The Gnbernassria1 Censesa.
The Legislative Committec ap.
pointed to investigate the election
FOR Governor, met at Wheeling yes
terday, to make up their report to
the Legislature.
What that report will be has al
ready been determined and is geher-
ally known, although it has not yet
been put 10 the form of report. 1t
is known that the investigation has
resulted in finding a majority for
Fleming Of between two and three
hundred votes. In other words, the
majority claimed by Golf of LOG votes
was wiped out and about four hun
dred votes added to the aggregate
vote for Judge Fleming.
The Contest Committee spent sew
eral months Of hard work in hearing
the evidence of fraud sent in from
several counties, and they acted with
such patience, deliberation and ap-
parent conscientious purpose to get
at the truth that their spirit and ac-
ton have gained them the confidence
of the people generally, and their
finding will be accepted by non par.
tisans as fair true result of the
election.
1t does not follow however, that
the Legislature must accept as mat
ter of course, the finding of the Com
mittee. Their report is subject to
review by the legislature and their
finding may be accepted or rejected
as the legislature sees fit. The evil
dence has all been reduced to writ
ing and will be presented to the leg
islature with the report of the COM
mittee. If the report Of the commit
tee as to any county is disputed or
by any member, the evidence
upon which it is based can be read
to the legislature and they can de-
eide on the whole matter. When
there is no objection to the report,
it will be accepted. The work of the
committee is therefore not conclusive,
but simply to aid he legislature in
coming to conclusion and to econo-
mize time and money.
There is, theref ire, no absolute
certainty as to who will secure the
Governors Office until the legislature
has been called and acted on the

A Republican organ in attempting
to excuse President Harrison's utter
and fragrant disregard of his own
and his party's pledges in regard to
Civil Service Reform, says:
sThe efficiency of the service is
the only Legitimate purpose OF the
reform, and non partisanship is only
a means to that end, not the end it.
self"
The efficiency of the public service
is an i'm portant object and natural
incident of the reform, but it is not
"the only legitimate purpose" That
this efficacy is seriously impaired by
rotating a new procession of green
horns through the offices after every
turn in an election is too obvious for
argument. No private business could
prosper or even endure if conducted
on the principle which President
Harrison is applying to the public
business.
But the central purpose of the re-
form is to lift the plane of politics
and increase the value of the govern
ment to the people. Politics is now
office seeking. Government is little
more than office mongering. This
is logical result of making the Off
ces the chief stake in an election.
What did the Republican success
last year mean to the active leaders
of that party except a repossesion of
contracts. perquisites and plumber
that goes with them? What has
President Harrison done since the
4th of March except to peddle out
the offices where their bestowment
would give him the.greatest personal
satisfaction or do his party friends
the most good?
Spoilsism banishes craftsmanship.
Spoils-seeking and spoils-mongering
degrade politics, put small men in
big places, substitute bosses for
leaders. 1t is the legitimate and
chief purpose of Civil Service Re
form to substitute ideas for spoils in
the contention of parties and to
bring back the Government to con-
sideration of principles and policies
instead OF mere patronage peddling.

The New Orleans Picayune pre-
diets dark future for the oil and
gas producing sections. 1t says
"As the oil and gas are drawn out
water and air will find their way into
the cavities thus vacated, and the
biologists have forecasted a possible
period when by some such operations
all the water now appearing upon
the surface of the land will sink into
the cavities of the earth. This nee
essary fluid will then only be attain
able by drawing it from wells of ex-
traordinary depth. 1t is even held
that the moon is one of these dry
planets, being destitute of surface
water, which has sunk into the dry
and honey. combed interior of that
body. This water, coming in con-
tact with the interior fires of the
moon, produced terrific internal
throes and volcanic eruptions which
continued to wreck the moon until
it's fires were extinguished, and it
became, as it is now believed to be,
a dead, dry planet.
"Given fire in the body of the
earth, SO situated as to be able to
distil oil and gas from bituminous
coal, and we have conditions which
might under favorable circumstances
produce titanic intraterranean ex-
plosions, ripping open half a CONT
nent and setting fire to vast lakes of
petroleum, which would be thus un-
covered, while the escaping gas
bursting into flame would wrap in
shroud of conflagration enormous
areas of sea and land. These spec
ulations do not pass beyond the
bounds of possibility. They need
not alarm anyone unduly, but they
are attracting attention. If it will
benefit anybody to laugh at them,
then laugh, but ridicule is not safe
ty. Full investigation would be in
and might be useful"

We Want n Street Commits.

What this town wants is a street
Commissioner.
AS rule town councilman don't
know a street when he does see it.
There are few honorable cxcep.
tions but they are rare.
But what If he does know a street,
and is able to distinguish the differ.
ence between it and a cow-path
through the mountains?
The average councilman is con-
cerned only about the street in front
of his own door.
The balance of the town may go
to the demnition bow vows.
Says he to himself-says he, what
in the thunder do l want to bother
about the streets that l have no use
for? Let every fellow take care of
his own street. And if every other
fellow don't happen to be council
man in the course of time, its poor
show for that other fellow.
Now we want to get rid of this self
seeking, log-rolling policy in the
town council and put the streets in
the hands of a single individual
whose business it will be to see that
all the streets of all the town are all
the time and in all respects and I'M
der all circumstances in decent
and satisfactory condition.
If he is man that knows q street
when he sees it, he will save his
salary to the town every year by
prudent expenditures, and skilfull
repairs, and especially in preserving
the reputation and welfare of the
town from such uncleanness and
slovenliness as have disgraced us in
the last year.
1t will not take one half mans
time or very big salary to establish
the office of street Commissioner.
We ought to have him. Every coun-
try road in the county has its super
visor, but our streets are left to take
care of themselves.
And they look like it,

enough was sent to Montana to buy

having been assumed that the pnr-
chase of votes in Montana wonld not
prove more costly than in Indiana

of 5000 and carried the state except
for Congressman. The stumbling

S wants to look and feel his
7 best. He, cannot do this in
a suit that is of Indifferent style, in
ferior quality, or ill-ftting. One
of the reasons that some men feel
awkward in dress suit, is that they
can't feel at home in it. The suit
is tight !; it drags, pulls, or wrinkles,
and the mind is, SO to speak, con-
stantly oppressed by the sense of
physical discomfort. There is no
reason for this condition Of things.
If after all the progress and expert
ence in clothing the human body
clothes can't be made to fit easily
and gracefully, it is time to quit or
go to school. We offer our Gus
toners line ofgoods in dress suits
that are made in the best style Of
the tailor's art and are bound to
give satisfaction in the wear, as
well as ease to the wearer. These
suits cost no more than an inferior
article and yet give the buyer a
double value in their fine quality
and perfect fit. Be sure you see
these suits before you spend a cent
with the risk of being dissatisfied.

Law Partner Miller makes merry
over the public indignation excited
by the bare suggestion that the Su-
preme Bench is to be cut down to
his size. Mr. Harrison stands very
much in awe of public opinion and
his special aversion is a row. To
prevent row he made Blaine Pre-
micr, truckled to Quay. surrendered
to Malone and turned New York
over to Platt. To escape scandal
he disgraced Tanner and to escape
an unpleasantness with the G. A. r.
he is searching for another Tanner
who is dumb. Mr.. Harrison may
always be depended upon to stand
by his friends, but he is not going to
do so at the cost of public scandal,
and that is what the appointment of
Miller to the Supreme Judiciary
would amount to-

certainty that the B. & o. will be-

matured and the decision has been
made by the authorities to complete
this branch just 80 soon as the work
can be organized. If it is not begun
within few weeks, it will, at the
fui thest, be started early in the
Spring.
Then there are rumblings around
and about the Black Bottle that will
possibly develop something before
long. 1t is known that number of
Eastern Capitalists have been pros
pecting in that vicinity for some
time, and it is believed that the
scheme they contemplate involves
the early completion of the Black
bottle.
One thing is certain that when
the F. M. q p. is extended the
Blackbottle will not long remain
uncompleted; and it is equally Ger.

The subject, whether the future

two overtures sent down to the Pres

follows: First, to so amend the Book
of government, that any theological
student who uses tobacco shall be re-
jused license to preach; and Second. !.
that no church member who uses to-

elder.

The Transformed Fragments.

There is an old story of great artist
in cololed glass. He had designed a
window for grand cathedral, and Sc
lected for it some very choice material.
After he had completed his work an
apprentice gathered up the rejected
fragments, and from them designed Il
wheel window in the same cathedral
which was pronounced to be more love
ly than the work of his great master,
although but formed from his leavings.

rejected opportunities of our lives, as
they appear to us, make some more
precious work than we accomplished
with the very best we have.
