classes of cases. The sooner such a
statement is made the better for the
Administration, for the Republican
party, and for the country.

Gates of Ohio have met and conquered

The faith of the nation has been pledged
to resumption on specified day. For
the Republicans of Ohio to compromise
with the intlationists for can extension !"

hope they will never take for temporary

THE DROWNING CASE AT ATLANTIC err

THE DROWNING CASE AT ATLANTIC CITY
PARTICULARS OF TIE AFFA1R-On Sat
urday morning, Mr.. Moore Beatty, of
Philadelphia, was drowned at Atlantic
City while attempting to rescue lady,
Mrs. Philips, of New York city, who while
bathing had got beyond her depth. Mr.
Beatty and his wife were standing on the
beach watching the bathers, when it was
observed that Mrs. Philips was making
signs of distress. Throwing Off his coat and
boots Mr.. Beatty plunged into the water
and swan to her assistance. He reached
her but the drowning woman seized him by
the legs and dragged him under. A
large crowd collected on the beach and
boats put out to their aid. They did not
sink, but when hauled on board of one of
the boats life appeared to be extinct, but
when they reached the shore both began to
gasp. physician was sent for and efforts
were made to resuscitate them, but though
the gasping continued for nearly ali hour.
through ignorance and bungling both
finally died. Mr.. Beatty and his family
had only reached Atlantic City on the day
before, and were staying at the Columbia
House. His body reached Philadelphia on
Saturday evening. Mrs. Philips, who was
the widow of a retired French merchant,
was also guest at the Columbia House
She was we'll known at Atlantic City,
having spent her Summers there for sew
eral years. She was known as very bold
bather, so much SO that many ladies re-
fused to accompany her to the water being
afraid to witness her daring exploits in the
water. She was reputed wealthy, and is
said to have lived on Sixty ninth street,
New York. Mr.. Beatty by occupation
was carpenter and builder. lie was
president of number of building associa-
tions. Deceased, who was about forty-six
years of age. leaves a wife and a married
daughter. The Victims though both guests
at the Columbia House, were entirely un-
acquainted with each other.

THOUSANDS OF AFFADAvITs.- Many hav-
ing used "patent" and prepared medicines,
and failed in finding the relief promised,
are thereby preiudiced against all medi-
cines. Is this right9 Would you condemn
all physicians because one failed in giving
the relief promised? Some go to Califor-
mia in search of gold, and after working
hard for months and finding none, return
home and say there is no gold there. Does
that prove it? Many suffering with Ca
tarrh and pulmonary affections have used
the worthless preparations that crowd the
market, and in their disappointment say
there is no cure for Catarrh. Does that
prove it? Does it not rather prove that
they have failed to employ the proper rem

PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL, as contrasted
with the speedy collapse of noGtrums de-
void of efficacy which have from time to
time been pulled into a brief notorety dur
ing the twenty odd years that this cele-

proof that the American public continues
to repose its confidence in deserving art-
cles only. The PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL
has long been recognized as the leading
specific for Consumption, Bronchitis, Dip

other diseases of the breathing organs. 1t
is. moreover, a certain, speedy, and safe
botanic remedy for Dyspepsia, Liver Dis

accommodating evidence of an unimpeacha-
