TURNING THE RASOALS OOTn

In the following brief paragraphs
under the heading OF "Turning the
Rascals Out" the Philadelphia Times
hits the nail on the head about as
plumply as it would be possible to do
it. It's editor has been much of his life
a republican, and never, we believe. a
democrat. He is now, however, in q
position to express as nearly an un.
biased opinion as any man in the
Union.
alt is very touching to observe the
anxiety of the republican organs on
the subject of non-partisan civil SER
vice. They are only half pleased with
the unequivOcal declarations of Mr..
Cleveland's recent letter. His deter
| mination not to make rem walls on
mere partisan grounds is all right, but
| the idea that he may actually appoint
| some democrats to Office strikes them
as something terrible. And yet to the
| uDprejudiced observer it is not easy to
see how a non-partisan civil service is
to be secured without getting rid of tae
partisan service that for SO many years
has disgraced the country and corrupt
ed it's politics.
GA government official who has been
only an offic al, attending to his busi-
ness with a proper sense OF his public
obligations, is ut least as likely to be
secure under the administration Of
President Cleveland a, lie would have
been under the administration Of Pres
ident Blaine. But the man who has
been partisan first and an nffi ial af-
terwards. using the influence If his
position for party ends and d.votirg 10
party the time for which he was paid
by the public-such mans dismissal
is demanded by every principle of
sound civil service reform.
"Mr. Cleveland letter was especially
important and valuable because he
made this fundamental principle per-
fectIy clear. 1t would be silly to waste
so much talk upon civil-service reform
if the civil service did not need retor,n-
ing, as SD many of the republicans pa
pers would now have us be:ieve. 1t
does need it. bail. and an, pre>id mt
who expects to build up business ike
administration, whiie lie may relain a
good deal OF the present material, will

need to be renewed.

Another Shock.

MADRID, January 4.-Additional
shocks of earthquake occurred in vari-
ous parts of the southern provinces.
At Lola, Albania, Jaen, Velez and NAL
aga assures in the earth appeared. A
great panic prevails among the inhabi-
tants owing to the continued shocks.
The people throughout Peripa, Grena-
da and Malaga sleep in the railway
trains, or occupy tents. At night they
congregate about huge bonfres. Re-
ligious professions are frequent. In
some villages the inhabitants are suffer-
ing from famine The bodies of the
unburied victims are beginning to de-
compose. The ruins of Albania present
an awfully impressive spectacle.
HUNDREDS OF LIVES LOST.
Albania is terribly afflicted by the
earthquake. The upper portion of the
town is built upon hill, and fell on the
lower portions in the valley. The bod
les of over 300 victims have already
been recovered. Ten thousand head
of cattle were killed. All the public
buildings were demolished. Seven
thousand persons are camped in the
| fields, and holt religious services in

held by the military and literary socie-
ties and clubs and journalists of Mad.

relief fund for the benefit of the suffer
ers.

THE CANAL WE WANT.

From the San Francisco Chronicle, Dec. 1871
The essential interest of the United
States requires an interoceanic canal,
and if. as engineers say, the Nicaragua
canal can be constructed at cost of
fifty Millions in four or five years, that
is the canal we want. No European
nation has the interest in the work we
have; not one of them can reasonably
claim to be partner in the enterprise.
There is not room for more than one in
that job. The United States set up no
claim in regard to the Suez Canal no
Americans have tried to interfere with
European schemes in Congo: in the
name OF common sense let us alone in
this affair of the Nicaragua Canal.

From the St. Louis Chronicle, Jan. 81
The remains OF Russell Hancock, the
only son OF Gen. w. ). Hancock, ar
rived last night from Clark sdale, Miss,
in charge of Fielding Gwynn, the de-
ceased's brother-in law, and were
placed at Lynch's. Mrs Russell Han
cock, the wife, and her family consist
ing of Mrs. Laura Foster, Miss Ada
Gwynn and her three children, arrived
at the Southern last night, where they
were met this morning by General
Hancock and her father, who arrived
from New York. Mrs. Hancock was
not acquainted with her husbands
death until her arrival here. She bore
the news with fortitude. General
Hancock was prostrated with grief, as
Russell was his last child.
The funeral took place this afternoon.
Leaving the Southern at 1880 the car
riages proceeded to the church of the
Messiah, where the ceremonies took
place at O'clock. Rev. Dr. Elliot
preached the sermon. and the choir
sang by special request, Jerusalem,
the Golden DIR. Snyder conducted
the ceremonies at the family vault in
BellefOntaine cemetery. The pail

NO DISSENTING OPINION.

From the Springfield Republican, DE c. 90 !
The discussion upon the treaty is
Unexpectedly favorable to the assertion
OF our national right to own, make and
control the canal, exclusive OF the in
terference of other nations, as Mr..
Disraeli in 1876 bought controlling
share in the Suez Canal for Great
Britain without asking the consent of
any other power or giving any guaran-
ty of neutrality other than that i'm
piled by its possession by strong and
peaceful commercial power. The
principle OF the treaty, now that it is
boldly avowed, msetD with scarcely q
dissenting opinion.

In this land of the Big Indian.
In this land Of golden hsrvssts.
Where the Mugwump has his glory,
And the Independent Voter

In this land there lives people,
Free and happy, brave and wsrlike.
Once In four years two great chisitains
OF this nation midst be chosea;
And the great men OF ths country
Strive to win the high positions.
Thus the land became divided
Into two great. mighty parties:
One was called the "Demoeratic."

Four and twenty years the s. Raddiss"
Had mlsruled this mighty people:
Filled the land with bold corruption,
And rewarded thieves and scoundrels,

And the Independents -belted- ...-
For they said they would be honest.
Though they always had heen ..Raddies. !"
Thus things stood, when. last Nsyember.

One side chose Blaine for its leader.
With record black and rotten;
With John Logan for his second.

Each resolved to win or perish
In this IN lightly war Of balists.
All day long they fought with fury
And the dead have not been numbered.
Neither can we count the dying.
Nine long days the smoke Of battle
Hid the field irom mortal vision;
Then the cloud was slowly lifed.
And, behold, the gallant Cleveland
He whose name 10 now called ''Eli"--
Stood the victor In the contest.
Proudly he and grand old Hendricks
Stood upon the field so bloody,
While the dead were beaped around them
And the dying groans were fearfsl.
With the dead lay John A. Logan,
And the puffy Stephen Eikins;
Further on lay Blaine, the warrior.
In whose heart were many arrows,
And his pumes were foul and muddy.
On him lay old DR., Rurchard,
Dead from having shot his mouth OF,

President Cleveland has struck
stunning blow at deadheadism In
o ficial life, by rejecting sll such priv
ileges for himself and family, and In
this, has Get precedent which it is
to be hoped, will hold good in the fu-
ture. Heretofore it has been the Gus
tom of high officials to accept SPECIAL
cars, and it is said that for years not
even a cabinet officer ever left Wash
ington for a journey of any length,
without having special car placed
at their disposal. Of course those
who were made the recipients OF sub
favors were expected to reciprocate
by indirectly or otherwise assisting
the railroad corporations, and they
generally did so. 1t is also pro ba ble
that the special car business has done
more to give railroad corporations 9
powerful hold in Washington, thar
any other one method. As has beer
truly said, 1.-The man who would be-
tray a government trust for money

but the man who is weak enough t.

whom he has received favors."

Russia seems determined to extend
her dominion southwark as she is anx
ious to possess a belt of country on
the frontier sufficiently large to give
the empire FIRST class trade facilities
with eastern and western Africa.
England won't have it that way as she
not in sympathy with any move
ment which will encroach on her own
dominlois and the consequence is that
the only way for both to settle their
difficulties will be to fight it out. The
little by play in the soudaD will be al
the breath of a zephyr compared t.
such an issue and its terrors must b'

ways before their wages can be re-
