A Promise Well Kent.

When in Nashville Tuesday Mr..
7. n. Figuers was hailed by an old
friend, Mr.. Meadors, and requested
to bring out package to his son,
DR.. Joseph T. Meadows, a promising
young dentist of Columbia. The
package contained a handsome gold
watch. When DR.. Meadors was lG
years old his father told him if he
would not drink or swear or use
tobacco in any form, he would give
him gold watch when he became
81 years of age. The young man
made the promise and kept it, and is
now enjoying the fruits of his
stability of character.

Olympia has resident professor
who, when he is not talking astronomy
or tracing Greek and Latin roots, is
utilized by his friends as kind of a
free cyclopaedia. He is generally
equal to the average emergencies OF
busy life, but according to his own
statement he was recently knocked OFT
his pins by the rather ludicrous out
come OF little incident in which he
was an innocent actor.
He was called upon by two dashing
young ladies, the other day, who
wanted a romantic name for Il Maltese
cat of which they had just become the
joint proprietors.
She is such dear, sweet creature"
began the chief speaker of the twain,
" and now, Professor, please dig down
deep into the lore OF ancient litera-
ture and give us name in keeping
with her sleek dusky coat and queenly
bearing"
Call her Cleopatra" said the Pro-
lessor promptly, and Cleopatra it was.

The Result.

The football season has practically
closed, although it is probable that
games will be played ON Christmas
day all over the country. There are
125 reported casualties of all degrees of
severity, from slight bruises and
broken noses to dangerous injuries and
death. Three deaths are so far re-
ported withscores of serious accidents
at the various eastern hospitals and
private homes. Last year, the deaths
reached n dozen or more. One of
these occurred in Seattle and one in
Portland.
The three deaths reported this year
occurred in the east but like election
news, when the returns are all in, it is
of course, foregone conclusion that
many more deaths will be added to
the present mortality list.
This years casualties already out
number three to one, the combined
number of casualties resulting from
Spanish and Mexican bull fights and
prize-fghts in the United States.
Thus will it be seen that in the
Understanding and death-dealing
bruises, the football boys are far in the
lead.
And yet this rough-and-tumble
game is growing more popular every
year. The big games of the east have
been witnessed by hundreds of thous-
ands of people, the money element
directly and indirectly involved has
reached up to the high water mark of
half million dollars.
The Yale and Princeton game cleared
over $4,000 in gate money receipts
alone after paying 5000 for the use
of grounds, besides other expenses in
proportion. And yet people talk of
hard times! Who will rise up and
write a fitting moral to all this?

The President endorses the recon-
mendation made by the present Score.
tary Of the Interior as well as his pred.
ecessor that permanent commission
consisting OF three members, one of
whom shall be an army officer, be Gre
ated to perform the duties now devolv.
ing upon the Commissioner and AS
sistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
The management of the bureau in
wolves such numerous and diverse de-
tails and the value OF an uninterrupted
policy are SO apparent that he hopes
the change suggested will meet the ap-
proval OF the Congress.
Mr.. Cleveland, as usual devotes
quite lengthy paragraph to eulogy
of civil service. He congratulates the
country upon the fact that $4,000 pc.
sitions now belong to the classified
competitive service, more than one
half of which have been filled since
March 4, 1895. March 9th, 1896,
most radical extension was made by
executive order, of which he says:
If fourth class postmasterships are
not included in the statement, it may
be said that practically all positions
contemplated by the civil service laws
are now classified. Abundant reasons
exist for including these postmaster
ships based upon economy, improved
service and the peace and quiet of
neighborhoods. If, however, obstacles
prevent such action at present, 1 earn
estly hope that Congress will, without
increasing postoffice appropriations,
80 adjust them as to permit in proper
cases, a consolidation of these post
offices to the end that through this
process the result desired may to
limited extent be accomplished"
This remarkable disposition to place
as many as possible of salaried posi-
tions beyond the influence of party
control, is in delightful contrast with
the demand the Executive made, dur.
ing the late campaign, that even cabi-
nent officers should enter the hastings
in support of the gold standard. The
"perpicious activity" Of the politician,
so utterly condemned in his first term,
was amply rewarded in the con-
Guiding day of his last administration.
That this was not due to q change OF
sentiment is shown by his "civil SER
vice" palaver, and it must, therefore,
be condoned under the kingly prerog.
alive al the sovereign can do no wrong"
ECONOMY URGED.
In concluding this communication,
its last words shall be an appeal to
the Congress for the most rigid econ
omy in the expenditure of the money
it holds in trust for the people. The
way to perplexing extravaganza is
easy, but return to frugality is diff
cult. When, however, it is considered
that those who can bear the burdens
of taxation have no guaranty of hon.
est care save in the fidelity of their
public servants, the duty :.of all pos
sible retrenchment is plainly manifest
When all differences are forgotten and
our contests of political opinion are
no longer remembered, nothing in the
retrospect of our public service will be
as fortunate and comforting as the
recollection of official duty we'll per.
formed, and the memory of constant
devotion to the interests of our con.
tiding fellow countrymen.

Leaning Towards 1" Anarchy.n

ED. STANDARD:
To-day's Oympian publishes the
following statement regarding the
intellectual abilities of our President
elect:
Mckinley is not yet elected President
and he may never be. Cleveland may
conclude to extend the civil service to
include that job before the electoral col
lege meets.
1t seems strange that n Republican
paper should be the first to say word
against the President-elect of the
United States. If the above article
was published in q Popocrat paper, its
editor would be branded rs an
anarchist and an enemy of the gov
eminent. Majorities should rule, and
whoever is elected President, should
be respected as such.
