A Defense Of COWBOYS.

"Tevas Charlie" whose real name b
Cornelius Young. and who was one OF
General Crooks scouts on his Apache
raid, is visiting his family in Albany.
He said to reporter yesterday: There
Is mistaken notion in the States about
cowboys. They are no more and no
less than herders and drivers of cattle.
There are probably fifty, or sixty OF
them ON q ranch. When they have a
time off and visit town they are reckless
aud careless. but when on duty are the
best of men to come in contact with.
OF course they are always ready with
their guns, and are good shots, but then
they are generous TO q fault. Without
an exception, hardly, every cowboy
carries two revolvers. but it is only when

A Brave Engineer.

Not long since, railroad train, load
ed with over six hundred passengers,
was running across New Jersey. BY
some mishap to the machinery, hack
draft drove the steam and flames into
the cab and forced the fireman and en-
gineer to retreat from the locomotive to
the baggage-car. The tender was set
on FIRE, and the train dashed along with
out control.
An attempt was made to get at the
air-brakes in the rear of the train, but
the block of frightened passengers in
terposed an obstacle that could neither
he penetrated nor surmounted. Seeing
the destruction that threatened the six
hundred lives, the engineer, Joseph A
Sieg, rushed through the smoke and
flame back to the burning cab
Nearly minute passed-it seemed an
age to the paralyzad passengers, penned
up, and swiftly rushing to a horrible
death-and then the train stopped. The
passengers knew that the engineer had
succeeded in putting on the air-brskes

The stopping of the train allowed the
fame to shoot upward and to disclose

NUMBER 40:
Statue of Liberty.

In The ancient world great statue
was erected by the people of tie Island.
OF Rhodes, in the Mediterranean,t to show
their gratitude to the Egyptian King,
who was their ally in war, aud who, COM
ing to their rescue, enabled them to tri-
umph over the King of Macedonia, who
was making an assault upon their libar-
ties. This statue, known to the ancient
world as The Seventh Wonder of the
World, was brszen statue to Apollo.
The statue was los feet high and hollow,
with winding stairway ascending to the
head!
After standing for more than half
century it was oserhrown by an earths
quake, 224 years before Christ, and lay
where it fell while 900 years glided away
until the fierce -Saracens came and
seized upon the island. These fierce
warriors who came from the desert
shouting, hGod is God, and Mohamet is
his Prophet seeing the brazen image
lying where it fell 900 years before, sold
it to Jew The Jew was the Yankee
of the ancient world. He was ready to
buy anything from q toothpick to an
empire. if he could turn an honest penny
bv SO doing. The Jew found thai the
great statue made 800 camel loads. From
the amount Usually put upon the back OF
q camel it has been estimated that the
weight of the statue was 720, 900 pounds.
This great work cost The people of
Rhodes between four and five hundred
thousand dollars! In that day money
was not so plenty and much more vslua-
BILE than in the present age, so that the
people of Rhodes spent upon the statuei
to show their gratitude to the King Of
Egypt, sum equal to $4,000 0CU at the
present day The people OF France, re-
nowned in war all the way down through
the centuries, rich aud prosperous peo-
pie to-day, gave the people Of the Re-
public of the United States present of

pie of the great American metropolis
are now engaged iu raising money to

This pedestal is to cost $3.50, ,Oe0 and
to be 145 feet high. The statua 20 be

height, making the top of the statue 290
feet above the base. This great statue
when erected will be the wonder Of tha

English and American Clyil Service.

Those who talk about. the English
system in connection with our civil ser
vice, and about the feudal system in con
nection with the English service, know
nothing about the English system OF
the feudal system. Our Washington
correspondent gives the views of one oI
these opponents Of all reform, who said ::
"Originally the author meant to mod
ell the hillsupon the English civil service,
forgetting -ors was it remembered p
that the feudal system, against which
single revolt founded our present civil-
zation and crowned the people as SOW
ereigns, left heredity as the only seed OF
despotism to flourish in new soil.."
What does this mean? 1t is sheer
nonsense, and means absolutely moth
ing The English system belongs to
the Eaglish form of government. 1t
can not be said that it would be bad
system for US, because it must be said
that it would be for US an impossible
system. No comparison is possible
To compare the best possible English
with the best possible American system,
and to say one would be better than the
other, would be like ssying chestnut
tree is better than an oak tree. The
new English system was for England,
and. conformably to the English form
of government, such prote against a
boss system as the American people are
| oat in thoir nd f0
bly, to their own system OF popular gov
ernment
The English system made the Offices
belong to few great men, to be sold,
given to favorites, bestowed for The fa-
vors of political harlots, aud for the fa-
vors of women, and for God knows
what. II was as corrupt a system OF
favoritsm, bossism, political corruption,
barter and sale as the world ever saw,
save in France, under the ancien regime
The present system was the result of a
civil service reform which overturned
the old system completely and entirely.
Whatever defects it may have of its own
kind it suits England, and is q vast i'm
proVement upon Tue on ii we can
reach an ideal democratic system at once
suited to republican government, and
nearer perfection for US than for Eng
land, so much the better.
Oar movement is in no way like their
reform movement, except in this, that il
is also protest against system of dis
graceful favorltism, bestowal of the peo,
ple's Offices for personal services, and
of tyrannical bossism. Our old system
is not like the old system of England,
except In that it is vicious. II has its
own vices, aud 1t will have its own rem
edies 1t is not so corrupt or so utterly
rotten, with all its defects, as the old
English system. We may hope that the
reform Democracy has forced the Re-
publicans to adopt will place it as far
ahead of that of England as our old
system, with all its vices, is ahead of the
old system which England reformed a
few years ago Cincinnati NeRs.
