out of the realm of politics. This en- tire number are now in office and Democrats, having passed the civil ser vice examination. This legacy of 42,- 900 Democratic officials which Cleve- land will bequeath to President Me Kinley will make many of our Re publican brethren howl, especially those who were laying for the clerical pie.-Tucson Star.
 It would be a tremendous howl that could drown the sound of the Demo- cratic lament over this same matter. The average Democrat has no use for civil service reform. The only regret table thing in connection with Cleve- lands action is that thousands of the Democrats now working under the civil service rules are worthless scrubs The law does not provide for keeping such people in office, and many of then undoubtedly will walk the plank, as they should be made to do, when z business administration takes hold al Washington.

By the death of Alexander Salvini an actor of more than ordinary ability has been lost to the American stage. It is perhaps hardly accurate to speak of him as having promise; in his case fulfillment had really come. He ap- peared first in the classic drama-in Shakespeare and in the older English comedies and in plays by men like Sheridan Knowles He was an effect i've leading man for several stars" /" but not a remarkable one. He found his true place eventually in the TO- mantle drama. He was not a genius like his father, nor was there any in dication of genius in his work. But he had the artistic temperament, he had intelligence, zeal and true mimetic skill, and his Representations of the heroes of Dumas and the rest were vivacious, picturesque and full of gen. uine feeling. Had he lived he would have acquired riper methods and won greater fame.

TO REVOLUTIONIZE FARMING.

The c. B. & 0. Railroad company is attempting a singular experiment on it's lines. The directors, convinced that the methods of farming employed in the west can be improved, have au thorized the management to lay out and operate farms to be conducted on the best methods which agricultural science approves. Five stations have been selected, and at each one forty acres will be placed under cultivation One is in Kansas and the others are in Nebraska. The principle on which the farms are to be made more pro- ductive than they would be under or dinary conditions is that of better soil culture. The ground is to be plowed more deeply than usual, it is to be gone over after rain, the idea being to break up the capillary tubes, which allow the
 moisture to ascend to the surface of the earth in the shortest possible time in other circumstances; and it is to be worked by those farmers only who un- derstand perfectly the quality of the soil and it's capacity for special produc- tion. It is said that farmers who have tried this system have harvested five
 more bushels of grain to the acre on
 an average. Hopes are entertained 1 that the experiments will contribute
 to revolutionize farming in many quar-
 ters.

PROTECTION FOR SILVER.

The proposition is now seriously en- tertained in Washington to adjust the new tariff bill on lines that will afford adequate protection to American sil- yer. Readers of the Republican will be interested in the following article on the subject from the New York Mail and Express: "The proposition involves no departure from Republi- can purpose and policy. It is entirely in accord with the spiritAand principle of our protective system, and it's adop- tion would be a convincing token of the liberal and consistent attitude which Republican statesmen have all ways taken in guarding the products of American mines against unrestrict- ed competition from abroad.
 Silver is an American product as distinctively as iron, copper or lead. All are commodities of commerce and one is just as much entitled to protec- tion as any of the others. Yet this country imports all the way from 12,- O0O,0O0 to 25,00O,OOO ounces of foreign silver every year in spite of the fact that our silver mines are the richest in the world, and would, if developed under the encouragement of an ade- quate tariff, yield enough metal for every need. "A tariff that would ren- der importations unproftable, and SC adjusted as to meet the fluctuations in the bullion value of the metal in the
 worlds markets, would be a measure of practical worth to the mining inter- ests of this country, and it would give direct and business like reply to the question so frequently heard since the late election-'what do the Republi. cans propose to do for silver?'
 Twenty-Five nations of the eartt
 levy duty on silver for the protection
 of their own producers Is there any
 reason why this country, with the pro-
 tective idea expanded to it's larges
 scope, should not institute a similar
 policy for the same purpose?"
Arizona republican., 1896-12-23

An exchange tells of millionaire who recently died and whose relatives are now fighting over his estate, add ing: "To be without a million dollars has it's compensation one is about through with life" We admit that we do not quite catch the philos- ophy of this statement. What mat ters it to a man who has a million dol lars whether or not his relatives fight over it after he is dead? The average man would be willing to assume the risk of such a fortune for the sake of having a million dollars while he lived After a man is through with life the subsequent proceedings on earth interest him no more. If man of millions is at all sensitive and fearful lest his wealth will cause dissension after he has gone the only plan to pur- sue is to distribute his money before he leaves.
