The Treasurer of the c. H., and d. Tells
His Story.

treasurer Short in his testimony in the Ives
trial IN New York yesterday said that at the
time the c. H., and d. road came into the DOS
session OF Ives and Stayner the witness con-
sldered the road solvent. The gross earnings
under their management were much better
than at any other time
The deposit account between Ives l. Co. and
the g., H. and ID. road was thoroughly gone into,
together with the amounts placed to that firms
credit by Treasurer Short. Once he had tele-
gram from Stayner to remit S25O.OOO to New
York, which the witness did. At various times
ne Grew ON the smaller roads controlled by the
C., II. and d. and sent the money to Woodruff.
AT this point juryInan asked what reason
had entered the witness mind when Ives had
asked him to sign blank certificates. The wit
ness replied that Ives had suggested that it
would be better for him to sign them on &C
count Of his being SO well known and because
OF his early connection with the road.

THE STRIKE SETTLED AT LAST.
The November Compromise Accepted
and tn Men to Go to Work.

Dispatches from London last night indicated
that the strike of the dock laborers would
practically end today and on Monday the docks
and wharves will be thronged with busy
workers. A conference was held yesterday
between Cardinal Manning, on behalf Of the
striking dock laborers, and the directors of the
dock companies. The cardinal submitted to
the directors definite proposals from the
strikers for the settlement of the wage ques-
ton The joint committee appointed to con-
slider the proposals Of the strikers agreed that
the wages demanded by the dock laborers
shall be conceded, the advance to take effect

The Hamilton Case

An Atlantic City special says: There is no
truth in the story that Mrs. Robert Ray Hamil-

grand jury on Monday next Another feature
OF this peculiar case is the verified statement
that Robert Ray Hamilton himself proposes to
come here to testify against his wife, giving
the best possible evidence that he has com,
pletely deserted her. Mrs. Hamilton appears
to have completely recovered from her nervous
prostitution and is ready to face Judge and iury

body Of the Italian murdered at East Newark,
is of the opinion that the man was killed by
order of one of the Italian secret societies.
Two men were engaged in the crime aud the
cash in the throat was made after the bullets
had killed the man. The pistol was used by
one assassin and the knife by another to pre-
vent either from "peaching," they being
equally guilty.

THE BONUS POLICY.

Yankee shrewdneSS, and perhaps a
quality or two not so commendable,
are exhibited in cases cited in a
late New Hampshire paper, in
which the policy of encouraging new
manufactures by exemption from taxa
ton had an unsatisfactory conclusion.
An extensive shoe mandatory was in
duced to locate in one of the towns by a
bonus of no taxation for ten years. The
decade has expired, and the law does
not allow any further extension of the
exemption: consequently the extensive
factory packs up and removes to a
Massachusetts town that perhaps offers
a similar inducement. The paper states
that this is not infrequent occurrence,
and bases upon it opposition to the
bonus policy. This could hardly be a
serious danger where costly structures
are used in the business. 1t is not a
point against generous encouragement
to new enterprises, but may afford eau
tionary suggestions in providing for
their permanency so far as practicable.

CIVIL SERVICE SHAM.

The exposures made by the Washing
ton Post in its controversy with Civil
Service Commissioner ROOSEVELT have
been very damaging to the administra-
ton of that ideal department of govern
ment. If purity and exact justice are
to be found in any branch of govern
ment machinery, they are supposed to re-
side in the civil serv ice bureau; but the
facts, as they have been developed by
the Post, tend to prove that there is
really more skullduggery in the adj
ministration of this bur eau than in
almost any other department of the
government. The civil service COM
missioners have been exposed to any
amount of ridieule for the absurd sys-
TEN of examinations that has been
established. Questions are proDounded
and required to be answered that
are of no possible consequence
and have not the remoteSt bear
ing on the qualifications of an
applicant. But it seems that this TOM
fOolery of Civil service examinations is
by no means the worst feature of the
civil service humbug. 1t has been
shown that favOritism counts for more
than qualification in securing promo
ton in the line of the civil service, and
now it is demonstrated by the Post
that money counts for more than both
favOritism and qualification. In other
words, the civil service is being run on
a commercial basis that discounts
QUAY's methods of conducting cam
paign. 1t is an open secret that the ap-
pIlcant who is willing to pay the tariff
rate Oh an advance copy of the list OF
questions that will be submitted at
the examination will be the lucky
drawer of a civil service prize. In
one instance it has been shown
that these advance copies were peddled
out at S25 each, and no doubt brought
quite snug little revenue into the cOf-
rers of the men who were posing as
model reformers on government sal
airy.
In view of the abuses that the civil
service administration is being SUBJ
| jected to in this respective suggest that
the civil service rules be amended so as
to do away with examinations altOgeth-
er, and to adopt instead the new idea
in public school management of estab-
fishing the monthly record system. In
this way the employees in the civil serv-
ice could be graded so that those show
ing the highest average monthly
record would be promoted as va
cancles occurred. 1t isn't PERSONS
knowledge of geography, mathematics
and natural philosophy which qualities
him or her for places in the government
service so much as it is a personal apti-
tude for the peculiar work that is to be
performed. Whenever the civil service
commission abandon theory and become
indoctrinated with good horse sense the
civil service will be rendered efficient
and incorruptible, and not till then.

THE CHIPPEWA COMMISSION.

The members of the Chippewa COM
mission have had much more labori-
Gus task to perform than that assigned
to the Sioux commission; consequently
there has been delay IN completing the
negotiations by which the Chippewa
reservations are to be opened for set
Element. The Sioux Indians are more
numerous, and their reservations larger,
than the ChippewaS; but the Sioux COM
mission had the advantage of being able
to reach the various agencies by easy
modes of travel, where they found the
Indians assembled and in readiness TO
treat with them. Another advantage
was that the great body of the Sioux
followed the advice and guidance of a
few leaders, which made the work of
negotiation comparatively easy for the
commission. The Chippewa commits
sion had the reverse of all these cOndi-
tions to encounter. They had to visit
remote localities, most difficult of ac-
cess. and when they got there they
had to treat with each individual In
dian. There was enough opposition
among the Chippewas to the govern
ments policy to make the work OF the
commission most laboriOuS, and to re-
quire the most Skillful diplomacy. Con-
sequently great deal of time was nee
esSary to overcome all the difficulties
before them, but they labored patiently
and zealously until success crowned
their mission. Very little more remains
to be accomplished, the signing OF the
Mile Laos Indians having secured to
the government nearly all of the lands
| included in these reservations that are
of value. The Mile Laos prefer to take
land in severalty to being removed to
| the White Earth reservation; still, there
will be about 200, 600 acres to be thrown
| open to settlement. All the members
| of the commission merit the gratitude
| of their cOuntrymen for their long and
! painstaking endeayOrS: but il IS no dis
arrangement to the other members of
| the commission to say that the country
was singularly fortunate in securing
the services of Senator RICE for this
! delicate work

GHOULIsH BUSINESS.

DANIEL MANNING was strong par
tisan and fierce campaign fighter, but
that fact did not justify Secretary WIN
DOM in casting a reflection upon an
honest mans memory by furnishing to
the press for publication the contents
of an anonymous letter received from a
Missouri thief, whose qualms of con-
science compelled him to make restitu-
ton of few hundred dollars that had
been long ago stolen from the govern
ment. The conscience-stricken thief,
who hasn't honesty enough left to put
his name to the charge, accuses MIR.
MANNING of having appropriated TO his
own use. while he was secre tary of the
treasury, a conscience contribution of
5000 that had been returned to the
treasury. The infamy of the accuSa-
ton is too glazing to need contradiction;
but it is amazing that Secretary WIN
DOM should have given circulation to
such vile calumy, especially when it
affected the reputation and memory of
one of the most honest and most hon
