tation. It viii have this effect in the
case OF Nevada, only in an exaggerated
degree. The state has small Dopula-
ton and because OF this fact it has
been made the object of many vicious
attacks by the eastern press. The ma

they have been without warrant and
gave evidence of spleen and hatred

state has furnished a ground of attack,

ground there is no way to repel it. OF

A writer in the New Y ork Sun tells the
following story of Judge Gary of Chi
cage, who tried the anarchists and is now
trying Luetgert: a man charged with BIZ
gamy was before him. The accused had
lived two years with the second woman,
and he concluded to plead guilty on the
understanding with the states attorney
that his sentence would divorce him from
No. 2. When he stood before Judge Gary.
asked in q voice of kindness:
You fully understand what the plea of
guilty meanS?"
Yes. your honor
And do you understand if you so plead
it will be my duty to send you to the
penitentiary? Do you understand that?"
Yes, your honor. Anything to get
free
The judge looked at the man for a mo-
manner:
Il suppose there are some things be-
side which the prison would be a relief
Any relative rfriend of the defendant
in court?"
a woman in black stood up on bench
ana said in a voice which sounded like a
rip of cambria:
II am his second wife, judge"
Judge Gary replied Immediately, with
no change in his voice or face:
Some things beside which prison would
be a relief. You ought to be willing TO
take three years.
The prisoner nodded an assent.
Judge Gary looked over at the woman
in black. He seemed to read her in a
second. He turned to the man who had
pleaded guilty and said:
81 will give you one year. You seem
to have had the other two before they
arrested you.''

ATTACKING CIVIL SERVICE RE
FORM.

General Grosvenor and other Repub-
Iican members of the house have held
a caucus to discuss the question of
civil service reform. What transpired
in the caucus is not known, but it is
known that the leaders of it are hos
tile to civil service reform and are
determined to destroy it if they can.
They do not complain that the public
is not as we'll or better served as
under the old system; they simply
want the Offices, and the civil service
reform law stands in the way of salts
flying their wants. The law has not
done all that its friends anticipated,
and 10 doubt it has been prostituted
to political purposes in many in
stances. There is also no question that
often those who are protected by it use
it as a shield for insolence to their
superiors, an insolence that it would
be almost impossible to formulate into
charges, and which, if it were so for
mulated it would be very difficult
matter to prove But these are not
the defects that Grosvenor and his
friends wish to remedy; they want
spoils and nothing else. The manner
in which they attack the law is far
more to be commended than making
executive orders extending the CLASH
fed service and then undermining the
orders in a roundabout way. If there
is to be civil service reform it should
be genuine or nothing.

AN APPEAL TO TIE AMERICAN
PEOPLE.

I ask the American public to secure
for me another chance, says ex-Cham-
pion Corbett. 'I sincerely believe 1
can defeat Mr.. F'itzsimmons and bring
the championship of the world back to
America
An appeal to the American people
When there is a question of genuine
patriotism involved is never without
effect. For their country they are ever
ready to sacrifice their property and
their lives, and men can do no more
than this. But this appeal of the ex-
champions to them is scarcely such a
one as will stir the American people
as did the call for $4,000 volunteers at
the outbreak of the war Then how
is the American public to secure this
chance for the ex-champion? Mr..
Fitzsimmons cannot be made to give it
to him. In truth, Nevada is about the
only state in the Union where he could
give him this chance without breaking
the law and subjecting himself to pun
ishment. This being the case, only the
people of Nevada should be appealed
to to compel Mr.. Fitzsimmons to give
Mr.. Corbett the chance he covets.
The ex-champion says he wants to
bring the championship Of the world
back to America. A most noble as
piration, but impossible of accomplish
ment, for the single but powerful rea-
son that it is already here, being held
by Robert Fitzsi1nmons, Esq, who has
made this country his home, and who,
in this, our own beloved city, testified
before a large and enthusiastic audi
ence that he loved the beagle. The
championship must be the thing and
not the holder OF 1t. 1t being here and
the holder of it saying he will not
fight any more, why worry about it?
And even if it were not here the Aneri-
can people are not so proud of pugilism
that they are going to take any mans
appeal in behalf of it and make it a
national question. Their sentiments are
against it. and they would prefer to
have the pugilistic championship and
all who are striving for it, no matter
in what class, go to some other coun-
try. The highest aim of the American
people is not to possess the pugilistic

The PittSburg Dispatch says some of
its contemporaries are inclined to jeer
at Congressman Shafroth's plan for
reducing expenses when they reach q
certain limit, but that the jeers are
misplaced. Mr. Shafroth is an ordi-
nary congressman himself, and he
knows what a member of that class
will do when the question of cutting
off $1,000 year from his salary is con-
cerned," says the Dispatch. while
congressman may do what the admin
istratton rules as to tariff. and submit
themselves blindly to the speaker on
other points, they would in that con-
tingency inform their leaders that one
thing must not happen; and that
strictly forbidden thing would be an
excess of the expenditures of the reve-
nue. Inasmuch as the biggest half of
the late troubles was due to the pro-
pensity of congressman to go ahead
and vote appropriations with sublime
disregard of what the revenue was, a
plan that would bind congressman,
backed by the noble army of Office
holders, to the platform that there shall
be no deficiencies, would fill the long
felt want. But how is Mr.. Shafroth
going to set congress, which has been
the chief offender, to bind itself to that
self-reformation?" OF Mr.. Shafroth's
plan it may be said that the motive is
commendable, but the method of carry
ing It out is weak.

A BOLD, BAD BOY.

I am sitting by the river.
Where the waters dance and culver
In the breeze,
And the little birds are winging
Till their melody is ringing
Through the trees.
Here together we sat cumming,
Eloise,
While we listened to the humming
OF the bees,
And you said when made money
AS the little bees made honey,
L would be your solid sonny
Oh, you tease!
AS we sat beneath the willows,
Eloise,
Bosoms heaving as the pillows
OF the seas,
Oh, how fond the recollection!
That by prudent circumspection
l was winning your affection
By degrees
All at once a scream went flying
Through the trees,
Seemed to Shatter zen the signing
OF the breeze,
And the voice which erstwhile charmed
me
Now with pitying. ring alarmed me,
! Till the very blood that warmed me
Seemed to freezei
What chill of fear came DER me,
Eloise,
AS you threw yOQISSlL DeLOAS
On your knees,
And you said a bug that harm meant
Was between your back and garment,
And you begged the dreadful varInint
1 would seizei
But my modesty was riven,
Eloise,
And my bushes ran up seven
Ty degrees,
And you called me craven coward,
Epithets upon me showered,
| And alone left me EMPOWERED
Meath the trees.
So again here am sitting,
Eloise,
And the same old birds are fitting
| Through the trees;
In the same old way they're winging
And the same old songs they're singing,
And the same old music's ringing
On the breeze.
| But I've grown a whole lot older,
And I've Certainly grown holder,
By degrees
| And if now had occasion
would stop that bugs invasion
| Without any hesitation,
Eloise,

It seems that up in Boston an at
tempt has been made to raise prejudice
against Mayor Quincy on account of
his religious views. ''This is something
that we believe should be kept abso-
lutely out of the campaign" says the
Boston Post Whether man is a
Catholic, Protestant or a Mohamme-
dan is a matter between himself and
his individual conscience, and it has
nothing to do with the mayoralty OF
the city of Boston. Men of all re-
ligious beliefs should resent an at
tempt to inject this issue into the can
vass, or any issue connected with it,
1t has no place there except for mis-
chief So far from helping any candi-
date before the people, the raising of
this issue is bound to react to the in
jury of the one VINO makes it. More
over, the least that is said about these
things in a political campaign, the bet
ter it is. They don't belong there"

Philadelphia Ledger: The president in
his extraordinary long message makes no
recommendation, no suggestion 10 con-
greSs in respect to providing adequate
revenue for the government, except by
way of borrowing it on q new KIND OF

Dingiey act and his absolute avoidance OF
any mention of or reference to the fact
that the tariff, instead of producing q
surplus, is intlicting monthly deficit of
50 Quo. 900, the president seems to indicate
that he is not seriously Impressed by a
condition which is regarded as one OF
vital gravity by the representatives OF
the country's great business interest.
Chicago Record: These are questions
