1t is rumored that Senator Sherman il
thinking of resigning the Office of Presi-
dent pro tenn. since he has found cut that
his elevation does not entitIe him to draw
the Vice-President's salary. That addi-
tional three thousand per annum was an
inducsment. Now that he is being i'm
pressed with the fact that Logan's decli-
nation took all the Presidential wind out
of the Office as far as he is concerned, and
there is no enticement in the shape of in
creased salary, he thinks he can he more
useful and comfortable, if not more avail
bble as candidate, on the floor than as a
ilent figure head on the platform.

On Monday, says the Baltimore Sun, q
bill was reported from the Senate commit
tee on privileges and elections providing
for the performance of the duties of Pres
ident and Vice-President, in case of the
death, resignation or inability of both the
President and Vice-President. The bill
places members of the cabinet in the line
eff succession, and is substantially the same
as the one passed by the Senate last year,
point of difference being found in the
proposition to repeal certain sections of
the Revised Statutes which provide for
holding special election for President
The effect would be, of course, to continue
in Office till the next general election the
member of the cabinet placed in Office by
the other parts of the bill. It is MIR. Ed
munds desire to have his electoral count
bill joined with the presidential success
sion bill, and have both considered togeth-
er as one measure. No doubt such an ar
rangement would facilitate the passage of
an electoral count bill, but az Mr.. Ed
munds's bill contains some contentious
matter, discussion and opposition will
doubtless be excited by it.

Jay Gould is now the richest man in

grimly shake their heads when any men

While President Cleveland in his mes
sage unequivocally endorses tho idea of
civil service e!orm, as emb ,disd in the
present law regulating he utter, and
points out some OF the evils Of the spoils
system which he hopes will never be rein
stated, the President at the Same time
makes it distinctly understood that he
does not recognize the rs'ention in Off e
of the large number Of partisans now in
the civil service who obtained their places
by virtue of the worst features Of the spoils
system, as any part of true reform in that
department OF the public service. Upon
this point the message speaks as follows ::
Parties seem to be necessary, and will long
continue to exist; nor can it be now denied
that there are legitimate advantages, not dis
connected with off . hOldia., which follow
party supremacy. While parti.an.hip coaiin
nes bitter and pronounced, and supplies so
much Of motive 10 sentiment and action il 10
not fair to hold public officials, in charge of
important trusts, responsible for the best re-
sults in the psrfor nance Of their duties and get
insist that they shall rely, in confidential andim
portant places. upon the vorh Of those not only
opposed to them in political o65iiation, but so
STEPPED in partisan prejudice anfrancor that they
have no loyalty to their chiefs and no desr. for
their success. Civil service reform dos aot s1-
act this. nor does it require that those in subor-
dinate positions who fail in yielding their best
service, or who are incompetent, should be re-
tanned simply because they are in place. The
whiaing of q clerk discharged for i doence or
insonpetency, who. though he gained his place
by tho worst possible operations of tae spoils
system, suddenly discovers that be is entitled
to protection under the sanction Of CT vii service
reform, represents an idea no less absurd thar
the clamor of the applicant who claim, the va
cant position as his compsnsatioa for the most
questionable party work. The civil service
law does not prevent the discharge Of the in
dolent or incompetent clerk. but it does PEE
vent supplying his place with the unfit par
ty worker. Thus, in both these phases, is seen
benefit TO the public service.

The Cattle Trail.

The secretary of the interior has re-
ceived number of kilograms in regard
to the cattle trails through the Indian
Territory. Some from owners COM
planning that the trails are still obstruct-
ed, and others from stock growers, re-
questing that cattle be not forced
through until the judicial rights of the
parties to the controversy be had They
also request veterinary surgeon be
sent to the Indian Territory to examine
into the condition of the herds.
Secretary Lamar sent the following
message to Inspector Armstrong, at the
Cheyenne and Arapahoe agency in the
Indian Territory: ''The trail leading
from Fort Supply in a northerly direc-
ton to and into the neutral strip known
as the Camp Supply trail, must be open
ed for the passage of cattle forcibly
stopped, and for the purpose of inter
state commerce. You will confer with
General Sheridan, who has instructions
of even date herewith from the war de-
partment, as to the adoption of mea-
sures best calculated to etfectuale this
ORDER A telegram was also sent to
Towers and Lee, cattlemen at Kansas
City, detailing the instructions sent to
Inspector Armstrong, concluding as
follows: "You have a complete RENE
dy; no acts of lawlessness, such as have
been resorted to as the forcible and I'M
authorized detention of cattle, will be
tolerated.

Ford county has seven newspapers.
The latest venture is a second newspa-
per at Cimarron, the Herald, with Dem
.ocratic proclivities. The first newspa-
per published at [for] Cimarron was
printed in the TINES Office. The Gin
AKRON Pioneer, as it was named. was
half the size of the DODGE CITY TINES
at that time, and had an existence of
seven weeks. The proprietors of the
TINES contracted for the printing of
the Pioneer at stipulated price per
week. The ostensible publisher and
editor left the country without making
good the contract. We still hold lien
on Cimarrou enterprise for the non-pay-
ment of the first newspaper venture,
though perhaps the account is legally
outlawed. Cimarron was unable to give
much support to newspaper at that
time. We do not believe her prosperi-
ty demands two newspapers now. There
is an OVERRIDING in the newspaper bust
ness in the west, and Ford county is no
exception. In Meade county there are
four or five newspapers, each one rep
resenting some prospective and anxious
county seat. With wheelbarrow of type
and an old cheese press, it does not cost
much to start newspaper.

Killed by His Father for a Thief

From S. f. Watson we learn the par
ticulars of the sad killing of Arthur
Smith, boy 10 years old, by his faith
cr, W. S. Smith, near the rs ranch,
Monday night. 1t seems after the rain
had ceased Arthur got up and went out
doors without speaking to or waking the
balance of the family, very unusual
thing for him to do, aud in returning
had some difficulty In opening the door,
and made several attempts to open it,
which awoke his father, who, thinking
it was burglar, caught up his gun,
so caliber Sharp's rife, which was in
reach, and fred at the sound at the
door. The ball passed through the
door and struck the boy in the right
breast passing clear through him. The
poor boy screamed and the father realiz-
ed the terrible mistake he had made.
DR.. Parks went out early Tuesday to
see the little sufferer but could afferd
no relief, and he breathed his last be-
tween two aud three o'clock Tuesday

We are almost afraid of being laugh
cd at for saying it, but our demands of
journalists qualifications, briefly sum-
med up, are these: He should speak
and write with correctness the tongue
in which the type for his paper is set;
he should be the hardest worker in the
community, to the end that his paper
may compare, at least, with the average
book in neatness Of makeup and gen
eral grammatical purity. No paper of
this character is ever filled with stolen
thought. Laugh now, if you will. This
is the ideal newspaper goal.-Wa-keeny
