The lot of the new and revised Civil.service
Commissioners is not happy one. The mug
wumps, who believe that the king can do no
wrong and refuse to admit that Mr.. Cleve-
land was responsible for any of the irregular
tiles in the Sterling case, lay the blame for
the suspension of the rules upon the commits
sioners. On the other hand, the administra-
ton organs berate the unfortunate officials for
not understanding the Presidents evident in
tention to make loophole by which Sterling
might crawl back into Office and also for the
premature announcement that the certifica-
ton of all the applicants in that case was not
to be precedent. The poor men mean we'll,
it may be, but the way before them promises

THE Legislature of Oregon yesterday elected
Hon. John H. Mitchell United States senator,
to succeed Lafayette Grover. This is the end
ing of notable contest which began last
winter, and continued during the entire ses-
sion without result. Solomon Hirsch, a
wealthy and intelligent man, chairman of the
State central committee, then received the
highest number of Republican votes but
could not command the full party strength,
and it was impossible to reach an adjustment
Governor Moody was charged with desire to
become senator, and his influence was believed
to have been exerted against the election
of anybody. The Governor was forced by
public sentiment to call the Legislature to-

tor before the meeting of Congress in Decem-
Der next; but again it has been understood
that he was intriguing for the place. Mr..

In Philadelphia inadequate school accom-
modations for the primary grades and an in
sufficient school fund has led to an outcry in
certain quarters against the continuance of
the expensive high-school of the city. 1t is
maintained that the great majority of parents
who send their children to the high-school
can afford to pay for their private tuition,
and protest is made against sacrificing the
interests of another class Of the community
for their benefit. It is phase of the same
sentiment which crops up now and then in
every city, and will continue to do so until
the public school system is so arranged as to
do no injustice to any portion of the popula-

JUST why it should be considered necessary
or desirable by medical men to subject the re-
mains of actor Mccullough to dissection, is
not quite clear It does not appear that his
form of brain disease differed in any respect
from that suffered by thousands of other men
who have transgressed mental and physical
laws; nor is it suggested that the cause of
science will gain anything by the description
of fresh Cease" The autopsy seems to
have been instigated by curiosity concerning
a prominent man rather than by any more
commendable reason.

Mitchell was the undoubted choice of the
people of Oregon. His tour of the State was
in the nature of an ovation, but there were
enough Republican members of the Legisla-
ture opposed to him to prevent caucus and
concerted action. So, on Tuesday balloting
began in open session, Mr.. Mitchell leading,
but still lacking several of the number neces-
sary to elect His opponents resorted to every
possible means of attack, not shrinking
from the grossest personalities; but yesterday,
on the third ballot, the Democrats came to
his support, and be was elected by decided
majority. Mr.. Mitchell has served one term
in the Senate; he is Republican, and on all
questions upon which party lines may and
should properly be drawn, he can be depended
upon to vote as Republican.

The grand charity ball last night was a
complete and gratifying success. About one
thousand people were in attendance, and
every appointment and feature of the occa-

pleasure by all who participated. The towns

THE most striking exhibition of tender hui
man sympathy which has come under public
observation for some time was the hasty screw
ing down Of the coffinl lid over one of the three
Italians executed in Chicago, when signs of
life were observed. The friend of the family
who performed this kind and thoughtful act
explained, day or two later, that he did so
lest the murderer's restoration to life should
cause him to suffer a second hanging.

ever his motive, for his action in bringing
Messrs. Hill and Smith to the bar of the
Criminal Court to answer the charge of VIC
lating the election law in the matter of the
ballots of one of the precincts of the Eight
zenith ward. These two men are Republicans,
one the inspector and one Judge. Mr..
Hills name has not hitherto been connected
with the disappearance of the ballots, and we
have never heard any suspicion of his action.
Mr. Smith has been charged with improper
conduct and the three Republican mem
bers Of the grand jury voted favora-
BILE to his indictment, while the three
Democratic members voted against indicting
him. We are not violating any grand jury
room secrets when we say that Prosecuting
Attorney Harding gave the jury to understand
that his politics would not prevent him from a
vigorous and thorough prosecution of the case
against Smith, and we hope he will not allow
anything to hinder or prevent him from
doing his full duty in the shape the case has
now taken. Let all the facts be known, and
the law brought to bear upon them. If
Mr., Smith has illegally tempered
with the ballots we want to see
him prosecuted and properly pun
ished. The Republican party cannot afford
to shield any one who commits an offense
against the perfect freedom and fairness of
elections, and we do not believe that any Re-
publican worthy the name desires to. Let
Mr.. Smith stand or fall by the law and the
evidence
But while Mr.. Cottrell has had the courage
of his convictions, from whatever motive, to
bring about the investigation Of the case of
the disappearance Of those ballots no
Republican, or friend of law and order,
has seen fit to follow his exam
pie and file an information against
Sterling r. Holt and 'Sim" Coy for their
outrageous and Infamous, and, we believe,
illegal and criminal assault upon the ballot
Why this is so we do not care to inquire;
but we do say that it is not creditable that
those most vitality interested, and who
accepted candidates. and trusts from the
Republican party, have not felt it to be their
duty, as it should be their privilege, to defend
what was committed to them by all the means
the law puts in their power. When a
disgraceful and shameful partisan grand
jury failed to obey their oaths of Office,
the Republicans personally interested, and
who had been intrusted with the duty by
the Republican party, should not have let the
sun 60 down before they had filed an informa-
ton against the men who had wilfully, def
antly, and we think, criminally committed a
violent assault upon the ballot box Mr.
Cottrell promptly assumed what his party had
placed upon his shoulders, and he is to be
commended for the action, if he honestly be-
lieves in the probable guilt of those against
whom he has filed. Not a day
should be allowed to pass until like action
is taken as against Holt and his associates
and thus let the Criminal Court of the county
pass upon the question whether ballots can
be stolen with impunity or ballot boxes be
broken open with hatchets in the interests Of
lawlessness and criminality.

Pocket Money for The Young

use Of money. Besinrewith small
allowance of probationary, which
they feel is their own, and let m &C
csunt Of its expenditures be made to
you. Carefully guard against any
ridicule if they have been foolish
purchases, for that will soon beget
distrust, then follows deceit, and
very soon you viii never know what
has become of the money. Kindly
advise, 50 that if your boy is tempted
to spend his money in n way he
knows is wrong, he viii freely come
TO you and tell of it. Until you feel
positively compelled to 1t, do not
withdraw your Allowance Git may
be that you will find no other way
to stop a career of wasteful and
sinful extravaganza, but let all Ell
forts bs made in other ways first.
Teach your boys to earn little for
themselves. Many little ways viii
suggest themselves. It IS so much
more helpful to them as well as an
enjoyable pride, that IT'S always
woII to encourage all such endeavor.
We know a mother who prizes,
aboye all her possessions, a pair OF
gold sleeve buttons purchased with
the first money her boy ever earned,
and though he is now III business for
himself, We fancy he never invested
any money moro cheerfulIy than
that. Good Housekeeping.
