The great popularity of Lion Coffee

Tuesday noon by Luther Baer, aged
twenty years. All the parties are
from Hagerstown. Jones lies in a
critical condition, with the bullet still

that they threw beer bottles. Others
say they quarreled over a young lady
of Waynesboro, with whom both were

AFTER many announcements pre-
maturely hoped for by hungry Office
seekers, President Mckinley on Mon
day issued his long-looked-for amend
ments to the civil service rules, and
about 1000 positions that have been in
the classified service were taken there
from and placed at the mercy Of the
spoilsmen. The places removed from
the civil service are chiefly these; Dep
uty collectors internal revenue; pen
sion examining surgeons; deputy mar
shals; storekeepers and gaugers tempo
rarily employed; certain private Sec
retaries special agents in certain de-
partments. Compared with the many
thousands of places still under civil
service, this list is not a large one, but
it will be a sop to the spoilsmen for
which they will be very thankful. The
President has been very severely crit
icised by the civil service reformers
for his action, which they charge is a
direct violation of his pledges and the
platform upon which he was elected
In our opinion he has done the sensi-
bic thing, for most Of these places
ought not to have civil service protec-
ton, either from business view or a
political standpoint. AS matter Of
fact, nearly all Of them are filled by
members of the dominant party, and
they ought to be.

A man who has once breathed the
nure patriotic air of Republicanism,
finds il living death in the rank; SUI
fling air of MISUNDERSTANDING
Herald.
WELL, well 1t is only two years
since Editor Pitzer came frop the pure,
patriotic air of rock-ribbed Republic
anism in Berkeley county to the rank,
sitting air of Democracy in Shepherds
town and enjoyed himself fairly well.
1t may be that our pretty girls placed
spell on him, but certain it Is that
before he had been here two hours the
Democratic air had affected him most
favorably, and he was more happily
witty and eloquent than we had ever
before known him to be. And so IN
spired was he by his good Democratic
company that he went out OF his way
to repudiate a part Of the Republican
platform. Though he didn't make
full confession of his past errors, nor
did he openly espouse Democratic
principles, he undoubtly felt the strlv-
ings of the Jefersonian spirit, and
boldly said he was a gold bug with
silver wings. 1t pains us to reflect
that he has in so short time become
a backslider-and such an unregener-
ate one at that.
What Mr.. Pitzer needs is another
visit to Jefferson county.

All that is mortal of the brave men who

is again on American soil and the bodies
of the unidentified dead will be reinterred
in Arlington on Thursday. II is a sad
homecoming especially for those who were
kin to the honored dead.
But as this is a season for thoughtful
sentiment. the obsequies over the men OF
the Maine may carry a most impressive
lesson to an observing nation. This incl
dent may. through certain suggestive as
sociation of ideas. teach an appreciation OF
the sturdy efforts being made on distant
battlefelds to combat an insurrection
which draws its very breath of life from
a contemplate and mauilin sentiment
bearing the earmarks of disloyalty, if not
Of treason.

ton, pierced through the heart by rebel
bullet and the long list of casualties that
might have been much shorter if patriot
ism were more in fashion in certain To-
calities.

BANK CIRCULATION GROWING.
The Fact Disclosed During the Re-
cent Money StrinEency.

A slight tendency toward the increase of
national bank note circulation has been
disclosed during the last few months of
intense stringency. The bonds on deposit
to secure circulation have risen since the
1st OF July about 81, 300, 900, and the total
circulation has increased about s., ,000, GOO.
1t has been slow process. and the entire
amount gained in nearly six months is less
than the amount OF money poured into the
money market by the Treasury In antici-
patton Of interest on the per cent bonds
for single quarter.
The total circulation before the issue Of
the per cent loans for the Spanish war
touched the minimum OF the last three
years on April 1, 1898. when the amount
was 1924. .39s, ,019.- There was a net increase
of about $19, 600. 900 as the result OF the war
loan, up to January l. 1899. The circuia-
tion then took a downward course until
July. when the amount was $241 ,26S, ,69S.
The amount of per cent bonds deposited
to secure circulation was more than twice
as large as the net increase. but the new
bonds were simply substituted for old
classes upon which the circulation was
much less profitable.
The net circulation remained almost sta
tionary for several months. but finally
gained about $4,000. 600 at the beginning Of
October, when the exact amount was $243.
2e0. 12S. The amount on Saturday last had
risen to s245. .223 .313, representing gain
Of about s.. GOO. 0G0 In three months.
The bonds on deposit TO secure circula-
tion were 1929, ,sSs, 40 on July l. when they
touched minimum, and $233 49,, ,010 on
Saturday last The movement of circula-
tion is retarded to some extent by the old
law, prohibiting an increase TO banks which
have within six months reduced their cir
culation.
Several of the bills introduced in Con-
gress TO reform the banking system have
proposed to repeal this law. among them
the comprehensive bill introduced by Mr..
Hill of Connecticut, and reported to the
House at the last session. Such prOvis-
ion is not made in either of the gold stand
ard bills now pending, but Comptroller
Dawes will probably suggest action on the
subject by the Senate bill.
