The hardest lot in life the-w days is to
be a republican who voted for Sherman
at Chicago.
AViien Tascot is really captured the
Chicago detectives will have lost a reg
ular gold mine.
BvE ball is becoming decidedly pop
ular with the English people. No pent
up Utica can contract the powers and
the popularity of America's national
sport.
Since it has been learned that Professor
Arthur T. Hadley voted for Cleveland
last November the republican press of
the state has been less obstreperous in
urging his appointment to the inter
state commerce commission. T'was
ever thus. .
The reason given to Mr Wanamaker
by an applicant for a place now held by
a democrat that the man he wanted to
supersede is a democrat is likely to be a
very common one with similar appli
cants. And it is quite likely, too. to be a
successful one.
The average mugwump seems now to
be lost in admiration for the measured
delay of the administration in "turning
the rascals out." It is'nt at . all likely,
however, that he will live for any great
length of time in the moonshine of his
vain hopes. For hath not President
Harrison himself said that party service
will certainly be no disqualification for
public office under this administration ?
It is not at all probable that Secretary
Tracy can impress the country that we
want a navy equal to those maintained
by the European nations. As a method
of disposing of the surplus, of course the
building and the maintenance of a great
navy would be a success, but this coun
try has no need of competing with
Europe for a vast naval establishment
that is more of an incumbrance than a
benefit. We can stand a better one than
wg have, but we don't need and we don't
want any such a one as Secretary Tracy
believes advisable.
Perhaps the New Britain murder,
coming so swiftly on the rejection by
the house at Hartford of the bill to do
away with hanging in Connecticut, may
be evidence of the wisdom of the action
of the house. Capital punishment may
be regarded as less an exemplification of
the Mosaic law than a deterrent to the
living from the commission of murder.
Possibly, too. if there were a few more
murderers hung in Connecticut, there
would lie less readiness to resort to dead
ly weapons in the arbitration of disputes.
It is likely to be an evil day f r our state
when hanging is played out in Connecti
cut. THK AKM1KS OF KUKOl'E.
An English statistician recently dis
covered that the annual outgo of Europe
for its military system to-day is equiva
lent to SI .750.000.000. If the loss of the
productive labor of the men in arms is
:
added to this sum, the annual expense
would be 2,150,000,000. It was shown
in comparison by the same authority
that the annual expense of the standing
armies of Europe in I860 had been but
$330,000,000. In thirty years' time.there
fore, it is seen that the expense has in
creased three-fold. This great sum is
raised by taxing each nation, and the
taxes fall upon the land and the indus
tries of the people principally upon
their industries. European nations are
thus handicapped, almost to the extent
of the cost of their military equipment,
from competition with a country like
our own.
The advantage of a country where a
standing army is not necessary stands
out in a strong light. In the race of civ
ilization communities as heavily burden
ed as the great European nations are at
present by their military equipment are
at a great disadvantage, and from the
present outlook the disadvantage is con
stantly increasing. The larger the
European expense account grows for this
great unproductive source, the greater
will be the corresponding advantage to
the United States which has its greatest
power in the geographical situation of
the country and the resources of the peo
ple which have enabled them to secure
and maintain their freedom.
SECRET BALLOT.
The friends of the Ilenney form of
secret ballot are hopeful of a unanimous
report in its favor from the judiciary
committee, and feel specially encour
aged by the showing made by its advo
cates at the closing hearing. We should
like to share their conlidence, simply be
cause we would like to see some form of
secret ballot accepted, but we do not
think the Henney bill with all its in
cumbrance of detail is best adapted to
the exigencies of the situation or that it
will so strike either the judiciary co n
mittee or the members of the legisla
ture. The bill contains twenty -one sections
and is loaded down with a mass of de
tail that is likely to make its operation
exceedingly difficult if not impracti
cable. This will furnish an excuse to
to those in the legislature who are op
posed to any kind of secret ballot and
we think there is a very large contin-
gent of such to vote down the measure.
A very much simpler and equally effect
ive measure could be devised, and from
the several bills now before the commit
tee we think a form of ballot could be
arranced that would be better for all prac
tical purposes than the Ilenney bill.
However, even this bill with ail its im
perfections and all its cumbersome de
tails to complicate the casting of votes
would be an improvement, in its possi
bilities of preventing bribery and intim
idation, on the method now in vogue.
As such it would be welcomed by all
who deprecate the scandals that come
from ?he existing system and would
perhaps pave the way for a still more
perfect and practicable system. "We
have very little faith that anv secret
ballot bill that is likely to be effective
will bo adopted by a republican legisla
ture, and especially when that legisla
ture is lisely to be manipulated by such
politicians as Governor Bulkeley who
never could hope under such a ballot for
honors at the hands of a voting con
stituency.
We shall watch with much interest
the course of the Ilenney bill as it seems
to be more in favor than other measures
at the c&pitol. and bv its fate
we may be able to forecast
the probabilities of any secret bal
lot legislation at the present season.
P E RXICI O ITS ACT I V IT V.
When President Harrison proclaimed
that party service would not bo consid
ered a disqualification for public office
he meant to convey the impression
probably, or at least certain events in
dicate this, that pernicious democratic
activity would be an eminent disqualifi
cation. Tho first indication of what
democratic officeholders may espect in
this regard was given on Tuesday.
Representative Pa yson of Illinois made
a test case for presentation to the post
oftice department in order to determine
the question whether offensive partisan
ship would be considered sufficient
grounds for removal. Mr Payson
charged the democratic postmaster of
Pontiac, 111, the town in which he
himself lives, with being a democrat
and an active partisan during the last
campaign, and asked his removal for
that reason alone. Postmaster General
Wanamaker granted it, and sent a nomi
nation of a new postmaster who was
named by Payson to the senate. Pa j son
did this after consultation with several
of his colleagues, and it is understood to
be the rule that will be followed here
after. The authority for this is the re
publican New York Press, which is per
haps as near to the administration as
any republican organ in the country,
not even excepting Russell Harrison's
paper, and the statement of the case
may therefore be accepted as correct.
And the same authority has it that Mr
Clarkson, the assistant postmaster gen
eral, has said that an offensive partisan
rule would go into effect next week it
could not well be promulgated sooner
j owing to the great number of vacancies
to be tilled first.
j It will be seen from this that there is
no thought or intention on the part of
) this godly administration to leave dem
ocratic officeholders in office. When of
fensive partisanship so-called is accepted
j as a disqualification for continuance in
otlLee the rest is easy. There will be no
j difficulty, and there will be less hesita
tion, in writing down all democratic
officeholders as offensive partisans and
so cutting off their heads at one fell
swoop. The officeholders themselves
wil1 Probably not object very seriously
.i.' i l.'.ii.. ; ?
to this there i$ little use in kicking
against the pricks but what they do ob
ject to is the hypocrisy of trying to
make it appear that this administration
is going to be friendly to the cause of
civil service reform. There are plenty
of democratic officeholders like our
own worthy postmaster, for instance
who would have scorned to be offensive
partisans last fall. Partisanship whose
greatest offensiveness consists in decora
ting one's house in honor of a repub
lican parade, and the courtly permis
sion to all men to hold their
own political views, ought not to lie con
sidered sufficiently pernicious to bring
an official into disfavor with an adminis
tration that holds that "honorable party
service is no disqualification for public
office." We would look, could we take
seriously these words of President Har
rison, to the retention in office of our
own postmaster and many' others whose
partisanship like his was of tho harmless
sort. But as they were intended to be
Pickwickian we think officeholders must
go whose partisanship is not of the
twenty-two karat republican variety.
To paraphrase the words of an eminent
American citizen, civil service reform be

On reaching the fourt floor of Mr.

finds himself confronted by a passage,
the walls of which are studded with
mounted horns, under which are a lot of
cages filled wilh s:si birds. Tho horns
are of all kinds and so arranged above
and about tho cages as to remind the

Besides the horns the sanctum contains
a collection of pipes and canes of rare

Mr. on der ettern lias not as yet

on each pair he has attached a ticket
which bears the name of the animal from
which the horns were taken. .The most
striking of tho horns are those of the
elk. One pair of these came from an
Oregon elk, and attached to the horns is
a portion of the skull of the animal,
neatly fitted into a life sized head carved
from wood. Tho horns are nearly as tall
as a man. and it takes a lengthy pair of
arms to be able to span the distance be-

A number's Trick.
The Sanitary News describes a new
plumbers' trick, which has been first dis
covered in Milwaukee, but may bo known
elsewhere, so that architects and inspect
ors will do well to be on their guard
against it. In Milwaukee, as in many
other cities, all . soil pipes put up in
dwelling houses must lie tested by filling
them with water. A certain firm, know
ing that a defective pipe had been used,
conl rivinl to nhiir it with rhv. r- t.bnt
the water applied for testing it did not
enter tho nine at all. It is not statod how
the inspector happened to lind out this
ingenious deception, but he did, and the
offending firm was reported, and pun
ished by having its licenso revoked until
tho defective pipe should lie replaced by'
a new one. Most persons will say that
tho revocation of tho license ought to
have been made permanent. Scientific
