ALAS! FOR CIVIL SERVICE REFORM

ALAS! FOR CIVIL SERVICE REFORM
While the civil service law has few
defenders left the miserable hypocrisy
of the administration in pretending to
uphold the law while no administra-
ton was ever guilty of grossel viola
lions of it's letter and spirit, is dis
gushing to true Americans. 1t IL said
en- good authority at Washington taat
after the elections next month gov
ernment employees within the provis-
ions of the civil service laws will le-
ceive more protection than is accorded
them now, and that Il ruling will be
made against removing deputy collcc-
tors, storekeepers and gaugers.
Why after the elections next month?
Why? The answer is PLAIN. The
President is being forced tt. do all he
can for Boss Hanna in the way of nut
ting enthusiastic" workers in the
Ohio field for the administration boss.
The same game is being worked in the
State are being held back in order that
Ohio pensions may be given full swing,
and each pension is accompanied by a
reminder that the pensioner should be
grateful to Mark Hanna, whose vigil
ance is to be thanked for the prompt
recognition of the claim. The civil
service law is to be nullified until
every Democrat in Ohio whom it is
possible to reach is supplanted by a
Hanna Republican. who will use his
Office and work tooth and nail for the

Timely showers have broken the
drought in the South and West. Great

While the crops have already suffered
severely in some localities, the rain
and the promise of more showers has
relieved the situation immensely.

LIQUIDATION

Liquidation.
Asheville, N. c., October 12.-When
the First National Bank failed on July
80. many 0epositors in the Western
Carolina Bank endeavored to draw out
their funds. The sixty-day rule was
enforced as soon as the demand became
large, and this morning the bank did
not open its doors. A statement on the
door reads: ''This bank closed for
liquidation"
1t is understood that the bank was
overloaded with real estate, especially
country property, on which realiza-
ton will be slow. The number of
small depositors is large, and there was
some excitement when the doors of the
bank did not open this morning.

Hume, Mo-, Oct. 4.-The Hume bank
was entered by two masked men and
with two nitro Iycerine explosions
made an opening in the big steel safe

the robbers to stand and watch the
operations at the point of their guns.
Marshal Pat Powers arrived and put
the robbers to fight. They stole a
horse and carriage and left for the
Kansas line. An armed posse is after
them and 1t is expected they will be
caught. The bank building was
wrecked by the explosion.

In letters to our government Japan
disclaims any designs of her own on
the Hawaiian islands, but makes for
NAL protest against their annexation
by the United States on three grounds:
First, that the maintenance of existing
conditions is essential to the good UNI
derstanding of the powers which have
interests in the Pacific; second, that
annexation would endanger the rights
of Japanese residents in Hawaii, who
number $4,000; and third, that it might
lead Hawaii to postpone the settlement
of the claims of Japan against her. Our
government has replied, insisting on
the right of annexation, but giving
Japan friendly assurances that her
rights and those of her subjects will
be respected.

The. United States and Russia have
never yet had dispute. On the con-
trary, the very warmest friendship has
always existed between them. During
the civil war Russian fleet prev anted
a British fleet from blowing up New
York In 1898 the car offered to loan
us 100,000,000 in gold to replenish the
reserve. There is not much immigra-
ton from Russia, but as rule the Rus
sian makes good citizen of any coun-
try. Thousands of Americans live and
do business in Russia. From these
we learn that Russia is not the sort
of despotism that some British writ
ers try to make out The country is
we'll governed and wealth is equally
distributed. The common laborer is
better off than his brother in America.
There are no prisons and very little
crime. The alleged horrors of Siberia
that we read about in English papers
are not horrors at all. A man con-
yicted of crime is sent to Siberia for
a term of years. He is put to work,
but is not shackled. If he is married,
receives fair remuneration for his SER
vices and at the end of his term OF
service rarely quits his exile. single
wear in British prison is equivalent to
a life sentence to Siberia. We cannot
learn too much about Russia. Some
time ago there was talk of an alliance
between the United States and Eng
land. Our senate wisely refused to
ratify it. We do not think that
similar proposition from Russia would
be as speedily refused. Perhaps
treaty will be concluded before the end
of the century. In the meantime there
is a perfect understanding between
the two nations. Russia alone among
Europeans is friendly to the Monroe
doctrine. There is not the slightest
doubt but that in case of necessity she
would aid us to defend it.
