POLITICS IN THE CIVIL SERVICE.
NEW YORK, Sept. GA Herald
special says: There is the best au-
thority for the statement that the
Administration will no longer
apologize for the appointment or
retention in office of men whose
political preferences are known to
ire hostile to the success of the Re-
publican party. Clerks in the de-
parlments recently, have been
called to contribute to the political
campaigns in Maine and Ohio.
Some refused, alleging that the
good of tie civil service did not re-
quire them to give to a party OPP
posed to their colitical principles.
Such bolduess has embittered the
soldier element in the departments,
and the facts have been sown
broadcast in Maine and in Ohio un-
til the remonstrances against keep
ing such men in office have become
SO formidable as to make change
of policy imperative.
ACCUMULATION OF GOLD
The Assistant Treasurer. writes to
the Treasury Department: "There
has been no change in the move
ment of gold. 1t still continues to
accumulate in our vaults, while
the amount of certificates Outstani-
ing remains nearly stationary.
There is really no demand for gold
aud as it Is less convenient than
notes to handle, not only the an
nual production but the imports
which are likely to be large this
fall-will naturally take the same
direction. This accumulation in
the stock of coin in the Treasury,
in view of the fact that Customs
duties are now largely paid in
United States notes and silver GER
tificates, is conclusive evidence OF
the general belief in the equality of
these notes and in the permanency
of resumption. 1t will soon be ne
cessary to use a portion or the
silver vault for the storage OF gold.
CHoTTEAU's SCHEMES.

President and members of the Cab

ments on behalf of American in

A STRANGE FUNERAI-The funeral of ex-
Congressman Ebon G. lngersoll, brother of
Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, of Illinois, was held
at his residence in Washington on Monday.
The ceremonies were extremely simple, con-
sisting merely of viewing the remains by
relatives and friends and funeral Grafton by
Col R. G. Ingersoll. The closing sentences
of this were as follows:
Life is narrow vale between the cold and
barren peaks of two eterneties. We strive in
vain to look beyond the heights. We cry
aloud, and the only answer is the echo of our
waiting cry. From the voiceless lips of the
unreplying dead there comes no word, but
in the night of death hope sees a star, and
listening love can hear the rustic of a wing.
He who sleeps here, when dying, mistaking
the approach of death for the return of
health, whispered with his latest BREATH" i
am better now" Let us believe. in spite of
doubts and dogmas, and tears and fears, that
these dear words are true of all the countless
dead And now TO you who have been cho-
sen from among the many men he loved TO
do the last sad office for the dead, We give his
sacred dust. Speech cannot containour love.
There was, there is no gentler, stronger, man
lier man.
There were no ceremonies whatever at the
grave. The deceased Mr. Ingersoll held the
same religious views as does his brother, Col.
Ingersoll. The Ingersoll brothers conducted
the services at the funeral of their father, who
was clergyman, in the same way, Col.
Ingersoll making the address, and burying the
hnIv in tho rar1an making "a nnwer he'd

one physician thinks, the most probable
cause of the breaking out of diphtheria in
the school, is the fact that the children of
one family, noted for the terrible unsanitary
conditions of their house and persons, at
tended school in the filthy clothing that
they wore, while getting up from the
diphtheria, which they had a short time
since. 1t is thought that they NAV have
brought the disease in their cloth
ing to the school house, and hence its spread
If the above reasons are not sufficient to &C
count for sickness and death in this afflicted
community others might be suggested. The
misfortune has been the result Of ignorance,
or wilful negligence in taking even ordinary
measures toward preventing this disease, or
some other disease, attacking the communi-
ty A condition of affairs about the school
house and the brook, that has created or in
vited disease, uncleanly homes, carelessness
in regard to the further spread of the dis
ease, and the peculiarities of the location
may each have had something to do with the
sickness. This is not the only place in Yer
mont where such causes are liable to produce
the same results, and the lesson ought to be
needed by making everybody more careful
in regard to the sanitary conditions which
prevent disease With all our fresh air,
pure water, cheap soap, and cheap labor,
there is no excuse for misfortune as ter,
rible as this one
The authorities of Newark ought to take
means at once to prevent the spread of this
disease, and to put every house where it has
occurred in clearly state. The water of
the brook, which has horne the chief blame
for the sickness has been sent away to be
analysed, and it will soon be learned whether
the sickness resulted from 1t or not. The
sick, twenty or more, are now mostly out
of danger.

WELL SAID.-Gen. Keifer, of Ohio, put
the case forcibly and well, in his Decoration
day address at Arlington cemetery, when he
said:
This Ia not fitting occasion to utter
words of reproach or condemnation of the
living or the dead neither is it proper to
ignore the broad distinction between the
patriot and the traitor. The misguided dead
who fell fighting for disunion and slavery
may he spoken Of tenderly also the living
who fought in the same cause, who, when
Appomattox came, in good faith accepted
the verdict rendered. Mercy and charity
demand this much, hut no more. A tribute
to bravery alone is idle and empty. Heroic
deeds of bravery and daring, to he COM
mended, must he coupled with patriotism,
love of country, or some achievement in the
interest of humanity. In our recent war
there was a distinction between the living
who fought for and those who fought
against the Union, and death does not Oh
