During the twenty years of power en-
joyed by the Republican party neither the
civil service nor any other kind of service
was encountered with Democrats. The
cry, "turn the rascals out" was not
heard then because there were no rascals
to turn out except the "trooly loil." But
now Republican papers like the Brooklyn
Union put up a mournful whine about
"the hollowness OF the high-soundlng pro-
fessions of fairness to faithful officers
who are not of the administration party"
1t is amusing to be informed that ''every
Republican, expects to be removed"
when it is well known by every intelli-
gent Republican that such a removal
would be the purest Justice.

While cold hand Sripped my heartstrings,
Held them fast.
Still waited; still listened:
All my soul
Trembled in the eyes that watched her
As che stole
Up the stairs with measured footsteps:
But she turned
Where lamp in braZen bracket
Brightly burned,
Showed me all the glittering rippes
OF her hair,
Yelled her eyes in violet shadows
Glimmered where
Curved her mouth IN soft compliance
As che bent
Toward me from the dusky railing
Where she leant.

Slowly lifts the rose that nestes
Softly there,
Breathes she IN It's heart my answer
Shyly sweet,
And Loves message mutely 1utters
To my feet.

Roman Catholic circles in New York
are stirred up over the recently developed
causes OF the refusal OF Archbishop Cor
rigan TO permit the funeral services Of
the late Judge Henry Alker to be cele-
brated in the Cathedral there. The
funeral was not held in the Cathedral be-
cause Judge Alker became one of the
Board of Governors of the House of
Refuge against the wishes of the Arch.
bishop. The Archbishop rests his justi-
fication of his action on the ground that
Judge Alker had signed, or allowed his
name to appear upon, paper containing
an expression OF views which were
aptagonistic to the Catholic Church. The
Archbishop's objection to Judge Alker's
becoming a Governor of the House of
Refuge was general one. He thought
that no Catholic ought to have anything
to do with the place as long as the Roman
Catholic form OF worship was not allowed
there. Judge Alker was opposed to the
freedom of worship bill, bill that had
been laid aside, and which would have
authorized the celebration of mass in the
House OF Refuge. At the time of the de-
feat of the bill, however, Judge Alker
was not connected with the institution
but opposed, on principle, to the kind Of
legislation involved in it. He was an en-
thusiastIc Catholic.

Rumors of Cabinet Changes.

The New York Star, which pretends to
to be the New York organ of the admins
tration, circulates the report that Mr..
Manning may soon retire from the Treas
ury Department, and that two other Cab
met officers. one of them being Attorney
General Garland, may soon resign. 1t
also throws out hints that in the event of
Mr.. Manning's resignation he will be sue
ceeded by Mr.. Bayard. and that Mr..
Lamar. Secretary OF the Interior, will be
transferred to the State Department.
There have been so many rumors OF
Cabinet changes that the public puts lit
tie confidence in them, and in the present
instance there appears to be nothing upon
which to base them. When the Wash
iugton correspondents are in want of
news they manage somehow or other to
pick up rumors OF Cabinet changes.
There is no doubt, however, that Mr..
Lamar would I'll the position OF Secretary
OF state admirably, and it is not improba-
BILE that Mr.. Bayard would make a good
Secretary OF the Treasury. Both are bet
ter fitted for the positions for which they
are named than for the positions
they at present occupy. IL is probable,
however, that Mr.. Manning will not re-
sign unless his health shows signs OF
falling again, and it is certain that the
country would hear OF his resignation
with regret. He is making an excellent
Secretary OF the Treasury, and his views
on the tariff and silver questions are
sound, and meet the approval of those who
have given them the closest study.
The Star certainly ought 10 get inside
news relative to the affairs OF the admin
istration because it has been the Presi.
dents stanch friend and defender ever
since his inauguration. After all, how.
ever, the securing OF news depends rather
upon the correspondent than upon the at
titude of his paper, as the columns of the
leading newspapers plainly Indicate.

A Recruit For Tariff Reform.

Hon. III. FL. Carlton who will be men,
Der OF the Georgia delegation in the Fiji
tieth Congress, is a genuine tariff reform
er. The Banner-W atchman calls atten-
ton to a speech which he delivered during
the adjourned term of the Oconee Super
ior Court, and points out that the views
he expressed then are about the same as
those expressed by the President in his
message. DR.. Carlton regards the pres
ent tariff as especially burdensome to
farmers. About everything they buy is
taxed, their clothes, blankets and agricul-
tural implements costing a great deal
more than they would if the tariff were not
arranged for the benefit of great monopo-
lies. While they are taxed upon ali they
buy they receive no benefits from the
tariff in the way of higher prices for
what they have to sell, They are treated
unfairly, and have right to complain.
DR.. Carlton, being an earnest, aggress-
i've man, will be a valuable addition to
the tariff reformers in Congress. He will
not content himself with simply declaring
his position. He will take off his coat, as
il were, and do honest work for the tariff
reform cause. Some of the protectionist
journals have been claiming that protec-
ton is gaining ground rapidly in the
South. When they find out the sort OF
man DR.. Carlton ia they will be satisfied
that it has not gained ground, at least in
the Eighth Georgia district. AS matter
of fact, it is not gaming ground anywhere
in the South.

Judge Gresham's entry upon the arena
Of Indiana politics as a candidate for the
United States Senate will certainly mix
political matters in that State pretty

Indiana a great deal Of very neat diplo-

BULL Mountain Coal,

A few month, ago We noticed the
fact that fifty tons of coal from the
Bull Mountains had been shipped
east for test on the Northern Pacific
railway. IL is understood that the
test las not proved 80 satisfactory

previous tests. 10 j. rumored that
the coal sent was not fair sample
as it was mined from near the sur
face and had for over two years
been exposed To the atmosphere.
1t is now proposed, and arrange
mentS will soon be made, To mine
fifty tons more. This coal will be
taken out of the tunnel after 1t has
been run in one hundred feet or mole
in order that test may be made from
the coal in lis natural state. Previous
tests of the coal had shown that 1t was
only about twenty-five per cent inferior
to Pittsburg coal in steam making
qualities, and should the next te.t
prove equally satisfactory, We have
the assurance of gentleman high in
the confidence of the Northern Pacific
authorities that the railway will eel
tainly be built this year.-Billings

A Quartette Of Church Singers.

It does not always result pleasantly to
look into the individuality Of those who
are doing something in church. That was
what thought at St. Pauls after l had
foolishly sought place from which could
discover who was in the quartette OF sing
ers. Trinity keeps large corps OF vocal
lists to sing in the nine houses OF worship
which the parish maintains in different
sections Of the city, and assignments OF
voices are made to suit the varying re-
quirements On this occasion the result
was musically excellent. The clear sweet
ness Of the soprano, the soft melody Of the
tenor, the strength of the alto, and the
deep rumble of the bass were remarkably
well balanced and blended. When / saw
from a distance that shapely young man
and girl were the central pair, | said TO
myself how lifting 1t was that they should
emit tenor and soprano sounds, while the
ungentle alto and the gutteral bass were
respectively voiced by middle-aged, ugly
woman and still less presentable fat man.
But on close observation | discovered
that things were deceptively reversed.
Contrary to usage the tenor and the so
prano were at the ends Of the row, and
they were none other than the plain
mstron and the soggy man, while the alto,
with tone like a virago, was the dainty
girl, and the bass roar Of ho5rse bandit
came from as neat dandy as could be
Imagined. Now, an artistic point was
gained by placing the qusrtette in that un

shipers.-New York Cor. Chicago Tribune
