TO-DAY.

Sacramento proposes to do herself in
finite credit to-day, and a lady of the city
infinite honor. The people propose, in the
form of a feast of flowers, to testify to their
appreciation of the broad and wise benef-
cent work of Mrs. Margaret E. Croker
The occasion promises to be one of very
novel character. 1t is rare indeed that
whole communities unite as one person in
singing the praises of one citizen who has
done no deeds in war, and achieved no
distinction in political life or scholarship.
1t promises to be-if the wide measure OF
preparation is to be at all considered
testimonial of frank acknowledgment by
the public of the unsolicited favors lady
of wealth and native modesty has be-
slowed upon the community. The lesson
of the proposed floral exhibition is too APP
parent to call for any extended comments
1t is a lesson of humanity, charity, broth
erly love, kindness, gentleness and peace

A WISE PHYSICIAN.

In Mr.. Pendleton's speech in New York
were some truths that should do his party
good They are medicine to a diseased
body. Bat the trouble is that the party
of the Democracy, like a silly child will
not take the doses administered to it. Mir.
Pendleton is a wise Democratic doctor.
He, OF all men, knows the ailment of his
party. He intended to administer a
needed purgativc when he said: "Show
nae the spoils system and the merit system,
and | win show you a war inevitable and
TO the death. Either may live, but the
other must die Which of them deserves
life; which death? He then defined the
two systems. The spoils system uses the
public service to pay the private debts :
of unscrupulous and Enthusiastically dema-
gogues. Ii raises vast army of Office
holders that are enlisted and paid out of
the public treasury by selfappointed
rulers of the people to keep the people I'M
der those rulers by debsuching the public
morals and vItiating popular election. Z" 1t
spoils public faith, public credit, the pub
lie service, and will spoil popular instit,l-
lions. The system ought not to have a
resting-place in cur Government 1t is
enough for honest men to know that the
proposition Of civil service reform Is in all
respects the polar opposite Of this political
dehauchery. In the very limited field of
lis application under the actual law. it has
worked much good. 1t has already I'M
proved the public service But 'its scope
should be enlarged and extended to all
officers whose political opinions are not
necessary to the discharge Of official duties,
and il viii be extended" No one will
doubt the sincerity Of Mr.. PendIcton. His
party dare not antagonize the element he
represents. Nevertheless, As a party, the
Democracy is opposed to the civil service
reform policy, and its leaders, with here
and there an exception, are secretly plot
ting and working 10 defeat the reform, and

a LESSON

In township in Pennsylvania there has
been a terrible epidemic visitation. The
population is but 5000. Out of that 600
people have been stricken with the typho-
malarial pestilencc. In three days there
were nineteen deaths Panic prevailed
business was checked and all the town
went upon its knees in prayer. The
churches had praying seasons for the stay
ing of the plague, bat still it went on its
rounds The good people did not realize
that God does not intervene to help those
who fail TO comply with the simplest die
tates Of health. However, they awoke
to the truth lately All winter long they
piled their garbage and ashes, and ofial in
their hack yards, ard when spring opened
and the sun shown, the masses of filth
rotted and poisonous vapors went up into
the air, and the restilence was the result
When these good people had the cause Of
their trouble pointed out TO them, they got
up off their marrow-bones, postponed
prayer and applied themselves to remov.
ing, burning and destroying the filth O.
the township, when 10 the plague ceased
Is there not a lesson in the experience OF
the township Of Plymouth?

Did Not Elope With a Colored Servant.
CHICAGO, May 5th.-Quite sensation re-
suited less than month ago from the sup
posed elopement of Mrs. Annie Steinrelde,
wife of prominent Memphis physician,
with colored servant of the family De-
tectives here have never ceased to be on the
watch for her, and this afternoon, William
Pinkerton, of the Pinkerton Detective
Agency, received q letter from DR.. Stein
reide, begging him to find his wife and re-
turn her to him. Shortly after receiving
the letter Mr.. Pinkerton happened to be in
the city detective department OF the City
Hall, when handsome but careworn wo-
+ an entered and asked to be shown de-
l, i've. TIC Mr.. Pinkerton and Others she
explained that she was Mrs. Annie Stein
reide; that she was destitute, and wished
to give herself up. She said she had not
been unfaithful to her husband, but left
him because of his cruelty toward her. and
in st. Louis came across former negro
servant by accident, which meeting, she
supposed, gave rise to the eiopement story.
Coming to Chicago she had worked since
as an ordinary domestic Mrs. Steinrelde
was placed in the witness cell at the arm
DRY, and tomorrow will be returned to her
husband and children.

GENERAL MCDOWELL.

In the death of General Irwin Mcdowell
the country has lost a valued citizen, and
the army distinguished and brave officer
He was man of sterling integrity, per

as he was without cruelty. He studied the

PEACE.

It is now certain that peace will be
maintained between Russia and England.
When two nations are willing to submit
their disagreements TO friendly power for
decision, they are pretty certain to con-
.sumlnatc that desire. 1t is not at all i'm
probable that the Issues between England
and Russia may be adjusted without even
the Intervention of an arbitrator. 1t must
now be clear that if, as Marvin and Raw

is true, Russia has designs upon In

realm, she has become convinced that the
