in considering the subject of civil service,
care should be taken to discriminate between
the principle of civil service and the provisions
of the PendIeton bill and the practical work
ings of the commission. That bill makes
distinction between citizens, who should be
all equal before the law. 1t favors the soldier
and the sailor at the expense of the citizen
1t favors class legislation, and is therefore
unconstitutional. 1t discards from public
service, on account of age, men who have not
even attained the prime of life. Such law
is not only unconstitutional, it is unAmericar
and unjust. 1t ought to be amended, or re
pealed altogether. President Cleveland is
civil service reformer, but he cannot be sup
porter of the Pendleton bill. He is too wist
and too Just man for that.

His House Many Times Set on Fire

CuAMBERsBURG, Pa, Dec. 22.-Repeated
efforts have been made by an unknown party
to burn the homestead Of Peter Besore, in
Letterkenny township, The house is occu-
pied by William Miller and family. In Oc-
tober Mr.. Miller, on returning from a journey,
saw bright light in his bedroom. Fearing
robbers were in the house, he summoned two
neighbors, and upon entering the house found
the bedstead and bedding entirely consumed
and the fire making its way through the floor.
The fire was found to be of incendiary origin;
Two weeks afterwards Mr.. Miller discovered
the stable on fire, but extinguished the flames
before serious damage was done. A strong
smell Of kerosene convinced him that it had
been used to facilitate the work of the incen-
diary. Last night Mr, Miller saw a man
Jump from the roof of the shop adjoining the
house and run away. Upon looking up be
found the roof of his dwelling on fire. The
shingles had been saturated with kerosene.
Mr., Miller has moved out of the house, but
the intentions and conduct of his unknown
enemy are still an unsolved mystery.

The ship canal project across the peninsula
between the Chesapeake and Delaware bays,
is still kept before the public by the press,
and Mr. FindIay will introduce a bill into
Congress on the subject Any ship canal
constructed above the Choptank route, would
be time and labor and money expended IN
vain. This fact is patent to any one familiar
with the topography of the peninsula, and
with the shallow and tortuous channel OF the
upper part of Chesapeake bay. Continuous
dredging would be required to keep the navi'
CATION free from the debris poured into the
channel by the freshets in the Susquehanna
and the floating ice and timber at the time Of
the spring freshets would be another source
of annoyance if not of loss to vessels seeking
an outlet to the ocean through that channel
No farseeing capitalist would hazard hi
money in an enterprise like that, which gives
such little promise of success, and Congress
will not be likely to make an appropriation IL
the face of such a hazard.

Origin of the Bloody Shirt.

We had supposed that the 'bloody shirt
was the exclusive property and distinctive
badge of the Republican party, and especially
of the Saints John Logan and Sherman. But
the history of the incarnadined banner dates
back to 1908, so that the emblem was not
original with those who tried to fire the north
ern heart against the south, with this DEVICE

latter were put to the sword, and the rest
completely routed, in order to impress the
mind of the king with vivid idea of the ex-
tent of the slaughter, says the historian, and
to excite a thirst for vengeance in those about
him, two hundred and twenty widows OF the
slain appeared before the court at Stirling,
