A MISSIONARY FIELD.

1t is rather amusing to the unbeliever
to hear men who have been serving out
term OF imprisonment for violating the
laws of their country speak of their i'm
prisonment as a mission. But such was
the manner in which Farley p. Pratt and
James @. Watson spoke OF their imprison-
ment when addressing the congregation
at the Tabernacle last Sunday. These
two men had been convicted for violating
the law, and were sentenced to pay the
penalty for such violation. They
could easily have escaped the i'm
prisonment part OF the sentence had
they promised future obedience to the
law. But this they did not do, thereby
becoming self-elected missionaries. This
is rather new method OF calling mis-
sionaries, and as they are appointed by
the Court, it may very properly be said
that Chief Justice Zane is missionary
judge. The field for missionary work
seems very wonderful aud OF wide ex-
tent, and certainly it must be preferable
to those who are filled with missionary
afdor to labor in the Penitentiary to la
boring in the Congo country, or in China
and Central Asia. As we heard Il gem
tleman connected with one OF the Nor
mon Sunday schools remark some time
ago on similar case, Pratt and Watson
have been preaching to the spirits in

SpIlrned the Gold.

The world will be glad of the assurance
that there are some men in the humblest
walks of life who can't be bought with the
clnk of gold. A Hoosier who lost his
wife few weeks ago was waited upon
few days after the funeral by man
who introduced himself as the agent OF a
Cincinnati medical college, and he went
right to business by remarlsing:
"Mr: Blank, neither of us has any time
to fool away. Your wife is dead and
buried. want her body for the college.
l could snatch it any dark night, but
that's not my way. How much cash will
buy the cadaver?"
"Dig her up at your own expense?"
"Yes."
GLOW much'll you give? ?"
Fifteen dollars"
"And the coffin ?"
"Oh, that's no use to me-"
Stranger" said the widower, "you
skip or I'll shoot If you think I'm fool
enough to throw away a forty-dollar coffin
in these hard times you haven't sized me
up k'rect Let the old woman stay thar.
She isn't costin' anything for board and
lodgings, and there amt a penny out for
repairs"

In WILL be rare entertainment when
Sarah Althea Hill appears before the
theatre-going public in her new drama.
This new drama is to be the ''true story
OF her life" and her relations to Senator
Sharon. She possesses one OF the chief
essentials TO successful theatrical
career-she knows how to advertise. In
this respect she is already the rival of
Emma Nevada. The Sarahs have been
great successes as actresses. There was
Sarah OF old, there's Sarah Bernhardt,
and now comes Sarah Althea Hill. Won

COMMISSIONER THOMAN.

Civil Service Commissioner Thoman
has resigned, and his resignation has been
accepted, TO take effect in November.
His letter of resignation is full of hope
and assurance for the success of the most
important reform this country has to con-
slider at the present time. In times past
one party has been as much permeated
with the spoils doctrine as the other, and
to-day We believe that the masses of
either party are in favor OF an extension
of the theories OF Civil Service reform.
One great trouble with the successful in
PRODUCTION OF any radical reform is that
any reform has to encounter the organ
lied hostility of primaries and conven-
tions. And this remark applies as well
to religious and social reforms rs to polit-
ical reforms.
Judge Thoman says that if the vicious
elements still seek obtrusion into cleo
tons, the chances OF their success have
been lessened. To have accomplished
this is to have have accomplished much.
Politics TO very large extent have become
a trade, and like all trades, money had
become its motive power, and the system
OF merit, which was introduced by the
Pendleton bill, would naturally tend to de-
crease the influence OF money upon public
offices. To say that the selection of sub
ordinate officers upon the principle Of
merit as determined by the COMPETE
tive system was to establish caste,
was but idle and empty talk. Neither
could such a system deprive any man of
his citizens rights because the new rules
forbid him to spend the greater part of
his time in caucuses and the promotion of
party success. The old system of testing
a mans fitness for particular position by
the amount of political work he did had
far more Of favoritism in ii than the pre-
sent system,
Judge Thoman spent a week in our city

THE Conservatives in England are be-
ginning a very successful career. They
claim the honor OF having settled the Af-
CHAN boundary question; they are going
to settle the Irish question and pacify Ire
land; and Lord Churchill talks about an
nexing Burmah, and this has aroused the
indignation Of Paris, and already there is
talk of war with England should such an
nexation take place. Surely the Conser-
vatives will restore England's prestige.
