DEAD JUDGE.
The whole world is reading how that
ex-Judge David s. Terry slapped Justice
Stephen J Field S face in a railroad res
tauraut at Lathrop. Cal, and was shot
dead by Deputy United States Marshal
Nagle Sarah Althea Hill-Terry, Of
whom we print likeness, was with her
husband, though not in the room when
the shooting took place. The clrcum-
stances of the shooting were involved IN
her career as one of the most eXtraOrdi-
nary women of the age. Sarah Althea
Hill was born at Cape Grandeur, Mo-,
III 1850. Her father was Samuel Hill,
an attorney, and her mother was Julian
Sloan, an heiTess. She inherited $50, 900
and was graduated from a convent.
Miss Hill was girl Of more than ordinary
personal beauty, but was regarded as vain
and selfish, anxious to excel III personal
charm. She was something of tilrt, ana
at one time had three engagements to
marry. Her engagement to marry a
Young man who has since become poll
tician of national fame, was broken,
which so preyed on tie young lady S
mind that in September, 1870, she bid
her native town adieu. and started with
the wreck of her fortune for California
A Young uncle named William Sloan ac-
cOmpanied her to the Pacific coast. He
was wealthy, and took his niece to his
mothers home Sarah and the Ole lady
did not live III harmony, and Mr.. Sloan
gave his niece fine suite Of rooms in a
prominent San Francisco hotel. 1t was
| there she met Senator Sharon. This was
| in 1880. In 1884 Miss Hill claimed to be
the wife of the Senator by virtue of
secret marriage, and sued fer divorce
| The defence was that no marriage had

termination for years in both state and

PICK AND SELL.
Cotton Will Command High Prices Until OctO-
Der 1.-The Reason.

ger line reason.
MONTGOMERY, ALA, Aug. 22.-Leh-
man, Durr & Co, cotton factors, have
issued circular in which they say;
1.-THE general cotton crop of the country
for the present year, 1889, promises to
be the largest ever produced in the
United States, but on account of there
being IN the stocks now carried by spin
ners so much poor cotton, they, the
spinners, will be compelled to buy of the
first picking this year in order to get a
better grade with which TO work off their
old stock, so that for a time, at least,
there will be good demand for the new
crop and at high prices. 1t looks reason
able to us that cotton will bring higher
prices from now until the lst of October
than at any other time during the next
season, and if this be true, then 1t be-
hooves producers to pick and get to
market every bale they can between this
and the lst of October in order to avail
themselves of the high prices likely to
prevail,

The road and bridge fund of the state
is derived from Il per cent tax levied
upon all cash sales of government lands.
At the close of the session of 1887, the
members of the legislature had intro
duced bills for roads and bridges
amounting to $4,000. As there was
only 5000 in the fund at that time, the
house committee on roads and bridges
had all of the bills indefinitely post
poned. In consequence, since 1885 the
state has been unable to give aid i'm this
direction. This year the road and bridge
fund amounts to but S25, 900, yet the
house committee on DIS and bridges
has before it bills to the amount of
S151, 900. The desk of Chairman A.
Davis, of the committee, is literally
filled with these bills. 1t will be mani
testify impossible for the state treasury
to meet these demands, so that the
death of all these measures IS probable.

THE CHICAGO ELECTION.

The Chicago election yesterday was
in the nature of landslide. Mayor
ROCHE, who went into office two years
ago on reform platform by a majority
of 10000, was rejected at yesterdays
election by majority OF $4,000
for his Democratic competitor. The
result was mainly due to local causes;
and yet, at the same time, the
great Democratic victory serves as
rebuke to the HARRISON administra-
ton. Chicago is the chief city of Illi-
nois, and Illinois has been wofully
overlooked in the distribution of federal
patronage. Still. there was never more
complete travesty on reform municipal
administration than Mayor ROCHE gave
to Chicago. 1t was whited sepulcher,
clean enough to outward appearances,
but full of corruption within; and, al
though nearly the entire press of Chi
cago had been roped into support of the
ROCHE regime. there was an utter fail
ure in the effort to convince the people
of the city that the ROCHE administra-
ton deserved to be perpetuated. The
fact is, Chicago has been dead as her.

INFLATED CURRENCY.

The government every month buys 81
100000 of silver and transmutes it into
coin that passes at its face value for
s2,S00,000. That looks like a pretty fair
speculation-a gain of 100000 month,
less the small cost of coming. The sill
yer producers are trying to have the
amount doubled. When they succeed
there will seem to be profit of 81. 6OO,-
600 a month. But the government can
not create financial values. Every dol
lar it obtains must come from some
pocket. If there SIS but 72 to rs cents
worth of silver in dollar, some one
will some time have to lose the short
age. 1t will be the holder of the coin,
unless the government steps in with
the money it has eXacted from the pub
lie without recompense. In an indiyid-
ual such transaction would exile him
from the classes that truly good presi-
dent likes to have standing around him.
The larger the amounts of silver coined,
the sooner will the crisis in silver arrive.
There is more of the coin turned out
now than the country is able to absorb.

OLD SORES.

The special friends OF the late Gen.
LOGAN are reported to be faring poor
ly in the distribution at Washington.
Before his death the BLAINE people
had no love for the old soldier, and his
wife has expressed her belief that their
prosecutions fastened his death. 1t
was known that in the contest in 1884
the relations of the two candidates
were stra1ned,a and even the urgent party
need hardly diverted the public eye.
The feeling infected some of the closer
friends of the champions and chieftains.
1t will be remembered that one of the
most active stumpers in that campaign
was Col. DOMAIN. He was one of the
body guard of LOGAN when he swung
around the circle, and spoke from the
rail car platform at all the stations
under the eye of the candidate for the
second place, and yet at no time did he
ever say word in favor of BLAINE.
Ii others were less honest, the feeling
was still evident. DOMAIN will not be
in danger of having to decline an Office
from the administration, not at least
within the eyesight of BLAINE. He
does not forget events or people.

STATE CIVIL SERVICE.

Having been recommended by the
house Judiciary committee, it is proba-
bic that the DAVIS civil service bill will
pass that branch OF the legislature, with
a prospect that it may go through the
senate-not so much because the men,
bers are in favor of the measure as that
they are afraid openly to oppose any
thing that is denominated civil service
reform. The DAVIS bill follows closely
after the federal law on that subject.
and is intended to apply the civil service
principles in the operation of the ma
chinery of our state and municipal gov
ernments. We do not propose to waste
time in discussing civil service reform
as an abstract proposition. nor are we
inclined to question the correctness of
the theory. AS theory it is all right.
but when we come to view it in the
light of practicability, the question as
sumes different phase. So far as the
experiment has been made in our fed
eral system. it has proved to be very
little short of farce. 1t has wholly
failed to eradicate the spoils system, or
even to improve the civil service. With
the change of each administration some
preteXt is found to evade the spirit of
the law. Then, again, the examinations
have turned out to be such faretcal
affairs as not only to provoke general
ridicule, but have been the means of
exciting a positive opposition to every
thing that Savors of civil service reform.
If it has been found impracticable to
ON nj vii -, ~,
eral government, it is folly to talk about
putting it into operation in a state gov
eminent. The state and municipal
governments are more distinctive illus
trationS of the home rule idea, and con-
sequently the people are more Jealous
of their prerogatives in respect to them
than TO the complex federal system.
They want absolute control of their
local affairs, and want no Intervention
of commissions or anything else to
tighten or diminish the responsibility
of those who hold public office. We
are therefore inclined to tine opinion
that such law as that contemplated by
the DAVIS bill would be so unpopular
as to render it practically imperative.
A particularly faulty feature of the
DAVIS bill is that provision which pro-
poses to vest in the state civil service
commission the power to control and
regulate the municipal offices. Each
municipality is government to Itself,
and is as much entitled to protection
from state interference as the. state gov
erDment is to protection f1om federal
interference. The successful admin
istration OF a municipal government
depends so entirely upon the proper
management of the various depart
ments, the heads of those departments
