WHAT the democratic chiefs of 0ivis- ions and bureaus in the government de- partments in Washington think of their chances for remaining in office after the 4th of March, 1897, may be judged by the frantic efforts they are making to bring additional influence to bear up- on MT. Cleveland for the purpose of getting him to extend the civil service rules so that the aforesaid chiefs may be embraced in the classified service. Whatever might have been thought of such an extension in the early days Of the present administration, If done now bv Mir. Cleveland it will certainly not be considered reform. On the contrary, if will be considered an act of rank par tisenship, intended 10 keep the demo- cratic chefs in office under the coming coming republican administration. We should like to make one suggestion, Il Mir. Cleveland really intends @ put the chiefs in the classified service. That IS, that they be required to pass the same civil service examination that applicants for S1, 800 clerkships are before entering the classified service. It Is a notorious fact that very large per centage ot the democrats who now draw S2,0O0 8 year as chiefs could not pass the exami-
 nation given the applicants for the low
 est grade clerkships.

How Did He Die!

Two weeks ago The Sun chron icled the finding of the body of J.F. Ander- son upon the desert about twenty miles from Canyon Disblo. Justice of the Peace Prime and Dr. Francis were no- titied, but before their arrival the body had been buried, as it was given out that the depredations of the coyotes made further preservation impossible. Anderson had been sent to Carts ranch by Dick Jackson with an order for a stray horse and it was lntimated that he had come to his death by falling from bis horse, which returned home rlderless.
 Many strange romors are afoat that the man was murdered. People living Tn the vicinity assert that the body was marred with bullet wounds, and the authorities have decided to probe the mystery to the bottom. MT. Prime and Dr. Francis will lesre for the scene Monday. The body will be exhumed aEos post mortem hel6.-Coconino Sun

RRIGHT PROSPECTS.

Under the foregoing caption the San Francisco Chronicle says:
 The only general interest now remain ing in the election so far as the country at large is concerned is the control of she senate which is still in doubt It does not matter very much for the pres ent so far as economic Legislation is con- cerned, because a presidential veto would stand in the way of any bill for the benefit of American industries. It IS enough for the republicans to have the house and prevent things going from bad to worse. Then in 1896 they will be in a condition to resume respon- sible ccntrol of the affairs of the coun- try.
 It is doubtful if the democratic major ity in the present congress will attempt ary further tariff tinkering. The neopls have expressed themselves so decidedly that i. would require great deal of hardihood to push matters further. It was difficult enough to pass the tariff bill at the last session. This republican victory will stiffen the back bone of every democrat who wavered between consulting the interests of his constituents and submitting to the Chicago platform.
 It is likely that business revival will follow this election. The recent agita- Sion in favor of free trade and the pres ent tariff have depressed business and put wages and profits on lower plane The threats of the free-trAders and the prospect of further tariff reductions this winter tended to deter new undertak' ings. Now that the country has declar- ed itself so unmistakably against demo cracy and all its works, confidence will revive with the prospect of no more tariff tinkering and an early return to conservative government under repub- lIcsn auspices.

STEPS ON RAILWAY CARS.
An Authority Thinks They Are Useless
 and Should Be Abolished.

When the first primitive railway was built in this country, says the Railway Age, somebody thought it would be cheaper and handler to attach steps so that passengers could get on or off whenever the train might accommodate ingly stop, without the trouble of drawing up to platform, and the fash ion once started has been followed un- til now there are in the United States not far from thirty-five thousand cars, passenger, baggage, mail and express, which are dragging around four times as many-One hundred and forty thousand-Sets of steps that are costly to build and maintain, are a constant source of danger, discomfort and delay, and serve no purpose that could not much better be accomplished by hay ing station platforms at a level with the platforms of the ears. The elevated railways in New York first demon strated tine needlessness of steps for cars on the American plan of having end doors, as had from the first been demonstrated on all European railways where the doors open at the side. The Illinois Central Railway company had the enterprise to extend the principle of no steps to surface roads by build ing special cars and high station platforms for its worlds fair train service, with the result of han ding great numbers of passengers with extraordinary celerity and safety, and the same progressive management is now preparing to abolish the use of car steps in itseXtensive suburban tra n service by elevating its station plat forms It has had the principle in highly successful operation for nearly q year on it's express suburban service, ID which are used ordinary day coach, 5 tie steps having been removed and he platforms widened' out, and if it were building new cars for that service it would build them without steps. For remote stations on it's local service where it is not yet ready to provide new station platforms it adopts the simple device of having trap doors over the steps, which can be thrown back where the steps are to be used-an ex- pedient that would facilitate the grad ual adoption of the high station plat form principle on all roads, allowing them to apply it at first only at the principal stations.

To o"Suffer and be Stroue--

In other words, to exhibit fortitude when enduring bodily pain is, of conrse, praiseworthy, but sufferers from rheu- matism would undoubtedly forego the praise which the exercise Of thls Spar tan virtue calls forth, to obtain prompt and easy relief. 1t is at their very threshold in the shape of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which arrests this formidable disease at the outset, and acts as an efficient anodyne upon the afflicted nervous system. Take time by the forelock If you feel rheumatic twinges, and give them quIetude at once. Rheumatism is, reader, you may perhaps not be aware, liable to attack the heart. Many man and woman with heart thus attacked has promptly ''shuffied off this mortal coil" The Bit ter IS alro an excellent remedy foI kid ney trouble, malaria. constipation, de- bility, neuralgia. sieeplessness and dys- pepsia.

THE REPUBLICAN VICTORIES.

Exultanf is very mild word to ex- press the state of mind in which repub- licans have been ever since the full results of the elections became knowD. And the rejoicing js not confirmed to repu blIcsns, either. Business men of sll over the country who have always been democrats, have not hesitated to publicly say that they were glad to see the democratic party So sgnally defeat ed. because they rad become satisfied that in no other way could the prosper lty af the country, which realization sf what democratis control of the paSio nal government meant had WIther- ed as quickly as s killing frost would the flowers of midsummer, be restored. And there is reason for the belief that MT. Cleveland also shares in the prevail ing Joy. He has never withdrawn sNe statement made over his own signature, that the democracy was downcast under the assertion that their party had failed in ability to manage the government.
 Chairman Babcock, of the republican congressional campaign committee in Washington, is the hero of the hour. Other republicans had occasional doubts of the ability Of the party to win enough districts to overcome the enormous democratic majority in the present house, but he had never from the day he assumed the craftsmanship of the committee had doubt of victory, and he today has the proud satisfaction, which few men in his position have enjoyed, not only of seeing every claim he made substantiated by votes, but of seeing bis claims exceeded in every direction. He is receiving praises from all quarters, for the intelligent work he has done. 4 barrel would not hold the congratulations which have gone to hin; by mail and by wire from the uromirent republicans of the country.
 He gives the credit for the erea, victory to the people, and agrees with

A Miners Luck.

The miners of New Mexico tell a queer story which illustrated forclbly the miners belief in his luck A miner named John Quincy Adams was pros pecting somewhere in the mountains While wearily trudging along one hot day through gulch where the sun had good back, he suddenly smelled smoke. The phenomenon struck him as odd. and he glanced quickly in every di. rectlon to ascertain the origin of the smoke, but seeing nothing resumed bis journey.
 A moment later the smell returned. stronger than ever, and, the breeze just then blowing in the direction in which he was walking, light wreath of vspor curied about his ears and gave him t. understand that his hsversack was on fire. Like all miners, he carried 2 large lens for the purpose of examining the specimens and the sand in ais pan, and the truth flashed. ~pon him. For want of room he had hung the glass on the outaI~e, and the rays of the sun Lad been concentrated on his haversack. which was thus set op fire. AS among it's contents were 12 or 15 pounds of powder, he lost no time in dropping the dangerous burden and getting as far away ss possible before 1t exploded.
 The haversack fell between two huge stones and cuddled down out of sight. Adams soon reached a safa distance and disconsolataiy watched the smoke aris- ing fron his sole worldly possession Suddenly there was deafening report. The ground trembled, and Adams dodged behind huge stone to escsps the fragments of flying rock. Rising he went to the spot to gather up what he could find, when his eyes almost started out of his head at seeing the quartz that had been blown up fairly glittering with gold. His powdel bad done better on its own account than it had ever done on his, and had htera .ly

l that the opponents Of woman suurage claimed would characterize their polit- ical work. They were not mere echoes of the opinions of masculine relatives and friends. As voters they demonstrat- ed many other qualities with which they were not always credited by men who grudge them the ballot. They proved their ability to organize, to rise above small piques and personal grievances, and work together for the best interests of their state. As a whole their votes were cast from conscientious conviction, the issue between good government and snarchistic misrule being distinctly made.
 "Assuredly the old stock argument that wumaphood must be contaminated or even degraded by personal contact with the ballot box is exploded by Tues days expsrience. Never in Colorados history was there more bitter political contest. Never was there more reason to expect crawling and riot. But Den- yer records show no more quiet and or derly election than the one just past. The majority of Americans stand on too high & level of enlightment and civlliza- tion to offer insult or even annoyance to women who are quietly performing what they believe to be duty, even though the path to that duty leads directly to the polls.
 "Women attending theaters on first nights are more accommodated by jost- ling and crowding than they were at the polls last Tuesday, and women at bar gain sale assuredly suffer more annoy ance from close contact with undesira- 6le and impatient neighbors than at any time while casting votes. Election day surely afforded a much needed object lesson to opponents of equal suffrage. Degradation from voting,' insult at the polls,' loss of womanly delicscy and re- fnement,' have been the arms of wind mill at which the Don Quiiete of con- servatism has been tllting until they have become as real es the reptilian de- mons of a man with deiIrium tremens. Both delusions disappear with the first gleam of returning common sense."

It is related of former Tucson justice that man while drunk had threatened a woman with knife. A bystander had interfered with club, and knocked the would-be assailant senseless. He then loaded the man of the knife in a grocer wagon and took him direct to the justice of the peace in question. The justice came out to the wagon and asked the man who brought it there as to the circumstances. No other trial took place.
 That's all right" be said. Take him over to jail and tell them to give him seven days I'll send over the com mitment later.
 The same justice once saw a woman prisoner entering his portals of justice. Well" he said, "what are you doing herer

THE WOMEN OF CoI.oRADo.

The Denver Republican has the fol- lowing to say on the experience of equal euffrage in that state:
 8 "The advocates of women suffrage need desire no better basis from which to deduce arguments for their cause than the recent election. That women won the victory for Colorado no just man will deny. That hundreds of men usually too indifferent or indolent to express themselves in a political cam psign were shamed into interest and ac- tion by the unfisgging energy of weman is unquestionable.
 'The women of the state proved that they could safely be trusted with the ballot. They proved, too, their inde- pendence of thought and action, their freedom from the parrot-like qualities
