said that the employment of female clerks
by the national government was inaugura

women should enjoy the emoluments as

Fears OF tho Federal ONES ,tolrsrs Com
osrntug the New Administration.
From Col. NJ. Clure's Washington Dispatch.
While there is much trepidatiOn among
the federal office holders hers, the
greatest uneasiueSs caused by the coming
change of party power is the fear of men
of both high and low political estate be-
cause of the open books and sorutinized
documents certain TO follow. Ia Ia an
open secret that Gresham was transferred
from the treasury before he became warm
in the chair because OF exposures which
were inevitable had he remained, and it is
an open secret also that there are a
number of sabordiGates in the treasury
department who can fearful tales unfold
when relieved of political dependence.
Indeed, there IL hardly q department OF
the government that is not in tremor over
the probable oyerhsuling that is TO come,
aud the Pacific railroad magnates, the
Alaska fur iobbers, the great land and
subsidy grabbers aud scores of other great
interests which have long rioted in tn,
Washington lobbies and public depart
ments are in despair at the advent OF
honest government.

A test case that is of great importance
to the press of the country and to the
news demanding public was brought into
court in Boston, on Wednesday, by the
District Attorney OF Suffolk county. The
Boston Globe last Saturday Published o
purported confession of tho mysterious
Lane murder, which occurred at Dorches

to have been made by convict 10 a Jail
some where in New Mexico. Yesterday
City Editor Frost and Samuel Islanders,
ir., reporter for that paper, were sum
moned before the grand jury ard were
asked by the district attorney for the
source of the information contained in the
article. They asked time to consult coun
sci before replying to the questions and
were given two hours.
At the end of that time they stated that
by advice of counsel they declined to ex
pose the secrets of the editorial room. In
reply TO further questions they declined to
state who wrote the article or whether the
information came from q member of the
police department. The district attorney
thereupon notified them that he should
move their commitment for contempt OF
oonrt. They were accordingly arraigned
before Judge Blodgett, of the superior
court. The district attorney stated
that he proposed to find out If the news
papers have the right TO print develop
ment in criminal cases before he has a
chance to bring the facts before the grand
jury. For the defendants it WAS claimed
that they possessed only hearsay knowl'

be compelled to give hearsay testimony.

The real object of the ipquisition is to

The Globe, as a matter Of principle, will
contest the case, and If the commitment
is granted will take the matter before the
supreme court on q writ of habeas corpus.

Tho Late non. Thomas E. rrankiip.

From the Reformed Church Messenger.
He had fiue legal attainments, and was
a cultured scholar. He was above all a
humble Christian and occupied a prominent
position In tho Episcopal church. His
mild and lovely spirit, polished manners
and childlike spirit, won the regard and
respect of all who became acquainted with
him. His pure and honorable life reflects
honor upon the legal profession and the
bar Of which he was member. Suoh .
life is a lasting testimony to the truth Of
tho Christian religion. 1t enabled him to
prove true and faithful in all the relations
of life, in public positions, and in the
scored precincts of the domestic circle. 1t
Is not in unaided human nature to live such
life, aud therefore 1t must be evident
that he enjoyed help and strength from q
superhuman source. Ia these times OF
skeptioism and unbelief it strengthens ones
faith both In God and man to contemplate
such life,
