The frequency ofcaseS similar TO Miss

thought. Insurance companies are not
to blame, for their objects are humane
and beneficial, but at the same strict
err scrutinization of applicants for life
insurance, and inquiring into the con-
ditions and circumstances OF the appli-
cant, might in some degree Lessen the
number OF tragedies that are chronicled

President Cleveland aud the Civil
Service.

octNfSos
MI. Carl Schurz, az president OF the
National Civil Service Reform Associa-
ton. taking sort OF official view oil
President Cleveland, does not regard
him as enough a civil service roformer
10 hurt. The Presidents case is not go
bad that all hope of recovery is gone.
In the opinion of Mr.. schurz some
things in the civil service way have
gone very we'll under this administra-
ton. but in the treasury department
reform has slipped back several admin
istra.ions. This criticism is not too Sc
we're. II there has been anything oil
civil service reform in the treasury de-
partment under Secretary Carlisle 1t
must have been brought about in the
absence of Mr.. Logan Carlisle, the Sec
retary's son, and without that young
mans knowledge and consent.
Mr.. Logan Carlisle, upon entering on
his duties as headsman Of the treasury
department and dispenser OF the spells,
iumped in with will to do everything
he knew how to do in opposition to the
shirt Of civil service reform, very often
in opposition to the spirit OF ordinary
decency. His triumph on this line oil
endeavor has been the most distin-
puished success of this administration.
Mr.. Schurz has heard about this and,
as civil service reformer, is not happy.
In speaking of the President, MIR.
Schurz recalls that there was time
when Mr.. Cleveland was supposed to
stand "high above the ordinary poll
tician's aspirations and practices.
That was when Mr.. Cleveland was very
little known and before he got well into
the business. 1t is true that he has
shown some devotion to the cause oil
civil service reform by putting a good
many OF his partisans under its shelter
ing wing, as he has just done for 1900
employees of the internal revenue bureau;
but this is as likely to be on account oil
his offensive partisanship" as from
any lofty design to contribute to the
reform Of the civil service.
Taxing one consideration with an
other it is not strange that the the men
who have devoted themselves to the
cause OF civil service reform see with
pain that the Cleveland administration
has been anything else than q civil SER
vice reform propaganda. This is just
what they might have expected. They
made the mistake Of thinking that Mr..
Cleveland went into Office consecrated
to the cause. Now they know that he
is not that kind OF man.

Gen Dan sickles never loses an OPP
portunity to defend the pensioned veter.
ans against the aspersion which this
administration has cast upon them. In
his latest speech in the house on this
subjective takes the pension office to ac-
count for making war on veterans, very
few OF whom it has convicted OF fraud.
Conviction is not the aim OF the ad-
ministration, for that is very different
matter from charging wholesale frauds.
II ia much easier to proceed on the
assumption that there is vast amount
of fraud and then go in to suspend in
Discriminatory, advising the suspended
pensioners that If they wish to be re-
stored they must prove that they are
entitled to the pensions they have been
receiving.
This is a new kind OF proceeding for
which this administration deserves all
the credit General Siclilcs is Demo-
crat, but he wants none Of that peculiar
sort OF credit. He prefers that the vet
Grams Of the Union shall have justice.

REPUBLICANS in the house have taken
tho right stand on the appropriation to
put the income tax in operation. They
declined to fight the appropriation, on
the ground that the measure being q
law they would not do anything to pre-.
vent its execution. That is good ground
to take. Maiorities have some rights
which minorlt:es should respect The
income tax is bad, but it is not Repub-

Dealing With Contagious Disease.
Cleveland has an epidemic Of scarlet
fever serious enough for the authorities
to invite physicians ito meet 10 discuss
the propriety OF closing the public
schools. 1t was the opinion Of some Of
the physicians that closing the schools
would be the quickest way to stamp
out the disease.
Others thought this was rot necessary
if teachers would prevent the attend
ance Of pupils from homes where the
disease exists, a way Of not getting at
it which asks the teachers to do some.
thing nearly impossible.
In the course OF the discussion it was
developed that some physicians boast
openly that they do not report cases Of
this kind to the health officer. Similar
complaint has been made in Wheeling.
Where the law demands this of physi-
clans the law should be complied with
or the delinquent given reason to do
better next time.
At the Cleveland meeting a physician
reported that recently there had been a
large attendance Of persons at a funeral
OF child who died of scarlet fever. A
mother was there with two young chill
dreu, and now these children have the
fever. There are mothers in Wheeling
who see no reason why they and their
children may not attend any funeral,
no matter what tho cause OF death.
Certainly here 10 place where the
law may take hold with firm hand.
One way to stamp out these diseases is
to isolate the cases. A big funeral is
not isolation.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE
Official Announcement That the President
Has Done with LiIiuokaIani.

WARRINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Hawaiian
resolution was again the subject of discus
sion in the senate yesterday. Senator Gray
resumed his argument In support of the
presidents policy, and reiterated his
charges that the revolutionists were de
pendent on the United States minister and
the United States forces for support of
their movement, and that thereafter the
provisional government depended abso-
lutely upon the United States forces and
the flag for protection and for the maiute-
nance of the government they had estab
lished. The full significance of the pres
ent Hawaiian situation came out at the
close of the senator's speech, when in a
collouuy with Senator Teller he admitted
that as member of the foreign relations
committee he understood the efforts of the
president to restore the queen were at an
end. The house bill to compel the Rock
Island railroad to stop its trains at Enid
and Round Pond, Oklahoma, was called
up by Senator Berry and discussed for two
hours, but no result was reached.
The house spent the day in debate on
the Bland seigniorage bill. Several times
yesterday Mr.. Bland attempted to reach
an agreement for closing general debate
today. but objection was made. Over 400
members have asked for time to speak and
1t may be possible that special order will
be required to bring t he bill to vote, but
MIR, Bland does not think this method
Will have to be resorted to.
