A Hint 10 Quay

Senators Quay and Sherman lately
struck trade by which an Ohio man
was TO get an important bureau in
Washington and Pennsylvania, Mr..
GilkesOn, was TO get a like position
Quay regarded the matter as settled,
and when he heard, a few DAYS later,
that the place that he had bargained for
was given to SheTman's man without
any reciprocity to Quay's man, our lit
tie Napoleon kicked up his heels at both
Shermen and the President and is now
reported as inclined to sulk in his tent.
1t is obvious that both Sherman and
Quay. and Quay especially, forgot that
one Benjamin Harrison is President,
and they had made their trade without
consulting about the only man in and
about Washington who has very posi-
tive conviction that he is President
himself. This one man is unexpectedly
self assertive, and the one thing that
be seems to object to more than others,
is the appropriation of his patronage
without consulting him.
AS Quay didn't make Mr.. Harrison,
he should summon his philosophy to
teach himself that Harrison must be ac-
cepted as he is rather than as Quay
would have him. True, Quay made
Harrison President, but he did it with
out any bond for recreation of the
man and now, after various sieges
and repulses, Quay retires to Beaver
much in the plight OF the man who
was kicked in the face by his mule.
His personal beauty was considerably
modified, but he had ''ah all-fred sight
more sense.n
Senator Quay is quite too sagacious
to quarrel with Harrison. He will
gradually come to realize the fact that
Harrison is President that Harrison
knows he is President and that Harri-
son means 20 be President and when
QUAY gets down to a demand for little
less than the earth, Harrison will bend
a shade and thus lesson the gap between
them. Thus started on safe grounds
on both sides, Quay will get on better
and better as things jog along but If
he were to try the sulks with a tenden-
cy 20 kick up because orders are not
promptly obeye0. he ould soon be in
the soup and all his friends with him.
Quay should pull himself together
again. put on his blandest smile. confess
that HaIrison is President and then, in
a very delectabie way, go for all that's
in sight. t.-Fbild. Times.

4 Railroads Training School.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has at its
shops in Altoona a unique school for
training candidates for positions in the
transportation department. Graduates
of university scientific courses are eIigi-
ble for instruction in the school. such
as those who have studied IN the Towne
scientific department of the University
OF Pennsylvania. in the Troy Polytech.
mic School, the Rensselaer, Institute and
o!her schools of that description.
There are no classes, no set hours, DO
regular instructors at Altoona. AS
many students as can be accomm odated
perhaps dozen or so-are taken into
the training school. Some are put
TO work firing locomotives, some in the
machine or car shops, some in the
draughting room, and others again at
maintenaDce-of-w way work. These COL
lege-bred learners are expected to work
In any department to which they are
assigned, side by side with the regular
employees, and are salaried like the
regulars. There is system of graded
pay by which those who show appIicas
tion and ability can steadily increase
their income.
1t is from the ranks OF those who
have gone through this school tha. the
railroad company recruit the upper
grades of its officials. Whenever posi-.
tions are vacant the department heads
have these tried students to select
from, and the consequence is that an
efficient service is maintained. So suc>
cessful has the working of this scheme
been that in number of cases promin-
ent Eastern railroads in need of SUBJ
officials have sought to get hold of men
graduated from the training school.
President Roberts has the first pick of
his students, but after that other rail-
roads are supplied wherever possible.

THE PittsOurg Dispatch (Rep) says
there was some fit ness in the resolution
of the Re publican administration TO re-
store to the railway mail service, the
clerks who were removed by the Dem
ocTatic administration simply to make
room for Democrats. That was an at
tempt at least to reetify violation Of
the principles which both administra-
tiOns professed and which both ought to
respect. But the heroic effort to COM
press a thousand removals and appoints
ments into Tuesdays holiday before
the civil service rules went into effect,
could not allow time for investigating
the cases, and was an unmistakeable
case of shoveling out the spoils. y
still more remarkable step is the aP-
pointment to a responsible position, of
FandeTvoort, who was removed not by
the Democratic, but by Republican
administration, for neglect of duty to
the extent of absence from work 265
days in a single year. The present
administration after its pledges on the
subject, ought to pay as much respect
TO the requirements of efficiency IN the
postal service as the administration of
President Arthur did.

TUESDAYS parade in New York was
the greatest military display eyer seen in
this country at any civic celebration.
It contained the largest number Of
troops that has been brought together
since the great veteran review at Wash
ingtOn at the close OF the war. More
than $4,000 troops psrajed before
100000 happy and exalted people.
Washington never commanded as smauy
troops in any engagement as marched
on Tuesday in honor of his first inau-
guration. Except for the fine repre-
sentatives of what serves SIS our stand
ing army, the men were all members Of
the militia force, either organized as
part of the National Guard or as inde-
pendent companies. and their soldier
ike appearance and fine marching drew
forth deserved plaHdits from the vast
concourse of people which witnessed
the display.
And yet as impressive as the sight
was 20 those who are unaccustomed
to great standing armies, the troops in
this parade were but as a drop in the
ocean to the real fighting force of the
Republic. There are not more than a
half dozen States in the Union which
could not turn out larger number of
men fit for military duty. New York
alone has csc, 900 men available for the
public defense, and all the Union more
than eight millions.
AS the government is based on force
as possible ultimate resort, It is en-
cOuraging to see enough OF the military
spirit kept alive In our peaceful Repub-
lie to maintain these nurseries of ar
mics, the State military organizations.
Our citizen soldiery did themselves and
their States great credit on Tuesday.

The great Republic, the completion
OF whose first century OF existence is eel
ebrated to-day Tuesday says the New
York World, is like "a city set on a
hill, that cannot be hid" IL stands
shining example 10 the other nations of
The world of the strength, the endur-
ance. the adaptability and the benef-
cence Of popular government.
Democracy is no longer an expert
ment. Few are the dynasties of the
monarchical systems that have endured
for one hundred years with so little
change. except IN the way of develop
ment, as has been experienced in the
United States since the adoption OF the
Constitution. The Republic has been
beset by all the perils that can menace
a nation. IL has withstood foreign war
and survived civil strife of such mag
nitude and costliness as the world had
never before seen. IL has cOntended
successfully against the centrifugal
force of independent States joined in q
union for common defense, and the
centripetal force of dangerous centra-
liZation. 1t has submitted 10 excelsior
by the sword of the cancer of hunaI
slavery. II has resisted the o!C
temptation OF demoralizing wars fol
territorial sggrandizement and entang
ling alliances with foreign nations
Even the assassination OF two Presi

public-did not shake for moment tht
/ pillars of popular government.
In this splendid demonstration of thl
strength and elasticity of Republican
institutions the struggling peoples o
the Old World, feeling their way SLOWLY

The Lookout Rolling Mil company of
Chattanooga, Tenn, on Saturday night
discharged all their white workmen and on
Monday they employed negroes, who are to
be substituted in the mill. The manages
ment say that they have been paying more
on account OF the demands of the AmaIga-
mated iron workers than they were able to
pay and make anything. and they substi-
tuie negroes on the plea of economy.
Trouble Is apprehended between the new
workmen and the old men.

-Fourteen-year old Edward Coy lives
next door TO a man named BigelOw, In

somewhat deranged. On Friday OF last
week It occurred to young Coy that Mr..
Bigelow, being old and quite likely to stand
still, would answer all the purposes OF the
receiving end Of the shooting gallery. Ac-
cordingiy, he led the old man out into the
barn, and, standing him up In horse
stall, began to blaze:awaY at him with al

Bigelow into the house, where he was found
by his relatives, who had been away. The
old mans wounds are severe. Coy has been
arrested.

The Centenary of the FIRST Inauguration.

For upward of twelve years the peo-
pie of the Uuited States have commem-
GRATED certain days OF each year as cen
tennial anniversaries of important
events in their national history. Chief
among these have been the centennial
anniversaries of the adoption of the
declaration of Independence and of the
formation OF the Constitution, both of
which were celebrated in this-the lat
ter probably the most important event
in the history of the world.
The adoption of the Constitution by
the requisite number of States did not,
however. end the labors OF the Fathers

that OF the memory of a man who guild

GEORGE GRAY. of Pine Mills, Pa.
went out in one os the farmers fields
one afternoon to haul away some stone
piles that had been lying in the field
since last fall He had thrown on the
drag few stones from one ot the piles
when a weasel jumped out of the pile.
Gray kicked at the animal as it was
passing him, and the fierce little brute
turned on the man and sprang for his
throat. It's teeth closed on Gray's
flannel shirt at his chest. In tearing
the weasel loose it set Its teeth into
Gray's arm, tearing his flesh down for
three inches. The taste of blood SEEM
ed to increase the fury of the weasel,
and Gray had all ne could do to keep it
from springing on his throat. He at
last succeeded stunning the weasel by
akick, and was about 20 hurry to the
house 10 have lis wounds dressed, when
six other weaSels, one after the other,
trooped from the stone pile and made a
combined attack on Gray. They
swarmed upon him, biting and tearing
his flesh on the legs, arms and body.
Fearing for his life, Gray turned and
fled, followed by the weasels. which
chased him clear to the house, over half
mile away. inflicting still further

Gray's shouts for help brought son
Of his employer and another man out of

the two ran to Gray's aid. Ever these
reinforcements did not daunt the wea-
sells, and before they we're routed, which
was not until three of them were
killed, they had inflicted many ugly
wounds on their foes, and the three
men were covered with blood from

we end our days In lingering, and wishing
