man is not content with the workings OF
the civil service system as it is now man
aged. According to the Senator many
States are getting a larger slice of pic
from the appointment cupboard than
they are entitled to under the civil SER
vice law. In order to get at the meat of
the question and have it brought to the
Senate's attention Senator TiIlman has
recently introduced in the Senate reso.

mission to transmit to the Senate a list
Of persons now holding places in the
employ of the Government in the classi.
fled service that are charged to the State
OF South Carolina, giving names, present
addresses, legal residences, when ap-
pointed and the amount of salary in each
case; 1t is the Senator's purpose to try
and have matters equalized, 80 that South
Carolina may obtain the proportion OF
offices In the classified service that she ia
entitled to under the law.
According to an estimate made short
while ago South Carolina has only 10 per
cent of the offices that should come to
her.. Other States, as Maryland, New
York and Pennsylvania, are found to
have from 80 to 100 per cent more than
their share. All of which goes to show
that civil service, as at present admins
powerful factor termed "political pull
In this connection attention may be
called to the small number of applicants
from South Carolina for offices in the
classified service. With few exceptions
the offices in the. various departments
here are open only to applicants who
have passed the necessary civil service
examination. Passing this examination
is but part of the game; but to get any
assistance from the Senators and Con-
gressmen it is, in most cases, necessary
that those seeking employment in the
Government service here shall have sue
cessfully stood the examination pre-
scribed. Several of the members of the
House from South Carolina have been
urging their constituents to pay more
attention to the civil service examina-
tions, which are held at stated times
throughout the year. And, as Senator
Tillman is making an effort to have more
South Carolinians awarded places in the
Government service, those hoping for
places had best arrange to get the track
clear by passing the civil service test.

Biggest Chain Ever Made.

Pittsburg, April 2.-The Standard
Chain company, with headquarters
in Pittsburg has just completed at
its works in Lebanon, Pa, the long
est and most powerful chain ever
produced. A duplicate is to be
made, the two for the Eastern Ship
building company of New London,
Conn. They will be used on two
great vessels to ply between San
Francisco and ports of Japan.
The completed chain is of $50
fathoms and an expert of the British
iloyds Register Association has
witnessed the test. When the order
was placed it was generally con-
tended that the chain would have to
be secured abroad that the makers
here could not supply chain of the
character required.
The chain was subjected to the
strain of new 100000 pound test
ing machine at the works by the
Philadelphia Machine Tool company,
Philadelphia.
The tests were made in the pres
ence of w. Gordon Minchin, of Lon
don, Surveyor of the British Lloyds
Register. Experts throughout the
country and Europe were awaiting
for the result of the test. 1t had
been expected that the big chaint
would have to be secured from 9

M AND HAMMER SODA FOR sc.

She was Immediately sent to {
hospital and the police drag net wa,
put in motion. Lane was traced tc
the Pennsylvania Railroad station a,
Camden, where he was recognized
by one of the policemen who had
been admitted to the house. The
officers hustled him on a ferry boat
and out of jurisdiction of the State
of New Jersey and took him to the
city hall.
At the police station Lane said he
was sorry for what he had G ne. He
was surprised to hear that Eloise
was alive, and said he always liked
her and he hated to kill her, but cit
was necessary to do So" "Now that
have been caught" he added, 81
hope she will recover. l am also
sorry for Mrs. Furbush and Madeline,
but poverty tempted mo to do it, and
| must now suffer-"
Later Lane was taken to the hos
pital, where Eloise identified him,
saying:
"He is William Lane, who killed
my mother and sister and tried to
kill me. You know you did, Will
liam"
In his presence her statement was
taken, and Lane put the seal of
accuracy to it by saying, "Every-
thing the child has said is true"
Lane is the son of preacher who
lives in Bridgeton, and has served a
term in the Mount Holly, N. j., Jail
for larceny, and has been confined in
the Huntington, Pa, reformatory.
There seems to be a mystery re-
garding the domestic life of Mrs.
Furbush. In the neighborhood where
she lived she was variously known
as Mrs. Furbush and Mrs. Fisher.
The woman, who was az years of
age, was well supplied with money,
owned the fine house she lived in,
had her own horses and carriages and
lived lite of case. AS result of
an investigation, Coroner Dugan is
endeavoring to secure the attendance
at the inquest of Charles A. Furbush,
a wealthy manufacturer of milling
machinery, of this city. Mr.. Fur
bush was out of the city to-day on
business.

Scarcely had the negro been lodged
in jail before quiet word went
round for the assembling of the oiti-
zens just after dark. Every availa.
BILE gun and pistol in Rome was
secured, and the crowd was CON-
posed of citizens of high and low
degree, without regard to friendship,
politics orsocial standing. There were
no masks worn and the negro was
lynched under the glare of an elec-
trio light on the principal street of
the city. Quietly and in an orderly
manner they went to the jail, and
upon the refusal of the officers to
rgive up Allen, the citizens broke
down the doorof the Jail and secured
their prey. He was led from the
Jail to the place where the lynching
occurred, and without any delay was
strung up to a telegraph pole and
bullets pierced his swinging body,
where it will remain oil night.
Allen protested his innocence to
the last.
Later.-Allen's body was not out
down until 9 o'clock Wednesday
morning. An inquest was held by
the corner. The jury rendered a
verdict that the negro had met death
at the hands of mob to them un-
known.

FRoLlc OF PAGES.
An Imitation Session OF the National House
Of Representatives.

The last concerted frolic Of the
pages Of the House of Representa-
tlves took place yesterday morning
between $50 and 10 o'clock, saws
the Washington Star.
"The House will be in order"
Page j. III. Hollingsworth, of New
York, uttered these words with gray
ity and precision, at the same time
bringing into play on Speaker Hen
derson's desk an improvised gavel.
Some fifteen pages respectfully rose
from the seats of the members of
that body whom they desired to i'm
personate, while Cyrus Kelly, of
Wyoming, as chaplain went through
the form of prayer.
Clerk Dannie McCleaver, of the
District of Columbia, read the min
utes of the session of the preceding
day, which were heartily approved.
Silas @. Herring, of Pittsburg, wh.o
was occupying the seat of Represen-
tative Dalzell of that State, was rec
ognized in accordance with a pre.
arranged schedule on the speakers
desk to offer a privileged resolution
from the committee on rules. The
resolution, first, that the pages of the
House should be put on the annual
roll in stead of being merely session
employees and that incidentally they
should hereafter receive $3.50 a
month instead of $75, and be allowed
two months extra pay each year.
The resolution was received with
hearty applause and was about to
be passed by acclamation when Jacob
Beder, of Ohio, demanded a vote by
"tellers." Speaker Hollingsworth
gazed at the obstructionist second
and then ruled in stentorian tones
that the motion was "dilatory" and
declared the resolution adopted at
once.
A. L. Woodcock, of Massachusetts,,
as sergeant-at-arm and March
Fisher, OF Ohio, as major presented
themselves in the middle aisle and
after a profuse bow Woodcock an
nounced: "Mr. Speaker, a message
from the President. Then Fisher,
in imitation of Major Pruden, ran
his hand down the black cord of his
eyeglasses, and after solemnly pre-
tending to place them ON his nose
he said with gravity, 81 am directed
by the President of the United
States to deliver to the House mes
sage in writing" This clever bit of
imitation was hugely enjoyed by a
large party Of school mistresses who
had been interested spectators in the
gallery and a general handclapping
broke forth. The gavel of the
speaker thumped noisily. "The
speaker is compelled to announce"
he declared, "that any further demon
stration in the galleries will result in
an order to clear them"
just at this instant Jerry Con-
stantien, the House telegraph opera
tor, pushed open the lobby door at
the speakers left and fourishing
one dollar bill in his hand he asked
leave "to introduce this bill"
81 move that the bill be received
and laid on the table," was the quick
response of Herring, of Pennsylvania.
Constantine begged leave to recon
slider this offer, but at the sight Of
the greenback the pages made a
football rush for it and the session of
the House was over.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
They Are Much More Satisfactory Than Party
Caucuses.

|
Daniel Webster said in his da,
and generation eft is time to de
away with caucuses. They make
great men little and little men great
The true source of power is the peo.
ple." Perhaps we have made some
advancement in our political methods
since then, but it is still far CRY
into the future to the political mil
lennium.
The State of Minnesota proceed.
ing upon the theory of Webster that
'the true source of power is the
people," has taken decided step in
this direction, the effects of which
other commonwealtbs may do well
to thoughtfully consider. The Min
nesota plan embraces two ideas COM
bincd in one procedure called ga pri-
mary election" Idea No. 1 is that
the people shall do their own nomi-
mating instead of delegating that
duty to conventions. Idea No. Q is
that they shall do their nominating
almost exactly as they do their elect
ing, with all the conveniences and
safeguards now found on the gene
raj election day and with all parties
doing the work at the same time and
in the same place. We have this
idea well developed in our primary
system in South Carolina as to the
Democratic party.
In carrying out the second idea a
ballot is provided for each party,
and as the voter comes to the rail he
must name which party ballot he
wants. If required he must take
oath that in general he supported
the ticket of that party at the last
election and means to support it at
the coming election. A convert,
then, must abstain from caucuses for
a year, sort of political penance of
season for prayerful meditation
that any neophyte ought to expect.
The more practical phase of it is
that this lessons the chance of pack
ing primary with voters of another
party.
This plan of primary elections is
no longer an experiment, but has
proved entirely satisfactory in prac-
tical operation. Speaking of it, a
writer in The National Magazine
says: "The Minnesota plan lets any
man be candidate who will pay a
small fee for having his name put on
the ballot. Parlor caucuses can not
dictate nominations. The machine
candidate stands no better chance
than any other candidate. No aspi-
rant need put himself under obliga-
tions to ring or boss or corporation
before he will have a ghost of a
show. Nominees will 60 to the
polls unhampered by promises.
Those elected will fill their offices
with obligations only to the electors,
the people. Political debts will no
longer clog and hamper and en-
barrass."
Manifestly in Republican form
Of government the political methods
which give the people the largest
opportunity to express their will
and have it carried into effect is
most in harmony with the spirit of
our institutions. Frequently under
the caucus system which prevails in
other States, it is not the will of the
people, but the will of a faction or
individual, ring or boss which is
registered in the nomination of can
didates for Office. The Minnesota
plan is worthy of emulation.-Spar-
tanburg Journal.
