Her supple figure. 1.-The and strong.
swayed as she sang this g~ulleless song
"Oh, I'm Maud Muller. blithe and gay.
Here In the meadow making hay.
The work Is hard. but dad is old.
The stocking home Is full OF gold.
And III should refuse TO do,
That which daddy tells me to.
l fear hat Maud In daddy's will
Would figure up for ~cipher-ni.
And 50 ! work and siaye-persplre
In fear OF dear old daddy's Ire.
In dread that ere his breath Is spent
He'll cut me on without a cent"
Twas thus that Maud one Summers day.
Was raking up the new-mown hay.

CIVIL SERVICE.
Commissioner Gre0ory's Letter GA the Sub
ject of assessments.

Commissioner Gregory's Letter on the Sub
ject of assessments.
Prof. Gregory, of the civil service commits
sion, hes written a long letter on the subject
of political assessment, the chief points OF
which are the following: The grand intent OF
those sections of the civil service act which
relate to contributions for political purposes
are two-fold: First-To prevent the use OF
government places and funds as forces 10
control elections. Second-To protect the
government employees from compulsory con-
tributions to the political funds. The govern
ment clerk is employed to work for the people
and not for the party. His pay comes from
earns is hence his own. 1t is gross tyranny
to extort from him any part OF his earnings
by threat of removal or promise or promo
ton. The clerk, outside of his clerkship, is
still citizen, and as such has Il common in
terest with all good citizens in the progress
and welfare of his country, the common right
to vote and express opinions from associa-
tons with those of like opinions, and use
money In all lawful ways to promote his
opinions. AS an officer or empioye OF the
government strictly under the authority OF
congress in all his official work and relations,
he must not violate any of the four proniDi-
lions of the civil service act; but, OUTSIDE OF
official life and relations beyond the realm OF
duty to and connection with the government,
he becomes a simple citizen and having the
duties, interests and rights of his feliow-cltl-
Zens not in public employ. The interpreted
ton of the civil service act and the path of
duty required is plain to all who will honestly
regard its two grand aims-one an absolute
defense of the ballOt-boX from corruption or
cOrrupting influence, and the other protec-
ton of government officials from political
assessments. In these two great public de-
mands that law must and will be fully and
fairly enforced.

"The condition of affairs is more encouraging.
There are fewer cases and deaths. Cases,

The court of inquiry appointed to investi-
gate the commission of the Talapoosa and Bal
timore schooner finds the Talapoosa did all in
its power TO avoid collision, complied with
the law in all respects and that the blame rests
with the schooner. The department approved
the finding of the court.
Superintendent Thompson, of the railway
service, has returned after visit of inspec-
ton to railway mail routes west of Omaha.
He Travelled over the Union, Central and
Northern Pacific railroads and made many
suggestions looking to the improvement of
the mail service, which were as rule imme-
diately put in practice by officials.
Frank S. Mason, United States consul at
Marseilles, has sent to the department. of
state translation of the Semaphore, of that
city, which says: "The harvest of 1884 has
been plentiful and the situation is nearly the
same as in 1882, except that now there is q
large available surplus preceding the crops,
which will make the demand for foreign pro-
ducts less, even if this years crop is 10 or 20
per cent less than in that year. There is no
probability that the prices of cereals will
raise to the rate of two years ago."

1t is expected the Egyptian government
will simply make a formal acknowledgement

Egypt to break international law in regard to

paper says, cannot be allowed to dispose of
Egypt as she sees fit.
Baron de Courcel, French ambassador to
Berlin, informed Prime Minister Ferry that
Germany, Austria and Russia had decided to

A Shanghai dispatch to the London Times
states Franco-Russian alliance means the
disintegratiOn of China and its participation
between those two countries, France ticking
the three southern provinces and Russia hav-
ing China as recruiting ground for her

The Western Rdil,cay Lines Reach an IOree-

The railway problem in the west, says
Chicago dispatch, has been finally solved. At
an adjourned session of the general managers
of all western and southwestern roads held
here, the initial proposition to form four pools
on Colorado and Utah business, taking the
Missouri river as the dividing line. making
two pools east and two west of that stream,
was finally unanimously agreed upon. The
action of the conference provides that rates
shall be maintained until October 9th, when,
provided the agreement is signed by the pres
identS of the roads, the pools will enter into
effect and remain in force until the close of
the present year. There appears to be
no question but that the pools will
dents, and the new combination is already
looked upon as fixed fact. The general
freight agents of several lines will meet to-
DAY to agree upon Il tariff and the delicate
duty OF arranging percentages has been re-
ferred to Joseph f. Tucker, as in the case of
the newly formed Nebraska pool. Commits
siOncrs for the two pools will be named here
ally looked upon as a complete abandonment
OF the tripartite agreement, as the advantages
given under that compact to several of the
roads are entirely waived. 1t directs that the
combination have the power of making west
crn rates beyond the Missouri river. and the
new compact provides for the pooling of all
Union Pacific business. 1t is not expected
in any advance in the published tariff rates,
but will simply insure their maintenance and
cause the restoration of tariff rates between
here and southwestern points.

breeding, and forged pedigrees containing
more valuable strains of blood, and sold them
in this country to the detriment of the horse
