OFFENSIVE PARTiSANS.
II They Are Observant Republicans VIII
Catch the idea.

Catch the idea.
A Republican contemporary, of Phil
adelphia, which is giving itself un-
necessary trouble about the course
Cleveland will adopt in administering
his policy. is especially bothered to
know what he means when he says in
his Civil-seryice letter that many Off
Gals have forfeited all just claim to re-
tention because they have been offensive
partisans.
If the journal desiring light on this
point will only restrain its impatience
for brief season, it may discover the
import of the expression about offensive
partisanship. Those who have OBJ
served the manner in which Republican
campaigns have been conducted will
readily catch on to the idea.
There has been an offensiveness in the
movements of the agents employed to
do the dirty work required to secure
Republican success, and these agents
have generally been found ensconsed in
some comfortable position. The neglect
of public business by federal Office
holders who have diverted their atten-
ton to the partisan service, instead of
damaging their official tenure, has
rather been a Recommendation to the
favor of their superiors.
This style of official duty is entirely
out of line with the idea of a proper
civil service, and as those who have en-
gagged in it come under the head of
offensive partisans alluded to in Gov
ernor Cleveland's letter, proper re-
gard for civil service reform will Justify
their being turned out. Exchange.

A TRUE STORY.

Little Indian Baby Worth More TO It's
Mother Than = Pair of Gold Ear Rings.
One day when the steamer :. Mime
haha stopped at one of the landings
on the st. Mary's River an Indian wom-
an, carrying pappoose, came on board
to look around. The pappoose was .
cunning little thing, and lady on the
steamer took great fancy to it. She
thought she would like to carry it home
to show to her friends.
What viii you take for your babyP"
she asked.
The Indian woman did not answer for
moment. She seemed to be thinking
what to ask for. Then she pointed to
the lady's long gold earrings
The lady took the earrings out and
gave them to her, and she walked of,
leaving her pappoose behind her,
The steamer had hardly left the land
ing before the child began to cry, and
the lady tried in vain TO quiet it. She
wished at last that she had her a.
rings again and that the baby was back
with its mother.
Just before the steamer reached the
next landing she saw the Indian woman
on the bank of the river, running at the
top of her speed. The moment the
steamer stopped she came on board,
rushed up to the lady, dropped the ear
rings in her lap, and, seizing the baby,
ran off with it. She held it close, as II
afraid some one would try and get it
away from her again.
It had not taken her very long to find
out that her little pappoose was worth
more to her than . pair of gold ear
rings. Florence b. HnllotOeI, IN Our

Two Deaths In St Louis, the Symptoms In
Which Have All the Appearances of
Asiatic Understanding Precautions.
ST.. LOUIS, No., January q.
The Health Department is in state
of excitement over the discovery of
what seems to be the appearance of chol-
era in the city. Last Sunday morning,
Wolff Pickner, Russian Jew peddler,
who had been in the city ten days, was
taken sick with vomiting, cramps
and diarrhea at Cos Wash street.
The police telephoned to the
Dispensary, and DIR. Dorset
sent the man to the City Hospital, where
he died in about two hours. The attend.
ing physicians say that all the symptoms
OF the cholera were present, the defects
and different stages of the disease being
well marked, but to allay public fear
certificate of cholera nostra, or native
cholera, was returned. BY order
of the department, Pickner's
pack and clothing were burned. The
cushions of the ambulance that conveyed
him to the Hospital and the clothing OF
the ambulance-driyer, which was soiled
by the vomited matter of the sick man
was destroyed, as was also the bed
ding used by him at the hospital. NO
public funeral was allowed, the remains
being taken direct from the hospital
to Mount Scherish Cemetery for inter-
ment. Little is known of Pickner' s histo ~,
but he is said to have come to st. Louis
from New York by way of New Orleans.
He was thirty-five years of age, and leaves
family in New York. Every place in
the city where he was known to have been
has been thoroughly disinfected.
The second case is that of George w.
Evans, a colored man residing at 1910 1-2
Cav, who was taken sick in the same
manner DIR. Mudd was called to see the
case and pronounced it cholera, but wish
ing to have his judgment confirmed sent
for DIR. Dorset to examine the case, and
his diagnosis was confirmed. Evans died
the same afternoon and was buried in
haste and his clothing and bedding
burned

THE BUZzARDS' WORK.
A Respectable Old Citizen Brutality Beaten
for Having No Money.

Respectable Old Citizen Brutality Beaten
for Having No Money.
AWHILE, Pa, January 2L
Late last night terrible crime
was committed by three robbers, men,
bers of the famous Buzzard gang, on the
Annvile Pike, about seven miles from this
place, which may cause the death of a
well-known citizen named Jacob
Fox, aged sixty-eight. The
masked robbers ordered him
to stop and hand over his money. He
replied that he had none; that he was
q poor man and needed all the money he
earned for his family, whereupon one of
the men felled him to the ground with
club and maltreated him in a frightful
manner, after which they rif1ed his pock-
cts, and, not finding anything, gave him
half dozen blows on the limbs and then
left him for dead. They then crossed
some fields and disappeared in the noun
tains.
At an early hour this morning some
farmers found Fox lying in fence cor
ner in an unconscious condition. They
took him to the nearest dwelling and
medical aid was summoned. An exam
ination showed that Fox's left leg was
broken near the thigh, and his right arm
broken at the wrist. His head and face
presented q sickening sight, while his
Clothing was almost torn from his body
The physician gave little hope of his
recovery. 1t is supposed the worst in
juries are internal. Fox says his as
sailants belong to the Buzzard gang. Up
to this writing there have been no ar.
rests

ic, and. being Democratic, it can not
longer be ruled on Republican sys-
tenn. It is absurd to expect that Re-
publicanism can be projected into
Democratic Administration, and that
the ghost of the party shall rule after
the party itself is dead. The people
want to look into the administration OF
the last twenty years. They want to
see the books and compare them with
the figures which Republican officials
have so marvelously manipulated in
their public reports. They want to
know where tho public moneys have
gone, and how it is SO many ardent Re
publican statesmen and patriots have
grown enormously rich on very moder-
ate salaries. 1t will certainly be hard
for Republicans to vacate the snug Of
fees they have held for SO many years;
but that was the decree of the people on
the 4th of November, and there is no
alternative but to make the best Of it

Republicans Not Yet Able to Take I'm the
Meaning of the Democratic Victory.
Republicans are not yet able to take
IN the meaning of what was done in this
country on the 4th of November last.
They have governed the country so
long that they can not clearly under
stand how it can get along without
them. They have held those offices so
long that they have come to believe
those offices ought not to be held by
others. They have so long denounced
Democrats as ''rebels, s'copperheads"
and ..Bourbons" that the idea kof ..the
best Government on the earth" passing
into the hands of these same Democrats
strikes them with unutterable horror.
They actually fancy that some means
will be discovered for preventing such
. catastrophe. They indulge vague
hope that President Cleveland win be
counseled by Republicans; that he will
not have the objectionable hardihood
to set aside the advice of the illustrious
and immensely respectable Republican
leaders who have directed the National
affairs for quarter of century and
call lot of Democratic outcasts round
him.
But they may as well make up their
minds to it. The country is Democrat

IN THE SOUDAN.

Lord wolseley's Advance Column, Under
General Stewart Meets the Enemy in
Force and Achieves Signal Victory.
Not without Serious Loss. However.
CAIRO, January %.
The report received yesterday of a
victorious encounter with the rebels by
General Lord Wolseley (Stewart) is con-
firmed. The battle took place twenty
three miles north of Metemneh. The En-
glish troops were greatly outnumbered,
but fought with admirable discipline,
keeping up a deadly fire on the enemy.
The rebels also fought bravely, and at
one time succeeded in breaking the En-
glish guard on one side of the hollow
square in which the troop were advanc-
ing. They failed to retain their adj
vantage, however, being quickly driv-
en- back. At no time during
the engagement was there
even momentary cessation of the En-
giish fire, the troops seeming to be as
cool and deliberate as if on parade. The
rebels, on retiring, left on the field 800
dead and about 1900 wounded, out of a
force estimated at 10000 men. The En-
RIlSl loss WAS SIAty-Hfe kuAcu laHOus5
whom was Colonel Fred Burnaby, author
of the 'sRide to Khiva'') and eighty-five
wounded, including Lords st. Vincent
and Airlie, and six other officers.
The enemy had thrown up quite extern
sipe works on General Stewards right
flank during the night preceding the bat
tie. These the British captured by
movement on the rebel left. After the
battle, the British took their own and the
Arab wounded to the wells of Shebacas
As described by an eye witness,
the battle toward the last became a
desperate hand to hand encounter,
mostly with shortened swords and
bayonets. Colonel Burnaby was killed
by spear thrust, which severed
the jugular vein. General Stewards
horse was shot, and in falling carried the
General down, but he quickly extricated
himself, and mounting another horse,
again led the attack. The English were
without supplies of water or food during
the entire fight.

PURIFYING THE G. Q. p.
The Work of Wedding Out Republican
Vigorously Prosecuted.


Vigorously Prosecuted.
The work of wedding out of the Re
publican ranks the unfaithful members
who failed to recognize James G. Blame
as a great statesman and an honest
public servant, and in consequence de-
clined to support him as the party can
didate, if not going on as vigorously as
it did some weeks ago, as appeared in
the overhauling of the party clubs and
associations in New York, may be sup
posed to have been only temporarily
suspended.
This process of elimination for some
time after the election afforded numer-
Gus cases of Reproduction for infidelity to
the party standard bearer, which, how
ever, was borne by the victims with a
degree of resignation and equanimity
that showed that they didn't care con-
tinental for Blaine, and very little for
the party when it committed the folly
of selecting a tattooed candidate. 1t is
likely that wedding will go on until
there is not trace of mugwumpism
left in the ranks and that point of pu-
rity is reached at which Blaineism, and
the political morality it represents, will
be the only element in the party.
There is not the same field for prun-
ing Pennsylvania as in New York, where
the knife is being so freely used that
after the faithful are entirely satisfied
with the work of purgation, what is left
will be found to be of small account
when the elections come off. President
Arthur and his friends, although they
protest against the charge of unfaithful
ness in the late election, are evidently
to be included in the elimination, the
chief ground of opposition to the presi-
dents Senatorial aspirations being his
alleged opposition to the success of
Blaine.
From appearances it looks as if the
policy of publication will be extended
not only to the mugwumps who openly
opposed Blaine, but also to the Arthur
Republicans who are charged with want
of zeal in the honr of battle. After the
party has been pared down to suit the
fastidious Republicanism of the Blaine
ties, it will be found just about big
enough to be easily beaten at the polls.
