The United States Cremation Company,
of New York expects to do a fine business
as soon as its bakery Is completed. Many
bodies have already been put in receiving
vaults preparatory to incarceration. The
company boasts that it will soon emanci-

The south's share of the omces.

The South's Share of the Offices.
Civil Service Commissioner Gregory is
not at all pleased, it seems, with the tone
Of an Atlanta dispatch which stated that
his son Alfred had not lived long enough
in Atlanta to wear out his Illinois boots.
The occasion of this reference to young
Alfred's boots was the announcement that
he had been appointed an examiner in the
Pension office, and had been put down as
having been appointed from Georgia.
1t seems that the young man has lived
in Atlanta about a year, but there is moth
ing stated to show whether he had ever
expressed an intention to make that city
his home. 1t may be that he was simply
staying there until a suitable opening for
employment presented itself. OF course
he could not have held very profitable
position in Atlanta, supposing he had any
position, or he would not have given it up
to accept a small government place.
If the young man is a bona fide resident
of Georgia there was no reason why he
should not have had himself appointed
from this State, but if he isn't he ought to
be invited to resign at once. There are
plenty Oh young men III OeOlS ids uOuOb-
less, about whose residence there can be
no question, and who could very well
pass the necessary examination, who
would like to have the position Mr.. Greg
DRY holds. OF course Mr.. Gregory couldn't
have secured an appointment from Hi
nois, because the quota of that State is
full. There are a good many people in
the departments at Washington who are
recorded as having been appointed
from some one of the Southern States,
who either were never in the South or
never acquired legal residence in any
! State of the South. AS it is understood
| that the offices under the civil service
law are not reserved for Republicans, it
would be a good thing for the heads of de-
partments not to credit appointments to
| Southern States before the appOintees
| have worn out their Northern boots.
Commissioner Gregory is not to be
blamed for being happy because his
son has secured a nice little govern
ment office, but there would be rather
more respect for the civil service law if
| the South's share of the offices were not
/ captured by men who have never cast a
ballot or paid a cents taxes in the South.

Another Arctic Expedition Propose

Another Arctic EXPEDITION proposed
1t is reported that already there is a
proposition TO send out another Arctic
| expedition. The terrible fate with which
| a portion Of the Jeanette expedition met
/ and the horrors of the Greedy expedition
appear to have no effect in preventing
other expeditions.
1t is said that Engineer Melville, who
was with the Jeanette expedition, and
who went with Commander Schley in
| search of the Greedy party, is TO be the
commander of the new expedition. En-
| giEeer Melville thinks that he can
reach the North Pole by way Of
Franz JOsefs Land. The money for the
expedition is to be furnished by Cyrus W.
Field and the New York Yacht Club. 1t
is expected to be ready to start in about a
year. Engineer Melville, it is reported,
will soon apply for leave of absence for
TWO years.
Mr.. Field and the New York Yacht
Club will furnish the money TO procure
the vessel and necessary outfit, but who
will furnish the money TO fit out an expe-
ditiOn to hunt for the survivors, The
government, doubtless, will be expected
to do that. In view OF the fact that Arc
tic expeditions generally meet with disas-
ter, it is fair to assume that the Melville
expeditiOn will have to be looked after.
Engineer Melville is brave man, and,
since his home was broken up, would
probably prefer to be in the frozen North
seeking the fame that has eluded so many
than to be in Washington or on the finest
ship at the most desirable station IN the
world. He will have no trouble in find
ing adventurous spirits to accompany
him. There never has been any trouble
in getting men for such expeditions.
There is no reason to expect that Arctic
exploration will cease, however terrible
the fate of explorers may be, until the
mystery surrounding the North Pole is
solved.

ing Train of Cars.

ing Train of Cars.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 29.-Samuel
Thompson, wealthy planter from GeOr-
gia, and son Robert, left Louisville for st.
Louis on the Ohio and Mississippi sleeper.
There were not many passengers on the
train, and at midnight all of them were
sound asleep. The tram was speeding
along at the rate of forty miles an hour,
when all at once the sleeping-car porter
heard a wild scream which came SEEM
ingly from the forward platform of the
coach.
He informed the conductor and an inn
mediate search of the sleeper was made,
resulting in the discovery that the berth
of young Robert Thompson was empty.
The train was stopped and the father of
the young man, together with the brake
man. walked back about four miles, when
they found young Thompson sitting on a
cross-tie, painfully cut and bruised. He
SAID he had been dreaming of a swimming
tournament and, imagining himself on a
springing-board in natatorium, had
walked to the platform and plunged off.
Fortunately the train was running
through a level country and his leap did
not result seriously.

ConkIing Looking Towards the
Senate.

Senate.
1t is thought that COnkling would like
to have the seat in the Senate which he
so hastily resigned three years ago. Not
withstanding the stories Of the immense
sums he is making in his law practice,
and the enjoyment it is alleged he finds in
being free from political cares, it is be-
lieved that he is ambitious to appear once
more on the scene of his greatest tri-
umphs. He certainly has been employed
in a great many important cases since he
left political life, but his success has not
been great. His reputation brought him
practice, but it is tar from certain that be
can hold it. He is a nan of very great
ability, but not a first-class lawyer.
There are very many better lawyers in
New York, and litigants will soon recOg-
nize that fact. Conkling is better fitted
for the Senate than the law courts. 1t Is
not to be wondered at, therefore, that he
is anxious to get back there.
The indication that he is looking IN that
direction is found in the fact that the stall
warts and haIf-breeds in New York are
each making desperate efforts to get a
majority of the Republican members of
the next Legislature. The next Legisla-
ture chooses a Senator, and if the Repub-
licans have a majority and the stalwarts
control that majority, the caucus nominee
in all probability will be COnkling.
OF course, the half-breeds, the active
sympathIzers with Blaine, would like to
have the SenatOrship, because they would
then control the entire Federal patronage
in the State. The leading Blaine candi-
dates for the Senatorship are ChaunceY
Depew and Whitelaw Reid.
This local fight over the SenatOrship,
however. is not allowed to interfere with
the work of carrying the State for Blaine.
While the stalwarts have no great love
for Blaine they cannot afford to have the
State lost to the party by any inactivity
on their part.
It is among the possibilities, therefore,
that Conkling will again represent New

The Federal Council of Switzerland has
been making some Investigations into the

mn from the eantOns. The report has been
embodied in a blue book sent to the As

the consumption Of alcoholic liquors is
Greater in Switzerland per capita than in
any other country in Europe, that the
consumption Of brandy is increasing, and
that misery and want are also increasing.
The sales Of liquor in Switzerland amount

eses TO recommend restrictive legisla-
ton. and defends social drinking on the
ground that it contributes to sociaoiiity'
