President Arthur has sent the fist annual re-
port of the Civil Service Commission to Con-
gress with his congratulations upon the salts
factory working of the new Civil Service law.
The Commissioners themselves are pleased with
what they have been able to accomplish That
the principles Of the law are now generally
acknowledged to be correct they hold is a mat
tel of satisfaction, as it tends to ronder the en
forcement Of the statute easy. 1t has been
found that the clauses Of the law relating to
political assessment have only been violated in
two or three instances. The Old-time assertion
that college boys would get all the places is re-
futed by the statement that 60 per cent OF all
the applicants for examinations were educated
in the common schools, and that the average
age of those who stood the test of the examina-
tions was thirty-twO years. On the whole, the
Commissioners think no change is needed in the
Civil Service act for fairly testing the new sys-
ten. They close their report with compli-
ment to the President

Long Island City is in commotion. That part
of it which was once the village Of Astoria wants
to become Astoria again, with all the advan-
tages OF disadvantages inherent i'll village gov
ernment. Naturally the residents of other
portions of the city oppose the separation;
so the discussion wakes warm and feeling runs
high. The affairs of Long Island City certainly
were shoclIingly mismanaged for several years;
and that period furnishes the secessionsts with
food for argument But of late there has been
a great improvement in the municipal govern
ment. and therefore the opponents of secession
declare thatit is folly to propose separation The
Astorians are in the minority in point of num-
bers, but they are so intenseyin earnest i'll then
desire to be villagers once more that IT is not
safe to say which party to the contest will
come out ahead,

The well-known dilatOry habits of the Presi-

Next Thursday has been set aside in the AS
sembly for the consideration of the Adirondack
bill. 1t is to be hoped that the members, no
matter what their political or personal prefer
ences may be, will consider this measure care
fully, having in mind only the welfare of this
State. The bill ms it stands now is a compromise
measure. the result of the conflicting sugges-
tions made to the committee from various
sources. all of which deserved consideration.
1t may not be the best that could be framed,
but probably it will prove generally acceptable
to the greatest number. Possibly some advan-
tageous changes can be made in it; but too
much time should not be wasted in discussion.
Every day that passes without some step being
taken to protect the Adirondack forests is
fraught with danger to our commerce on the
Hudson and on the canals.

The Assembly Special Committee s'r"vh "
@lead" yesterday that they will do wen 70
follow up-that is, the failure OF the rarA
Commissioners to furnish maps OF the Iweh'y-
third and Twenty fourth Wards for the use OF
the Tax Department. Provision for tins WORK
was made in 1876, and considerable sums OF
money have been appropriated for it at various
times since; but yet in these eight years only
five maps have been furnished while in all
twenty-four are required. What is the reason
of the delay7 That question has reused good
deal of curiosity within the last year or two
among inquisltive taxpayers. Perhaps the
Assembly Committee can get at the truth.

A Washington dispatch of the 25th
ult., says: Hon. John A. Anderson's
bill providing for the adjustment of
land grants for railroads in Kansas. was
unanimously adopted by the house pub
lie lands committee this morning. II
directs such adjustment to be made by
the courts which provides for the for
fixture of all unearned and wrongfully
certified land, secures the respect of
sales on such land, and protects inno-
cent purchasers occupying the same to
the extent of 100 acres each. 1t is sub
stantially the same as Mr.. Anderson's
first bill heretofore published. 1t will
be reported to the house on Tuesday
next as substitute for the bill which
authorized such an adjustment to be
made by the secretary of the interior.
1t is estimated that should this bill be.
come law it will restore to the public
domain about 100000 of acres and AT
the same time secure to every settler
within railroad limits his lawful and
just rights. 1t is not necessary to say
that Mr.. Anderson and Coy. Crawfofd
who framed the bill, are much elated
over the work thus far accomplished
and in view Of the fact that this unani-
nous report was obtained in the face of
strong opposition well united by an
influence more powerful than argu-
ments, it is victory of which these gen.
tlemen may be proud"

After all the rejoicing over the APP
pointment of Judge Brewer to the posi-
ton of judge OF the Eighth circuit, vice
Judge McCrary, it appears more patent
every day that the compliment was not
so much to Kansas as to the Field fam
lily, he being a nephew of Cyrus W., Da-
vid Dudley and Judge Field of the SUI
preme court. This family educated
Judge Brewer at Yale College, and his
success in the west has been "a great sat
isfaction TO them so it was but natur-
al that they should bring every influence
TO bear to get the president to recognize
their kinsmau. Judge Brewer has had
but little experience as a practitioner,
nearly all of his legal career being OH
the bench. But anyway, we are glad he
was successful.

Grand Combination Sale.

Next week there will be grand four
days sale of thoroughbred registered
cattle of the popular breeds at Kansas
City, commencing on Tuesday, April
9Th, and continuing until all are sold,
the offerings consisting of about $50
head. The Leonards, Of Mt. Leonard
Mo-, and Hon. NJ. ii. Cochrane, of
Compton, Z. q. Canada, are the parties
making this sale, which is of itself a
suficlent guarantee that the sale will
be properly conducted. AS is well
known TO our readers, the Leonards adj
vertised sale at Emporia, Kansas, for
last month, but owing to the excitement
consequent upon the discovery of sew
eral herds of diseased cattle in that To-
callty, they were compelled to declare
the sale OFF, after they had gone to great
expense in advertising, preparing catal-
ogues, etc. Since the unwarranted
scare" about the cattle disease has
died out, it is hoped they will be able to
secure a good attendance of buyers at
their Kansas City sale, but whether the
attendance is large or not, the cattle
viii all be sold if anybody bids. Mr..
COchrane's offerings consist of Gallo

The increasing frequency of divorce.
not only in the United States. but
throughout the civilized world in gener-
al, Is very properly attracting the atten-
ton of thoughtful people. In the cur
rent number of the Princeton Review
there is an interesting paper on the sub
Ject by the Rev. Samuel w. Dixie. The
writer furnishes some striking statistics
TO show that the increase is fact and
not mere suppOsition. There was in
Connecticut in 1919 one divorce to every
thlrty-hve marriages. In 1878 the annu-
al average had become very nearly one
To every ten marriages. The rate in
vermont in 1860 was one to every TWEEN
ty-three marriages in 1878 it was one
TO every fourteen. In New Hampshire
IN 1870 there was one divorce to about
thlrty-one marriages in 1882 there was
one TO less than eleven. In Ohio in 1865
there was one divorce TO every twenty
SIX marriages, while in 1882 there was
one 10 less than seventeen. During the
last six years in Chicago, divorce suit
mas been begun to about every ten ap-
plcations for marriage licenses. And
so on. 1T is safe to say" writes Mr..
Dixie, that divorces have doubled in
proportion to marriages or population
IN most Of the northern states within
thlrty years. Present figures indicate
sun greater increase" No statistics
from the south have been collected.
european statistics show an increase,
out at a less rate than that in the Unit
ed States.

During the special session of the leg
islature we watched carefully the re-
port of proceedings to see if the gentle
man from Barber was making himself
useful, but having failed entirely to see
his name in any shape, we conclude
that Hon. Geo. ID. Orner was not there.
His name was reported among the 9TH
ers present the first day of the session,
but at the time We had an idea he was
not present. Here then is the spectacle
OF the county having in it a greater
number OF cattle than any other county
i'll the state, being without representa-
ton In the legislature at a time above
all Others when it needed voice in the
proceedings. A faithful member could
have had the provisions of the sanitary
Dill made to apply to Texas fever, and
because our member had deserted his
post at the critical moment when his
services were needed, the stock inter-
ests Of this section are allowed to suffer.
We always claimed that Mr.. Orner
had no interest in common with the
people of this county, and now it must
be admitted that we were right.

There win be an opportunity offered
our people next Monday of electing a
first class lot of city officials, and we
hope they will turn out and unite on
good men. We want energetic business
men, who, when elected, win not re-
sign men who will not be made the
tools of self constituted reformers,
cranks and hobby-riders. We need men
who understand the wants of this com
munity, and who will be equal to any
emergency that may arise. Without at
tempting to dictate, we will present a
list of names from among which it were
an easy matter to select a full board OF
councilmen, a mayor and police Judge.
Say for instance s. j. Shepler, A. l..
Freeman, w. w. Cook, ID. Stith, Geo.
Geppert, w. W. Stamford, d. A. Nc
Candless, Geo. w. Ellis, Am. Allen.
Wayne Mckinney, d. VanSlyke, r. NJ.
woodward. j. w. Hale, John Doher.
Chas. Butman, Jas. Boutwell,. These
are all good men.

Cheney Journal The Fort Scott
road is building a bridge across the
river at Wichita. This is believed by
many to be a sure indication that it is
going to build on, and consequently the
Wichita " Western will be extended.
If that is what is going to be done, the
Fort Scott has not commenced any too
soon. BY the conditions of the PROPOSE
ton under which bonds were voted IN
the southern townships, the track is to
be laid to the outside of the county by
the first of August next. If they run
on the preliminary survey there will be
twenty-eight or twenty-nine miles of
locating and grade surveying, grading
and track laying to be done within four
months. Some believe that it is only
for the purpose of building stock yards
and to get more room for their business
at Wichita that the bridge is being
built.

IL is to be hoped that the scare from
the so-called foot and mouth disease
has ended, and that similar fright will
not.take possession of the people soon
again. While there is little doubt that
the disease that existed in Woodson
county was not contagious, and is now
nearly stamped out, it will take several
months to restore entire confidence.
Values of cattle were undoubtedly de-
creased during the excitement, and
many trades that had been commenced
were declared off as soon as the excite
ment broke out. One instance we know
of in this county y party wanted to
put thousand head of cattle on his
range and was looking around for them,
postponed making any purchase, and
even wanted to dispose of what inter-
ests he owns here.
Parties in the east who handle fine
balls report that during the few weeks
OF the excitement their sales were prac-
tically stopped, and it is known that
several public sales were declared off.
Now, however, there is no excuse for
ranchmen holding back from purchas-
ing bulls for their ranges, and we hope
TO hear of several hundred coming into
the county in the next few months.

1t is only question of time when the

The thirty-one cars Of corn contriuut-
eel by the citizens of Sedgewick county
to the food sufferers, was sold at auc-
ton Tuesday at Cincinnati. There was
a large attendance, and bidding was
spirited. The first car was bought by
the Adams express company, and the
remainder was all sold at outside prices.
The committee who accompanied the
train express themselves as highly sat
ished with the result, and are greatly
pleased with their reception. The pro-
cceds will be used IN the relief of per-
sons outside of Cincinnati, in pursu-
ance with the general purpose which
was announced in the beginning of the
food.
