The Commissioner IN Earnest.
New York Tribune

The Civil Service commission is
doing admirable work. It's report
upon the methods governing the eX-
aminatiOns in the New York custom
house under the late Democratic adj
ministratIOn breatheS honesty and
sincerity in every line, and is an assu-
rance that so long as the present COM
mission remains in office the law will
be administered not onlyin good faith
but with vigor. Therecommendation
of the entire commission that two
clerks implicated in the recent dis
closures be removed, and of two of the
commissioners that still another be
dropped, and the announcement that
the case of one will be presented to
the Uniteds.States attorney for this
district with a view to criminal, suit
will have most excellent effect.
In THE great encomiums heaped
upon the Paris exposition the New
Orleans Times-Democrat sees the out
growth of the sowing of the great New
Orleans cotton exposition of lSS4-5,
and counsels Americans not to lose
sight of that fact. Particularly does
New Orleans claim that the founda-
ton for the great educational exhibit
of 1889 at Paris was laid in her educa-
tional exhibit of five years since.
There is good ground for this claim on
the part of the Crescent city, and
there is no doubt that the report made
by the United States commissioner of
education of that 1884 display, with
his comments thereon, have borne
good fruit in this Paris exhibit.

raphy is to have trained dog who at a
.-iven signal viii run and pull string
bv means of which the slide OF an in
spontaneous camera is worked. so that
his master may be taken in group or
alone as often as he pleases. 1t is Of
course necessary TO start the creature at
a distance sufficiently great to give the
master time TO rearrange his features
after giving the word. but this is not a
difficult thing to manage. and the young
man who devised the trick has been ex-
ceedingly popular at the seaside hotel
where he has passed the summer, as all
the pretty and most of the plain young
ladies in the house were anxious to have
their pictures taken by the agency Of the
clever little bull terrier which served as
his assistant.
One is prepared for anything nova
days. and it may be that it will not be
long before the dogs are seen running
about with detective cameras upon their
own account. II would not be a bad
idea to furnish a watch dog with fash
light detective camera, and thereby he
may take the picture Of any villain who
invades the domain which he is set to
guard. The picture would be an inter-
esting piece of evidence in a trial for
burglary, and if it did not carry a con-
viction it would not fail at least of pro
ducing a sensation.-Boston Courier.
