An Extraordinary Electrical Phenom.
enOn at Sea.

The bark lnnerwicll, which recently
arrived at Victoria, B. c., from Yoko-
hama, reports an extraordinary phen-
omenon in the North Pacific. On the
morning of the oath ult., with south.
easterly gale blowing out of the trade
wind belt, a fiery mass appeared over
the vessel and fell into the sea with a
kissing noise, the sky having previous
y assumed a strange redness. Though
no explanation of the phenomenon is
offered by the master of the Innerwick,
we may possibly infer that the fiery
meteor was globular lightning. Some
physicists have denied the possibility of
its existence, but since Arago reported
instances of the kind many years ago
able observers have confirmed his rec
ords of ball lightning. DR.. Tripe, an
English meteorologist, observed, on
July Ii, 1874, a large ball of lightning,
which at first had a very slow motion,
and two years latter Mr.. Fitzgerald, an
Irish observer, noticed, in the Glen
dowan Mountains, distinct "globe of
fire floating leisurely along, aud after
passing the crown or the ridge it grad
ually descended into the valley, where
it drifted along the earth for some min
utes, finally burying itself in a peat
bank snd exploding with terrific force" 7"
The latter meteor, it was reported,
travelled leisurely over q mile after its
first appearance, consuming about
twenty minutes. In one case, cited by
Arago, the fiery mass appeared like the
moon enlarged, and when its envelope
burst with terrible explosion there
darted from it ten or twelve zigzag
lightnings. The sheet of flame which,
after the descent of the fireball, ran
down the Innerwick's mizzenmast
Illuminating the rigging, was, no doubt,
a "corposant," or st. Elmo's fire-an
electrical display distinct from light
ming and quite harmless. If the ex-
planation which we suggest of the phe-
nomenon observed on board the Inner
wick proves to be correct the record
now published by her captain will be
highly priced by students of atmos-
pheric electricity. Y. Herald.

NOTWITHSTANDING the many theo-
ries about civil reform that stubborn
fact remains that the party or man who
wins in apolitical fight will distribute
the fruits of victory among his friends.
Nine men out of ten would regard any
other policy as foolish. The Democrats
have won great victory, and now that
they desire to enjoy the fruits of victory
is not surprising. To leave the enemy
in the Notifications would be to invite

The President and Civil Service Re
form.
Editorial in cleecland plnin Dealer. !

H-uitoEAhA III Nltftidnu flhlu DeAlcr.l
President Cleveland does not take
many words TO express his views in re-
gard to civil service reform, but what he
does use are sufficient To make his
meaning clear.
'The people," says the President,
"demand reform in the administration
of the government and the application
of business principles to public affairs. I"
This is the keynote of the Presidents
policy. Affairs of the government must
be considered as affairs of business and
treated accordingly. The same meth
Ods of close attention, diligence, hon
esty and efficiency that would be re-
quired in any business enterprise, must
be applied to the affairs of government.
office Is nota reward for party service,
matter of favoritism, a refuge for po-
litical heelers, but a public trust, and
the men who fill Office must be chosen
because Of their fitness and their ability
to perform the duties i'm accordance
with this policy. To this end it is the
Opinion of the President that this civil
service reform should be in good faith
enforced
But the President does not rest upon
this glittering generality. He goes on
to say that the citizens "have the right
to protection from the incompetency Ok
public employees who hold their places
solely as the reward of partisan service,
and from the corruption of those who
promise and the vicious methods of
those who expect such rewards, and
those who wOrthily seek public employ
ment have thought and insist that
merit and competency shall be recog-
nized instead of party subserviency."
There is no mistaking this declara-
ton. President Cleveland simply
means that those who hold office under
him, shall have some other recommen-
dation than that they shouted for the
party. They will only hold office who
are fit to hold Office, and not because of
persistent importantly.
This does not mean that the offices
shall be given to the Republicans, or
that those now in Office shall stay. AS
most of the latter hold office merely as
the reward Ofparty service, or because of
political influence back of them, they
will fall before the test that President
Cleveland sets up. A reformed civil
service, as the President points out, will
require the removal of these incompe-
tent officials and offensive partisans.
The President simply serves notice that
in filling these places merit and compe-
tency shall be the first requirements
and in the absence of these, partizan
zeal and partisan influence will be of nc
avail,

OKLAHOMA.
The Land where the Boomer Ranges.


Louisville courier-JournAl.l
The governments control over that
portion of the Indian territory widely
known as the "0klahoma country
was acquired through treaties with the
Creek and Seminole Indians, entered
into in the year 1866; later the govern
ment entered into treaty with the
Cherokees for section of the adjoining
country, known since IA the strip or
Outlet The third article of the
treaty with the Creeks provides that
Sin compliance with the desire Of the
United States to locate other Indians
and freedmen thereon, the Creeks here
by eede and convey To the United States,
to be sold and used for homes for such
other civilized Indians as the United
States may choose to settle thereon, the
west half of their entire domain, to be
divided by a line running north and
SOUTH" etc. .rs
The treaty with the Seminoles em-
powers the government to settle friend
ly Indians and freedmen on the land
acquired from them, and the Cherokee
treaty provides that the government
may settle friendly Indians on any part
of the Cherokee country west of 90. The
government cherished the ambitious
purposes at this time of settling all of
the Indian tribes within the boundar-
les of the Indian Territory, and of PEN
ming them up there, with Gordon of
forts built along the Kansas and Texas
borders. 1t was believed that by cor
railing the tribes in this way, and put
ting strong guards over them, an ad-
vanced step would be taken in the solu-
ton of the whole embarrassing Indian
question.

Building Boom in Napoleon


While the prospect for the erection
OF large number of buildings IN Ma
poleon during the spring and summer
of 1885 is not quite so flattering as 1t
might be, or as other seasons have
been, there will be more than the usual
number decorated outside and inside
and additions built, and large and ex-
tensive improvements made on those
which have been in the course OF con-
struction. That good times are near
at hand, and better still coming, Is
evidenced, not only by the prepara.
tions for extensive improvements In
and around Napoleon, bu: throughout
the country everywhere. Saur has
already made all the necessary ar
rangements and purchases of the dlf-
ferent kinds of materials for the spring
trade, which will be largely in demand
at prices which cannot fail to attract
the attention of all close buyers. The
outside decorations which, within the
last few years have become SO very
popular and fashionable, and can only
be made with good paint, can always
be found nice and fresh in all shades
and colors, and in any quantity to suit
purchasers at Saur's Drug and Paint
Store at lower prices than have ever
been known on some quality of goods.
Even old buildings which are almost
ready to tumble down, c@n, with a fe"
dollars worth of these colored paints
be made to look nice and good as new.
For the inside decorations within the
last five or six years paper has largely
taken the place of paint for several
reasons; the two principle of which are,
first, that 1t is very much cheaper, and
consequently can be changed oftener;
and second, that it can be made to look
more rich and beautiful, and 1t needs
no special artist from Paris or London
to apply It, Great improvements are
constantly being made in these paper
