A RECORD NEEDED.

Civil Service reformers and others will be interested in the number of the Civil Service Reform Record just issued, for it2contains a very complete list of all the important re- movals and appointments by the new ad- ministration up to late date. With each case is given brief statement concerning the appointed official and the one whose place he takes, if any information was obtainable. Much difficulty was experienced in obtain ing the list, because there is no place in Washington or anywhere else in the country where there is 8 complete list of removals and appointments, and the editor makes a suggestion that is worth attention when he says that there ought to be some proper and official source of such informatinn. In Eng land the ministry having seats in Parliament, all appointments and removals can be i'm mediately brought to light, and the editor thinks that one advantage of giving seats in Congress to members of the Cabinet would be that "it would afford a means of bringing out the.whole management of the civil ser vice before the public"
 The Civil Service act provides that the ap pointing power shall give notice in writ ing to the Civil Service commission of all appointments, resignations, transfers and removals, but only in the offices filled under the act. The editor of the Record suggests that an extension of this requirement to changes in all the offices in the civil service would at once furnish us with complete record, not only of the service itself, but the management of it's patronage, and says: The commission would have at hand such information as would enable it to form 8 better idea of the needs of the service, and in what branches of the service the reform would best be extended. This they would embody in their annual report and recom- mendations. Even more valuable than that would be the check such a record would give to wholesale removals for party reasons, be- cause by this means unusually numerous changes could immediately be traced to their author; and he would be obliged by public opinion to express his reasons. We are con- vinced nothing has helped the boss system in our politics so much as the secrecy re- garding the general management of the ser vice. In theory, the executive is responsible to the people for the use of the patronage; but how can the people hold the executive to such responsibility if it has no means of knowing, either for good or evil, what that executive has been doing with the service?
 This is good idea, but we imagine that the Democratic party is not yet ready to help the Civil Service commission much. Never theless, it ought to be.

They Died in Their Boots.

A wild story comes from Periban, Michoa- can There well-mounted and well-armed men stopped at an inn to pass the night. The women who kept the place advised the au- thorities that three suspicious men had called at her house. The president of the city council and the judge, with few citizens, went to the house to see the suspicious char acters. But the three men locked themselves in their room and refused to be interviewed. A crowd of citizens was collected, but when they appeared they were greeted with vol ley from the three men. An assault was then made on the room, and the prisoners breaking out of the door, fought their way through the crowd, using their reyo1vers and daggers. The crowd followed closely after the fugitives, and many shots were ex- changed.
 Finally one of the fellows dropped; even while dying he turned over and fired on his pursuers A second fell few steps further on, fighting hard The third, sheltering himself behind a rock, made it warm for his pursuers, and though often wounded, fought on with scarcely enough strength to draw his he only replied with bullet which relieved the president of his hat. The crowd closed in around him as the death mist was passing over his eyes. Still he tried to pull the trig- ger of his rife for a parting shot, but life and strength failed him. The -corpses were buried in Periban. They were supposed to be part of the Marcia1 Braves bandit troop. During the fight the citizens he'd fired 200 shots, and of these nearly twenty had taken effect on the bandits, who were torn to pieces by the storm of lead. Several of the citizens were wounded The bandits died like legen. dary heroes.

A Clever Col1ey.


 Baroness Burdett-Coutts is usually accom- panied in the streets by beautiful Colley dog, which is the gift of Henry Irving, and which has little history The actor was one day driving over the Braemar moors when he lost his Skye-terrier, which had been trotting along behind his trap. He got down to look for it, directing the driver to go on with the trap. On the moor he met a shepherd with Colley, and the man when told of tie actors loss offered to find the terrier. At word from him the Colley darted off, and after absence of ten min utes returned. ''Where is he?' asked the shepherd, and the dog, lifting one paw, pointed in the direction of the road. 'tHe has gone after the trap" the shepherd said, and Irving, marveling and in truth ineredu- lous, returned to the road, and coming up with the trap found his little favorite await ing his arrival He bought the Colley for seventy-five dollars and presented it to the baroness.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Grand Old Mans government has gone to pieces, and there are few who do not think that it had existed long enough
 MT. John Russell Young, minister to China, doesn't think $12, 1000 year is enough pay for him. Mr. Young has been an edi- tor.
 The election which has just been held in Wilmington, Delaware, showed that the negro can have his rights there. Both par ties made direct appeals to the colored voters, and the Democrats won by about five hun dred majority.
 And now it is asserted that the 'Fschool system" of New Haven needs Professor of Sanitary Science Don't crowd the mourners. If we must have a new professor let him be a Professor of Economy, and let him begin his work by instructing the Board of Education how to use the taxpayers money. There are only about four hundred foreign missions and consulates at the disposal of the administration, and the most desirable of them have already been filled. There are on file at the State department eight thousand

 The Hartford Telegram calls attention to the fact that Alfred E. Burr of the Hartford Times would be good man for the Demo crats to nominate for Governor next year. If he could be prevailed upon to take the nomination they could not do better. MT. Burr has done as much, to say the least, for the Democratic party as any man in. this State.
