A Big Haul by Thieves In Cincinnati-Th
Affair Enshrouded in Mystery.
CINCINNATI, May 23. "A Zig diamond
robbery occurred on Richpond street,
near Linn, some time Friday night or
Saturday morning, and the details are
considerable of a mystery. Mr. Hilb,
the Front street iron merchant, lives
with his family at 740 Richmond street.
The jewelry was taken from bed
room on the second floor in the front
part of the house. sThe family had re-
tired early, and the theft was not dis
covered until Saturday morning. The
jewelry was taken from a bureau in
the second floor room, and a room. on
the third floor was also entered and
ransacked, some trinkets being taken.
Saturday morning the members of
the family could give no information
concerning the manner in which the
theft was committed, nor the value of
the jewelry taken, though it is roughly
estimated at $1,000.
A sneak thief probably secured ad-
mittance through the front door, which
was temporarily left open.

The Flood at st. Louis.

ST Louis, May 23,-Thc flood in the
Mississippi touched the 27 foot gauge
at o'clock Saturday morning. This is
within one foot of the danger line. and
it is expected that point will be reach
ed by Sunday night. Preparations for
moving quickly have been made by the
people living on the eastern side of the
river above East st. Louis, but unless
high winds prevail, it is believed that the
railroad and turnpike embankment
will be strong enough to resist the
force of the waters. The flood from
the Missouri river is expected to empty
into the Mississippi by Monday.

A NEW FOE TO sPoILs.

Senator Hin has seen lie W light 1t
seems to have flashed upon him with
startling suddenHess and reveale to him
with cathode-ray penetration the ghastly
spectre of his former political self. Those
who have best known the famous Ne W York
Senator and observed his distinguished
career have seen in him the living embodi-
meut of the maxim Ito the victor belongs
the spoils" While he welded the power
iu the Empire State he insisted strenuousIy
upon having the disposal Of political patron
age in his hands or the hands OF those
whom he knew to be true 10 his interests.
Aud now ne is cIedited with the declara
ton that patronage is source of weak
ness and a curse, and in no sense bless
ing to any political party"
He is right Of course; uGr does he stand
alone in his belief. The marvel is that SO
shTewd and sagacious politician as
David Bennett Hill should have been so
long coming TO such q conclusion. All
corruption is a source of weakness, and
the spoiIs system, the bestowal Of public
office for private services to some polit
cal boss, is about the mCSt corrupt thing
against which the e0ple have had to con-
tend That il is not a source OF strength
to party is best proved by the fact that
State aud National administrations, with
all the patronage at their command, have
been overthrOwn By the party that was
without any such iRduCement to offer TO
its supporters.
Senator HilI, therefore, has simply re-
peated u truism, but it is not the less
pleasing to perceive that SO firm an adj
hercnt-formerly-of the spoils system
has seen the error OF his ways, and made
public confession, which is said to be good
for the soul. There Will be great rejoicing
among the civil service refOrmers over
the prospect that ere long Senator Hill
will be one of them, and will plead rs
eIoquently and as inpressively as any OF
them for the enforcement of civil ser
vice reform. For il is written that there
is more rejoicing over the conversion Of
one sinner than the advent OF ninety-nine
righteous ones, or words to that effect.
Deeds meet for repentance may now be
expected from David Bennett Hill.
