gle left him with four stab wounds in the
head.
The murlerers then escaped with the
sum of LOGO francs and number Of Oh

Inside the farm house there was a
rhGstly spectacle. The little girl OF D
years Of age had evidently walked up, for
she was found in her cot with her arms
outstretched as though appealing Tor
mercy, The watch dog was killed with
a bludgcon. Rriere shouted for help dur
ing his struggle, but the nearest neighbor
was stone deaf and did not hear his
cries. The gcndarmcs are securing the
country for the murderers.

its architecture, its exhibits, its amuse-

will address It's expected throngs in
all these voices.
In its architecture must be included
the whole external equipment - its
buildings in their artistic and symmet-
rical arrangement and grouping. the
beauty Of their style, the exuberance Of
their decorations, breathing afresh the
genius Of the Spaniard and the Moor In
graceful forms and gorgeous colorings;
the landscape effects. blending the har-

no yEW-JERSET REPUBLICANS.

4 critical situation confronts the RepuDncans
of Npw-Jersey. After Democratic control iasl-
ins, over a quarter of a century the state mas
inst elected the third Republican Governor III
fine person of Franklin Murphy. The kepuoii-
cans came into power and have been continued
therein because. first of popular belief IN the
sincerity of the promises made to give tle
Sra+a honest, clean, economical and capapie
government. and. second. because OF the SUD-
seouent performances in fulflment OF these
promises.
In electing Franklin Murphy by an uhusu-
allv handsome majority the voters OF the
State emphasized their desire for the very pest
oualftv of government. They knew him as an
17nrig1t citizen, an able business man ana
1oyal Republican who had always STOOD Tor
high standards in politics and public office But
his hands will be tied If the control OF the
legislative machinery be allowed TO pass INTO
the hands of men having radically different
notions of their duty to the people and the
Republican party And there is grave danger
that something of that kind may happen. Inc
LOBBYISTS have plans of their own, and these
mans are not conducive to the best interests OF
the State. To permit them to direct or control
the organization of the legislature would be
colossal blunder and it behoOves every patriotic
Republican to take an active part in thwartlng
the schemes now afoot.

CIVIL SERFICE DANCERS.

United States Civil Service Commissioner
Foalze in an address at last weeks meeting of
The National Civil Service Reform League
called attention TO two prospective attacks upon
the integrity Of the merit system against which
the people OF this country should be on their
guard. Mr.. Foulke is not an alarmist year
ago when many Civil Service reformers were
EXPRESSING discouragem over slow progress,
he yras telling them that there was no need to
Sesfair, and that what they called retrograde
movements were not nearly bad as they
rhcusht. Just now the refoTners are jubilant
ever certain advances and perhaps inclined TO
underestimate the possibilities of reverse. but
saes will doubtless give serious heed to warn
ings from observer so conservative as MI
FoaISe.
The Civil Service law is so firmly intrenched
n public confidence that repeal or starvation so
often threatened by Congress is no longer to be
feaIes. Attacks are likely 10 be indirect and
possibly without any intent TO destroy the merit
system as a whole Just at present some Con-
gressmen are at work 10 secure a law trans
ferring the census clerks appointed by them
under the patronage system 10 the classified ser
vice on the expiration of the census work Mr..
Follke says: If this is accomplished the Civil
Service Commission might as we'll 90 ont of
business for the next year or two. so far as
.sdepartmental clerkships are concerned For
wherever favoritsm and competitive examina-
''tion come into competition in this way fayorit-
s'ism is sure to win. and the great bulk of the
appointments will be made by transfer" This
would be & great injustice 70 those who in good
faith enter competitive examinations The census
clerks were the personal favorites of Congress
men They were appointed for the census work,
and when that is finished have no reason TO
expect further employment. Having secured
places through tayoritism. however, they will
probably use all their influence 10 be transferred
to other places ahead of those who have sought
them fairly and earned them in competition.
There is no prospect that the executive depart
nent by a change in the rules will open the
door 70 them, and there should be no possibility
of Congress doing it
The other measure which Mr.. Foulke says
threatens the merit system is the so-called Vet
