BosroS GLOBE: The enterprising
business men Of this country are in
no mood to tolerate the croaker,
whether in or out of politics. They
see and know that better times are
in sight and they do not propose
that the revival Of American trade
and commerce shall be delayed,
merely because few republican
partisans imagine that their cause
can be advanced by "doleful dumps
tactics. To seek to delay the return
of prosperity is the most foolish OF
foolish political schemes. 1t is
against every interest OF this coun-
try, and every business man is and
must he its sworn foe.

Roosevelt's Comments on Civil
Service Reform.
REMARKS ON THE BYNUN MEASURE

Proposing the Reinstatement OF Certain
Railway Mail Clerks-win Only BE .

tension Of the Reform wanted-Capital
City Notes.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-Civil Service
Commissioner Roosevelt, in an interview
On civil service matters, said that the
commission was now on far better foot
ing than ever before for efficient work.
This was due to the fact that the
commission. under legislation pushed by
Senators Lodge and Cockrell, hereafter
would have it own force of clerks, instead
Of being dependent on clerks detailed to it
by the several government departments
The civil service commissioner denounced
the Bynum bill for the reinstatement of
the Democratic railway mail clerks dis
missed prior to the classification of the
railway mail service under the civil SER
partisan measure.
Would Lead to Reprisala.
He said: IF it should become a law it
would be precedent for the enactment of
similar measures whenever a change of
administration took place. 1t is intro
duced purely in the interest of the spoils
monger and is a thoroughly vicious bill
in every way. Then wish to call atten-
ton to the recent decision of the attorney
general, which permits solicitation for
political purposes by letter in government
/ huttl ., 1x.~ll
mission must Immediately request the
passage of a law to prohibit such solicita-
ton. The commission has always insisted
that solicitation for political purposes was
illegal whether done in person or by letter
in u government building. 1t was owing
to this Interpretation that we were able to
very nearly break UP the practice during
the last presidential campaign.
| Conviction OF Two OGicials.
"As the aftermath of that campaign we
have procured the conviction of two gov
eminent officials. one postmaster in
Ohio and the other "a deputy internal rev
enue officer of Kentucky, but we have
never had case tried in tine courts where
| the accusation WAS that the solicitation
was by letter. NIne-tenths of the good
done by the law will vanish if solicitation
by letter is allowed. and although tn,
commission will of course do all it can Il
protect employees il they are molested il
any way for refusing to contribute. it i.
imperative that we should be given power
to prosecute any attempt at political as
assessment in government buildin:
either by letter or otherwise"
Wants the Classified Service Extended.
The commissioner expressed the hop
that there would be great extension O
the classified service and that there would
be great reduction in the number OF
places now excepted, on one theory or an
other, from the operation of the civil serv
ice rules, including not only the depart
ments, but the postoffices and custom
houses throughout the country, and il
this connection he called attention to sew
eral instances in which old and efficien
employees had been gotten rid of by indi
| reefs methods

MURDERED az MISTAKE.
An Extraordinary Story Of . Father WI
Killed His Son For Another.

An Extraordinary Story Of . Father Who
Killed His Son For Another.
An extraordinary story is reported
from Tarnopol, in Galicia A peasant
named Adam Gawrydo, whose properly
is in small village near Zbaraz, in
Galicia cut his own son s throat with
kitchen knife by mistake. Some weeks
ago Hebrew merchant, Solomon Barb,
bought old Gawrydo's stock of honey
and paid so forms in advance to make
the bargain valid. When the time for
delivering the honey came, the peasant
declared that he could not keep his word
and was prepared to pay any damages
to tho merchant that the rabbi might
decide.
They both went to tho rabbi, who
said the peasant must pay the merchant
10 forms damages. This he did most
willingly, and both went away together.
On the way home they stopped at a way
side inn and did not leave it till night.
1t began to rain, and the peasant asked
the merchant to pass the night in his
house. The merchant accepted, and
they went home together. The peasant
prepared a bed of straw in the barn.
and when the merchant had laid down
went to his own room after carefully
locking the barn door. This frightened
tho merchant so much that he got up,
felt his way about until he found a Sec
ond door, which was bolted from tho
inside, left the barn and started to walk
back to the iun.
In the meantime tho son Of the peas
ant returned home half drunk, and find
ing the barn door open walked in and
dropped ON the bed of straw prepared
for the stranger. He was soon fast
asleep. The merchant ON his way to the
inn met q gendarme, who asked him
where he was going so late. Barb told
him all that had happened, and the gem
darme, thinking he had dangerous
man before him who was lying to avoid
suspicion, asked him to go with him TO
the peasants house. There they found
Gawrydo in the act of washing his
hands, which were stained with blood.
When he saw them he exclaimed, "Sure-
| ly killed you an instant ago3' The
| gendarme searched the house and in the
barn found the son of the peasant dead,
with his throat cut. The peasant was
Immediately arrested. - Vienna Cor

WASHINGTON. Aug 3O.-The secretary
of the treasury has decided that under the
terms of the new tariff bill payments Of
sugar bounties on claims already filed can
not be legally made. 1t is not denied that
persons who have filed claims for sugar
produced during the last year, may have
"a just claim against the govern ment, the
only contention being that under the
terms of the new law it is made illegal for
the secretary to pay them.

THE LATEST SUNSET.


sscHoMfsH, June q. 1894.
To TIE EpIToR: Does the sun SET later
On June u or june BOZ SUBSCRIBER
THE difference in the times Of sunse. on
June 70 and 81 depends on the difference
in the suns declinstion st sunset on these
days. and this in turn depends on the
exact time when the sun makes his high
est defamation: consequently whether the
sun sets later on the 9th or 2fst depends
also on the place for which our time IS
reckoned For instance, this yesr the
suns greatest declination was reached at
SIS q. m, June q. Washington City
time. This corresponds TO II % a. m.
Greenwich time, and to 500 a. m,
Pacific standard time, on June q.
Hence, at Greenwich the sun set little
later on the 21st than on the 9th, because
at sunset on the former day the suns de-
clination was little greater than At sunset
on the latter day. At Washington City
the times Of sunset on the two days was
almost exactly the same, while on the Pa
cific coast the time of sunset was very lit
tie later on The 10Th. If there was any dit
ference at all In 1857 the time of sunset
was little later for all points in Europe and
the United States on the 21st, and
the same will be true in 1906
However, the difference in the times of
sunset on June 20 and June p is always
very small never exceeding six seconds
This is because the suns declinanon is
nearly the same on each Of these days,
varying less than one-half minute OF an
arc. Generally speaking that day is con-
sidered the longest which notes the suns
highest north declination. This is nearly
always June 81 by our civil time reckon
