Sis City papers, which is run daily two
hundred miles out into Kansas, the
excuse offered by the postmaster gener-

help the people of Kansas. One of these
papers, the Times. which belittles the
-Ickiuley administration daily, had Is
last Sunday edition hauled out as usual
by this special train. which edition was
devoted 10 blasting Kansas. 1t was fill
ed With sensational lies about hot winds

Johnny BULL PAVING.

The award 10 American bidders of the
contract for building the electric trac-
ton plant for the underground Central
railway Of London appears to have
caused the deepest Indignation among
the competing firms in that city. The
offending corporation explains that it
gave the contract TO Americans only
because the latter know more about
electrical construction and because they
build better locomotives, cars and ma
chinery than their English rivals, but
that excuse is more likely to aggravate
than to appease the wrath Of the unsuc-
cessful British bidders 1t is difficult
to see how the latter are going to retain
their business foothold in the British
Islands unless they can induce the gov
eminent to prevent American enter
prise from bidding for contracts any
where in rhe kingdom.

For Clerks TO Rea d.

Here are some maxims for clerks that
have studied out in long course Of bust
ness:
Never do today what you can shove off
on a fellow clerk tomorrow.
Keep at the back end of the store as much
as possible, SO that the others boys will
have TO wait on customers.
Always keep a novel under the counter TO
catch up when the old man IS out.
Keep your eye out for soft snap.
Don't do any more work than you are
paid 10 do.
Be the last one to come in the morning
and the first 10 leave at night
Don't do thing outside OF your prescrib-
ed duties.
Find fault with your place and salary.
Show up the weak points Of your establish
ment 10 the clerks of other houses.
Be as snappy with customers as you
dare.
Tell your fellow clerks all the things you
hear against the boss.
Threaten TO leave whenever fault is found
with you.
Believe that the world owes you a living
and act on that belief.
If the above rules are strictly followed
you will be out looking for job in about
thirty days from date.

Japan. speaking through the mouth Of
no idea of blowing the United States
navy sky high. nor of hlOckading San
Francisco. nor selling Vancouver. nor
snatciling California peninsula. Japan's
idea is that the relations between her
self and the United States ought 10 re-
main as they are, pacific. Count Ito
says: The Japanese are bound by sen
timent and sympathy to America from
the very beginning OF modern Japan
Ii is America that has given her every
mark of friendlineSS encouragement
and support. There = not n single Eu-
ropean country that has manifested
such a strong feeling for Japan as has

Among the Magazines.

Mr. Charles A. Conant of the New York
Journal OF Commerce contributes to the
American Monthly Review of Reviews for
August an admirable exposition of the new
tarin law His article e intended to tell
the business man what he may expect from
the operation Of the new schedules. So
mucn OF the newspaper discussion of the
Dinsiey bill has been warped by partisan
ship that the ordinary citizen is al a loss TO
know the real animus of the measure or its
probable bearings on individual and general
interests. Mr. Conant writes with moder
alton and candor; his article is calculated 10
enlighten the public on a topic that re-
quires first OF all impartaEty in treatment.
The Arena for August offers a long and

CIVIL SERVICE AS AN ISSUE.

The praise of an enemy is not an as
suring incident, neither ought it TO be
agreeable. President Mckinley must
hook askence at the fulsome and unanl-
NOUS commentator of the Democratic
press of his recent civil service ORDER
The civil service, as we have 1t at pres
ent, if we remember rightly, was origin
ally the hobby of Pendleton of Ohio, OF
Gentleman George, the Democrat, the
half-baked patriot Of war times who
was the malignant opponent and enemy
of the faithful Lincoln. The only presi-
dent to successfully bend civil service
10 party purposes was Cleveland, VINO
made his order with direct reference TO
n lift at the hands of the office-power,
when he should come to his hoped-for
resurrection in 1900. President Mckln-
ley's new order. while the reasonable
thing. if the rule is TO be that for the
future, vet it more strongly entrenches
Grover Cleveiand's army of eighty thou
sand Democrats whom he confirmed IN
their places. This civil service rule en-
forced as Carl SchurZ advocates, and
who. by the way, expects Mr.. Mchln-
ley to put him on the commission, VIII
rob every national campaign OF its en-
thusiasm and in the end of interest for
the average voter. PartiSanship, as we
know it, will be impossible. The IN

nothing in delegateships TO conyen-
tions which will be unsought- lndiyid-

claims of candidates will lapse, and
there will remain only the bare and dry

scare the Mckinley administration, at
least TO alarm the country to the end
that our minister to Madrid may move
conservatively. The average American
knows such talk to be all bosh. Gen
eral Lee is just as safe in Cuba as ne
would be at home. Weyler will see TO
it that at least one man is not the vic
tim of Spanish violence, and that man
is the United States consul general
Should any harm come to him through
Spanish fanaticism, Madrid rule would
cease in the Antilles within a fortnight.
There would be no Havana left to
speak of, nor any hiding place on the
island for Weyler. Harm to Lee would
be the shortest possible cut TO Cuban
independence.
