Says Tr'teman Joyce, referring to the
civil service law, in letter to the
Inter Ocean: A very little tinkering
will make the law an excellent shield
for the most infamous partisan favorit-
ism. Indeed it is not far from that
now. The democratic party will not
fail to supply the requisite amendment,
and the course of its peculiar friends
has not been such as to encourage re-
publican congressman to fight very saw
agely to prevent the spoilation o.! it's
meritorious features. In my iudg-
ment the folly of its advocates has set
this peculiar reform back at least a
decade. So needful in politics is COM
mon sense as an adjunct of wisdom.

Senator Dolph has introduced bill
in the U. S. Senate which will open a
way for the settlement of Oreson's
claim against the General Government
for expenses in organizing and equip
ing the state militia during the recent
rebellion, and which has not been set
tied on account of the loss of evidence.
The bill provides that where original
papers relating to the claims of Oregon
and other Pacific coast states and terri
tories against the general government
shall have been lost, destroyed, or mis-
sing, on proof, copy of the same, to-
gether with all documents and papers
relating thereto, can be reinstated as
evidence on certificate of the state
officers having custody Of such papers,
under seals of Office; and that when
these certified copies shall have been
filed with the secretary of war they
shall be used as evidence in adjusting
those Claims in all respects the same as
the original.

''The nation is to be congratulated in
the election of ex-senator Mitchell, re-

Seventeen democrats voted for Mitchell
and thus secured his election over ex-

The late Mrs. Helen Hunt jackson,
known to the literary world as "H.
H." was one of the most noble and
gifted women of her time. She began
her literary work with great enthusi-
asm at the age of thirty-four and pur-
sued it with remarkable energy to with
in four days of her death. Hers was
genius of peculiar charm, being of
that rare kind that pleases old and
young alike. The readers of the best
American literature are all familiar
with her words, and remember how
earnestly she labored to better the con-
dition of the Indians. Her interest in
this direction began upon hearing
Standing Bear lecture in Boston, and
from that time she was accustomed to
call herself "woman with hobby"

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Seventy Passengers More or Less Hurt
None Fatally.

JEBsEx CRY. N. J., Jan. 3O-The Phila-
delphia express On the Reading Railroad was
wrecked at Greenvills this morning. Some
lives are reported lost.
TIE train consisted OF four c7aches, we'll
filed with passengers. The accident occurred
between Danforth avenue station aud the
cemetery bridge.
The train was running rapidly when the
wheel OF the forward coach broke and the
car was derailed. 1t ran into a coal train
and was upset, and the other three cars were
wrecked.
The accident was witnessed By a mounted
policeman, who telepboned the facts to DO.
lice headquarters. Various hospitals have
dispatched surgeons and ambulances to the
scene.
Up to the present time twenty-five
wounded persons have been removed from
the wreck, and many more are yet to be ex-
tricated.
There were seventy passengers on board.
1t ia remarkable that many were not killed
outrighC. As far as can be learned w. CAL
houn, OF Philadelphia, is the only one seri.
ously injured. The rear brakeman broke the
upper windows of the rear coach and helped
out the passengers. The news5oy, D. Bur
nan, said be was in the rear car aud after
the car had bumped along for few mo.
ments IL stood on end. Then he fell over
the stove and was pulled out of the window.
The overturned stoves set FIRE to the wreck
in several places, but they were extinguished
by the efforts of the brakemen and rescued
passengers.
The Long Branch express came along nine
minutes after the disaster, bat was stopped
by danger signal.
A special train was sent out from jersey
City and brought back the passengers from
the train. Those from Philadelphia are all
more or less the worse for the shaking up.
The track was torn up for a considerable
distance. The tender and cars were piled in
a confused mass. The cause OF the accident
can not be ascertained

Representatives in the House is D. ID.
Moody, of DeKaIb. He is now serving his

most substantial kind. He is not one Of the
wind-bags Of the Legislature, yet he accom-

during the Tweed ring regime, and contested
by the city since 1871 on the ground of
fraud, and finally decided against the city
by the Court of Appeals last fall The
meters have remained unused, piled in the
corporation yard, and the city has been
meanwhile purchasing others. Now that
the city has been compelled to pay for them
it is proposed to utilize them instead OF pur-
chasing others.

Another San Francisco Sensation.

SAN FRANcIsco, Jan. 30.-The newspapers
have entered on crusade against the in
iquitous practice, just discovered, of white
mothers giving and selling their illegitimate
babies to the Chinese. Inquiry shows that
a system atic traffic in them has been going
on a long time, mainly through the agency
OF private lying in hospitals. Four cases of
white babies in the possession of the female
propl ietors of Chinese brothels have been
already discovered, and there are good
gTouncs for believing there are hundreds of
others; but the Chinese fearing discovery
have hid them out Of sight. 1t is asserted
tonight, on excellent authority, that these
female children are purchased by Chinese
spectators and sent to China where they
are raised until twelve years old, when they
are sold TO rich Cinnamon for large sums,
who place them in their harems.

torily he is getting In his work. Where he
usually bluDders is in doing this all too tad.
iously, and sometimes with just flavor of
personality or partissnism. It is not very
rare even for a minister to pray at the listen
ing Solons, instead OF to the Divine Provi.
dence, and to insinuate q preference for
legislation which msy be obnoxious to
not a few amongst them. These little
peculiarities, and the habit OF informing the
Almighty-under the head of Thou
Knowest'-of multitude of matters and
things that are not always Just SO, have
tendency to degrade this respectable func.
ton, and, perhaps, wither the blossoms of
piety that Turk in legislative souls.
We commend to these reverend gentle
men the more simple style of dsvotions ex-
emplifed by our Lieutenant Governor, and
OF which the motive and chief burden was,
How sweet and pleasant it is for brethren to

COMING HOME TO Roosr.

1t appears from one of Wolseley's numer-
Gus dispatches that the Soudanese garrison
at Metemneh is $4,000 strong, and COM
manded by a Frenchmsn, Oliver Pain-a
newspaper man at that. Judging from the
resistance Of their outposts on the field,
which have strewn the British advance with
victims, it will be no light task to Dust these
forces from their desert stronghold. Mean
while England has no cause to complain
that Frenchman is lending them his tai
ents and bis sword. There has not been a
fsreign war for a generation. and especially
not one of an infernecine character IN
which meddlesome British officers were not
found taking hand. OF verify, history
is full of retributions; and with all her AFRO
gance, and all her Calling guns, England
may have to endure one OF them from those
half naked Moslems.

LEGISLATIVE DEvorroNs.

In this favored land of ours are many Sen
atorisl bodies, but We doubt if even a trio of
them are blessed with presiding officers who
can worthily acquit themselves in the role
Ct chaplains. This is what was done, how
ever, by Lieutenant Governor Manson in
our Senate session of Thursday, when, in
in the absence of clergyman, he recited
from memory enc of Davids psalms. Of
Itself this was no Common achieve
ment in the legislative atmosphere, for
after the long reign Of Republicanism there
must be numerous lawmakers who would
be staggered even at the Lords Prayer But
when we add to this that the devotion thus
performed was both 6t and suggestive, and
that it wss marked alike by reverence and
impTesslveness, we have stated fact which
should be lesson even to the pious gentle
men who discharge the function profession
ally.
While We may not dare to pronounce upon
lofty questions orthodoxy, likeour neighbors
OF the News Journal combination, we venture
the modest suggestion that the customary
prisons in our Legislatures are not always what
they should be. Sometimes, indeed, they are
sadly inappropriate, and we have listened to
not few that were positively irreverent.
This observation is not intended for any in.
vocation made before either branch of our
present Legislature. We may presume, of
course, that the minister prays somewhat
according to his desires, and it is altogether
fitting thst be should ask for heavenly bless
ings on the Executive of the State, and its
other officers and people. 1t is not
even out of order that he should
pray q little specially for the presiding
oR6cer-LieutenaDt Governor or Speaker.
Nor can it be at al doubted that the more
eaectuslly he bssieges Heaven on behalf of
the bled law makers, the more satistac-
