Editor Chas. II. Taylor, Of the
Boston Globe, is a level-headed
man. and writes as follows about
the recent elections:
"The result Of The election Tues
day simply repeated political his

Republican victories in our time
that party has been divided on the
distribution Of the Offices and other
questions, put up weak men here

whipped many times. The litan-
cial stringency led the business
men Of the country to call ior the
repeal Of the Sherman act. 1.-THE

THE weather has been unusually cool
this spring, but there isno comparison
between the weather and the action Of
Republicans now holding federal of
fees in various states, in writing letters
to the heads OF the departments under
which they are, asking that they be al
lowed to remain in Office. Even such
pronounced partisan politician as
the notorious Webster Flanagan, now
collector OF customs at Ell Paso Texas
has written asking that he be kept in
Office. Evidently Flanagan is of the
same mind now concerning the holding
OF federal Office that he was almost 8
score of years ago when he started &
National Republican Convention, to
which he was a delegate, when the
same subject was up, by asking
"What are we here for?" 1t is probable
that he will soon learn what the Demo
| cratic administration is here for and
the knowledge will hardly please hin
over much.

Some Italians were arrested in Phil
adelphia this week for counterieiting
pennies. II they we're determined to
ngage in the manufacture OF money
putting in honest weight and proper
material as called for by statute. they
should have inside silver collars This
would have given them much more
liberal margin for profit, without in
curing the liability of heaven for
penalty if caught.
1t is probable that counterfeit silver
which, in one sense, is not counterfeit,
is in circulation today to amuch great
er extent than We imagine, A silver
dollar of proper weight and fnensss
can be made for ~ copts, which allows
margin Of profit Of nearly 80 per ct.
Such an inducement is thus held out
to dishonest men that it is not likely
to have been overlooked. Nor is the
opportunity confined to this country.
The subsidiary coinage of England,
France and Germany presents as good
a field for the work of the honest
counterfeiter as the United States. In
deed it is the opinion Of men abroad,
who are we'll qualified 70 judge, that
already large amount OF counterfeit
subsidiary coin is in circulation, with.
out any possible way of distinguishing
| the bad from the good. If,this is so,
we may reasonably conclude that our
silver dollars woulo not have escaped
the attention of men engaged in max
ing this class of money.
II this class of dollars is worth as
much intrinsically as those issued by
The Government the people will not
suffer, but it brings to the front NOR
, al question that sooner or later must

E. L. HARPER, the Vice-President Of
the wrecked Fidelity National Bank,
Cincinnati, and who was sent to the
Ohio Penitentiary foi buying wheat
with other peoples money, was pardon
ed by President Harrison few weeks
before retiring from Office. Harper
was sentenced for ten pears, and was
taken to Columbus on the 18th OF
December, 1887, and his time-allow-
ing three years erdit for co complying
with prison rules-would have expir-
ed on the 1st of May, 1894. The par
don is said to be conditional one
and was recommended by the medical
board of the institution, who state
that the convict was afflicted with an
organic disease, The prison officials
have taken pains to avoid any unnec
essary excitement or demonstration
when Harper is released, He will
therefore be allowed to quietly make
his exit soon after midnight, May LIST
when the majority OF the people vii
be asleep in their beds, and will i'm
mediately take the early morning
train for Cincinnati arriving there il
time to eat breakfast with his wife anC
children. Harper will be acoompanie
from Columbus to Cincinnati by
man named Cooper, who willenter in
to partnership with him in the broE
erage business in the latter city.

Uncle sam,e Army servants.

The report OF the civil service com.
mission shows that;
ain 1917 the whole number OF en-
ployes in the puclic service was 5,60S,
including 1902 deputy postmasters
and 154 assistants or clerks. In 1856
there was 1882 employees. In 1867 thu
official register contained over 10000,
in 1877 about $3.50 and 1876 about
95, 40 names. In 1878 there were EN-.
ployed at Washington 392 persons. In
1868 the total number of clerks and
chief clerks in all the departments at
Washington was 722. A table show
ing the number OF employees by offices
and classes in the several departments
in 1858 is given in section 8, CHI. 81, U.
S. Stat. at Large, vol. 10, PIP. 109-2l0.
In 1885 there were 12,7l7 persons en-
ployed at Washington in 1889, 10, 234,
VIII lie in 1881 the number was 23, 144.'
This enormous growth of the civil
service list has far outstrinped in ratio
the increase in the population of the
country, yet it is not to be assumed
from that fact that The officials and
employees exceed nany material aspect
the legitimate needs of the Govern
ment service. A country whose growth
and development in every sense is as
marvellous as that Of the UniiedStates
must necessarily have a big civil SER
vice establishment. While some OF the
departments require but little clerical
force, but glance at the domain o.
some Of the Others is sufficient to show
the necessity for an army of employees
These are the Treasury, the Postofficl
and the Interior departments. Fin.
ances, postoffices, public land, pen
sions, patents, Indians, etc, in this vas
country, one single State of which

While some of the bureaus OF govern

AS time passes the doubt as to the
guilty Of Carlyle Harris increases.
This doubt is called by some people
sentimentalism, and maudlin imbecili-
ty, but the very persons who charac-
terize it as such show that they are

which the doubt rests, and they prove
that they are themselves guilty OF q
sort Of maudlin injustice that is far
more reprehensible than sentiment.

siderable significance. On the origin
al trial Of the case DR.. Kinmouth, a

been worthless, and leaves virtually
uncontradicted the highly important
statement that he had sold morphine
pills to the young women.-Memphis
