THERE ARE not as many Indians
now as there were fourteen years
ago. Many tribes have adopted and
are accepting the habits OF civilized
life. But the cost of the Indian
sDrvice has almost doubled in TWEEN
ty-eight years. From 1855 to 1868
fae expenditures were $49, 8O5, $500;
from 1869 to 1882 they were sol, 243.-
731.50, showing an excess of SAL
938,393.39, and last year the service
cost SIS, 1876, 74740 more than in any
other year in the whole history of
the government. Like other gov
eminent departments, the Indian
Bureau needs the attention of the
next Congress.

CITIZENS OF Baltimore are much
surprised at peculiar fall of
mysterious dust during a heavy
rainstorm one day last week. The
wind was steady from the south
west, and falling with the rain was
a peculiar yellowish dust, closely
resembling pulverized sulphur. The
fall was particularly heavy in East
Baltimore, where it lay on the
ground. Microscopic examination
showed it to be the minute eggs of
some foreign insect. Several scien-
tifo gentlemen who nave travelled
in the east, say the phenomenon is
often seen along the Mediterra-
mean, but never in this country be-
fore. A quantity Of the matter has
been collected for further analysis.
The name of the insect is unknown.
The fall continued for some time.

THE NEWSPAPERS are trying to
find a number of morals in the
suicide Of Mr.. Amasa Stone, the
Cleveland millionaire. Such az act,
however, on the part of a man who
was prominently prosperous, who
had spent largely of his income in
works of benevoIence, and who, it
Is to be supposed. had no pangs of
conscience to trouble him, only
proves that there is a limit to
physical and mental labor, that
every violation of the laws of
nature meets with its punishment
whether the man who disobeYs them
be 3 pauper or a millionaire.

DURING THE late war fortunes
were made on the rise and fall of
gold. by spectators who procured
Though corrupt government off.
GERS, in advance of the general pub
lie, the latest news of the victories
or reverses of the army. Immense
sums were paid for this knowledge
by the gold gamblers. So in these
times of peace the same ,course is
pursued by spectators, for the pur-
pose of gaining advance news from
the Agricultural Bureau concern
ing the condition of the crops. At
least Mr.. Dodge, one of the statisti-
clans, is reported to have said that
many of the clerks in the bureau
had been approached lately with
both brides and threats for this pur-
pose. If this be true Mr.. Dodge
should disclose the names and the
details regarding this attempt to
currupt the public service.

THE NEGRO PROBLEM.


The newspapers in the south gen.
orally treat the negro question in
such an inconsiderate if not brutal
way that it does one good to see so
influential and able journal as the
Atlantac Constitution taking a cor
rect and reasonable position as to
the matter. The ordinary method
of disposing of the question is to as
sert that the negroes, now that they
have been freed and endowed with
all the rights of citizenship, can
have no place in this county, and
among the American people,; that
they will soon pass away, if left to
work out their own salvation; and
that the proper thing to do is to col
onize the blacks, where they can
develope whatever for good or
evil there may be in them
without being a source of
annoyance if not fear to the whites.
The Constitution takes q broader
and more reasonable view Of the
matter. 1t admits that there is a |
negro question, and says the sooner |
southern people take hold of the !
problem in earnest, the better it will
be for the whole country. 1t says
the problem in the south will be
solved by the southern people and
by them alone. But the frankest
and most manly admission is that
'there. is no reason why any south
ern man, woman or child should
have any prejudice against the
negro race. There is no ground for
It, no excuse for it; for there is
more pathetic in history
han the fact that the negroes, with
! full knowledge of all the circum-
tances. remained faithful to the in
erests of the southern people to theI
nd. If there is anything morel
athletic than this it is the fact
hat the negro has been the creaturei
f circumstances over which he had
20 control. He has been leaf in a
torn. He was not responsible for
laVery, and he is not responsible
II his freedom; nor is he respon-
bile for the problem Of which he is
ne Of the factors"
This is the correct estimate of the
tuation, and VIXEN southern editors
lopt it the solution of the problem
i'll be in sight. The negroes are in -
le south and they are there to stay. r!
hey will be just what the justice ~
I'd humanity of the south choose |
make them. It is believed the fer
,tter element Of the south desires Ct,
make the negro worthy in every GU
ay of the great privileges and BIZ
sponsibilIties that have been con- NO NO
FRED upon them. If the Co7aSt5taL. ize
Oh represents that element the Of
,gro problem in the south will be sVI
orked o satisfactorily both to :.
hites and blacks. n

A CARGO of suspected tea, which
was recently seized in New York
under the new law, has been found,
after a careful examination, to be
adultered with spurious and ex-
hausted leaves. The importers have
been ordered to send it back within
the next two months. If it is not
sent back it win be destroyed by the
government officers. It is the first
case under the new law.

CIVIL SERVICE RULES.

The civil service rules which
were framed under the civil service
act of last winter and 60 into effect
on July 1st next, have been approved
by the President and promulgated.
They are twenty-five in number,
and show evidences of much care in
their preparation. They ought to
meet the various contingencies of
| the service, and prove beneficial to
the public. In brief, the rules pro-
vide for competitive examinations
of ali applicants for positions in
three classes of the public service
the departments at Washington,
the customs service in districts en-
ploying fifty officials and the postal
! service in cities where the same
number of officials are employed.
It viii be understood that many
thousands of clerks and officials Will
come under the application Of the
rules. The requirements are some
what larger than have heretofore
been asked of applicants, but they
are no more than are necessary for
efficiency. The ostimportant re-
late to the character and habits of
the competitor; but, after all, the
vital features of the rules are the
clauses requiring the competition
to be absolutely free from partisan
bias, and protecting officials and
public servants from political as
sessments and the danger of re-
moval for political reasons. The
public service has suffered Lnore ..
from the latter cause than pretty
nearly any other. The official had
to serve his party with greater
fidelity than he did his country, or
he was in danger of being >
kicked out. Indeed, it has
mattered little how much
5he man has neglected the Z
luties of his Office if he were only =
in his advocacy of his 0
party and prompt with his assess a
nents. s.
After all the only value that any q
ivil service rules can have is in IL
heir honest application and faith. 81
III enforcement. 1t is in the power d
f the commissioners and their
uperiors tG practically nulIify the 81
ules and permit things to move ~
long in their old and dishonest "
'@ys. There must be thoroughness u
l carrying into effect the real spirit
nd intent of the reform measures ID
the attempted reformation in the ~
vii service will come to naught,and 9e
le new law, intended for good, will 10
Ill into ridicule and contempt !"
fortunately the people are back of 10
le reform movement. They inaug- IL L.
rated it and forced a show Of obe- ~
fence to their demands. If the IL
le present authorities do not see '"
lat the laws enacted in compliance !"
-Itb the commands Of the country
re enforced, it will only be the or
-orse for the party in power, for ar
le voters have already spoken with to
o uncertain sound at the polls, and eff
ley are capable of making their Il
dice heard and needed against ce
orrllpt muf1ng of ears. or
The civil service law and rules do a
OF go far enough, for they should W,
Etend to every appointive Office tiC
nder the government, but they co
ere all the concession that an I'M tic
-illing majority would grant, and hi

OUR PICKENS LETTER.
PICKENs G. H., Nov. l3, 1888.

ASNhNS ~ H., NOV. 10, 1868.
DEAR MESSENGER AS Il snowy
dove trouplng among crows, Outshines
them all, so do the events Of last Fri
day night bid other items Of news re-
tire to the rear in this letter. Whilst
the West yet glimmered with few
streaks OF day the spectators were seen
vending their ways to the Piedmont
Institute, and at IN early hour the
commencement Hall was full and run
ming over. Fronting the large audi
ence was Il tastcfully arranged stage,
and just as the hands of the watch
reached 1880 the curtain rose and about
one hundred stars in the McCaslan-
Riley crown stood on the stage lending
brightness to the chandeliers and warb-
ling forth welcome chant. This was
the opening of a brilliant entertain
mcnt which was complete success all
the way through. We have not the
space to notice all the pieces. They
were all good, and the actors in each
deserve a personal compliment, which
we hereby extend to them all, without
mentioning their names. The three
pieces most admired were: "Mortoa
ginG The Old Farm" "Old Uncle Jctfn
and "a Breach Of Promise Trial bv
Jury.'
"Mortgagng the Old Farm' was
rendered very touchingly. An old sill
V2r-hcadcd man and his aged wife were
seated on the stage, surrounded bv
group OF cNtravagant children who
were dressing and living away the old
estate. The Old folks, by their wrink-
les and tears and siGhs ovcrcamc the
children and succeeded in heading the
clear old home. There was much i'm it
to represent real life. and it taught an
excellent moral.
"Old Jcf' was Il colorcd piece, and
tell You it helped to digest many a
supper. 1t was SO funny that the
house roarcd with laughtcrall the time.
Even the vincGar~ast ,cct fellows, who
scarcely ever show their teeth in way
OF smile, could be seen with their
