SHARPEN THE AK.
Men In the Government Mint Auda-
ciously "Chant Blaine's Praises"

fCcpyigt 1888, by the California A,sociated Press
WASHINGTON, February 5th.-Mint Di-
rector Kimball has raised question that
may ultimately require decision by the
President as to the authority of execu-
tive officers to make removals for purely
political reasons. There is nothing in the
civil service law that forbids making re-
movals from office. The only stipulation
is that employees in the classified service
shall not be appointed or promoted except
in compliance with the law requiring COM
petitive examinations.
Superintendent Lswton, of the San
Francisco Mint, has nominated Patrick
Walsh and William Broderick to positions
in the Mint now filled by two Republican
clerks, one of whom is Frederick Lasalle.
Superintendent Lawton, in making these
appointments, says he has directed the re-
moval of the incumbents for the reason
that they are offensive partisans, neglecting
no opportunity to chant Blaines praises to
the detriment of the business of the office
He makes the removals on political
grounds.
Director Kimball has refused to indorse
Lawton's action in making these removals,
or 10 confirm the new appointees, on the
ground that changes made for political rea-
sons ere contrary to law. The matter has
been referred to the Secretary of the Treas
ury. and may be brought to the attention of
the President.

SHASTA PARK AND OTHERs.-The plan to
have the Government reserve q tract of
land containing 20000 acres near Mount
Shasta for a national park is good one.
The game, fish and timber will thus be
preserved and a pleasant summer resort
will retain its attractiveness and be kept
unblemished by the hand of the greedy
spoiler. Only three national parks have
ever been set aside heretofore The Yo-
semitic valley comprises one of these, the
Mariposa Big Tree Grove another, and the
Yellowstone National Park the third. They
are set apart as pleasure grounds for the
benefit of the people and are made forever
inalienable. The Y llowstone Park con-
taiDs 1915 square miles, and within its area
is q marvellous number of hot springs, gey-
sers, waterfalls and other curiosities Be-
sides the fact that Government ownership
will preserve the natural attractions in
these reservations, it is pleasant to reflect
that no private individual can ever fence
them in and charge the people for seeing
them. The State of New York has lately,
| at great expense, redeemed Niagara from
the clutches of aVsrice. The manner in
which that great natural wonder was held
so long for private gain is warning to
State and National Governments TO with
hold, wherever possible, such attractions
from private ownership.-Los 1ngeies Err

Scheme to Remove Old Libby Prison
to Chicago.


CHICAGO, February 5th.-A new depart
ure in the line of relic-worship has been
taken here. Preliminary steps for the
formation of a corporation. whose object is
the purchase and removal to this CITY of
the famous Libby Prison of Richmond,
Va, were taken here yesterday. The build
ing is of red brick, three stories high and
covered with an old-fashioned gable-roof.
1t contains about 100000 bricks. Compe-
tent architects say it can be taken down,
removed to Chicago and rebuilt, Just as it
stands to-day. 1t will be taken down in
sections, boxed up and brought by rail.
When erected in Chicago the building will
be surrounded by another building 200x15O
feet. with glass roof. and on the opposite
wall will be painted panorama view Of
James river and the country beyond. Four
well known citizens are at the back of the
project. The company will have a capital
of 800, 900. and all the stock has been ap.
piled for.
William II Gray, who got up the scheme,
says the building can be purchased for
S23, 900, and an option has been taken on
it. 1t is also proposed to place in the build
ing collection of relics of the late war,
and have panoramic views of the engage
ment between the Monitor and Merrimac
and other battles.

CHAMPAGNE AND TERRAPIN.
Somo of the Attractions at the Chinese
Minister'S Coming Ball.

fCopgigAa. 1888, by a.e CalJora Associated Press
WASHINGTON, February 5th.-The Chi
nese Minister has issued cards for New
Years ball on the night of the 18th inst
There is a greater demand for invitations to
the annual ball given by Chang Yen Hoon
than to any other social event of the sea-
son. Most people go from curiosity to OBJ
serve the Oriental habits of the legation
and the magnificent decorations of the le-
CATION building. There is terrapin and
champagne without limit at these balls,
and heretofore scores of outsiders have at
tended the balls without invitations to the
great disgust OF the Minister, and added
cost to the empire for food and wine.
A new rule Is now to be observed-that
no one without cards shall be admitted
and the doorkeepers will be instructed to
admit no one who cannot produce ticket
of admission from the Minister.

THE CHAMPION FIEND.
Negro Lad Boils Two Children and
Brains a Third.

EASTMAN (Ga), February 5th.-Living
near James Pope, negro of Longview
Dodge county, is his brother-in-law, who
has son, Hubbard Harrell, 10 years old.
On Friday a negro gave Harrell bottle
of whisky and the lad got drunk. In his
frenzy he determined to kill Popes three
children. The children helped him fill a
kettle with boiling water and at his bidding
stripped themselves of their clothes.
The largest child, aged 5 years, was
plunged into the kettle and scalded to
DEATH
A child aged years tried to resist, when
Harrell seized him, and the young demon
thereupon beat its brains out with a piece
of iron and threw its body in the kettle.
The youngest child started to run away,
but was overtaken, and when the parents,
attracted by its cries, rushed to the scene,
they found Harroll holding it by the ankles
and beating its head against tree.
The flesh of the children in the kettle was
nearly boiled from their bones. The head
of the third child was beaten almost to a
jelly and it died during the night.
