THE st. Louis convention which
met and adjourned over year ago
declared in its platform that the civil
service law was placed on the statute
books by the Republican party renew
ed its repeated declarations that it
should be thoroughly and honestly
enforced and extended wherever prac-
ticable." President Mckinley evil
IDENTIFY took this platform and the
seven million people who supported
it at their word, and because of this
declaration took the first opportunity
to amend the civil service law by his
recent order, which prohibits the re
moval of faithful men and women
without specific charges and an OPP
pOrtunity to answer them. This ac-
ton, while it distresses some who
had hoped that positions might be
opened to them by removals, is gen
orally commended by the leading men
and newspapers of the country.

Senator German, whose party ma
chine was derailed and dumped into
the ditch when he connected it with
Organism, is now trying to get it in
to running order again. At the last
State convention he had a platform
adopted which avoided the free silver
issue, a vague declaration in favor of
the coinage of both gold and silver
being substituted for the Chicago
plank. Immediately he found him
self in danger of falling between two
stools. The free silver fanatics CON
demned the platform as "evasive
and cOwardly," and have started a
movement for an Independent organ
iZatiOn.' The gold democrats are
equally as scornful of an attmept to
straddle the leading issue of the day,
and will bend their efforts to electing
a legislature which will have an anti
German majority. Many regular
Democrats think that German is too
heavy load to carry, and that in
order to give the party chance of
regaining control of the State Cor
man should retire. The next legisla-
ture elects Germans successor, and if
he is a candidate for reelection, the
German issue will outweigh all other
issues in the minds of thousands of
voters who would otherwise be in
clined to vote the Democratic ticket.
At this juncture a statement has
been given to the public that Senator
German intends to retire from public
life. All he wants to do now is tosee
his party restored to power, and then
lie will claim the right to lay down
the burdens of public service and re-
tire like Cincinnatus to his farm.
Nothing has contributed so much to
the public gaiety as this announce
ment. Senator German says YEARLY
that he does not care to deny the re-
port, but instead of being impressed
there is popular disposition to make
fun of the manouvre. The interpreta-
ton put upon the incident is that if
a legislature should be elected that
German can control he will shake off
that tired feeling and come out again
as a candidate. If his campaign is a
failure then they can say that it was
well known to his friends that he
wanted to retire from public life, and
hence it would be absurd to say that
it was a defeat for him.

THE Maryland Democrats have ev-
identity neglected to read the Repub-
lican platform of 1896. They express
great delight in their platform adopt
ed the other day that the votes of
100000 Democrats last fall in favor
of silver had driven President McKin-
ley and the Republican Congress to
try to arrange terms with the Europ-
can powers for a bimetallic system.
Bless you, Brother German, that is
just what the Republican platform of
last year promised to do and, OF
course, the Republican party is re
deeming its pledges in this particular
as it always does in all particulars,
and if you are in earnest in your ex-
presssions Of delight about interna-
tional bimetallism, why not join the
Republican party?

Some days ago was announced the
discovery of a new distinction of
bicyclists which, in the furry of
cheaper wheels, was comparatively
little noticed. 1t is neither deformity
nor affection, and unlike the bicycle
face, it is not peculiar to men. The
women have it more cOnspicuOusly.
Whatever may be said as to the actual
existence of Ostrich necks, " pigeon
toes" "knock knees and other alb
normalities caused by wheeling, the
lately developed "bicycle blush is
real and a virtue.
1t mustn't be inferred that the
bicycle blush is, in the least degree,
the result of shock, anger or hUmilia-
ton. Quite the opposite. A young
woman may be spinning along the
avenue unaccompanied and with
nothing whatever to modest her, and
at the same time present very strik-
ing example of the bicycle blush. Or,
she may be reclining leisurely at home
after her ride, and still possess the
bicycle blush. In fact, wherever she
may be it will cling to her.
The blush in question results from
the generous inhaling Of fresh air,
from the healthful exercise of the
body, and from the consequent free
circulation of the blood. Plenty of
life-giving oxygen is responsible for
the bicycle blush, and the best way
to produce ii is to mount and roll
away.

The Jail Full.

With the Jail filled to its capacity
and work piling up around him there
is no buster man in the county than
Sheriff Austin Brown. He hardly
finds time to sleep and with the Sep
TENDER term of court near at hand he
will be kept buster than ever.
There are now eleven prisoners in
Jail, charged with all manner of crime
from stealing chickens to that of at
tempted murder.
Charles Cole, of near Bloomington,
is, perhaps, the hardest prisoner with
which the Sheriff has to deal. He
was committed some months ago on a
peace warrant and will probably re
main a prisoner for year and a day
as he seems to be unable to fill a bond
for his good behavior. An indict-
ment for an attempt to break Jail will
probably be found against him also.
Charles Gunter, of Tyrone, Pa, is
another prisoner. He confessed with
having robbed the house of David
Mosser of a sum of money. He seems
to regret that he committed the crime
and his confession at this time may
serve to tighten his sentence when
his trial takes place.
Orson Corwin, of District No. >, is
another prisoner committed for a
year and a day on a peace warrant.
jeremiah Burkholder, CT District
No. 70, is charged with committing a
rape, as is also William German, of
District No. 2.
Charles and Jennie Diehl, OF the
Seventh district, brother and sister,
and both OF whom are confirmed Opt
um eaters, are prisoners charged with
stealing chickens.
James Flynn, Of Bloomington, who
is charged with committing a muir
derSus assault upon Fred. Bergman
at Bloomington last June, is also one
the prisoners in Sheriff Browns keep
ing. The victim of Flynn's assault
was taken to the Cumberland hospital
the day after the assault occurred,
where he is still confined and in pre-
carious. condition, the blows he re
ceived at the hands of his assailant
having resulted in paralysis of his
powers of speech.
Calvin Conn, haIf-witted boy of
seventeen, is charged with stealing a
gun and some clothing from citizen
of the Second district.
Michael McFulkey, the Pole, lar
ceny and assault and battery, is one
of the late arrivals
John johnson, from along the line
of the West Virginia Central, is an
Old resident of the jail and is charged
with committing a murderous assault
upon John Nee, a conductor on the
above road.
The charges against all the prison
ers will be disposed of at the Septem-
| Der term.

A FREIGHT-CAR famine is now
threatened in those regions of the
West where a money famine was prev
alent under the Cleveland admins
tration. Farmers of the West, whose
abundant crops at profitable prices
have been the theme of newspapers
of late, are absolutely unable to OBJ
tain freight cars with which to trans
port their grain, although many
thousands of these cars were idle al
most constantly under the low tariff
and bond-issuing administration of
President Cleveland. Despite the
fact that silver has fallen, the price
of grain has steadily advanced so that
the growers of the West are utterly
unable to obtain facilities for trans
portation as fast as desired.

The Disruption of Democracy.
The discussion of the Dingley tariff
in the United States Senate will al
ways be noted for the complete dis
ruption of the Democratic party on
the issue of free trade. When West
Virginia joined the Republican party
in 1892 on the tariff question, it was
predicted that the ''Solid South was
forever broken. Subsequent politi-
cal history has confirmed this predic-
ton. The action of West Virginia
has been followed by Kentucky and
Tennessee. The House of Represen-
tatives has given us some Southern
members of Congress allied with the
friends of protection from other sec
lions of the country, but in the Sen
ate the supposed representatives of
Southern interests have hitherto
been afraid to openly avow their hon
est convictions, though urged to do
so by their constituents, until the
present time.
Of course the action of those South
ern Senators who honestly concede
that the policy of protection is bene-
fetal to Southern Industries is assail-
ed by the Democratic press of the
country. But the sneering illusions
made to their "selfishness" and Their
scramble for the spoils of protection
will have no influence upon the deter
minatiOn of the Southern Senators
who believe, and who candidly eX-
press their belief, that protection for
the rice, cotton and cane sugar inter
ests of the South just as much as it
does for the hay, hops, wool and beet
! sugar interests elsewhere. The Dem
ocratic papers that denounce them
are forced to acknowledge that some
benefit attaches to the policy of pro-
lection, ever though they Mugwum-
pishly term it ''spoils.''
OF a truth, this is a good term.
1t "spoils" the chief stronghold of
free trade. 1t ''spoils'' the solidity of
the South which has for too long
been allied to foreign interests and OPP
! posed to American advancement.
And, best of all, it 'spoils'' a heap of
the arguments wherewith the Demo
cratic and Mugwumpish newspapers
have sought to delude the American
people that the ''spOils'' resulting
from our honest industry and earnest
labor in our own country should be
transferred to foreigners under the
| guise of the ''spOilsn of free trade.
Moreover, it "spoils'' the Democratic
party, disrupting it asunder with a
breach that can never be healed by
the future tariff history Of the United
States. These are few of the "spoils''
of which prOtectiOnists can be proud,
and the thanks of all earnest believ-
ers in the policy of protection are due
to the Southern Senators, Messrs.
Bacon, Butler, McLaurin, Tillman
and Clay, also to Congressman Brous-
sard, Davey, Meyer, Kleburg and
Slayden, for their public and patri-
otric avowel that protection will ben
eft Southern industries The seed
thus sown will return abundant
harvest.

ONE would suppose that Senators
Pettigrew and Cannon had undertake
en- a rather unpleasant and thankless
task in attempting to obtain any adj
vantageous pointers in favor of free
silver by going to Japan and China
in such a time as this, but when you
take into consideration that their ex-
penses are probably being paid by
the silver trust, it is not so difficult
to explain their enthusiasm.

THE PEOPLES PICNIC

It is beyond question that, Mr.. Bryan
will be accorded the greatest reception
ever given to any man in the history Of
California. Everybody wants to Sc.
him. Every town is anxious to receive
him. There is bound to be some disap-
pointment, for it would be a physical
impossibility for Mr.. Bryan to accom-
modate all who wish to welcome him.
1t may be depended upon that the ar
rangements made will be as liberal as
possible. as becomes visit from the
grand young champion of the common
people.
There seems to be a slight disposition
on the part of one or two newspapers
to charge Los Angeles with selfishness
in the matter of arranging Mr.. Bryan's
itinerary. Such a charge is wholly un-
warranted. Los Angeles does not con-
troll Mr.. Bryan's movements, and could
not possibly be the gamer by becoming g.
the beneficiary of any exclusive arrange
ments.
The Herald wants everybody to have
the opportunity, SO far as it is possible
to arrange the matter, to see and hear
Mr. Bryan, no matter who they are or
where they come from. This is the
peoples picnic.

ANOTHER SIGHT DRAFT

The report that the eastern Repub-
lican senators will not support the cent
rate on citrus fruits unless the. sugar
schedule is given support in return is
confirmed. Senator Aldrich, the Repub-
lican leader in the senate, issued the
ultimat tum.
Thus the Republican party is called
upon to pay another installment Of its
debt to the trusts. If Southern Callfor-
mia wants a duty on citrus fruite. If
Wyoming and Colorado want a duty on
hides. they must help to put additional
millions Of dollars into the bulging pock-
cts Of the sugar trust.
Alger was the paying teller when the
San Pedro harbor postponement made
good the matured obligation held by C.
P. Huntington. Senator Aldrich is the
paying teller who is scrambling about
for means to pay the sight draft drawn
by the sugar trust. In both instances
the price comes out Of the resources of
the people. How long must this sort Of
thing be endured?

THE RESPONSIBILITY EASILY
PLACED

The esteemed Express labors through
the better part of a column editorial to
prove that the present awkward situa-
lion as regards San Pedro harbor could
not. from the very nature Of things.
have any political bearing.
Well, mebbe not
But we can't help recalling the fact
that the appropriation made by the last
congress was approved by Democratic
president and the completed plans were
tstration to be executed. Are they in
process of execution? And if not, why
not?
Primarily Secretary Alger is the man
who has taken upon his shoulders the
responsibility of setting aside a law Of
the United States, of which he was con-
stituted the especial executor. Nobody
believes for a moment that Secretary
Alger would take such an important
step as this without first consulting
with and securing the approval of the
president. And there you are. Presi-
dent Nc Kinley is as deep in the quag-
mire as Secretary Alger, and both are
pretty deep. The people of the country
who have seen the law outraged and
their rights overridden at the behest of
grasping corporation know we'll
enough where to place the blame. The
Republican administration will have 70
tion gldes into politics at pretty lively
rate by and by, the Republican admins
tration will have only itself to blame.
and the Republican party will have to
stand and hold the bag"
