Perhaps those Republican papers which
deny that Mr.. Cleveland wrote the recent
letter on the civil service which appeared
over his signature will tell us who did write
it, Mr.. Blaine is the only IitterdteUr in this
country known to have a penchant for writ
ing letters for other men to sign, but it will at
once be admitted that it would have been a
simple impOssiblity for Mr.. Blaine to have
written the Cleveland civil service letter.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Rosa and Assassination

We do not wish to be hastY in assuming that
Rosa and his associates are really bent on
assassination, and that they do not hesitate to
follow atrociOus threats with still more afro
cI0us deeds. But their language, again and
again repeated, justifes the worst suspicious,
and there is too much in this matter for the
police to neglect or try to sheer it down.

1t is said that the MasOns Of the District
Of Columbia are very much hurt because
the commission on the Washington monu-

dedication without including them in any
way. When the corner stone was laid II
was under Masonic auspices, and last
summer the MasOns of the District began
making preparations for a grand cele-
bration Of the dedication, with large
number Of guests from abroad. The
notice that no Masonic ceremonials will
be allowed in connection with the COM
pIetion Of the work, has, therefore, stirred
up a good deal Of feeling. Gen. Washing
ton was an enthusiastic Mason, and it
seems that this snubbihg OF the mystic
brotherhood is not appreciated.
