THE MILLS oFTHE GODs. If the mills
Of the gods are at last beginning toI
grind in the Flack case land the resig-
nation Of Court Clerk Jarvis looks a
little that way it is but a pious hope
that they may not only grind exceeding
small. but continue their work till the
C are satisfied that the end Of the
4 prist has been reached. There can be
no question as to how far the work Of
purging and publication ought to pro-
coed. A stain has been put upon the
institution which is the community =
chief safeguard and refuge. Who have
been instrumental IN placing 1t there
Tie question must be answered and the
guilty ones must suffer.-N. y. Tribune.

RUMoRED BOND TRUsT.-The largest
purchase of bonds i'm single day since
President Harrison entered the White
House was made yesterday. There are
persistent TumOrs that a huge bond
trust is being formed to mulct the gov
eminent. Ii is not likely that such an
enterprise could be successful. Score
tary WINDOW is hardly the man to be
cornered by that sort of trickery.
As the purpose of the government i'm

HYPOCRIsY.-Hyp1crlsy and mean
ness seem to be the leading character
istics of the present administration in
dealing with the classified service un-
der the civil service law. 1t is Of the
very essence of the purpose Of the law
that no distinction whatever shall b.
made among those in the service on ac-
count Of politics. and that all who per.
form their duties faithfully shall feel
secure. So far as The classified service
is concerned there should be no cOgnI-
zance of politics either in those holding
positions or those apply ing for them

THE REPUBLICAN TAX RULE.-The /
Tribune. Bourbon of BourbOns, thick /
and thin monopoly. cuts the ground /
from under Mr.. Scott 5 strangely conf
dent feet, and likewise Xom under the
whole fabric of free government. by a
simple discovery that the constitution
lis of no consequence This being
the case, taxes will no longer be levied
by the representatives of the tax pay
ers; they will hereafter be levied by
the tax eaters. which simphfies things
amazingly. The ancient rule that the
people alone shall originate their own

the kind, but the quantity. will be re-
