NIHILISM ONLY SLEEPS.
An Episode in Kharkoff Shows That
1t Still Lives.

A few days ago at midnight in the city of
Kharkoff, says st. Petersburg letter, there
was arrested in the street a man who proved
to be armed like regular terrorist. He had
on his person pistol, a dagger and some
poison In order to get all the glory to them
selves the gendarmes, without informing
their superiors, tried TO find the house in
which the captured Nihilist resided In a
suburb they found house in which one of
the two boarders was missing, and they
guessed that that was the place they needed
Though it was past nine in the morning, yet
the other man was asleep. They awoke him
and asked him to dress himself Two gen
darmes sat on the bed of their man, waiting
for him. Suddenly he thrust his hand under
his pillow, snatched big pistol and fred at
one OF the two gendarmes. He missed his
aim and the two men grappled with him.
Another shot was fired, and one of the two
gendarmes, Fessenko, fell mortally wounded
A third gendame rushed into the room and
his wrist was pierced with bullet More
men rushed in, and the NihiliSt was over
powered and secured. His name. as it APP
peared from his pass, was Platon Lebedin-
sky. The wounded gendarme was taken to
a hospital, but he died On the way In few
minutes all the authorities of K6arkoff, vice
governor, colonel of gendarmes, the province
attorney and the chief of the police, with
hundreds of policemen and gendarmes' were
at the place of shooting. In broad daylight.
before crowd of people, they had discovered
the Nihilists' quarters irregular running or
der, with a secret printing press and piles of
orders of the much-dreaded Executive Com
mittee, dynamite, nitro-glycerine and bombs
ready for use; an armorry of pistols, daggers,
and cartridges different masks and wigs and
dyes, and other accessories of Nihilist quar-
tiers. There was an oven full of explosives,
which no man in Kharkoff dared to approach
and so an expert on the Nihilist bombs was
sent here from this city. The expert placed
a bomb in hollow tree and exploded it by
means of the electric current The simple
minded residents of Kharkoff thought that
an earthquake shook them. Wooden splin-
tiers flew for half mile.
When Dimitry Andreevitch Tolstoi heard
of the Kharkoff incident he swooned, and on
coming to himself he swore that all the
authorities should be put in sacks
and drowned in the Donetz river at mid
night, along with their two captured Mini
lists

The Boston Advertisers Washington cor
respondent relates gross case of violation
of the civil service law in which Appoint
ment Clerk Higgins, First Auditor Cheno-
with and Congressman Warner of Ohio are
implicated. Mr. Chenowith wanted clerk
and four names were sent to him, among
them that of Owen Kellar Of Cleveland. Ohio.
who.had passed the civil service examina-
tion and stood highest on the list Cheno
with selected Kellar, but when the latter pre-
scented himself for assignment Higgins told
him he was not wanted. The First Auditor
subsequently told Kellar that he had received
information that he was a Republican, and
that his appointment would be very obiec-
tionable to certain people. When asked for
names Auditor Chenowith said that Con-
gresham Warner had requested him to sus-
pend action, and had filed charges signed by
about 20 persons, alleging that Kellar was in
sulting in his political talk to both men and
women, and that he had passed the civil SER
vice examination through the influence of
Congressman fayioT, the Republican mem
Der of the district. Kellar admitted that he
was Republican, whereupon Chenowith
told him that if he was appointed he would
discharge him. The next two lowest on the
list would, he said, be satisfactory to Gen.
Warner, as they were Democrats. By the
civil service law it is made misdemeanor
punishable by fine or Imprisonment for any
person to willfully or corruptly furnish
special or secret information for the purpose
of iniuring or improving the chances of any
aTson examined by the commission, being
appointed or promoted. Gen. Warner,
therefore, is clearly liable to prosecution
AS for Higgins and Chenowith they have
both violated the spirit of the law, if not its
letter, and ought not to have place longer
under an administration making civil SER
vice reform professions.

THE REcEIvERsHIP.

1t transpires that Mr.. Hugh C. Wal.
lace, who was reported from Washing
ton as having been appointed receiver
of the land Office in this city has not YET
received the appointment, and there is
probability that he will not get the
Office. The question of his residence
has been raised and is likely to defeat
him. Mr.. Wallace is represented as a
bright, active young gentleman, who
would make an efficient officer, but it
seems that in his case the President is
disposed to regard the party promise
that the Federal offices in the Terrific
ries be filed by bona fde residents. Mr.
Wallace claims to be citizen of Utah,
though if he has ever lived here the
fact has escaped the attention of others
perhaps his residence in Idaho for eigh-
teen months has become mixed up
in his mind somewhat with home in
Utah. AT any rate it understood that
the appointment has not been made
and will not be made unless Mr.. Wal
lace can show that he is bona fde resi-
dent of this Territory, which in
view of the fact that he is not such
resident, it is not likely he will be able
to do.

APPOINTMENTS.

A Republican organ, noting the COM
plants in the Democratic newspapers
that the Administration is slow about
turning the rascals out" says the
changes are being made much faster
than people generally imagine. The
editor calls attention to the fact that of
the eighty-hve Republican collectors,
only half remain, the designations of the
others having been rendered and &C
eepted. He says also that Postmaster
General Villas is turning Republicans
out and putting Democrats in at the
rate of about seventy-fiye a day. All
of which may be true, and yet the
changes are not being made half as fast
as they should be made or as the people
had the right to expect they would be
made. Mr.. Cleveland was elected
President over seven months ago, and
has been in Office more than three
months, and yet a Democratic official
is good deal of curiosity. Especially
is this true in the west, where the Demo
Gratis do not yet realize that the election
went their way last November. We
know that in Utah not a single change
has been made. One Federal official
resigned before or about the time Mr..
Cleveland was inaugurated, and the
vacancy existed so long that public
business was actually suffering before
the President filed one of the most i'm
portant offices in the Territory. 1t can
not be alleged as an excuse for the
delay in the changes here, that
there are no offensive partisans" in the
offices, for the Federal force in no State
or Territory has been more Extensively
partisan than that of Utah, whose morn
ing and evening prayers and daily
efforts have all been against the success
of the Democracy. The Democrats of
the country at large have right to
complain at the delay in changing the
administration from the Republicans to
the Democrats. Mr. Cleveland was

THE PosToFFIcE swINDLE.

Mr.. Isaac Hlbbs, the late postmaster
at Lewiston, Idaho, about whose ex-
PLOTS the dispatches have informed us
within the past few days, seems to be
a clever genius in the line OF roguery,
and yet when one looks over his method
of operation, the plan seems so simple
that the wonder is that, like many in
Ventions, it was not sooner discovered
and brought into practice. The money
order system of the Postal Department
has been thought to be almost perfect
as a plan for sending small sums of
money through the mail and indeed 1t
is so as between the sender and the
government, there. being no risk what
ever of losing provided the instructions
are followed. However, there
is weak place in the sys-
tenn, and it is that that Post
master Hi5bs discovered, and operated in
to the extent of between $4,000 and
$4,000. The postmaster would draw a
money order in some fictitious name,
in favor of bank, broker, or merchant
in the town, to whom Hubs, in the
name of the fictitious parsonage, would
write, asking that the money be drawn
and held to his credit until he called for
it. A few days afterwards he would
write to the banker or broker, asking
that draft for the amount previously
sent be forwarded by registered
letter to the fictitious name, al
ways giving the address OF some
town the mail for which would pass
through his Office, Lewiston being dis
tributing Office for eastern Washington
and northern Idaho. He would then
take the registered letter on its arrival,
sign the receipt and appropriate the
contents. Hibbs was III Office little
over year, and as the investigation
which has been going on for only three
weeks has resulted in bringing to light
more than $4,000 of his populations,
the inspector fears the total amount of
the stealings will reach $4,000. How
long Hibbs would have gone along be-
fore discovery is predetermined, had he
not left his Office month |
ago, without explanation and fail
ed to return. 1t then occurred to
the postal inspector that it might be a
good idea to investigate, and acting
upon this he has created the sensation
and made Hibbs famous as the discov-
erer of weak point in a system that
was presumed to be fraud-proof. OF
course, thefts of this character would
be small and soon discovered if frequent
reports and inspections were required,
which may be the rule hereafter, now
that their necessity has been shown. For
tunately the losses IN this ease win not
fall on individuals, the fraud being en-
tirely against government.

The circumstance of the President and

other Federal Offices or a majority of
them are in the hands of Republicans.
