THE CHURCH DUDE.

Perhaps the most expressive Arae-
rican word which has lately been
coined is "Dude." 1t signifies
young man of that class, which is in,
creasing to such an alarming extent,
who is deficient in manly energy
Circumstances over which he has
no control place him in position
where he can drift along-and he
drifts.
A dude drifts into business-or
drifts into a situation, if no wealthy
relative will set him up in business
drifts into badness a little, not
enough to hurt him very considera-
bly,, and generally drifts into "old
achelorhood." At the age of forty
the elder dude can be easily distin.
guished by his slightly bald, but
carefully brushed head, seated in the
front row at comic opera, ogling
the ballet girls.
Should the dudes relatives, how.
ever, be church. going people, with
equal facility he drifts into the
church, where he is of about as much
use and benefit az a broken hinge
When a collection is being taken up
be drifts out, and when church So
ciable is being held he drifts in,
though occasionally he develops an
unwonted degree of energy and
strength in the climbing of step.lad.
ders during church decoration. In
these "piping times of peace" when
no persecution tests the courage OF
the professors Of religion, the dude
exists in all his gloro in the church
Far otherwise would it be should &
Neronian epoch be reinaugurated, Of
the ghastly horrors of the lnquisl
ton be renewed in our midst. A
dude but seldom mentions his relig
ion. If speaking on the subject, h
says, "the church which l attend,
not to which I belong" and it woul'
take double -barreled microscope t.
discover from his walk and convel
sation in the world that he isa chris
tian at all. t%.....
How discoursging it is to preac
to dudes ministers alone can tell
Not bad enough to be desperatel
wicked and not good enough to b
holy, they are set of India rubbe
balls, and the impression intended
be stamped in is effaced on leavin

What the church needs is viriI
energy on the part of her young me
muscular Christianity in the trr
sense of the word that they, wbe
their time shall come, may take upe
their strong young shoulders Il
burdens which the elders lay dow
when they have finished the ra
which is set before them, that th'
may receive the crown of glory.
The transition from the dude sta
to that of energetic Christianity
hard, but it has been accomplish
in many instances, and when it
done, it is wonderful to see the jel

Railroad Compensation.

Washington, Judge Lawrence,
first comptroller of the treasury,
rendered a decision to-day, in favor
of the st. Louis and San Francisco
Railroad company's claim for the
transportation of stationary on
account of the United States from
st. Louis to the collector of the in
ternal revenue at Springfield, Mis-
souri,. The question involved was
whether or not land grant railroad
companies are entitled to payment
by government for the transporta-
ton service. The act making a
grant Of public lands in aid Of the
st. Louis. and San Francisco Rail-
road Company provides that this
railroad shall return to the public
highway for the use of the govern
ment Of the United States, free
from toll, or other charges, upon
the transportation of any property
or troops of the United States.
Judge Lawrence, however, holds
that Congress in subsequent acts
made appropriations for the pay
ments to land grant railroads which
had not received within ffty per
cent. of the full amount due for
transportation services, contingent
upon their written acceptance of
the terms of acts, which is simply a
REIMBURSEMENT of further claims for
compensation beyond Gfty per cent.
and the st. Louis and San Francisco
Company having filed its acceptance
with the third auditor of the treas.
ury, the company is entitled to pay
ment at the rate Of fifty per cent. Of
full amount upon the basis of the
tariff rates for transportation per
formed for the public at large.

Civil Service Rulers.

Washington, "A special meet.
ing was held to-day to consider the
civil service regulation now wait.
ing the Presidents action. AL
the members were present except
the encouragement. The session
lasted 215 hours, and the regulations,
as presented by the civil service
commission, were agreed to without
substantial change, although it was
deemed advisable to change the
mode of expression In certain rules.
There was one question which the
Cabinet found difficult to decide:
The custom which is now observed
in making appointments in the
several executive departments and
which in the treasury has the force
of law is to distribute among the
states and territories upon the basis
Of population. It is questioned
whether strict adherence to this
rule would not, in many cases, ham,
per the administration Of civil SER
vice and a majority of the mem
bers OF the Cabinet incline to the
view that appointments under the
civil service rules should be made
strictly upon merit, as determined
by the competitive examinations
regardless of the residence of the
successful candidate. A decision,
however, has not yet been reached
by the cabinet upon this point.
Eaton, civil service commissioner,
said this evening that one Of the
clauses of the new civil service law
provides that appointments
shall be distributed among
the states and territories In propor-
ton to population, so far as prac-
ticable; but as this clause comes
with several others under q common
head, as propositions which are to
be carried only as far as the good of
of the administration OF law will
permit, he did not think it would
prove source of much difficulty.
He said, further, that it should be
borne in mind that the law had no.
thing to say with regard to the pro-
portion in which the several states
and territories are represented in
the appointments already made, and
that the present representation of
the states and territories would not
be taken into consideration in de-
termining the future appointments.
as the law refers solely to the ap.
pointments hereafter to be made
also, that the provisions of the law
inquestion relates to appointments,
not to examinations. OF course the
examinations would be made, he
said, with view to supplying the
appointment power with proper
material, and the President will ap'
prove the regulations as soon a:
they shall have been altered to meet
his views.

left the following card: Sargent's
letter was translated from the con-

stated the translation was made

Meyer says he has information that
hosiery manufacturers of Germany
are moving to secure the abolition
of prohibitory legislation against
pork, to test what action will be
taken by the next United States
Congress imposing duty on hosiery
which will exclude its importation,
and would be disaster to the
industry in Germany. By the mea.
sure presented in Congress q
thousand operatives In Germany
would be thrown out of the means
of gaining a livelihood, and millions
Of dollars of capital would be
wasted. OF the $7,500,0 900 worth Of

Wholesale Abuse of Pensioners.
II "VIt7'iIO = V"oV VI V'IHI''IVI"'
From the Cincinnati Commercial. /

! From the Cincinnati COmmerciGtl
| Men who were in the army tell US that a
good many pensioners were not soldiers; that
| hundreds and thousands are drawing pensions
/ who were never in the army in any capacity.
| They are put on by members of Congress- who
combine to vote their favorites public money
under false pretences.
| 1t is high time the country was aroused on
! the sVbject of pension frauds. The tried and
| true soldiers should be foremost in the ex-
posure of the enormous swindles that are drain
/ ing the Treasury and disturbing, there is reason
/ to fear, the vcneration of the country for the
/ heroes Of the war.
What objection is there to the publication Of
! the pension lists? So far as they are of the de-
| serving they are rolls of honor, and nothing
would be so effective TO point out the undeserV-
ing as the daylight glare of publicity.
There are nearly 100000 pensioners drawing
money from the public Treasury, with an enOr
nous and increasing number of applications,
| including great number on the rejected files
Subject to re-examlnation," and now we hear
of projects to pension everybody who was in
the remotest way engaged in the late war with
! England seventy years ago. and all who were
| in the Mexican war. Then there is an organ
lied effort to have $40 a month paid to each
soldier who lost limb or suffered injury
equivalent" to that, and there are pension
agents who could make out on the papers bad
cold caught by a teamster equivalent to the loss
of leg by a soldier. Here is what the Com
missioner of Pensions tells us in his late report,
which has not been so extensively read and
carefully studied as it should be. He says:
There are now on file 253 6iS pending and rejected
late war claims which were filed prior to July l,
1880, and, allowing twenty per cent for rejection,
there would be 2U2,9l9 for admission and entitled
to the benefits of the arrears acts. If these should
be placed on the pension roll simultaneously, he
calculates that the amount of arrears the present
value of each case allowed would be in the agcre-
rrg,t.s 1plu 1inrs On hp
proposition it would increase the present roll of
pensioners from 29l656 TO 4gi,515, and the annual
value would be, in round numbers, S5O,0O000O
Heretofore it has been our boast that when
the rebellion was over our army disbanded and
returned to the ways of peace and the paths of
industry, and our first point when we compare
ourselves with the other nations of the earth is
that we dO'nOt burden ourselves with standing
army. But no other nation ever had such
standing army Of pensioners.
