a sparrow's UntimeIy End.

A curious thing occurred at Charles II
Denny S farm in Deep Neck, near Royal
Oak, says an exchange. Ia his barn
swallow had built her nest, as barn
swallows do, high up among the rafters.
There are also a number of English spar
rows on Mr. Denny's premises, and these
pugnscious featherlngs are always az
war with the other birds An English
sparrow can do more lighting and win
more battles than any other bird Of It's
size and weight-indeed, more than most
birds Of double its size and weight
few days ago Mr. Denny was in his
barn, and the swallow was on her nest
Presently there came in through the
open door an English sparrow. who at
tackled the swallow. and drove her from
the nest The two birds then had fur
ious battle, which went on sometimes in
the air aud sometimes on the ground.
The swallow was courageous, but 70 had
not the wind of the sparrow, and finally
had to yield 70 its antagonist. Having
driven the swallow from the barn. the
victorious sparrow took possession Of the
nest and its contents
Mr. Denny remained in the barn TO see
whether OF not the SWALLOW would return

The spoils system.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
The report OF the Civil Service Com
mission presents some interesting and
suggestive facts with regard to what is
commonly called the spoils system. II is
shown that the original classification OF
the civil service, for the purpose Of hav
ing Offices disposed Of by tests Of merit
instead Of political claims, embraced
13, 924 places. That was in 1888 when the
total number Of Federal embloyes was
1871 $50 At the beginning Of Cleveland's
fret term there were 10, J73 placas IN the
classified service. Four years later, the
number was %, 78O, and It was increased
during Harrison's administration to
42 02S That is to say, since the
original adoption of the competitive
plan, about % 600 places have been
taken out of the list OF political spoils
1t viii be seen at a glance that this ma
teriGlly reduces the chances Of obtaining
offices by appointment for campaign ser
vices. The total number OF Federal
positions at present is 1873 4S8 but
43, 000 of them are beyond reach of The
sp0ilsmen, and that implies a serious
reduction of patronage for party uses.
III the oilice-seekers will consider these
| figures carefully, they cannot fail to see
that while they have been who0piug
things mp in the olectioneering line, with
the understanding that they were 90 re
ceive their reward in patronage "a sinister
influence has been gradually taking
away the means of realizing such
expectations; or, in other words,
knocking the props from under their
prospects from getting into the govern
ment service. It is likely that the clas.
sized service will be still further ex
tended from year TO year The people
are favorably impressed with the idea 50
far as it has been applied, and they vii
| insist on having it made permanent
feature of our political system There
must always remain a large number OF
Offices, however. which cannot properly
be brought within such a rule. Publ,
sentiment viii never endorse the theory
of general selection Of Federal em-
ployes by competitive examination. The
plan works well as at present enforced
because IL pertains only to places OF !
non political nature. which can be hllec
rs well by man Of one party as O
another But there are many Offices
which have a distinct political signid
canoe, and they will probably continu'
forever TO be filed with specia
reference to political considerations i
is not true. as the refOrmers are fond o
asserting. that a technical course o
training is necessary to tt men for gigel
places in the public service which have
political relation aud meaning. On th
contrary, such training too often has th'
effect Of spelling q mans usefulness, ans
making a mere machine of him Rota
tion in such places is desirable. There d
an advantage, also, in having prizes q

and half, the swallow did return TO the
barn, bearing in its mouth a bunch of
something resembling long horse hairs.
The bird went directly and noiselessly to
its nest, threw itself on the back OF the
sparrow that was sitting there, and
before that astonished bird had re-
covered from the shock caused by the
sudden and violent return Of its van
pushed foe, the swallow put a horse
hair moose around the sparrow's neck
and somehow fastened the other end OF
the lasso TO the nest OF ltheyrafter The
sparrow soon choked to death
"Ths was done about four days ago,
said Mr. Denny on Tuesday, "and the
dead sparrow is hanging there yet
Mr. Denny was the only person who
witnessed this curious incident, but
many others have seen the suspended
English sparrow.

nest, and every day for a half hour sew

NEWSPAPER OPINION.
The Shot From Ambush.

Washington Post.
Apparently it has again become neces.
sary for the Post TO inform its readers
and the public generally that these col
umns are not open to persons who wish,
for any purpose whatsoever, TO launch
anonymous accusation or innuendo at the
character, the motives and the acts Of
citizens, either in private or official life
We have made this declaration so often
and adhered TO II so consistently, that
we experience some surprise in having TO
repeat IL now, but the occasion arises
and we respond Il may not be out Of
place, however since the matter is once
under discussion (for at least the thou
sandth time, we would say to reiterate
the opinion that Of all meanness the
ambush against snother's reputation Is
the most offensive. When gentlemen feel
called upon, either by their abstract
patriotism or their devotion to the well
fare of some especial department Of the
government, to expose abuses and de
nounce delinquents, why should they
hesitate to do so in their own proper
names and persons2 If the evils really
exist and their motives In attacking them
be honorable, they win only respect and
commendatioR by coming forward They
have nothing TO fear, for theirs Is a
righteous cause Against the impotent
enmity Of one detected criminal they can
set the approval. the applause, the graft
tude Of society. Why should they hest
tate2
We have come to the conclusion that
men with their facts and their motives
above suspicion do not hesitate. Our ex-
perience teaches US that when accusers
seek TO conceal their identity IL
is prima facie evidence that they
are actuated by some impulse Of
which they have reason 10 be ashamed
And, believing this, we do not intend
that any one shall mask his batteries
| with the Post aud make our columns the
vehicle Of his anonymous and irrespon-
sible rancor We have no sort Of doubt
that this is the fair the manly, the
honest part, for throughout long and
conscientious aud vigilant test we have
never once had occasion to regret having
chosen 1t. Quite the contrary. We
should be glad, indeed, to see the prin-
ciple extended beyond the domain Of the
newspapers. We should like TO see the
last of arraignments Of public OH ioials
on mysterious charges submitted by un-
known accusers The country would be
the better for change of policy Ia this
respect. To say that vacancies can b.
created only by ousting the incumbent

" oke itself with conspiracy and to tel
men that their chances Of political pro-
motion depend upon their success as

vicious, abhorrent, degrading. It's opera

An Iowa paper, the Sioux Falls Argus
having denied the statement that the
present silver law was passed In order TO
avoid the passage Of free coinage bin,
the editor Of the Mitchell Republican
addressed a letter 60 Senator Sherman
and asked him the direct question
whether that statement was true or not,
and received the following reply.
"UNITED SrATKs SENATE CHAMBER.
"WAsHINeToN, ID. G May 10. 1898 !
"DEAR SIR. Your note of the 4th is
received with the enclosed clipping,
which / return as requested, You are
quite correct in saying that the passage
of the act of 1890 was necessary TO pre-.
vent the passage Of the free-coinage
bill. Very truly yours,
"JoHS SHERMAN"
Senator Sherman appears 90 have for.
gotten that IL required the signature Of
the President OF the United States to
make "a free-coinage bin effective as a
law and that the President at that time
was Benjamin Harrison Il was per
fectly certain that Harrison would have
vetoed the bill Il was that certainty
that caused the silvertes TO drop their
free coinage measure ana accept the
other thing which is commonly called
the sherman law. The upshot Of the
whole matter is that the Republicans,
with Mr.. Sherman at their head, passed
the present law rather than risk
the political effects OF veto by Har
rison Of a free-conage bill. They
feared the consequences of veto Ia tn,
mining states Of the West. Rather thar
incur that loss, they consented TO the
increase OF silver purchases to 4500, 90,
ounces monthly. We do not say tha
they we're any worse than the Democrats
| but il is as well TO tell the whole tIutl
as TO suppress one half Of it The hal
that Senator Sherman omitted is th
fact that no aud his party had a club n
reserve large enough to heve killed
free coinage bill IL IL had been passed
Therefore they were not under any rea
