The Death of rlrs. Burns.

After suffering intensely for over
four month, Mrs. Emma J. Burns
passed away Sunday afternoon,
April 90, 1899. She was the be-
loved wife Of ex-sheriff c. w. Burns

The deceased lady had resided in
Mountain Home Is years, and was
well and favorably known for her
sterling qualities and generous,
friendly disposition. She was born

moved to Mountain Home when
a young lady, where she has since
resided Besides two sisters, an
aged and devoted mother and
loving husband, she leaves two
Children girl and boy, to mourn
her absence.
The funeral services were held at
the family residence at o'clock
Monday afternoon, the attendance
being unusually large. In the alb

Il. l.. Weston of Canton, Mass,
read the services in very impress
sive manner, being assisted by
quartette composed Of Mrs. E. G.
Helfrich, Mr.. and Mrs j NJ. Cowen
and II G. Madison, who rendered
several very pretty sacred selections.
The remains were inferred in the

impulses of charity for suffering
humanity.

Attempt to MisIead the Public.

The Gold Bug Republican, in it's
last issue, makes grand display of
its ignorance by trying to mislead
the people in its article headed "a
Cowardly Action" and in many
ways it contradicts its own asser-
tons. The question before the
court now and which the people are
interested is, whether the qualifi-
cations of the present county SUI
perintendent of schools made her
eligible to the Office at the time of
the last election? And as the same
is now in court we will not eX
press our opinion, as the "incuba-
tor" organ has done, what the hon
orable court should do. We deny
that any fight is being made upon
the party holding the office other
than stated, and it can not be
proven. Regarding the statement
as to Miss Lodge trying to obtain a
first grade certificate cuts no figure
in this case, as the examination was
not held by the ex-otficio superin-
tendent of schools until three weeks
after the election--so that had the
lady passed the examination it
would not have changed the case as
it stands in court.
The living and misleading state
ments published in the "incubator"
organ was done solely for the pur-
pose of creating sympathy rather
than stand upon the merits of the
question, and the reference made to
the changing of the answers to
questions which were submitted to
the present school superintendent
at her examination after the cleo
ton, shows the contemplate eur
who wrote the article in his true
light, in making a general charge
and specifying no one, for fear he
would be made to prove the charge.
The parties connected in the grad
ing of the questions as answered by
the failing candidate, are all OF
good moral standing, with the con-
fidence of all in their honest mo-
tives, and they are ready and will
ing to face their accusers. But not
so with these character assassins
who control the "incubator" organ
Filipino like, they remain in am.
bush and fire their weapons under
cover, afraid to be seen, fearing
that their damnable methods would
soon be discovered and thus ex
posed to meet their fate.

Senator-elect William A. Clark, OF

istic of the money king, who is build

avenue, New York, Ii illustrated In the
method he adopts of crossing the At

For the protection of his princely for
tune and the prevention of legal en-
tanglements, to insure the succession
properly TO his millions, and to guard
against the possible loss by shipwreck
OF more than one member of his family
the senator decided that only one Clark
should cross on the same vessel.
Four members of the family of the
Montana man have set sail for Europe
within the month. Every one travelled
on a different ship. This avoidance OF
the risk of.an entire family perishing
at the same time is also said TO be OBJ
served by the Rothschilds, while the
late Jesse Seligman and his brother
the bankers of New York city, never
rode together on the same elevated
train.

commission in making appointments,
because the congress did not acknowl-
edge the commission. Therefore 1 shall
make all of the appointments upon my
own responsibility, just as the congress
intended 1 should do"
So you see, that, although the con-
gress ignored the civil service commits
sion, after a long struggle in both the
senate and house of representatives, the
civil service commissioners carried the
fight right into the census Office itself,
but without avail. Because of this state
of affairs, the statement was made at
the beginning of this letter that, al
though the civil service law remains
untarnished, the politicians have come
out ahead in the wrangle.
The fruits of this condition are al
ready apparent. One of the older con-
gressmen to-day said: "While don't
believe in the civil service law, must
acknowledge that it has afforded me
much protection. Heretofore / have
been able to reply to Office seekers that
l could not secure appointments for
them, on account of that law, and 1t
was accepted as good excuse. Now,
however, they are all after me for ap-
pointments. Those who receive my rec
ommendation and are appointed will
be my most helpful politicians at home;
but those who do not receive appoint
ments will blame me, and become my
enemies and opponents for all time.
Every congressman is now suffering
from this complicated condition of af-
fairs"
Strange as it may appear, the office
seekers would invade the white house,
if they dared to do SO. Hundreds of
letters of application for appointment
have been sent direct to President Nc
Kinley by men from various parts of
the country, who know him, and believe
that they are entitled to official recog-
milton for services rendered in securing
his nomination and election. 1t may
be said to all such that they need not
blame Mckinley for not appointing
them forthwith, because the president
never sees their letters.
There Is only one sure way of getting
onto the pay roll of the census office,
and it may be good thing for the Office
seekers to have this pointer. If you
can get both the senators from your
state and the representative of your
congressional district to go to the di-
rector personally and ask your appoint
ment, you may prove to be successful
! If you have not and cannot get this
amount of political influence, you may
as we'll go about your ordinary voca-
tions, and lose no time and no sleep
chasing an ignis fatuus of this char
acter. SMITH ID. FRY
Marietta daily leader. (Marietta, Ohio) 1895-1906, 1899-04-09

OF course, when the census shall have
been taken, the census Office must be
abolished.
On March 3, 1899, just "a hours be-
fore the adjoucnment of congress,
the president sent to the senate the
nomination Of William II. MerrianA Of
Minnesota, to be director Of the CEN
sus; and the nomination was promptly
confirmed. On March 4 the presi-
dent issued commission to Mer-
am, and he at once assumed the
Office. An assistant director and a
chief clerk were appointed, and Dt-
rector Merriam went to Minnesota to
close up his private business affairs, In
order that he might be able to devote
all of his talents and energies to the
duties of the office.
This official was once governor OF
Minnesota, and has long been promi-
nent in state affairs, but he was not
known as national character until
the president appointed him to the po-
sition which he pow holds. After an
absence of three weeks he returned to
Washington and found the trails OF the
spoilsmen all over his new Office.
There were almost 1000 applications
for appointment; and he only intends
to appoint about 200 clerks during the
/ first six months. He is now engaged
/ in the work of wedding out the prob
able incompetents and selecting those
who are likely to prove capable OF rem
dering efficient service. Applications
| for appointment are coming in daily;
and it is estimated that he will have
about 10000 applications on file before
the close of this year. Altogether,
there will not be more than 1900 ap-
pointments made for service in this
city. The others will be appointed to
do local work in the cities, counties and
congressional districts of the several
states, all of them near their own
| homes.
Although congress purposely ignored
the civil service commission, the
president of that body undertook to
induce Director Merriam to select
civil service board to aid him In Sc
lecting men and women for the various
positions. Director Merriam recently
said: "While am not spokesman, and
while 1 believe in the civil selsice law,
cannot acknowledge the civil service
