Legl macy belongs to all systems
where truth and justice prevail and it is
not dependent upon priority Or antiquity.
ity of the different systems have mistaken
its value. AS each element of European
civilization claims to have held supreme
control during the early days, it is safe to
conclude that more of them reigned
supreme. Feudalism reigned in the tenth
century and the monarchy prevailed in
childhood of all the systems. Men were
continually changing their condition. A
freeman might become vassal to some
noble for some consideration. Vassals
and slaves might regain their indie
pendence. The condition of the land
was as unsettled as of that persons. There
were benefces for term of years, bene-
fees for life, and hereditary benefces. 1t
was the period of transition from a
wandering migratory life to the condition
of settled homes. A monarchy might be
hereditary or elective. The election
might be open to all or confined to q
family.
States we're created, united, divided Oh

were spreading over the fallen Roman
Empire from the north, the Saracens
were pressing upon the southern border.

CIVIL SERVICE IN COLONIES.
Commissions Annual Report to Deal
With Tint Subject at Lenxth.

With That Subject at Length.
There will be two unique departures in
the forthcoming annual report of the civil
service commission, which will be pre-
scented to the president shortly after the
adjournment of congress. These will be
a. complete history of the civil service
from the beginning of this government and
a full discussion of the methods of gov
ming up the civil service history, the COM
mission makes the deduction that the
civil service law was enacted for the pur-
pose of carrying the government back to
what is termed the wise methods of the
founders of the republic, when merit and
not political partisan service was the
basis of consideration in the matter of
appointments and retention in Office in
the government service. =.
Reviewing the administration of colo
NAL affairs in the world, the commission
in it's report will state that the universal
experience shows that where the colonial
government is not affected by political
changes at home, the colonial government
is stable, economical, wise, and success
full generally, but that where the colonies
are affected by the political changes at
home, their governments are Unstable and
extravagant, and that in such colonies
occur most of the revolts that figure in
history, producing the high costs of mill
tary rule. The commissions report does
not specifically recommend an extension
of civil service over our recent acquisi-
tons, but the application Of these con-
illusions in the consideration of our insu-
lar affairs is left for deduction therefrom.

HAPPY!

His youthful years had withered in the Sum-.
Where he and his were bred,
He was a burden. and, though lips were dumb.
Hearts wished that he were dead.
And so wished he: for in his weared soul
There but one desire
To slip away, to reach strange, vague goal
Where time would cease to tire.
But on day some one with grave, sweet face,
And tender, skillful hands,
Came to his side, and bore him from the place.
1t seemed to far of lands.
Yet. after all. twas but wiring hour
Out Of the smoke-blind town
To where the sky shone with unblemished
power
Over a fair, broad down.
And he the cripple whose sad springs were
more
Than one who watched him knew,
Had never seen so much green grass BEFORE
Nor skies SO big and blue.
He was SO softly glad, 80 full Of peace
He laid HIM hack and sighed.
Z And watched sthe deep SKY and Fhoatins
Dreaming That he had died.

The editor of Locomotive Engineer
ing declares that in describing a rail-
road collision reporters make mis-
take when they say that ION seeing the
danger the engineer whistled clown
brakes reversed the lever, and
jumped off, The expression down
brakes" he says, has been obsolete for
two generations. What an efficient en-
gineer really does when collision
seems impending is to shut off steam,
apply the air-brake, open the sand
valves, and jump. This takes about
five seconds, and in that time all that
human effort is able to accomplish for
the train and passengers may be done.
Railroad engineers are told never to
reverse the engine after the air-brake
has been applied, because the reversal
reduces the resisting power of the
brakes.

wheat across the ocean at $3.50 ton if
properly conducted. Japan and China
could use more wheat than the United
Suites could export There would be no
danger of getting too much. If that
market could be opened it would do more
to raise the price of wheat east of the

bushels shipped East. The d1fhculty OF
shipping wheat by the Eastern route
across the equator twice around the Horn
was discussed He wanted the govern
ment to pay a subsidy of $1.50 per ton
for Oriental shipments. This would cost
a million and a half and would raise the
value of the wheat product of the North
west $50, 00O,0 900. Newspapers took up his
measure and a bill was presented, but

younger, he stated, lie would attempt to
provide a remedy himself by putting u

Before the Civil war the different ports
of the United States were farther apart
