Higginsvilie Leader: "Capt. A. K.
Asbury was officially notified last Monday
by the secretary of the Cons Of the Revo-
l%ution,' Henry Cadle, Of Bethany, Mo,
that he had been elected a member Of that
honorable body. Capt. Asbury's grand.
father on his mothers side, Pierce Baily,
received a grant Of 200 acres of land in
the revolutionary war. 1t was the record
OF his which proved the captains right
to membership. 1t is an honor Of which
he may justly feel proud. 1t was merely
an accident that he was persuaded to trace
back his ancestry. BY reading bis per.
sonal remIniscenses a friend was led to
suggest that he certainly was OF revolu-
tionary grand ~parentage. This set him to
work with the above result. Capt. Asbury
is probably the first person in Lafayette
county that has proven his right to this
distinction. Several other of our citizens

Friday morning, October 10, a man by
the name of Henry w. Clayton, who, 10
about twenty-four years Of age, and lame
in Eis left foot, hired n horse from Mr..
James c. Kelly, to go to Riverton. Instead
of going there, however, he rode to War

bride TO Charles Gates, of that place, for
four dollars. The horse was valued at
$500 and the saddle and bride at Sl4.O0.

that Chief oi Police Morrison began ia
question him concerning the manner in
which the horse came into his possession.

and he, accompanied by Mr.. Kelly, went
to Warrensburg and brought Clayton hers

Miss Pollard and Zella.

1t is a fact, says the New York Sun. that
representative New York theatrical manager
is in negotiation at the pres ent time with
Zella Nicolaus and Miss Pollard. with the
idea of putting both of these notorious women
on the stage. He is not small theatrical
schemer. but 4 manager OF prominence, and
he proposes TO put both of the women on the
stage the coming season if he can bind them
TO his satisfaction by contract. Miss Pollard
is considering this offer in connection with
another from the Wilbur Opera Company
and it is believed in theatrical circles that she
will be seen behind the ioothghts immedi-
ately after the summer season of ''Adonis' is
over Zella Nicolaus is wanted in burlesque
company. She has had one offer OF $50 a
week for forty weeks tour and all ex-
penses. 1t is. according to the statement of
the manager in question. good deal easier
to deal with the lady who has been
giving Col. Breckenridge a few sleepless
nights than it is to deal with the young
woman who disturbs the rest of Mr.. George
Gould during her wild peregrinations over
the face of the earth. Men are not of any
particular importance in the newspapers at
the present time.

OF letter carriers for political or other reasons
It provides that all carriers shall have hear
| ing on written charges before they can be
removed. Such a law would act as an enter
ing wedge, and the practice of securing the
exit from other government positions with
| such safeguards as are contemplated in this
bill would grow. until a complete divorce be-
tween the civil service and the politicians
would be had, and then the argument have
referred to would be groundless.
There seems nothing more certain nor more
just that to all government employees with
but few exceptions) should be held out the in
ducement of retention in their positions dur
ing good behavior. 1t doesn't seem at all
right that o man or woman with certain and
as a rule valuable experience should be sum-
marily dismissed from the public service for
the sole purpose of making vacancy forsome
one who has no such experience. No rail-
road corporation, nor any telegraph company
or other business concern. would think for
moment of dispensing with the services OF
tried and experienced employees on anything
like as flimsy and senseless a pretext as is
made use of by the government In discharg-
ing many of its servants.
There is no politics in what l say. THE
TIMES is paper for the people, and for no.
body but the people; and it speaks for their
best interest when it decries this over-encour-
aged unending strife for patronage. In this
scramble the peoples interests suffer, our
political campaigns become too largely
struggle between the .'ins" and ''outs," and
large questions affecting vitality the real well
fare of the people receive but scant consider
alton and less discussion.
A decree of absolute divorce between civil
service and the politicians should be recorded
on our statute books, and if that cannot be
had now. at least the letter carrier and the
politicians should be separated. Such part
nership is against public policy. in that it is
very injurious to the postal service. The let
ter carriers are just the men to inaugurate
this reform in the civil service, and If their
association, with its 49O branches, in as many
cities, cannot secure the passage OF the Ma
guire bill, it will not be their fault. They
wisely cite the conditions that obtain In the
army and navy relating to tenure Of Office
and that govern the uniformed forces of
many municipalities. The more the civil
service is removed from party politics the
nearer comes great boon to the people,
government ownership of the telegraphs.

A SORRY EASTER DAY.
Gay Habiliments Were Laid Aside While
Old Winter Had Last Inning.

Gay HabiIiments Were Laid Aside While
Old Winter Had Last Inning.
Twenty-Five thousand women in Washing
ton arose yesterday morning and peered
anxiously through the windows of their cham
bers; twenty-five thousand feminine lips
gave vent to deep disappointment. Cold,
bleak, and dreary broke the Easter morn. and
with sighs the dainty creations of the milliner
and the tailor were laid away. Old Boreas
foiled the paraders who were prepared to
grace Connecticut avenue. With his last ef-
fort the dying Winter spread his icy fingers
over the earth, chilling humanity till it was
glad to cling to somber. heavy habiliments.
The song of Easter was sung without refer
ing to the awakening of Spring. The
meadows and parks were not abloom. The
NEUROLOGICAL chicken cracked his shell, looked
out, drew back shIvering, and postponed his
hatch until warmer day. The riot OF bonnet
color did not glare at the fashionable divine
as he stepped to his pulpit. The fashion
plated chappie sadly folded his cream-colored
trousers. put them back under the mattress
and crawled into his ulster.
1t was too bad. Life seemed about to take
on brighter hues; humanity wished TO smile,
rejoice and be glud nature was prepared to
array herself in festal robes; Spring would
have sprung with springiness. and the heart

But it rained. and was, ugh how dismal
Paterfamilias growled over his breakfast

In turn; Miss Debutante pressed her face to
the pane and let her piety ooze out as the
church hour approached; Mr.. Youthfulblood
broke for the club. and the youngsters ad-
journed to the attic to escape the gloom.
The saddest creature in town. though. was
the newspaper man. who sat up until 2 O'Clock
Sunday morning pouring out gladsome notes
on all those things that did not happen.
The church obseryances. however. were
truly typical OF the spiritual significance of
the day. Through every vaulted roof there
arose the glad songs which have been sung in
every land where the name of Christ prevails
since the angel rolled back the stone from
His tomb Whatever of the sombre there is
in religion is laid aside on Easter and the
beautiful symbol of resurrection is set forth
in a profusion Of natures rarest flowers.
From every pulpit the same theme was ut
tered-Christ is arisen. To every soul was
presented the same hope. the hope of SINH
lar resurrection. To every heart came the
same feeling. the feeling of freedom from the
bonds of earth and the capitalization of the
senses. The thought of resurrection is a
beautiful one, a thought has charmed human
ity from Plato to the wearied slave, and TO
the Christian it has added significance in
that it is the realization of that in which he
lives. and which is incorporated into his very
self, the hope OF redemption in Christ.

OBSTACLES OF THE POOR.
Military Organizations are an Enemy to
the People Says Senator Peffer.

Military Organizations are an Enemy to
the People Says Senator Peffer.
large audience assembled yesterday after
noon at the Typographical Temple. 423 G
street northwest, to hear Senator PETER, of
Kansas, deliver an address on obstacles IN
the way of the Poor Mr. PETER said in
part:
There has never been in the history of the
church such glorious opportunity for a
practical movement in the promotion Of
Christianity rs to-day. The churches at the
present time are not as persistent in their
efforts TO extend the enlightenment OF the
soul as they should be. We believe in the
church and social observance. but 30 into a
church and see how much good there is ac-
tually being done. Men are actually driven
away because their appearance and habit is
not consistent with the latest mode dictated
by the fashions. The whole world is en-
ployed in a moral darkness.
''An order IN which unlimited good is being
done in the Farmers Alliance. Meetings are
opened and closed with prayer. A preacher
in its rank can do wonderful work. Their
prayers. their benedictions and their sermons
take the place of the prayers. benedctions
and sermons of the church. because Gods
minister has come down to the sphere of the
men and aiar from the connection that they
are in the magnetic presence of some saint they
feel as ii one OF their own ranks was address,
ing them.
In the same way the hack driver. the Sec
ton hand. the blacksmith and the most hum
BILE individual could be won over into u hap
pier and better life. Talk to them when you
are thrown in contact with them, encourage
and do rot degrade them. their hearts are in
full of sympathy and Christian devotion and
would gladly receive the spirit of God If they
had the opportunity.
The poor man is oppressed by the tyrani-
cal hand of the monopolist and millionaire.
All through the industries the sway of the
capitalist seems unlimited. When the laborer
makes demand for higher wages the wealthy
proprietor of the establishment compels him
by hired force to accept almost any PROPOSE
ton made by him. The capitalist has an in
fiuence in his money, he is powerful. arbitrary,
and overbearing.
"Over 16, 100000 of armed men are now in
the world. Military training and discipline is
being introduced into our schools. churches,
and colleges to an alarming extent, bringing
up the predominant idea that whatever is now
accomplished in this world will have to be
done by force and not by arbitration. The
moral forces alone move the world upward.
Militia is generally against the laborer when
he makes demand of the moneyed class, and
theoretically this vast army is against him.
