On Merit Alone.

PuIs,-ant to tle-directiep- emhra
4 letter from the President to the
Of each department, dated Decem
1891, the Secretary of the Treasu
completed plan, which will take -.
on the 1st of January, under which all
promotions in the Treasury Department
will hereafter be made on basis of merit
only, and as the result of competitive
examinations. These examinations will
be made by an examining board in the De-
partment, designated by the Secretary,
and not by the Civil Service Commission,
and, as a rule, each examination for a
promotion to any grade will be confined,
to clerks in the next lower grade and in
the same Office or bureau.
As part of the plan thus adopted, 4
daily record will be kept of the efficiency
of each clerk by the chief of his divis-
ion, and in all denominations this efficiency
record will be the element of chief
weight. The efficiency record will give
the daily standing of each clerk for
punctuality, attendance, conduct lin
Guiding personal habits, accuracy, indus
try, aptitude, and general ability.

Saved From Fire at Sea,

The North German Lloyd steamer
Spree, with the passengers and crew Of
the burned steamer Abyssinia on board,
has arrived at Southampton.
The Abyssinia, which was bound from
New York for Liverpool, was burned at
sea, in latitude 49 degrees north, 80 de-
grees west. She was loaded with cotton.
which took fire in the hold from spon-
taneous combustion. The Spree hove in
sight when the Abyssinia was on fire at
both ends, and all efforts to save her had
been abandoned.
The Spree Immediately sent her boats
to the rescue and all on board were safely
transferred to the Spree, with the ex-
ception of one seaman, who jumped over
board and was drowned.
The crew and passengers of the Abys
sinia numbered $50 persons.
The Abyssinia, built at Glasgow, 10
1870, was bark rugged, single screw ves-
sci, having a gross tonnage of 3,651, and
a net tonnage of 2,436. The engines
were of the compound type and 500
horse power. She is said to be. fully in.
sured in English companies.

WHAT SHOULD BE DONE

The term of the present admin
istration is drawing to close and
from what has been accomplished
since it's existence has no doubt
been beneficial to the American
people. President Harrison can
feel proud of the record that he
has made and the justice that he
has endeavored to accord to ali
classes of American citizens ire
spective of their political opinions.
For the continued prosperity of
the country and the future well
fare of the people, Mr.. Harrison
should receive the unanimous
denomination of his party.
While it is true that quite a
number of democrats have been
retained in Office, it is no more
than what the democratic party
charged Mr.. Cleveland with and
when that party failed to adhere
to the wisdom of it's leaders it was
defeated.
Althou sh the victory of the
republican party in 1888 was
purely a republican one, there
has been less removal from Office
under this administration than
there were under Mr.. Cleveland.
The plea of the democratic party
was offensive partisinship." !"
Lhould the democratic party ever
get cnntrol of this government
again, there will not be enough
repabllcanskep in Office to relate
a good story what good times they
enjoyed under this administration.
The civil service law ought to be
repealed for the good that it is.
If the republican party would let
the civil service and prohibition
questions alone, there is no doubt
but that the party would succeed
better In those states which are
to day doubtful. The great ques-
ton that should be inserted In the
platform of the republican party
Is to guarantee the protection of
every American citizen in his
civil and political rights. This
question is more important to the
American people than the tariff,
the silver or any other question
that can be used to suit the con-
veniences of the politicians.
Let the repub lean party be
united and work for its success in
1892.

is an increase of six, while the fa-
tai cases from Diphtheria were
five and from Group three as a.
gainst two and and one respec-
lively 10 the previous week.
While the newspaper reports
from other cities in this country
represent a severe epidemic of ca
tarrhal Influenza, this city, thus
far, seems to have been favored.
But three deaths have occurred
therefrom, although number of
cases have been reported in vari-
Gus parts of the District. The
indications are that to what ever
extent this malady may prevail it
will assume milder type than
during the epidemic of December
1890 and April, 1891.
The editor of the journal of the
American Medical Association in
the last number presents a short
editorial upon the subject of ola
Grippe. In the treatment of this
malady he suggests ''t at the first
most necessary thing is to require
the patient to 60 to bed, 'and to
there remain until conva lescence
is assuredly established. "a nu-
triticus diet of easy digestion, j"
mild stimuIants, strychnine 'quin
Inc and sedatives are indicated.
Small doses of calomel 'bicarbO-
nate of soda rubbed up with Its
tie sugar aud milk, with rest OF
the body and mind" is the course
of treatment recommended.
The mortality among children,
as we'll as among elderly persons,
is at present at the normal rate,
while the death rate for every
thousand cd population is only
one per cent above the normal.

Washington Very Quiet.

The usual holiday quietness relgns In
Washington. Deserted by Congressman
and many regular officials of the Govern
ment, the city is as dead as in midsum-
mer. Christmas was appropriately cele-
brated at the White House. The fes-
tivities there began at 10 o'clock, when
the footing of tin horn called all the
members of the Presidents household to
the library, where a brilliant Christmas
tree stood.
On the table near the tree were copies
of Master Benjamin's address and the
invocation to the Christ Child, both the
inspiration of the children's goyerness.
These were banded about, and whils
the little ones spoke in German, their
audience was just as appreciative as IL
every word was understood. After this
formal part of the program everybody
had chance to inspect their gifts. There
were many toys and books for the chill
dreD, and prominent people all over the
country were represented in valuable
tokens sent the older members of ths
family.
Three or four other tables held presents
for the President, Mrs. Mckee, DR.. Scott
Mrs. Dimmick, Lieutenant and Mrs. Pa
ker, Mr.. Halford, Miss Sanger, and
the household retinue.
The President presented TO each
pIoye of the house an order for tur'
or pair of gloves. Mrs. Harrison ad
to this by personal gift.

ALABAMA,s OUTLAW LYNCHED.
Bob Sims and His Gang Captured and
Hanged to a Tree.


Southern Alabama was amazed on
Christmas morning to learn that nearly
an entire family had been murdered by
Bob Sims, the noted mOOnshlner OF
Choctaw county, that State.
John Mcmillan, merchant of ChOc-
taw county, was receiving load of mer-
chandise, and Bob Sims leveled rifle
on the driver and made him unload
them at Sims's house. He sent Mcblll-
Ian word that he would burn his house
and kill him. McMillan's house was
guarded that night, but at II o'clock
Christmas eve seven of the Sims gang,
all armed with rifles, fired McMillan's 8
house and shot the occupants as they ran
out.
John Mcmillan himself was killed,
with three other members of his family,
and the house burned to the ground.
After this carnage the outlaws opened
McMillan's store, robbed it of what goods
they wanted, and left it lighted up and
open, scattering shoes along the road.
An alarm was spread. and the sheriff,
D. G.. Gavin, and posse started in pur-
suit of the desperadoes. They were
found and surrounded in Sims old home.
six miles from the scene. The sheriff
then telegraphed Governor Jones for
help, and detachment of the lst regi-
ment started for the scene. Mean
while Simss party, numbering seven
in all, were held at bay in well provis-
ioned house by the armed posse.
After about 80 hours, on hearing that
the militia had been sent for, and that
cannon was to be used against them,
Sims agreed to surrender on condition
that they would be protected from vio-
lence. This proposition was accepted by
the sheriff, and he started with his pris-
oners, four men and three women, for
the county Jail at Butler. Sims was not
to get away so easily, however. Soon
after the party was on the road toward
the Jail, number of the sheriff's posse
who remained behind started in pursuit.
On their way they met Con Savage. a
Simsite, and hanged him to a tree. Then
coming up with the other prisoners, they
took them away from the guards, and,
carrying them back, hanged Bob Sims.
Thomas Savage, and two boys, sons Of
Con Savage, to the same tree from which
the latter's body was then dangling.
John Savage, another member of the
gang, was hanged at 10 o'clock the same
night.
Thus ended the career of this cele
brated outlaw, who has terrorized Ala
bama for years, and who has ever refused
to pay cent of tax to State or national
Government, and lived life of defiance
to all civil laws.

About New YOrk's Tardiness.
Ex-Congressman Benjamin Butter
worth, secretary of the Columbian Ex-
position, says of the dinner in New York
city for the benefit of the Worlds Fair
1T is good idea. The greatest enter
prises in the world are started over the
social board. l never appreciated this
fact so forcibly until went to England
recently as a exposition commissioner.
In that country nearly all great things
are doomed around the table.
Are you afraid that New York will
not be represented at the exposition?"
"No; believe that New York will
make a great exhibit whether the legis-
lature appropriates anything or not. Ws
have reserved space for New York. OF
course the tadiness Of the Empire State
to act is in striking contrast to the action
of other States.
Is it true that China will not take part
in the expOsition?"
mo; l think China will berepresented.
Nearly all the nations of the earth will

will be all right. We find that it will
take $21 100000 to carry through the
exposition, and Chicago has already
raised 81 900, 900, and expects to contrib
ute $1.OO0,OO0 more, making $1,000
in all
"Then we shall ask Congress not to
loan or give $4,000 but to put it in the
enterprise on the same footing as the city
of Chicago and the stockholders. l do
not think Uncle Sam will lose anything
by taking equal chances with the other
stockholders. y
