Judith's grief was sad to witness, but she was
patient exceedingly, and permitted me TO

Lees Surrender.

When Gen. Grant was asked, did you take
Lees sword at Appomattox2" no replied, "No,
] did not. Lee came there wearing the mag.
nifcent sword which the State OF Virginia gave
him, but did not want him to surrender 10 to
me. / sat down at once and busted myself
writing the terms Of the surrender. When |
had finished / handed them 10 Gen. Lee He
read them and remarked They certainly are
very generous terms, indeed lie then told
me the cavarymen owned their horses, and IL
they were deprived of them they could not put
in the crops. Then | gave the order: Take
your horses home with you, for you'll need
them in the Spring plowing." This Is the sim.
pie story of Lees surrender. Cesar would have
had that sword; Napoleon would have de-
manded IL; Wellington would not have been
satisfied without 1t, but u s. Grant was too
great To take it.

His appoint ments, too, of men who had not passed the civil service examination are in direct defiance of the law on the sub ject and should be sufficient to cause his prompt dismissal from the service. If there is any intention on the part of this administration to enforce laws already on the statute books, if there is any thought of making the public service other than roasting place for men whose services entitle them to rewards, it should be proved by the haste with which MT Wallace is invited to walk the plank into the depths of political ob- scurity. Nothing else will satisfy the people of the country that the civil service law is not to be entirely relegated to innocuous desuetude under this ad- ministration.

RHODE ISLAND GOES WET.

By an overwhelming vote-2S, ,449 out of 3S. .302-Rhode Island declared yester- day in favor of repeating constitutional prohibition. The wet majority was lar ger than even the most hopeful anti prohibitionists had dared to anticipate.
 Roger Williams state has had trial of constitutional prohibition for three years, during which it was practically demonstrated that the law could not be enforced. Not only did it fail to abolish the liquor traffic entirely, but it was not equal even to its restriction. Liquor was sold openly. saloons ran in full blast, and the liquor dealers made good thing out of the law in that their exemption from license fees left them a considerably in creased margin of profit It is little wonder, therefore, that even the friends of temperance themselves deemed it ad- visable to recede from a system that worked injury to the finances and morals of the community.
 The prohibit, nists, if they can be made to see anything. ought to under stand now that the American people arc not yet ready for the extreme sumptuary laws they would impose upon them. Wher the people of Connecticut get chance next fall they will emphasize this fact il way that ought to send a cold strean down the backs of the individuals wht want to make laws with which sensibl men everywhere have neither sympath. nor patience.
 We ought to hear less of prohibition for the next ten years.

OIL IN RUSSIA

The American producers of kerosene oil are likely at no distant period to feel very keenly the competition of Russian producers. at least so far as British India is concerned, for. according to the off, cial statistics of trade in that country the Russians are already making rapid inroads into the American trade. The use of kerosene oil is constantly increas- ing iu India. displacing the vegetable oils previously used which gave smoky and lull light when compared with this mineral fluid. and until the year 1886 the American oil producers, or, to speak more definitely the Standard Oil con- panv. had entire control of the Indian trade. In 1886 over 29,000,0 ,000 gallons of kerosene oil were imported into India from the United States, and that year Russian oil came in for the first time to tue amount of 1 300, ,OOO gallons. How rapidly the Russian trade has grown since then is shown by the fact that dur ing eight months of the fiscal year lSSS-S9, while the importations of oil rom the Onlteu StaIeS amounted to On- 14,o00 ,00O gallons, those from Russia figure up to more than 1 1 ,O00,0 gaIlons.
 As the use of gas and electricity has largely superseded kerosene oil as a lighting az sncy ill America it is of vital importance for the American oil industry that it should preserve all the foreign markets it now enjoys. The entrance of Russia as an active competitor of the United States in the oil trade is very sig nitcant for the American producers, for if such success can be attained in India it is quite imaginable that equal triumphs may be seen in China, Japan, South America Australia and South Africa. places in which American oil has hitherto had an undisputed suprem. acy. But it is not likely that the Standard Oil company will be driven out entirely from the markets where it has heretofore held sway. It isn't that kind of a concern.

WORK FOR HARRISON TO DO.

The sensational developments that followed the partial investigation into the affairs of the Indianapolis post office by the civil service commission show very conclusively that President Harrison has stern and uncompromis- ing duty before him. If he would re- tain even the semblance of sincerity for his professions of civil service reform he must hang Postmaster Wallace higher than Haman on the gibbet of official death.
 Postmaster Wallace's offenses have been gross in their disregard of law and morals, and the fact that he has admit ted his fall should not be allowed to init rate his punishment. In reappointing 50 clerkships men who had been dis charged by his predecessor for gross offen-
