their positions, and the consequent inability
to make arrangements for even the immediate
future. This condition of things is source
of merriment to Democratic brethren of the
Higgins type, of which the list is long. To
any member Of the party capable of feeling
shame the situation will hardly appear in a
ludicrous light. The doubt that the admins
tration will adhere to the civil-service law is
at the bottom of the distrust, ii course, the
frequent assertion that it is being sustained
having little weight against the many proofs
that it is constantly broken. If The order
were made in honest agreement with private
sentiment and open practice that Republicans
must go, the minds of the government en-
ployes would be less disturbed than at present.

Don PIATT, in one of his recent sketches,
grows mildly sarcastic On noisy children and
wildly "agley7 on noted anecdotes
every Fourth of July gives me a realizing
appreciation of Lambs humor to be found in
the question he propounded for debating
society, to-wit: Was Herod as bad a character
as history representsP"
Lamb was much annoyed by the intrusion and
uproar of some unruly children at a house where
he and others were guests. After dinner he
proposed toast ''to the health of the much
abused good KING Herod." Like all the best
things in the worlds wit this is better in its
place than anywhere else In the miserable
misft of Piatts anecdote it is not witty or
humorous, or anything but unintelligbe with

RELATIVE to the Presidents exclamation
that he would ''be boiled in hi first" the
New York Sun says: Gwen if Mr.. Cleveland
made use of such remark, it wasn't swear
ing. twas merely vigorous and picturesque
equivalent to saying that he would not remove
officers without cause at any time whatsoever"
Just such vigorous and picturesque language
is the language of the pothouse, and no
amount of CLOSING over will make it respecta-
BILE. IF Mr.. Cleveland is addicted to such
language he should hasten to eschew it, at
least while occupying the exalted Office he
does. His influence for good or evil is vastly
greater than when he was an obscure lawyer
in Buffalo He should have respect to his
position if not to himself.

THE conviction Of the scoundrelly Tim
Mccarthy, the New York ravisher following
that of Sergeant Crowley, gives ground for
the belief that the days Of licensed scoundrel-
ism are of the past in that city. In each
instance the accused were influential in their
way, while the victims Of their lust were
practically defenseless. Every case Of the
kind should be prosecuted to the bitter end
and, if possible, a stop put to the infamous
crime of which they were guilty confident in
the belief that they would not be prosecuted,
or, if prosecuted, that they would escape
conviction. -

The First Comet of the Year.

ROCHESTER,, n: Y, July 9-Professor Lewis
received information that Professor Barnard of
the Vanderbilt University observatory. at Nash,
vile, Tenn discovered, or the evening OF July 7,
a pretty but very faint comet. Its position was
south. 4h SIM. S.. This morning At ? O'clock
Professor Swift received another telegram from
him, giving its daily motion as 35m southwest.
With the great telescope of the Warner
observatory Professor Swift observed, last even
ing, that the surface of the comet was sprinkled
over with very minute bright points like a
resolved nebulB. This discovery will clearly
entitle the discoverer to the Warner prize of
$500 for the first discovery of new comet during

THE Knights of Pythias' proposition to
erect fine business block and lodge hall
seems to have gone the way of the union
depot enterprise Yet a better time to build
will probably never be had. Labor and ma
terial are at bottom prices. The dismal FIVE

disgrace upon the city, an Inconvenience to
all concerned, while the breach of the contract
with the public by the railway managers is
simply scandalous and indefensible Builders

is a first class time to build.

lT is hoped by the authorities of Spanish
towns that the $4,000 wealthy people who
have fled from Spain for fear of cholera
can be reached and their subscriptions OBJ
tanned for the relief of the poor who are left
behind. These hopes may not be disappointed,
bat there is sad probability that the be-
nevolently disposed citizens either stayed at
home or made their charitable contributions
before leaving. The man who runs from
danger of any sort is not apt to be liberal,

q
The mugwumps failed to prevent his appoint
ment and now that he is a nuisance they can
not see why he is retained Bhey cannot
understand that Mr.. Higgins represents very
important Democratic element in every city in
the land-the men who manipulate ballot boxes
and who sway a large body of Democratic voters
through the dramshop He, and the element he
represents, is vastly more important to the
Democratic party than the Inugwump elem ent
As large section of the Democratic party the
Higginses cannot be ignored The mugwump
ought to recognize this fact, and not seek to
embarrass the administration by telling it that
Mr.. Higgins is making it ridiculous and urging
his dismissal Mr. Higgins is doubtless q very
improper person, but beyond doubt he has been
of immense service to the Democratic party.
The mugwumps should recognize this aud cease
making him an issue. Besides, Mr. Higgins is
as good man as many others who have been
selected for Office.

IN these sultry days, when the usual con
solutions of life fail, there is satisfaction to be
obtained from recounting negative blessings,
and contrasting them with the miseries Of
others. This, for instance, is an off year in
politics for Indiana, while in Pennsylvania a
heated campaign, with all that the term i'm
plies, is fairly under way. From Georgia
comes the announcement that summer SEES
sion of the Legislature has begun, while here
such visitation is confined to winter months,
when it is easier to be borne. AS a summer
resort, indianapolis has its advantages.

A REMARKABLE church fight is in progress in
Milton, county, Georgia. Since several cyclones
have swept that portion Of the State
certain church members have constructed cy-
clone pits, to which they expect to rush when
storms impend. This was considered by a
majority of the church as fragrant violation of
their doctrines and temptation to God to wipe
them off the face of the earth. AS the pit
diggers were more fearful of cyclones than of
the wrath of the majority, they have been
turned out of the church They Immediately
organized themselves into church under the
name of Cyclode Prmitives, and the old church

THE Charleston News and Courier has
reached the conclusion that the system in
vogue in the South of paying negro laborers
with "store orders, and having settlements Of
advantageous, both to employers and employed.
When the day of reckoning comes the ba nee
coming to the laborer is usually very small, if
he is not actually in debt. This is partly due
to the natural tendency of the credit system
to increase exenses partly to the improvident
nature Of the exslaves, but largely, also, to
the ease which which these ignorant, simple
minded people can be led into extravagant ex-
penditures by greedy dealers in supplies, and
the extraordinary facilities offered for exact
ing exorbitant prices for the necessities Of life
The stores on which the orders are given are
not infrequently owned by the planters them
selves, and thus the 'profts" of the negro
trade goes directly into the employers pockets.
AT one time this method of overreaching, not
to say swindling, these helpless employees was
looked upon by the men who begru6ged them
wages at all as being rather shrewd way Of
tightening unwelcome obligations. The dis
covery is at last made, however, that this
scheme does not work as admirably as was once
thought 1t is now realized that the growing
unwillingness to work and the disposition to
shirk on the part of the negroes so much com
planned of is direct result of the credit sys-
tenn. 1t is suggested that by paying them
their wages in cash, either monthly or weekly,
the farmer himself will be benefited by Sc
curing better service, and the workman be en-
couraged to labor steadily throughout the year.
The News and Courier having opened its eyes,
goes further than this and, with true public
spirit. urges that the colored people should be
educated in the ways and manners Of honest

For what kind of constituency does the
Chicago Times write when it says: 'The
treasury of Mexico is said to be empty, and it
would appear, therefore, that Mexico has had a
Republican administration" Readers of most
papers know of a certainty that the only time
that the federal treasury was empty during
the past quarter of century was in 1861,
when Democratic administration gave way
to Republican one. 1t has not been empty
since. Indeed, the Republican surplus was
the principal cry of the demagogues during
the last campaign of whom the Times was
one of the chief fuglemen.

MISS CLEVELAND, in her letter to the con-

cultural colleges of the country, gave utter
anca to the sound Republican doctrine Of
protection to such industries as may be devel-

pacyment to American men and women. Sho
rightly maintains that silk culture may be
maintained and developed by encouragement
OF the government, and thus a wide avenue
will be opened for the self-support Of women.

such blame might not be unjust; only in that

that worthy unable to estimate the exact

moisture. If it should rain frequently within
the month the grass would begin to reappear,
otherwise, throughout this year, at least the
ground would remain bare" There can be
hardly any doubt that when the soldiers hear
of this they will proceed individually and col
lectivelv to pray for rain. 1t is their duty to
make some return for the lavish hospitality
