The Claim of Engineer Halls Wife.

From dispatch dated Syracuse, Ny,
February 9Th, it is learned that the
widow of Engineer George W. Hall, who
died from alleged cruel treatment in
Samoan waters last June, proposes to
bring suit against the United States Gov
eminent for being, through its officers,
accountable for her husbands death.
The evidence, it is declared, viii dis
close official malignity of the worst type.
What will give strength and support to
the plaintiffs suit viii be the strong side
light thrown on it by the harsh treat
ment which Undertaken John Mccarthy
was subjected to in bis search for Halls
BODY.
Fresh evidence comes to the widow
every day. 1t has just come to light that
after Hall was taken of mis- vessel, the
Nipsic. he mailed his wife from Apia a
letter which he wrapped in newspaper
lest. should be inclose it in an envelope,
II might be intercepted and the contents
noted
The letter was one which he sent Ad-
miral Kimberly, then at Honolulu, in
which he asked for leave of absence on
account Of extreme illness. The letter
was returned, and on the bottom was
written:
''You see your request has not been
granted"
Mrs. Hall believes this reply, signed
BY Kimberly, was Of malign import.
1t Is further believed that Hall did not
die without writing the particulars con-
corning what he evidently felt to be
harsh treatment on the part Of his super
ior officers.
So far as known, no such letter reached
Mrs. Hall at her home in Onondaga
valley.

SHAM REFORM.

The President has peremptorily re moved four land officers for shortages ranging all the way from S1,2S7 up tc 54S,O00 It is reported that there are about ten others who will be speedily treated in like manner for like reasons This is bad in various ways. It is dis couraging as an illustration of the com mon depravity of men. There has been considerable loss of money. But then that is the lightest loss of all. It is a mere nothing as compared with another loss the loss of faith in the professions and claims of the great reform admins tration conducted by that robust refor- mer, Grover Cleveland.
 The cry, turn the rascals out" is still fresh in the common recollection. Its dulcet echoes have scarcely yet died away We were told in emphatic, unc- tious phrase that, as the rascals were turned out, all evil went out with them. We were earnestly, solemnly assured that the dire days O. peculation, thiev- ing and robbery had passed away. Hon esty, integrity, fidelity, purity were to reign through all departments of the public service, from the highest places to the lowest. The radiant, benign light of reform was to shine along all the of ficial ways. But now it appears that the men appointed under that reign of pious promise have been peculating and stealing and embedding in the old, com mon, vulgar way. Some have, indeed, aspired to large operations, to thefts of tens of thousands. But others have stopped to petty offerings of thousand or two.
 So dismal an outcome for so bright promises and so radiant prospects is de- pressing and discouraging indeed. It makes us ask if this world is one all of false promise and vain pretense.-Denver Times.
