is a mental wreck, and was last week

From the day he entered the revenue

down Stalnakers life was one con-
tinuous line of narrow escapes, long
dangerous risks, daring exploits and
important arrests, and no man in the
service has record equal to his. The
cause of his dementia is reported to
have been overwork and exposure.

VESUVIUS TESTED
Drops Packages of Gun Cotton
on Spanish Forts.

The Vesuvius has been tested. At
midnight Tuesday, the order to fire
was given and Lieut.. Quimby opened
the air vent.
There was slight Kissing, a sort of
caughing noise, but no flame, no report,
no warning to the Spaniards who we're
hiding in the darkness. Thirty sec
onds later dull roar broke the silence
of the tropical night. Two hundred
pounds of gun cotton had exploded on
the hillside below the battery.
The ships on the blockade lines two
miles away shook with the explosion.
The firing of thirteeen inch shell is a
mere rifle crack compared to the deep
and mighty roar. Another package of
gun cotton was dropped on the other
side of the battery and may possibly
haye struct the torpedo boats anchored
below. Before the echoes of the sec
ond died away, the Vesuvius sent a
third charge kissing out. 1t fell right
on the brow of the hill where the bat
terry seemed to lie, and into the air flew
tons of earth and the smoke covered
the land for halt mile.

Some OF the French papers beg to as

lean people are not to be taken seriously.
The angry gibbering of the. idiot is not
to be taken seriously, but it does not
contribute to ones pleasure to listen to
it.-Toledo Courier.
Quite right you are brother Courier.
We never could comprehend how peo-
pie could do so much blowing and mean
so little, as the French now claim.
They seem to want Americans to think
their talk is all in fun, and want the
Spaniards to think its all serious. TIC
say the least their game is that of hypo-
critics.

All people have a right to their per-

eut candidates who may come up for
favors in State and Congressional poll
tics, but tbatpersonal preference should
not be so strong as to lead any man

citizens, and particularly Republicans,
should faithfully stand by and uphold
the Administration. We may not
agree with the Administrator that all
things being done are as we would do
them ourselves, but the present is not
the proper time to criticise too severely.
Let the Republicans remain true to
their principles and their party admin
istration and let results prove if those
in authority are worthy of praise or
condemnation. If every Republican
proves himself to be true, the party
will not be far from right.

Just as soon as President Mckinley
can get the time he will issue an order,
in accordance with an elaborate opinion
prepared by Attorney General Griggs,
declaring that the Government Print
ing Office never was legally under the
civil service rules, because 1t belongs
under the Legislative, and not the exec
utive branch of the government. The
same opinion has operated to put an end
to the movement for the placing Of the
Congressional Library under the civil
service rules. because the Library, like
the Government Printing Office, is a
Congressional institution. There are

Mr.. Southard is authority for the
statement that the United States civil
service is to be very materially modified
by congress. While ultimate action
cannot be clearly outlined at this time
it is understood to have been practically
agreed to take everything out OF the
civil service, with the possible excep-
tion of the mail carriers and postal
clerks, where the salaries are 81, 900 or
over. This reduces the whole thing to
the farce order and it will be only a
question OF time when civil service in
its entirety will be a thing of the past.
