THE Fairmont Sentinel correctly sa,


We are sorry to notice a disposition
on the part of few newspapers to cast
aspersions upon SenatorSabin on account
of his recent action In procuring a di-
vorce from his wife, and some of them
80 far overstep the bounds of decency as
to insinuate that Mr.. Sabin has used un-
lawful means to procure the separation
and that his wife Is prisoner ins pri-
vate insane asylum with no means OF
communication with the outside world.
This is not only wild and foolish talk
but it is cruel and unwarranted. What
ever else may be said of Senator Sabin
no one can charge him with being any.
thing but kind, generous and sympa,
thetic in every instinct of his head and
heart. He Is incapable of the conduct
charged, and the cold, brutal accusa'
tions must CRATE harshly upon his sensi
tive nature in his hour of misfortune
and sorrow. If there were less cold
blooded sensationalism and more of the
milk of human kindness displayed in
our newspapers the world would bt
better and happier.

POSSIBLY it is not SO much the presi
dent as ex-Corporal Tanner who was
aiming to please himself in the removal
of Squires as confidential Secretary to
give place to his daughter. If Squlres
had been holding under a Democratic
administration, a scandal would have
shocked good Republican editors and
statesmen. This Squires insulted one OF
his female clerks, and wrote her indie
cent letters, and it was a local sensation.
Then he went in cahoots with pension
attorneys to get their jobs through, and
blundered SO that it became public. Be-
ing high-toned reform administration
this did not look just the thing, espec-
tally as the place was handy for one OF
the Tanner family just out of school,
Globe.
Well, he was pretty summarily
bounced, wasn't he? And his mis-con-
duct and combines were not allowed
to continue on several years as was the
case with several employees of the last
Democratic administration. AS for the
fling at Mr.. Tanner, if all YOU can bring
against him 40 chat no has u daughter with
brains and industry enough TO fill the
important position she has been given,
you will not make the American public
believe he is very bad man.

SUPT. PORTER, of the census bureau,
has had several interviews with the Pre-
sident the last few days. The last time
he was accompanied by Secretary Noble.
Mr.. Noble has been trying to convince
his bureau should not be placed under
the civil service restrictions. An official
of the civil service commission said that
Mr.. Porter's efforts would be futile, and
the President had practically decided
upon the matter, and census appointees
would have to be civil service scholars.
Mr.. Porter upon hearing the remark to-
day said that if the President had so de.
cided he was not aware of it, and he be-
lieved that with the facts before him he
would not so decide.-Washington letter.
Any sensible person ought to know
that it Is supreme nonsense to make the
men who are to be employed to take
the census go through the farce of a civil
service examination. What is there in
that examination that will better fit a
man for counting the number of citizens

THOSE great Chicago detectives have
now discovered fellow who not only
saw the trunk containing Dr. Cronin's
body brought from the cottage, but was
allowed to follow up the mysterious
wagon and see the body dumped in the

THE change i'm rule No. 10 OF the civil

time of their dismissal. The rule before

How nearly the Chicago Inter- Ocean

good people not TO be worried over the
vote on prohibition in Pennsylvania OIL

more in temperance to-day than ever
before. They simply believe there is q
better way TO promote it than by max
ing constitutions and laws to prohibit be.
fore public sentiment is strong enough
to enforce. High license, with loca! op.
ton, permitting every locality that is
ripe for the reform to enforce it, meets
the demand of the hour, and third party
advocates who fail to see it are blind.
The sooner they again set about teach
ing more Temperance and less politics
the better.

THE U. S. District Attorneyship still
hangs fire, and the outcome will likely
not be known before the chilly winds OF
November set in, if indeed it is before
the commencement of the new year.
Senator Washburn is backing Eugene
Hay with all the energy at his command,
and in this he has no doubt the assist
ance of the Hon. Tim Byrnes and the
best wishes of Secretary Window. Ad-
ded to this combination he enjoys the
personal acquaintance of President Har-
rison, and it is not too much to say that
he starts the first quarter in the race
with decided advantage. But with all
this he has in Attorney Stevenson a foe
worthy his steel. Senator Davis will
yield to no one his determination to
stand for his friend, and having set out
to aid Mr.. Stevenson in securing the
much coveted Office of District Attorney,
he will remain steadfast and firm,
whether he miss or not. In this fight,
and without one word of disparagement
toward Mr.. Hay, who is a thorough gen.
tleman ana -.i,ic iawyer, the "coun-
try delegate" sends forth his wish that
Senator Davis may win with Mr.. Steen-
erson. Not because it is Mr.. Stevenson
against Mr.. Hay, nor vet because 1t is
Senator Davis against Senator Wash
burn, but because Minneapolis has had
her full share of the good things under
this administration, and the country is
quite deserving. st. Paul, too, has been
used very literally. For instance, Min
neapolis has U. S. senator, congress-
man, chief clerk of the U. S. senate, APP
pointment clerk of the U. s. treasury
department, a foreign minister, besides
several smaller positions, and now for
her to claim another foreign minister, a
U. S. district attorney, internal revenue
collector, and dozen or 80 other good
places is, to say the least, crowding the
mourners little severely. st. Paul is
honored with having U. S. senator,
governor, chief boiler inspector, and
several other plums, and of course her

is just about time to call halt and seri-
ously, if it is not done soon there Is like
ly TO be big turning over of some of
the gentlemen who are manipulating the
machine in manner 30 dlstasteful to all
fair minded Republicans whether in the
country or in the cities. The stand
which Senator Davis has taken in sup
port of rural candidates for Office is deci-
dedly to his credit, and he should have
all the encouragement and moral back
ing possible to render, in support of his
position.

THE Canadian Minister of Justice is
authority for the statement that the
Weldon extradition act passed by the
Dominion Parliament will certainly re-
ceive the imperial sanction, and that it
will be declared retroactive. This i'm
portant piece of news will strike the
Doodle colony in Canada with the force
of a cyclone. Assuming that the Minis
ter is right, and he ought to know, it
will break up their more or less profta-
BILE business connections and their more
or less pleasurable social relations, and
send them flying to the ends of the
earth for safety. There must be one
hundred or more of them In all, includ-
ing representatives of almost every Sec
ton of the country, who will thus be
put within reach of United States JUS
tice, and we may be sure that very few
of them will take the chances of not be-
ing disturbed. The law was passed to
relieve Canada of the odium of being a
sanctuary for thieves. Canada will take
La great deal of satisfaction in handing
over these fugitives to United States of
ficers and our own government would
do we'll to reciprocally enlarge the Unit
ed States extradition laws.

THE fifth amendment to the constitu-

amendment, was Thursday repealed by
a vote of 5,469 more than the three
fifths of the total vote necessary to carry
the amendment. The total vote is: APP
prove, 2S,449; reject, 1858. In 1886,
