The Legislature of Illinois is still in a
0uandury because of a deadlock between
h two parties. Gen. Logan has beer
nominated by the Republicans, and
William Il. Morrison, by the Demo-
Gratis, for L. 5. Senate.
The recent defeat of the English fore
is in sudan, Africa, and the killing OF
the Commander, Gen. Gordon, has
aroused England to make greater efforts
TO gain control of the barbarians' coun-
try. 1t is stated that the Italian gov
eminent is forwarding 1900 troops to
aid England in her Egyptian conquests.
On last Saturday morning a very de-
structive fire occurred in New Bruins
wick. An extra freight train from
Philadelphia stopped on the bridge Owe
the Raritan River, owing to a broken
truck. Because of the negligence Of the

ran down the canal over the ice and set
lire to Janeway Il Co.'S. paper factory,
and also the factory of the Consolidated
Jar Co. Frank Dumar, brakeman, and
and a car load of horses went over the
wreck, and were burned. The loss to
the factories will amount to about $780,
coo, being partly covered by insurance.
The signs of the times seems 10 be for
the better. Business men look for a re-
,iyal with the opening of the spring
trade. Jay Gould has given up an eN-
vacted trip TO the South because he says
there is to be a rise in stocks, and he
wants to b, at home to have a hand in

for expectation is a good sign. The

CURRENT COMMENT.
Fig Lear Reform.

President Cleveland understood and
recognized the spirit OF civil service re-
form because in his inaugural address ho
gave distinct and solemn assurances of
his fidelity TO this reform; he promised
that thoro should be no removals without
cause; that tho government should bo
conducted upon general business princi-
plcs, aud that, in effect, tho principle,
that, ITO tho victor belong the spolS,"
should be done away with. But
rs to the manner In which the reform of
the civil service is carried out, silence
would be tho best criticism. IL is from
day to day sooponly violated that the llli-
nois Stoats /eit,ug recently humorousiy
characterized the civil service ref
orm practiCed her as the fig leaf
used to cover the nakodness Of its
violators. The many dis.
charged officials, with rare exceptions.
were irrcproaohable In every respect
We must admit, though, that
there were also some gross violations of
civil service reform under the Republican
administration, and if the latter had car
riod it out strictly IL would have fur
nishcd procopt to tho Democratic
administration. % Civil service
reform and wcll.regulated public adj
miuistration must be despaired OF so long
rs there is n party government and 50
long as politics aud tho government are
not entirely rated.-nansidtcd from

MADISON, Wis, Juno 5.-Capt. Hugh
Lewis, Madison, created a profound SEN
sation among politicians to-day by pub
fishing in tho State Journal q column COM
munication, absolutely ronouncing allie
gianco to the Democratic party, of which
he has always been member. lie is one
of the greatest organizers and hardest
workers which tho Democracy in this
section of the state has had in years past,
and this fact renders his declaration SO
astonishing. At present he is employed
in tho lower house Of Congress under
Democratic patronage. He has held tho
position for long series of years, and his
prospects for advancement undor the new
administration were very bright. He is
one-aTmed soldier, and an intimate
friend OF Congressman Bragg. The rea-
son he advances for the change of faith is
tho extravAgant partiAlity which Presi-
dent Cleveland is manifesting toward
those against whom Lewis fought for the
preservation of the Union. Ho does not
want to be regarded as Democratic
Mugwump, but az a straightout Repub-
lican," and declares his patriotism will
not permit him to remain longer with q
party which is composed of "blackmail-
ers slanderers, and dispensers of patron
age by means Of falsehood and false pre-
tense" He charges the Democracy with
gross hypocrisy and dishonesty in regard
to civil service reform. The communica-
tion is the only theme discussed among
the politicians tonight, and Lewis's dec
laratlons are generally regarded as hon
orabe and manly. Edward Flaherty, u
prominent Irish-American business man
OF Madison, and lifelong Democrat, will
probably publish a similar card soon.--

Tho death Of Victor Hugo recalls,
among other things, romantic episode
which seems 10 be unknown here and
forgotten even IN France. 1t is the cap
ture OF the famous brlgand, Fra Diavolo,
by Gen. Hugo, father of tho great poet.
The general, who was q son of carpen-
tor, was born in Nancy, in Lorraine. and
was quite young officer at tho time Of
the capture Of the famous brigand. He
preserved tho dagger of the brigand for
many years. When a museum in his
native town was opened he made pres
ent of tho dagger to that institution,
where il is still to be seen. The true
