Part of this fact is due to the want ] of respect for the commissioners per sonally and a part Of it to the dis position of the commission to consti tute themselves into a trial tribunal instead Of an examination concern. It is known that President Authuu was never in love with the civil service law. lie maintained toward the civil reform the atti tude of simulated respect which a gentle man preserves at the funeral of a very dis tant and unregretted relative. In fact, it seems that he placed such slight value upon i it that he appointed men to enforce the law j who would make the reform idea as ridiculous as possible. ltd Eatox ■ a bumptious and conceited crank—a nar row-minded old gentleman, who bows down before the English civil service system — system hateful and repugnant to American ideas and institutions he would before a end. Gbsgoby is a man of whom nothing was known at the time of his api>ointmeut, except that he had been an Illinois school master who regarded book learning as the only thing needed in this life. He has done nothing since his appointment to show that ho was a man of force or popularity. The other mem ber of the commission was chosen probably because he was enough of a Democrat to admit of a label but not enough "to hurt." During President Abthub'B administration the commission answered the purposes ad mirably. It carried out Mr. Arthuk's civil service idea to the letter, of doing nothing la particular and doing it well. With the advent of President Cleveland's ad ministration the commission grew trouble some. It set itself to work to make a lie publican insurance company out of the Democratic administration- The members i of the commission have become imbued j with the idea that it is their place to govern the government It is about time that this grotesque perversion of the intent of the civil service law should come to an end. This is not a good year for bosses, anyway. And the last place in the world for a boss is in the civil service commission. If the coinnilssiiiers had the proper sense of right and propriety they would have ten dered their resignations long ago. They are the most offensive partisans connected with the civil service and it is a duty the president owes to tin- country to turn them out without delay. What the country wants to see is the appointment to the civil service commission of men who have the ability to comprehend the spirit as well as the letter of the law. and possess the integrity to im partially enforce it A RAILWAY BOOM COMING. The dose alliance entered into by the Burlington and the Manitoba is of deep significance to the rapid railway develop ment in the Northwest. The Burlington is accepted to be the most aggressive railroad management in the West and it is backed by ample capital. The Manitoba is itself aggressive, and the combination between these giant corporations means that opera tions offensive and defensive, in the direc tion of dictating the control of traffic from the great producing to the consuming sec tions of the country, will be inaugur ated. This can but result in other alliances and combinations of allied interests from considerations of self-pro tection and for the purpose of aggressive action as well. One of the first moves that will be noted in,. tho way of reconstructing the railway map west of Chicago will be a combination between the Northern Pacific and the Wisconsin Cen tral. It will Ih> noted that hardly had the Ink been spread on the contract for the ex tension of the Burlington to St. Paul, and even before the Burlington interest had been given a voice in tin Manitoba direct ory, when the contract was let for the ex tension of the Wisconsin Central from Scbleislngerville to a connection with the Chicago line, which already has its tracks laid into the heart of that great commer cial center. By an alliance between the Northern Pacific and the Central a com bination as strong as the Burlington and Manitoba will be formed, with the ad vantage of baring through connections to the Pacific slope, penetrating the wheat belt of Montana not only, but the mines and ranges of Montana, and all of the diversified resources of Urn en tire line, with the Oriental trade within ea<y grasp. The Wisconsin Central would give the Northern Pacific system an outlet to the East, not only via St. Paul to Chi cago, but by rail as well as water from Ash land. It is inevitable that this combina tion be made, if in fact it is not already per fected. The Milwaukee line, by its Fargo Southern extension, has gained entrance to the rich Red river country, the granary of North Dakota. These considerations will force the Northwestern system and the Bock Island to push their extensions into the far Northwest. From these premises the Globe would predict that next year will see a larger mileage of new track age laid in the Northwest than in any other season in its history. These extensions may not prove profitable to these companies the first year or so, but they will build up the country and so establish traffic rela tions on which future dividends may he de clared. The railroad that advances in any direction undeveloped in Dakota, or in fact in the Northwest could hardly go wrong. In a level country like Dakota, especially, the cost of building railways is compara tively small, and now when material is cheap is a good time to do the work. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION*. The ('ii.otii: has had frequent occasion to say that in its opinion our system of public school instruction has been too theoretical in its character to fit its graduates for the practical duties of life. it is not expected that the state should teach all pupils in its schools trades or professions, nor would it be desirable to do so. What we insist upon is that a basis of industrial education shall be laid in the public schools. As a result of our theoretical system the boy or girl is turned out of school at the age of eighteen or twenty with no knowledge of practical industry. If a trade is to be learned the boy commences with the rudiments and works upward at a disadvantage, because he has commenced so late to educate the eye and hand in the forms and shapes and math ematical peculiarities and dexterities of the calling, which can only be acquired by prac tice. They came out of the school with their beads full of book knowledge but sadly deficient in the education of the eye and hand. It has for years been a growing conviction among thoughtful educators that this lack on the part of our educational system ought to be supplied by the estab lishment of industrial schools, to be engrafted upon the public school system. In many localities the experiment Is being tried with gratifying results. As an illustration of how it works in the city of Boston the Herald gives an Interest in:: account of the methods employed in the Hemenway-Sumner school, which is de voted exclusively to the industrial training of female pupils of the public schools of Boston. In the most advanced class the girls are exercised in free-hand drawing, embroidery work, cook ing and carpentry. The free-hand drawing is from nature and consists in the TIIE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE, BUNDAT AUGUST 23, ISBS —SIXTEEN PAGES: copying of leaves, flowers, berries, singly or In branches, as they occur in nature. During the visit of a representative of the Herald to the school he found this class, consisting of forty-five girls whose axes averape about 14 years, greatly interested in the work they were doing, so much so as scarcely to notice the presence of visitors. They seemed to love the occupation and to , be eager to improve every minute of their time. In two other rooms, where the Hire of the girls averaged about 11 years, the work taught is dressmaking In min iature. They are also taught knitting, crocheting and elementary housekeeping with toys. In the rooms where the youngest girls are taught advanced kinder garten work is done, such as coloring prints, arranging primary colored squares into designs, sewing and knitting. The carpentry class consists of forty girls, who are under the instruction of a young gentleman. The girls are taught the use of the saw, hammer and chisel, and instructed in the primary principles of wood-working. Of course it is not intended to make carpenters of these young ladies, but It is intended to teach them how to whittle, to drive a nail, to put up a shelf and fix the thousand-and-one conveniences which are always needed about a house, which the head of the family never has the time to do. and which the wife lias never been trained to. Women have as much natural aptitude for mechanical work as men, and the awkward ness they display whenever they attempt it is because of tho lack of training. Hence we see the im portance of the carpentry instruction in the Heiue.n way school. The kitchen department is in the basement a;. presided over by an intelligent lady cook. The kitchen curriculum is perfect, and includes lessons In boiling, steaming, simmering, frying, baking, roast jag; sautering, raising and mixing!' cleaning dishes, tables. brass and tinware, and lessons which relate to the pro] prepa ration of food and the chemistry of cooking. In referring to this department the Herald . says: "The importance of good cooking in a household cannot be over-estimated. It is no doubt a well-established fact that a good meal of well-cooked victuals, by satis fying the animal economy, will often make a man teui]>erate —or, rather, will prevent j his resort to bar-room stimulation, which poorly-dressed or unrelished food often in duces —when moral measures would tail to effect In fact, the healthy stomach, well sup plied with wholesome and nutritious food needs no other stimulation, and the craving for stimulation being absent, there is natur ally no resort to it. If ail the girls in our public schools were taught the art of cook ing and proper methods of general house keeping, how much better it would be, not only for their own family in the present. but for their own future after maturity. It is safe to say, on the other hand, that our present system of school education, by ex citing extravagant notions in the minds of children, leads them to prefer an ornamental to a useful career, and to consider as menial the most honorable of occupations. This false estimate of occupation makes them prefer the apparently genteel occupation of shop attendance to the more healthy and re munerative one of cook or housemaid. And this prevails to a general extent in the face of the fact thai a large i>ercentage of cooks who hire out are not fitted by previous training, or have no training whatever, for their vocation. In view of this state of things the addition of tlio kitchen to the other branches taught in the school estab- j lished by Mrs. 11 emeu way is of the highest importance, and is deserving of general recognition. In addition to learning the art of cookery, the pupil-, are given a dinner on the Thursday of each week— is. six have dinner and the other six wait on them, they in turn doing a like ofiice for the others on the succeed ing Thursday. This Is for the purpose of teaching them how to wait on table, etc The girls are delighted with their oc cupation in the kitchen, because they be come interested in the operations carried on by them. Their parents, who visit the kitchen, are so well pleased with what they witness that many of them say they would like to become pupils if it were i»ossible. Parents generally would be plea«ed to visit the school, and even members of the school committee might be interested by what is done there." A VKHSATII,E .HIM. 1 . A good deal of guessing has been done as to who was the unlit judge, that President ('v vi:i.\Mi was deceived into api>ointing. A statement has been going the rounds of the press that the new judicial ap|>oiutee in Wyoming was the man. and that Senator <<>( km.i i. was the gentleman to whom the president's famous letter was addressed! More recently guessers have settled down to the conclusion that the man appointed to the Alaska bench is the individ ual who is "morally and profession ally unfit" for a Judicial appointment 11" Is an Oregon man. and a Portland dispatch says thai he has tried his hand variously at lire-aching, practicing medicine, following the law, banking and whatever came handy, without being successful at any. He w:;s a jack-at-all-trades sort of a fellow, without being master of any. So far as his knowledge of law, or the lack of it goes. It doesn't make so much difference. Alaska is a field which does not present extraordinary ad vantages for the display of legal knowledge or judicial qualities, if Mr. Dai nk has good preaching talent he U just the man for the native Alaskans. Various religious denominations are inclining ■ good deal of expense endeavoring to establish missions for the conversion of the Ala>kan Indians and with very poor results. If the gov ernment sends ;; judge to the territory who can preach and Invests him with the power to enforce his doctrine at the point of the bayonet the natives will have to ex perience a change of heart. The president seems to be in trouble all around ■boat his Alaskan appointments. The commission of the new district attorney for the terri tory has been withheld, because, somebody has challenged his political record. The appointee is a Virginian who strayed after false gods at the time MbaßT went over to the Republicans. If it is the policy of the government to convert the Alaskans to Christianity they ought to be baptized into the Democratic church. m An Indiana newspaper wants lbs code of that Male amended so M to authorize county treasurers to loan tho surplus in the county treasury to fanners or merchants, who arc now compelled to pay ■.•' per cent, Interest to The banks. At present the treasurer deposits tbo surplus in a bank, and the bank lends It out and collects the Interest, probably giving the treasurer a dividend of the same. It might be wise to provide that the county, in stead of the treasurer, should receive Ibe interest on its surplus, but it is doubtful whether it would be wise to have the whole community engaged directly in a banking business. The official North Dakota census, reported in detail by counties in the Globe's Bismarck special to-day, shows tho thorough and tire- Ices work of the enumerators, and makes a most gratifying record of the development of this section of the great territory, which was but recently a waste of unproductive prairie. Ona Item in the figures will create some fur prise, and that is that In lbs new agricul tural area 612 manufacturing industries are maintained. For such a new country, char acter considered, this' is a rather remarkable record, but nothing is impossible or improba ble in North Dakota. Judge Deadt of the United States district court of Oregon tries to nullify the labors of the commissioner of the land office, who baa been undoing some of the work of his prede cessor by annulling patents issued on pre emption claims.

Dalton, Defaulting Postmaster and Jail Bird--Measures Against Canadian Small-Pox. Snanicful Persecution. Richmond, Va., Aug. 22.—Right Rev. Bishop John J. Keaue Of the diocese of Richmond recently wrote a letter to Hon. [ A. Al. Keiley in relation to what he terms the "shameful persecution" that gentleman is suffering. The letter is written from St. Paul, Minn., the bishop being at present in [ the far West. conducting a series of spiritual I retreats for the clergy. The bishop says: "I allude to the treatment inflicted on you as an insult not only to one of the most highly and deservedly esteemed Catholics of the diocese of Richmond, and one of the i most honored citizens of JVinrinia, but j through him to all his fellow Catholics and fellow citizens in this country and to the hoiy father himself, but in this insult to you I ' can see no humiliation save to those who have offered it. It was an honor to be un welcomed by a government whose whole course has been marked by injustice and ir reli^ion, and the government of Austria having in its recent act made itself the abet tor of the guilt and partner in the shame, lias thereby made itself incapable of HUMILIATING YOU. "While I have regretted the attacks made upon you by part Of the daily press, still that need not concern us much as nothing better was to be expected from such par tisan and interested sources, but I have es pecially deplored the criticism passed upon ! you by some Catholic scribblers who. in their zeal to appear clever and ultra j orthodox, have overlooked the fact that the cause for which you were suffering was the refutation as well as the condemnation and shame Of their strictures, but it is a comfort to know that the utterances of these wholly unauthorized critics have absolutely no weight beyond the infinitesimal weight of the individuals themselves. lam confident that all Catholics whose opinion yon would esteem, honor you for the persecution you have suffered for truth and justice sake. Your position is indeed an embarrassing one, with a family to provide for and your business transferred to others, but surely it cannot be that our government, whose well meant action has placed you in this embar rassment, will leave you in it or fail to pro vide that you be in no way the loser by it. And even should that happen, which 1 can not believe, still I am confident your well known qualities of head and heart will yet secure to you a career both of honor and profit." All it Hoax.

There is some doubt of Tilden's having named anybody for the collectorship and surveyor>hip of New York, but if he is disappointed in the appointments made there are many more important tilings that would tend to bring him close to the administration. The gen eral policy of retrenchment and reform is in accordance with his views and the posi tion of the treasury Upon financial ques tions is believed to be in his line. A gentleman who has always been close to Mr. Tilden, but re fuses to be quoted by name, discredits the story and says he would never treat Mr. Manning in the manner he is alleged to have, even if he is not pleased with the president. Assistant Secretary Fairchild, Judge McCue and other New York officials have never heard anything to suggest bad blood between the Grey stone sage and the administration.

New YoitK, Aug. —A Washington special to the Brooklyn Eagle says a gentle man who enjoys the confidence of the pres ident says concerning the reports about Secretary Manning's contemplated resiinia tion: "If Manning offers his resignation the president will accept it without a word. On the day after the president announced his cabinet Washington McLean called at the White house and found President Cleve land pacing the tioor of his onsen, appar ently in the depths of trouble. McLean began to apoligize for his seeming intrusion, when the president said: 'I don't mind tell ing you that I am troubled about my ap pointment of Daniel Manning to a cabinet office, I never wanted him, he was forced on me.' Later in the day a gentleman called on Manning at the Arlington hotel and told him what the president had said to McLean. Manning was naturally hot and sat down and wrote out his resignation, which he said he would go over and hand to the president. He was dissuaded from this course, but remarked that he would never serve six months in Mr. Cleveland's cabinet.'' Aite«»inx Di»tiller«.

Hodgson, a fanner residing near New London, Chester county, had a terrible ex perience with a maniac who got in their bedroom during las: night. The young ladies retired early, leaving open their bed room window. The' night air was cool, and the two girls were in the sweet land o! dreams. Toward midnight Lucy Hodgson suddenly awoke, and a strange feeling possessed her that some one was in the room. As soon as her eye became ac customed to the darkness she saw a strange creature, whether man or beast she knew not, crouch on all fours in front of the bed. Being a girl of eourace she determined to wait and see. She simulated sleep and the creature arose on his feet U tering unearthly sounds, pinched her in trie limbs and tore the bedclothes from off both the girls. They beheld in their visitor a strong, powerful, active and crazy wan named William Pearee, a maniac in the family of a neighbor, who had no doubt escaped from his keeper during the night and made his way to the young ladies sleeping apartment by way of the opei window.

It required no less than three or four men to tie him with ropes. The young la dies' room was turned topsy lurry, carpets being torn up and furniture lying about in great confusion. The maniac "was taken to the county hospital, where he was put in an ironclad room. FUTURE OF THE 6BANTS. Potter Palmer Tells of the Probable JHovriueiits of '.lie Family. Chicago. Aug. 22.—Potter Palmer was asked what the committee would be satis fied with as the total amount of the Grant monument fund and when the subscription list would probably be closed. He said that since his return from Mt. McGregor he had been too busy attending to private business, which had accumulated during his absence, to look after anything else. From what ha had been told, however, he thought there had not been sufficient canvassing done and that a much larger amount could be raised than had been generally counted on. The subject of Mr. and Mrs. Palmer's visit to Mt. McGregor was brought up. "We left there last Monday," said Mr. Palmer "and at that time Mrs. Grant was fooling quite cheerful, or as cheerful] as could be expected. She likes to have a few intimate friends about her now. and wt would have been pleased to remain longei on the mountain, but circumstances would not permit." "What arrangements have been made bj the family for the future." "Sept 11 Col. Fred Grant and his wife will arrive in Chicago and remain at out home for a time. His little daughter, 11 years old, is already here with our family. The widow will start about the same time for Putnam county, New York, where she will live for a time with the family of young Ulysses, who has a farm in Pogamie town ship." Speaking of the financial condition of tin family, Mr. Palmer said that he had no' talked with any of the members on thai subject, but he was assured they could not be in much worse shape. The general's book, though, promised a big return. The family would carry out Gen. Grant's re quest to devote the first proceeds of the book to pay the relatives of the Grants who lost money through Ward's rascality. CONFLICTING STATEMENT. Albany. N.

The time was 10 o'clock at night and thi glare of the electric lights brought out ii strong relief the tear-stained face of a di minutive urchin who leaned wearily against the door-post of a Chestnut street store, with a bundle of papers under his arm, sobbing bitterly. Several patches on his not overly clean face spoke eloquently of mysterious beatings at the hands of cruel task-masters. A benevolent-looking, elderly woman, at traded by the boy's piteous wails, paused and regarded him over her spectacles. "What's the matter, sonny?" she aske« kindly. The urchin rubbed his eyes vigorousl; with his doubled fist and howled dismally. "Tell me, continued the lady, laying hei hand on his shoulder, "what is the matter?' "Please —boo ma'am — boo — lost i —boo — quarter——an' all I've got left. —hoo— my— boop-a-p-e-rs!" "Poor little fellow." added the lady, coiuniiseratingly, and she searched her reti cule. "I suppose you'll be beaten if you don't take home some money?" "Y-e-s—hooma'am!" "Here is M cents. I don't want an> papers. Now run home like a good boy." "Thank you, ma'am. God bless you!" cried the urchin, checking his sobs, and his dirty lingers closed over the silver piece. The benevolent old lady patted hi m on the head and continued down the street with a self-satisfied smile illuminating her motherly old face. When she turned the comer the boy in the doorway whistled softly. A tiny form dashed out of an op posite doorway and darted across the street. • Did ye ketch on, Jimmie," asked the newcomer, breathlessly. "Ye betcher sweet life I did," was the confident rejoinder. "The old party giv' up half a case. We've caught on ter four bills ter night. Let's close ther shop an' git suthm' ter eat." "Pardner, I'm yours," piped the first speaker, and the two boys walked off arm ln^ rmto a Samson street eating house.
