and purpose of the reform should be
observed In all executive appointments,
and all laws at varience with the objects
of existing reform legislation should be
repealed, to the end that the danger to
free institutions which turks in the power
of official patronage may be wisely ard
effectively avoided.
The truth is, and it is in vain for the
Times to deny 1t, that civil service reform,
so called, is an invention of the republi-
can party in order to retain possession Of
the one hundred thousand offices which
they now hold under the general govern
ment, and, as such, that it was made by
them prominent issue in the late elec-
sion, while, so far as the democratic cam
vass was concerned, it was rarely and
only incidently referred to, the battle cry
being Turn the rascals outP
Indeed, had civil service reform of the
Eatonian type, as expounded by the
Times, been made leading issue in the
democratic canvass of last year, Mr.
Cleveland, instead of succeeding by {
plurality of 1000 and in a minority o.
$4,000 in this state, would have been de
feated by a majority of 250, 900, and by {
majority of not less than 100000 il
the country at large.

AMMONIATED BREAD.

Ammoniated baking powders-that is,
baking powders in which carbonate OF
ammonia is used as an ingredient, and
which exhale an odor of ammonia when
heated-are classed by many eminent
physicians and sanitarians as superior to
all others. Professor Hassell, of London
who is recognized as highest authority on
the subject of food hygiene, commends in
the strongest terms the use of carbonate
of ammonia as leavening agent, stating
its great advantage to be in its perfect
volatility, which permits it to be, by the
heat of baking, entirely thrown into leav
ening gas whereby the bread is raised
The experiment with heat would seem
to indicate the superior, not the inferior
value of such baking powder. The little
heat that is impaired to it when held ovel
gas jet, lamp, or stove, suffices to re-
solve the carbonate of ammonia into
leavering gas and throw it off. The frs
heat CT baking, therefore, will effectually
develop all the gas, thoroughly leaven the
loaf, and dissipate the gas producing in
gradients of powder of this kind ana
this is the highest test of a perfect baking
powder. Where other alkalies alone art
used they are not infrequently retained
unresolved, through the whole process o
baking, and remain an unwholesame in
gredient in the finished bread. The car
Donate of ammonia cannot be used as 6
substitute for cream of tartar.-N. Y.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 2. 2.-George p
Burkhart, formerly of Chicago, shot and
killed his wife Tuesday evening, and then
shot himself, but not fatally. Burkhart had
been jealous Of the attentions paid his wife
by private soldier named Stevenson, and
for time was separated from her on that
account Recently they became recon-
ciled, and about week ago sold a
portion of their furniture in order to enable
Mrs. Burkhart to spend the Easter holidays
at the home of her parents, in Eigin, Ills. She
was to have left Saturday, but delayed her
departure, alleging one excuse and another.
Friday Burkhart was informed that she
had not broken off her intimacy
with Stevenson, as she had agreed,
and that she was delaying her trip because
her paramour had promised her $50, with
which she was to defray the expenses of
quietly obtaining divorce in Chicago while
visiting Illinois. On coming into possession
Of these facts Burkhart went at once to the
residence of Joseph Dunbar, where his
wife was spending the afternoon, called
her out into the yard and shot her twice. As
she fell to the ground Burkhart knelt and
kissed her repeatedly. Then he said: "Dora,
I'll die with you" and put the pistol to his
own head. The dying woman grasped his
arm as the weapon exploded, and the
bullet entered Burkharts mouth, inflict
ing an ugly wound. The wife died
within a few minutes, and the husband re-
manned beside the corpse until it was re-
moved to the hospital The couple were
married in Chicago four years ago. The
husband is 81 years old and the wife 80
They had no children.

OSMAN'S LITTLE GAME.
He Tries a stin Hunt on the Brir

He Tries Still Hunt on the British.
SUAKIM, April 2.-The detachment of cav.
airy sent out by Gen. Graham to ascertain
whether there was any truth in the reported
evacuation of Tamai by Osman Digma and
his followers has returned to Gen. McNeiirs
zereba. The commander Of the detach-
ment states that it is evident from
his observations that Osman Is play
ing a deep game, and has circulated
the reports of his withdrawal with view to
throwing the English off their guard. He
states that he made thorough reconnois-
sance of the place and its surroundings. AT
times he narrowly escaped falling into the
hands Of the rebels, SO close did he get to
the city. At first sight the place appeared
deserted, but closer inspection brought to
view hordes of Arabs encamped back OF the
place and on the adjoining hills. The Of
ficer further stated that signs were
not lacking to justify the belief that Osman
intends to make determined stand, and
that desperate fighting may be expected be-
fore he is driven from that stronghold.
Gen. Graham, on receiving the informa
tion, gave orders for immediate prepara
tions for an advance in force. The advance
will be commenced from the zereba now held
by Gen. McNeill Work on the railroad in
course of construction from Suakim tc
Berber has been stopped, the close proximity
of the rebels making farther work haz
ardous.
MONTREAL, April at is stated by a.gov
ernment official, who came here from OF
tawa, that a cable message from Lore
Wolseley had been received by Lord Lans
downe, asking if he could get one or two

The Fall river and other linen works arc

viii Uncle Sam Become involved ?

WASHINGTON Cry, April ait is said
with reference to the probability of France
ordering an absolute blockade of Chimes
ports, that the principal Chinese commercial
steamship lines have been purchased by al
American syndicate, which is com
posed of capitalists in Boston, New
York, and San Francisco. Presiden
Arthur recently callel attention t
this fact in his message. The ships owned by
this syndicate, in spite of our navi ioI
laws, fly the American flag. In reality thel
have no right to sail under American colors
and are not entitled to the protection of th'
United States; but if any of these snip
should be seized by French man-of-wa
complications would ensue between tn
United States an1 France. This Nigh
prove to be serious matter.

But the British Go on Grinding Their

LONDON, April 2. 1t is officially announced
that Russia has accepted Earl Granville's
proposition, and this has put an end to the
war furry.
Another dispatch says: Russia's reply to
Lord Granville's note of the 26th instant was
received at London Tuesday night. This
is twenty-four hours later than the limit set
for reply by Lord Granville, but is exactly
on tirls according to the promise made by
M. de Giers in his dispatch acknowl-
edging receipt of tae note. In
this case, as in several others, Russia
has compelled England to await her con-
venienee, and England has meekly waited.
1t is understood that the reply agrees TO
nothing except the proposal to leave the
positions of the respective troops unchanged,
and to set the international boundary COM

De Giers accepts Earl Granville's sug-

THE TRUTH OF HISTORY,

The New York Times manifestly places
either an extremely low estimate on the
intelligence of its readers or a very high
estimate on their credullty. The de-
mocracy," says the journal, ''has been
seeking the presidency for the sake of the
spoils ever since the war. It has failed
every time" Now, leaving out of view
the scurrilIty of this averment, every
schoolboy knows that eight years ago the
democratic party elected Samuel j. Til
den to the presidency by majority of
nineteen in the electoral college and by
an immense majority of the popular vote
