Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Dec 5.-Governor David
B. Hills speech at Elmira last night
struck Washington as sharp challenge to
Ex-President Cleveland. 1t was inter
preted TO mean that the Governor would
ask and fight for the presidential nomina-
tion next year in spite of the standing
candidacy of the ex-President. The speech

ally believed that Hills election to the
Senate would pscify his longing for the
presidential nomination. and that he would
wheel into line for his rival. There is not
however, any uncertain ring in his speech.
At every unpopular point of Mr.. Cleveland
the Governor delivered a thrust. His play
for the free silver vote is considered a very
smart trick. In word. the Governor pro-
poses the coinage of q silver dollar contain

NO COMPULSORY EXAMINATIONS.

A Civil Service Rule Rescinded by the Presi-
dent-Promotions for Merit.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 5-The President has
sent the following letter of instructions to
the heads of several executive de apartments
of the government:
Sir-In my message TO the first session OF the
Fifty-first Congress, said: "I have suggested
TO the heads of the executive departments that
they consider whether a record might not be
kept III each bureau OF all those elements that
are covered by the terms 'faIthlulness' and efii-
cieDcy,' and rating made. showing the relative
merits of the clerks of each class, this rating to
be regarded as test of merit in making promo
tions'
1t is intended to make provisions for carrying
into effect the stipulations OF the civil service
law III relation TO promotions in the classified
service. To that end the rule requiring compul-
sorry examination has been rescnded. In my
opinion the examination for promotion of those
who present themselves should bc chiefly, if
not wholly, upon their knowledge OF the work OF
the bureau or department. to which they belong
and the record Of efficiency made by them during
their previous service. think the records OF ef-
feiency kept from day to day should be open TO
the inspection OF the clerks. Very respectfully
yours. BENJAMIN HARRISON.

A Mine Of Honey.

There is large force of men employed al

ity. One Sunday half dozen of the min
ers applied to Colonel Robinson, the super
intendent, for the privilege of using some
giant powder and a few tools. He asked
them what they wanted to do, and they re-
piled that they had found a honey mine,
and proposed to tap it. Laughing, he gave
his consent and an order on the store.
keeper for the desired articles, and, with a
supply of pals and tubs, the men set out
on their expedition.
They were gone all day, and along to
ward shutdown sorry looking procession
came over the hill and made its way to the
employees headquarters. They had tapped
the mine, there could be no question about
that. They were sticky with honey from
head to foot. Hair and beard dripped with
it, like unto the appearance of Aaron when
he was anointed, even so that the oil ran
all over him and down to his feet Their
clothes were literally plastered with mix
ture of honey and mud there was honey
everywhere. But the tubs and buckets
were full of honey as well, for rich lead
had indeed been struck.
The men, it appeared, had found crev,
ice in the rocks whence issued constant
stream of bees and from this they judged
that there must be q large quantity Of
honey in the recesses of the cliff. The
opening used by the bees was too small to
admit of the passage of human being and
after carefully examining the place tun
mel was commenced little way from the
entrance and after this had been run the
right distance an upraise was put In which
by good luck struck the ledge of honey in
its center. After hot contest with the
bees several hundred pounds of comb
honey were taken out and the tunnel was
then closed up. Several times since add.
tional supplies of the sweet material have
been taken from the cave.-San Francisco

AT THE BAPTIST oHuRoH,
The New Pastor Eptertains a Large
Audience.

Rev. A. u. Boone began his
pastoral career with the Baptist
church yesterday, preaching most
appropriate and eloquent sermon for
the occasion. He read the 18th
chapter of Exodus, giving very
touching and interesting account Of
the visit Of Jethro, the priest of
Median, Moses father-in law, taking
Moses wife, q pporah and two sons
to him, and the council he gave
Moses after observing the work he
had undertaken, in judging all the
people of Israel, telling Moses that
he would surely wear away both
himself and the people, and advising
him to divide the people and appoint
men over them to settle all of their
little affairs and let only important
matters come before him which coun
sci Moses observed, and the text was
quoted from the 18th verse of this
chapter. "For this thing is too heavy
for thee thou art not able to perform
it myself alone"
Mr.. Boone had large audience
and received marked attention all
through. He more than met the
highest expectation of all present.
He discussed over-work, and how
even Moses with all of his wisdom
was unconsciously in his zeal destroy
ing himself, and then his willingness
to take Council from a man of less
knowledge than himself. He made
beautiful application to the church
and pastor and the duties of one to
the other. His argument was pow
erful and pointed. Mr.. Boone has a
remarkably fine pulpit voice, rich,
strong and well modulated. His il
lustrations are most fitting and beau
tiful, and he deals altogether in solid
things. He dwelt beautifully upon
the character of Moses, the Prince OF
Israel, the wise man and law-giver OF
law givers, the greatest general the
world has ever known and yet he
made mistakes and was willing to
learn even from Jethro, and so the
pastor of the church might learn
from the counsel Of the humblest
member.
He brought in as an illustration
the work of DR.. Sears, who found an
old dilapidated church and a scat
tered flock here over a quarter OF a
century ago, the tearing away of the
old house and the erection of a splen-
did edifice in its stead, under the
grand old prophets leadership, sup
ported by strong congregation.
His comment on the character of DR..
Sears, his work here, the good fight
he had fought, ETC., was bit of elo
quence that moved the entire au-
dience. Mr.. Boone also preached a
fine sermon at the evening service,
and greatly pleased his audience.
He is decidedly one of the finest pull
pit orators in the Baptist denomina-
ton and the church is very proud OF
him, and will rally as one man to the
young preachers support.
