and the objection is braced by the absence
of common sense. Should there be, by any
manner of means, a refugee caught in the
act and turned adrift no one takes charge OF
or watches him. He is free as bird and
only nine miles from Memphis. Two
hours of good walking will land him at
Court square, provided he makes for that
point Then. again, he may circulate
among the inhabitants out there, spreading
his infection, and there is not the slightest
protection beyond the endangered party $

made by them that unless it is discontinued
the railroad tracks will be torn up. Fears

The Chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee replied with great force to the
assertion that high wages depended on the
tariff, and presented the statistics to show
that wages in America were high because
American laborers did more work. he said |:

The Civil Service Commission.

RETURN OF NIB. EDGERTON-wHAT rs SAID ABOUT
FILLING THE VACANCY on THE BOARD.
Civil-service Commissioner Edgerton has re-
turned to his desk and his official duties after
an absence from both Of nearly three months.
While he was away the entire weight of the
commission rested on the shoulders of Com
missioner Lyman, who is now relieved Of por-
ton of the burden. The vacant place in the
board has not yet been filled. and some of the
knowing politicians say it will not be until
the new administration comes into power. It
has been stated that President Cleveland will
not make the appointment because it might
complicate affairs for his successor. If demo-
crat were appointed now the board would
stand two democrats to one republican, and
that condition of affairs would probably
be regarded as unsatisfactory after March
4. Somebody would have to go, and it might be
that the new man would be the victim; although
this is by no means certain. If President
Cleveland were to appoint a republican he
would stand in the attitude Of one who
desired to make up civil service
commission which could not be disturbed
by President Harrison. Rumor has it that the
powers-that-be have not looked too kindly
upon Mr.. Edgerton for some time past Just
why this is SO would probably be hard to ex-
plain; but that it is so is generally recognized.
Mr.. Edgerton's continued absence from his
desk has not allayed the irritation. and it NAV
be that the democratic commissioner will vol
UNFAIRLY move out and thus give President
Cleveland an opportunity to appoint man
whom he would like to have stay on the board
during the Harrison administration.

Assaulted by a Young Tough.

GLEN COVE EXCITED OVER AN OUTRAGE ON A
PRETTY LITTLE GIRL.
GLEN Cove, L. l., Nov. 30.-Great excite
ment prevails here over a brutal assault COM
United about 6 o'clock last night. Mary
Cooney, pretty girl of twelve, was walking
about quarter of a mile from her fathers
house. when she was acosted by Buck" Flynn,
a tough. aged twenty, who after making an i'm
proper proposal which was resented
by the girl. knocked her down and criminally
assaulted her. The girls screams attracted
attention of some persons residing near by,
upon whose approach Flynn ran off. John
Holmes assisted the girl to her home, where
she became historical. and is still suffering
from prostration. Up to noon to-day no trace
OF Flynn had been obtained.
