Behind the Earthworks.

n. Quad.
Right in front Of me I see a face and
form which | select as a target. l could
kill him now, but grimly wait for him
to come nearer. He is pale with excite
ment, and as the man at his left is struck
down my target loses the steady step OF
the line. But only for an instant. Now
he is not over forty feet away, and the
fire of musketry has checked the adj
vance. Ny weapon points straight at
him. I am looking right into his eyes
Inote his brown curls, his high forehead
the white teeth shut tight together in
his excitement. He is not over 20 years
old. He has a mother whose poor old
heart will almost break tomorrow. He
has sisters who will refuse to be COM
forted for long months. And such a
fair-faced boy must have a sweetheart
whose very soul will cry out in anguish
at the news Of his death.
lam going to kill him! The check
has confused him.. He looks ut the right
and the left, and then into my eyes. He
is standing almost alone. AS our eyes
meet he sees murder in mine, and | read
an appeal for mercy in his. The result
of battle does not hinge upon the life
of a corporal. The war will not be over
the sooner for his death. But I take de-
liberate aim at his breast and press the
trigger, and even before feel the shock
Of discharge I see the red blood spray
out from the horrible wound, and he
falls back with cry upon his lips.
The Octopus is beaten back. I go
over the works and seek my target.
Those brown curls are damp with death
the fair face as white as snow-the
ground soaked with blood so precious
that every drop will call for a hundred
tears from women's eyes. The blue eyes
are wide open, the lips are parted, and
as I bend over him it seems as if his
voice came back for an instant to whis-
per the exclamation: Murder
And that was war ! That was one of
the acts which helped to make q victory
for thousands to shout over; for flags to
ripple; for rockets to ascend; for children
to cheer and women to bless high heaven.

possibility that Cleveland will not
appoint republican federal soldiers.
Mr.. Manning has been called a
'bourbon" but he has appointed a
republican chief Of the bureau of
printing and engraving,even though
Mr.. Graves refused to accept till as
sured that no political interference
with his department should be per-
mitted. When the new administfa-
ton allows its opponents to retain
office it proves itself more tolerant
than any republican, president has
ever been; viii it be strange if in
filing vacancies. representation is
accorded to those democrats who
were also faithful federal soldiers !?
There are thousands of these in the
north who are as capable rs their
republican neighbors, and wherever
this is the case they will be given
place if they will take it. The trou-
bic is even now, that democrats
have no class which waits fol- Office
as republicans do, and offices are va
cant because democrats cannot drop
work and business at once to serve
the public. There are more yacan-
cies everywhere than applicants,
and the heads of departments are
much embarrassed by this state Of
affairs.
Republicans are sneering at their
opponents too because the promised
reforms have not already been car
ried out. Work they have not
done in twenty-five years, they ex-
pect the new administration to do
in five months, and refuse to take
any comfort to themselves for what
is already done They may possess
their souls in peace for a little time,
and be assured that when the next
election is upon us the people will
not be ashamed of the record made
by the first democratic president
since the war. If so, it matters lit
tie what tho politicians say.

cause the lottery robbers rule New

not, the south can better afford to
work out her redemption without

than to see Beauregard and Early

hero Of Manassas and the friend Of

France has been more fortunate

century than Germany or England.
Bismark will be mouned by the
Fatherland he created, and the
death of Gladstone viii leave a
void hard to fill, but Victor Hugo
is mourned by all who read or take
interest in the progress of the world.
He was a true citizen of his century

the literary world that he IS great

contain the history of our race most
valuable to those who come after us,
and the milestone on the road Of
progress inscribed with the name
of Victor Marie Hugo is the most
important since that Of Goethe. Like
Shakespeare, he belonged not to his
country but to the world which
mourns her loss.

1t might be well to sugg,s. that all
public reforms are not designed for ma
5ionaI use. With Philadelphia represen-
trtives selling out a local candidate and
pocketing the money, a rural justice of
the peace caught stealing chickens and
a Schuylkil squire appropriating the set

there is work for the reformer nearer

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND, in company with
member of his Cabinet, plucked up his
courage on Sunday and took walk about the
city. The administration organ, in mention.
ing the momentous circumstance, says that,
although the stroll extended some distance,
the gentlemen were not disturbed or annoyed
in any way. This experience fully sustains
the position of the Journal on this point the
suggestion having been made some time since
in these columns, that equally modest and
much greater men had frequently wandered
about the capital without molestation.

MIR. Hendricks Mistake.
Washington Special,


Mr.. Hendricks thought when he first came
here that he would control the administration.
He thought that the President was mex
perienced, and would be only too glad to travel
for time in the experienced leading strings Of
the Vice-president. Mr.. Hendricks has discov-
cred his mistake. He does not go to the White
House near as much as he did when he first
came here. Mr.. Hendricks might have had q
great deal of influence with the President if he
had confined his advice to the broad
field of political generalties. The Presi-
dent would have been glad to consult
when he found that the Vlce-president only
called upon him when he had the claim of some
ofice-seeker to urge the latter lost his hold at
the White House. 1t appears that the Vice
president has needlessly compromised the dig
nifty of his position by too active a search for
been making struggle for the Office of Public
Printer: There was first a candidate by the
name of Stoll; then Richard j. Bright, former
Sergeant-at-arms of the Senate, was indorsed by
the delegation. The Public Printer has no
term: He is removable at the will of the
President The present Public Printer Mr..
Rounds has managed the Office we'll He has put
the establishment on good business basis. AS
no charges have been preferred against him. the
President has declined to disturb Mr. Rounds
Several weeks ago Mr.. Rounds had a controversy
with photographer by the name of Bell about
some work 1t was finally settled between
them, but enough occurred in the controversy to
occasion some gossip It was understood that
Bell charged Rounds with having taken adyan-
tage of HIM. The Vice-president heard of il,
and actually went to call upon Bell to find out
if he could not get something from him to use
against the Public Printer to secure his removal
There have been number of such undgnfed
acts as this upon the part of the Vice president
which have had a tendency to seriously lessen
his influence at the White House.

sessed other qualifications which should endear
him to truly Democratic administration;
but, in spite of all confident expectations, an
other man, an unknown man, one not at all
active in politics, has received the appoint

no influence with the administration in regard
to the patronage of his own district. And, as
he puts the question, echo seems to answer
