A~6IFBKRENCE OF OPINION.
 The Massachusetts Civil Service Reform league has passed resolutions commenting President Cleveland's course and saying:' We deem this a fit occasion for expressing our belief that the reasons which prevent the re- moval of officers during the terms for which they are appointed on partisan grounds, and for the purpose of putting in their places those who are in political accord with the ap- pointing power,' apply with equal force against appointments for political reasons when the terms of such officers expire; and we earnestly hope that the precedent estab- lished in the case of MT. Pearson will govern all similar cases, and that merit and compe- tency will be recognized by the reappoint- ment of all competent and faithful officers who have not used their official position for partisan purposes" Ee this the Independ- ent Boston Herald replies: "The League ap- pears to overlook the propriety and the jus tice of 'unpartisanizing' the public service, as a candid Republican paper has called the process of securing an equilibrium by ap- pointing Democrats to some of the offices that have now been filled exclusively with Republicans for twenty-feur years If the service were now on 8 business basis we should join in asking that every faithful and competent official should be reappointed. But the service was thoroughly pal tisan when President Cleveland came into office and to reappoint all the incumbents would be to perpetuate partisan basis"
 The New York Times is also not quite sure that the Civil Service Reform league of Mas sachusetts has hit the mark. It points out that the resolution passed by it has theo- retical and practical side. The practical side relates to the standard it appears to set up by which to judge the conduct of MT. Cleveland. And the Times thinks that it appears to set up the wrong standard. Says the Times: There is nothing in the pledges given by the President previous to his cleo tion, or in the policy which he defined for himself, or in the letter or spirit of the Civil Service law, that required him to rsappoint MT. Pearson. That being so it follows that there can be but very few cases-we doubt if there be anywhere the same motives exist in the same degree of force and psrtinency for the reappointment of other officers. We think it mistake te encourage the notion that if the President should fail to find it his duty to- mako such appointments he would be doing less than could fairly be ex- pected of him, and the mistake would not only be in the injustice to the President, but in the erroneous reasoning regarding the reform
 It is sad to see any difference of opinion arising among real Civil Service reformers. But the views of the Herald and the Times will please good Democrats.

Gouraud is the leader in the tele- phone business in England and under his management it is growing fast. Still Colo nel Gouraud says that more telephones have been put in for use during the past year in this country than are in use now in all Europe. America stands first in this busi- ness and England comes next, although long way behind. English capitalists have invested in South American telephone lines to large extent.
 The Correctional Tribunal of the Seine has just given judgment in action brought against medical man for violation of pro- fessional secrets discussion having arisen as to the cause of the death of M Bastien Lepage, the famous painter, Dr. Watelot, who attended him in his last illness, wrote letter to Le Matin, in which the malady in question was stated. Upon this the repre- sentatives of M. Lepage took proceedihgs. The defendant pleaded that he meant no harm; but the court, while admitting that he was actuated by no unworthy motives, sentenced him to pay fine of 100 francs, ,and the manager of the Matin to pay one of six teen francs. The Tribunal laid down the principle that to constitute a misdemeanor it was not necessary that mischievous inten- tions should be proved. Even if 8 profes- sional secret had been revealed with a laud- able object the misdemsanor would none the less exist
 The San Francisco Bulletin says that the work of the Lick trustees is approaching completion, most of the provisions of the trust having been fulfilled. There remain four pieces of work to be accomplished. The most important is the Lick observatory, which would have been finished long ago but for the difficulty in obtaining lens for the great telescope The contract for the lens was given in 1881 and one of the glass discs to compose it has been obtained, but as yet the castings for the crown disc have proved to be imperfect, and the completion of the telescope seems to be as far distant as ever. Land for the Lick free baths has been pur- chased and the buildings will soon be erect ed. The sum of $75,O 1000 will be expended on the baths and s75, 900 reserved a fund to maintain them. The next bequest of MT. Lick was s6O, 900 for bronze monument of Francis Scott Key, author of ''The Star Spangled Banner to be erected in Golden Gate Park. W. w. Story, the distinguished American sculptor, has been invited to sub init designs. Designs and proposals are ex- peeted from him in few months. The
 final work will be bronze group for the new City Hall and the endowment of the California School of Mechanical Arts.

A COUPLE OF FISH STORIES.
San Franci1co Nay Furnishes S'
 Serpent And a Monster.


 Serpent And Monster.
 From the San Francisco Chroniclel
 The existence of great sea serpent is no longer in doubt. It has been seen in the waters of San Francisco bay. According to the statement of J. P. Allen, of the Bank of California, he and several other residents of Alameda were standing on the deck of the ferryboat Garden City yesterday morning at about S:30 o'clock, about midway between Alameda and Goat Island, when huge black monster suddenly raised it's head and neck from the water to height of about ten feet opened it's jaws, displaying mouth two feet wide filled with rows of sharply pointed teeth, and after taking curious glance at the passing steamer plunged again into the water, at the same time elevating sixty foot tail. with which it thrsshed the water for some time, after which it made off in the direction of the Alameda baths, near which some fish ing boats were anchored. Some incredulous persons to whom the story was told say that the ferryboat struck a floating spar, forcing one end downward in the. water and elevating the other as the steamer passed over the submerged end, and that after the steamer had passed the elevated end fell back in the water with splash. We may expect soon to hear of the destruction of the Ala meda fishing fleet, or more probably the es- tablishment of hotel for summer boarders in the vicinity of the Alameda wharf
 ! Besides the sea serpent, which gave 8 powerful impetus to the romancing powers of several reputable gentlemen crossing on a ferryboat, the bay yielded monster of such strange appearance that the oldest tar on the seawall has not yet given it name. The monster was first seen by Carl Sevening and John Peat, who were rowing near the North Heads at about nine o'clock yesterday morning. The animal exposed 8 fercely ! mustached head of shape between that of seal and 8 sea lion, surveyed the scene, took a dislike to the rowboat, and charged upon ster dived and came up under the boat, lift \ ing it and the occupants, but not capsizing it. The enemy made second appearance on | the opposite side of the boat, four feet of, ! and was met with active battle. Peat dealt ! & blow at the monsters head with an oar, ! knocking it out for 6 moment, and Sevening followed with another blow which knocked | the beast silly. The pair then secured the ' animal with the boats painter and began \ towing it, when the enemy came to time for ' a second round. This it began by towing ! the boat rapidly for quarter of mile. It | then came to the surface fer breath when | Sevsning landed it!a blow, gaining first blood,
 and ending the fight with square knock
 out The enemy turned belly up and was
 | lowed to the foot of Larkin street, where it
 | took six men to land it. The animal meas
 ured six feet in length and weighed about \ 300 pounds. It has green eyes and a long
 white, bristling mustache. It had two flip
 pers of great strength, which measured on.
 and half feet in length. The capture will
 ! be kept at the foot of Larkin street unti
 noon to-day.

"Good -natured determination" is what the Memphis Avalanche says was exhibited in the Tennessee legislature when one member drew a knife and another felt for his revol- yer.
 The story published in the Springfield Re publican yesterday that Postmaster Spsrry is to be reappointed and two years hence is to help w H. Barnum defeat Senator Flaw ley is as ridiculous ss anything that has been
 published for long time, even in the
 Springfield Republican.
 The Wisconsin legislature has given the
 city of Milwaukee local civil service reform system which provides for the removal of
 the police and fire departments from politics by the creation of board of commissioners
 who shall control all appointments. These | commissioners are to be selected by the l mayor, two from each political party, and after appointments under the. provisions of the law have been made there will be no re- movals except for cause. The enactment of 1 such law'is 8 long step in the direction of
 municipal reform.
 A trustee of the Providence public library | has gathered into scrapbook the adventures of the boys who read dime novels, and has | made it his business to ask the boys one by one who are interested in these stories to spend an hour or two in reading, not the imaginative story, but the way in which the | small boy has attempted to realize how boys ought te live, and what they ought to be al- lowed to do. It is said that the dime novel | boy usually reads the scrapbook, which is rapidly increasing in size as the fresh ex- ploits of the dime novel adventures are added ! to it, about two hours. He then lays it down | in disgust, and nothing can induce him to
 return to those stories again. He asks the person in charge of the reading room for a | better class of books.
 Judge Studley has rendered the appoint | ment of clerk of the court of common pleas | to Herbert B. Benton, editor of the Palla-
 dium. MT. Benton has accepted the appoint | ment, to take effect as soon as his present engagement as editor of the Palladium will
 permit. Probably no change will be made
 for couple of months, the present clerk of
 the court remaining to close up the busi-
 ness of his term. The appointment of MT. Benton is good one. He will make first
 class clerk of the court. He is graduate ot 1 the Yale Law school, and is energetic and
 efficient. He will be courteous to all who
 have business with him, and will not feel
 called upon to combine with the duties oi
 his office the more onerous task of running
 the Republican machine in this town. Hs
 will be much missed at the Palladium office
 where he has long done good and faithful l work.

PALM ER'S LIVER PILLS.

We doubt if there ever has been placed on the market, such Perfect and Effective Liver Pills for the cure of Biliousness. Bilious, Sick and Nervous Headaches, Chronic Constipation, Dyspepsia, Mala- ria, Chills and Fever, Dizziness, Distress After Eating, Bad Taste in the Mouth. Liver Complaint, Nausea, Piles, Diseases Incidental to Woman, Indigestion, De pression of Spirits; Purifying Enriching and Vitalizing the Blood and Restoring and Renovating the whole system.
 NEW HAVEN, CONN.
 I have never found in all my practice, any Liver Pills of so great value as Palm CTS Liver Pills for the treatment of Bilious ness, Bilious Headache, Malaria, Liver Complaint, Chronic Constipation and all disorders caused by bilious state of the system They are entirely unlike all other Pills, and are marvel to all who use them. DR. I. s. MILLER.
 These Pills are not Quack or a Pat ent Medicine, but have great Medicinal Virtue and Power. So eminently sue cessful have they been, that our best physicians and most worthy citizens furn- ish us with testimonials of cures effected. which seem miraculous and would hardly be believed. were it not for the abundance of proof and it's unquestionable reliability. Ask for Palmer's Liver Pills, and if your druggist does not keep them, don't allow hiM to put off on you any other Pills that contain Mercury or Morphine, which they say will answer equally as we'll, but insist upon taking no other but Palmer's and your druggist will get them for you.
