Received Jail Sentence.

ID. A. Smith and Robert Blakely,
two hoboes, we're arrested last Sunday
night by J. w. Jones, night watchman
for the railroad company, and Sheriff
johnson for stealing coal. The two
men were in town Saturday and Sun
day and were repeatedly warned away
from the yards by Mr. Jones. The
warning was disregarded and Sunday
night the men wer. detected by
Watchman Jones in carrying small
amount of coal to the shanty Of Martha
Washing-Woman. with the probable
intention of trading the coal for some
thing to eat. Mr.. Jones attempted to
arrest the men and met with resist
ance. He then summoned Sheriff
johnson and the men were taken to
Jail. Monday morning they were ar
raigned before Justice Camelin and
pleaded not guilty. A number of wit.
nesse> were examined and the guilt of
the men was established to the salts
faction of the justice. They We're
consequently sentenced to 80 and 20
days respectively in the county Jail.
Because Of the poor Jail facilities in
J'tlesburg the men were taken to
Sterliu. Tuesday morning by Sheriff
johnson aud placed in Jail at that
place.

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE.
Breezy Gossip on Various Topics
From the Nations apital.

President Mckinley thinks, as do all
of his advisers. that the solution of
the Cuban problem by this govern
ment depends largely upon the consti-
tutional convention now sitting in
Havana. When the probability Of the
necessity OF an extra session of con-
gress was first discussed by the cabi-
net, several weeks ago, it was suppos-
ed that the constitution would be com
pleted by this time, but wrangles have
started among the constitution makers
which may continue for months and
result in Indefinitely prolonging the
completion of the constitution. No
definite action will be taken by this
government until the constitution has
been completed, and there is even op-
position to the proposed congressional
declaration setting forth the things
the Cubdns must do before we with
draw from the island, on the ground
that it would be better taste to wait
and see what the Cubans will volun-
tarilly offer to do to meet our known
wishes.
The SpoOner amendment to the ar
my appropriation bill, authorizing the
president TO establish and maintain q
civil government in the Philippines,
is certain to become law. AS soon as
it does, Judge w. H. Taft, who is now
at the head Of the civil commission in
the Philippines, will be appointed gov
ernor of the islands and will be vested
with wide discretion in the selection
of his subordinates. Among those
who have been selected as justices of
the Philippine supreme court are
Judge Cooper of Texas and Judge
Bates Of Vermont.
Congress is accomplishing great
deal of work, buo great deal remains
to be done in the next two weeks If an
extra session is to be avoided. The
fate of the ship subsidy bill is still in
doubt, but the chances appear to be
against its being voted upon at this
session. In fact, the democrats, who
have gotten together in their opposi-
tion to this bill, have positively said
that they would not allow it to be vot-
ed upon, and the Indifference of a mum
Der of republican senators exhibited
last week when night sessions were
held made it apparent that the project
of forcing vote by the holding of
continuous sessions is not practica-
BILE.
Secretary Gage, having satisfied
himself by investigation that Russia
was paying a bounty on sugar export
ed, has ordered that retaliatory duty
equivalent to the bounty, which is
nearly one cent a pound, shall be col
leCtsd on all sugar imported from
Russia. Fear is expressed in some
quarters that this will lead to tariff
war with Russia.
At last congress has provided for
the erection of a suitable statue of
U. S. Grant in Washington. a bill
appropriating s25o,0OO for statue to
be erected on some public square in
Washington, plans for the statue and

Many OF Them Should BE Returned to the
Competitive List.
The report calls attention 10 the large
number of positions in the Internal
revenue service which are excepted
from the provisions of the civil service
rules. and expresses the belief that the
best interests of the service require
that at least all deputy collectors serv-
ing at the headquarters of the district.
with the exception, perhaps. of the
chief deputy. and also all deputies who
have practically permanent locations
ut different points in the district
should be returned to the competitive
classified service
Upon the general subject of political
assessments the commission says:
''Since the passage of the civil ser
vice act the growing infrequency of
attempts to levy political assessments
or solicit contributions from federal
employees in violation of the law has
been particularly gratifying. : "
The efforts of the commission and the
heads of departments to inform the
government employees of these provis-
ions of the law and rules and to Sc
cure enforcement have no doubt done
much to discourage attempts TO col
lect political assessments
In discussing the Philippine civil
service act. the report says: al
though several months have inter
vcned since the passage Of the Philip
pine civil service law. little or no criti-
ciSm has been made by the opponents
of the merit system i'm the United
States of the policy of enacting such
law for the Philippines This fact is
evidence of popular belief that a SyS-
TEN of appointments based upon merit
was necessary to insure the establish
ment by the United States of q stable
Philippine islands.
1T is gratifying to note that the law
contemplates not only a system of ap-
pOintmentS as a result of competitive
examination. but also a complete merit
service, and for this its fUamers are to
he especially commended. Bright.
capable men are given an incentive to
enter the lower grades by the asSur-
ance that promotion will depend Who'll
iy upon demonstrated capacity. and
that even the highest offices may be
attained in this way without the ne
ceSSity of personal or political favor
1t is pointed out chat the work OF
the commission will be necessarily very
materially increased on account of the
extension of the civil service law and
rules to federal positions in the islands
OF Hawaii and Porto Rico. and also by
the order of the president directing the
commission to assist the Philippine
civil service board. upon its request. in
the matter of holding examinations in
this country and in other ways.
