IL is doubtful If the MugWump assault
on Jones, the Indianapolis Postmaster, IS
as important as few Democratic jour
nails appear to think il is.
The charge against Jones is that he not
only declined to appoint Republicans to
places In the Indianapolis post Office but
told those who came before the commit
tee, TO be examined for places in that Of
fee, that unless they were Democrats
they need not take the trouble to get ex-
amined
The Mugwumps raised great howl as
soon as it was reported that Postmaster
Jones had refused TO obey the civil ser
vice law, and insisted that the report
should be inquired into. Civil Service
Commissioner Thorman and the Chief
Clerk Of the Civil Service Commission
started at once for indianapolis, and it is
probable that by this time they know
whether or not Mr.. Jones has refused to
pay proper regard to the civil service law.
Mr.. Jones says that a mistake has been
made by somebody, because he never said
what he is charged with having said. II
the witnesses, however, should be too nu-
merous for him to successfully contradict
he might find himself out Of his Office be-
fore he gets fairly acquainted with it.
Mr.. jones' talk wouldn't have attracted
notice, perhaps, if it hadn't been for the
fact that Vice President Hendricks Sc
cured his appointment, and is his warm
friend. IL is a well-known fact that Mr..
Hendricks is not an admirer of the civil
service law, and would gladly repeal it,
perhaps, if he had the power. 1t is sug-
gested that Mr.. Hendricks inspired the
course adopted by Mr.. Jones with respect
to the civil service law (assuming, OF
course, that Mr., Jones declined to obey
the law for the purpose of
testing public sentiment with regard
to it. IL may be accepted as certain that
the suggestion has no foundation. Mr..
Hendricks isn't the kind OF a man 90 do
anything Of that kind. The administration
is trying 20 carry out the civil service law
in accordance with the pledge Of the
Democratic party TO the people, and Mr..
Hendricks would hardly raise an issue
with the ADMINISTRATION.
The President. may not be shrewd
politician, but he is politician enough to
know that the people approve his course
with respect 10 civil service. The few
Democratic journals that have been un-
able to control The patronage they de-
sired would like, perhaps, to see the Vice
| President lead a revolt against the nd.
minlstration because Of its adherence IL
the civil service law, but their sstsfac-
ton would be short lived. Even the poll.
ticians, and It is believed that they are
opposed to civil service reform, would
not dare TO follow Mr.. Hendricks II he
were 10 make an issue OF that kind.

The Chicago Tribune the other day IN
dulged in a bitter attack on New York, In
which il was alleged that it is the most
"un-American" city in the Union. The
Philadelphia Times gives little dig at
Chicago, which will doubtless put that
city on its ear. II says: "New York has
a natiye-born population OF 727, 1929 out Of
l,2OO,2go, or about 90 per cent. Of the
whole. The native-born population Of
Chicago Is 29S,32G in a total 81 COS, ls5, or
about 90 per cent. Thus, in mere numeri-
cal proportion the aleu- influences IN Chi

New York, and the formor city Is much

Cultivating weeds.

44propOs of the popularity Of this weed
the aaisy, for so the farmers regard it,
. scheme is suggested TO some farmers
by d. G. Croiy to undertake the sys~
tematic cultivation Of weeds. The most
valuable plants we're once weeds. and
have become useful to man by careful
cultivation. Even rye at one time in
history was as useless to man as the
Canada thistle or the yellow dock weed.
The vegetable food Of the race has been
developed out of apparently useless
plants. Why not then test the possible
ridden virtues OF the noxious weeds
which now do so much to increase the
labor Of the farmer? This is too large
: subject to go into here, but a few
thousand dollars might be well spent in
carefully eulivating the seeds Of the
best known varieties Of weeds. They
were net created for notAing, and it IS

taken occasion to snub many ladies in

Mr.. Blaine's course since his defeat has
been such as to estrange many personal
friends that he had among the demo-
Gratis. In the long years and the new
epoch that will date from the fourth of
March. 1885, the capital of the United
States ought to be an uncongenial place
for malignant disunionists like James
