.yUDGUEyT ON CECIL RHODES.

That which was expected has come TO pass
The Parliamentary South Africa Committee
has censured Cecil Rhodes. 1t declares, as the
outcome Of its Investigations. that he was
chiefly responsible for the jameson Raid, with
it's gross breach of international comfy and con-
seouent embarrassment Of the imperial and CO.
lonial governments that he msrsed the great
trusts reposed in him, and TINT he deceived his
associates and political supcriOrs. Some Of his
comrades are also censured. but the chief blame
falls upon him. NJ. Chamberlain, Lord Ros-
mead. and the Government generally, are de-
clared TO be entirely bameless in the matter.
And there the committee proposes to let the
case rest. Mr.. Labouchere, as was also ex-
pected makes minority report Of his own, In
which he leaves mot even LancelOt brave, nor
Galahad clean" That Is a characteristic per-
Torrance Of the Commissioner who published

divisions previous to the passage OF the C'vii
Service law were generally promoted from the
ranks. and were included in the first draft OF
the original classification. Secretary roger
however preferred to test the classification on
n smaller scale, but after repeated recommenda-
tiou by the Civil Service Commission they were
finally classified The only thing that would
prompt their exemption now would be the as
surancc that a considerable body OF them were
using their protected places to thwart the pohcy
Of their superiors because Of political difference
ANY such opposition would warrant dismissals
and might argue that these men had enough
to do with policy to make their politics impor-
tant.
The departments may be expected to deal
with that subject in accord with the actual
facts In the same spirit in which the carriers
question has been considered and not at all
for the purpose Of making vacancies. The ex-
tension of the merit system Is Republican
policy and spoilsmen might as well reconcile
themselves to the fact. The party Is hurt rather
than helped by patronage. Men who cry for
the correction of partisan abuses by the sub
stitution Of new ones are entitled to no consld-
Grafton. The test Of merit Is the only substi-
tute which Republican principles and Repub-
lcan pledges permit.

Mohave County miner., 1897-05-15
evel, that is not mineralized -Prospec
 ar

The Clancy Miner is after the people of Helena for not devoting more attention and money to the mining districts i'm mediately surrounding that city, and gives prospectors this advice: Many miners from this section of the country are making Q wild stampede to British Colum bia, Alaska and other hyperbo rean regions. The farther away the mining country is the more difficult it is to reach, the greater the hardshipS to be suffered after getting there, and the big. ger the lies they have read concerning it the more eager they are to go. There seems to be fascination in the stories of wonderful strikes which the average prospector finds it very hard to with stand. The taller the yarn the more acute his pains; the disease is contagious and more deadly than the bubonic plague. And It does not stop with the prospector It affects the capitalist and investor in mines as we'll. They leave a country where they have made their home and have their business interests to develop a region a thousand miles away, attracted by the yarns of fabulous riches easily procured, and the glamor of distance. Take the city of Helena as a center and draw circle around it ot 25 or 30 miles away, and you have the finest undeveloped mineral region to be found in America. But it will take a barrel and half of wind to the square inch to induce home capital to develop any portion of it, while a few industri ously circulated lies with plenty of dis tance in them will enlist capital in short order. There is more Helena capital in. vested in the mines of Idaho, Washing ton and British Columbia than in the area of the circle above described, and this notwithstanding the fact that the meteorological chances of success are greater at home than abroad, to say nothing of climatic conditions and trans portation facilities.
