Now that Major General Jingo jim has
put down the Canadian fish war, he is said
to be ready for campaign duty.

THE readers of the Milwaukee Sentinel
must feel sorry for that newspaper. Its
plaintive reform whine would excite sym
pathy in the breast ofa Camanche Indian.
The civil service, which was brought up
to such a magniicently grand state of
perfection by several republican admin
istrations. beginning With Rutherford's
celebrated order No. /, is likely to be
wholly wrecked by that terrible spoils
dispenser Grover Cleveland; or all this
Sentinel whine is the sickest kind of
hypocrisy. The people of the country
have pretty clear notions of the truly
glorious perfection of the civil service
under several republican administrations
and they know just exactly what it would
have been under the great Mulligan
jim, who, rs speaker Of the house
wrote Senator Hawley that he had
made ruling that would choke the life
out Of the farce of civil service. In the
light Of all this recent past, and in view
of that horrible Grover Cleveland deyot-
inp all his energies to the work of thwart
ing the civil service law n law which
vas the idol Of the republican heart and
the heart Of hearts Of the Sentinel there
il little doubt but that the people, wholly
in the interest of ciyil service, wish that
Jim had been elected. Truly and indeed

cinct. In all the cities the measure was

1t is Critical-The Rail- is not Removed,
BELorT, Wis, June 3o.-The condition
of Prof. c. W. Merriman, who was shot
by burglars on Sunday night, is still crit
cal. The surgeons have determined not
to attempt to extricate the ball, fearing
the operation would result fatally. There
is still no clue to the robbers. 1t appears
that they were young men and amateurs.
They wore handkerchiefs over the upper
half of their faces as though to conceal
their identity. While searching the room
they carried ON conversation i'll subdued
unnatural tones. They only obtained
$50. Entrance to the building was
effected by means of a window which was
patty opened. As soon rs Prof.
Merriman realiz, d that he had been shot
he hastily bandaged his neck with hand
kerchiefS SO as to stop the flow of blood,
and aroused his brother, who slept in
another quarter of the house. While the
latter went for a physician and notified
the police the professor did everything he
could to prevent hemorrhage.

at the Union stock yards. number of
empty stock cars had been removed from
esd street to the yards TO be loaded with
cattle. The apparent abandonment of
active hostihties by the strikers had
caused the vigilance of the guards to be
relaxed slightly, and just as the train had
left the Lake Shore track, protected by
an injunction, and entered the territory
of the stock yards man made a dash at
switch and threw it, and in an instant
two or three cars were ditched.
4 rifle shot rang ont as one of Pinker-
tons men took a snap shot at his dis
appearing figure. The shot was inetfect-
nai, and the man escaped. He was recog
nized, and will be arrested later.
No further attempt was made to inter
fere with the train, and the dersiled cars
were soon restored to the track and pro
ceeded 10 their destination.
There are great fears of serious trouble
at the stock yards. Strikers there are
apparently bent ON causing the Lake
Shore as much trouble as possible.
