MIR. M'DONALD ON CIVIL SERVICE

force lt.
CHICAGO, January 7.-Ex-Senator Mcdonald is In
the city, and TO an Inter- Ocean reporter spoke
freely on civil service reform and kindred topics
Mr. Mcdonald said he would not have voted for the
civil service law, owing to variety OF reasons one
being It's undue principle OF perpetuty I'm Office to
which he objected. believing it not according TO
the genius OF our Institutions, and going BACK too
much to British models; but having such a law
upon the statute books, he believed it TO be the
duty OF the President to enforce IT, This duty MI.
MI Mcdonald regarded the PreSident-elects recent
letter on this subject as fair and clear exposition
of Mr.. Cleveland's intentions. He did not think
that Mt, Cleveland was a man given to double
dealing, Or that he intended that anything should
be read between lines. Referring to cases OF vio-
lent partisanS In Office, Mr. Mcdonald said he be-
lieved Mr. Cleveland would in decided cases un-
doubleday exercise whatever powers OF removal he
has under The law, and leave the Senate to act in
the matter as it should please. Faithful public
Officers, Mr. Mcdonald thought, would be retained
until their terms expired He did not believe how
ever, that Mr.. Cleveland would feel under obliga-
uon5 regarding reappointmentS

IT Is BASED UPON THE GROUND THAT DEALING vrru

TO DEAL WITH.
The Senate is making very little progress with
the Spanish treaty and its prospects of ratification
are not regarded as increasing. Among the demo-
Gratis there Is disposition to oppose the pending
reciprocity treaties on the ground that to have A
line OF policy in relation to commercial affairs laid
down and even partially carried out by the retiring
administration might embarrass the incoming adj,
miniStratiOn. The idea seems to be that it would
be better TO leave the Cleveland administration en-
tirely free with regard to the important Questions
involved in these treaties.
"If they wGre not commercial treaties said a

A Mothers Grief.

bridge Friday morning and asked
! permission to see the place whore
Robert Emmot Odium stood when
he made his death leap. The Off

on the csrriageway. With sigh
the woman tottered up stairs aud
took seat in the car. When the
tram was in motion shs approacL-
ed the conductor and asked him to
point out the fatal spot.
"Ihere il is, ma'am," said the
conductor, politely pointing to
chalk mark on the railing of the
bridge.

The poor, spare figure trembled,
and even the conductor drew his
hand across his eyes.
"Was he your son, ma'am?' he
asked, with a touch of tenderness.
"Yes, he was my brave boy, my
generous boy" she said: "and still
they let him take his own life"
Later in the day Mrs. Odlum
talked with Herald reporter.

sponsibility Of my sons death on

Orders have been issued calling
in all the United States troops now
in the Geld operating against the
Apaches in both Arizona and New
Mexico, and couriers have been
dispatched to the different COM
mands with instructions for them
to retarn to their respective posts.
1t is the intention of the depart
ment to newly equip and uniform
the troops and provide for vigor-
Gus campaign against all the rene
gade Apaches off the reservation.
And in this connection we have
it on good authority that no obsta-
cIes will be placed in the way of
those Indians now at San Carlos
who may desire to leave. The or
der calling in the troops is official
and we have strong grounds for
the belief that orders were also is
sued to pay no attention whatever
to the reservation Indians, bat to
give them plenty Of opportunity
to join the renagades when and
as they see fit, all of which looks
as though nep departure was TO
be lnaugurated against the Apach-
es, and war Of determination is
to DO Immediately begun. The
programme, undoubtedly is to full
ly recuperate and re-equip the en-
tire military forces III the depart
ment and with the cooperation Of
the Mexican troops who are now
massing near the line in the vicin-
lty Of the Sierra Madres, descend
upon Geronimo and his cohorts
and exterminate the entire band,
and thus forever end this vexed
Indian question in Arizona. God
grant our surmises may prove cor
rect, and the expedition prove sue
cessful. --Ex.

A Washington correspondent
who has evidently been giving the
subject some attention, says that
the coming fiscal years work al
the bureau of ethnology has been
mapped out by Major Powell, and
the plans have received the formal
approval of Professor Baird. DR..
Cyrus Thomas, in charge of the
division of mound exploration, will
take the field with two or three as-
sissants soon after the beginning
OF the fiscal year, going first to
Wisconsin to examine and study
the effigy mounds of that locality,
and, later in the season, to Missis-
sippi and Tennessee. The divis-
ION has been in operation about
three years, unoer the charge of
DR.. Thomas, and has secured about
$4,000 specimens Of the handiwork
Of the mound builders, the study OF
which has solved many archeologi-
cal puzzles. A famous elephant
mound, which has long been bone
Of contention among ethnologists,
and which in the opinion of some
proved that the mound-buiiders
were co-exlstent with the elephant
upon this continent, appears by
the latest survey to have no trunk
al all. Earlier surveys compared
with each other show the trunk in
widely different posltins, which
leads to the inference that il the
appendages were not entirely i'm
agiuary it was never anything moro
than a sand hill piled up and
shifted about by the wind. With
out the trunk the mound bore as
much resemblance to a fox as
an elephant. Mr.. ATindeleff, the
artist, has already started ont to
revisit New Mexico, Utah and Ar
izona. Last season he went into
Chico canon, New Mexico, and
surveyed several remarkable ruin |
cd pueblos of great antiquity, but |
being under orders to return in |
time to complete his models for ex-
hibition at New Orleans, he did not
make the exhaustive study of the
ruins which their extent and char
icter warranted.-Ex.

many more wears elapsed ere our

paise Of territory reaching from

statesmen has ever warded off jeal-
