The Perils of COasting.

The favorte coasting ground this Win
ter in New York is the Seventh avenue hill
in College Point. At the foot of the hill
is wharf fronting Flushing Bay. On
Monday evening 4 sleigh, upon which
were seated Charles Barnsert and his
two daughters, and three other
young women, started down the
hill with such speed that before it
could be stopped it ran off the wharf and
plunged into the bay, carrying it's riders
with it. The ice at this point being thin,
the party broke through and sank out of
sight. There was help at hand and the
drowning coasters were rescued. 1t is
feared that two ofthe young women will
die Of the effects OF the cold and exposure
One of the Misses Barngert was terribly
cut about the body with floating ice.
Shortly after this accident another
sleigh, carrying several young men and
boys, ran off into the hay at the same
place. These coasters were also rescued
after almost perishing.

Spurious Civil Service Reform.


It is very hard to believe that Mr..
Hayes is actuated by any high considera-
tions of sincere civil service reform in
his recent appointments for New York
state, wherein he displaces Mr.. COnk-
ling's friends of acknowledged fitness
and supplies their places with Mr..
Conkling's enemies of conspicuous
unlitness. This, however, has been
Mr.. Hayes's conception Of civil service
reform all along, and these fresh illus
trations of it only attract attention be-
cause they are furnished Oh the eve of a
new administration, the extent of whose
sympathy with Mr.. Hayes's political
ideas is a matter of curious concern to
their party. If Mr.. Hayes is acting at
Garteld's instance in thus attempting to
break down Conkling'S influence, it
forebodes stormy weather. Ii he is dis
posed, as is more probable, to get off his
hands the embarrassment of Judging
between cOntending factions in New
York, by allowing Hayes and Evarts to
fill, to their liking, all the vacancies pos.
sibly occurring before his coming, it is
illustrative of his moral cowarlice, but
Mr. Conkling will find it out and the
weather will be none the less stormy.
In any event Hayes shows his uttel
inappreciation of real civil service re.
form by making it consist in the pun
ishment of political enemies, which i:
even a lower view of il than the reward
Of political friends. The Hayes " ma
chine . is scarcely preferable in public
opinion to the Conkling machine, ,
when it is operated on the same princi
pie, for the same purposes and in behal
of even unworthier men. The successOr

IT has leaked out that some oil
the democrats at Nashville seem to
have information that the supreme
court has reached decision in the
Stewart-Fout case, which will seat
Stewart, democrat. IF this rumor
proves correct, this foreknowledge
OF the. supreme court decision,
before it is announced by the court,
will create a sensation and place
the court in an embarrassing posi-
ton. Such a decision will be re,
garded by republicans and many
liberal minded democrats as purely
partisan and outrageous. AS we
understand it,. the vote between
Stewart and Fout was "a tie, and
neither candidate is entitled to a
certificate. Under the laws of Ten.
nessee, the sheriffs are to certify
the vote of their counties. The
duty is simply ministerial. In this
case, the sheriff has gone far beyond
anything ever attempted before, and
adjudged what was the legal vote,
and that the republican candidate
received. one illegal vote, which
relieves the case Of being tie
vote, that is, if you take the opinion
of the sheriff, who has no right to
judge as to the legality of vote
and throw it out. The attempt is
now to compel the governor and
secretary of the state to give Stew
art, the democratic candidate, a
certificate, just because the sheriff
has taken it upon himself to decide
judicially that one vote for the re-
publican was not legal. Good law
yers, of bothipolitical parties, have
it as incredible that the
Judges of the democratic supreme
court should lend themselves to so
partisan an outrage.
