MIR. CANDLER.s EXPLANATION.


 The Civil Service reformers of Massachu- setts are in earnest and they are making it hot" for some of the Massachusetts members of Congress Congressman Candler of the Eighth district is supposed to have support ed MT. Warrington for collector at Boston. May % the Newton Civil Service Reform as- soclatlon addressed a letter to him, quoting his declaration that he was in favor of raai- cal reform in the civil service of the United States, and wanting to know why he helped Warrington. MT. Candler ''has just found time to reply" and confesses that he was in favor of Mir. Worthington's confirmation af- ter he had been nominated. He says the President made four or five appointments in Massachusetts in accordance with the wishes of the delegation in Congress from that State, and nominated Mir. Worthington as his preference over other candidates for col lector. ''While l." continues Mir. Candler favored Mir. Beard, would rot join in de. nouncing the President. I knew the ap- pointment was urged upon him by as good men as we who opposed it. and, while have not always been in accord with Mir. Worth ington's political views, I have known him
  ieism I would not take part in." Mir. Cand- Ter points out that appointments will always be unsatisfactory to those who are disap- pointed and says: ''We need some legisla- tion in regard to the civil service of the country, some established sys- tenn, but 1t is more difficult to se- cure change of laws or enact new law, however wise than any ono can realize who has not tried to do it in Washington. So far Massachusetts members are con- cerned, think the patronage of office is g trial and burden; but, under the present system, I do not complain that petitions and applications are sent to me. I do the best I can for my constituents and the public inter- est. The member of Congress is the repre- sentative of the people. They appeal to him'
 Furthermore, Mir. Candler has been Civil Service reformer fer long time. He calls attention to the fact that in his district he has recommended in three instances the ap- polntment of women as postmasters. Twice he advised the department to promote the assistants who were capable and efficient women in preference to inexperienced men who sent in large petitions. Mr. Candler hopes that some action will be taken by Con- gress before this session closes, on the sub- ject of the civil service, but he does not see how the reappointment of MT. Beard or the appointment of MT. Warrington as collector at Boston would have any practical effect the subject of Civil Service Reform.
 It is to be hoped that the Civil Service re- formers will continue their inquiries. They have thus far discovered a number of able and devoted advocates of their cause. At this rate it seems probable that by and by we shall all be Civil Service reformers

not make much out of his discovery. MT. Landsrath has made thorough study of the geological formation of the oil country, and by comparison with the northern fields, of sand levels and characteristics as obtained by actual drilling, he came to the conclusion that there was oil in the Cherry grove dis trict. His first drill brought nothing but gas, and before he could proceed further he found his financial credit impaired. He dis posed of his leases for what he could get and the company which secured them, under his advice, sunk what turned out to be the most remarkable oil well ever known. They. however, had little faith that oil would be struck, and arranged to dispose of their leases. They kept everything as mysterious and secret as possible, and no one was al- lowed to approach the well. Oil spectators, however had spies on the watch. and learned enough to lead them to lease all the land they could obtain in the neighborhood. The flow at Garfield is still great, though it has less ened some since the first. Its continuation for long is matter of complete uncertainty. Building and speculation is going lively though the flow was to continue forever
 A queer action at law has lately been brought against Justice Field, of the Massa- chusetts Supreme court, by Mary Mccarthy formerly of Canton. The plaintiff seeks to recover the sum of $2O, GOO for injuries ai- legged to have been sustained by her in mind, body, estate and reputation, which injuries are alleged to have been caused by an illegal transfer of 8 suit against her frem the Su- preme Judicial court of Suffolk county to the Superior Criminal court of Norfolk county, without notice to her, her sureties or attor- ney As result of this alleged illegal trans fer she was committed to the women's prison at Sherborn, where she has been compelled to associate with alleged disrsputable persons, she alleging herself to have always been an honest, peaceable and virtuous girl. She further declares that the refusal of the de- fendant Judge Field, to issue writ of ha- beas corpus, when appraised by her friends and sursties of the alleged true facts in the case, has deprived her of her just rights under the constitution, and has caused her great anxiety of mind and fatigue of body. Plain tiff further declares that she is still held at involuntary servitudea at house on Temple street, Boston, by woman said to be the wife of prison contractor. The suit has been duly entered, and the estate of Judge Field has been attached in the sum of $2O,-

HECK ER,S PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (75, 5,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread aud bis- cuit than either the "Royal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missiORers, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with @ number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained.

The rector of a London church and the local authorities found themselves in a curi- difficulty recently, as the result of strict law. large quantity of human bones were disinterred by excayators for gas pipes, in the roadway near the church, and heaped up In the churchyard. They could not be buried In the yard because it was closed by law for all interments in 1857. The medical health officer with the rector applied at the "Home Offce' for leave to bury them, but were re- fused permission. They then applied to the coroner to hold an inquest, so that they might be buried somewhere. He declined, as he thought it no part of his business to sit on bones of people who died, as every one admitted, two hundred years ago at least. Besides, he said, perhaps inquests had been held on them-how did he know |? He de- manded whether the burial service was to be held in reinterring them? If not. clearly they were not subjects of a coronsr's busi- ness. Finally, however, the coroner ordered a verdict of Don't know how the bones came where they were found," and gave the required permit without which human re- mains cannot go legally under ground in A civilized city.

The vicksburg (N1iss. ) Hea0ld acknowledges the reception of several specimens of fine ull-blown cotton blooms, grown on plantation in Sunfower county, Miss, where the water. during the spring overflow, stood on an average about five feet in depth. There is now growing on this plantation 175 acres of cotton, planted after the land dried out, which promises. 8 bale to the acre. Similar reports of recuperation are being received from the other river coun- ties of the State. The first bloom of this year's cotton crop has been sent from Macon, N. O., to Petersburg, Va, together with the report that with seasonable weather the crop in that section will be much larger than last year.

The steady decline of exports and the equally steady increase of imports since the year began are not altogether pleasant fea- lures of the business situation. In January the exports exceeded the imports by eight million dollars; in February the imports ex- ceeded the exports by about two millions in March they exceeded them by six millions in April by eight and a half millions and in May by nearly twenty one millions.

The votes OF Senator HARRISON and Sell

bill suggest the query to an Indiana paper
why HARRISON and HAwLEY would not
make good Republican presidential ticket
in 1884? 1t thinks that cit would be a
handy ticket, hearty ticket, hopeful
ticket, and would be elected with hur-
rah."
That editor is in blissful ignorance as to
the times in which he lives. Both parties
will in their next National Conventions,
we doubt not, declare unequivocally for the
Improvement Of rivers and harbors. Mr..
ARTHUR and Mr.. HAwLEY and Mr.. HARRI-
SON and Mr.. BAYARD, and all other aspirants
to the presidency Of the United States, may
as well know now as later that ii they are
to run for the office OF their ambition at
all, they will have TO take their stand upon
a platform containing Just such plank as
we have said will be used by both parties.
The United States Government is not
now what it was in the beginning. 1t is
too truly patcrnal government. There.
lore, IL Will not Teiusc W give money u
works Of internal improvement because
these may be Of merely local character
The granting OF charters to the Union
Pacific and Central Pacific railroads was an
act which foreshadowed the ultimate alb
sorption and exercise by the Federal
Government OF whatever powers thai
Government might see fit to claim. II il
too late now to raise such questions
The northern States never doubted thu
power Of the Federal Government tc
appropriate money for the improve
ment Of rivers lying altogether within
single State. The southern congressman
would be great fools II they should suffel
all the money Of the Government to be ex
pended north Of the Potomac. The ques
ton Of power is settled. The question O
expediency alone remains to be decided
This has to be decided in each case as 4
arises. Who can doubt that the decision
will always be In the Affirmative?
