Civil Service Reform,

The, postmaster general devotes con-
siderable space TO discussion of civil
service. reform. There are 2S.324 en-
plcyeS in the classified civil service in the
postOtlice establishment of the govern
mtnt. He makes special comment on the
wholesale removals of Democratic clerks
in the railway mail service ut the be-
ginning Of the last administration. The
Important rule established by Mr.. Bis
sell that fourth-class postmasters shall
not be removed before the expiration Of
four years of incumbency unless for
cause shown, will, he thinks, have a
tendency to dignity the office by placing
it on par with presidential Offices IS to
tenure.
The postmaster general recommends
that the ten larger postotticcs of the
country-New York. Chicago. Philadel-
pha, Boston. ST. Louis, Cincinnati,
Brooklyn. San Francisco, Baltimore and
Pittsburg-be placed in n class by them
scl"cS, and appropriations made for them
by congress direct, without the intervrn-
t:oc ri rules and methods that are prop
eriy applicable to other postotfices. Prob
ably the most important order made by
Mr.. Bissell is the one which declares
that postmasters shall devote their time
connection he states that the time has
passed when postoftice appointment
Should be held as political sinecure.
In commenting on the 1913 removals
made by the last administration in the
railway mail service, Mr.. Bissell says:
"This action was the heaviest blow
ever dealt the civil service law, since
the effect of it was to debar experienced
clerks from the service and to protect
in their positions n large number of in
experienced new appointees. 1t is not
to be wondered at that the employees
thus summarily dismissed regarded the
law itself as hateful obstruction to
fair treatment and justice. This senti-
ment has recently been emphasized in the
case of many who hoped for reinstate-
ment upon discovering that the interview
ing four years have so far advanced
their ages that they are now ineligible
even for examination under the age
limit"

Death OIL. VI. Robinson.

Mr.. John NJ. Robinson, president of
the system of railroads known as the
Seaboard Air Line, and president of
the Old Dominion Steamship Company,
and one of the most widely-known
business men of Baltimore, died in that
city yesterday morning at his home,
after brief illness of Bright's disease.
Mr.. Robinson was in the fifty-eighth
year of his age, and until recently had
enjoyed excellent health.
John Moncure Robinson was born in
Richmond and educated at the Virginia
Military Institute, Lexington, the Law
renee Scientific School, and later grad
uated from Harvard with honors. Then,
his father owning large interest in rail
roads, John NJ. was put in the rail-
road shop, where he served his time,
and from there he entered the civil en-
gineer corps in the construction of rail
roads, thus perlecting himself for his
future business in life, which he accom-
plshed with so much distinction. Dur
ing the war he was selected to have
charge of large portion of the railroad
transportation of the Confederacy, and
was sent to England on important bust
ness for the engineering department.
He served with ability on the stats of
Generals Loring, Jones and Breckin-
ridge, and was later sent again to Eu-
rope on important business for the Con-
federacy, living for some time in Lon
don and Spain. Mr.. Robinson's father
was Moncure Robinson, who died in
Philadelphia about year ago.

A Snnok with Corscts.

One of the oldest trials ever held in
Washington was that of three news
paper men in the police court yester-
day, charged with tearinga garter and
nairc f rorsets from the astral form OF

tel Albert. There wee hundred or
more spiritualists, investigators" and
mediums in the court room yesterday,
and their sympathies were very evil
IDENTIFY with Mrs Ross. J. Harry Shan
non. the newspaper man who was ar
rested and on trial, was defended by
Mr.. A. A. Lipscomb, whose witty and.
ut times, sarcastic comments greatly
ratified the spirtualist witnesses.
The story of Shannon's oilense was
told by himself in court. He attended
the seahce on the night of the 18th of
January with two friends, and sat for
an hour or two listening to touching
interviews between those forming the
circle and the spiritual forms inside
the cabinet.
While DR.. Zach. Wheat was holding
conversation with his spirit grand
mother. Shannon suddenly darted for
ward, ducked, and, reaching between
the doctors legs, caught hold Of the leg
of DR.. Wheat's ghostly grandma. AT
the same moment the light was turned
on from one of the jets, and Shannon
was found struggling with a scantiy-
clad and very solid inhabitant of this
sphere. He claims that it was Mrs.
Ross. and that she was attired only in
pair of corsets, an undershirt and
stockings, with carriers. He shows, as
proof, the corsets that were dropped in
the scuiile, and the garter that was
caught in the first reach. The spirit
disappeared from his grasp, however,
and escaped into an adjoining bedroom.
The corsets and carriers were shown as
evidence of the solidity and worldliness
of the spirit visitant.
Judge Miller, after hearing the testi-
mony of number of witnesses, dis.
missed the case, as he declared that as
the meeting was not religious one,
and as investigation and Investigators
were invited, Mr.. and Mrs. Ross must
abide the results of such investigation,
even if it resulted in demolishing furni-
tire

WEDNESDAY EVENING, FEB. 10, 1893.

THE BALTIMORE SIN says: The ap-
poiutment of Judge Gresham will be
considered in two aspects: first as q
party measure, and, second, rs meas
ure of patriotism In neither of which
will it pass muster. 1t certainly can
not benefit the party to turn down all
the old and admired leaders thereof in
order that a man, no matter how re-
spected, who until last year was re-
publican. aud who has never yet pub
liclv proclaimed himself member OF
the democratic party, may be put IN
the line of the Presidency; and few
democrats will concede that patriotism
will be better promoted by making a
man who subscribes 10 only one demo-
cratic doctrine, premier of democratic
administration, than one who all his
life has subscribed to every tenet OF
the democratic faith The President
elect is conspcuously right in his re-
corded expressions in respect of tariff,
silver and pensions; but he is human,
and therefore fallible, and in the Gresh-
am matter he made great mistake.
Possibly he would rather be right than
be President, but the fact that he has
been elected does not make every thing
he says and does right, as some people
seem to suppose.
