PRESS COMMENT.
AS TO CIVIL SERVICE.

New York Times.
OF the two records, it seems to US that
that of Tammany is in some regards less
odious than that of the administration at
Washington, because it is less hypocrit-
icai. Tammany does not pretend that it
believes in the merit system or that 1t
will not take all the spoils it can lay its
hands on. Mr.. Mckinley and the party of
which he is the head are bound by the
strictest pledges to the merit system
They brag that 1t is their work. They
have declared that in their hands it shall
always be advanced a-.d that it shall
never be allowed to take "a step back
ward" Their action has been quite as
bad as that of the Tammany officials,
with a little lying thrown in, which does
not improve it.

IMPORTANT DECISION.

Philadelphia Record.
Promlssory notes herefter given TO cover
margins in speculative operations cannot
be sued for and collected by law in Iowa
under the terms of a recent Supreme
Court decision in that State. Speculation
on margins, says the Court, is gambling:
and debts thus contracted cannot be en-
forced at law" What is good law in
Iowa IS good law elsewhere, no doubt:
but the speculative habit takes no note of
legal status when profits and losses are
in question. If notes be uncollectible,
when given to secure margins, why, mar
gins must be put up in cash. That is all

Hon. Noah H. Swayne, of Lucas
county, is being favorably discussed for
the gubernatorial nomination on the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Swayne is a
strong man and a general favorite
among all classes of Ohio Republicans
outside of the Hanna-Foraker, Kurtz
and Cox henchmen. But the bosses are
running the Republican machine in
Ohio and such high class timber as
Swayne is not wanted.

EVANGELIST JONES, SLANG.

Some people are still finding fault
with Sam Jones slang. Slang is not
particularly nice at any time and is
often very Objectionable, but there are
worse things than the slang of Evange-
list Jones. He thus rebukes his crit
ics
Some people object to my slang 1
never yet saw a man that got drunk on
it. Don't jump on slang. Jump on the
stuff that has made many a man kill his
in my slang. Not man lost any money
on my slang and many of you lost all
you had at the races and would have
walked home if you had not had a round
trip ticket: None of you went broke on
my slang

RESTS WITH THREE COUNTRIES.

st. Paul Globe
Whatever may be said of the purpose of
the Gar and his advisers in calling the
peace conference together, it is beyond
all discussion that if England, Russia and
the United States are united in the con-
ference for peace peace will inevitably
follow. In any event the position for our
representatives to take is quite clear. We
must declare unequivocally and strenu-
ously for the adoption of the principle
of arbitration of international disputes.

Another example of American ability
to do things in the iron and steel line
comes from London. The Brumah
Railway Company invited tenders for
building viaduct, and received four
proposals, two from England and two
from America. The lowest English bid
was s5S0,0o0. and three years time was
asked in which to complete the work.
One responsible American firm offered
to fulfill the contract for $500, 900. and
to have the work completed in one
year.

REAL AMERICAN EXPANSION.
Detroit Free Press.

Detroit Free Press.
In the face of the signal progress which
our manufacturers are making in the in
dustrial conquest of the earth. relying
solely upon Their skill and enterprise it
is nonsense to say that trade follows the
flag. AMERICAS true expansion is TO ac-
compiished, not with battle-ships and ar
mics, but with factories and sabor-saving
machinery; her genuine imperialism is
to be worked out not in the blood of her
valiant soldiers. but in the sweat of her
intelligent toilers.

REMOVE THE CAUSE.
Dallas News.

Dallas News
Legislation against trusts should be
general and grows dangerous as soon as it
becomes special. The best of all legis-
lation on this line win be found in the
end in acts repeating laws now in exist
ence out of which the trusts have grown
and without which they cannot thrive or
live. To cure the trust remove the
cause. 1t is more freedom and not more
restraint which the people need in order
to enable them to defend and sustain
themselves.

TO MUCH POLITICS.

Pittsburg Post.
The administration pitters and talks and
feeds the people on prepared and censored
news. 1t is more intent on the energetic
prosecution of politics than the energetic
prosecution of war. If not. why are there
not 10000 more soldiers on Their way to
the Philippines for which express author
ity was given the Aiger outfit by Con-
gress? If that had been done the volun-
teers would have been on their way home.

WHAT Is WANTED.

Minneapolis Times.
If Quay dictation is what the people of
Pennsylvania want, certainly they ought
to have it, and if it is not what they
want they have had a fair chance to de-
clare themselves. They have had the
great boss as a target for the reform
element for many years and by criminal
prosecution, by political assault under
able leadership, his enemies have tried
in vain to dislodge him. Therefore it is
fair TO presume that Quayism is exactly
what the people of Pennsylvania desire

EXTRA SESSION is UNLIKELY.

Washington, May ia member of
the administration who is in a position
to know the views of the President on
the subject said to-day that the proba-
bilities were against an extra session
of Congress being called. He thought
that the President had given the sub
ject some thought. but he was reason
ably sure that no call would be issued
except in some unlooked-for contin-
gency which would make it necessary.

CRIME AGAINST THE VOLUNTEERS.

Kansas City Times.
1t is not surprising that the effective force
of the regiments serving in the Luzon
climate should be not much if any more
than one-half of their numerical strength
as represented by the muster rolls. When
it is remembered that the term for which
the volunteers enlisted expired some time
ago and that they are held in service
without the slightest constitutional au-
thority, they should havethe sympathy Of
the entire country. Il is crime against
the spirit of our institutions 10 wage a
war for territorial conquest, but It is
something worse than that 10 force men
to participate in such erusades

OIL NEWS.

McDermott & Co. have a 500 barrel
producer on the Eddy farm. When the
drill first reached the sand it began
to put out oil at the rate of $40 barrels.
As the drill went deeper the produc-
ton increased, and to-day it is doing
five hundred. This makes the pro-
duction from this one farm about
twenty-five hundred barrels a day. But
one dry hole has been found on it.

RosEBERY's PECULIAR ATTITUDE.

Springfield CMass) Republican.
Lord Rosebery, after a notable career
as a turfman now warns the heart of
nonconform.st England, by condemning
Sunday newspapers. In this country there
would be a general laugh if the man
whose horse had won the Suburban
should suddenly denounce the Sunday
press. Were he also politician sometime
in retirement there would be no doubt
as to his intention to soon re-enter the
political arena.
