The MINORITY report of the civil
service commission contains the follow
inc. the truth Of which is so glaring
that it must be seen by all who are not
stone blind:
"The American people realize that
the extension of the classified, service
does not necessarily mean civil service
reform. That extension increases by
thousands the representatives in office
of a party whose members already, IN
classified places, outnumber the mem
bers of the oldest party in the country
in the proportion of probably three or
four to one. When such extension is
ordered by an administration and goes
into effect shortly before the govern
ment is turned over to another admin
istration of different political faith,
known to be friendly to the cause OF
civil service reform, it is difficult to
make fair minded men Of all parties be-
lieve it is a non-partisan measure"
And yet for writing it, the removal
of General Johnston, q southern demo
crat. was demanded by his two northern
republican colleagues, and their de-
mand was complied with by the Presi-
dent who was nominated and elected
by the votes of southern democrats.
Sad but true.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE Graphic to-
day publishes an interview with Adj
miral Horribly. He says that Great
Britain could not hold the Mediter-
ranean with its present feet. Unless
the British naval force is stronger than
the French force, the British in the
event of war are bound to be beaten,
for the French officers and seamen
know their work as well and have as
good ships as the British. Further
more, they have the better strategic
position, holding as they do both sides
of the Mediterranean.

The Paris Bomb Thrower.

AS stated Saturday, bomb was
thrown in the French Chamber of Dep
uties that day, and thirty members, in
Guiding President Dupuy, several re-
porters and a number of visitors, one of
whom was an American lady, were in
iured. No one was killed.
On the floor of the house the terror
was great, many Deputies rush.
ing like mad for the exits. Presi-
dent Dupuy alone kept his head and
remained in his seat, calm and collect
ed, appealing to his colleagues to fol-
low his example and avoid any panic.
Auguste Valiant, alias Marchal,
rabid anarchist, confessed throwing the
bomb. He was badly wounded him
self. Valiant was among the specta-
tors detained in the Chamber after the
explosion. His right arm was shatter
ed, his nose was blown off and his neck
and chest were lacerated. He still suf-
fers much pain. At the hospital, when
accused of the act by the detective,
Valiant started, hesitated a moment,
then blurted out pettishly: $50 Lam.
Yes, am Auguste Valiant and | threw
the bomb, because have had enough
of this blood-sucking burgeois society,""
He then told his story with an air of
bravado. He attended the Chamber,
he said, for the purpose of throwing
the bomb at NJ. Dupuy, president OF
the house. A woman who sat next to
him, seeing him prepare to throw the
bomb, tried to seize his arm. She fail
ed in the attempt, but spoiled his aim.
The bomb struck the cornice of the
public gallery and EMPLOYED. Valliant's
injuries were so severe that he fell to
the floor. When the panic started in
the Chamber he tried, as did many
others, to escape, but was prevented by
the ianitors. In concluding his confess
sion Valiant said 81 am sorry | fail
ed. I hope others who follow me will
be more fortunate. Long live anarchy"
Doubts have arisen as to whether
Valiant was the man who threw the
bomb. 1t is suggested that he was an
accomplice and that he simply screen
ed the man who threw the bomb.
When Valiant was examined he de-
clared that he had hoped to kill CAST
mir-Perier and at least $50 deputies.
Fearing repetition of the Paris out
rage in Berlin, the members of the

If WITH heavy tax on raw mate
rials, American manufactures can COM
pete successfully in foreign markets
with foreign made goods, as they do,
why will not the exports of such manu-
features be greatly increased by the re-
moval of such tax? 1t will be, of
course; but certainly the tax on the ar
ticles made of such materials should
also be removed, so that the consumers
of this country may receive some ofthe
resulting benefits.

WHEN THE Lehigh strike began, its
leaders published a card rendering tie
services of the strikers to preserve or
der along the line and to protect the
company's property. Strikes rarely
succeed, but certainly the circular re-
ferred to was the best means that could
possibly have been adopted to make
the one alluded to do so. Since it was
published, however, the property of
the company has been injured, and the
men who took the places of those who
abandoned them have been wounded
and some of them killed. This shows
the difference between words and deeds;
but, what's more, it also shows that the
strike was doomed TO failure, for when
violence is resorted to, the sympathy of
all law abiding people always tuins
against the offenders.

DIED FROM A DREAM.-Congressman
Justin R. Whiting, of Michigan, has
lost child whose death is due to the
fright caused by dream. The Con-
gresham has family of nine children,
of whom Catherine, a fonr-year-old girl
was the youngest. All day Friday She
was playing in the street, in Washing
ton, with her companions, and when
the nurse put her to bed she seemed in
the best of health. Shortly after mid
night the household was awakened by
the screams of the child, and when they
rushed into her room the little girl was
sitting up in bed her face picture of
terror and emitting the most frightful
sounds. All attempts to calm her
proved fruitless, congestion of the brain
developed, and in a short while the
child was dead. 1t is supposed that
the child had a terrifying dream, which
was so vivid as to frighten her to
death,

SOME of those who attempt to mod
crate the resentment that all right mind
ed people naturally entertain for the
rratuitous and reckless murderers who
throw dynamite bombs among crowds
of unsuspecting people, are already
saying that the blood-thirsty wretch
who hurled one of those death-dealing
missiles from the gallery of the French
Chamber down among the deputies
last Saturday, probably came from
the hand of man whose mind was not
evenly balanced" There is only one
way, in France, to balance such minds,
and that is to chop off the heads in
which they are contained. If death
were the certain and immediate portion
of all bomb throwers, they would SUBJ
side at once.
