THE POWER OF THE 'WUMPS.
Civil-Service Commissioners to Investi-
gate Grandfather Jones.
Judge Thoman and Chief Examiner Lyman
Sent to indianapolis by the President
to Make Inquiries.

The plant of the 'wump has been heard. The
information that President Cleveland has or
dered Judge Thoman and Chief Examiner Ly-
man, of the Civil-service Commission, to proceed
at once to indianapolis and make an official in
vestigation of the charges preferred by the local
mugwumps against Grandfather Jones, will
occasion widespread surprise among the Democ-
racy. 1t at least indicates that the President
has recognized the necessity for paying some
attention to the alleged infraction of civilservce
rules, and the fact that the individuals detailed
70 make the official investigation are of no less
prominence and Importance than Judge Thoman
and the chief examiner of the commission,
will attract the attention of the general public to
the progress and result of their inquiries. The
Journals Washington correspondent telegraphed
this paper last night as follows:
Judge Thoman and Chief Examiner Lyman,
of the Civil-service Commission have gone
to indianapolis to investigate the charges
of offensive partisanship' filed against
Postmaster Jones. The Journal correspon
dent called at the headquarters of the
Civil-service Commission this afternoon, but was
refused any information on the subject, further
than the fact above stated. In official circles a
good deal of stress is put upon the mission. At
the Postofice Department it was remarked that
the President would not ask detail of such men
to inquire into the charges unless he considered
them very serious, and anticipated a report
against the accused. It is now be iieved Jones
will be removed, and that the Presidents intent
is to be we'll fortified in the step he is about
taking"

In buying piano or organ many persons
have the idea that they must pay all cash.
There are thousands of families who have an
income of fifty to one hundred dollars per
month who can easily spare from five to ten
dollars of it and scarcely miss it. To all such
we would say, do not wait to lay up enough
to pay for an instrument before buying, but
see or write US at once for our terms No
matter if you cannot pay but five dollars a
month towards an organ, or only ten dollars
towards piano, let us hear from you without
delay, and we will satisfy you that we are CIV
ing easier terms than any music house in the
United States. We furnish hundreds of
homes every year with pianos and organs,
and take our pay in small installments each
month or quarter. Were the purchasers
obliged to pay the full price of the instru-
ment in cash they would not buy one All
letters of inquiry cheerfully answered We
have men for that purpose alone, so do not
hesitate to write and tell US just how you can
afford to buy. d. III. BALDWIN & CO.,

SLOVENLY FARMER.

King Solomon who is regarded as
the wisest observer of men and things,
has left on record his disgust at the
sight of a slovenly farmer. Il went"
he says, 'by the field of the slothful-
and 10, it was all grown over with
thorns, and nettles had covered the
face thereof, and the stonewall was
all broken down." Were the old man
to travel nowadays, he would often
see the possessions of the same sloth-
full family, who have inherited the
laziness of their ancestors. Inquire
for them, and it will be found that
they are down at the depot or sup
at the store" or gone to the post
Office" Meanwhile, their estates are
going to rack and ruin, and they will
soon find poverty come as an unarm-
ed man." Yet there are farmers who
need not be ashamed of their farms,
their buildings, the implements and
their stock, even should Solomon him
self pass by.

The doctors decided that it was there to stay
as long as life continued, and for many years
it did remain. In March, 1884, at the sugges-
'tianof Colonel John Taylor l was induced to
try Swift's Specific. My system responded
to the medicine promptly, and l began to i'm

from the Public Schools of Eaton in 1873, and
at an early age evinced a passionate love for
music. Perhaps the happiest hours of her
life were those devoted to it. Her music not

a source of delight in the Lme circle.
Marsh 10th, 1879, she United with the Pres
byterian Church, anG/ has been a consistent

served in that capacity until her recent illness.
She was very fond of her bible, and spent
many hours reading it; never emitting to read
a chapter before retiring.
She lived twenty-four short years, and has
entered into that rest which the Savior has
prepared for those who love and serve Him.
