"Gentlemen, we know next to
nothing about this china which stands
before you, and of which you have
just testified your approval. We can
not give you it's detailed history All
we know is that these vases have been
hidden away in country rectory in
the Midlands for forty years and more.
Anything further back seems to be
absolutely uncertain. One thing, how

rope, the finest existing examples of
this beautiful ware. We now know
there are seven. The sixth and sew

Another round OF applause greeted
the conclusion Of this speech. The
bidding began. Mr. and Mrs. James
Fitzroy stood in the corner unnoticed,
breathless with suppressed excite
ment. No one needed them They
again played second fiddle to their
own property.
Five hundred pounds was the first
bid for the pair. cheer emphasized

there was a pause, amid silence which
could be felt and almost heard Only
three bidders were left. Every one
understood that they were gathering
up their forces for the final conflict.

auctioneer remarked, quietly.
The hint was taken, and the bidding
began again 'FFifteen hundred

ment. The hammer falls. The crowd

England is the purchaser. Mr.. James
Fitzroy is the weather. by one thous-

roy marks her appreciation Of the
gravity of the situation and her own
good luck in true feminine fashion, by
promptly fainting.
It reads like a romance, yet hap

About the same time a girl chances
to die of starvation. Nobody need do
that in England, as Mr.. Scrooge in his
palmy days, before the ghosts got to
tampering with him, would have taken
care to point out. But they do occa

sents it very naturally as bad form.
One Of the weekly papers saw fit to
couple the episode of the vases and
the death of the girl together, although |
the two things were quite distinct.
The effort was lyrical, and the last
couplet ran:

The saying, ''There is more than one
way to skin cat" seems to apply with
force to the course pursued in the SEN
ate with the MARKHAM bill. 1t passed
the house without opposition, and the
people OF the state felt encouraged to
believe that it would surely become a
law. But it turns out that the railroads
had picked out different field III which
to play their batteries, and the moment
it reached the senate they let loose. In
that body the bill has been placed on
special order three times, and discussed
until the senators we're black in the
face. Yesterday it was placed on spe-
cial order for next Tuesday.
1t seems clear that it is the inteD-
ton to talk the bill to death,
and kick the corpse into the
street. 1t has been discussed until
there is not new idea to be presented;
the arguments in favor OF its passage
are so overwhelming that there is not u
spot left for the opposition to stand
upon, and there is no good reason for
the action of yesterday. 1t simply
means that if there is any way of kill
ing the measure, it shall be improved.
The chances are that the people must
continue to bear the burden OF taxation,
leaving the railroad companies to escape
with only the payment of per cent
upon their gross earnings. The railway
corporations are masters of the situa-
ton in about every contest with the

JOSIAH QUINCY.

President CLEVELAND has appointed
JOSIAH QUINCY, of Boston, assistant
secretary of state, and he has accepted.
Mr.. QUINCY is a lawyer i'll excellent
standing, and was the chairman of the
su bcommittee of the national Demo
cratic committee on literature during
the last campaign. Those who had OPP
portunity 10 compare the output of the
literary bureaus of the last two pFesi-
dental campaigns will appreciate Mr..
QUINCY's ability as editor OF a campaign
committee. Mr.. QUINCY comes of the
old family of that name which has
played in each generation an important
part in the affairs of the state. He is
connected by descent with the ADAMS
family, which has given the country two
presidents.
But the free traders of the coun try
will be the heartiest in their approval
of this appointment. Following the
selection of Mr.. MORTON, this is the
second member of the national conven-
ton Of free traders which met in Chi
cago in 1885 whom President CLEVE-
LAND has taken into his cOunselS. At
that meeting Mr.. QUINCY was a dele
gate from Massachusetts, and in the
absence of JAMES MEANS. the widely
advertised maker of ''SS Shoes" read
the paper prepared by him on the rela-
tons of the shoe trade TO free trade.
The country has moved far and fast
along the lines taken by that conven-
ton, and on which it was but the Skin
mishing party. Its moderate demands
were then thought heretical, and the
future showed no promise that its voice
| was anything more than that of one cry
| ing in the wilderness. Looking back
eight years to the condition of public
opinion then, and measuring the dis
lance covered today, the survivors of
that convention may turn their faces to
the future with a confidence in what is
near at hand which they could not feel
then. Progress now will be easier and
! speedier.

JUMPING CLAIMS.

The GLOBE is rather pleased than
otherwise to see its morning contempt
rary of the faith paternal picking out so
much of the inaugural address of Presi'
dent CLEVELAND and labelling it Re-
publican doctrine. 1t will smooth the
pathway TO Democracy which so many
Republicans are now treading to learn
that SO much that they had esteemed
sound Republicanism is, after, all good
Democratic doctrine.
If it were not for the regard the
GLOBE has for the absolute veritles, {
would prefer to let the Pioneer Press
rest in The fond delusion which pieaseS
it so much and Injuries no one; but truth
is truth, and its integrity must be pre-
served, though "iridescent dreams" be
dissolved.
Civil service reform began with Re-
publicans, and was killed by them.
Congressman JENKEs. amid great diff
culties, succeeded in getting the act
through about 1870. GEORGE WILLIAM
CURTIS, then a Republican, was one of
its active promoters, and was made
chairman of the first commission. pOR-
MAN Is. EATON, a Democrat, was a'co-
labOrer with CURTIS. GRANTS early
support of the act gave way quickly TO
indifference, and Republican congress
refused the appropriation to keep the
act in force, and it died. The next eff
fort was begun by Senator PENDLEToN,
of Ohio, a Democrat, and his bill was
ptgeonhOled in the committee until the
sweeping congressional defeats OF 1882,
with which the Republican anti-civil
service reform attitude was thought to
have been connected, sent congressman
and senators fairly tumbling over each
other in their haste to get the bill out
of the pigeonhole and passed, before a
Democratic house came in. If passing a
measure introduced by Democratic
senator under the sting Of a sound lar
ripping by the people makes this a Re-
publican measure, then the GLOBE cheer
fully admits the claim of its contem-
pOrarY.
The fact is, and fairness demands that
it be admitted. the act is not the pride
of certain class Of the politicians of
either party. They were strong enough
to throttle the JENKES act, but the
PENDLETON act has thriyen in spite of
them. Its continual growth and eX-
pausion show that it has firm seat in
the esteem of the masses of the people,
and the politicians who hate it are re-
spectful to the wishes of the people. 1t
is a striking instance of the persistence
against all obstacles of right idea.

A MONOPOLY BURST.

Yesterday the backbone of the Bell
telephone monopoly was broken by the
expiration of the "bottom patents"
The patents upon the transmitter and
receiver prevented any rival telephone
from coming into use. This was prob
ably the most complete monopoly ever
known in America. Many years it has
been absolute master of the field, and
the people were forced to pay SUI CHI
prices as it saw fit to charge. Some
time back the company has been
paving the way to continue its
grasp after the patents expired. Many
people look upon its movement in st.
Paul, by which it occupies under
the streets wide space with its conduits,
as an effort to embarrass rivalry. The
room under the streets for more con-
duitS is now quite limited, and when

However, rival companies will, with
