Delegate Clifford authorizes the state
ment that every clerk in the various de.
partments at Washington has absolute
orders not to disclose to any one the ns.
ture of charges fled against republican
officials. The penalty for violation of
this rule is immediate dismissal. Thus,
it appears, the administration invites
charges and protects the parties produc-
ing them from any act Of perjury they
may choose to commit. The Spanish in
QUESTION in its palmy days, was little
worse than this in it's secret methods
and the despotism of Russia to-day
would hardly 60 SO far as to deny to it's
official servants hearing. Under the
guise of civil service reform the demo-
cratic party is systematically at work
upon fully matured plan to smirch
every republican who was unfortunate
enough to hold an Office when Mr..
Cleveland became president. In the
end all this will be used for
campaign material. The democratic
party will say to the country: "We
have removed seventy.fve thousand
(more or less) republican officials
for cause" The argument, based upon
this assertion, will be that it was time
for change and that the democratic
party had rescued the country from re.
publican corruption. The assertion
will be lie, of course, but the party
which strikes with the cowardlv hand
of sneaking assassin may be expected
to utter falsehoods, official and un
official. Delegate Clifford bases hi
statement upon his own experience ant
the experience OF other republican con
gressmen at Washington, and upon in
formation gained through their efforts
to protect their constituents from tht
operations of this powerful star cham
Der. Every official removed through
the testimony of unknown witnesses
should file, through his congressman, 6
demand for certified copy of the evi
dence upon which he was removed
The demand will not be complied with
but it must become part of the RECORD
of the case.

Coroner Coleman held the inquest into
circumstances OF the death of DR.. J. F. Max
well at the Sheriff 8 office, in the court house,
last evening. Jailer James Smith, ex-Sheriff
Foley, deputy A. J. Baker, prisoned named
Brown, and one or two others were exam
ined as to the finding of the body, as described
yesterday No post mortem was held under
the Coroner's direction, as there was no need
of any, but some OF the medical fraternity,
among them Doctors Reynolds, Russell,
and Meranda, have volunteered, in the inter-
est of the science, 10 make an examination OF
the brain, and perhaps other organs, and this
is in progress, it is understood, this after
noon. A certificate, properly signed, will
be furnished of the result OF this eIamina-
tiou The verdict will not be made up until
this certificate has been received, although
the Coroner has nothing to do with the ques-
ton of the suicides sanity. Not to make
two bites of cherry the verdict will be that
of suicidal death.

day afternoon and is in charge Of DR.. Russell.

handsome notice; whether We find Miss
Mitchell in the most frolicsome of her moods
or in the profoundest depths of her sorrow,
she is equally at home; and while she is
queen alnoug the merry. makers, there are
always tears in her pathos. She is remark
ably versatile little lady, and whatever she
does she does with all her might. Her sin
cerity has a charm OF its own, and expresses
itself eloquently and artistically in the busi-
ness OF vitalizing her characters. She sights
nothing, is content with no effort that
does not engage her whole heart,
and holds the pleasure Of her audi.
ence as worthy Of her best endeavors. There
is no more industrious and honest worker in
the profession than Maggie Mitchell. As an
artist she is unique, and in her favorite roles
she continues to be without successful rival.
Quaint, picturesque, original and fascinating
she always is. and the entertainment she
gives is unlike anything else the stage affords,
and is as delightful a. it is novel,"
