During the recent Mississippi cyclone a
mule and fence-rail went up among the
clouds in company. The mule came down
first and landed on his back. The rail fol-
lowed, and striking the stomach of the mule,
not only went entirely through the animal,
but two feet into the ground, besides.

81 AM filled with Holy Ghost powder, and

the female soldiers of the Syracuse Salvation
Army the other day. This doesn't sound
much like Holy Ghost religion" suggests the

sounds like the blasphemous drivel which is
characteristic of all the utterances of these
disgusting cranks.

No Mercy for Assassins.


Monticello Herald.
The dynamite fiend wherever he may be
found, or in whatever cause engaged, whether
Russian Nihilist, French Communist, Irish
Land-leaguer, or California sand-lotter, is an

that has such men to deal with should show
them no mercy.

THE total eclipse of the sun occurs on Sunday
next, May 6. As is already known, it will not be
visible in its totality to any inhabited portion of
the globe. 1t begins in latitude $50 south, and
in longitude 1910 west from Greenwich, or about
400 miles east of the southeastern point of Aus
tralia, and sweeps in the shape of bow north
east to the south of the FIJI and Friendly islands,
leaving the Hervey group and the Society
islands on its right 1t reaches its northern
point just above the Marquesas, and thence runs
southeast through unbroken sea to point about
600 miles from the coast of Peru. 1t happens,
however, that along this path, go evasive of
terra frma, there are a couple of rocks III the
ocean large enough for a hut and a telescope.
One of these rocks is Caroline Island-not to be
confounded with the Caroline islands of the
Micronesian group some 1000 miles distant
and the other is called Flint island. They are
not to be found on any ordinary atlas. They lie
both of them, in longitude 1900, nearly
from Greenwich. One is 90 40i, and
the other is Ito 30' south of the equator, to the
westward of the Marquesas. On the northern
most OF these rocks the duration of totality will
be five minutes and twenty seconds; on the
sOuthernmOst thirteen seconds longer. The
unusual duration of the totaity of occultation
renders this eclipse of great value to scientists
as it may enable them better to observe the
phenomena already familiar, to increase the ac-
curacy of the various calculations and to con-
firm or disprove the presence of an intra-Mer-
curial planet. The party dispatched by the
British Royal Astronomical Society and the
American party are stationed Caroline
island, while the French expedition occupies
Flint island. The expeditions will hardly be
heard from at all before a month.

Much hypocriEIcal sniyeling has been
INDUCED In about civil sersice reform,
bat two Of the Ihsat imporlans conaid-
erasiona connected With tho whole
subject have beeh generally overlooked.
Much labor aud a.ud3 hare been ex-
pended il getting up civil service rules
under which competitive examinations
for positions in the civil service are
conducted. The literary qualifications
are acrupnlously and pedagogically
determined and inquired into. But
The really great and most important
qualification, that Of scrupulous homes
Fly, seems to be entirely lost sighs Of.
The experience Of the last few years
discloses the fact that public faith and
official integrity are at q distressingly
low ebb, and as necessary consequence,
peculation, defalcations, and official
corruption are as commonplace as mat
Ter Of course things.
No public officer win be credit to
the State unless his integrity, like
Caesars wife, Is above suspicion. II
matters not what care and labor may
Be bestowed in getting complete and
Thorough knowledge of the literary at
tainments of applicants for places in
| the civil service, and the appointment
of those only who have full literary
Requirements for the places sought
after, yet if these applicants be moi
honest and faithful in the discharge ol
public duties then indeed viii such
lpnblic servants be q drawback and
detriment to the public service. True
there is no certain way of determining
whether a. applicant be honest or not,
but the number Of those who gain ad,
mission into the public service and
Iprove unfaithful might be very materi.
lally lessened If severe and bitter pun.
lishment were more universally metec
oat 70 them. The press Of the country
have great duty TO perform in ednca-
ting the public mind up to higher
standard of official integrity. Ths
defaulser and unfaithful public official
should be held up to public scCrn and
lpublic contempt.
Another matter much overlooked Il
the great number of sine cure Offices
created for the certain purpose Of re-
warding party hacks for dirty partisan
work. Hundreds Of these Offices are
Of no earthly use to any one except to
him who fills it. The incumbents draw
liberal salaries and perform no. service.
Here Is as great an opportunity for a
genuine reformation as can Be found,
and Jet the great reformers such as
Eaton, Curtis and others are silent up
On this subject. Let us have ell these
useless and corrupt appendages Of > cor
rupt Republican administration Topped
of and the result win be bona fde
civil service reform.

KIsKRvED RacHTs.

Il ;s said, says the San Francisco
Eram;ner, that Judge Foraker. the
Republican candidate for Governor OF
Ohio, declared in recent public ad-
dress that "a man who talks about the
reserved rights Of the States Is one
whom no soldier can listen so.n
The reverse Of this proposition might
be put in this ray: The man who ig-
nores or denies the reserved rights Of
the States is Too big fool or to great
fanatic TO be intrusted with Office.
The nation Of which Judge Foraker
Is such . jealous advocate has no real
existence outside Of the concession Of
the States. The Federal Government
does not exercise It's power a. distinct
nationality, but a. o creation OF the
States, which expressly declared that
the powers not conceded to the General
Governmen. ''are reserved to the States,
respectively, aud to the people" This
being constitutional declaration, is
supposed to be accepted as . self
evident proposition by all citizens
except Republicans, who, like Judge
Foraker, have extremely advanced
ideas upon the question Of Federal M
tionality. Il is not improbable, how
ever, that the Ohio candidate confused
the old State Rights dOctrine Of lhe Sc.
cessionists with the reserved rights Of
the States. There i broad distinc-
ton between them. Estate Rights, "
or its logical cOrollary, Secession, was
settled by the war. The sword declared
/ il to be m impracticable political
principle. But the reserved rights Of
the States cannot be destroyed until
the Constitution Is annniled. There
are, however, . great many Republi.
cans-and perhaps Judge Foraker is
cne Of them-who think that the
/ Republican party is much higher than
the Constitution. These people spell
nation with a big n and believe in
Capitalization of power and authority.
The logical drift Of such opinions is to
monarchy, more or less absolute. Hap
PLY, however, the great body OF the
people cling 70 the form Of government
as the ConstitRtion made il. They
declare for strict construction Of that
instrument and deny to President or
Congress the exercise Of doubtful
powers. As long ~ the Democratic
party exists those who hold to these
views will have an exponent Of their
principles and among the most con-
spicuous and cherished Of these are the
reserved rights of the States.

The Philadelphia Times says that
when the two houses Of the Pennsylya-
MIA Legislature hold session it costs the
people about three thousand dollars an
hour, and that when there is no session
the cos. is about three thousand dollars
day for Legislators staying at home
and transacting their private business.
The observation is added that "tbe peo-
pie are about to strike at this double-
distilled tomfoolery.n If the Times IS
right in its arithmetic, it Is high time
fer the people to strike, and strike with
