he is going TO do about ciyii-serylce hum
bug. 10 really begins 10 look Is II that
species Of monkey business. which did more
than ANYTHING else TO make Clcyeland's Ad-
ministrstiou appear ridiculous, is going 10
be walked on. II ought 10 be, for the
American people never bad more hYpo-
critical humbug ssddled upon them than the
80 called PendletOn ciyil-service reform
law. Prominent Republicans say that
the Harrison Administration will not have
the slightest faint Of mugwumpeTy about II.

wtmps let him read low the saucy uoid-oSer

To the Editor Of the Press:
1t is somewhat rare that phenomenal de-
yelopment in art Of child, eliminates in a
proporionate degree in maturity. The most
illustriotls exceptions, however, are In the
"Divine art of music" One instance of re-
markable musical gifts In almost infancy
was Miss Grace Haskell, who, during the
past weef- nude her very successful debut in
her native State at the Bowdoin College
commencing mt concert. This charming
young artist tells me she was born In Port
land, Me-, October 6. 1870, but removed to
Brooklyn, N. Y. when very young, and be
tween che age of IA and Is she began her vo-
cal studies with the famous Italian teacher
Signor Achilli Errani of New York city,
who has been her only instructor Her
voice Is sweet and full, pure, clear and Sc
sonant "She was great vocal SURPRISE"
and her modest and unasSuming manner
won the hearts of her audience. She is beau
tiful in appearance, and unless the best
critics are mistaken, has a great future be.
fore her. We feel proud of her as a daugh.
ter of Maine, and the young lady's progress
will be carefully watched by the friends of
her parents who are old residents of Brupss

1t Is comparatively seldom that a coroner's
jury makes any suggestions worth listening
too. An exception is the report of a coroner
OF Norwich, Conn.,, who investigated the
death of q brakeman who was killed by fall
ling from car. The coroner reports
that the lives Of brakemen are
needlessly exposed, and makes some sug-
gestions which are practical and humane.
LET cars" he says, "be constructed with a
short platform at either end. where the
brakeman can stand and operate his brake.
Then construct walk about foot wide
from and near the brake along the side of
the car, with an iron rod or rail to prevent
falling off, so that brakeman can start out
OF the caboose and set his brakes from car
to car without peril of life or limb. Freight
cars may average eight feet or mere, so that
such safe walk may reduce the capacity of
the ear for freight at the most only one
eighth, requiring about nine cars instead of
eight for the same capacity of freight, and
in the same ratio for any train, so that by
adding two or more cars to freight train
the lives of brakemen would be as safe as if
inside. If greedy stockholders kick at this
reduction of capacity, let them kick. The
country and humanity will approve"

The Republicans of Delaware have
brought action before the court Of errors
and appeals to test the constitutionality of
the Democratic assessment law, under which
Republicans have been DISTINGUISHED by
thousands for years. The bill was passed at
the instance of Thomas F. Bayard, who was
then United States Senator and needed
Democratic legislature to return him to that
body, for the avowed purpose of disfranchis-
ing Republicans. Senator Higgins spoke on
the 10Th inst, for the Republicans, and ar
gued the unconstitutioDality of the bill, and
Its violation Of the 14th amendment to the
constitution of the United States. Senator
Gray argued the constitutionality of the
law. and the case was submitted, but de-
cision will not be rendered until next Janu-
airy term. The court is composed of four
Democrats and one Republican and Senator
Higgins's object would have been attained
If the decision is SO rendered that he can
take the case to the United States Supreme
Court.
