SPEAKING OF the rights Of otficeholders
to take par. in politics, under the civil
service rules. the New York Sun, in re-
cent editorial says: 'The proposition that
because man is an oficeholder he has
no right to take part 10 political mansgs-
ment, is ridiculous. The RrEt duty and
obligation Of an officer, of course, is 70 dis
charge the functions of his office honestly
aud efficiently. Having done this, we
,ahould Ike to know why hs has no right
to participate in auy rrt OF political man
aVement. No doubt Manning acted wisely
in resigning his place on The Democratic
SStats Committee, but few Intelligent
mars Dns can be foolish enough to
srn,ose that he will henceforth have
absolutely nothing to do with Democratic
noAics in New York. Might not some of
the other members of the Cabinet, Messrs.
Endicott, Whitney, Yuas, Garland, Lamar
and Bsyard, rightfully take part in politi-
cal management in their several States so
far as to promote the selection OF good
men for office and even the success OF
particular candidate gho was fit for the
place he sought, as sgainss an objsctiona-
BILE sspirsnt? We think they night. We
have no patience with the theorists gho
want to make every public officer polii-
cal Enuch."

Mr. EDwARD ATKINSON of Boston showed
beio,e the Society for the Advancement OF
Science. at Aun Arbor, Mich, yesterday,
that in the last thirty-fve years of the
present century the world will have made
more material progress than in any other
period. This is bright picture, but there
is reverse TO Il. 1t is that when all the
wealth Of the United States is distributed,
there is but AZ cents per day tor each
adult On this average all must live, r'sny
on less and the very few on more. By
utilizing existing methods of production
and preparation of food it becomes impos
sible to secure a proper amount OF fooo
for ali of the poorer classos. The agrieul
tural section of the society purposes t
deviss means and plans for immediate
and practical use, eheapening the pro
duction of food by utilizing abandoned
fields and by it's proper selection and prep
aration.

lost leg at hip joint or an arm at the
shoulder joint in the service of the
country, shall be entitled to pensions at
the rate OF $3.50 per month. 1t has

are less than dozen cases on the pension
rolls in which the amputation has taken
place as through the parts mentioned.
Commissioner Black, in ruling upon
two test cases brought before him, de-
clines to hold to the strict letter of the
law, and allows the full amount of pen
sion, though the amputation did not take
place at the joint He holds that if there
is an amputation of hip or shoulder, 81

the peDsioner is entitled to the sam'
compensation as it no stump were left

A Genera, Review of the Cyclon .

CHARLESTON, s. C., August 26.-The
Neaes and Courier publishes an extend
ed general review of yesterdays cYc.one
1t speaks of the warnings by the Weather
Bureau and the prognostications of old
sailors, but says that nothing of the Sc
verify of the storm experienced was
looked forward to or even anticipated
after it began. At daylight (Tuesday)
the wind was blowing from the south
east at the rate of about thirty miles an
hour, with frequent gusts reaching to
abopT fifty miles. This in itself was an
unusual feature, as most equlnoctial gales
in Charleston start from the northeast.
At 6 o'clock the wind was pretty lively
The rain, which during the night had
fallen In torrents had almost ceased. The
streets were deserted s've by the ice
wagons aud milk dealers, who had con-
siderable difficulty in dodgiug the flying
states, bricks, tiles aud street signs,
which we're whirled about in
every direction. The account pro-
ceeds with a description of the
increasing damage as the wind increased,
stripping the states from the roof of St.
Michael's church and other buildings
filling Of the streets with falling
bricks and other missiles, and proceeds:
The outlook was squally, but not un-
usually alarming. But suddenly the tin
on the roofs of the various offices and
cotton sheds were rolled up and
scattered like SO many rolls ef
paper. The waves angrily dashed over
the pier heads and made mountains
and valleys in the river. The time of
high water was 7:26 o'clock am. East
Battery and South Battery were practi-
Ilr- hlo h., e
boats. But this was not all; m untains
wall were caught up by the wind and
air and hurled against the east
fronts of handsome buildings which
line the sidewalks, smashing in
windows, doors and fences, and inundat-
ing the lawns and gardens. The flag
badly broken up, the waves seizing large
flags and pushing them off to the oppo-
site side of the street. Almost the en-
tire railing was washed away, and many
gaps were made In the embankment.
The damage to the houses, gardens and
lawns on this thoroughfare was seri-
Gus. Not more than two or three houses
on either thoroughfare escaped. Most
of them were unroofed either entirely or
in part, and all of them suffered some
damage. The storm continued to in
crease in velocity as the day ad-
vauced. The streets were gradu-
ally filed up with states, bricks,
signs, window-shut and sash
At s o'clock the rain began to
fill In torrents. The streets were food
ed, and, the drain pits being choked up,
the water ran kuee deep in almost every
street in the city The rain was accom-
panied by claps of thunder at short in
tervals, the noise of which was almost
drowned in the roar of storm" The story
proceeds to tell of the gradual
unroofog of the courthouse and then of
the fail of the steeple of the famous St.
Michael's Church, which withstood the
storms of more than century and had
even escaped the Union shells during
the late war. 1t fell about S:45, just
when the storm was beginning to lull.

WASHINGTON, August 26.-The Star
tonight says: A rumor to the effect that
Mr.. Jno. Dickerson, former superin-
tendent of the new pension building, had
committed some Irregularities in the
management of his position having reach
the Star, reporter wasssent to trace
the matter and was informed by persons
in position to know all the details that
when change was made in the Office of
superintendent it was discovered that
Diekerson had not kept any books or
records of his office aud busi-
ness. In endeavoring to ascertain
the number of employees and condit' on of
the office, SO the reporter was informed,
it was ascertained that sixteen men who
were not borne on the rolls of the super
intendent, were cstensibly doing service
under him. Further inquiry revealed
the fact that these persons we're appoint
ed as clerks, some of them getting large
salaries; that they were assigned by
Dickerson to do the duty of messengers
and laborers, and that in some cases no
duty at all was required of them In
other words, some of them were
drawing salaries without rendering
any services. Different parties who
had been connected with the de-
partment made statements to the
effect that the property belonging to the
government and purchased for use in
the construction of the penson building
had been removed aud sold. 1t was
charged that lumber aud material Of va
rious kinds, amounting in the aggregate
to quite large sum, had been thus irreg-
ularly disposed of, and that the superin-
tendent was In collusion with parties for

the building These changes were re-
ported to Commissioner Black and de-
