DAVIS LOOKS FOR GOOD TIMES.
west Virginia's Former Senator Says Bet

west Yirginia's Former Senator Says Bet
ter Times Are Ahead.
Mail and Express, Republican.
EX-UniJed States Senator Henry G..
Davis. OF West Virginia is one OF the
few Democrats in national politics who
combine business sense with their par
lsau policies. lie has been in the city
the past few days, during which he
has caught a glimpse of the industrial
prosperity that disappeared from sight
when his party went into power three
years ago. Il think We are going to
nave better times, said he to a Mail
and Express reporter to-day, but in
some instances there is u desire to
jack things up too quickly. The ulti-
mate result Of the bond sales will be
good. but matters have not taken a
sufficiently definite turn yet for US to
look for TainbOws or build air castles.
You viii notice, though, that railroad
earnings are lettering. and the iron
trade. which is the index to all, is
GOurishing, prices increasing and the
demand good. So we may assume that
the industrial future is to be bright. g"
Are you Democrats going to nomi-
nate Cleveland?'
Cleveland is as much an impossi-
bility in the Chicago convention as
are YOU" replied Senator Davis. The
people settled the third term question
fourteen years ago, when Grant was d
candidate. [ doubt whether Cleve-
land wants it. anyhow. As for other
Democratic candidates, nothing has
developed. Ohio viii want eX-Gov-
ernOr Campbell Then we have Patti
son. Stevenson. Morrison, Whitney.
Matthews and others. I am sure I do
not know how these various aspirantS.
if they are aspirants, stand. German
also is talked of. but he won't have it.
German is not thoroughly understood
by the people. In legislation affect
ing national interests I regard him as
likely to be nearest right more times
than most of his colleagues. He has
done some great work in the SEN
ate.
do you expect Democratic vic
tory"
No one knows what to expect in
politics these days" replied the West
Virginia Senator. People move in
masses for unexpected reasons. The
Mckinley bill was followed by an un-
precedented Democratic tidal wave:
two years thereafter came an unpre-
cedented Republican tidal wave. Now
we face unusual and unknown political
conditions in the West because Of the
money question. There viii be three
substantial political parties in the field
next fall, and no man knows what
strength the third one may develop.
1t Will be ccrsiderable-of that you
may be sure. You Republicans must
reckon with that situation when you
are counting up your prospective cleo
toral votes"

This will be a gross injustice, and one
which the taxpayers Of no district viii
submit. to.
There are only q few Of the many
crudities Of the new law passed by the
late Republican Legislature. 1t is only
q few of them. They might be detail
ed without limit, but it is useless to
occupy space to name them. The peO-
PIE VIII soon learn them. The school
book act Is without doubt the worst
piece Of legislation ever put upon the
statute books of any State.

CAPT. DuGrL SEEKS HIS DAUGHTER.
Belief in Brooklyn That She Has Married
Fitzhugh Lee Carter.

Fitzhugh Lee Carter.
New York, February 21.-In the hope
that he could obtain some trace OF his
pretty 17-year-old daughter, who
eloped from Chicago with Fitzhugh Lee
Carter Thursday last, Captain Dugil, a
wealthy retired merchant Of Evans
vile. Ind, called upon Superintendent
of Police McKelvy, of Brooklyn, to-day.
Carter. who is nephew of General
Fitzhugh Lee. is a wealthy lumber mer
chant of Virginia. 1t was at White
SULPHUR Springs, Va, that he first
met Miss Dugil. The parent had no OBJ
lection to his daughters marrying the
Young man. but he did not wish May to
part from him.
Thursday last Captain Dugil left
Evansville for short trip to Chicago
May went with him. They arrived in
Chicago Friday. The same day the
father went out into lNe city. The
daughter did not accompany him, but
remained in her room at the hotel
where they were stopping. When he
returned she was not in her apartment.
He waited a few minutes and she did
not return. Then he found a note in
NAYS handwriting. 1t was addressed
to him, and in it she said that she had
eloped.
The father in an effort to get some
trace of the girl found letters from
young lady in Brooklyn, which led him
TO believe that she had gone TO that
city. Captain Dugil told Superintend-
ent McKelvey that the daughter said
she was going to be married to Carter
and the register at the st. George show
ed that the couple registered as man
and wife
The superintendent has helped the
father in his search for his daughter,
but as vet neither have been able to
find the least trace of the missing girl.

DRYEST DAY KNOWN IN IOWA.
Victims of Thirst Paid Forty Cents a
Half Pint for Water.

Since the State Fair a number Of
persons have asked United States mar
shals to prosecute two men, who
operated on the fair grounds, for vio-
lating the revenue laws. An investi-
CATION showed that the men gave out
the impression that they were boot
logging" whisky, and when ~7stomers
appeared, told them that they were not
selling whisky, but rain water.
The thirsty ones, thinking it was a
ruse. each bought a bottle and paid 40
cents for a half pint. Later they found
that the men had told the truth, and
that they really had purchased rain
water. containing some slight color
ing matter.
The officers found the two men who
had engaged in the traffic, and they
said they had sold fully barrel of eX-
cellent rain water at 40 cents a half
pint. and never represented it to be
ANYTHING else. They have not been
prosecuted and probably will not be
molested Moines, Ia, special in

Is. & O. IMPROVEMENTS.

Judging from reports, the transforma-
ton of the terminal fea lures of the Balti-
timore and Ohio is to be taken in hand
in good faith by the authorities in control
of the road. Just when the beginning Will
be made and when The work Will be en-
tirely finished will depend. of course, upon
the financial rehabilitation OF the concern.
for in its present condition 1t Is said to
be improbable that the amount needed for
so extensive a work could be obtained.
1t is unlikely, moreover, that the receivers
of the road would undertake work of
this kind SO long the company has lot
been put upon such a basis financially
that the increase OF its transportation Ia
cilities would not be handicapped by an
Improvement like that contemplated here,
incidental TO the abolition OF the grade
crossings.
Several important points VIII bc gained
by the contemplated change. The Most
important is, of course. the greater safety
of life and lmb secured 10y the eii;nina-
ton Of grade e-crossings. Another is the
embelshment of a considerable area now
occupied by unsghtly tracks, and the
opening to travel OF a number of streets
now made absolutely useless from the same
cause. People in the northeastern sec
ton OF the city Will he delighted TO be 10
longer compelled to wait AT bars and gates
until trains or shifting cars have passed
by, and anxious mothers will not be IN
constant fear lest their little tOddlers be
crushed under the wheels There is no
question but that the value OF property
il that vicinity viii toe largely increased
so that the change will lie beneficial in
more than one way.
A matter for sincere coEgratulatiOn, both
to the company and the people OF the Dis
triCt, win be the demolition of the unSighily
shed that now passes for depot build
ing and the erection instead OF struc-
ture worthy of the capital and of so great
a corporation. According to the plans
thus far indicated it will have an imposing
front, occupying the front OF the whole
square on New Jersey avenue from TOD.
II not only commodious quarters are
aimed at, but some concession is made
to architectural ornamcntation, the struc-
ture will be an attractive addition to that
part of the city.
1t is to be hoped that the intentions of the
Senate District Committee to have no more
grade-crossings in Washington by the end
of the present century will be carried out,
and thus another fruitful source OF com
plaint removed.

spoILs SYSTEM GOING.

Civil service reform gave Knockout
blow to the spoils system when President
Cleveland promulgated the order in-
Guiding in the classified service nearly
thirty thousand more positions, in fact, a IL
not requiring confirmation by the Senate
and excepting also ofourtb-class spostmaster
EiGhty-five thousand offices are now
protected by the reform and but7I5 places
excepted from open competitive examina-
tions. There is but little doubt that in
few years nearly all offices in the civil
service will be embra ced in the competitive
system, the spokesman will be as Lonesome
as Macauley's New Zealander aud the
public service will be as nearly perfect as it
can be made.
Few people appreciate the magnitude OF
the reform wrought in SO brief a period as
fifteen years. II was President Arthur.
Who in a tentative sort OF way, brought
some $1,000 places inder the control of the
merit system. He incurred the ridicule
of the professional politicians and Con-
gressmen sneered at him. They had pass
ed the Pcndlcton act. but without the least
expectation that it would ever have any
Conside rable effect. There was even "a
class OF prominent newspapers who
treated the subject of civil service reform
half jestingly, half abusively. But the re-
form appealed to the thinking people. and
tue good results it achieved commended it
more and more. until today its business
like principles and practice have enlisted
strong public sentiment in its favor.
or course, just SO long as there is any
considerable number of offices not in
cluded in the competitive system there
will be Congressman and snall-fry poll
ucians who will raise 4 howl every lime
a suggestion is made to extend it, but yet
even these are compelled TO acknowledge
that the public service has been greatly
improved by every step forward. The
interests OF the people are certainly better
and more promptly served, and The whole
routine adminis;raliOn of tue affairs OF the
government rests upon the same practical
principles that a business man applies TO
the conduct of his establishment.
President Cleveland has many official
sins of commission and omission to answer
for, but credit must be given him for the
extension of civil service reform, in regard
TO which he has redeemed his early pledge
and promises.
