ucAv,T RE ENFORCEDn

All over the state complaints are being
made about violations of the fish law.
Fish are being taken in every conceiv-
able way and no regard is paid to the
size; in fact the bigger the better 1t
begins to look already as though the en-
forcement of the fish law was impossi-
BILE. public sentiment" Is clearly
against it-among the fishermen. Gov
ernor Morrill, has not been heard from
on the subject yet, but he can scarcely
fail to take this view of the subject. The
necessity of ascertaining the status OF
public sentiment before the enactment of
any additional legislation is becoming
more apparent every day. Such course
would save our overworked and under
paid Legislators much worry and the tax
payers much money.
It was a serious oversight on the part
of the late legislature that while it was
in the business of creating new offices it
did not provide for an official Enquirer
Into Public Sentiment" whose duty it
would be to find out whether or not there
was anybody who had objections to the
passage and enforcement of any pro-
posed law. An adverse report from this
official should be final and the matter
should be dropped How is the COVER
nor and how is the legislature to know
otherwise that there are objections to a
law until it is too late? 1t appears that
too much confidence has hitherto been
placed in majorities. The good old days
when majorities ruled have apparently
gone by.

AT Alva, Kansas, last week, a man was
tried in Justices court for being drunk.
A jury was empanelled. and after hear
Ing the evidence brought in a verdict of
acquittal for the defendant, but suppli-
mented it by saying that 1--WE find that
the justice of the peace has been drunk
during the progress of this trial and he
must pay the costs of this case" This
justice of the peace is not quite as bad as
the justice of the peace at Leavenworth
who owns or did own the "Star of the
West" the biggest saloon in Leaven-
worth. At no place except Leavenworth
could such state of affairs exist-a man
who was engaged in violating the states

from the bench. Leavenworth is so OBJ
fuse that she can't even see the humor of
it. Likewise Governor Morrill,.

LAWRENCE Journal; For long time
the rum holes of the state, Atchison,
Leavenworth and Wichita, have been
boasting that their saloon license was so
large that it relieved the citizens of ex
cessive tax burdens That this was all a
lie is shown by the fact that Atchison is
so deeply in debt that the city council
has been compelled to levy a very heavy
occupation tax, covering every branch of
business in the city, in order to get
enough money to pay running expenses.

CIVIL SERVICE GROWING.
There Are Now 100000 Regularly EN-
pIOyed Under the System.


pIOyed Undsr the System.
WASHINGTON, June 18-The forth
coming annual report of the United
States civil service commission will show
that the whole number of persons reg
ularly employed in the civil service of
this countrv.is about 100000. Of these
approximately one-fourth are IN the
classified service subject to competitive
examinations under the civil service
rules
A comparative statement shows that at
the end of President Arthur's admins
tration the approximate number of posi-
tions classified was 1888; at the end of
President Cleveland's first term there
were 1880, and at the end of President
Harrison's administration there were
42.998 places classified.
Investigations made at the request of
the commission shows that the salaries
of government clerks in the principal
countries are lower than those paid by
this government, but the pay of higher
officials is generally more than that here.
The tenure of Office is permanent, or
during good behavior, and after the en-
ploye has become incapacitated by rea-
son of age, length of service, or physical
infirmity, he is retired with a pension,
the amount which varies in proportion to
the length of service, from one-sixth to
four fifths of actual salary.
The commission lately called the at
tention of the postoff1ce department to
the condition of many Indiana post
offices, which it regards on the whole
worse than those of any other state. ex-
cept possibly Mississippi
| The commission holds that where a
postmaster makes sweeping removals of
! employees of one party and fills the va
cancies by the appointment of per-
sons of the opposite party, there
is a presumption that he is con-
trolled in the matter by political
considerations, and is to be 80 judged
unless he shows to the contrary, the bur-
den of proof resting upon him.
Many cases have come to the notice of
the commission whore employees of one
political party were freely dismissed for
offenses which perhaps justified the ac-
ton, but which passed unnoticed when
committed by employees of the opposite
party.

CHILDREN's COLUMN.
The Misunderstood Elephant.

The affection and sensibility of tho ele-
plant are well known. In the memoirs
Of tho actor, Charles Young, Is an aneo-
dote which illustrates these characteristics
Chung, a big elephant, just arrived FROM
India, had been bought by an English
manager to exhibit In children's Ranto-I
mine. At the first rehearsal, when Chung
reached bridge over cascade which he
was expected to cross, he refused to step
upon it, distrusting its solidity%nn not
without reason. In vain tho angry keeper
punished him by pricking him behind the
ear with an iron goad. With lowered eyes
and pendent oars the enormous animal
stood In pool OF blood motionless as a
wall.
The captain Of the vessel which had,
brought Chung over came in during the,
contest between the man and the elephant
He had become fond Of the beast and often
fed it with daint.es. Tho animal, as sooni
as it recognized Its friend, approached him
with supplicating air, gently took his
band In its trunk and placed u in the
bleeding wound, then held the hand up to
the captains eyes. The gesture said as
clearly as words, See how tley have made
me suffer" Poor Chung appeared so I'M
happy that every one was touched, even
5le cruel keeper. To win pardon th5 mar
ran ont and brought some apples, which
no offered to the elephant, but Chung dis \
dainfully threw them away The captain,

TIE BABY.

Every mother should make the infexi-
bic rule In her household that no risks
may be run with her baby. Experiment
upon yourself If you will, but you have
no right TO submit your innocent child to
the danger Of experiments. Do not try
this and that which every neighbor recon-
mends. Have family physician in whom
you have every confidence and follow his
Instructions to the n1inutest details You
owe this TO him and to your child In the
nineteenth century science has made won
derful advances, and In civilized America
the 'syarb woman" has no place today. 1t
may be true that some 'aunty' in your
neighborhood knows more ABOUT babies
than do some physicians, but the moral is
not to listen with implicit faith TO the
'annty," but to employ doctor who does
understand his profession. -Womankind

is perfectly satisfied with life as it is; she

housekeeping being looked after by the
servants; she has plenty of dancing, firta-
