be the measures Of usefulness. The rules Of
the Civil Service Commission will govern all
minor appointments" >,
This is what Governor Cleveland said
long since. 1t means in the first place that
all those who are not fit for the public ser
vice must quit it, and that their fitness or un
fitness will be..ascertained. 1t means second
ly that he believes firmly in civil service
with al that it implies.
1t is surprising how many there are now
who, notwithstanding their utter lack o.
capacity, are consoling themselves with the
hope that civil service, which but yesterday
they sneered at, will save them and keep
them where they never should have been.
Civil service reform is not the retugium
peccatorum-the refuge Of sinners, but it is
the righting Of existing wrongs. As l said
before, the record of public servant is a
scroll OF prophecy, it points two ways, to the
past and to the future. 1t is the safest in
dex to the future. if it be good one; if not,
it is the strongest proof Of unworthiness. 1t
serves in the three-fold capacity Of Judge,
Jury and attorney.
The sentence pronounced upon it is not
likely to be an unjust one. SELBY.

COLEaIAS'S CASE.

The Dismissal Stands Good-what viii the
US. Court DO.
The famous case of the West Virginia Oil
and Oil Land Company is ended, as far as
the Supreme Court Of West Virginia is con-
cerred. II was great case, involving nearly
every element, including the sensational G.
D. Coleman obtained a Judgment against
die company,in the circuit court Of Ritchie,
which the company appealed to the supreme
court. Before it came to trial, Mr.. Cole
man appeared with an agreement Of dis
missal, signed BY President Compton. At
the same time, Attorney Sands, OF Parkers-
burg. appeared by letter and said the COZ
sent of Compton was wrongfully obtained
and he, as attorney, objected to the dismIs-
sal. Coleman said Sands had been dis
charged and had no right to appear and
finally the court set the matter for hearing.
In the meantime, the creditors of the COM
pany had a receiver, Judge Eoomis,
appointed by the United States Court,
which court enjoined Coleman from dis
nursing the case; and when he came here
he was arrested by the U. S. Marshal. When
the case came up in court. on the motion to
dismiss as agreed, he simply said he was in
duress and his mouth was closed. Attorney
Sands made made his argument and, as
readers of. the REGISTER well remember,
kicked up breeze in court by referring to
part Of the record and intimated that i'm
proper relations existed between Compton
and Mrs. Coleman. The case was finally
disposed of yesterday, the Court holding
that Compton could dismiss his case, if he
chose, and accordingly it was dismissed.
What the United States Court will do with
the Injunction, remains to be seen.
The property of the company was bought
in by the Standard Oil Company for Sl7O,,,
900. or $4,000 more than the amount OF
the liabilities. When Coleman comes here
to execute his judgment, which amounts to
about SIS, 900, the other court may show ITS
hand.

PHILADELPHIA, November 22.-George
Suevel and Simeon LePez, Cuban, both
until Yesterday occupied looms at No. 5ll
South Sixteenth street. Among other at
fractions which the house possesses is q
comely cook. Both men centred their at
tentions upon the woman and lately war has
been declared between them on her account.
The climax was reached yesterday morn
ing at the breakfast table, when, after a
passage of words, George began hurting un.
washed dishes at his rival A cup half
Tiled with coffee caught Lepez on the ear,
while plate with remnants OF beefsteak
and gravy alighted back of his neck. George
was then thoroughly aroused, and pulling
forth black jack made attempts to reach
his hated rival, but was prevented by the
cook, who, entering the room, rushed be
tween the men and prevented further vio'
lence.
After Magistrate McClintock had heard
the evidence, he committed Snevel to prison
in default Of $500 bail the charge being as
sault and battery and carrying concealed
| deadly weapons.

ALBANY, November 22-Govornor C!eve.
lard and Lieutenant. Governor Hill have
been in consultation to-day concerning the
Governors resignation and its relation TO
their future action. Governor Cleveland has
not yet decided whether 10 write his annual
message to the Legislature, and not to re.
sign until the first or second week Of the
session, o. to resign Immediately upon the
meeting of the Legislature, thus pat
ting the burden Of the mes

more natural and the one that will save him
most from the embarrassment Of office
seekers from all over the country, should he
be at leisure in Buffalo for any considerable
time, but who would be deferred from visit
ing him if he were engaged in preparing
his mel, age to the Legislature. He also
desires TO round out fully his official record
in this State. Lieutenant Governor Hill is
understood to coincide in these views and
10 have no desire to prepare the message.
If the Governor should resign at the close
of the weeks recess that generally fol-
lows the first meeting OF the Leg.
stature, Mr.. Hill would begin his term
as acting Governor virtually with the begin.

There is no ceremony Of Inauguration, the
Lieutenant Governor assuming power under
