8 Per Cent Gold Bonds.

The last issue of u. S. Government Bonds bear
only per cent. interest, and yet command pre-
MUM over par. The Equitable Life Assurance
Society now offers policy convertible at matu-
rity into per cent. bonds practically as safe as
Government bonds, and in other respects better.
They are better than Government bonds because
they (I) are cheaper; (2) are paid for in install
ments; CD yield higher rate of interest and Cd
are protected by assurance
These bonds are called Gold Debentures, and
bear interest at the rate of per cent per annum
for twenty years Both principal and interest are
payable in Gold, and the promise to pay" is made
by the strongest life company in the World.

The "Jersey Colts" of Coudersport,
who would be better characterized in
civilized communities as Jersey Rob-
bers," "Potter Highwaymen" "Speak
Easy Brigands," or some other such
cognomen bespeaking the character of
well known Potter county chivalry,
came over last Saturday to play the
return game of ball, and to all intents
and purposes, to administer the same
dose our boys received from thier
filthy hands at Coudersport on the
previous Wednesday, when these day
light robbers conniyed with an

The Civil Service Order.

The Brooklyn Eagle, one of the
ablest Democratic papers in the coun-
try, comments as follows on President
McKinley's civil service order:
The merit system is right 1t is in
destructible. 1t has come to stay. Mir.
Cleveland extended it as a cover from
10000 offices to $4,000 offices He did
it as he was leaving office. Three
years have shown that the extension
was too wholesale. Mr.. Mckinley esti-
mates that it was too Wholesale by
about 5000 places, which he restored
to the voluntary system. His estimate
may itself be too large. 1t is possible
it may be too small.
The matter is one to be tested by
experience, just as Mr. Cleveland's
extension was. Experience should
constantly suggest changes in the
schedules, for such changes alone will
show that there is permanency in our
government. The proposition that
any changes, dictated by experience,
is an attack on the system makes the
system either a fetish that will be
overthrown as all fetishes are, or too
fragile a thing to be regarded as the
working part of an everyday govern
ment.
People should bear in mind that the
civil service reform system rests ON
rules made by the President. The
scrutiny of the system is intrusted to
the Civil Service Commissioners. The
rules are binding on all officials with
appointive powers. Congress has es-
tablished the system-not the rules
by law. 1t supports the system by
appropriations. Neither party organ
iZatiOn likes the system. The voting
of appropriations is due more to fear of
the best public opinion than to love Of
the system itself. Only as executives
have befriended the system has it
lasted or will it last But it will last
and its continuance is better insured
by those who sensibly realize it to be
an amendable system than by those
who hold it to be infexible, absolute
aud unchangable-for they would
create against it a partizan sentiment
that could either repeal the act or
starve the system to death by making
no appropriations to carry it on.

Rural Free Delivery of rlalls.

Tests made by number of dis
tricts of the rural free delivery of
mails have been, on the whole, SO
satisfactory that the proposal to
extend the act under which the
tests were instituted to the whole
country, is being seriously con-
sidered at Washington, says an
exchange. Some of the localities
in New England where careful
trials were made have given dis
appointing returns, but the reports
for the Middle, Southern and
Western States have been more
encouraging.
The latest report of the working
Of the system comes from the post
master at West Chester, Pa. The
rural free delivery service has been
in operation there for the past FIVE
months. In January there were
collected and delivered to the
farmers of that section 1,GO1
pieces of mail matter; during May
the figures were close to 40, 900
pieces. The carrier passing along
the main road, deposits the mail in
boxes set for that purpose or to
messengers who meet him at cross
roads, and thus the fain. RS are
saved the trouble of sending from
two to ten miles across the country
to the nearest pOstoifice.
In West Chester the farmers
have two mails per day, one in the
morning and one in the afternoon,
and this extra service costs them
practically nothing. So successful
has this system been at other points
that the Postoflice Department has
received many petitions to have
the rural delivery made at the
farm houses themselves. This
should be done if it is possible,
save in cases where the houses
stand back from the road. 1t
would mean the perfecting Of a
system that has already brought
good fruit.
