CHEERING THE HEADSMAN

At the little BelshaZ:ar feast given
TO Elk. Assistant Postmastei-Gener
Clarksen on Friday night Thomas c..
Platt compacted in one sentence more
of the real feeling which animates
the politicians Of his party than any
other speaker could. express in an
hour.
Referring to the guest of the even
ing and to the wholesale decapitation
Of postmasters which he made during
his brief torn Of Office Mr.. Plat said:
1--WE love him for the heads he has cut
off," And the sally was received
with approving cheers and laughter.
Contrast this bold boast Of spolls-
man to spoilsmeu with the pledge of
the Republican party in it's National
platform:
The reform OF the Civil Serv ice,
Ruspiciously begun under the Re-
publican Administration, should be
completed by the further extension OF
the reform system already established
by law to all grades of The service to
which it is applicable. The spirit
and purpose IF the reform should he
observed in all Executive appoint
ments, and nll laws Mt variance with
the object OF existing reform legisa-
ton should be repealed, to the end
that the dangers TO free institutions
which Turk in tho power of official
patronage may be wisely and efrectual-
ly avoided.
Or how would Boss Platt's indorse-
ment of Headsman ClarGson, 1--WE
love him for the heads he has cut of, I"
look on IL campaign transparency be-
meath this decial alton in benjamin
Harrison's letter Of acceptance:
In appointments TO every grade and
department. illness and not party ser
vice should b. the essential aad dis
cri ninating test and fidelity and
efficiency the only sure tenure Of
otIico. Ohly the interests Of the pub
lie service should suggest removals
from oifice.
10 the Republican chiefs who
chCored their headsman really think
that pledgo-breaking is passport to
more power in this couujry?-IN. Y.

Tracing NIissent Mail.

The postmaster of Philadelphia has
invented device whereby he expects to.
be able to trace missent and delayed
mail matter. 1t consists of a small
stamp to be worn on the thumb of
sorter. 1t is an automatic mixer, and
every time letter passes through his
hands for sorting the mere act of hand
ling it will put on it postmark. If
each clerk has number that number
will go with the stamp, and a delayed or
missent letter will be traceable thereby
direct to the actual blunderer. In his
own Office Mr.. Field is getting his patent
into use, and if it works as expected it is
probable the whole service will adopt it.
While it will be somewhat of a nuisance
in some respects. it will be welcome to
efficient sorters, as it will protect inno-
cent men from being credited with the
blunders of others.-Interview in st.
Louis Globe-Democrat.

Old Church Records Recovered.

Ex-Governor Charles FL. Bell has re-
stored to the First Congregational church
of Exeter, N. H., a valuable record book,
discovered by him in the shop of local
dealer in antiquities. 1t is small man
uscript volume containing a record Of
the 1877 baptisms administered by the
Rev. Woodbridge Odlin between Sept.
%, 1743, and Oct 30, 1853 The book
also contains few miscellaneous items,
of which this is the most Important:
"Nov'r IS, 1865. About four o'clock
in We morning there was smart shocke
of an earthquake, which was followed
with several smaller shockes, to the
great surprise of many. God grant vt
ye impressions vt were made upon We
minde of many might be abiding
The handwriting is handsome and
very legible, and the book is remarkably
well preserved. 1t fills an important gap
in the early records of the church, whose
age is coincident with that of the town.

An Operation Not Necessary.

Miss Alice Perry, of Bridgeport, Conn,
awoke few nights ago under the i'm
preston that she was in immediate dam
ger of strangling to death. Her false
teeth were nowhere to be found, and a
doctor was at once called. The physi-
clan found the case grave enough to call
in counsel. and the only way to save
Miss Perry's life seemed by the opera
ton called tracheotomy The instru-
iments were obtained, and the operation
was on the verge of being performed
when Miss Perry's teeth were found on
the edge of her bed.
