TO REFORM THE sERVICE.
Il Coming Upheaval in the Treasury De-
psrtment.


WASHINGTON, April 24.-The warning
notes of a great upheayal in the Treasury
Department are heard. Ever since Secre-
tary Manning's return from New York it
has been observed that the driving out and
recognizing processes have seemed to be
more imminent. The word has passed
that the Republican chiefs-the head men
and holders of soft places-are to go. In
deed, the thing has oozed out, and is pub
lie property. Secretary Manning discoy-
cred that party sentiment at home did not
approve the extreme delberatiOn with
which the Democratic government was
being manned by Democrats. He found
the people growing impatient over the de-
lay in the harvest which they had 50
hardly won and felt themselves legally
entitled to ENJOY.
A prominent Congressman said to-day
81 agree with Senator ingalls, in his scorn
for all this elegant humbug. The party
that wins at the polls ought to equip the
government. That Is what the country
expects; that is what the people elected
them for. Let us be Judged on our merits.
If we say the Democracy cannot furnish
executive men, managers of bureaus and
all that, we must admit incompetency.
Away with such nonsense. We have
carried this country fairly and squarely
Let us put our own men in the govern
ment as best we can. If we fail, well and
good. but let us at least show confidence
in ourselves; not dodge the issue by hold
ing the shadow and giving away the sub
stance"
And this is what Secretary Manning
seems to be preparing to do. 1t is in the
very air.
Ex-Gov. Porter. of Tennessee il on tho
same track. He entertains Just the senti-
ments above mentioned. He is throwing
in his sickle among the crowds every dav.
He believes that the Democracy should
represent the government abroad as well
as at home, and he has the courage of his
conviction. The people will hear from

BRUNsWICK's BUDGET.
Memorial DaY-Thrown from a Train
Sale of a Well Omit.

BRUNSWICK, GA, April 27.-The exor-
cises Of Memorial day were appropriately
observed here on Sunday afternoon. An
immense cOncourse assembled in Hano-
yer park. Arranged around the stand
were the Brunswick Rifemen, a corps
which won honor and fame on every
battlefield OF Virginia, and outside of
these were thousands of citizens of all
natiOnalities, while in front were seated
the officers and members of the Ladies'
Memorial Association. Col. J. b. Bing-
ham presided, and opened the meeting
with a few pertinent remarks. Rev. DR..
Frank Johnson, OF the Baptist church,
made an impressive prayer, invoking the
blessings of heaven on this re-
united country. Hon. j. +. Dart de-
livered an able and eloquent address.
Afterwards the procession was formed and
graves of all soldiers were strewn with
flowers. There was never such an impOs-
ing procession on Memorial day here be-
fore.
John 3. Dart was thrown from the
Brunswick and Western railroad train
while in motion at WaycrOss on Sunday
night, and was seriously bruised and so
injured on the right knee that he will not
be able to walk for months. He was
thrown off the train while looking out TO
see if the switchman had fixed the switch
so the tram could move onward safely.
The arteslan well outfit Of the Manhat-
tan company was sold here at public auc-
ton today for the benefit of the authOri-
ties of Americas, and was bought by Mr..
Kallar, of Darien, for $465.

Crime-On the Battle Field when
Baby.
CHICAGO, April 25.-During the past
winter there have occurred a number of
audacious burglaries, to the perpetrator
Of which the police could get no clue.
Three weeks ago a detective happened to
glance in at the window of a paWnshop
and saw Henry Heating pawning a pair
of opera glasses. The detective noticed
him sneaking towards the rear door and
gave chase and captured him. Several
pawn tickets We're found on his person.
The goods were all recovered and identi-
fed as the stolen property in many of the
mysterious cases reported. To-day
Heating was held to the Criminal Court
in bonds Of $26, 800 to answer twenty
charges of burglary. He told an interest
ING story. HIS father served under Gen.
Grant in the Fifty-seyenth Illinois VOlun-
teers. His mother carried him, an in
FAINT, in her arms into the heart of the Mis-
Sissippi river campaign. AT the battle of
Shiloh both were killed, father andmother.
He was rescued from among the dead
and dying by Union soldiers and sent TO
the North. Educated in the streets, lie
had worked at nearly all the trades, and
finally became property man for a travel
ing theatre company. Two years ago he
married happily and a child was born to
him. Last TALL he had saved s 800. He
bet 5000 that Carter Harrison would be

LANCASTER, PA, April 25.-The chase
after the Buzzard gang of thieves, who
have infested the Welsh mountains for
many years, has developed many in
teresting stories Of mountain life. A
farmer who tills piece Of ground on the
mountain side missed mis- two daughters
one night last week, and search about
the farm failed to show any trace of
them. They were innocent and very
respectable girls, but remarkably well
developed for their age. The parents,
knowing that they were much sought
alter by the young men of
neighboring farm houses. supposed
the girls were there, but when
it was learned that they had been seen
gong up the mountain IN the afternoon
the family became greatly alarmed. Mid
night came, but the girls did not return,
and the mother then remembered having
heard them say something about dance
on the mountain top. Knowing that the
only habitatiOn there was the house occu-
pied by the thieves, she started alone 10
the mountain side, unarmed and with
only lantern to pick her way along the
dangerous path. The morning light was
breaking on the horizon when she reached
the robbers den, about which 50 many
romantic stories have been written. There
sat her daughters and there sat Abe Buzz
zard, the leader Of the gang, with his rifle
at his side. The girls had been dancing
all night with the outlaws.

BARRIos AND zALDIvAR.

ing the following statement of a Hondu-
ras officer who was on mission to the
Guatemalan headquarters when Bsrrios

"union decree" he was certain Of the al
legIance of Salvador and Honduras. When
Barrios issued the decree Zaldivar sent
him dispatch which gave his concur
renee in the decree. Zaldivar discovered
that the weather portion of his fellow
citizens were bitter against the movement.
he then began 70 think about retracing his
steps and prepared for war. He enlisted the
sympathieS of Mexico and entered into
an alliance with Nicaragua and Costa
Rica. Meanwhile he burdened the wires
with messages TO BarriOs. While pre-
pairing to join forces BarriOs received the
menacing telegram from the Mexican
President. Those who were with him no.
ticed that he seemed bewildered. He
crushed the telegram and wrote a dis
patch TO Zaldivar. At last ZaldIvar's an.
swer came. 1t breathed defiance and
hatred. Barrios held the dispatch mo-
ment in his hand, then threw it on the
floor, stamped upon it and said Gentle

has entered into an alliance with Mexico,
ton has complicated the problem. must
have time to deliberate with myself what
to do. Please leave me for a few min
utes." BarriOs then remained for two
hours closeted with Barrundia, the Min
ter OF War.
