MURPHY IS FOR HARRISON.
The Son of the Temperance Advocate will
Stump for tho Ticket.

PlTrsBuRGH, July 5.-Edward Muir
ply, son of the famous apostle of gospel
temperance, Francis Murphy, will take
the stump this fall for Harrison and
Morton. He will make his opening
speeches in Indiana, where the Muir
phys are personally popular, and is ex-
pected to do effective service for the Re.
publican ticket. The elder Murphy will
probably take no part in the campaign,
though his sympathies as man are
with the Republicans.
Until four years ago Mr.. Murphy's en-
gagements to deliver temperance lee
lures were made through the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. When
st. John was nominated for President
Mr.. Murphy's headquarters were in
Chicago with the Temperance Union.
The ladies promptly attempted to press
him into the Prohibition service, but as
he is for gospel temperance pure and
simple, he declined. The Union, there
fore, ordered him to take his correspond
ence away. Ever since then the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union has
boyCottcd Francis Murphy all over the
United States and in Canada, and he
has waged his campaigns without their
aid. He is now in Kentucky, but will
hold aloof from politics.

attempted to assassinate Thomas Greg
ory, an engineer on the Chicago, Bur-
lington & Quincy Railroad last night
near the Sixteenth street bridge. The
late strike on the Burlington is supposed
to have been the cause. The stranger
approached Gregory and said, Now l
have got you" He then fired three
shots and ran away. One shot hit
Gregory in the face under his right eye
and broke his nose. He was taken TO
the county hospital, and will probably

of the editor formed from the letters is
sci forth in his own words.

1.-THE concensus of letters is oyeTwhelm-
lugly strong against early marriages. Our
law ought we think, to forbid marriage of
young men under 81 and to young women
under 10. Among the working classes, es-
pec1ally. this would produce, we believe,
an excellent effect. Then, also, tits clear to
our mind that the law of divorce must be
enlarged to permit dissolution of marriage
for desertion, for lunacy, flor confrmt in
ebrity, for conviction of disgraceful crimes.
and likewise for established incompatible
ity of temper and temperament such as
just and prudent Judge would admit to be
adequate. That the marriage service, as 1t
nov stands, calls also for alter alton, has
been abunoautly demonstrated by these let
tiers, and the sooner his grace the prlmate
finishes with the Athanasian creed and
turns his attention to the passages in that
service which shock young minds and dis
concert older ones, the better
And vet all these letters prove nei-
Their that marriage is failure nor q
success.

AN Iowa paper says the protective
tariff laws, in twenty years, brought
down the number of sheep in that State
from 100000 to 244,0O0. 1t has also
reduced the number of WOODEN factories
from eighty-five to thirty-four in the
same time. Seeing the evil which the
high tariff is bringing upon the great
industry, the owners of two wooden
mills in the First Congressional district,
the one Republican the other Dem
ocrat, have united in request to the
Republican member of Congress from
the district to support the wool clause
in the Mills bill.

BURKE AT WORK.

The Dubois strikers in Idaho have
been insisting that Hon. J. M. Burke,
who was a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Delegate to Congress,
was not in sympathy with Mr.. Hawley,
and that he would not take part in the
campaign. In the Territorial Demo
cratic Convention Mr.. Burke asked that
a plank be inserted in the platform
protesting against a reduction of the
tariff on lead; but his request was not
granted, the convention not deeming it
wise or advisable. The Republicans
then promptly proclaimed that Mr..
Burke would at most give the ticket
and party only inactive support, and
this in face of the fact that the gentle
man publicly proclaimed in the con-
vention that he would do his utmost for
Mr.. Hawley. Mr.. Burke seems too good
Democrat to permit his personal dis
appointments to change his principles,
or destroy his fidelity TO party.

Nothing has occurred since the conYen-
ton to indicate that he is otherwise than
true to his party and to Mr.. Hawley,
and last week he formally opened the
campaign in his county, which there
is little doubt of his ability to carry
for the Democracy. Mr.. Burke is per-
haps as well up in the politics Of North
1dsho as any man who can be named.
and he says that Mr.. Hawley will GER
tainly carry the five northern counties.
AS 1t is equally certain that the
southern counties will give the Demo-
cratic nominee handsome majorities,
the outlook for Mr.. Dubois can not be
regarded as otherwise than exceedingly
gloomy and depressing.

The SHORTEST and best letter of &C
ceptance is the one written by Judge
Thurman. 1t consists of check for
$1,000 payable to the treasurer of the
Democratic National committee, the
money to be expended for campaign
purposes. Having written this letter
it will not be necessary for the Old
Roman to write any other. The dccu-
ment proves that Thurman's Democracy
is all right, and that he endorses both
the platform and the ticket.

THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.

In the United States Senate last week,
two speeches were delivered which ex-
pressed the popular sentiment in refer
ence to that humbug known as the civil
service reform law. Senator Salisbury
is Democrat and he said he chad not
much respect for civil service reform.
He believed that the party in power
ought TO see that its agents were men
of capacity, of integrity, of honesty
and of fidelity. That was the kind OF
civil service reform that he believed in.
If he had the power he would repeal
the civil service statute and revoke
every order made underit."
Senator Stewart. of Nevada, is one OF
the most pronounced Republicans, and
in the course of his speech he said he
had come to the conclusion that the
civil service law was bad one, and that
it ought to be repealed. TWAS law to
promote dupliclty and lying-a law, the
very execution of which would breed a
race of rascals. Under it there was no
responsibility anywhere. He knew OF
no better class of men to hold RESPONSE
BILE for good appointments than mem
bers and Senate who made the recon-
mendations under the old system. He
thought that an act of oblivion ought to
be passed at the present session of Con-
gress and the old system reverted to, so
that the responsibility for appoint
ments might be fixed"
We believe these two gentlemen ex-
pressed the majority sentiment of their
respective parties. If Democrats and
Republicans in Congress had the codr-
age which men in their position should
enjoy they would promptly strike from
the books q statute which not only
hampers an administration in the per-
Torrance of its duties, but compels
public service that is not as efficient as
it should be, and is less responsible to
the people than it ought to be. The
appointing power is presumed to be re-
sponsible for its appointees, but in de-
priving the administration of the right
to appoint subordinates of its own
selection, the responsibility is also re-
moved to a great extent. Further
more, the officials and employees
obtained under the civil service law and
rules are also less efficient than would
be the men selected by the responsible
head of department. 1t is no guaran-
tee that man will be good and cap
able clerk or official because he can
pass creditable civil service examina-
ton, write fair hand, spell certain
number of words, and tell something Of
the geography of the world. School boys
can do all these things. and distance
clear headed, capable men in contes
before a civil service examining COM
mittee.
The reason the humbug law is mo-
repealed, and the administration left tt
manage the affairs of the nation by
agents and employees of its own selec,
ton is found in the fear which poll,
ticians entertain for the handful o
Mugwumps and purists who are vel
enough in theory but awfully lame il
practice. The party that will abolish
the law will serve the country best ant
we believe will win the loudest praise

IT Is straight, manly talk like this
from the Keystone Ketchum, which is
putting the friends of Dubois to the
rout:
We take great pleasure in assuring the
Boise Statesman that this paper has nothing
to retract from it's utterances in reference
to the mormon delegates" We do not,
however, desire to have the Statesmen un-
derstand that our Interpretation of the
word Mormon" Is necessarily "polyg-
amist" or any other SYMBOL of disloyal citl-
zenship. While We should regret greatly to
learn that polygamist had gained access to
either Territorial convention, we know of
no reason Why any law-abiding citizen,
whether be be of the Mormon or Methodist
persuasion, should be denied his rights as
such We would suggest just here that the
Statesman cannot drum up" Republican
who has done much more 20 make loyal cit
iSens out of Mormons than the Hon. James
Il. Hawley, the present democratic nominee
for Delegate to Congress.

many of them were trivisl in their char
