A SURINAM despatch announces the
death at Batavia, recently, of Padre
Balkes, the ather Damien of South
America. He had been in charge of the
Ouch Guiana leper station since 1865,
when he came out from Amsterdam a
volunteer to the service. His fingers
went one by one, then his feet became
affected, and lastly his nose and an eye
were attacked, and eaten away, and yet
up to the very last he managed to at
tend to his priestly duties and consoled
and cheered his fellow sufferers.

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.
Comment on the Action of the Civil servI
Commission.

Comment on the Action of the Civil Service
Commission.
Consid cradle official interest wac DISPLAYED
here yesterday evening when The STAR
nounced that the civil service commission had
asked the Attorney General to prosecute SAM
uel Thomas, treasurer OF the republican state
committee Of New York for sending to govern
ment clerks letters soliciting contributions to
the campaign fund.
Discussing the action OF himself and his col
leagues Commissioner Roosevelt said:
1T has been reported in the press that SINH
lar circulars have been sent to the clerks and
carriers in the Brooklyn and New York post
offices. Ipresume that if an investigation is
ordered an effort will be made to procure sam
piles OF these Also but do not know that this
will be necessary in view Of there being three
samples already submitted. This is the first
time the civil service commission has ever ac-
lively interfered to prevent the collection of
political assessments during presidential cam
paign.
1.-The commission has been Obliged to suggest
the indictment Of . number Of chairmen and
officers Of republican national and county COM
mittees. but l am delighted to say that nothing
In any way rejecting on the republican ma
ional committee has yet been laid before us.
So far it seems beyond a doubt true that the re-
respecting the law. This is pleasing contrast
to what was done by the democratic national
committee four years ago, when they not only
assessed the postal clerks and letter carriers in
the local Offices, but when actually the chair
man, Mr.. Barnum, came down to Washington
and took up his quarters here with the avowed
purpose Of seeing personally to the assessment
Of the Thousands of government employees in
the departments"
Chairman Hackett was not at all disturbed
over the matter. Il hardly credit the report, ."
he said. However, can saw that there is
positively nothing in the charges upon which
it is stated that they asked the attorney general
to prosecute Gen. Thomas. The letters sent by
this committee to republicans asking for con-
tributions to legitimate campaign expenses are
exactly such letters as Tammany and the demo-
Gratis at large are sending out. There is no de-
mand made for money and the recipients of the
letters are not addressed as oficeholders. If
offceholders under the government receive
such letters they get them at their homes just
as other republicans do. There is nothing in it..
you may be certain"

THROUGH ALLIANCE EYES.
Editor Dauntng Thinks Harrison win Re
Elected-The Alliance Ga the House.

EDITOR D0untng Thinks Harrison VIII he
Elected-The Alliance Ga the House.
Reports from all parts Of the country are be-
ing received at the Farmers' Alliance head
quarters here. They are not counting on any
members OF the next House who, being mem
bers OF the alliance, are nominated at demo-
cratic convention. They place reliance on
those only who make the fight outside the
democrstic party, and one Of the most import
ant condition TO alliance loyalty is antsgonisn
to the old par ty in the south. They ere count
ing on the election Of thirty-ive or forty mem
bers OF the next House and expect TO hold the
balance of power. II it should happen that
their calculations are correct their greatest an
fagonism will be against the democrats and
they will prefer to combine with the reprbfi-
cans for the organization of the House.
Editor Dunning, who edits the peoples party
national organ and Is their principal man all
around, said today:
Mr.. Harrison is going to be elected a. sure as
you are alive and our folks are going TO have
the balance of power in the House The demo-
Gratis have carried the thing too far The way
they treated our folks in the House and their
attempts to override us in the south by bribery
and fraud is going to cost them dear. In the
first place 1t will cost them the loss of NewYork
and Mr.. Cieveland's defeat Is already assured.
think Harrison will carry New York, Con-
necticut, Indiana, Virginia and North Carolina
and possibly Alabama. Our folks will carry
Kansas and Nebraska and some OF the silver
states for Weaver, but that viii not throw the
election into the House, as Harrison will have
enough to elect him without those states. We
do not intend that the election of President
shall go into the House.

Meeting Difficulties in Carrying Out Eis
Reform He Gives n Up.
People who are interested in all movements
that promise reform of some sort will not have
forgotten that some time in July Lost Repre-
sentative Bailey of Texas informed an awe
stricken nation that be would not receive pay
for DAYS when he absent from sessions OF
the House without leave. This conclusion was
made known in q letter written by Representa-
tive Bailey TO Sergeant-at-Arms loder. Gen.
ioder said that he was not empowered
to make deductions, and suggested that
Mr.. Bailey take all he could aud cover the un-
earned increment into the treasury himselE
The first part Of the suggestion WAS attended
TO, but the second scrap of advice went uu-
Needed, for Mr.. Bailey not only took all that
was paid him, but be is now pursuing ihe regu-
lar congressional business Of having his war
rants discounted
Ii is understood that Mr.. Bailey's change of
mind, or whatever ii Is. WAS brought about by
the action of a Washington banker. This capt.
talist declined to discount one OF Mr. Dailey's
salary checks, and when asked 70 explain his
refusal said: ''How do know that Mr. Bailey
may not decide that he didn't earn the money
this paper represents! How can be
sure that he will not go back on
this and leave me with collateral not worth it's
face value?'
Mr.. Bailey learned of this and was converted.
The friends of reform and especially of the
new brand of financial reform introduced by
Mr.. Bailey will probably be panied to learn
that Mr.. Baileys Remuneration did not re-
nounce.
