A MISSIONARY FIELD.

1t is rather amusing to the unbeliever
to hear men who have been serving out
term of Imprisonment for violating the
laws of their country speak of their i'm
prisonment as mission But such was
the manner in which Farley P. Pratt and
James G. Watson spoke OF their imprison-
ment when addressing the congregation
at the Tabernacle last Sunday. These
two men had been convicted for violating
the law, and were sentenced to pay the
penalty for such violation. They
could easily have escaped the, i'm
prlsonment part of the sentence had
they promised future obedience to the
law. But this they did not do, thereby
becoming self-elected missionaries. This
is rather new method of calling mis-
slonaries, and as they are appointed by
the Court, it may very properly be said
that Chief Justice Zane is a missionary
judge. The field for missionary work
seems very wonderful and of wide ex-
tent, and certainly it must be preferable
to those who are filled with missionary
ardor to labor in the Penitentiary to la
boring in the Congo country, or in China
and Central Asia. AS we heard a gem
tleman connected with one of the Nor
mon Sunday schools remark some time
ago on similar case, Pratt and Watson
have been preaching to the spirits in
prison.

Poor John Mccullough is fast reaching
the last scene in the drama of life, all
though some physicians think he NAV
entirely recover and regain his reason.
The range of his dramatic ability was not
wide, but within that range he made him
self the first. He was rather of the old
school of acting, and the legitimate sue
cessor of Kean and Forrest, and never
possessed that facile and accomplished
manner which is so characteristic of
Booth and of Irving. In fact, he was
powerful rather than anything else, and
1t was in such pieces as "Virginius" that
his power was shown to best advantage
His whole nature seemed to be Roman
rather than Greek, and this tells it all.
We speak of him as of the past, because
the probabilities are that he will never be
himself again, and his greatness was in
the post.

I" MUST CO."

That some one must go" is heard ev-
cry little while. OF late this must go"
sentiment has been pronounced chiefly
against the Chinese, but it is one of those
loose, elastic sentences which are made
to fit any class that is not popular in a
community. A good many of those who
say "must go" SO glibly have them
selves, in many cases, but just came.
The Nation of the 22d makes the fol-
lowing very sensible remarks upon the
must go" question:
The same rule holds good as to all move
ments directed against equal rights. The Pa
ciic Coast agitation against the Chinese had
its origin in San Francisco, which has the
smallest proportion of native born residents
among all our cities, and its fit leader was
an Irish immigrant. The recent massacre
of Cinnamon at Rock Springs, Wyoming,
was entirely the work of foreigners, and
foreigners who have SO little in common with
this country that they had not even been
naturalized, so that it is fact, of which we
may well feel proud, that no single Ameri-
can citizen was implicated in the outrage.
There, was a time, a generation ago,
when the catchword "America for Ameri-
cans" found a good deal of acceptance
among the descendants of the original set
tiers, but things have changed since then.
Nowadays it is the people who represent the
original stock that insist most strenuously
upon fair play for newcomers, while the
man who is loudest in crying that somebody
must 60" from this country is pretty sure
to be man who has only recently come to
it himself.
There is good deal of sense in the
above, and something to be pondered by
those who would settle much vexed ques-
tions ny means of the simple fiat that
so-and-so, or such and such "must 60"
"Must go'' was the method of the vigi-
lantes in the old days of border ruffian-
ism; and in some cases its effect was
salutary, although the method may have
been doubtful. In the days of the Kan
sas struggle the pro-slavery men said the
free soilers "must CO." and the free soilers
frequently employed the same method.
The trouble with this method is, irst,
that it is illegal, and, second, that the
command is unreasoning and allows of no
defense; and it can be, and usually is
employed by the most unscrupulous.
There has been altogether too much
"must go' of late, and the "must go''
itself will have to "go' eventually.

SDurned the Gold.

The world will be glad of the assurance
that there are some men in the humblest
walks of life who can't be bought with the
clink of gold. A Hoosier who lost his
wife few weeks ago was waited upon a
few days after the funeral by man
who introduced himself as the agent OF a
Cincinnati medical college, and he went
right to business by remarking:
''Mr. Blank, neither of US has any time
to fool away. Your wife is dead and
buried. want her body for the college.
I could snatch it any dark night, but
that's not my way. How much cash will

COMMISSIONER THOMAN,

Civil Service Commissioner Thoman
has resigned, and his resignation has been
accepted, to take effect in November.
His letter of resignation is full of hope
and assurance for the success of the most
important reform this country has to con-
slider at the present time. In times past
one party has been as much permeated
with the spoils doctrine as the other, and
to-day we, believe that the masses of
either party are in favor of an extension
OF the theories of Civil Service reform.
One great trouble with the successful in
PRODUCTION of any radical reform is that
any reform has to encounter the organ
lied hostility of primaries and conven-
tions. And this remark applies as well
to religious and social reforms as to polit-
ical reforms.
Judge Thoman says that if the vicious
elements still seek obtrusion into cleo
tons, the chances of their success have
been lessened. To have Accomplished
this is to have have accomplished much
Politics to avery large extent have become
a trade, and like all trades, money had
become its motive power, and the system
OF merit, which was introduced by the
Pendleton bill, would naturally tend to de-
crease the influence of money upon public
Offices. To say that the selection of sub
ordinate officers upon the principle of
merit as determined by the competi-
tive system was to establish caste.
was but idle and empty talk. Neither
could such system deprive any man of
his citizens rights because the new rules
forbid him to spend the greater part of
his time in caucuses and the promotion of
party success. The old system of testing
mans fitness for particular position by
the amount of political work he did had
far more of favoritism in it than the pre-
sent system.
