Civil Ser woe in the State.


II is proposed that the Legislature
shall pass bill applying the principles
of the Pendleton civil service act to the
appointment of certain subordinate Off
GERS of the state government. A com
mission is to be established which is to
make recommendations for appoint
ment on the basis of merit ascertained
by means of competitive examination.
The lieutenant governor is to be the
president of the commission and is to
serve without compensation. There
are to be two other commissioners, not
Of the same political party, who shall
each be paid salary of $4,000 per an
mum. No removals nor appointments
shall be made for political reasons.
1t is quite probable that the states
men who are bored half to death to Sc
cure places for clamorous Office seekers
are willing to consent to the passage of
such a measure. 1t is not so clear,
however, that the professional Office
hunters or the "best workers in the
ward will be charmed with its provi-
sions. II is to be doubted too whether
heads of departments, who feel the re-
sponsibility for the proper performance
of the duties with which they are
charged and which in great part they
are obliged to commit to their subor-
dinates, will relish the proposition.
But, then, it is "civil service reform
and that is quite sufficient to commend
1T to the political purists and pietists
of the hour.
If the bill is to pass it should be
| carefully scrutinized aud put in such
shape as not to interfere with the eff
cheney of the public service. Care
should be taken that the inferior officer
does not become independent of his
proper superior. The present clerical
force in each of the departments should
be subjected to the same rule which is
to be applied when new heads are cho.
sen. If this last idea be omitted from
the bill it will simply prove measure
to give the present incumbents OF the
subordinate office life tenure. Ger
tainly opportunity should be given tc
remove officials who were appointed
simply on account of service to party
If it be improper to make appointments
to office on mere political grounds those
office-holders who are appointed solely
on such grounds should not be permit
ted to retain office for the remainder Ol
their lives. The legislature will prob
ably find this civil service bill rather
hard nut 10 crack. Harrisburg Pa

Rev. Elliott, Chaplain of the House
of Representatives at Harrisburg, in a
recent prayer gave thanks that the civ
il authorities are now greater than the
military, and that no bayonets were
present at the Inauguration. This SEN
timent has given great offense to some
republican members, because it was a
"political prayer They seem to for.
get that during the war which has
been their stock in trade for the past
twenty years, it was very common
thing for ministers to preach
politics from the pulpit, aud men
who were unwilling to sit quietly and
submit to the abuse heaped upon them
selves and their party, were called
'disloysl." 1t strains a point copsid-
erably to detect anything Of political
character in what Chaplain Elliott
said, but republican nerves are in a
very sensitive condition, not having
fully recovered from their overthrow
last fall, aud some allowance must be
made for them.

Pension Laws and Agents.

Several so-called soldiers newspa-
papers" are published here and in diff
ferent States. They are commonly ad-
vertising sheets for pension and claim
agents, and designed to consolidate in
the hands of the publishers the "claim
agency" business of the whole country.
These publications, it seems, have CO.
operated to incite pensioners to aug
ment their demands upon the govern
ment. They would multiply the num-
ber and increase sums paid pensioners.
With this purpose they have sent out
private petitions to be signed every.
where and sent back to the two Houses
of Congress. 1t is further urged. by
claim agents, that pensions paid MAIN
ed and wounded men, whether officers
Or privates, should be equalized. In
this at least there is justice but these
claim agents would have the whole
army of pensioners given the same
sums paid to officers. They never
think of reducing the sums paid epau
lets to an equality with those paid to
bayonets and spades. And yet Gen.
Dudley of the Pension Bureau asks
for one hundred millions, and quarter
of million is invested in building
for the occupancy of Pension Bureau
clerks. Meanwhile there is no proper
Legislation designed to prevent frauds
on the part of claimants, whose mum.
bers and vices are such that the bust
ness of the Pension Bureau is only re
tarded by the infinite care required
in the detection and prevention Of
fraud.
Disabled and wounded soldiers
should be pensioned. They should no,
want food and clothing, and officers
and soldiers should be served alike. The
burdens of battles and campaigns bore
most heavily upon common soldiers
and these should even be preferred il
dispensing Federal beneiactions bu
it does not follow that burdens of taxa
ton should be made so intolerable b,
pension agents, pandering to tina
growing greed for gold which grows
by what it feeds upon, that the necessi
ty for the abrogation of the Who'll,
Pension Code may be forced upon the
country.-American Reaister.

after the collision defy description
The passengers, many of whom were
women and children, woke up sudden
ly and rlshed on deck hither and
thither screaming with terror. First
one boat was lowered and then anoth
er. There were eight boats, but the
ship sank SO rapidly on the starboard
side that many people fell into the
water The four boats on the port
side were quickly filed with people,
but could not be lowered on account of
the angle at which the ship lay. The
four on the starboard side safely reach
ed the water, but boat No. capsized
and those in it struggled for short
time and then sank But No. 7, under
command of the second officer, with
twenty eight persons and another
boat with eleven persons got away
safely, and after drifting twelve hours
were picked up near Cuxhaven.
FIGHTING FOR RESCUE.
A third boat with seventeen per-
sons was rescued by the bark Dia-
mant, bound from New York to Bre-
men. These were all that were
saved. Among them Mr.. B. E. Lor-
enz, of Frankfort, one of the rescued,
gave long account of the terrible
scenes he witnessed. Though the
officers did their duty nobly, they were
unable to maintain order. Men, wom-
en- and children were mad with fear
Those who had secured places had a
violent struggle to keep the boat from
being swamped. The six Indians
were driven away by some sailors by
axe blows Oh their hands. Captain
Hansen stood till the last moment on
the bridge, but could have no control
over the five hundred terror stricken
human beings beneath him.
| DEATHS CARNIVAL.
Men, women and children-whole
families clung together in despair. One
young married couple preferred to
meet death quickly by cutting each
others's veins. The ships doctor, Herr
Feige, some of the stewards and the
stewardess, Bauernn, and some officers
distributed life saving belts to the last
moment, but those thus provided were
not benefited, for most of them died
from the severe cold. The survivors
who escaped in boats say that when
they rowed away the water was COW
cred with dead bodies, kept up by life
belts. Only few were alive when
they left, and of these as many were
taken into the boats as possible.
WHERE WAS THE SULTAN?
Scarcely fifteen minutes elapsed after
the collision until the vessel sank. The
screams of the drowning could be
heard long distance away and must,
they say have been heard by the people
on board the Sultan. No complaint
has been made against the Cimbra's
crew, although of the saved twenty.

sen stood on the bridge till the ship

gers to the last moment Second Off
Ger Spruthzen with an axe was cutting
off woodwork for RATS for the passen-
gers while the ship was going under
water, and after sinking he was picked
up by one of the boats. The third

out of the water.

Pattison's Position.
EXPLANATIONS FROM THE GOVERNORS
FRIENDS.

Harrisburg Dispatch to Record.
Some of Governor Pattison"s friends
feel called upon to deny some of the
rumors that have been atloat regard
ing him and those near him inaugura-
ton week. AS sample story, they
instance that in which it is represented
that he snubbed a reception commit
tee at the depot on his arrival here
ana refused the tender of carriage.
So far from doing this, the Governor
and party looked for carriages when
they got out of the cars, but there were
none, and Mr.. Pattison and his gentle
men friends walked, while the ladies
were crowded into one of the old fash
ioned omnibuses and hauled to the exc
cutive mansion. There was no snub-
bing of committee, Another instance
was his refusal of an escort from the
Amerlcus club. In defense of this it
is urged that Governor Pattison had
already, in quiet way, refused an es-
cort from the State fencibles, and it
would have been gratuitous insult to
the national guard to accept civilian
escort after refusing the offer of the
crack military organization of the
State.
a gentleman close to the governor
was asked how the governor regarded
the attacks made upon him by certain
newspapers because of his appointment
of Hon. Lewis G. Cassidy, as attorney
general. "lIe doesn't care the snap of
his finger for the attacks" said the gen
tleman, "He never said he would not
appoint Mr.. Cassidy attorney general
have been close to him for months,
and never heard even hint to that
effect
Having failed in their attacks on the
governor, his enemies are now turning
their attention to ridiculing Rev. Mr..
Everett, his private secretary, alleging
that in presenting communication to
the Senate the latter said II have a
message in writing from the governor. "
The irreverent critics forget to state
that Mr.. Everett added; "Of the COM
monwealth," A very proper proceed
ing, and it may be said that the COVER

An Ocean Horror.
PARTICULARS OF THE LOSS OF THE GIN

PARTICULARS OF THE LOSS OF THE CIM-
BRIA.
HAMBURG, Jan. 23.-According to
the latest information 445 lives were
lost in the Cimbria disaster. There were
402 passengers and "a officers and
crew on board. Of these cnly 56 so
far have been rescued. Of six steam
ers sent ont by the Hamburg American
steamboat company on Saturday night
four have not yet returned, but as the
two which returned found nothing,
there is scarcely any hope left that
more of the unfortunates are olive
The cold at the time of the disaster
was so intense that many perished
therefrom before sinking into their
watery grave. The question who is to
blame for the catastrophe will, as usual,
have to be settled by court ofinquiry.
There is the same amount of assertions
and contradiction as in the case of the
City of Brussels.
Serious charges are made against
Captain Cuttil, of the Sultan, for bis
conduct after the collision, and his
neglect to make any efforts to render
assistance to the Cimbria or even to
see if the Cimbria was in trouble at
all. The officers of the Cimbria say
that if the captain of the Sultan had
taken the trouble to act humanely he
might have saved a hundred lives. He
was only two ships lengths
away when the Cimbria's officers were
clearing their boats. The latter saw
her lights for a short time and saw Q
light lowered, and believed her captain
| about to send off boats, but in few
minutes her lights disappeared. She
neither signalled nor fired any guns
nor answered the lights of distress
burned by the Cimbria,
DOUBTFUL STORY.
On being questioned ia day the cap
tain of the Sultan says that he stayed
round the spot where the collision oc
Cured till daylight. In that h,
thought he had done his duty. Ever
this assertion will be questioned, as i
is impossible he could have done 81
without picking up many OF the nun
dreds OF people in the water 1t i
evident that he did nothing but thinl
of his own safety. About this ther,
could not long have been any doubt
as the injuries to the Sultan were higl
up and the sea was not rough. Th,
question of negligence will be for
competent authority to decide. Wha
is certain, however, is that the captain
of the Sultan neglected to forward th
news of the disaster at the earliest mo
ment.

fore the Inauguration, that he had
walked up to the capitol to take the
oath of Office, that he refused to ride
in the procession, and other trivial mat
ters, These were all things of person
al taste, and IL Governor Pattisor
chose to be inaugurated in that, way
he had right to do so. No doubt, il
would have been more satisfactory &c
the many people who went to Harris

crowd at the time of the delivery of the

have been more convenient for the
Governor to speak from, than the small
table on which he stood. But thes,

must be charged upon the committe,
