FOR LUCK.

Every year there is a new fetish for
the gamblers; this year it is in the
form of a gold plate on which Is is
placed. The number may be made in
diamonds or other precious stones, or
merely in frosted silver. according to
the means of the giver but in opposi-
ton to all former traditions, it is sup
posed to bring good luck at the tables
to whosoever wears it. This is quite
a revolution in superstiticns.-Lon

Ninety-three are enough, and he has 102

that his election win be SO generally CON-

other candidates will withdraw, and he

Speaking of the campaign Col. Hender

Prof Dean G. Worcester of the Philip
pine commission denies the statement
made by soldier of the Sd United States
Infantry that Filipino women and child.
rem were killed by the American soldiers
at Malabon. He says;
/ was personally present on the occas-
ion in question. The truth of the matter
is that Malabon was never bom barded
despite the fact that it was within easy
reach OF the fest and the field guns. The
town had been abandoned by the natives
before our approach, except for a lot of
sharpshooters who had positions in the
swamp on the outskirts. One Hotchkiss
and one 22inch gun were fred on
them. Our troops first moved to the
north without entering the town. The
day while trying 20 burn the place. No
women or children were killed; there
were none there to be killed.
Probably Investigation of the stories
told by soldiers is In regard to the shoot.
ing Of prisoners would prove them equally
unfeunded. Possibly some prisoners may
have been shot but inquiry would proba-
bly, show that they either had attempted
to escape or had been caught trying to
murdsrstheir captors We do not believe
the American soldier would wantonly
kill priseners In Gold bloc d., and 1t is in.
conceivable that American commanders

The attitude nf the Ohio Republican
State convention toward civil service re-
form Is calling out good deal Of con-
domination from the strongest and most
loyal Republican organs. And it is de-
served. II Chairman Kerr's reference 20
the subject in his speech meant anything
10 was that the Republicans had been
supporting a reform that they didsnot be-
lieye In and that their last pledge 10
maintain and extend 1t was piece OF
rank hypocrlsy--a promise never meant to
be kept The most virulent attacks on
the reform which have been made In
Congress have been made by Represen-
tatiye Grosvenor OF Ohio and the Ohio
convention appears to have backed him
mp. Speaking Of the conventions atti-
tude the New York Tribune says:
II come Of the Republicans Of Ohio
think they are serving the administration
BY their attitude on civil-service reform
and the new csvil-ssrivce order, they are
much mistaken. The speech of
Congressman Kerr, the temporary chair
man OF the Ohio state convention, is little
less than an assertion that the Republi.
can party and Republican Presidents,
from Arthur to Mckinley. have been
regularly guilty Of the most hypocritical
fraud. IL is all matter Of spirit.
II these notifications are made for good
reasons, not connected with politics, and
can be applied without opening the door
for the spotlsmen, they viii Justify them
selves, even IL they do violate our pre-
conceived opinions Of wise oivil-servicc
rules. But IL MIR. Kerr and his Ohio
friends have the correct view of the rules,
and they are the throwing down for
political reasons of the bars which Mr.
Cleveland put up then they are political
blunder and a moral wrong No matter
what motives actuated successive Presi-
dents in extending the rules, the rules as
extended brought about great improve
ment in the public service. The Republi-
can party and President Mckinley aocept-
ed what has been done, and promised sto
uphold 1t. They cannot brsak those
prom ises without discrediting themselves
with the people, and those who proclaim
the new order Of the Presidents a con-
cession to politics really represent. him las
breaking his promises. Yet they pretend
to be his closest and most devoted friends.
The notifications will be judged BY their
fruits. and If their first fruit is Aseason
of joy for the spoilsmen. there is too
much reason TO fear the final verdict will
be that the tree was bad. But perhaps

= Frank DE Loche of Bath who Is to
rig the new six .masted schooner to be
built at Beams yard in Camden, says
that it would be good idea to call the
sixth mast the Saturday mast. As to
the feasibility of six-master he says: s'It
will not cost s. a month more to run q
six-sticker than it does i've. In either
one the engine does the work in smooth
weather, and in rough weather they both
would reef two sails and furl the rest OF
course the vessel with six masts would
carry great deal larger cargoes thar the
one with five, and as the difference in
cost in operating is SO little, there would
be more money for the owners. 1t was
only a short time ago that the four-mas-
ter was considered big one; now i've
masters are all the go, and the six-sticker
is about to come. People tell about the
money spent for sohooners not comparing q
with the amount which used to be put
into ships, know that 1t costs about as
much TO rig one of the big schoonsrs as II
would to rig ship of about the same
size."
