The case of Miss Sweet, The Chicago pen
sion agent whom Commissioner Black has
undertaken to remove to make room for
Democrat, will prove a much better test of
the devotion of President Cleveland to the.
principles laid down in bis civil service let
Ter than the case of Postmaster Pearson of
New York. The reappointment OF Mr..
Pearson was in accordance with those senti-
ments, but it can be urged with great plausi-
bility that the real motive which inspired it
was a desire to satisfy the New York Mug
wumps, who earnestly demanded it. Miss
Sweet has no powerful backing of this kind.
All she has to rely on is record of eficien-
CIV and freedom from offensive partisanship,
mt that ought to be amply sufficient to
make her tenure secure until the close of
her term, and win be if Cleveland con-
tinues to stick by his professions.

called out. Perhaps the Detroit paper has
got Mayor behring's rum war mixed up with

The Canadians are getting stirred up
again over rumors'of an impending Fenian
invasion. A dispatch is said to have passed
through Toronto Saturday saying that
"large body of men supposed to be Fenians
had left New York, going West" The kind
of train they left in is not specified, but
we venture to say it was gravel train and
that each of the Fenians was armed with
the deadly shovel.

President Cleveland has removed the
postmaster at Rome, New York, and gives
his reasons therefor in letter to the post
master general. He says an investigation
by special agents some time ago showed that
the post office had been ineficiently man
aged, and that there was deficiency of sew
eral hundred dollars in the money order de-
partment. If these statements be true
there is no reason to complain of the Presi-
dents action. Allegiance to the civil ser
vice reform principle requires the turning
out OF incompetent and dishonest officers as
much as the keeping in of competent and
honest ones.

A NEW WAY OF WORKING AN OLD JOKE.

An anglers Journal is publishing series
of letters to prove that brook trout weigh
ing "a pounds was caught in Maine in 18Ae.
There is nothing very remarkable about it.
AS trout generally increases in weight at
the rate of one pound an hour after being
taken from the wafer by an angler, the
Maine fish of 1910 should now weigh 100000
pounds.
