The earnest efforts of Mr.. Hayes and Secre-
tary Sherman in the interest of civil service
reform can be better appreciated when it is
remembered that the reasons assigned for the
removal Of Arthur, Conklng's collector OF the
port OF New York, were that certain serious
charges affecting his official integrity were
believed by the administration. SO far so
good. But this smirched official was offered
the position OF consul-general to Paris as a
salve to his wounded feelings. This position
was declined because, as Arthur stated, If he
was corrupt In one position he was unfit for
the other. AS the matter stands, Arthur
shines more conspicuously as q civil service
reformer than either our remarkable Presi-
dent or his equally remarkable Secretary OF
the Treasury. This matter Of the Paris con-
sulship calls for some explanation.

The Federal election laws, Just now, are
said to be giving the Republicans In Wash
ington some worry. They see time, not far
distant, when the machinery Of the govern
ment will be in the hands Of their political
opponents, and fear that the laws will react
upon their party. Especially do they fear
the coming interference of deputy marshals
In elections. The leaders, consequently are
reported as anxious that the laws shall be re-
pealed. In this desire they are heartily
joined by the majority of the Democrats. 1t
seems that some of the latter are opposed to
the repeal for the very same reasons that
urge the Republicans to favor them. But
this sentiment Is expressed by only few,
and Is contrary to the uniform course of the
party, which has opposed these laws from
the beginning and urge their repeal as
strongly now as when they were first pro-
posed The small number who insist that 1t
is now good policy to keep them on the stat
ute books do violence to party principle. Ii
the Republicans are really In earnest In wish
Ing to repeal the laws, they have not yet
given an earnest of it. They would be met
more than half way by the Democratic mem
bers, That Is certain.

| Some time ago an account was published of
the death OF Cashier Barron, of the Dexter
| Savings Bank, Of Dexter, Me. He had died
| 1t was said, the death of hero. The bank
was invaded by burglars. Barron refused to
surrender the keys or the combination by
which the safe of the bank was unlocked.
The burglars gagged, manacled and beat
him, but in vain. They could net force him
to yield. Finally they got in the safe, stole
some money, and left Barron locked up in the
safe to die Such was the story told but q
short time ago. The bank has been inyesti-
eating the matter thoroughly SINCE and now
announces to the world that this hero was no
hero, but thief; that the robbery was
planned entirely by Barron carried out by
| him alone to hide his theft of the banks
money, and that he subsequently committed
suicide by taking poison to avoid exposure.
An examination OF his accounts shows beyond
doubt that he was defauIter, although these
were 80 skillfully made up and altered that
they were only too likely to deceive. It
was also found that he had skillfully
gagged and manacled himself, having
previously taken sufficient morphine to kill.
The handouts with which he was manacled
were traced up, and it was found that he had
purchased them himself several weeks In adj
vance OF the pretended robbery. 1t was also
| shown that he had purchased morphine and
frequently threatened suicide. Altogether the
proof, circumstantial though it was, is con-
vincing that Barron had robbed The bank, so
that he was unable to repay the money he had
stolen; had resolved to suicide SO as to cover
up his disgrace, and had determined, In dying,
to leave behind him the reputation and char
acter of hero.
The case is the most extraordinary that has
occurred since Herastratus "fired the Ephe-
sian dome" for little glory. That man

will be growing In the streets Of this great
city; the white population OF many of the
richest parishes will have sought homes
elsewhere, and Louisiana will have degen-
Grated into something little, If any better,
than negro colony. Men cannot bear to be
forever harrassed as the people Of Louisiana
have been for years. Under such eireum-
stances life itself ceases to be desirable; the
bonds OF society are loosened, the evil pas
sions gain the ascendency and society be-
comes disorganlzed.
Our members Of Congress- we repeat,
should take up the persecution OF these hun
dreds of their fellow-citizens, and direct the
attention of the country to the atrocity. Our
citizens here In New Orleans should protest
against proceedings SO Injurious to the good
name of Louisiana and SO threatening to the
largest interest of the city and State.

The Patterson Indian Territory Committee
have reported in favor of territorial form
Of government for the five civilized Indian
tribes. These tribes will return delegate to
Congress- and the Territory will be placed on
the same footing as Idaho, Wyoming and
the other Territories. Among the provisions
of the bill Is one wiping out all the donations
OF lands to railroads running through the
Territory. The railroads announced at one
time their willingness to submit to this, de-
claring that what they would gain by throw
ing the Territory open to settlement would
more than compensate them for their loss of
land. They seem disposed now. however, to
take different view of the matter, and will
oppose Patterson's bill. This will effectually
kill it. With both the railroads and the In
dams against it, the bill has no chance of
success.

Three out OF the nine members of the
Senate Committee on Privileges and Elections
have reported in favor of female suffrage
They hold that women are especially adapted
to exercise the elective franchise, their capac-
ity to Judge of character being intuitive
Speaker tAndrews of the Wyoming Assembly
also testifies strongly to this. He was OPP
posed, he says, at one time to female suffrage,
but an examination Of its practical workings
has won him over to favor 1t. His judgment
is that women are far neutrality-suspicious. in the
exercise of the elective franchise than men,
and always consider the character of a candi-
date in voting for him. When any important
question comes up they are reliably certain
to be at the polls and vote, and can be more
safely depended on to correct political
wrong than male voters.

Bismarck now has his eye on the island OF
Heligoland, In the North Sea, and Ia about to
begin negotiations with Disraeli for Its ces-
sion to Prussia. The island itself Is worth
less, but 1t is strongly fortified and near the
mouths of important German ports. 1t is re-
garded in England as second In strategic
value only to Gibraltar, and there is no like
lihood of the German Chancellor making the
purchase. Disraeli would at once forfeit his
popularity by listening to the scheme.
