After Christmas comes a

ChaS. A. Dana'S
"reminiscences

Mr.. Dana was intimately associated
with the great men of the period of the
Civil War, and had the confidence OF
Lincoln and Stanton, and was sent on
many private missions to investigate
frauds in the army, charges against gen
erals, and other important Investigations.
Lincoln called him 1.-The Eyes Of the
Government" He was much at the front,
telegraphing and writing every day to
Stanton and Lincoln and sending many
nriyate letters to them and to his family.
This unpublished material forms nota-
Bile part of these memoirs, and includes
letters of Stanton, Grant, Sherman, and
others. Indeed, everywhere through
these "reminiscences there are pieces OF
secret history connected with, for IN,
stance. the Siege of Vicksburg, the Fall
of Richmond, the transfer of Jefferson
Davis to Fortress Monroe, etc. Every

THE CONFEDERATE SOLDIER.

The Louisville Courier Journal has
commenced the publication and issue
of highly illustrated magazine, which
is to consist Of thirty-one parts, entitled
The Peoples Pictorial Edition of the
Confederate Soldier in the Civil Wan"
The publication is twelve by twenty
inches square, Illuminated In colors and
with Confederate battle flags and Illus
trated with splendid engravings Of Con-
federate heroes and battle scenes. Price
% cents per copy, issued weekly at 81
Der annum. Harper's Pictorial History
of the War and Leslie's Pictorial Bat
ties doubtless inspired this beautiful
work, which promises to surpass its
patterns. 1t will, in addition to its ART
side, contain a history Of the war and
the biographies Of its generals. heroes
and statesmen, including naval officers,
fights. etc. In short, the idea Is for a
reliable history of the formation Of the
Confederacy and its subsequent strug-
giles. edited by Ben La Bree. In fact,
the scope of the publication is greater
than ANYTHING of the kind heretofore at
tempted in this country along such
lines. The work will be read with q
Ike interest north and south.

GAGE FOR CIVIL SERVICE.

The enforcement of the civil service
rules, which. though held to be a re-
form, and which. indeed, may be, will
Us 'rtheless prove the knell Of party
ana pavtiSanship as now known. The
idea of civil service reform is Of mug
wunp origin in this country, and the
mugwump found his ideal statesman in
Grover Cleveland 1t is something
above and superior TO party, and is
largely antagonistic TO the free ballot.
Civil service eliminates the banner and
the band from the campaign procession
and makes the procession an impossible
ity and the campaign a perfunctOry
effort Civil service reform is not DEM
ocraric but essentially aFistocratic. The
Office holder does not care which parry
Is in power 50 long as he is safe in the
enjoyment Of his political emolument.
The consulshipS and the postmaster
ships only remain TO be put in the civil
service lists when party organization

character such as is seen in England
and other constitutional monarchies.
Civil service carried Do lis ultimates,

MEANTIME THE POWERS LOOK ON

A dispatch from Crete says that the
Turks there have permitted the Mussul-
mans to desDoil the Christian churches
and cemeteries. and that in many in
stances bodies have been torn from
their collins and left in the fields. One
of the objects of the Mohammedans is
plumber.
Yet the six Christian powers Of Eu-
rope have ordered Greece to withdraw
her troolss from the island, and they are
apparently Wiling to assist the sultan's
government to retain control of Crete.
The barhari,eS committed by the Turks
in Armenia and the horrible outrages
now being perpetrated in Crete are suf-
ficient To arouse the indignation Of all
Christendom. and but for the greed and
jealousy Of the so-called great powers
of Europe a stop would have been put
10 them long ago.
The great wrongs that have been per-
petrated by the subjects of the Porte
can never be atoned for until the last
Turk is driven out of Europe and the
empire of the SULTAN in Asia is cut UP
and surrendered to Christian control.
The world will not much longer submit
TO such outrages.

A STEAMSHIP 700 FEET LONG.

At last the Great Eastern, that colos-
sal failure which remained for about
forty years the largest vessel ever built,
aad was broken UP before her dimen-
sions were reached by the gradual
growth of modern steamships, is to be
outdone. The White Star company Is
having monster ship built in Belfast,
Ireland, which will be 25 feet longer
than the Great Eastern. In speed, pow
er, and carrying capacity, the new
giant viii SO far surpaSs the old
one that there will be hardly any room
for comparisons.
The Oceanic viii be 104 feet long.
That VIII be an advance of about 10
feet over the largest other vessel now
built or building, and it will be such Il
step onward toward unheard-of proper
tons in ocean shipping that 1t may well
excite the imagination Of builders and
nayigatOrs alike.

on. being quoted TO such an extent as TO
attract the attention of not only the
students of that institution but of the
New Haven papers, which essayed an
excuse in the way of a defense. That
our harsh criticism OF abundant provo
cation was not unmerited the dispatches
of yesterday morning attest. A contin-
gent of the Junior class united in send
ing the bruiser Jim Corbett a letter
bearing their congratula lions and the
wish that he may succeed in pounding
the life out Of the New Zealander,
which letter was accompanied by flag
of that heightened American institution
for the development Of muscle, together
with the assurance that the sentiment
Of the college was with them in this act
of appreciation and adulation. Yale Is
a great school for those for whom
money means everything, brains moth
ing. as is abundantly evinced by the
character and attainments of the alma
mater of its graduating classes for
many years past.

To Call or Not to Call.

Topeka. Kan, March L-tSpecial)-Go
ernor Leedys published statement that he
can &c no use in calling a special session
now is talk. He made the statement for
the public but he Is trying with the maxi
mum rate people to bring about condi-
ton OF affairs IN the legislature that will
warrant an extra session. A caucus OF the
senate was called last night with no other
object than to extend the present session or
secure pledges for maximum railroad
law In the event a special session is called
within the next three months. 1t 3 not
safe to predict what viii be done, for the
Pops themselves do not know what they
will do. They know. OF at least part OF
them know, what they want to do but
whether they do It depends upon whether
they can find q way. There are at least
forty members Of the legislature who do
not want 10 go home without enacting
maximum rate law or making another des-
perate effort, and these men are sitting ap
nights to devise some plan or hit upon
some argument to break the determination
of the follows who took leave Of their con-
fidence by refusing TO be whipped into line
on a measure considered in some ways 10
be vicious and foolish throughout.
Governor Leedy Is back Of il. II Is very
natural for him 10 say that ne can see no
use in calling special session now and he
has all the reason in the world for saying
1t; yet at the same time. he Is using every
means at his command 10 bring about
demand for reassembling the legislature
and II he manages to plan some sort or
scheme by which Populist railroad law
can be forced through he will not hesitate
to call an extra session. But unless he Is
assured that his word will be obeyed he
will continue to see mo use for a special
effort to secure railroad legislation"
If an extra session should be called and
fail to secure at least railroad and assess
ment laws it would mean the inevitable
political downfall OF the governor, for the
expense of money and time attendant upon
huch action would meet unqualified con-
demnat;on at the hands Of the people. On
the other hand, IL Governor Leedy could
by converting the legislature again, accom-
pEsh what had failed in regular session 1t
would be rebuke that he would be very
glad to administer.
The legislative and executive depart
rnents Of this administration are not on
very good terms and, In fact II looks as
if about the only thing accomplished so
far is a sort Of noisy friction.
The senate caucus last night was a fail
ure and 1t is quite probable that the whole
thing will wind up in a fizzle without any
extension of this session or a special one
either now or later There will be no let
UP, however, on the part Of Governor
Leedy and all the gang of maximumers
till the last man has gone home and all
hope of maximum rate is utterly remov-
ed, so there is no guessing what may come
up.
The Pops have lost their bearing and are
simply sizzling around in a vice-versa right
angled and oblique mix-up which may end
in something or nothing.
