A WEST AFRICAN DRAMA.

The accidental shooting OF number OF Brit
ish soldiers by French troops in West Africa
attracts attention to the highly interesting
operations in progress there which, because Of
other more sensational exploits elsewhere, have
until now had little notice The Guinea Coast
is noteworthy above all other parts OF Africa
for the reason that II Is minutcly divided INTO
colonies or possessions Of several different
Powers. A score Of years ago such was not
the case. Between the Senegal and the Gaboon
the bulk Of the whole vast stretch was free.
unclaimed There was Liberia OF course, and
there were four or five British stations on the
coast couple Of Portuguese stations, and one
Spanish But the bulk Of the coast line. and
all the cumberland dozen miles back, were
unapproprlated. At present every men or the
coast is taken, and the Independent "hnter-
land " is vanishing as swiftly rs would snow

THE CLEANSING or HUDSON COUNTY.

THE CLEANSING or HUDSON COUNTY.
There has been n great political cleansing in
Hudson County. y. j.. in the last few months.
and there Is TO be much more Of moral wash
ing and scrubbing. For years the political
bandits who held Jersey City and the rest Of
Hudson County in terror delcd all law reck-
lcssly and mpudently. They had no fear that
police officials would take action against them,
for they and the officials were Of the same
band, engaged in the same nefarious practices.
Grand Juries would not indict, for the Grand
Jurors were drawn from their own ranks; pub
lie prosecutors would not bring cases 10 trial
and convict lawbreakers because the prose
cutors were placed and kept in their offices by
the men who broke the laws. Hudson County
was a Utopia for criminals. and Jersey City
was its capital Against the laws OF the State
and the wishes Of respectable people officials
not only permitted racetrack gambling to 90
on, but they took part in the illegal sport and
shared In its profits. Honest men who at.

1t appears from the official statement of CHIEF
Examiner Carmody of the State Civil Service
Commission that there was deliberate ana
studied ignoring Of the Civil Service law-to put
the mildcst construction upon it-by the recent
Democratic State officials. In some cases there
was an understanding that violations OF the
law prior to June l., 1892, were to be overlooked,
and in other cases there were 'tacit agreements
with the Commission to the effect that the
violations would not be taken into account.
This gives point to the recent charges of viola
tons of the law made by the Civil Service re-
formers The heads of State departments are
all Republicans now. and measures have already
been taken by some of them to see that the
laws are carefully carried out in this regard.
There seems to be an irresistible Democratic
tendency to get around" Civil Service regula-
tons wherever this Is possible.

In England great importance is attached 10

Of certain constituencies to render fresh

Both these districts are normally Democratic
but there are numerous signs already that many
Democrats have made up their minds to vote
for the Republican candidates. The Importance
Of these elections Is sef-evident II the Republi-
cans are elected the result will furnish PROOF
positive that the people have had enough OF
Democratic monkeying with the tariff. Inc Ke-
publican voters in both these districts should
bcstir themselves in preparation for the elections
and see to It rot only that they vote them
selves. but that their neighbors and friends vote
also.

he may let the Democrats down easy by adyis

Republicans to organize the Senate. Meantime

Hints to HOusekeepers.

BE careful here you keep your flour.
Like butter.it absorbs odors readily. 1t
should not be kept in a place where
there are onions, fish, vegetables or
other odorous substances, nor in damp
room or cellar. Keep it in a cool, dry,
airy room, where it will not be exposed
to "a freezing temperature, nor TO one
