received at the Weather Bureau from all points
in Southern Ohio and as far north as Springfield.
Owing to the general prostration OF telegraph
and telephone wires it is impossible to hear from
many points. The trains are late all the
railroads. and some trains that were due last
night from the east have not yet arrived. 1t is
generally conceded that the fruit crop through
the Ohio Valley is gone and the damage to
crops is great

Erie Penn, April 21.-The snowstorm of Fri

Saturday night were the worst known here In
of March, 1883. There is twelve inches Of snow
on the level, and Saturday nearly every
trolley line in the city blocked. To-day
traffic resumed irregularly. Wires
down and crossed and telephone lines worked
badly On Saturday night there were two fires

There were four freight wrecks on the Lake

The heavy snow plough went off the rails and
tore up two hundred feet of track at Swanville
and at Harbor Creek cars jumped the track,
and at Westfield, N Y, seven cars of freight
train left the rails. The night Erie and Pitts
burg run was abandoned when the train went
on the track at the west city limits. The ther-
mometer was at no time below 30 degrees, and
to-day rain has been falling.

One woncers sometimes. says the Spectator. whether the new fussiness about the body really tends as much to human happiness as the old igno- rance or stolid resignation. It certain ly increases greatly the objects of fear. and every fear tends to impair the se- renity which is the base of happiness. It also helps to keep alive the feeble, who are often in the way and who do not improve the race, and it very de cidedly interferes with the even flow of promotion" which is almost as nee essary to society at large as to the army or the civil service. There is, too, some diminution of courage, however, slight, in facing risks, and a great in crease in that habit of self-pity which is apt. especially to those at the two ends of life. Children are not only happier. but positively better for the new hcaIthiness secured by science an opinion which will be endorsed, We believe, by every manager of a good preparatory school-and to the old the benefit is iudcscribable. They will die as of yore, though later, but they are spared half the old aches and pains, SO that "cheery old, age'' instead of being noticeable is the common and expected condition

The census returns show that the native white popula tion of the United States exceeds the foreign born ele- Inent in the ratio of more than five to one, there being more than fifty-siX million whites against htte more than ten million foreigners. Of the na- tives something more than forty-one millions are also of native percentage. A more striking fact brought out Is that since 1890 the native white ele- ment has increased twenty-three per cent, and the foreign white element only twelve. If this ration continues the foreign element must steadily be- come a smaller proportion of the en- tire population, which is only another way of saying that the population will become more homogeneous as time passes.

PHoENIx, ARIZONA, NOV. 9, 1901

A Washington correspondent states that it is the intention of President
 Roosevelt to place REFORM the consular service IN CONSULAR at least the larger SERVICE. number-under civil
 service rules.
 For fifty years, more or less, reform CTS have been discussing ways and means for reforming the consular service of this country. Members or congress have been trying to find some way to apply merit tests and standards of efficiency to this great branch of the government. But they have failed Nothing has been done- Men like Con gressman Robert R. Hit. chairman Of the foreign relations committee, have seen so many failures that they have become cynical. They have ceased to try, or to care very much about l.. The system of pulls and politics is re- garded by them as one of the things which has become permanent. % But this is to be attacked by Presi- dent Roosevelt. An eminent states man once propounded the financial truth in regard to specific payments that "The way to resume is to re sume.'' So Roosevelt has learned that the way to reform is to reform- He believes in doing things, rather than discussing ways and means for doing them. And that will be his method of introducing the merit system in the consular service.
 An executive order may be expected before very long announcing and pre- scribing a system of competitive ex- aminations for consular appointees- Thus. at one fell swoop, the system of pulls and politics is to be done away with in the choice of new consuls. The United States has about forty consul generals and about 2SO consuls and commercial agents
 In 1895 Grover Cleveland issued an executive order which was supposed to put the service on merit basis It authorized the secretary of state to ap- point an examining board of three persons to pass on the qualifications of candida tes. But the examination was not made compulsory. nor was it con- petitive. It never has been more than the shallowest pretense. The candi- date with proper political credentials . never has had any difficulty. in passing the alleged examination.
 President Roosevelt, it is said, in tends to make this examination for ad- mission to the service the real thing. Later he will consider an extension of the same system to the service. so that promotions may he made on the merit basis also.

 The plans of Mason 6 Eaton include the building of a large room1ng hotel on the Hill street frontage.

 Its location will be directly opposite the site recently purchased by the chamber of commerce for its new home. and this deal will doubtless do much te stimulate values in this part of Log Angeles Broadway.
