THE SUMS 'AP oLoGY
It Retracss whatis Published in Regard to
Mr.. Prank B. Hoyes.
Ending Of What Has Proved Re-
narkabie ana Widely Discussed
Newspaper Litisation. ,

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE New York
Sun this morning contains the following
editorial statement:
A CORRECTION.
On February ., 1895, the Sun published
an editorial article entitled "The Work of
Rascals," in which certain severe strict
ures were made upon Mr.. Frank B. Noyes
Of The Washington Star.
I'VE desire to correct our statement in
reference to Mr.. Noyes. and to withdra W
any remarks rejecting either upon his per-
sonal or business integrity. The article
was written under misapprehension as to
the facts in the case, and we regret its
publication in the Sun, as doing grave in
justice to a gentleman whose character is
above reproach"
The foregoing published apology and re-
traction follows the publication of an edi-
torial In the Sun two years ago, intended
as a serious reflection on the Associated
Press and its management. The gist of the
article was that the Associated Press
would inevitably fail in it's purpose as a
news organization, owing to the supposed
disclosures thus made. The statements
and predictions therein made have since
been entirely dsproven by the inexora BILE
law OF time, as in the meantime the prin-
cipies of that news Organization have
triumphed, and have received the approval
OF nearly every daily newspaper in the
United States
In the Sur editoriaf Mr. Frank B. Moves.
one of the owners of The Washington Star.
and director of the Associated Press was
singled out for personal attack, without
any apparent motive other than malice 1t
was at least so held by the grand jury of
TRSfr tot 90
indictments for criminal libel against M.
charles A. Dana and Nj William NJ Laf-
FAM who were charged With originating and
publishing the libel. A.wrIt was issued by
the United States marshal for the Dis
trict of Columbia for the~arrest of the in
dicted men at New York city, and for
their deportation to Washington for trial.
This proposed action was contested. under
the habeas corpus act, and after hearing
before the United States circuit Judge at
New York city, the latter refused to ex-
tradite them but held. at the same time,
that they would be subject to trial if found
In the District of Columbia.
AS soon this ruling was given. Mr..
Noyes. through his counsei, General Wager
swayne. instituted an aetipn for ibel in
the United States circuit court at New
York city. The testimony was pre-
pared and the, case was to have
come on for trial IDS >week, but t,he
Sun offered instead Of going into
court. to publish. an adequate rstraction
and also to. pay all costs Of litigation.
which it has done, and the above. pub
lished card follows.s The criminal indict-
ments at Washington were quashed yes
terday.
This closes what has proven in some
respects the most remarkable and widely
discussed newspaper litigation Of recent
years.

THE CIVIL SERVICE LAW.
Mir. GrOsvenOr's Bill In Regard to It's
Construction.


Mr.. Grosvenor has introduced a bill in
the House providing that the civil service
law shall not be construed to embrace
any of the employees of the government
printing office or in the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing, nor to embrace any per-
son merely employed as laborer or work
man, nor shall 1t allow the appointment
to office or promotion in Office of any per-
son who has not passed competitive eX-
animation or is shown to be exempted from
such examination. All appointments to Of
flee in theSseveral branches of the classified
service, which have been made since
March 4, 1893, without competitive ex-
animation on the part CT those SO appoint
ed, or unless 1t appears that such appoint
ments are specially exempted from such
CON petitive examinations, are declared to
be Illegal and contrary to the true intent
and spirit of the civil service law.
The bill further provides that all per-
sons now in the classified public service,
who have been appointed since March 4,
1895, and who were not prior to their said
appointment in the classified service un-
der the civil service law, shall within nine
pear before the proper board of civil serv-
ice examiners for competitive examine
tions. Said examination, however. shall not
give to them any preference over other
citizens duly qualified for entry into the
several classes of the public service, but
they shall stand upon equal footing in all
respects as to said competitive examina-
ton as though they had never been ap-
pointed to the places.

LEW HoRNpEcK,s AMBITION

Lew Hornbeek, OF the Minco Minis
trel, tells of his ore ambition in this
wise;
"Our ambition is limited 10 the one
desire Of taking prominent part in
the making Of the state constitution.
The hallucination OF holding office
never affects our vision nor haunts our
innocent dreams No man can get
Office without perjury nor hold one
without sacrificing his manhood. To
get the Office he must make promises
that his soul abhors and conscience
repudiates, and stand in with 9th er
thieves an I enter into deals that would
shame the devil
he must sell his soul and give a
mortgage on mis- brains. He must as
sutne all virtue and practice all vice.
Proclaim manhood and truekle like a
yaller dog. Preach patriotism and
love OF country and betraY every in
terest that his bondsmen will allow.
Display the wings OF an angel to the
public and crawl on his belly in the
slime like an alligator. Drink with
the reveler and pray with the saint.
Feel ashamed to look his children in
the face, and finally be kicked aside
because he can render no further as
sistance to the ring OF thieves always
in power. No; it costs too much to
hold political office
However, we would like to help
make the constitution OF sovereign
state for this land, and to so frame II
as to peDitentiary every fraud and
scandal monRer and to break the neck
OF every perjurer and boodler, We
would make it criminal offense to
solicit suffrage by promise, and i'm
prisonment for life to take or give
political bribes. But the gang that
rules, from president to deputy mar
shall, and all the namby pamby
slobbering patriots who expect favor'
from them, would combine to keep vi
from even being a member Of the con-
stitutional convention. That's poll
tics; and that is why we are not q
politician"
