Victim of Chauncey Depew's Fun.

Gen. Horace Porter smiled grimly when in
formed that Hon. Chauncey NJ .Depew had
taken his name in vain at the Gridiron dinner
Saturday night. That is the way Chauncey
tells that story" said he. ''He brings in Dan
Dougherty and myself. The facts in the case
are as follows, and mine is the only bona fide,
authorized version:

The origin of the word +"gerrymander"
dates back to the year 1911, and the word
was first used in Massachusetts. In that
year the districting of Massachusetts for
legislative purposes was going on, and Essex
county was SO divided as to nullify the SEN
timent of the citizens. For this Gov.
Eldridge Gerry was chiefly responsible, and
an artist attempted to bring the scheme into
disrepute by converting the outlines of the
county on the map into a hideous animal,
which, he said, would do for a salamander.
''Salamander, indeedp' exclaimed Massa-
chusetts editor, ''call it a Gerry-mander. y
The name stuck, and has ever since been
used to denote a partisan change of the
boundaries of a district. From this it is
evident that the first letter of the word
should be given a hard sound.

One of the little Lord Fauntleroys''
came very near retiring from the stage of
life the other day. Tommy Russell, who
plays in New York in conjunction with
Elsie Leslie, was greatly taken with toy
which the street gamins carry with them.
1t was sort of McGinty object lesson
that is, figure in a bottle of water was
made to rise and fall by pressure upon a
rubber covering over the mouth of the bot
tie. Tommy thought he would drink the
water in the bottle, and thereby give
McGinty chance to dry his Sunday clothes,
but he also sucked McGinty into his mouth,
and for while his condition was precari-
Gus, as the figure lodged in his throat.
Skillful aid saved him, however, and the
Little Lord Fauntleroy" business goes
bravely on.

A Bad Example.

The Republican party pretends to favor
civil service reform. A day or two ago the
House, Notwithstanding the protest Of the
democrats, passed bill authorizing the ap-
pointment of a dozen or more examiners in
the pension bureau. These examiners are
! TO be appointed without first having been
/ recommended by the civil service commits
sion. In other words, the civil service law
aud the civil service commission were
| ignored by the House. Is not this very
bad example for the republicans TO set? Do
they expect that if congress treats the civil
! service law with contempt those who are
entrusted with the administration of that
law viii respect it4
In the investigation of the charges against
the civil service commission, now being
made by a committee Of congress, it has
been shown that one of the civil service
| commissioners promoted his brother-in-
law without subjecting him to the required
examination for promotion, although the
same brother-in-law was at the time known
to be guilty of giving out copies of exami-
nation papers that had been entrusted to
his care. But if republican congress ig-
nores the civil service law, is it to be won
dered at that a republican civil service
commission does the same thing.
One Of the witnesses before the investl-
eating committee was named Shidy. He
was secretary Of the local examining board
in Milwaukee. He admitted that he had
falsified the records in his possession so as to
make those eligible for appointment who
were not so and to prevent the appointment
of those who were eligible. He said that he
held an Office under the Milwaukee post
master, and intimated that he had to fix I'D
the records so as to permit the appointment
of those whom the postmaster wanted to
appoint Is this sort of thing going on all
over the country! If it is, it Is high time
that civil service reform were administered
by some other reformers.
Civil Service Commissioner Roosevelt,
however, seems to have thought that this
witness, Shidy, was high-toned, honorable
sort of fellow, because when Shidy lost
his place in the Milwaukee postoffice for
telling Of the crooked work he had done at
the request of the postmaster of that CITY,
Mr.. Roosevelt got him place in the census
bureau by giving out the impression that
he was an excellent man. The standard of
morality of some of those who figure as
civil service reformers cannot be very high
if this is a specimen of it.

Organizing Against British Rule.

A movement is being organized in Canada
30 emanclpate that country from British
rule. The promoters of it hope to be able
to announce Canada's Independence in 1892.
That is a rather early date for the compile
ton of such an undertaking, and it would
not be at all surprising if the 4OOth ami
versary Of the discovery of America should
| see Canada still part of the British empire.
There are no doubt great many people
in Canada who very earnestly desire her
| independence, and doubtless they will make
every effort to accomplish that object, but
| the fact cannot be overlooked that a very
| large majority of the Canadians are satisfied
with the government which they now have,
and it will not be possible to convince
them quickly that it would be to their in
terest to be independent However, if the
movement in favor of independence is con-
Quoted with enthusiasm and Judgment a
majority of the people may be induced to
supportit.
| Those who have charge of the movement
purpose to establish clubs favoring indie
pendence in every county, and it is expected
that these clubs will make a great many
the advantages that would accrue to Can
ada from Independence, and also by dis
| tributing books, pamphlets and newspapers
in which the arguments in favor of sever
ing Canada's connection with Great Britain
Will be fully and forclbly presented.
There is no intention to use force to &C
complish the object aimed at. Only peace
full and constitutional methods will be en-
ployed. Very little in the way of actual
work has been done yet, but there has been
good deal of of quiet effort, however, in
the direction of sounding public sentiment
and it is alleged that the feeling In favor of
independence is much stronger than it is
generally thought to be. 1t is hardly prob
able, however. that Canada will be ready
to sever her connection with Great Britain

witnesses sent up such cheer as had not
