CROSSED THE DEAD LINE.
A Tennessee Senator's Adventure In
u Moons hine District

Anunusral story OF outlawry comes from
the Red Sulphur Springs district of Har-
din county, says a Nashville dispatch to
the Courier-Journal. This is n notorious
resort for moonshiners, and they have made
q creek there the dead line for revenue Of
Ulcers. Some two weeks ago a raiding
party slipped into the district a nd destroyed
"a still, capturing three men, including one
named Davis, wanted at Memphis for
numbering a deputy marshal aud wound
ing United States Marshal Brown.
few days ago state Senator Sims of
Lawrence county, and n man named j. h.
Parker went to Hardin county ON legal
business. They unwittingly entered the
Red Sulphur district, and were near where
the still was destroyed, when they were
suddenly confronted by six men, armed
with guns, who, taking them prisoners,
marched them to a canesrake, where they
began preparations to hang them.
Senator Sims pleaded with them that
they were not revenue officers. The men
finally consented TO delay the execution 4
few hours TO give Sims an opportunity 10
establish his identity. He gave one of the
men $40 TO ride TO town and bring mer-
chant whom he knew. After five hours the
man came and identified Sims.
The outlaws then took the two men to
the Tennessee River. and. placing them on
a barge started them across ii, telling
them that If they ever came back they would
hang them without any questions. and any
revenue men invading the district would
meet the same fate.

the ground to be covered in getting the mail
matter to its proper destination.
Application has already been made by
the residents of Mount Pleasant for the in
auguration of the street railway mail
service, and 1t is understood that Post
master willett Is in favor OF granting the
request. There should be no need, how
ever, for special application by the resi-
dents OF any particular locality. Just as
the Postoffice Department is kept advised
by postmasters and other officials of the
needs OF the service and when and where
it ought to be expanded, so in the cities
the postmasters should be the Judges of
the ACCESSIBILITY of introducing street
railway distribution. The Inauguration OF
the system should depend solely upon the
necessities of the case, and of these the
postmaster can inform himself without any
solicitation or petition from the residents
of any particular section.
Mount Pleasant, Brookland, Takoma
Park, Tenleytown and other Washington
suburbs are proper candidates for this
street railway mail service, and can get it
none too soon.

STREET RAILWAY NAILS.

The street railway mail service has passed
the experimental stage, according to Second
Assistant Postmaster General Nelson, who
states in his report that it has proved its
usefulness and economy and ought to be
extended and perfected as rapidly as pos
sible. He recommends an appropriation of
100000 for the service, authority for
the Postmaster General to adjust the COM
pensation OF the lines, the construction OF
street railway mail cars, and q plan for
operating them.
IL the innovation has been attended with
such excellent result in other large cities,
there is no reason why 1t would not work
equally as well in Washington, whose rapidly
increasing and expanding suburbs demand
something more expeditions and frequent
than that which can be supplied In wagons
or On bicycles. There is all the more reason
for Introducing 1t here because of the large
area tributary 10 the main postoffice, and

RESULTS OF THE ELECTIONS

In n general way the result of yesterdays
elections indicates that the Republicans
not only have held their own, but in several
instances have made important gains.
THE only notable exception to this is
New York city, where Tammany has re-
gained its control. Its victory is in the
nature OF protest by the voters of the
great city against excuses, even in reform
movements.
The other and even greater and more sur
prising revolution was the Democratic rout
in Maryland, with its smashing of the
German ring. 1t is the most crushing de-
feat ever sustained by this calculating
politician, and will go far to end his
supremacy in the party, both in his State
and in the general councils. 1t probably
does not indicate that Maryland has be-
come genuinely Republican State, but
rather that a large contingent of Demo-
Gratis have become disguised with ring
methods.

THE CLASSIFIED SERVICE.

The solicitude of the Civil Service Com
mission 10 still further expand the CLASH
fled service has struck a responsive chord
in the breast of Secretary Hoke Smith,
who is most anxious to apply its rule 10
the General Land Office and the Bureau
of Indian Affairs. In fact, the disposition
not only in the Department of the Interior.
but in the other executive departments,
seems TO be in favor OF the widest posi-
BILE scope for the classification, SO that
finally nearly all appointments may be
determined under and by its provisions
and limitations.
Few reforms have been instituted the
Inauguration OF which met with such vio-
lent opposition as did the reform of the
civil service. II was to be expected that
the politicians would object To it, for if
II attained full control their trade and
traffic in offices would be q thing OF the
past, and ante-election promises OF this
ppstmastership or that clerkship would
be at a very large discount. But even
those to whose benefit its operation would
finally work opposed ii and denounced
il as unrepublican and tending to create
a bureaucratic form OF government.
Now all is changed. People have come
10 realize that what goes by the name of
civil service reform is really the fairest
and most democratic of all metho DIS OF
appointment to office, for IL gives fair
field and no favor. A mans intelligence
is his best and most powcrful influence
in securing an appointment, and his tenure
of office is dependent upon no mans
favor, bat upon his own integrity. dill
gencc and good conduct generally. Under
monarchical governments the man having
the biggest pull stands the best showing
for an appointment, but under repub-
lican form of government such favoritisnl
is an anomaly.

PITY THE sULTAN's SORROWS.

PITY THE SULTAN'S SORROWS.
Perhaps no other event could convey so
vivid an impression OF the critical condi-
ton OF affairs in Turkey as the sudden
departure of the Turkish ambassador from
Berlin, because he failed to obtain from
Prince Hohenlvhe the desired assurance
OF an effort to lessen Great Britain pressure
upon the Porte in respect to the situation
OF the Armenians. Tewfik Pasha left, say
ing he would not return for q long time.
He had represented to the chancellor the
Imminent danger Of a domestic revolution
IN the event his requests were not acceded
to, and having met with no cncourag cement
he fastened to Constantinople to take
counsel with his imperial master.
1t is altogether probable that TewfIk
Pashas apprehensions are not exagger-
ated. Religious and political fanaticism
among the Muslems the world over has
been extremely acute for some time, and
it is accentuated in Turkey, and especially
in Constantinvplc by the Armenian question.
The Mussulman hates the native Christian as
heartily as his satanic ma jesty is currently
believed to detest holy water, and vigorous
measures on the part of the government,
in obedience To force maieure," to put a
stop To the massacres, pillaging and other
diversions, with accounts of which the
world has been surfeited of late, would no
doubt turn the fury Of the fanatics, stirred
up by the priesthood, against the reisning
monarch who has none too strong a hold
upon his peoples regard as it stands.
What with internal dissensions and ex-
ternal complications, the Sublime Porte is
in very shaky condition, and a collapse at
any moment would surprise no one.

Thus Queen Victoria, who is the most I'M
compromising OF all mOnarchs in modern
times in her intolerance toward Divorces
is herself the daughteT-in-law of princess
who was divorced by her husband under
singuiary sensational circumstances.
The mother of the prince conscrt was
lovely woman--it was from her that he IN
herite5i his good iooks-and was the last
descendant of the Dukes OF Gotha, whose
dominions may be said to have constituted
her marriage portion, since they were in
CorporateI with those of Saxe-Coburg at
the time OF her union to the duke of that
petty sovereignty.
\ drunkard and a proil!gGte OF the
coarsest character, the duke treated his
young and beautiful life with disgrace
ful brutality; so much so, indeed, That the
Imperial Diet felt constrained to interfere
in her behalf while the good people OF
Coburg show ed their sympathy with their
blond and blne-eyed duchess by smashing
every window OF her husbands palace
and by almost lynching his Polish favoTite,
Count Schimbowski.
At length the duchess could no longer
bear her treatment and eioped from Coburg
with a young cavalry lieutenant named
Baron Won Hanstein. The duke at once
sued for a divorce, which was granted,
and the young mother as never permitted
TO see her children again unjii just before
the Prince Cpnsorts marriage, they being
brought up altogether by their grand
mother. 1T

The reigning house OF Prussia has no
less than three divorces to its credit. Prin-
cess Marianne, the mother of Prince AL
bert, now Regent of the Duchy of Bruins
wick, was divorced from her husband. and
it was hard TO say on which side the fault
lay. the Tribunal observing a discreet ST.
lence upon the subject, for If Prince AL
bert, the elder. was drunken Ind dissi
pated as his brother Charles, his conduct
presenting a striking contrast to that of
his elder two brothers. King Frederick
William ". and the late Emperor wIfSnl.
yet it must be confessed that the Princess
Marianne was eccentric almost to the
verge of insanity. which was not altogether
astonishing when it is borne in mind that
she was n sister of the late King of the
Netherlands, and that her mother was the
crazy daughter OF the mailman, Car Paul
of Russia.
Princess Marianne died only few years
ago at the Hague bequeathing her vast
fortune to her son. Her husband mean while.
had contracted second and morgana:ic
marriage, his children by that union bear
ing the title of Counts and Countesses Won
Hohenau.
