The Maxwell Preller case continues TO
be the leading sensation at st. Louis.
There seems to be q good deal Of doubt
that Maxwell, the alleged murderer. viii
be convicted. The case has certainly de-
veloped some peculiar features. Maxwell
shows very little concern, and insists that
he has revelations to make that will show
that he is innocent of having killed G. A.
Preller at the Southern hotel in st. Louis
last April.
A couple of weeks ago there was be-
lief that there might be a chance that the
body found in, the trunk at the hotel, and
recognized as that of Preller, might have
been that Of some one else. This belief
was strengthened by the assertion of a
man quite well known in Philadelphia,
who declared that he met Preller IN a
Philadelphia billiard room several weeks
after it is alleged he was murdered.
This Philadelphia story, however, has
been shown not to have any foundation.
The body Of the man who was buried as
G. A. Preller was taken from the grave a
day or two ago. 1t was found to be re-
hhdIhaDly well pIeserNeu. IL was luentl-
fled by several persons who knew Preller
very well. They pointed out scars which
they had seen on Preller's person during
his life time. The coffin was placed
against a tree in an upright position. and
the face OF the corpse being uncovered
several photographs of it were taken for
use at the approaching trial Of Maxwell.
The trial, winch will soon take place,
will, undoubtedly, be watched with very
great interest. 1t cannot fail to have
some very dramatic incidents.

The Americas cup, which the yachts
Genesta and Puritan have been trying TO
race about, is shaped very much like a
fancy molasses jug. Gen. Butler, the
owner of the America, which won the cup
in 1851, stiilthiuks she can beat the Ge-
nesta, and an old lake skipper at Chicago
contends that be can sail away from the
latter boat, and the Puritan also, in his

KANSAS VS.. VERMONT.
a Vermonter Who Was Certainly Not
Green.


Parties lately returned to Kansas City from
Maine and the seacoast, who attended the
Grand Army reunion, tell a good one OF Maj
Wiseman, Of Lawrence, whom every one in
the State knows to be good Kansas man
When his party was passing through YER
mont on their way to Portland, Maj. WIseman
was struck by the bare, meagre look OF the
farms, their smallness, and the outward
appearance OF poverty. he remarked
many times upon the stunted appearance
OF everything, and regarded the little hill
sloe or valley homes as the abodes of
nara living, for which pure air would hardly
compensate. His comparisons were always
Win Kansas farms, Kansas views, and Kan
sas wealth. When the train slowed up at q
lttle station for the engine to take water,
MAJ W lseman got up TO stretch his cramped
legs. and walking down the platform he met a
native" man whose looks did not bet0ken
Starvation, but whose general appearance in
Dictated close economy Our Major interro-
gated him with unusually patronlzing bland
ness:
MY friend, do you live HEREOF
DO you own a farm here?"
do you raise enough to eats" persisted the
Major.
'Oh, yes; we manage to get enough
Don't some of your people starve?" asked
our Kansas friend; II shouldn't think you raise
enough TO keep body and soul together. You
bushels of corn to the acre and sixty bushels
OF wheat! That is the place to live"
The native did not seem struck with
wonder, but quietly remarked, ''We manage
to get along"
do you make anything!" asked Kansas.
Yes have made enough in twenty years
to get mortgages on two large farms in Kan
sas," replied the VermOnter.
For moment Mai. Wiseman was staggered,
but standing by the grasshopper State, he
returned to the charge
NlRrrW Il

Our farmers throw away more than your
entire crops amount to-"
II believe you do" said the Vermonter. 'If
you didn't waste so much perhaps the in
terest on my mortgages would be paid more
promptly"
This settled the Major. He returned hastily
to the car. and during the remainder of the
ride through Vermont there was the same
look IN his eye that appeared at the time he
stubbed his toe, on which was a corn.

The Puritan and the Genesta have
sailed one OF the three races which they
are to sail for the Americas cup, and the
Puritan is the winner. The race sailed
yesterday was the second on the pro-
gramme, and was over the club
course. 1t was In smooth water.
The first and third races Of the pro-
gramme will be sailed under somewhat
different conditions than that OF yester-
day. The water may be rough, and If H.
is and the wind happens to be rather
light, the chances Of the Genesta for win
ming one or both Of the races, Judging
from what she did the other day In
rough water, will be somewhat better
than they were for winning yesterdays
race. If the wind is strong, however, or
if il is light with smooth water, there is
not much doubt that the Puritan will
win both races.

The September Crop Report

The crop report of the Georgia Depart
ment of Agriculture for September shows
a falling of IN the cotton crop Of points
from last month. The damage from cat
erpillar and rust has been very consider
able in the southern and middle part of
the State. The corn compromises a little
better than it did last msnth in some parts
of the State. The crop is reported to be
very good, however, throughout the State.
The reports relative to the rice crop
were received evidently before the crop
Suffered any damage from the late rains,
and they are, therefore, more encourage
! ing with respect to some localities than
they would be perhaps now.
The average of the reports respecting
sugar cane is high, and sweet potatoes
and Irish, particularly in North Georgia,
promise an abundant harvest. The re-
ports show that hog cholera prevails to
an alarming extent in some portions Of
the State. In North Georgia the number
Of stock hogs is larger this year than last.
II is less, however, in other parts OF the
State. As TO condition and size the aver
age for the whole State is high.

ANOTHER sLICE OF TURKEY.

The meeting of the Powers at Con
stantinople to consider the Turkish
Roumelian question will be somewhat
similar to the Pope's arbitration of the
Carolines affair That arbitration is to be
binding upon neither Of the disputants,
and the Powers, whose representatives
will meet at Constantinope, can dis
cuss matters, but decide nothing.
There is, in fact, no need for them
10 decide anything, as the whole mat
ter, except for some unexpected deyel-
upmcnt, is really settled. None of the
Powers are willing to help Turkey,
and Turkey cannot help herself. The
union of Bulgaria and Roumelia, di-
rectly under Prince Alexander but
with Russia's strong hand upon the
Two, is an established fact. Turkey
will have TO submit to losing a good
fat drumstck even without fight, for
she is in no condition to fight.
She has some very good iron-clads,
but nothing in the nature of an army,
except Il very meagre skeleton. 1t is
true that vast sums of money have been
appropriated for the maintenance and
building of an army contingent, but

WASHINGTON, D. G., OCT. 1, 1886
TIE owl SERVICE noAHn.

The opponents Of the civil service
law have succeeded in their efforts to
destroy its efficacy, to this extent They
have forced Mr.. Eaton and DR.. Gregory
TO resign az members of the commits
sion, while Judge Thoman' withdrawal
is only II question of fine, and probably
very short time. The attacks upon
these gentlemen were Of course de.
signed to bring the law into disrcputc,
though the ostcnsiblc argument of their
assailants was that the Commissioners
were in one way and another unfit to
hold their positions. It was no doubt
believed that the board, once being
vacated, there would be no haste ON
the part of the President to fill the va
cancies and that the law would gradu-
ally lapse into condition of dcad.let-
terhood.
But the maladroitncss of the abuse
10 which the Commissioners have been
subjected deccivcs nobody and will fail
of its intended effect A manly and
outspokcn war upon the civil.scrvicc
law and the system erected on it would
have commanded respect, but the round
about way in which the assault has
been made, so as to avoid, if possible,
stepping on the toes of the Admins
tration, will only result in u strength
ening of the Presidents purpose and II
new triumph for civil service reform
If there is one man in the country
who more than another is determined
that the Civil Service Law shall be per
petuated and perfected and made i'm
pregnable, it is Mr.. Cleveland; and it
cannot reasonably be doubted that in
the reorganization of the Commission
he will convince the country of the
sincerity of his declarations by select
ing as members of the Board men who
are not only in full sympathy with him
self, but with the courage to face ad-
verse criticism and accept even obloluy
without wincing.
The CRITIC does not fully subscribe
TO the process of reform marked out
by the statute, never took much stock
in the wisdom of competitive eXamina.
tions, and has no great faith in the
success of the Pendletonian plan foI
correcting abuses in the service; but
this is no reason why the law should
not be given its best possible test and
the President deserves credit for the
courage and consistency with which il
shall be enforced.
There may be some difficulty at tho
outset in finding men willing to accept
places out of which two honorable and
conscientious gentlemen have just
been driven, but the attitude of the
Chief Magistrate is such as to inspire
confidence, and when ii become,
clearly evident that the new Commits
sioners, of which it is not impossible
that DR.. Gregory may be retained as
one, are to be supported by the whole
strength of the Administration and
that such notifications of the rules
are to be made as experience may show
TO be desirable, there will be little
trouble in constituting the board anew

The sunday Opening Question.

One of the law officers of the Department
of Justice has unoillcially informed the
movers in the Sunday opening agitation
that there is already sufficient law to have
the Capitol, National Library, National
Museum, Naval Observatory and other
places of public interest here open Sundays
lie says as stated by the New York Hcrntps
correspondent, that application should be
made to the officials in charge of these
buildings for admission on Sunday. and
that If the application is refused
case can be made up so that
the Attorney-Genoral can give
his opinion on 1t. lie is satisfied that the
Attomcy-Goneral will hold that these places
should be kept open. All of the public
parks are kept open on Sunday the same as
other days, except the grounds connected
with the Botanical Garden. lie also says
the superintendent Of tine Botanical Garden
has no more right to close the gates on
Sunday than on any other day OF the week,
and that if he persists in refusing to open
the grounds on Sundaya writ of mandamns
should be applied for in the courts,
