The Times-Hcrald displays such zeal
in lying that it must have reached the
point at which it requires another sub
sidy to prevent its political principles
from notifying.
We are willing to allow the Chicago
Times-Herald to lie. An administration
organ has need to lie. a hired one has
double need to lie since IT must earn
its wages. But we are not willing
to allow a graduated Ilc pedler to lie

willing to allow a person who exposes
his opinions for n price on an editorial
counter like so many fiy-blown cookies.

TIE END or A CHAPTER.

W hen some months ago Shdl -HcHoidS
of Russia solemnly called upon the pow
ers to meet together anu
agree tc t,lsarm, to beat the sword ana
bayonet into pillow share and pruning
hook, the soldier into a husbandman are
the general into a glorious ornament,
there was a commotion. Mr.. Rudyard
Kipling put forth his famous "Truce OF
the Bear as warming to the too con-
fding. all the various women's con-
crosses emitted hallelujahs i'll varying de
grees of glad kysteria, the pulpit turned
from texts about shifting the Midianitcs
to peace OH earth, and sundry anliablc
gentlemen with benign countenanccs
essays for the newspapers and period
icals. The world had Il regular nerve
tingling brother4hood-of-m time of IT..
accompanied by an unreasonable deal
of slops. Anything more martial than 4
white dove with its nails pared was
henceforth tc be tabooed in the council
In due time the powers obeyed the
summons of the Gar and met together
through their representatives. They met
and met again and the more they met
the less the white dove got into the pro-
ceedings First all thought of reducing
armanlsnrs was abandoned; then the plan
f,,r hn, IL
the scheme for a permanent arbitration
court met a thorough emasculation; peo-
pie lost interest i'll the peace conference
and tho hystcria subsidized and the es-'
says disappeared from the periodicals ANA
the texts were changed again. 1t really
looked rs if the horrid old world would
go on much as it had been doing here
tofore.
But ali this was wrong and premature
THE conference has Mt last justified It's
being and made us all its grateful bene-
ficiarieS. 1t did NOT abolish war or any
thing of that sort-it sat down on the
dum-dum Lullet. Henceforth, it has de-
creed, nothing more serious IMAM the Dui-
let that puts ont ''hors du combat is TO
be employed. at least the dum-dum need
not apply. 1t is true that there are Other
kinds of bullets that describe the path
of West Indian cyclone i'll perforatlng
the person. and explode at the end of the
third or fourth lap, and these are per-
mitted: but the dum-dum must go. The
dispatch that brings these joyous It'd
ings fipishes: THE labors of the con-
ference are now concluded" &c. And
so ends the chapter. The conference
did not quite come up to the prospectus;
but it squelched the dum-dum. And
Russia wants more guns and armor

PROBING A JAMAICAN MYSTERY.
Tardy Efforts to Trace the Murderer of
Bert Archer. an American.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press)
Kingston, Jamaica, May pa year or
two ago an American named Bert Hard
ing Archer came 10 Jamaica. He was a
capitalist in a small way. and went in for
banana cultivation. purchasing a property
in the parish of Portland known as Eden
Vale.
II was an out-of-the-way place, but
Archer managed TO get into a fair way OF
success. Suddenly. in the early part OF
last year. he disappeared. Within a week
his body was found in a lonely part OF the
woods. He had been shot. but under what
conditions there was no evidence TO show.
The local police secured a verdict of
suicide, and there the matter rested, de-
spite the efforts of Archer's friends to
prove that the suicide theory was untena-
BILE and that he must have met his death
by foul play. The police declined to make
an investigation unless some one be defn-
itely accused of the murder.
After a lapse of more than a year The
authorities are now Offering by placards
posted through the parish a reward cf
80 for information relative to the murder
of Bert Harding Archer. II is believed
that inquiries from Washington have
made the police take this belated action.

The changes in the civil service reguIa-
tiOns. which have been in contemplation
by President Mckinley for more than a
year, were made known yesterday in an
order issued by the President. The new
order eXcepts from the classified service
about 1900 places, including deputy COL
iecters of internal revenue, deputy United
States marshals, private secretaries, and
confidential clerks. The statement in re-
gard TO the order given out al the White
House says:
''At the time of the issuance of the civil
service order in 1896 bringing into the
classified service practically the whole of
the executive civil service not Heretofore
classified. there was quite a widespread
feeling that the order had gone too far
and covered many places that it would be
found impractiCable to deal with under
the civil service rules. The experience of
the last three years has shown this feel
ing 10 have been well-fOunded. The efforts
TO enforce the civil service rules in con-
nection with many of these places has re-
suited in much friction and embarrassing
and irritating delays harmful TO the serv-
ice.
I'm order as far as possible and neces-
sary to remove these causes OF friction
and delay, and to promote efficient
and harmonious administration. certain
amendments 10 the civil service rules
have been thought to be necessary and
such amendments have been for some
time in contemplation. Their formulation
and PRONUNCIATION have, however, been
delayed, partly by the war ana partly in
the belief that the additional experience
that delay would give would indicate
tla 1menHnApfC
that were most necessary.
To Meet New Conditions.
"a few of the amendments have TO
reference to the extension of the classif-
cation made IN 1886. and are such as are
necessary TO meet the new conditions
that are constantly arising in the public
service.
Some places, specifically enumerated in
Rule VI, have been taken from the COM
petitive class and placed in the class ex-
cepted from examination.
"Other places in various branches of
the service have been removed from the
operation of the rules, but not from the
classification These places are enumer-
ated in Rule III. Among them are those
of pension examining surgeons, Indians
employed in the Indian service not con-
nected with the Indian school service,
and many places in the Engineer Depart
ment at large, the Quartermaster's De-
partment at. large, the Subsistence De
partment al large, and the Ordnance De
partment at large, Of the War Depart
ment.
with reference to those in the outside
War Department service IT is provided
that they shall be subject to regulations
to be prescribed by the Secretary of War
and approved by the President. thus plac-
ing these branches Of the service on sub
stantially the same basis as the navy
yard service.
"An Of the amendments have for their
main object a. more uniform, efficient,
and satisfactory administration OF the
system OF appointments established BY
the civil service law"

his life and relations with Gambetta,
with whom, he said, he had a com
munion of ideas" NJ. DerOuede said that
when NJ Gambetta disappeared, he Ohe

NJ. DerOuleGe then aTraigned the con-
stitution and the budget of defense, say
ing it was increasing daily, and that
France was approaching a deficit. He
also attacked the budget of public works,
saying the number of civil servants was
increasing necessarily.
Derouede then eulOgiZed the work of
the French explorers. Marchand Monteil,
and Binger, and attacked President Lou

manding a plebisciary republic, asserting
at the same time that he never intended
TO turn the soldiers from their duty, but
only wished TO carry Gen. Roget with
him.
When DerOulede concluded he was
loudly acclaimed by the audience.
A violent alteration ensued later be-
tween the Judge and counsel for the de-
fense, on question of order. 1t was set
