There is sensible man down in Georgia who
positively declines to serve on the Coroners jury
which sundry previous Democratic newspapers
have summoned to sit the remains of MIR.
Randall The man in question is the editor OF
THE Atlanta Constitution and the reason he
gives for declining TO take part in the oosequies
is forcible one. 1t is his firm conviction that
Mr.. Randall is quick and not dead. The Con-
stution7 reminds whom it may concern that on
several occasions Mr.. Randall has been handed
over to the partys coroner, only to have the
notifying discovery made that the corpse was
loaded. Mr.. Randall, as it appears" says The
Constitution" is again engaged in passing, but
when the critical period comes he will respond"
Gentlemen who have charge Of Mr. RandalPs
funeral arrangements would do well TO lay these
words 10 heart. The penalty for burying man
alive is very heavy in ali the States
Representative Spinola says that the Civil
Service law is relic of Federalism" and Repre-
sentative Whitthornc declares that Republican
officials have been removed en- the ground Of in
efficiency" which consisted in nothing but their
Republicanism. Both statements were heartily APP
plauded by Democrats. What better proof is
needed to show the necessity of having the civil
Service law administered by its friends, if it is
not to remain the farccal affair that it has been
during the term of Office Of its professed friend,
who was elected mainly on the strength Of his
promises in this very matter?
few weeks ago it stated that a circular
was on its travels cOuched in this strikingly fig
urative language
David B. HIPS plurality for Lieutenant-Gov-
Nav ork was 1864
David B. Hnps plurality fol- Governor was Il,I34
Grover Cleveland's plurality for President was 1O47
1t is not known who prepared the circular. 1t
could not have been Mr.. Hill, for we all know he
has been kept busy examining the enactments OF
the Legislature Neither Is it known why it was
prepared. II intended to influence the action OF
the National Deinocratic Convention, it came too
late, Mr.. Cleveland having got the delegates be
fore it was promulgated. II intended to mako
the Eew-YoIk State Convention Of next fall solid
for the denomination Of Hll-but then we all
know that the Governor is anxious to retire from
politics and resume the practice OF law Why,
then, was the circular issued2 Perhaps there's
cryptogram concealed in It,

to the suggestive and lovely fact that the recent
Democratic convention which mot in this city
formally indorsed the Administration of the truly

A gentleman who evidently believes In emphatic
EXPRESSION remarked the other day at church
meeting " il an angel came down from above and
filed our pulpit for six months and the congrega-
ton diminished, l would say, Shoot lily away.
1t is painful to think that any church goer would
deliberately hurt the feelings Of high-wornng
angel simply because the angel failed to draw
large congregation. They manage these things
more considerably in Montana. in one of whose

Mr.. Cleveland has been doing and saying to the
Civil Service reformers since be became President
