TOO MUCH PROSPERITY.
The DEVILS Idea Of What Troubled the
Country Editor.

Whatever may be the truth or
the falsity Of the stories that SIC
told of the scarcity of the funds in a
country editors pocket or the scar
city Of food in his stomach, the sto
ries are always told, and, says "Har.
per's Magazine" neither the pro
gress of education or the growth aud
development of the press seems to
have any effect upon the crop. One
Of the latest comes from Kentucky,
where the mountain editor, at least,
rarely develops into a Crnsus or an
Apicus, and this one is concerning a
mountain editor A subscriber had
remembered him very kindly, and a
day or two later a visitor called at
his office.
Can / see the edltor?" he in
quired of the grimy little "de,il''
roosting on high stool
mo. sir" replied the youth on the
stool. He's sick. "
Whats the matter with him2"
Dun no said the boy. "One OF
our subscribers give him a bag oil
flour and a bushel of pertaters

Doom of the spoils system.

"That the spoils system is doomed
no one can doubt who notes the
steady progress of civil service re.
form, says a writer in this months
Century. He shows the remarkable
strides the merit system has made
in recent years and notes the fact
that one fourth of the 100000 per
sons regularly employed in the Gov
eminent service are now subject to
competitive examinations, and are
thus removed from the control of pol
iticians About $4,000 of the $780,
600 not in the classified service can
be put under civil service rules by
order of the President without fur
Their legislation The Century writer
believes that it will be only short
time before the employees of all the
departments will be selected on the
basis of merit.
THAT the people of the country"
says The Century, "would support
overwhelmingly this final elimination
of the spoils system from our poll
ties cannot be questioned. No ad-
vance of civil service reform, howev-
err radical and ar-reaching it may
have been in it's effects, has ever call
ed forth a word of popular disappro-
val, On the contrary, every advance
has been commended by all, except
those who get their living out of pol
itics. There never was a time when
the protests of the politicians against
the reform commanded so little sym
pathy as they do at present.
This condition is due to the fact
that the people have realized that
there can be no thorough and lasting
reform in National, State and City
politics until the spoils system has
been destroyed. The way to get
mercenary, dishol est and incompe-
tent men out of politics is to take
the spoils away from them. THE
passing from politics of the most un-
fit men," continues The Century,
"would make room for the entrance
of men of higher type. If official
tenure were permanent, if merit
alone determined the selection for
and retention in office, men of abil.
ity and character would seek official
life, as they seek professional and
other occupations, and we should not
have any difficulty in getting useful
public servants"

Please Dent Accuse Us of Dishonesty,

The Keyser Echo so aptly express
es in the following what we had of
ten intended to say on the subject
of collecting subscriptions that we
reproduce it in full The Echo's ex-
perienee seems to be almost identi
cal with ours:
We are obliged to send out bills
to our subscribers who ale in ar
rears. II is very difficult, indeed
i'm possible, for us to get all that be
longs to US, even then. Some people
who profess to be good men take the
paper for years and then refuse to
pay for it. Some people promise to
pay and then neglect to do SO. Some
people who are two or more years in
arrears, send us the money with an
intimation that we have not given
them due credit for money that
they have paid, and very curtly and
sometimes impudently tell US to
stop the paper. Now we do not say
that we never make any mistakes in
keeping our newspaper accounts
We have hundreds of them. 1t
would be q wonder if we did not
sometimes get one wrong. But we
never hesitate a moment, even when
we have no evidence except the as
sertion of the subscriber We will
gladly correct any mistake, and we
will do it just as quickly aud just as
gladly if we are pleasantly informed
of it as If you insult US by intima-
ting that we are trying to cheat you
If You let your Indebtedness to us
run over one years subscription you
are really depriving us Of six cents
per year on every dollar of that in
debtedness, for we are paying inter-
est at that rate upon money and we
are losing just that amount as long
as you owe us. We have to pay for
work, paper, rent, taxes and insur
anee right along, and we cannot pay
our bills unless those who owe us
will pay. We do not think a man
who owes even one years subscrip-
tion ought-to DE angry if we send
him a reminder in the way of
statement. We are sorry to saw,
however, that some men do seem to
get very angry. Our subscribers will
find the date up to which they have
paid upon their papers When you
have paid fproper credit is not Civ
en- send us postal card at once that
we may make it right. Business men
are so often receiving bills that they
are never surprised by them nor do
they feel it an insult even when they
are received on a postal card. Busi-
ness men do not consider it an in
jury to DE asked to settle frequently
and il saves a deal of trouble for
them to do So Long, tedious litiga-
tion often comes from the failure of
men to attend to this, the most i'm
portant of any business.

THE LAND OF SUNSHINE.
A Unique Country where the Skies are
almost Never ClOuded, while the
air is Cool and Bracing,
like Perpetual Spring.

AS an anomalous southern resort,
by reason of the fact that there one
may escape summer heat no less than
winter cold, New Mexico is rapidly be-
coming famous. Averaging through
out the entire territory 5000 feet in
altitude above sea-leyel, and charac-
terized by dry air which, unlike a
humid atmosphere, is incapable of
communicating heat, the temperature
in midsummer remains at delight
fully comfortable degree through the
day, and at night becomes invariably
brisk and bracing, The sunshine is
almost constant, yet the most violent
out-of-door exertion may be undertake
en- without fear of distressful conse-
quences. Sunstroke or prostration
are absolutely unknown there. 1t is
an ideal land for summer outing.
Its climate is prescribed by reputable
physicians as specific for pulmonary
complaints, and the medicinal Hot
Springs at Las Vegas are noted for
their curative virtues. The most
sumptuous hotel in the west, the
Montezuma, is located at these springs.

TRIED TO DROWN HERSELF.
A Wealthy Pittsburg Young Lady At
tempts Suicide at Rice's Landing.

Waynesburg Republican.
Considerable excitement was
caused at Rice's Landing last Satur-
day morning by the attempt OF a
young lady to con. NIT suicide. The
young lady was Miss Louise Ander-
son, of Pittsburg. She has been af-
tlcted with melanaholia for some
time and had been in Pittsburg
hospital Her aunt, Mrs. Joseph A.
Bell. of Jefferson, had visited her
and physicians in attendance
thought it might improve the young
woman's condition if she were taken
out Of the city upon a visit. She
and her aunt came up On Saturday
mornings boat to Rice's Landing.
Mrs. Bell suspected that her neice
might attempt to end her life and
kept a close watch upon her during
the entire trip, not sleeping at night
lest the young woman should slip
away unnoticed She guarded her
carefully as they walked up the gang
plank Off. the boat. Miss Anderson
showing a disposition to fall behind
her aunt and separate from her.
Upon leaving the dock they walk
ed up to the livery stable where they
were to hire conveyance to drive to
Jefferson. Mrs Bell was given a
seat and sat down, expecting her
niece to do the same, but the latter
started to walk back toward the riv-
err Her aunt called to her to return
but she merely laughed and then
started to run toward the side of a
| high platform which extended to
the edge of the river, but was at
least twenty feet above it. She threw
herself off and at the same instant
her aunt reached the spot and
caught her by the dress. Mrs. Bell
bravely held to the young woman s
dress and called for Charley Love to
come to her assistance. Before he
could reach her however the weight
proved too heavy for but one hand
and her grasp loosened. Her niece
fell upon the bank of the river, near
the waters edge Fortunately there
was straw aud rubbish enough upon
the ground to save her from serious
injury, though she was stunned by
the fall.
Miss Anderson is about twenty
five years of age, is educated and re-
fined and is the sole heir to a large
estate, amounting, it is said, to 800
000 She is highly esteemed, and
her friends deeply regret her present
sad mental condition, which caused
her to attempt the rash act. After
being taken to the hotel ohe protest
ed that her friends ought to have al
lowed her to die. Those who assist
ed in her rescue deserve credit fol
their timely action and bravery.

The Mount Lebanon Shakers have
recently perfected ah ingenious cure
for dyspepsia. Their Digestive Cordial
consists of food already digested and
a digester of foods happily combined.
The importance of this invention
well be appreciated when we realize
what proportion of the community
are victims of some form of stomach
troubles. Thousands of pale, thin
people have little inclination to eat,
what they do eat causes them pain
and distress.
This Digestive Cordial of the Shall-
ers corrects any stomach arrangement
at once. 1t makes thin people plump.
Every one will be greatly interested
to read the little book which has been
placed in the hands Of druggists for
free distribution.

Congressman B. B. Dovener, of
Wheeling, registered at the Monon
gahela House recently. He was on
his way home from Washington. The
following is his interview by Pitts
burg reporter:
What are the prospects of your
neighbor, Postmaster General Will
son, being appointed to the supreme
bench to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of Judge Jackson?
II had a long talk with Wilson
yesterday, yet l know absolutely
nothing of the matter. He was get
ting ready to deliver an address in
behalf of the letter carriers in Phila-
delphia, and he told me more of that
than anything else, y
"How is Mr.. Wilson's health?"
He is regaining it fast. He told
me yesterday he was feeling very
well. He looks well, too, and he is
considerably heavier than he was
when his tariff bill passed Congress. "
why didn't Cleveland send Will
son to Mexico, instead of Ransom,
he having gone there during the tar
if bill fight to recuperate his health?'
Il don't know, | am sure. But il
would have been nice thing fol-
Wilson, and his friends in our end
of the State would have been de-
lighted to see it. Wilson has worked
hard in Congress, but he has not
been getting rich. For that reason
the Mexican Mission would have
been desirable place for him. He
would be getting more than twice
the salary he is getting now"
West Virginia; presumably, il
feeling the effects of the industrial
revival?"
VERY much so; everything is OF
the upward course, and we are very
hopeful in our section of the State
of a good winter"

Duties ofCongressmen

A Massachusetts, member of Con-
gress in entire seriousness recounts
his own idea of the duties of one in
his position as follows: THE office
of a member of Congress is prinei
pally a great business office, looking
after river and harbor improvements
for his district, public buildings,
postoffice accommodations, railway
mail service, lighthouse and life
saving services, and to see that
friendly and not hostile tariff legis-
lation is enacted, to say nothing
about the soldiers and their widows
entitled to pensions, the distribution
Of seeds and public documents to
which the district is entitled. :"
Daniel Webster and Charles Summer
did not exactly pattern their efforts
to achieve usefulness and attain
fame in this way, but the reply will
probably be made that we are not
living in Webster and Summer times.
