THE OTHER SIDE.

The Post (San Francisco) states the other
side of the question of the Presidents order
as follows:
If we are to have civic emasoulation in the
civil service, let us have it an even thing, from
the highest TO the lowest ON the official rounds.
George ". NcCrary, Secretary OF War, is a
citizen Of Iowa. He has represented its most
important district in Congress for six years
He is deservedly esteemed as 4 Republican,
and has taken rank with the leaders of that
party. Nfr. McCrary is also member OF the
present Cabinet, and assented to the recent
order Of the President. He is the head of an
important portion Of the civil service, and as
he consented to its PRONUNCIATION he ought
himself TO obey its uncivil requirements. Yet
Mr.. McCrary is conspicuous example Of dis
obedience or Of the absurdity involved in at
tempts at its enforcement. Iowa is strongly
Republican and vigorously disafected at the
policy now being pursued Mr. McCrary
proceeds quietly to his State, pending the
meeting of State Convention, and uses his
personal and official influence to modify that
feeling. How little success attended him is
seen in the tabling by all overwhelming vote
of a resolution indorsing the Southern policy,
and by the presence, as delegates, Of federal
officials What business had Mr. McCrary
at Des MONIES trying TO control the views Of
Iowa Republicans, if the officials who were
delegates had no right to act in such capacity
Who is to be decapitated for such acts, the
Secretary of War or the petty Postmasters
No one Of them, we venture to assert, and
that fact proves the folly Of the order itself
But let reform begin in the upper stories, say
we. Mr. McCrary is a conspicuous example
Of q meddIing IN politics. He should be
made an example. Let the President at once
demand his resignation.

THE PIUTES.

Naches, the willy chief of the Piutes, is re
ported as from the front and rear as follows
by the Silver State of July g.
Naches, the Piute chief and the SIX war
riors who went to San Francisco with him re
turned to-day. He is delighted with what
he saw on the Fourth. He was treated very
cordially by Gen. Mcdowell and the people,
generally. He says he has not means to visit
all parts OF the county, and assures the whites
OF the peaceable Intentions Of his tribe. He
left his ranch to see Mcdowell and he had
to pay the board bill of himself and followers,
which amounted to S34 in San Francisco. So
far as he is aware Of, the Piutes III al parts
of the State have not the remotest idea of
fighting the whites, and he hopes the settlers
III all parts of the country will not be alarmed,
as there is no danger of an Indian outbreak
ans who left Paradise Valley have already re-
turned, or will return and work Tor those
who may give them employment.
1t is not to be wondered at, however, that
the settlers on and near the Idaho border are
very much disturbed. Their neighbors are
the Bannocks and Pit River Indians (what' S
lett OF the latter, and they are of the most
treacnerOus or all the lnQ1an trlOes. More
over it is to be added in all candor that we
think that Naches has not a complete and all
directing influence with the more uneasy war
riors OF the Plute Nation. These are better
represented by Winnemucca. Naches has
been for too many years acquainted with
sharp white men to be altogether acceptable
to the pure bloods-the uncontaminated men
Of his tribe He (unless We misjudge him)
represents, if any considerable number Of Pi-
utes, those who are familiar to our towns and
cities. But it must in justice be said that if
he can keep this very large portion of the
tribe from joining any who are inclined to
take the warpath, so much and so far his in
auence is to be valued

Our lively contemporary, the Reno Journal
dominates for Governor on the Republican
ticket at the next election Hon Thos Haw-
ley Of the Supreme bench of this State and
our neighbor of the eventide, yonder, seconds
the nomination. We like to hear these hearty
expressions Of confidence in, and admiration
for so square and hearty and answering a
Black Republican as Tom Hawley. He is a
man after our own heart courageous, out
spoken, never admitting any Of the lying
charges brought against his party by the sore
heads and nalcontents OF the press and the
steeet corners. There is no office, either in
the gift of the people, by direct vote, or the
Legislature, speaking for the people, that we
are not always ready to help him to. But he
cannot be Governor-and we are glad Of it,
for he is too useful man on the Bench to be
settled down in the Gubernatorial office Here
as follows, is the reason why he cannot BIO the

OF the finding of child that was distress

ingly lost, the Silver State OF July says
Emmet Reed, the child who wandered of
from kyle's Hot Springs on the morning of
the 9th of July, was found last Saturday
Martin Tiffany, who was with the Indians
who followed his trail, informs us that the lit
tie fellow travelled about 20 miles, and was
out 4S hours without food or water. When
he reached the summit OF East Range he saw
the Hot Springs and started back, crossing
his track within ten miles of the Springs
When found he was very laxative until
drink was given him, after which he asked
continually for water. He had very high
fever for awhile, but at las. accounts had al
most fully recovered.

The thing which struck me first,
and which has always remained my
strongest impression about him, was
his power of putting himself in COM
plete sympathy with other people /;
and I believe that to be the key note
of his genius. During that hour. and
the hours which followed il, for we went
back with him to the inn and sat be-
side him while he ate his hearty sup
per,-he was literally one of us,--a
boy, only boy beyond compare in
exuberance of mirth, quickness Of
wit, and inexhaustible capacity for
happiness He was absutely never
still. mentally or physically !; thoughts,
words, and gestures followed each
other in bright succession, till it was
little wonder that my sister and /
went to bed thoroughly exhausted, to
pass night of mingled dreams and
sleeplessness, nnder the canopy of our
queer old dingy four-poster.
In the morning, we woke to find a
smart little snow-storm going on. but
none the less CHEEKY was the break

gayety dependent neither on weather,
nor hours, nor people.
Through the softly falling snow we
came back together to London, and
on the railway platform parted with
a hearty Misunderstanding from the man
who will forever be cnshrined in oul
hearts as the kindest and most gener.

had been thrown alive into those dark
waters, by their unnatural parents.
In 1874 the births In Paris were but
$3.50, of whom, 1888, or more
than one in ten, were born in hos
pitals; while the deaths were 30, 759,
of whom only 26.712 died at home.
while 1894 died in hospitals, and
prisons. Ola population of l, 825, 300
not less than 100000 are paupers, 81,
900 are in the hospitals, and 5000 in
prison. Foundlings and aged and IN
firm persons amount to 20. 900. These
facts illustrate the social life Of Paris,
where the very language has no such
word as home!
Of late the cry OF alarm is raised in
France over the deterioration of the
nation; and recent French writer
has borne regretful testimony to this
fact. According to his published
statement, the population of frozen
Norway doubles itself in ffty-one
years the population of Austria dou-
bles in sixty-two years: the popula-
tion of England in sixty-three years ;
that of Denmark in seventy-three
years; Sweden in eighty-nine years
Germany in ninety-eight years ; but
inFran ce, sunny France. with all its
advantages and resorces, at the pres
ent rate of increase. the population
only doubles in THREE HUNDRED AM
THIRTY FOUR YEARS Such is the
result of French science, French skept-
icism, and French morality!
Besides this there is noticed a det-
erioration in the individual hives CT men.
In 1873 there were 303, SO who at
tanned to the age of twenty years in
1874 there were only 900. 204 who
reached that age; in 1875 there were
only 2S3,7 while in 1876 the esti,
mate was that only about 277 900 ar
rived at the age of twenty. This
number, in population of some So,
100000 is very snail, and seems con
stantly decreasing.
Here then We see what French wri
tiers complain of, a constant decrease
in the strength and vigor of the popu
Ilation of the country > and with sucl
facts as these it is not strange tha
when Germany, the land of Luther
and the Bible. poured her legions owe
the plains of France, that the French
nation with all their culture, refine
ment, politeness, infdelity and gildet
vice, went down beneath the iron hee
of the stronger nation ;-stronger be
cause it had in it something of til,
strength of virtue and justice which il
begotten by the Word of God an,
cherished and nourished by the prin
ciples of Christianity.
Will the nations heed the lessor
and remember God? Or will the
choose their ways till God shall choos
their delusions, and until they shall
prove again in their own sad expert
ence, the truth Of Holy Writ -
"Where there is no vision the peopl
perish, but he that kecpeth the la,

A Few Hours With Charles
Dickens.

First of all, | must tell you that
we three young people were brought
up to know Dickens by heart. We
had, moreover. the good fortune to
know of him as the warm personal
friend of our father, and to feel that,
by virtue of auld lang syne, we had
at least some claim upon his friend
ship. So when, in the late autumn,
We came back to England and found
that Mr. Dickens had begun his famous
readings, it was very plain to US that
in one way or another we must heal
him.
The chief difficulty lay in the fact
that he was reading only in the pro-
vinces, and it was by no means easy
to find out where or how to catch him
The Council of Three had protract
ed meeting, the result of which was,
that my brother wrote directly to MIR.
Dickens, telling him of our desire,
and asking if he would be kind enough
to advise us what 20 do. Quickly
came back little note, asking US &c
meet him at Colchester, where he was
to read on certain evening the tria,
from ''P. ckwick and selections from
nicholas Nickleby." Well. a few
days later, in the autumnal twilight,
We were met on the platform at Col.
chester by the young man then officia-
ting as Mr.. Dickens secretary, who
took US at once to the queer old Eng
fish inn, than we could have found
no filter place wherein to meet him
who wrote of s.Boots at the Holy tree
Inn, and those two dear little run
Always.
Can anybody imagine how we feb
when, half an hour later, fat ano
solemn waiter appeared at our door tc
inform us that Mr. Dickens hisselt
had hordered supper for u.s." And
cannot everybody understand that our
appetites were rather taken away than
stimulated when we found that oul
supper was evidently the work of a
host who remembered the days of his
gSuth, anu 1du iounN ilHlS tC give
thought to the young people he was
entertaining? Everything that the
appetite of sixteen was likely te
fancy was there, even to certain
kind Of little eustards which Mr..
Dickens had selected as being sure to
please the young Iadic
And then we were taken off to the
theater, and ensconced in corner
where we could see and hear better
than anybody else. and where we
caught, more than once during the
evening, sideway smiles from the
world known eyes and mouth that
were so quick and keen in their chances

ing; ask your parents about it; those
who have heard it know what it
was to them |; while to those who have
not been so fortunate, descriptions can
only be an aggravation Of their ill-luck
We. at least, were more than salts
fed as to the greatness of our favorite,
and after the reading was over. it was
with not little trembling that our
Insignificant feet followed the atten-
dant to the dressing-room.- where Mr..
Dickens, in his shritsleeves, was walk
ing rapidly up and down, as means
of getting through with the cooling

necessary after the great excitement
and excrtion of his reading.
