ONLY \ DREAM.

Probably it is a fortunate thing for
this country that BISMARCK has about
lived out the number of days allotted to
human existence. Otherwise the MONROE
doctrine would be subjected to severe
test. All the European mOnarchies are
now in the pouts because the long
headed old German chancellor has eX-
pressed qualification over the downfall
of the Brazilian empire; but those who
will take the pains to peep under the
surface will observe that BISMARCK'S
delight over the establishment of the
new republic on American soil has its
origin in that scheme of German cOloni-
cation which has long been the darling
ambition of his heart. The extension of
German power is of more consequence
10 BISMARCK than the retention of the
shadow of monarchy. 1t is estimated
that there are now 100000 Germans
living in Brazil, colony large enough,
in BIsMARCK's opinion, to form the
nucleus of a strong German state in the
Western hemisphere. At all events
the German colonial system has much
stronger basis in Brazil than in any
other American country, and with the
Brazilian empire out of the way Bis
MARCK finds the conditions more favor
! able for the realization of his ambition.
The time will come sooner or later, and
it is most likely to he an early date,
when the new republic will be in strait
ened financial circumstances. Then
it may be possible for BIsMARCK1O buy
with German gold one of the least i'm
portant states of the new republic,
where he can establish his German col
| ony. Once in possession of part of
the soil of Brazil, and with German
| state in South America allied with the
mother country by speech and CONNER
| cial legislation, it would not take man
| of BIsMARCK's mental power and grasp
long to outline policy that would bring
about the fulfllmeut of his ambition.
| But in the course of nature the great
| chancellor's career is nearly ended, and
it is almost beyond the range of posi-
bllity that he should live to see the ac-
complishment of the first step in the di,
Tection of establishing German suprem-
! acy over American soil. And FORUM
ately for US, Europe has no statesman
capable of filling BISMARCK's place.

ried tn Miss Beckie johnson, of Franks
lin. The bride is a charming little
woman. and the story of her cOurtship
with the Illinois farmer is of romantic
nature. Miss johnson was a school
teacher, and while Miss Maggie Jenk-
ms, cousin of Demaree, was conduct
ing faith cure meetings in Chambers
burg year ago, the two women became
acquainted. From the friendship
sprang up came confidence. and when
Miss Jenkins labors ended she went
West. She took with her a photo
graph of Miss johnson. and when Farmer
Demaree SET eyes on it he was smitten
with its beauty. He was not slow to
act, and he at once wrote and asked if
she would correspond with him. She
said she would, and he sent on his
photograph and the school teacher was
pleased with it. When he proposed he
received an affirmative answer. The
marriage day was set, and when De-
maree stepped off the train at this place
his intended bride was there to meet
him. They saw each other for the first
time, and the meeting did not in the
least dispel what letters and photo
graphs had inspired. They cOnVersed

LOCAL CIVIL SERVICE.

1t has probably never occurred to
many that the practical features of the
civil service system could be applied TO
the subordinate officials of states and
cities. For a number of years MaSSa-
chuSettS has had in operation local
civil service system. The original
design was to cover the clerical service
of the state and cities. the prison and
rOlice service. and in Boston the fire
and labor departments. 1t has been
gradually extended to cOmrriSe lines or
skilled service, such as Inspectors OF
food, watermeterS, and in such cities as
choose TO make the small outlay re-
quisite, phase of the system is made
to cover even common labor. There
are no requirements of skill in solving
puZzling cOnundrumS, but the applica-
ton of tests calculated to secure relia-
ble and efficient service. Applicants
must have Endorsements from reputable
citizens as to their fitness for
the service required and attesting
their SobrietY and industry. These
lists are classified with reference
10 the employment desired. and
when any department wants men for
any labor, rPQuiSitiOn is made on
the officer in charge, who furnishes
those familiar with that special
kind of work. There are usually
more applicants than are needed, and
preference is given to those having ex-
perience in city work. veterans and
those who have families dependent upon
them. Reports are required of all en-
ploved or discharged, with the reasons
for the discharge and the details of their
service. Those who are thrown out
through no fault of their own are re-
retained on the selection lists. The
trial of the system in Boston for mum.
Der of years is said to secure more eff
cient and reliable service, and to take
out of the hands of politicians the
patronage so commonly made use of in
municipal politics. The number dis
charged in any year for incapacity or
vicious habits has never been above
per cent. and is usually much less. The
men are pleased with it, as good work is
a guaranty of steady employment when
work is needed.
