INDIAN COMMISSIONER OBERLY is one of those who believe that bird in the hand is worth dozen in the bush. He had a comfortable berth~on the civil service com mission, but an increase in salary of $500 took him to the Indian bureau. He would now be willing to return to the civil service commission, since President Cleveland has been defeated, and it is not unlikely that he will again be made a member, There will, of course, be a good many hungry republicans looking for his present berth after March 1, whereas he might be allowed to remain on the civil service commission undisturbed. Oberly knows a good thing when he sees it.

HARRISON AS A REFORMER.

There is nothing in the public record or private performances of President-elect Harrison that need discourage the hungry republicans who are signing for the flesh pots of government office. His career as a statesman has not been that of professed civil service reformer. There is little evidence to show that the spells system has ever evoked his regret or his hostility, or that he has over worked for it's reform. In the senate he even refused to go as far as many members of his party in favor of civil service reform. He favored some of the features of the reform law, but opposed the abolition of political assessments. It was this very abuse of the civil service that first called attention to the evils that permeated the system and gave life to the sentiment for it's reformation. The Jay Hubbellism of the time disgusted the country, but General Harrison saw no inn propriety in it and was opposed to any in reference with the methods in vogue.
 Personally Harrison while in the senate was most persistent spells hunter. He was always at work for his friends, always seeking some place for his henchmen, and his active struggle for offices provoked the sarcasm even of Blaine, who once re- marked: "Why, Harrison has applied for thirteen more, ,consulships than there are op the whole list" His persistency in hunting for spells was standing guy at Washington. There is no evidence that he entertains different notions now concerning the civil service. True, in his letter of acceptance of the republican nomination he uttered some gilded plati tudes about fitness rather than party ser vice being the discriminating test of of fcial appointments and service, and that only the interests of the public service should suggestTemovals from office. These things all sounded very neat and very pretty, but they deceived nobody. The alacrity with which the hungry politicians have been poking into the crib is proof positive that his shining generalities were swallowed with very comfortable grain of qualification. Nobody regards Harrison asa civil service reformer-he is true chip of his party block. And that's why the republicans rejoice.
 The offices will be parceled out to the men whose party services have made them the highest bidders. Make no mistake about that

Sbc Mentioned Her Poem.

She glided into the office and quietly ap- preached the editors desk.
 ''I have written a poem"-she began.
 "Well" exclaimed the editor with 8 look and tone intended to annihilate, but she wouldn't annihilate worth cent, and re- sumed:
 'T have written poem on My Fathers Barn. and"--
 "Oh!" interrupted the editor with ex- traordinary suavity, 'you don't know how relieved I feel. A poem written on your fathers barn, eh9 I was afraid it was writ ten on paper and that you wanted me to publish it. If I should ever happen to drive past your fathers barn I'll stop and read the poem. Good afternoon, miss. ."-Detroit Free Press

WOMEN seem to be the Jonahs of the white house. Cleveland never met defeat in politics until after his marriage with Miss Folsom, and it is recalled that for the fifth time the democracy has failed to win a presidential election with a married man at the head of the ticket. Buchanan, Til den and Cleveland were successful, while Mcclellan, Seymour, Greeley, Hancock and Cleveland (after he got married) were beaten. Perhaps David Bennett HiV will be the next president if he remains 8 bach elor

THE pensioners of the south are not quite so we'll off as those who draw their pensions from the federal government. The pension law of South Carolina, for instance. proves that the state is entirely unequal to the drain made on it's resources from this source, and it is not unlikely that the law will be repealed at the next session of the legislature It's hard luck for the pensioners and renewed evidence that they fought on the wrong side.

No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason & Hamlin, Boardman Sc Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs.

CHioAGo. June 2l.-It was 4:25 p. m.,
when Congressman Hosr. Of Saginaw, in
response 10 the roll call OF Michigan, arose
and said: Michigan has a candidate TO
present, and Robert f. Frazer will present
him." The Michigan delegation arose and
waved flags and handkerchisfs, while their
men cheered from the gallery and every
part of the house. Mr.. Frazer proceeded
slowly for about three minutes, and when
be mentioned Alger's name. instantly the
Michigan delegation jumped up and with a
tiger yell set of more enthusiasm than had
yet been diplayed in the hall. Halt the
Kansas delegation were yelling and cheer
ing, as were also delegates from Alabama.
Montana and other States. The colored
delegates all over the house were yelling for
Alger. and when the first burst of
enthusiasm had died away. Joe Jacobs. OF
Ann Arbor, who occupied a seat half way
up the first gallery, jerked of bis coat and
vest and waving them wildly in the air
proposed three cheers for Algez. The
gallery yelled itself hoarse with ~ cheers

Hes all Rightv' Mayor Wstson's
whisper" was heard all over the hall as
Frazier said, "Alger stood nearer the
hearts of the old soldiers than any man in
America" Your right" yelled Watson.
Frazier's speech was business speech for 8
business man. and the yells and cheers that
followed it lasted for some minutes. When
order had been restored Charles J. Moves,
Speaker of the Massachusetts, House of Re-
presentatives, arose and seconded the nomi-
nation of Alger in an excellent
speech. He was followed by Patrick Egan,
of Nebraska, whose speech was loudly APP
plauded. General Estes, of Nor th Carolina,
spoke of Alger as a soldier. being inter
rupted at every sentence with cheers and
yells of approval. Eggers, of Arizona, came
forward amid yells of let everybody talk"
He said he only wanted 10 say a word.
This was greeted with cat call yells Of sp-
proyal. laughter and Kisses, and the repre-
sentative of the wild and woody West had
much difficulty in proceeding with bis
rather queer speech. Really the note
worthy speech of the afternoon in my opin-
ion was that of the man with the magnif-
