The great European powers, Eng
land. France, Germany and Italy, have
eut the continent of Africa up into
pieces and each taken share. Moth
ing like it was ever accomplished with
so little noise in the history of the
world. China is now the victim they
are all looking toward with covetous
ewes. The scramble is just beginning
and it looks today as though
before one year goes by ey-
cry great European power will
demand a slice off from the celes-
tial empire. Unless the thieves fall
out there is no power that can save the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of China.

The story may or may not be true
that England refuses to interfere with
Germany's free hand in China on the
condition that Germany does not
coerce England in Egypt, but 1t is
reflection on the position of England
that such a story should even be told.
Time was when England was not sus-
pected capable Of such trades and
agreements. England in an earlier age
would have asked neither advice. as
sistance nor liberation in holding
Egypt. There is nothing more remark
able in modern history than the self
abandonment of Great Britain OF the
position of a first-class power.

PERNICIOUS ACTIVITY.
Civil Service Commission
Warns It's Subordinates
Against 1t.

WASHINGTON, Oct. q, 1S9S.@The Civil
Service Commission has issued a circu,ar
which is being sent to thelmenbers of the
700 Boards of Examiners. throughout the
country on the Political activity of Fed
eral officers and employees" 1t calls at
tention to the extracts from the exeeu-
tive Instructions Of July IA, 1886, which,
the circular says. are still in force,f and
which are republished for the Information
and guidance Of all officers and employees
in the executive civil service. The Cir
cular then says
THE Postmaster General, in a letter
dated August 5, 1898, stated hat the order
Of the President above quoted had been
either revoked or modified.
Those who enter the classified civil
service upon the ground Of ascertained
merit. as established by the civil service
rules and are protected therein, should
be quick to recognize the reciprocal obli-
cations thereby imposed and avoid any
action which now or at any future time
could reasonably be subject to adverse
political criticisms.
THE Commission believes that the best
interests of the service will be promoted
by the non-particfpation of all member
of its Board of Examiners in political
conventions or in the work of political
committees.
while attendance at a political con
ventien as a delegate or membership upon
a political committee is not in itself a
violation of the civil service rules, the
Commission holds that all partisan ac-
tivity, il sufficient to impair usefulness
as a representative of the Civil Service
Commission, is sufficient cause of re-
rnoval from membership on any Of its
Board of Examiners.
Section 2 of The Civil Service Act of
January Is, 1888, provides thai no person
IN the public service has any right to
use his official authority or influence to
eoerce the political action of any person

This paper IS Democratic IN principles
and is Independent in its vieaus on all local
question.s


The receptions which are accorded TO
Allan L. McDermott at his public appear
ances throughout the county are as graft
flying to all true Democrats as they must
be discomforting to the enemy. They
completely dispel the wicked fabrications
which the Republican press has been try
ing to disseminate. It is now a matter Of
demonstrated fact that Mr.. McDermott
is highly popular with the mass Of the
voters, who appreciate his courage, his
honor, his t~ranseendent ability and his
sterling Democracy.
Allan l.. McDermott is the lineal success
sor of Leon Albeit. The mantle of the
upon him. as the cloak of Elijah fell upoE
Elisha. He represents the principles of
personal liberty, of equal rights and equal
burdens for all classes of citizens, of lib
eral treatment of capital invested i'll our
State coupled with the responsibilities
which capital should justly bear for the
protection and privileges which the Stale
furnishes to it.
Mr.. McDermott fought side by side with
Albeit in the peoples cause, and fought
also. with manly devotion, to secure for
Leon Albeit the reward which his ser
vices to the State deserved. Now that ABB
bett is dead and beyond the reach Of
earthly strife or earthly reward, nothing
IS more fitting than that the voters Of the
party, which he SO unfailingly led to vic
tory, should range themselves under the
banner Of his great Lieutenant, and fight
the same old battles, for the same old
cause. with the same old strenuousness
Mr.. McDermott is nothing if not COM
bative. When he is elected 10 the Senate,
the dry bones OF effete Republicanism viii
have a rafting time of it. No hypocrisy
will serve to impose on him. He knows a
thing OF two. No guile viii impose on
him. He cannot be cajoled or wheedled or
deceived or bulldozed. The Democracy
will have a real leader in the Legislature
keen, aggressive and unyielding. Every
crooked Republican scheme viii be torn
to shreds, and the voice of d~enunciation
viii ring out from the Senate Chambe-
