has been stated that the Directors of this
association were guilty of meanness and a
want of courtesy in their treatment of the

not be upheld by the people of the town, be it
Resolved That the communication in the
kennebec Journal of this date over the
signature of VIM. O'Brien rejecting dis
credit on the management of this club is an
unjust and untrue representation of the case
presented. The management fully complied
with all their requirements with the Augusta

the obstinate spirit thus shown is hurtfu to

cleveiandism In Indiana.

Hon. Lucious q. Smith has been promi-
nently active among the citizens Of Indiana,
who have strongly favored reform in the
civil service. Deceived for while by the
professions OF Cleveland and those of his
kind, his eyes are now thoroughly open.
He has submitted report TO the Executive
Committee Of the Indiana Civil Service
Reform Association. in regard to the
Democratic abuses in the indianapolis
Post Office. The report cites some of the
changes in the personnel under Democratic
rule. Particular attention is called to the
case Of Barney" Conroy, Il professional
thief, three times convicted of grand lar
ceny and robbery, whom Mr.. Cieveland's
Postmaster made mail agent in place Of a
Republican soldier. There are other in-
stances, not much less fragrant, of the APP
pointment of known criminals to office.
Mr.. smith quotes Postmaster Jones re-
icans to enter the classified service. no
matter how well they might stand on ex-
animation, aud goes on to say:
with the commencement of his operations
the service began TO deteriorste. and during
all this time this city has had, and has now.
an inefficient and unreliable mail service, and
the working efficiency of the mail service
vas never so badly wrecked as it is to-day.
Within six months mail has lain undistribut-
ed In this office until the rats have eaten holes
through the sacks. The difference between
the men appointed by Postmaster Jones and
those previously employed is radical. | dis
tlnctiy make a few exceptions from both
bodies, but In the aggrega the former en-
ployes were tidy. These are not. The
former had good bearing; these have not.
The former took pride in their work, and in
the high grade of their office; these care little
but for pay day, and in some way to get the
mail off their hands. The former were ex-
tremely careful these are careless TO exasper-
alton. The former were complete masters
of the work of the Office; these practically
never are. The former were thoroughly
skilled these are unskilled and have no de-
sire to become skilled. The former were
ruled by the Postmaster; these act and feel
independent of the Postmaster. The former
were not offensive partisans these are petty
politicians. This comparison could be car
ried further and into matters more offensive,
but it is sufficient to say that if the merit sys-
tenn irnpartially carried out, should produce
such results, the law would be better repealed.
Nearly all these facts have been brought
before the Administration, course which it
is useless to pursue further. The Admins
tration is not uniformed. 1t has never been
without an absolute and instantaneous RENE
dy. Its studied Indifference to violations of
law is the insolence of office and it is alike
insulting To civil service refOrmers and to the
people of Indiana"

A wicked Dover grocery man played a
trick on 'fussy" woman of that vicinity,
recently. She had just bought of him
barrel of flour that was not of her favorite
brand. The flour didn't suit. 1t was heavy,
coarse, black, sticky, and wouldn't rise
and she wanted it carried back. The grocer
whose opinion of the flour was different
from that of the lady carted it back, took off
the head of the barrel and replaced it with the
head of an empty one that had held the la
dy's favorite kind. and sent the same barrel,
thus "doctored," back to her. 1t suited to
charm, that time.

The signs OF Republican awakening and
determination appear in the extreme
South. With fair play and a protected
ballot there is little doubt that Florida
would be- Republican state. The Re
publican Convention of that State was
held last week in Ocaa with highly en-
couragiug Indications. The 200 delegates,
representing nearly every county in the
state, and the 1000 spectators made gath
ering that surprised the Democrats and
compelled their unwilling commentator
The ticket nominated, it is claimed, is Il
good one and there is reasonable pros
poet of electing it. The self-respectful
tone of the Convention will strike North
eru Republicans favorably. So long as
Southern Republicans sat down supinely
and did nothing but quarrel among them
selves and complain of the injustices which
they had to endure there was no hope of
building up anew the organization in that
section. But now that they are disposed
to help themselves there will be much
more willing disposition to extend them
aid. The Florida Republicans have set
an example which the Republicans in
every other southern state may well fol-
low.

The Christmas holidays are the most
dangerous of all the times of the year,
and it is not alone the mischief lurking
in highly seasoned turkeys, egg nog,
mince-pie, plum pudding and other
highly seasoned food, which derange
the epegastrum stomach and viscar,
producing complication Of terrible
diseases, but with names more terrible
than the disease, but the holidays
when the ubiquitous, unterrified and
untamable boy is lot loose for season
to afflict the earth with outlandish
noises and to burn down woodsheds,
stores, houses, etc., with Roman can
dies, rockets and other city destroying
pyrotcchnics, and to gather piles of in
fammable materials, and build fires
close to infammablc buildings and
making of himself dangerous torch
light procession. and it is, therefore, a
season Of general alarm which man
should contemplate with anxiety and
which he should provide against in

this long sentence by going to 7. d.

s,ov.men. Of Shot When Fired.

II man could only stand thirty or
forty yards away from the muzzle of the
gun and watch the charges of shot fly
past him. he would be astonished at what
he saw. Tho shot not only spreads out
into widening target as they fly, but
they string out one behind the other to a
much greater distance than they spread.
Thus, with cylinder gun. when the
first shot of u charge reach target that
is forty yards away the last shot are
tagging along ten yards behind. Even
with choke bored gun the shot lag be-
hind eight yards in forty. This accounts
for tho long swath that is moved in a
flock Of ducks on whom the charge Of
shot fall just right. About per cent.
only of the charge of shot arrive stimuli
taneously at the target, but the balance
of the first half of tho charge is so close
behind that birds muscles are not
quick enough to get 1t out of the way,
although those who have watched sitting
birds when shot Mt have often seen them
start as II tokay when the leading shot
whistled by them, only to drop dead as
they were overtaken by the leaden hail
that followed. New York Sun.
