CIVIL SERVICE mUmBUG

Everybody is aware of the siren
uosity and reverberating vociferous-
ness of the President as a civil ser.
vice reformer. 1t has been his hob
by which he has ridden for years
with all the delight which he evinces
when busting a broncho. He pro-
tests in season and out of season
that he will allow no infringement
of the law governing the civil SER
vice, and will hold every man to a
strict observance of the same. Let
us see II all these protests and
vociferation are sincere, or only a
bluff to fool the people. Not long
ago the President sent Civil Service
Commissioner Alfred w. Cooley
over to Philadelphia to investigate
as to the doings of Postmaster
McMichael of that city who had
been reported as using his Office and
his power as Postmaster for purely
political and partisan purposes, and
In other ways violating the civil
service law. Mr.. Cooley went and
made out his report to the Presi-
dent, and in that report he declared
that the Philadelphia postmaster
was guilty of all the offenses charg-
ed against him, and recommended
his dismissal for good and sufficient
cause. AS soon, however, as Matt
Quay, the Pennsylvania republican
boss, got wind of the matter, he
went to the White House and read
the riot act to the President to the
effect that he did not intend to
have one of his chief henchmen and
tom tom heaters in Pennsylvania
disturbed in his fat Office. He had
placed him, he intimate6, in the
position he occupied for the very
purpose of having him do the things
he is charged with having done in
fragrant violation of the civil SER
vice laws of the country, and he
intimated, also, that the President
would better be careful how he dis
turbed his pets. What was the re-
sult2
The President fastened to send
for Civil Service Commissioner
Cooley, and, practically taking him
by the throat, demanded of him
that he straightway write another
report of the findings against the
Philadelphia postmaster, In which
he would End nothing to his detri-
ments and in which there would be
no recommendation of dismissal.
The second report has been writ
ten and the Philadelphia postmast-
er, who has been guilty of the most
fiagrant violation of the civil SER
vice law, will not be disturbed in
his fat job. And this, at the behest
of the Chief Executive of the nation,
who has swore to execute the laws.

SMALLPOX SITUATION BnlemrER.

From the Grafton Sentinel.
The smallpox situation over about
Oakland and Mt Lake Park has
grown considerably brighter during
the past few days, the physicians
having succeeded in getting the
threatened epidemic well under con-
troll. There are, but eight cases
within the corporate limits OF Oak
land, and all growing better. 1t
was necessary to adopt the very
stringent measures used here in the
matter of quarantine 10 get contro.
of the disease, but the physicians
may congratulate themselves that
they have succeeded so admirably.
The quarantine will be raised from
Loeb Lynn today, it is stated.
There has been bun one case in Mt.
Lake Park proper, that OF young
lady who was nearly we'll when the
case was reported. The situation
Is said to be worse at Newburg, and
Tunneiton and Rowlesburg also have
several cases. The cases here in
Grafton are closelp quarantined,
are being very carefully attended
and no further spread of the disease
Is apprcbended. There are three
cases very mild ones--at the Rob.
eson boarding house on Main street,
one case on the hill and three at the
emergency hospital out on the poor
farm, all Of them rapidly recover

was the manly reply. The crow
feet and burrows in his face seemed
to disappear as his face beamed out
with such earnestness.
"Then / may announce to the
voters of Preston that you will
make no canvass for the nominal
tion," asked.
Eyes, my dear Rambler, you
may say to the voters of Preston
county that Joe Davis will ask no
man to vote for him. Having
served them once they are to Judge

pectations.. If did, and they de-

could hole every one OF them," J.

guarded reply, ''but no power of
