PETERsoN's MAGAZINE for April
opens With very beautiful steel en-
craving, viz: "The Little PIlferer,"
after picture by the celebrated Ger
man artist. Meyer Won Bremen. Then
comes double-size fashion-plate,
which all the ladies will rave over; two
colored patterns; and some fifty wood
cuts OF fashions, embroideries, etc.
The stories, all original, are even better
than usual. ION The Roxberry Sands"
is one great power. "Sister Dorathy,"
by Edgar Fawcett, is society novelet
OF very high merit. "The Burglar
Alarm" by Frank Lee Benedict, is in
tensely funny. "The Millionaire
Daughter" by Mrs. Ann S. Stephens,
grows in interest and force with every
number. Altogether, we do not see
how any lady can be without ''Peter-
son." The terms are but two dollars
a year; and now is a good time to sub
scribe. Address Charles J. Peterson,

A shooting affair occurred in Gallows
Hollow Sunday afternoon which result
ed in colored youth about sixteen
years old, named Willie Boston getting
bullet in the back. The shooting was
done by Ed Crouch, young married
man, also colored, who lives in the

ing was an accident. Boston had been
to his house and the two had been en-
gagged in friendly skuffie, Boston had
left the house and was almost 100 yards
away when he was shot, Crouch was
standing in his door with the gun,
which was target rifle, in his hand
and claims that it was accidently dis
charged. The ball hit Boston about
the middle of the back one inch to the
left of the spine and struck bone and
glanced upward. 1t is not thought to be
dangerous.

in this State must meet, The Blair
bill IS a national question likely to be

Is in nosense party issue The eleven
votes cast against it in the Senate were
cast by six Democrats and five Republi-

the disagreement of the Union

is going to split the party in this State.
If the Democratic convention is foolish
enough to bother itself with such ques-

osLER JOE.

The Memphis Avalanche thinks that
Washington society had right to be
shocked at the poem "0sler Joe" and
we will agree that the revolt against
the sentiment il expresses was proper.
Shocked, probably, is not the right
word. That might be understood as
expressing squeamish objection to
the ideas or language OF the poem, and
that is not justified. 1t is not the in
delicacy Of the thing of which COM
plant can be made. Such criticism
could be as properly passed upon Tom
Hoods Bridge OF Signs" and other
CLASSIC productions IN which the literary
world has longdetighted, but its senti-
ment 10 to be condemned.
The poem seeks to make hero of a
cackold whose consistency could only
create contempt. The faithfulness Of
She lover of EvangiLne and such true
devotion as that Of Enoch Arden are sub
jects onwhich poet may legisimrtely
exercise his fancy, and on which the
lover OF poetry may dwell with pleas
ure, but who can find anything to love
or admire in the stupid and spiritless
husband who gives a life long affection
to woman who has left him for life
ofleudnes and debsuchery. ...t
The poem, in that 1t fails to awaken
any fine emotions, is not poem. 1t is
not deficient in wording and
measure, and the story is we'll told.
But such story 1t is not the mate
rial out of which poetry can be made.
True manhood revolts ut the picture it
portrays, andthe only sympathtic cord it
could possibly touch would be kind of
pity for the idiocy Of the here.

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.

There is q very widespread misap-
prehension OF what is meant by Civil
Service Reform and what such reform
aims to accomplish. The general i'm
preston seems to be that it is an effort
to suppress political parties and decry
partisanism. The following from the
Brownsville Democrat will serve to
illustrate the prevalent idea on the sub
ject;
1t does not hurt man to be n parti-
Fan. The two men whom the people Of
Indiana most delighted to honor, and
whom the nation holds in remembrance
oliver ?. Morton and Thomas A.
Hendricks-were distinguished for the
intensity of their partisan convictions
and the tenacity with which they adj
hered to them. 4 milk-sop docs not
live long in anybody's esteem.
Our Brownsville contemporary is ex-
sctly right in all that it says, but it evil
IDENTITY meant this as blow at Civil Ser
vice Reform which it, no doubt, regards
as kind Of etieminatc political nstheti-
Cism. Al
A man without convictions and the
courage to express them, is no man at
ill. The great men OF history were all
/ partisans. But this fact should not be
degraded by mixing the idea on which
1t is based with the spoils system.
Is it necessary in order to maintain
the principles OF great political party
that the party dispense the loaves and
fishes OF Office among its adherents in
the event of it's success? What has the
politics of cross-road postmasters and
government clerks to do with the main
tainance of party principle?
What we need in tho Civil Service is
efficient men and the Civil Service Re-
form idea is that minor offices be given
on the ground OF efficiency and COM
petancy and not as rewards for party
service.
The reform, il properly carried out,
would elevate the partisan and purify
political parties. To support candi-
date would then mean to uphold the po-
iitical principles he might represent and
would not be bid tor share in the
patronage he would dispense if elected
While the spoils system is in vogue, it
is next to impossible to remove party
from power that has once gotten possess
ion Of the Offices. This was why the Re-
publican party was so tenacious OF
power, notwithstanding its noted cor
ruption and decadence of vital princi-
pie.
The machine men and professional
politicians everywhere, denounce Civil
Service Reform and they have misled
many good people into agreeing with
them, who, If they would take the
trouble to investigate the subject, would
conclude differently. 4ga

The !. A. AND 7.

The invitation of the CHRONICLE to
citizens to write about the |. A. x r.,
railroad has failed toawaken response.
We were in hope that more interest
would have been manifested. Though
somewhat hackneyed, ii is still vital
question TO GAINESVILLE and one in
which all her citizens should feel the
deepest interest.
One gentleman, too modest to put
himself in print, has suggested to the
editor, that if the Louisville & Nash
vile railroad can afford to pay large
sum to shutout competition into Clarks-
vile, that the people Of GAINESVILLE can
pay as much to obtain it. There are
many probably who would assent to this
proposition, but it will take a genius to
devise a scheme by which the thing can
be done. Twas in the hope of raising
this genius that we asked for communi-
cations.
There are other good citizens who
argue that it would be a calamity for
the l. A. T., to fall into the hands Of the
Chesapeak & Ohio. They say that road
would be interested in Carrying local
freights from GAINESVILLE and that this
company would probably run the road
through Hopkinsyille.
We would be pleased to give all these
views presentation through the CHRoN-

DR.. Bob WHITE takes kindly inter-
est in advising the temperance folks
through the columns of his Herald. He
has recently informed them that Prohi-
bition is not likely to carry in an of
year, because it will require not bear
majority of the vote cast, but of the
voters OF the State, estimated by the
vote cast at the preceding election,
We don't know ii either the doctor or
the temperance folks need be disturbed
in that regard. When once the Prohi-
bition question gets before the people in
Tennessee, it is going to wake up the
hills and hollows and no stone will be
left unturned behind which politician
might dodge.

ANTI CHINESE LEAGUE.

Whereas, the rapid increase Of the Chimes
population in all parts Of the Pacific slope, an
their ready induction into all the branches {
trade and labor, thereby depriving the poo
and needy of both sexes OF our own race of tn
natural means Of earning an honest living; an
Whereas, they, the Chinese, are by rae
and education debarred from becoming ciii
zens, thereby becoming a part of the bod,
polite, but only seek to enrich themselves b,
impoverishing our country; and
Whereas, the Chinese are unsoci9l in thei
habits, treacherous in their instincts, and bar
barous in their nature, paying but little taxes
themselves, but by their many crimes worrying
the patience Of our courts and doubling the
burdens Of our own people; and
Whereas, Boise City and other towns o.
Southern Idaho are taking steps to rid them
selves Of so undesirable populations; therefore
be it now
Resolved, that we, the people of Caldwell
and vicinity will use all lawful and honorable
means in our power to prevent the further in
flux Of Chinese into our community, and to rid
ourselves Of those who are already in our
midst.
Secondly, Resolved, that we, the people Of
Caldwell and vicinity, after period Of sixty
days, dating from the adoption Of these resolu-
tons, will in nowise deal with Cinnamon, or
those who patronize them, either to buy Of
them or sell to them, or hire or give them en-
ployment Of any kind whatsoever.
Thirdly, Resolved, that we, the people Of
Caldwell and vicinity, form ourselves into a
league to be known as Caldwell Anti Chinese
League No. 2, for the purpose of carrying out
the foregoing resolutions; and that each citizen
signing these resolutions be deemed member
of said league.
Fourthiy, Resolved, that the said league
shall elect as permanent officers a president
and secretary, and also standing committee
OF FIVE, whose duty it shall be to acquaint the
Chinese residents OF Caldwell with the contents
Of these resolutions, and to visit families and
make arrangements to employ white labor in |
the room and stead OF Chinese labor.
