politicians such us Governor Hill, of
New York is, the chances are with the
Democrats. In such an election, too
many of the Republicans are likely to
stay at home, there being nothing ut

the public conscience. The Demo.

have gone Republican of course, the
former by about 1900 and the latter
by about $4,000. Virginia went ID mo.

District Court.

People were taken by surprise last
week when the announcement appeared,
coming from Judge Mcdonnell, that
district court would be convened Nov.
0. 1t had been expected that no court
would be held before January, if as
early as tlat date. On receipt of the
order from the judge, district attorney
knecsllaw telcgraphed him, urging
postponcment for few days, in order
that there might be sufficient time for
counsel and litigants to prepare for the
term. for between the order and the date
of holding court there is not sufficient
time for one party to case to give due
notice to the other. Judge Mcconnell,
however, could not sec his way clear 10
postponement, such is the pressure of
his engageme hts extending many months
in the future. \ court will DO held,
therefore, next week for such cases as
may properly come up this term. On
Friday the grand and petit jurors were
drawn according to the provisions of the
law. The following are the names of
the grand and petit jurors:

EXPENSIVE BAGGAGE SMASHING.

AS illustrating both the responsible
ty of the baggage smashers and the
value of fiddles is a case just decided
in the Massachusetts superior court.
Mr.. Greene, a member of the Liste-
mann concert company, trusted his
bass viol in the hands of a baggage
master of the New York Central rail-
road who paid no attention to the eau
ton that it was valuable, and handled
it so carelessly as to crack it which
rendered the instrument practically
useless. The plaintiff sought to re-
cover $4,000 and the jury returned a
verdict of $4,000. The interesting part
of the suit was brought out by the
plaintiffs claim that the viOl was
genuine Stradivarius, and that it was
worth the sum claimed. He bought
the viol in Germany for a small sum,
but testimony of experts proved that
the instrument was the work of a mas
ter. The interesting part of the suit
to the travelling public is that bag
gage smashers mustn't do so any more,
and that if they do they must pay for
the privilege.

says, to select one commissioner from
the South. He again declares himself
for the reform as unqualifiedly as ever,
saying:
cannot rid myself of the idea that
this civil service reform is something
intended to do practical good, and not
a mere sentiment invented for the pur-
pose of affording opportunity to venti-
late high sounding notions and fine
phrases. My plan of giving the great
est possible usefulness involves the re-
mOval of stumbling blocks from the
way of good honest men who are in
clined to it's support, and demonstrates
in every public manner its value as
adapted to every day affairs of the
government.
The president talks well and it will
he pretty apparent before his term of
service is over whether he is sincere in
it all or not.
The forthcoming report of the com
mission, in the preparation of which
Mr.. Eaton is lending a hand, will he a
valuable contribution to the problem.

THE NEW COMMISSIONERS.

President Cleveland has appointed

Trenholm of Charleston, ). c., as civil
service commissioners and it is said
that New York republican, already
selected, will soon be appointed to the
third place on the board. Mr.. Eaton
remains temporarily in the commission
to aid in its organization.
Both the new members of the board
are comparatively unknown. Mr.. Edg-
erton was in early life clerk in a
mercantile house in New York city.
He moved first to Northern Ohio, rep
resentiug the democrats of that section

many express themselves as skeptical
concerning the presidents motive in
passing by so many well known friends
OF the reform and taking up two un-

done is to "wait and see"

that his action would he criticised and
allowed himself to be interviewed"

assigned a number of reasons for his
action among others that friends for

movement strongly advised him, lie

WOMAN IN POLITICS.

The w. G.. +. L. held Il national CON
vention in Philadelphia last week.
While, according To the telegraph re-
ports, the utmost good feeling pre-
vailed, the convention struck against a
rock when the committee on resOlu-
tions offered report that clearly com
mitted the w. G. II. Unions to aid and
support the prohibition party only. In
the debate that followed the women
had Il pretty lively time of it. The
minority report was opposed to atfiliat-
ing with any political party. 1t was
voted down ten or dozen to one but
as is often the case the minority seem
ed to stand ON the most sensible ground.
They got up a rOusing protest against
being delivered over, bag and baggage,
to any political party, ending up in
this truly Luther-like fashion:
"IIerc we stand
We can do no other:
So help us God. Amen"
This protest was signed by % or 30
of the delegates, the president of the
Vermont union being among the num-
Der.
Report has it that the debate was
heated, and at times gave evidence
that these women, when embarked on
a political craft, will do precisely the
same things and in precisely the same
way that the wicked men do to carry
aud enforce their political opinions.
Some OF the women of the majority
even Missed Mrs. Foster while she was
making an earnest plea to save the
union from political affiliations. But
this only goes to show that even our
guardian angels are not perfect and
that we must not expect to jump into
the paradise-political when woman
gets the ballot. Anyhow, Mrs. Foster
and the courageous - who entered the
protest were right and did well to put
themselves on record.
The convention as a whole was har-
monious and eminently successful. The
little furry over the protest only serv-
ed to wake up the delegates and was
really a good thing for the meeting.
The women parted good naturally just
