Grape hung on the door OF the ID trict AttOr-

not believed that 1t would be SAFE to tell This
news at once 10 the Cardinal; he was himself
In poor health; mighty responsibilities and
devotion to his work were weighing him
down, and it was feared that the reception of
sudden news Of his friends death might so
far unnerve him as to put his own life in dan

Undertaken Merritt's Bill.

Among the attendants at the recent
convention of Funeral Directors" at
Philadelphia was Undertaken Merritt, of
New York city. This gentleman, it will
be remembered, had charge OF the funeral
of Gen. Grant, and it was currently re-
ported that his bin, which it was pre-
sumed would be paid by Congress, would
be between $4,000 and $4,000.
Undertaken Merritt made a speech be-
fore the convention, in which be adver-
tised himself to the best of his ability. He
rev exceeding merry, and stated that
be loved his profession, in fact he never
was so happy as when he was standing
10y a corpse. (Of course he meant the
corpse Of wealthy patron He was in
favor, he said, of opening Funeral Dr.
reetors'" college, and teaching how to
embalm and put on professional
airs. Then he had something TO
say about the Grant funeral, and triumph
antly announced that his bill was only
$l4,l63 including the charge for 500
coaches. He said he did not want to
make a fortune out of that one funeral,
and that he charged only fair proft--a
little more than he would have charged
tor the funeral of an ordinary person, got
ten up on the same grand scale. He ad-
United that he got the usual commission
Of 10 per cent. from the owners of the
coaches.
Undertaken MerrItt's speech was I'M
doubleday good advertisement, if it was
rather silly and in bad taste. The fact
that he had only charged $l4, 1863 for Gen.
Grants funeral ought to be put to his
credit. II is to his credit that he was hon
est enough TO acknowledge that he charged
too much, though not a great deal too
much. lie said he hadn't received the
money, and be didn't know when be
would get it. 1t is to be hoped that it will
be paid him as soon as possible, less what
ne has charged over what he would charge
tor similar funeral Of any other person.
II he has to wait long for his money he
ought to have interest on it.
There is fine sentiment in the country
that demands that the government shall
pay for Gen. Grants funeral, but il IN
dertaker Merritt has charged So or Sl6S
or Sl,l63 too much, the excess ought to be
stricken of the bill.
Business principles ought to govern the
payment of funeral bills as we'll as bills
Of any other description.

Commissioner ThOman and the In
diana Bonds.

The resignation Of Judge Thoman as
member Of the Civil Service Commission
has not, it seems. been received by the
] President. Even if his resignation has
not yet been asked for, it is probable that
it will be in view Of the position which
Judge rhoman takes with respect to the
| $4,000 of worthless bonds which he gave
as the consideration for a handsome house
in Washington.
! The report is that he will be made the
/ defendant IN a lawsuit for the recovery
of the house, or its value. He considers
/ that he is under no obligation to save the
holders Of the bonds from loss.
1t may be that the holders Of the bonds
have no legal remedy against him. 1t
seems that when he offered the bonds IN
| payment for his house he suggested that
their validity should be investigated. The
1 suggestion was acted upon, and an In.
/ dianapolis bank pronounced them valid.
There is no doubt that Judge Thoman
was satisfied that the bonds were good,
/ and were worth all he received for them.
The question is, however, whether there
isn't moral obligation resting on him TO
save from loss those to whom he traded
the bonds.
or course, if the law sustains him in the
course which he has pursued, there is
nothing to be said against him, or il it
turns out upon investigation that the law
does not sustain him, there will be no
good ground tor questioning his integrity,
because he may have acted on the adj
vice OF counsel, in whose legal knowledge
he had the greatest confidence.
He, however. occupies an important
public position. To ill it successfully he
must be qualified not only to discharge its
duties satisfactorily, but there must be
nothing in his public or private life calcu-
lated to lessen respect for him.
There are those. doubtless, who think
that he ought not to retain possession of
house for which be gave bonds that
proved to be worthless. Already a good
deal Of political capital against the Civil
Service Commission has been made out Of
this worthless bond transaction.
The criticisms of the expense accounts
Of Commissioners Eaton and Gregory,
and the bond business of Commissioner
Thoman, have done great deal to lessen
the respect of the people for civil service
reform.
Unless 1t is desired that the enemies of
civil service reform shall be successful in
rendering imperative the civil service
law the Civil Service Commission must be
composed of men whose characters and
conduct will help to increase respect for
the law.

Three Features ofthe Massachusetts
Census

S0hShHs
Three features OF the census Of Massa-
chusetts that has Just been completed
under State authority, attract great
deal Of attention. The first is that the
population OF Boston is not as large as il
was thought to be, and not by any means
large enough 10 satisfy the pride OF
Bostonians. II is said, however. that the
enumeration was made at time when a
very large percentage OF the population
was out of the city.
The second feature is the health OF
Boston. Tue figures show that the death
rate is much beyond what IL has been re-
ported TO be. The rate, Of course, has
been based upon a population much
greater. according TO the census, than
actually exists. There is no doubt that
Boston - a clean city, but cleanliness is
not bar against cousum ption.
The third and most curious feature OF
an, however, Is the remarkable excess OF
females in the state. There are in the
state 1862 more females than males. II
certainly h q good State for women to
emgrate from. The chance that they Will
tnd husband there is not by any means
good. In 1910 the excess OF females was
only 1872. In the 45 years that have
elapsed since that time the population Of
the ate has increased only 2S5 per cent.
while the female majority has increased
1000 per cent. II the difference between
The number OF the males ana females in
creases within the next half century as
rapidly as IL has IN the last half the women
win be so greatly in the majority that they
will bee justified In inviting the men TO
take back seat.
