EVIDENTLY DlSGRUNTLeD.

So far as our observation goes, the
Democratic press of the country, east,
south and west, is generally opposed to
the so-called civil service rules, which
favor an exclusive class of Office
holders.
10 Ohio, we notice no Democratic
journal, that is devoted to the scholastic
and technical test, as applied to appli-
cants for positions in the government
service. On the other hand, nearly
every Democratic newspaper we pick
up is against any test for office, save
the true and only Jeffersoniau test, hon
esty, capability and Democracy.
When we reflect that all, or nearly
all, of the officials now in office were
placed in their respective positions, not
on account of their capacity or special
services to the Republican party, there
Is no real reason for retaining
their services, save maudlin
seDtimentalism, that is so akin to po-
litical folly that 1t might be classed as
q twin sister.
The following, from the Springfield
(Ohio), Democrat, Is a fair specimen
of current opinion among Democratic
editors on the civil service reform
humbug:
The announcem ant is made from Wash
ington, that hereafter all fourth.class post
masters are to be placed under the civil
service rule, and that no removals are to
be made except for causes other than po-
litical. This practically extends the tenure
OF Office for life or during good behavior.
Now, IL this rule could be extended to the
Presidency, IL would obviate the necessity
for any future Presidential elections. How
nice this would be, 1t would prevent ex-
citing contests, Allay partisan strife, and
create an office holding aristocracy of the
ins, and relieve the outside barbarian in
the future from taking any interest in
government affairs. beyond paying the
taxes necessary to give good salaries to
the office holding class. What pescea-
bic, law-abiding citizen will dare question
the wisdom of this policy?

A LOUD howl now ascends to the
upper air from the more radical of the
Republican newspapers, because the
new Commissioner of Pensions has
decided to sean and revise the pension
liss. 1t is claimed that soldiers are
going to be robbed of their pensions
Up to date we have heard of no soldier
who has been robbed of his pension by
the Democratic administration; and we
expect to hear of none. No deserving
soldier will suffer to the amount of q
penny, at the hands of Democratic
administration. 1t is certain that GER
tain men now drawing pensions, who
rendered no service, and who are
abundantly able to live without PEN
sion (men who were never In sight OF
the Rebel army and who never fired q
gum, will be dropped from the list
but the Democratic policy aims
to be generous with all trne soldiers
and their widows and orphans. Wait
and see.

what Ira Dean claimed in the Inde-
pendent. Ira Dean claimed TO have
made the Cardiff giant out of prepara.
ton, and that our statement that the
giant was mace by one of the
aboriginals of Chicago, from a block of
gypsum, from quarry near Fort Dodge,
Iowa. Since there is controversy over
the matter, we have been making some
inquiries, and we find none of the au-
thorities on the Car diff giant, outside
of Ira Dean and the Independent, give
Ira credit for either the conception or
composition of the giant. In Johnson's
Universal Cyclop@dia, page 722, we
find the following:
"Cardiff, post village in N. Y, Is
the place of the pretended discovery of
the Cardiff giant, which was cut from
a block of gypsum quarried at Fort
Dodge, Iowa, sculptured at Chicago,
buried for some months at Cardiff, and
accidentally discovered Oct 16, 1869"
II may be that Ira Dean sculped the
giant, Notwithstanding the contrary
statement of the Universal Cyclop@dia.
The author of the Cyclop@dia does not
claim to have sculped the giant, neither
was he present when the giant was
sculped hence the statement of Ira
Dean, who claimed to have been pres
ent in the sculp, Is worth more than the
statement Of johnson of the Cyclic
p@dia, who was not present. We give
both statements, wiCh the view of al
lowing the public the benefit of un-
biassed judgment.

cratic ideas and not knowing the pao-
pie but possibly chasing them in her
mind with the socialists of Europe,
she could not afford to imperil her
dignity and the safety of her go, ern- =
Such were, probably, her reasonings
when she sent an avaDt courier to as
certain Cd what she might count IL she
came.
Now that she has arrived and been
accorded preliminary receptions in New
York and Washington, she should be
at home with us and feel assured that
any defendant of Isabel and Ferdinand
cannot be treated otherwise . in this
country than as welcome guest; and
so far as the infanta herself is con-
cerned she is respected for her own
worth and the greetings Of the people
are tenders of their admiration for one
whom they acc pit as worthy of the
recognition of a nation.
The huZzas, the hat throwing, the
waving of handkerchiefs for the prin-
cess are the free will offerings of a free
people who do not forget what the new
world owed to Spain and who do not
fear to approve of goodness even
though it belong to royalty. Though
DR.. Quarantine Jenkins omitted to kiss
the infanta's hand when offered to him,
he only missed the opportunity of his
life, and the people of the United States
will assure her highness that she is as
welcome as the flowers of spring, and
appreciated as being more accurately
on schedule time this year.

THE OUTLOOK is BLOOD.

Rumors of prospective blood shed
come to us from Alliance. In the Re-
view of last evening, ii. W. Brush, the
city editor, publishes card threatening
personal violence to the editor of the
Critic, Mr.. Roberts. Mr.. Brush closes
his card as follows:
And yet, will say now to this mis-
cradle counterfeit Of manhood, who
occupies the place of editor of the
Critic, that for the slightest repetition
of such vile slander he will be held
personally responsible.
III. W. BRUSH.
1t will be seen that the outlook is
ominous for blood. We call the atten-
tion of the mayor and chief of police of
Alliance to this deplorable situation.
We suggest that Editor Brush, who is
known TO be man with an auburned
hair disposition, be put under bonds to
keep the peace, and that the Rev, w.
w. Roberts, who edits the Critic, be
eDjoined to cease his aggravating per-
sonalities. The situation calls for
prompt action on the part of the
authorities; lest the streets of Alliance
run red with human blood. AT the
same time, let us advise the rival edi-
tors of Alliance to cease their personal
warfare This is great big world and
there is room for all Take the Canton
editors for noble examples of editorial
comfy.

JUST AND PATRIOTIC.

The Grand Army of the Republic,
in session at Hamilton, o, passed a
resolution that is eminently just and
patriotic and it should be put into
effect. 1t Is as follows
Resolved, That we recommend that
the board of trustees of the Soldiers
and Sailors home, at Sandusky, req uire
of all applicants for admission to said
home who are drawing pensions from
the United States government, to sur
render said pensions for the use of their
families, If they have any, who are
dependent, less reasonable amount
for recreation purposes, said amount to
be determined by the board of trus-
tees"
AS 1t is now, large number of the
inmates of the 'Sandusky Soldiers
Home are drawing pensions, which
their suffering families need, but do not
get. 1t is q notorious fact that this
pension money is squandered for pur-
poses that are of no moral or material
benefit to the soldiers. AS the state is
taking care OF these soldiers, this PEN
sion money should 60 to their wives
and children, at home, now, in many
instances. supported by private charity

A GREAT GRAFTON.


The announcement that the Duke of
Veragua paid his respects to Colonel
William II. Cody's wild west show, and
saw there his first American Indians,
has called out great oration. The
following is the gist of the grafton, sup.
posed to have been delivered by one of
the Wild West Indians of Uody's show,
{ , the lineal descendant of Christopher
Columbus, as an address of welcome.
1t is like the last address of Logan, the
Mingo chief, written by white man.
But the points are the points of an In
dian:
"Uh, son of the stranger who came to
our fathers IN other days, we bid you
welcome. In the name of the red man
who pierces the trackless forest, in the
name of the red man who wanders the
dreary prairie, in the name of the red
man who has acquired the habits and
the multitudinous insects of civiliza-
tlon, in the name of the red brother
who has traded his wampum and his
scalping-knife for all the diseases that
the proud white man has to bestow--
we bid you welcome. Four hundred
years ago the fathers of your fathers
father found our wife's folks on a
bleak and barren coast.
The red man was dressed in the hide
of the deer or the muskrat, according
to the season; he ate the food of the
chase, drank from the bubbling spring
and smoked the tobacco OF his father.
Today his daughters wear cavalry
trousers and bandoline their raven
locks with New Orleans molasses; his
sons eat salt horse sandwiched In the
bread of idleness, while the poor Indian
has NAV for liquor that gapes like the
center of funnel-shaped cloud. He
chews plug tobacco and smokes cigar
cites. Columbus brought civilization
to the Indian; the reservation has done
the rest. Where once the sun kissed
the innocent cheek of Minnehaha, robed
in the cloth of her busy looms, today
the sun of noon looks down on Mrs
Man N Not-Afraid of. Cocktail and sees
her neighboring around the reservation
in an army coat, plug hat and a
wagon cover, while every breeze from
the prairies brings the sound of her
sobs as she pleads with the agents of
the great father for striped suspenders
and crinoline skirt.
Yesterday the red man scalped and
burned and pillaged from the eastern
sea to the western sea; today the Nc
Kinley law is in force, and tomorrow
the populists threaten the country"

THE GREAT SHOW IN CHICAGO.

Persons who have been a month in
Chicago differ very materially, as to
the cost of seeing the big show; but
here are few lines from the Chicago
Record, that indicate the character of
some of the delights:
"If a man is fond Of:
Pink catalogue, with pages full Of
italic type,
Cactus sprouts and hyacinth bulbs,
Liberty bells made out of glass,
Imported asparagus at 10 cents a
stalk,
Cigars costing 20 cents each and
wearing gold labels,
Sedan chairs carried by Turks at 81
an hour,
Japanese vases, with yellow catfish
chasing red butterflies over pink land
scape,
Effervescent drink at 1915 pint,
Turkish dancing girls
And other luxuries, he can manage
to spend quite roll of money In one
brief day at the Fair.
1t is impossible to say just what Is
the expense of seeing the Exposition
unless you know your man.

Elizabeth Yeagley in Judge McCsrty's

petition was dismissed at plaintiffs costs,
Yeagley was represented 5y Attorney
Roach, who made good aho wing for the
plaintiff. Somebody had informed the
court, however, that YesRley intended to
marry another girl. II dr rveloped through
Judge McCariy's questioning and YeaG
ley's answers that Mrs. YeaRley,
who is relative OF the Benders,
the terrors of the west, hai
run away from Yeagley few years
ago. For some time he has been courting
Eftie Mcdonald of Alliance, and it was
understood between them that they
should be married as soon rs the divorce
was granted. A woman got divorce in
Judge McCarty's court day or two ago,
and as soon az II was granted she went
down street and married the principal
witness in the case. The court didn't
propose to have any more such work so
he questioned Yeagley to the extent that
the latter admitted that he only wanted
the divorce so that he could marry Effle.
