Donnelly Is After Dollars.

Usually it is an uncommonly dull week
when Ignatius Donnelly of cryptogram
fame doesn't got himself talked about in the
newspapers by the aid of one device or
another. Since mis- cryptogram fell upon
the market with such a soft PUNK as not
even to create jolt of excitement, the
great literary analyst has had about all he
could conveniently handle to save his Bacon.
Nevertheless he has managed to fad time
to put in sturdy blow for Ignatius every
now and every then, so as to arouse the in
different world from its growing lethargy of
forge fulness.
Several times the penetrating genius has
incidentally got himself elected to political
offices OF various sorts, and it is generally
while thus engaged that he contrives to do
something calculated to attract attention.
Before getting into the Minnesota state
Senate on the crest OF the recent tidal wave
he had served term in congress. While
thus engaged a Minnesota politician of some
prominence charges that he not only
accepted bride to influence his vote, but
also virtually blackmailed his fellow con-
spirators out of a large amount. Accord
ing to the charges of the same man he sub
sequently tried to bribs the legislature TO
elect him United States senator But that
ANONYMOUSLY failed.
Now the ragingly indignant cryptogramist
threatens bloody war, and has already in
stituted a suit for damages to the amount
of 100000. That sounds rather fictitiously
fierce. 1t carries with it the bold accents
of bluff. Yet it may be genuine. At the
same time the developments and disclosures
brought out at the trial. If such thing
should ever actually occur, will be very
likely to produce slight sensation and in
volve some of the most conspicuous people
in northwestern public life.
Until such trial shall be actually called
on the court calendar, though, no one at
all familiar with western political methods
is likely to reDose much faith in il

a Fessimistic Outlook.

A good story is told by Montagu Williams
concerning argument that took place as to
whether or not a certain boy of very tender
years was old enough to be sworn as a witness
AT the suggestion of one Of the counsel engaged
in the case he was interrogatei by the Judge
when the following colloQuy tok place:
Now, my little man." said the judge, do

His lordship ran through long list of faults,
some of them of very slight description; but
the penalty was always the same-"Hell fire.

The color Line in Rrooklvn

Why is it that the republican papers
do not insist that colored msa shall be ap-
pointed on the police forces of the northern
citlesi And why do they not make an out
cry when the applications of colored men to
become policemen in those cities are denied?
The chief reason seems to be that they want
privileges for the colored people in the
south which are denied to colored people at
the north.
For years colored men have been trying
to get positions as pstrolmen on the police
force of Brooklyn. They have not sue
ceeded. A few have been appointed door,
men, but no one has been permitted to rise
to the dignity Of patrolman.
There Is one colored man now in that
city who is seeking an appointment as
patrolman. He has passed the civil service
examination, and has been placed upon the
eligible list. He is finely proportional
man of good character, and yet it Is said
that the prospect for his appointment is not
at all promising. 1t is even animated that
the police commissioner will drop his name
from the eligible list.
In northern cities 1t is thought to be mex
pedient to appoint colored men to the posi-
ton OF patrolmen, and as a general rule it is
regarded as inexpedient to appoint them to
any position above that of floor scrubbers
or spittoon cleaners. Every where in the
north there is discrimination against
the coIored people. And this very
fact seems to make the republican papers
more vehement in their demands that the
southern people shall accord the colored
people more privileges. They try to draw
attention away from the discrimination
practiced in the north against the colored
people by making great noise about the
little discrimination against them in the
south.

An Attack on Civil Service Reform.
The republicans do not like civil service
reform. They would repeal the civil serv-
ice reform laws if they could They made q
vicious attack on the civil service commits
sion in the Hocss on Saturday, and came
very near c.ippling IL. Uunder the lead of
Messrs. Cameron and Grosvenor, and with
the aid Of Judge Payson, who was in the
chair, they came near cutting down the
appropriation for the commission TO an
amount that would not have been much
more than enough TO pay the salaries of the
commissioners, leaving them nothing with
which to carry on their work.
Tae spoils system is what the republicans
want. TIE takilg OF the patronage from
the politicians is something to which they
cannot become reconciled. They dare not,
however, openly favor abolishing the civil
service commission. To do so would be un-
popular. ana would injure their party.
They do not hesitate, however, to improve
every opportunity to cripple the commits
sion.
But they might as well recognise the
feet that civil service reform has come to
stay. The people approve it. And it is
going to be extended until oil the minor
officers Of the government are brought
within its regulations. The time when the
minor offices could be filed with heelers
aud hencnmen Of the politicians has passed
forever.
The civil service regulations are not per-
feet by any means. and they are not wholly
satisfactory, but they are being improved
all the time, aud eventually. by means of
them. the civil service will be far more
efficient than it ever was under the spoils
system, and it will be free from the dangers
