British Doors in America.

Americans are sometimes heard to
complain OF the manners OF certain
class OF young Englishmen, who ought
to know better. They are accused of
accepting American hospitality and of
neglecting the conventionality ofdress
and etiquette which are customary in
good European society The Ameri-
can naturally resents the idea of an
Englishman doing in America what he
would not do at home, and very just
ly considers such action want Of
proper respect toward his entertain
ers. 1t is hardly likely that any man,
calling himself a gentleman, would de-
liberately wish to insult his host. It
would be difficult to find a
term too strong to- characterize
offense against good manners and
gentlemanly bearing. The explana-
tion is probably to be found in the
gross ignorance in regard to all things
connected with America, which is
sometimes to be met with in England,
even among the so-called educated
classes

Then looked around for my orderly.
but he was nowhere to be seen. l
anxiously scanned the horizon TO
catch glimpse of him, and rode back
over my trail until sunset IN hopes OF
finding some trace OF him; but l saw
no sign or indication of his presence,
and so, regret fully, had to give up the
search for time. Taking my land
marks I struck out for camp, which
l reached about 9 O'Clock that night.
The orderly's pony had already come
into camp ahead Of me, which lett the
conclusion that the poor fellow had
been unhorsed, or perhaps had receiv-
ed some accident; and possibly he
might at that very moment be lying
helpless on the prairie, awaiting as
sistance from us. | Immediately
started the whole command out in
search OF him, with orders to scour
our back trail even as far back as
our last camping-place. myself went
along with one party. About mid
night we heard a single shot fired lar
ahead in the darkness, and, listening
intently, had about come to the con-
clusion that it was a mistake, when
again family in the distance the shot
was repeated.
There could be no mistake now, for
the signal was repeated at regular in
tervals Of ten minutes, which led us to
the spot, where we found the. poor
fellow trudging along, tired and worn
down with fatigue, but in good spirits
and entirely unharmed. His horse
had gotten away from him somehow,
and left him alone and afoot on the
prairie. He Immediately struck out
across the country in direction that
must carry him across the main trail,
which he did really discover before
darkness set in. He had been follow
ing it ever since, and firing his revolver
as described until found by us. All
the relief parties came up in an hour
or SO, having been attracted to the
spot by the signal shots, which had
served to bring us to the same place.
Mounting the orderly on his horse,
brought along especially tor the pur
pose, we once more turned in the
direction OF camp, which We reached
just as the sun was coming up over
the eastern hills.

The Presidents Message.

We this week present our read
ers with the annual message of the
President to Congress.
If we were to offer any criticism
we would object only to the great
length of the document, and not to
it's matter, or its comprehensive
ness. In some of his suggestions
the President holds to ideas pecul-
iarly his own and not strictly in
accord with the leaders of the
party.
He favors Revenue reform, a
suspension of Silver coinage. He
still adheres to his dogmatical
ideas of Civil Service Reform, and
declares that dire calamities will
follow its abandonment.
In preparing this document the
President has evidently consulted
no one of the many Democratic
statesmen in and out of Congress,
and is individually responsible for
it's statements and suggestions.
This being the case we may expect
that it will receive no more atten-
ton from Congress than did his
message of last wear,

Civil Service Reform.

While we believe it is true that
it is only by taking the offices out
of politics and so withdrawing
their influence from our elections
that the latter can be purified, we
also are of the opinion that this
can be only done thoroughly by
removing from the President in
person, and from the various De-
partments the right and power to
appoint any one to position of
trust or profit in the service, and
make each the subject of election.
This is foolish to those who do
not stop to consider that it is not
the fact that a single officer is to be
selected by ballot, but the fact that
the selections of more than one
hundred thousand officers is de-
temined by and in the selection of
but one officer, to wit the President
of the United States, Il practice
which makes his position one vast
bureau of political position.
Change the law and throw the
selection of the whole number to
the people, where it rightly

THE Columbus Times, few days

vigorous style:
ut must be humiliating for the
FSunday Skunk" that has so long

his course of villifying the most re-

honor, the position of Librarian at

of Gov. HOadly, and was deposed
with other Democrats when the
present mal-administration broom
got into play. 1t does us good to
meet such Democrats as Mr.. Allen.

Outhwaite md CampIeil.

New York Sun
Among the conspicuous Repre-
sentatives here are the two prom
Using leaders of Ohio's young Dem
ocracy-Campbell and Outhwaite.
They are two young Ohioans you
want to keep your eye on. One of
them will be Governor of Ohio
within the next four or six years,
and the other United States
Senator, probably. They are hand
some men physically and strong
men intellectually. Mr.. Outh-
waite is likely te have the honor of
being the first member Of the House
to grapple successfully with the
Pacific Railroad Indebtedness prob
lem. He has given the subject un-
sparing study, and his efforts to
pass bill that will be inst to the
railroads as well as the Govern
ment promise to be crowned with
success.

off on the first opportunity that
might present itself. In the house
in which the corpse of his dead
friend was lying on the trestles the
thoughts of Senator Edmunds were
busted with things of more serious
moment than the petty chickering's
and strife of politics. On such an
occasion he would doubtless have
extended his hand to persons whom
he might have held in less esteem
than even Mr.. Blaine. But the
egotism of Mr.. Blaine is of so en-
crossing u character as to never
abandon him for an instant. When
the two met Senator Edmunds was
no doubt thinking of his dead
friend, but Mr. Blaine was certainly
thinking of himself.
Mr.. Blaine is thoroughly inspired
with his imaginary greatness, and
like Don QuiXote sees nothing
sacred save himself. The-man who
would so act at such place eX-
hibits littleness of mind that can
occasion nothing but contempt,
but we must remember that Mr..
Blaine, by the fullsome praises and
batteries of the press of his party,
has been taught to place the highest
value on his dear self, II value much
bestow on any other mortal. We
can however console ourselves with
the knowledge that there is moth
ing in the constitution of the
country to prevent him from play
ing the fool whenever he pleases.

1T is estimated by the Baltimore

not be determined this winter.

The newspapers are still worry

occurred between Mr.. Blaine and
Mr.. Edmonds when attending at
the funeral Of the late eX-President
Arthur. Mr.. Blaine knew the init
mate relations that existed between
Mr.. Mr.. Edmunds and the dead
President, and he must have eX-
pected to encounter the Senator at
the funeral. The probability is
that Mr.. Blaine, smarting with the
wounds caused by the recently

The COuncil and the Gus.

Logan has Gas Co. and as is
usual in such cases it furnishes
light for our streets under a con-
tract duly made and entered into
by and between Il former Council
and the Company, under which the
gas for the lamps on our streets is
now furnished. This contract can
not be repudiated on the part of the
town or Gas Company without liza
bility for damage.
If the Company are making any
money it is under and by virtue
of the contract above referred to.
The Republican Gazette of this
week says that the Company has
never declared a dividend since it
has been in existence, and if this
be true, and we have no reason to
dispute it, the Gas Co. are certainly
not waxing fat through the toll and
sweat of the tax payers of Logan.
When the revised contract was
made with the Gas Company it
was thought to be fair to all con-
cerned, and we have heard but lit
tie complaint, and venture the as
sertion that Logan is as well served
with gas as is any town of its size
in the State.
The Gas Co. Is not Il foreign COR
poration, and the members pay
their proportionate amount of taxes
for all corporation purposes includ-
ing the lighting of the streets.
We believe we have an honest, in
telligent Council and one who will
see that the contract for lighting
the streets Ii faithfully carried out,
and when this is done no one can
be badly injured In financial point
of view. We see no need of growl-
ing over something we, the citizens,
authorized years ago.
