A Crown Of Shame.

King Peter of Servia has been
crowned. With mock enthusiasm his
subjects saw placed upon his head
the emblem of authority. They
shouted just as loudly as they would
have shouted for anyone who might
have stabbed Peter in the back and
climbed upon a throne whose rocking
base is a pile of human bones
II was a pleasing circumstance that
some Of the governments OF Europe
declined to be represented at this
CHASTITY farce. Peter had TO depend
for spectators upon his own loving
subjects. some of whom will in all
likelihood choose a convenient season
and kill him. While such an act
could win no approval, it would ex-
cite no sympathy for the victim
King Alexander was a british seal
awag. in his veins the faint of blood
hopelessly ignoble. His impulses did
not rise above those of the swineherd
line from which he had sprung.
Draga was an adventures. Truly a
royal pairl However, bad as they
were, they were better than the cow
ardly assassins by whom they were
surrounded, and who butchered them
in the night with bestial and wanton
excess of cruelty.
Probably Peter was accessory to the
fiendish plot. If not, he became &C
cessory after the fact. when be &C
cepted a kingship offered by men
dripping with the blood of the couple
at whose hands they had taken
favors, and before whom they had
knelt in the attitude of loyal subjects
These cory providers of the night are
the rulers Of Servia. Each should
have been sent to the headsman, and
Peter not excepted. He could no
punish murderers of whom he himsel
was one. He is helpless within a cir.

Beyond Reclamation.

Over in New York, in Jail, there is
lad charged with stealing many
thousands Of dollars. In order to do
this he had to betray a benefactor, as
well as ignore the teachings of his
mother. His purpose in getting the
money was to gamble. His methods
Of getting it were deliberate, and
shrewd as ever followed by any old
criminal. Now that the boy has been
caught, he laughs at his predicament
They can't give me more than TWEEN
ty years" he says, and that isn't
enough to scare yours truly"
This hardened young scoundrel pre-
sents a peculiar problem. He seems
devoid of moral perception. There is
nothing in him of the sort that re-
spends 10 appeal. There is no partic-
ular hope of retaining him. He will
emerge from prison, hardened and
bent upon committing new offense.
Some who are born into an atmos-
phere of evil naturally take to evil
ways. But where they are arrested
in the downward course, and given a
different environment, something
within them IS awakened. They are
aware Of decent ambitions. The pos
sibility Of right living dawns and al
lures to better paths. They may be-
come honest and respected, the past
nothing but dimly hateful memory,
| serving as constant warning.
1t is the boy who deliberately and
/ without excuse Of malign sur
roundings, turns to crime, who makea
final choice and who has as little
prospect OF retrieving his error as a
| legless man Of winning a race All
that society can do for him is to re-
/ gret his existence and lock him up.

Abolish the Banners!

The news of the day indicates that
a majority Of the District Commits
sioners have agreed to promulgate the
following order:
That hereafter no permits will he issued 20
suspend across the public streets Of the District
Of Columbia any sign or banner.
II will not do TO temper the gen
eral commentator this order must
obtain with any suggestion that it is
tardy. The mass of routine business
which the Commissioners must con-
slider and the complexity of interests
with which they are always confront
ed often entail delay in the adjust
ment of business on which all the
Commissioners have long had con
victions. The community will be con-
, tent If the order is issued now with
the least possible delay.
The need for this action is mani
fest. For years Pennsylvania Avenue

Mr. Spence aud the Law.

Chairman H X. Spence, of the Re
publican State campaign committee
of Iowa, is again the subject of agita-
tion among the watchdOgs of the
Civil Service. There has been a great
deal Of barking lately, but no bite.
In an earlier experience, however, Mr..
Spence did get bitten, and in the light
of this new rumpus IL is interesting
to consider the difference between the
two cases.
1t appears that Mr.. Spence thinks
the incumbent of a clerkship a debt
or to the political organization of
the party in power No ideal of fair
pay for services rendered" for him. If
a man has a good job he ought to
give up" and the valiant fighting
for reform in the Civil Service done
by Mr. Spence's candidate for the
Presidency cuts no ice"
Two years ago this same Mr.. Spence
sent personal letters from the same
Office to such Government clerks as
owned to a residence in Iowa. The
Times has no exact knowledge of the
phrases he employed. but it is safe to
say they were neither obscure nor
timid. At any rate his epistles
brought him within the purview of
the Civil Service Commission, and the
Commission brought a tense to bear
on his letters, through which Mr..
Spence was able to see the law
Thereupon he suffered himself to
"crawfish" by Withdrawing his letters
and substituting for them a quotation
from the act of Congress securing the
clerk In his Office.
This time Mr.. Spence has chosen to
send his invitation to contribute to
the Iowa clerks at their homes. That
discretion, it appears, relieves him
from responsibility to the Civil Service
Commission and withdraws the con-
troversy from its Jurisdiction. Evi.
IDENTIFY there is one politician who i:
not blind to the teachings Of ex
perience.
It now remains for the clerks t
follow his example and also Learn
from experience. They can do this
by resurrecting the Spence circular o
two years ago. and bordering ovel
this paragraph in the Civil Servic,
act Of January IS, 1893:
Sec. ls No officer OF. euplove Of the Unite,
States mentioned in this act shall discharge, o

reading that citation from the law o

A Valuable Handbook.

The Postof1ice Department, through
the efficient Third Assistant Postlnas-
ter General. Mr. Madden, has issued
for general distribution a handbook
on the United States Postal Service.
II has the form of a small pamphlet
OF forty pages, and is in size as con-
venient for the pocket as for the
desk. No announcement has been
made so far as 10 its distribution, but
il is safe to say It will be provided
practically TO everyone who can real
" make use OF it.
In subject-matter the little volume
is well worth while. II consists
chiefly Of an infringement Of the pos
tai regulations, but those regulations
are so classified and so clearly briefed
that the pamphlet Will be popularity
accepted as a guide pure and simple.
Besides this abridgment. moreover,
the little book sets forth in terse form
the information which users Of the
mails often need but cannot recall ac-
curately-the restrictions on the par
cells post service the drop" letter
privilege; and'the details Of the regis
| try. special delivery. and money order
/ systems.
Such a compilation is Of manifest
value TO the public at large But its
chief merit-and the quality which
ought to receive most emphasis now
is that It is so phrased as TO be
readily understood and generally val
