a REAL REFORM VICTORY.

How President Cleveland Tnterfered in the
Matter OF the Woighership of the Brook
lynn District.
When Collector Hedden removed
Captain Bacon from the position of
Weigher of the Brooklyn District, and
appointed Mr. Sterling in his place it
was felt to be an insidious and danger
GUS attack on civil-serVice reform.
But If such designs existed on the
part of the Collector the result has
shown striking instance of the power
of public opinion and retributive JUS
tice. The order Of the President, that
the names Of all the persons who had
successfully passed the examination
should be sent up by the examiners in-
stead of the names OF the four highest
only, placed before the collector about
thirty candidates. including Mr.. Ster-
ling. At the head of the list stood Mr..
J.. w. O'Brien The Collector APP
pointed Mr.. O'Brien Weigher, though
his real wishes were well-knoWn to be
strongly in favor of Mr.. Sterling.
This is a victory for real reform a
victory far more signal and more inn
portant in its consequences than it
would have been if Mr.. Sterling had
never been appointed or if only the
four highest names on the list had been
sentin. It proves that the Democratic
party is sincere in its support Of reform.
that secret opposition can not prevail
against the law while enforced by
Democratic administration, and that
the power of the machine is not SO
great as it used to be.
MIR. O'Brien's appointment is in the
strict line of real reform. He stood
first on the list Of applicants, his grade
being ninety-fve. There could be no
question about his other qualifications,
because he has served in the cnstom-
house for twenty years and was As
aistant Weigher under Captain Bacon.

Successful farmers grow corn fodder in

To get the best timothy sod the seed should
be sown on winter grain in the fall. and a
liberal seeding with medium clover in the
spring should follow.
Hungarian grass cured makes excellent feed

to four tons OF cured grass per acre is not an

The Trouble He Experienced Getting .
Glass Of GIN In Venice.

Daring the journey, says the Boston Trans
script, We enjoyed the companionshp OF a
genial, though somewhat eccentric American,
who r. galed us with an entertaining account
Of some OF his experiences. He was about 80
years old. was travelling alone (tbs being his
second trip abroad), add hsi.ed according -
n gilt-edged card which he produced) from .
town in southern New York. He Was rather
nervous and seldom stayed long 10 one place.
He carried small hand sa,chel and a
light coat. This was his luggage. He
seemed TO have plenty Of money, and was
roaming about Just where his fancy led him.
He was generous to a fault, smoked inces-
sanity, and withal was an entertaining COM
psnion. We asked him how he got along
with so little luggage. "Well," he replied,
nonchslcntly, "the fact is, the more | travel
the less | carry. always wear black, but
left my black suit in London and bought this
gray one, Tor 81 to t,svel IN. As for shirts
and underclothing, buy new ones now and
then. 1t is just as cheap as to get them

learned what wanted, and two or three
started in different directions after the gin. 1t
was finally fOrthcoming-a huge jug holding

jug down and stood around to
see me drink the liquor. Gin straight

seven walters were hunting up some water

within sight. The idea Of snyone's wanting
to drink water seemed to turn their heads.
Finally, when all was ready, hearty half an
hour having passed, no fewer than eight gath

curiosity was satisfied. shall never forget,

All the Springfield daily papers were
"scooped' yesterday, on sensational news
item that might have added CLEAN OF sun
shine to the general gloom and dearth of
news. This is a remarkable instance of total
accidency, for when the reporters of this city
lose an item it must be regarded as miracle
in its way. Nevertheless it is true, as the
sequel proves, Mr.. George W. Hills, busi-
ness manager Of Miss Estella Clayton, better
known as "Fave,te," was standing complac-
emily at the depot in = general rush of pas
sengers to gain access to the Arcade entrance,
when he felt the def fingers of pickpocket
gently gliding down the fine gold chain that
crosses his manly breast, in glittering links Of
gold.
Mr.. Hills KEEP, remarkably cool and col
lected, awaiting results. The light fingers
had sufficient time to pass in 10 the vest pocket
when there was a ruslle in the true inward
ness Of the pocket followed by a scream OF
pain from the woud-be thief. The passengers
from The train and the chronic Ioafers abou,
the depot at first thought there was some
trouble between the two strangers, and COL
leci ID in crowd about them, but those who
wern nearer were surprised to see dangling
from the thieis hand veritable live fying
squirrel, which was finally shaken off, and
the would-be thief escaped in the crowd, AS
Mr.. Hills, with a smile and several reassuripg
pats on the head OF the little pet, placed it
again in the pocket. The fact is that
Mr.. Hills some time since purchased
the flying squirrel, and has carried
it as pet in his vest pocket instead of q
watch. The little fellow seems to take
kindly to his comfortable quarters, and also
Prides himself in his fine gold chain and
band that surrounds his neck, and is beauti-
tully engraved with the name "Favette."
When the SUNDAY GLOBE REPUBLIC man
interviewed the "vsrmint" he was rather too
frisky for stsnography and too briei for long
hand, although he takes kindly to the press
generally, 90 Mr.. Hills says, but aside from
what 10 given above he don't say anything
regarding his previous condition hence over
which q veil is kindly drawn. No arrests.

Nay, more than that; when Dr. J. Y. Msrlay,
Of this city, than whom there is not mau of
purer, higher character in the whole Methc-
dist church, or out of it, offered the amend
ment that Nothing in this report shall be
construed as committing this conference
or the church 10 the support Of any
political party they laid this amend
ment on the table, by u vote OF 81 to 46l
Mr. Leonard was on the high tide of vindica-
ton, and even ratification. II was triumph
number two.
But hereupon Rev. Dr.. William Young en-
tered hi, solemn protest. "He was not" he
declared, sin favor of committing the confer
ence to the support of any political party,
and he would be on record as SUCH" This
awakened the conference from the spell OF
Mr.. Leonsrd's pathetic speech to realizing
sense of the length they had gone in pushing
the Methodist church after his triumphal car
Rev. Thomas Lee introduced an amendment
OF precisely the same purport of DR.. Mar
lays $50 unceremonously slammed upon the
table,, aud they adopted it unanimously.
So near did our Mr.. Leonard come to cap
turing the conference and committing the
church, ic its official capacity, to justifca-
tion not to say goriication, OF his campaign
against the republican psrty--a church nine
tenths of whose voters are as true and staunch
republicans as are to be found in Ohio
or in the nation. As it was, he came off
victorious, enough. He can, as be doubt
less does, felicitate himself on the triumph
he has achieved.
He was sent back to his charge with ap-
probation and welcome.
The principle Tone principle) of the party
OF which he is the head candidate was en-
phaticslly indorsed by the conference of his
church.
The tenets Of the other two parties on the
same subject-namely, that of taxation Re
pubican) and that OF license (Democratic)
were as emphaticsly condemned.
The clause alluding to his candidacy, and
declaring 1--WE cannot indorse" it, was stricken
from the record.
What more could Mr.. Leonard ask |,
must have been more than he expected, tor
he said in his touching little speech, al do
not ask you for a personal vindica,ion Of the
course | have taken" If the above psr,icu.
lars do not constitute . personal vindca-
tion," what, then, shall they be called?
II ltapriest of the Catholic church had been
nominated for high office in this state by q
political party, and . convocation of tha,
church with as authoritative functions as
those Of this Methodist conference had given
him as gooi send-off as Mr.. Leonard has
received at the hands OF bis ecclesiastical
brethren convened in Cincinnati, would no,
the Protestant people OF the state have been
prone to suspect that the Catholic church, al
church, was diminishing just little dan
gerously rouni the ragged edge of political
propagandism? One would not have needed
to put on spectacles to hear frantic yawp OF
two TO that effect.
That is the kind Of a triumph our Mr.
Leonard has achieved. We think that he bal
sort 0! scooped the Methodist conference, SC
10 speak. Whether he will scoop the church
after that fashion remains to be seen. But, a,
any rate, and so far, hurra for Leonard
