IL is said that the Civil Service Commission
will prosecute W. L. Oiell, the agent of the
Indiana Republican committee, who has
been soliciting contributions from clerks i'll
the Postofice department. This is the
proper thing to do. Let it once be under
stood that the men who engage in this bust
ness do SO at the risk of being compelled TO
pay a heavy fine if they are found out, and
tue business will soon cease. The only rea-
son that it has not ceased before is that
there are still people in the country who
think that the civil service law is of no more
account than the buncombe resolutions on
the subject which both parties used TO put
in their platforms, and that violation of it
is DO more likely to bring punishment upon
the offender than the violation of our obso-
lete statutes against swearing.

Senator-elect Payne says the attempt
purify the government service by the pre- :
ent civil service reform law is like Cleaning
the Augean stables with tooth BRUSH"
and that the stream of Democracy must be
run through it before it will be thoroughly
cleansed. With alldue respect to Mr.. Payne
we are inclined to think that if the ancient
Hercules had been compelled to choose be-
tween tooth brush and astream of Democ-
racy he would have chosen the tooth brush,
for the very sound reason that stream of
Democracy would be sure to bring in much
more dirt than it would carry out.

says that the sum which it was considered
right for the Mayor to contribute if the party
consented TO be the victim of his desire for q
vindication was $500, and an additional 500
would be about the right thing for the liquor
agent to contribute.
1t is fair to say that good many promi-
nent and influential Democrats were absent
from this conference; but it is not thought
that, if they had been present, any different
conclusion as to the candidate would have
been reached. They would have been as
unwilling as the rest to volunteer to bell the
cat, and, unless somebody appears with the
necessary courage, things mus take the inev-
| table course There is no way to ct rid OF
the incumbranee but through his defeat at
the polls. He joined the Democratic party
to get an office which the Republicans con-
sdered him unfit for, and it is not likely
that he will release them from the condition.
He was taken up, as Butler and so many
others, whose claims the Republican party
rejected, have been taken up. They have in
some cases been able by their personal fol-
lowing to give the Democratic party a tenn
porary triumph, at the end Of which it has
been in worse condition of reputation than
! before.

We're small, but being hungry Tor beets

Sany OF them. He was afraid that these

The did rot take the precaution Of
Bling them in I bag. He was not
buse-keeper enough for that. Well.
linner time at length came on, and
S3hc beets came in, and strange to say
&hey were of good, large, respectable

4 size equal to that of the beets, why
how, whatever, has come over those
beets they must be the swelling kind
