Here is one OF the most outrageous SEN
fences, even in these days of outrageous SEN
fences, that have ever heard Of. A starving
labOrer named Peter Lunan took three apples
from garden. Being charged with this Of
Tense before one Balie Hunter. at Dundee,
Peter pleaded guilty, but added that "he was
starving and took the apples to cat" But what
excuse was starvation in the eyes of Baille
Hunter for so awful an olfense as taking
three apples from garden? None, so he at
once sentenced the man to forty DAYS impri--
onment. Had Lunan half killed his wife or
his child, On jeOpardiled the lives of hundreds
of his fellow-men by some act of want0n
ctrelessness or wilfltlneas, or cruelty ill-treat
ed some dumb animal, he would probably
have been considered sufficiently punished by
being called upon to pay a small fine, and
would at the outside have been sent to prison
for week IN default Of PAYMENT.

The Next River and Harpor Bin.

1t Will be n very difficult matter to get
river and harbor bill through Congress
next winter if provision is made in it for
carrying on the proposed improvements OF
the Ohio ami Mississippi rivers and for
constructing the Hennepin canal. With
such immense appropriations in the bill!
rs these public works call for II Will be
impOssibe to keep j; within tho limits
that will make it acceptable TO Congress
and the country.
A day or two ago the Ohio River Com
mission held its fourteenth annual meet
ing a. Pittsburg, Pa. aud passed res0-
ution urging Congress to eXpend about
| 100000, 600 on the improyementOf the Ohio
river within the next twelve years. The
convention thought that about $1,000, 900
a year ought to be spent in making the
river naylgable at all stages Of water.
The Mississippi river wants about 3d.
600, 600 a year for "A long period, and the
Aennepin canal advocates VIII hardly be
satisfied with less than $1.0OO,Oo0 annu-
ally. These two rivers and the canal
want as much as Congress is likely TO
appropriate in q river and haTbOr bill.
What chance then is there to get what
is needed for the Savannah river and other
meritorious public improvements in dit
ferent parts OF the country Our river is
now suffering for the want Of money 70
continue the work OF improving it, and II
an appropriation is not secured next WIN
ter great deal that has been done will
be lost.
There is only one thing for Congress
men who represent districts in which
there are streams which commerce re-
quires shall be improved as soon as posi-
bic to do in this matter, and that
is TO insist that the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers, the Hennepin canal
and other great improvements which
want millions annually shall be provided
for in a separate bill.
The representatives OF these improve
ments which cost so much insist, Of
course, on having appropriations for
them in the river and harbor bill because
they are afraid that they cannot get any
thing in any other way. In this. however,
they are doubtless mistaken. Their course
is calculated not only TO prevent improve
ments in which they are Interested from
getting anything, but also 10 keep the
smaller streams from getting anything.
The action of the Ohio river convention
ought to be sufficient to justify the con-
clusion that the only reasonably we'll
founded hope Of getting a river and
harbor bill through Congress next winter
is in keeping the Hennepin canal scheme
and such rivers as the Ohio and Missis-
sippi out Of it.

Unripe Oranges.

Several weeks ago we stated that Flor
ida orange growers would make a great
mistake il they attempted to force green
oranges on the market. II seems that
they are making this mistake. Ship
ments Of oranges have been noticed that
were unripe, unwholesome and wholly
uHft for consumption.
The reason this green fruit is shipped
to market is the hope Of receiving the
large prices which the first shipment Is
usually bring; but il ought not TO be- for
gotten that nobody wants green oranges,
and nobody will purchase them a second
time.
The effect OF putting unripe Florida
oranges upon the market is to create a
prejudice against the fruit and TO make it
difficult TO obtain tip-top prices for it
when 1t is really good.
II would be much wiser to permit the
oranges 10 remain on the trees until they
are fit TO be eaten. Such a course would
help TO increase their reputation and
make them sought after.
or course the orange growers know
what is best for them to do, and II they
could secure some concert OF action no
green fruit doubtless would be shipped
from the State. one adopts the suicidal
policy because another does. Each one
hopes to get a very high price fer his hrst
shipment, even though the fruit Is green.
Eventually, perhaps, there will be some
SOFT - regulation adopted by growers
which viii keep the market free from un-
rlpe fruit.

AiiO 0ANlt 0CENitt commissioners
1t seems to be pretty well understood
that there will be an entire change in the
personnel of the civil service commission
Such change will not be disapproved by
the country. The general feeling ap-
pears to be that it will not be difficult to
find men much better fitted to discharge
the duties of civil service commissioners
than the present commissioners are.
Mr.. Eaton has already handed the
President his resignation, and tits under
stood that the President also has Mr..
GregOry's resignation. Mr.. Thoman, it is
said, has an idea that he will not be dis
turDed, but there are reasons for thinking
that he will be disappointed.
All Of the commissioners have been
subjected to a great deal Of criticism,
principally because they are not
altogether fitted for the positions they
occupy.
With commissioners of broader views
and better understanding of the real
meaning of civil service reform,
it is probable that there would
be fewer expressions of dis
satisfaction with the civil service law.
rs too often the case that the popular
impression of law is gained from the
men who administer it. II those who ad
minister 1t command respect the law is
respected, and il they are not the law is
spoken Of contemptuously.
The aim of the President is understood
to be to appoint as commissioners men
who will secure respect for the law. In
taking this action he shows himself to be
