The announcement in the letter of THE
TRIBUNFs London correspondent, that the
British civil service which Lord Randolph
Churchill has taken steps to inv estigatc
and reform, is full of rottenness will strike
few persons with surprise. 1t has been well known
for a long time that the macline IN Great Britain
did not work by any means as well profess
sonal advocates Of civil service reform have repre-
scented. Indeed. the notorious inetfcieucy of the
service in important emergencies the inaccuTacy
and inadequacy of official reports and returns. the
excessive cost of many der lItments of the Govern
ment the disgracelu tyOrtiSm in many depart
ments. all have combine TO make the system some
what OdIous, and to cast ridicale upon those Who
IN 20 pretended that this country cold make
progress toward GOod government EXCEPT by Dor
rowing British methods. It j. pro able that the
Investigation vii disclose Il state of facts in Great
Britain which will lessen the anxiety of Americans
to initiate british methods of reform The truth
is that those Republican statesmen claimed no
more than was just who affirm ,u that the civil
service in this country under recent Republican
Administrations WAS more efficient, moro honest
and more pure than that OF any other great
country with which it had been compared But
that is not reason for rejecting any practical

According to Felix A Reeve, a cores
pondent OF the November North American
Review, the Southern and border slave
states furnished over $4,000 white vol
unteer soldiers for the Union army, in tho
war OF the rebellion, and nearly loo, 900
colortd troops for the same service.
running first TO Delaware, among the
old slave states, we learn with amaze
lnent that she furnished larger number
OF soldiers for the Union army, IN pro-
portion to military population. than nnv
other state OF the National lJnionl In
1860 this heroic little state had only about
$4,000 white males between the ages OF
Of hteen and forty.nve, yet she seat
1850 men Into the Union
army, or 10 per cent. OF her avail.
sble strength, New Hampshire contrl-
buted o. per cent; Vermont and Massa-.
chusetts, bs each; Maine, 59 Rhode
Island, GO; Illinois aud Ohio, COZ Kansas,
72i snd Indiana, "a. The other border
states did almost as crcdltahly. Mary
land furnished the Union cause 40 per
cent. Kentucky, a.; Missouri, ~; West
Virginia, 49, and Tennessee, one OF the
seeded states, furnished TO the Union
cause over $4,000 white solders.n
Mr.. Reeves thinks that without the con-
seryative union element OF the Southern
and border slave states, tho dsmember-
meat Of the federal Union would have
been ineyitablei and had IL not been for
the conservative stand taken by the Union
Democrats OF East Tennessee and other
portions OF the South at the close Of the
war, the condition OF the ex-Confederates
would have been miserable be-
yond measure. DISTINGUISHED, their
property taken, and they them
selves pursued as political out
laws and traitors, thousands OF those
who had but lately been arrayed against
them in deadly conflict, stood like
hreak-watcr between them and utter and
unutterable ruin, aud this, too, without
any hope or expectation OF reward from
any source. Thus IL viii be seen that
these loyal friends OF the national
government were as generous
Ia peace as they had been brave
In battle. The country, therefore,
owes, much 10 The Union sentiment nc
the South, and ex Coniederates ere under
an innnite obligation 10 the brave aud
nnselfsh UnionIsts who, unable to In
dorse the proscnptivepoiicy Of tho dOml-

political rights at o time when they were

was caused by defective drawhead. En-.
CINE 1873 was pulling train of twenty
i've cars loaded with ccal, corn, oats aud
lumber from the north. Yard engine No.
90 was pushing. They had got about
thirteen cars TO the top of the grade when
drawhead pu led out about midway OF
the train letting fourteen cars, with
the switch engine back down the grade,
which Is very steep here. The impetus
given the cars was so great that the
switch engineer was powerless In his
efforts to stop. Although he reversed
his engine as quickly as possible the train
went numbering on with lightning speed
to destruction, aud when north OF Denison
two miles colided with engine 1856, that
was pulling In for Denison from the
north heavily loaded. The crash was ter

The result of this wreck Is fourteen cars
and freight engine and switch engine
totally demolished, two cars of shelled
corn and car OF oats scattered broadcast
over the country aud c@al scattered
In all directions. The wreck is
a confused mass OF ruins. The wreck
happened in cut, and we are glad to
state that no one was hurt. The train
men all saved themselves by Jumping
The track is cleared, and the passenger
train 1913 from the north that was due
here at 40 this morning has Just passed

the most disastrous wreck that has &C.
Cured on the road for some time, and
the loss is roughly estimated at between
$4,000 and $4,000.

that, while the Convention recognized the
obligation resting upon the whole Church
to aid IN the education OF the colored peo'
pie, they should leave the control OF the
work to the bishops of the respective do
