brewers have endeavored to dissociate
themselves from the distillers and their

been spread before the country by every

It Is scarcely to be expected that the
proclamation of a holy war by the
ShcllMiMslam will nwnken no response
among the Mohnmmcdnn peoples of the
rhlllpplnes, and It ajrpenrs to be a fact
that fanatics havo been endeavoring fo
bring about an uprising. Their efforts
havo met with no success, and tho In
sular Government wos formally notllled
on Saturday by n deputation of Jolo
and Mindanao Moro headmen that they
and their people would not take up arms
against the United States In splto of
the cull of their religious leader.
This assurance means that If hostile
nets nro committed by members of our
Mohammedan population they will bo
tho work of Indlrlduals or small bands,
operating without the sanction of their
tribal otlleer.s. Such outbreaks, wlilie
they may bo troublesome, hnvo none of
the characteristics of n Jehnd, and their
suppression should be comparatively
simple, while a general outburst, In
volving all the followers of tho Prophet,
would necessitate u toilsome campaign.
Incidentally, this decision of the
Moro headmen gives support to the
opinion thnt a Jehad mado In Germany
will not reach such proportions as
might be expected of ono Initiated
under other auspices.

they remind mo of the fellow who went

tooth. Tho dentist said to the patient:
"My dear fellow, you have no puln In that
tooth." Hepeatlns th statement eevernl

saying he only thought he had a rore
tooth. Calling him back the dentist called

THE CIVIL SEIIV1CE.
A Commissioner From the nanks of the
Clntisllleil M tinted.
To Tin: Editor op The Bun Sir. Oov-crnor-elect
Whitman bus promised to re
construct tho State Civil Service Commis
sion. It Is tho sincere hope of the writer,
who believes himself to be expressing
tho sentiment of tho Croat body of civil
servants who labor for the welfare of
tho State In Its many departments, that
he will deem It proper to appoint as
member of the new commission a man
who U or has been a civil servant and
who will understiinU tho operation of our
civil service through actual experience
ns distinguished from theory,
The writer believes that the examina
tions for civil service, and especially
those for promotion, have been extremely
technical ami Impractical In the past;
that what Is needed for the Improvement
of the State's eJaseillled service Ls prac
tical examinations which will tend to In
crenu tho number of efficient men and
women ivorklng for the State.
This Is especially so In reRard to the
promotion of civil servants, who find the
door to promotion all but blocked under
the present administration. Positions to
which men already In the service ought
logically to be promoted, by reason r,f
loni; years of expenenro and a consequent
thorough knowk-Oa of particular depart
ments and bureaus, are nlled by new
men, possessing somo manner of Imluence
which enables them to obtain the best
paying positions, while they are unable,
by reason of their lack of experience, to
Klve an adequate return of servico to the
State.
If one of rlie members of the new com
mission wer selected from tho great
body of Intelligent and efficient men al
ready In tho civil rorvlce of the State it
Is safe to say that ho would act as n
balunee wheel upon attempts to create
theoretical and half baked examinations
and would Inject Into the deliberations of
the commission a wholesome quality of
common sense, derived from actual con
tact, from the Inside, with the civil ser
vice machinery of our State.
Surely the Governor can find such a
man, whoso earnest and honest endeavor
will bo faithfully to represent not only
tho State but Its employees. His mem
bership In tho Civil Service Commission
would not only redound to the honor of
i ho appointing power but to tho welfare
of ti'. St-tt a wolt. Stenographer.

To Tim Karros, op Tim Hun Sir: X
havo no brief In favor of tho Intcrbor
ounh company or Its methods of doing
buslncsa, but the recent outory about the
crowding of trains and the way the guards
push people Into the cars seems to me to
be extremely unfair.
The trains are run. so far as can be
seon, as frequtntly as possible and as long
trains as possible.
One of your correspondents speaks of
the gunrds crowding people Into the can
as though they were hoRn. Now, what
nre tile guards going to do? Men, and
women too, when a train comes In, rush
for the doors and keep crowding to get
In. The truards have eot to close the
doors eo that the train can itart, and
there are Just two things that a guard
can do.
He can grab the people who are push
ing In, they are tho ones who are really
doing tho crowding, and Jerk them out
on the platform, subjecting himself prob
ably to severe censuro and to complaints
belm? made to headquarters, or he must
push them In so as to close the doors. He
naturally adopts the eaelcst way nnd
pushes thorn In.
Of course It Is well known that the line
ts overcrowded nnd will continue to be
so until the new subways are completed.
The people themselves are In some de
gree responsible for existing conditions.
They will Insist upon (tettlnn Into the cars
In the middle of the train, when It ts often
the case that th end enrs are not nearly
filled, the middle cars being Jammed.
It Is Just us well to bo fair to the In
terboroUBh company as to criticise It un
justly. It seems to me that the management
of this company, all things considered. Is
admirable. How they manage to Ret along
without serious accidents Is really wonder
ful, with trains running on only two min
utes headway, It.

SVl'MESS REVOLVER SALES.
Proposal to Minlt .Manufnetiire to a finv
ernmelit .Monopoly.
To Tim lSDiTon ov The Scn Bir: ne
ferring to your editorial "Drugs, dur.H nnd
Onnrsters," 1 nm reminded of the propo
sition put forth by Thk Sun, poislbly two
years ago, that the (lovernment should
monopolize tho manufacture or pistols,
and their snlo other than for police ute
should be absolutely prohibited. No sug
gestion has yet been made, to my knowl
edge, that would so effectively prevent the
revolver from getting Into the hands of
the mental and moral pervert, who Is thus
made a dangerous enemy of society
The revolver Is a publlo nuisance and
warrants aa drastla measures for sup
pression as are employed against the
spread of disease. Its manura. tuie, how
ever, Is an established Indus'ry that so
ciety has permitted to grow up and doubt
lets represents a considerable Investment
ot money. Should It, therefore, be re
stricted Holely to the Government It mlftht
not be unfair to make suitable compensa
tion to those whose plant snd services
would thus be put out of business, al
though the situation would hardly he
analogous to the actual taking of private
property Tor publlo use. In this case the
publlo would not take any private prop
erty In a physical sense, but through legis
late e prohibition would make the prop
erty valueless ror the purpose for which
It was constructed ; possibly that would
not legally require compensation. In anj
event the public could well nfford to
make such compensation and still be pay
ing a small prlre for a great boon.
To prohibit the sale of revolvers pre
supposes that they are nut a public nece
slty, and that seems a perfectly safe
proposition. 1 hnvei never heard a valid
reason ror their being In the possession
or any one other than a soldier or police
man. and even the latter might not ne-jd
to carry one It he did not risk encounter
ing one In the hands or a lawbreaker.
The prohibition or manufacture and sale
would naturally be accompanied hy the
railway and express compan is r-elng pro
slbl'ed from transport'ng revolvers except
under ciovcrnmetit se il, und an embargo
would likewise be laid upon their Impor
tation. Thus we might tlnd within a very
row years that they hnd heroine x
tinct even among gangsters, and possibly
gangsters too might somewhat go out ot
rashlon ir their courage (?) could not be
bolstered up by tha posfesslon or a re
volver.
I have seen It Mated that crime at
tended with violence Is much morn preva
lent Iti this country than In Kurope. more
in New York than In the greuer city of
London, tu.d that th" revolvir Is one or
the chler u'tive r .uses. Why. then, should
society comirue to mi' ml. o this Intoler
able nuisance? The remedy seems
easy or accomplishment, ir once sufllclent
publlo Interest can be aroused to demnd
that It shall be done. !' I

Prof. A. O. els Lnpradelle, ex

"Article I. prescribes giving to tn'.ne .

Article VI. permits to those Power

this convention to keep their old materia'

they are moored? The Institute of Inter

may be considered as being the unanimous
expression of the doctrine.
