We notice friends of Hon. John Il.
Oberly are r~ging his appointment by he
Incoming democratic president, to re
position of public printer. tbs position
is now held by Mr.. RorNds, cit zen of
Illinois. There is no good reason that we
know of, why linois shor'd not retain
this important position, and there is nc
man in the country better qualified to 81
the place. Mr.. Oberly is practical prin'
te-. His experience acquired by years Of
hard labor in printing office admirably
fits him for t s official place lie is {
democrat, whose services should be rec
Ognized by the incoming administration
For years he has been devoting his tint
and talents as chairman of the democratic
state central committee, to the orgaDiza
ton, progress and success of the DEM
cratic party. We know nothing from Mr.
Oberly as to his personal wishes. But j
he desires to be public printer, the con
centrated, united and determined voice o
the democratic party of the great state o
Illinois he should have to did him in SC
curing the place. And we have no doub
he will have the aid of that voice warm

FOR THE SECOND TIME.
ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A
LONDON TRAIN.
The Underground Railway Again the Scene
of the Outrage T~" People Slightly
Hurt, but Everybody
Badly Scared.

LONDON, Jan. 5-A dynamite explosion
occurred in the underground railway, be-
tween Cover street and Kings Cross station,
at $50 Friday evening The windows of q
passing train were shattered and the gas
light was extinguished Beyond this there
was no damage done The passengers were
greatly terrified, but no one was hurt, and
the train resumed its journey, after a delay
of twenty-five minutes.
The shock of the explosion was felt by the
residents of Euston road, between st. Pan
cras church and Judd street The railway
runs the whole length of Euston road, under
meath the roadway. A crowd speedily col
lected at the west shaft at the head of Ossul-
ton street, from which at the time of the ex-
plosion q quantity of smoke issued As soon
as possible number of porters were sent to
the spot with lamps and appliances for clear
ing the line. Up to thepresent time nothing
has been found! The residents of the 10
cality are greatly alarmed.
The shock overthrow several wayfarers on
Euston road 1t was with great difficulty
that horses were restrained from running
away. The gaslight in Cover Street sta
ton were extinguished. Ths ticket col
lector at the station was thrown from his
box, and an engineer working the incan-
descent electric-Iight machinery was thrown
from his scat three or four feet, landing on
his face The lights in other trains in the
tunnel were extinguished. The passengers
were greatly alarmed, and many ladies
tainted. The Cover street platform was
literary strewn with persons Frustrated by
the shock.
A lady's nose was cut by glass. One gen
tleman had his side and face and another his
wrist cut These are the only serious casual
ties reported. All the passengers left the
train at the Cover Street station. Many of
them were in half fainting condition.
LATER. passenger on the Underground
railroad train that left Cover street for
| Kings Gross station few minutes
| before the time of the explosion on
that road Friday night, says he saw man,
| who wore an ulster with fur collar and &
| wide-awake hat enter, the compartment next
| to that in which he sat The man carried
parcel, apparently of considerable
| weight, wrapped in cloth of American
manufacture Shortly after the train left
| Cover street, the man let down the window
| Of the compartment with loud slam. He
| got out at harrington street and walked
| away He was then without the parcel
The passenger thought the stranger had
forgotten it, and he looked over the parti
sion between the compartments and diseoy
| cred that the parcel was gone.

seekers, ON the other hand, should regard it
as hostile to their hopes, but its
true significance rises far above these
PERSONAL considerations of ms and
,uts. It is evident the hateful
and dangerous spoils system Of office-get-
ting and office-holding can be rooted out
only by the persistent efforts of successive
administrations, and, perhaps, successive
parties. 1t was given to the Republican ad-
ministration to begin the work, and Presi-
dent Arthur and his cabinet deserve well
from their country that they have so nobly
! met the demand OF duty without hest
tation They have opened the great
departments and large Offices Of the country
TO the most nleritorious, without question a.
to parry character. President Arthur
hear5y and magnalinous support OF hi re
| form will make his administration as
| famous in history as it has made it popular
among the best of his living couatiymen.
But it needs the equally hearty and mag
unanimous efforts und sacrifices of his
successor and of the Democratic party, in it,
| tGrn, to fully extirpate this accused upas
| tree Of the patronage system. These efforts

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan 5-Recont criti

gress upon Governor Cleveland's ciyiLservice

with Professor j. NJ Gregory, of the civil.
service commission Saturday. In response

tiVes can be seen somewhat by the char

For instance, We. ! few senators are hotel

conscript fathers reside in the most tony

TIE NATIONAL DEBT INCREASE.
Explanatory Figures Showing How i
Happened.

Explanatory Figures Showing How 1t
Happened.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan 5-One assump-
ton made with reference to the increase of
the public debt is that it is an indication of
the 4 preston i'll business in the country.
The following figures viii assist in
showing how far the assumption is justi-
fed: The decrease in the public debt in
December year ago was less than $1,000,
900 and the expenditures were 10000, 900
This year the increase is $640000, but the
eXpen litures are SO 000, 0000 This
increase in expenditures is ac-
counted for mainly by the carrying
over from November of $4,000, 900 for pen
sions which. for the corresponding month
last year only required S2,S0l00). 1t should
not bo inferred from this however, that
there is any increaee in pension payments
for the fiscal year Thus far they are in feet
less by $3.50, 900 than for the corresp rnding
half Of last year, but they have been dis
| tributed differently through the quarters.
Tho receipts show a falling of OF
81 900 900 for the month and the de
preston in business for some months past Ia,

| revenues for the FIRST half OF the last fisca
year were nearly Sl75, 000000, as a sainst
