LBTTEH CAR&IERS AND CIVIL SERVICE. Jnst before Mr. Cleveland retired from the Presidency in 18S9 he issued an order extending the civil service rules to the railway niBil clerks. This was as hooey in the honeycomb to the Democrats, and they Bmacked their lips in ghoulish glee. Now, when it is announced that President Harrison will soon issue an order extending the civil service law and rules so as to include all letter-carriers and clerks in free-delivery postoffices the honey tastes like that of worm-wood and gall to the very hungry and Yery thurety. If it works 60 well in the larger offices, we see no reason why it would not apply equally to smaller offices. As Mr. Cleveland is a professional civil service reformer.it is to be expected that he will carry out the jardg*jn^good faith. There are about ten clerks and carriers in theCrawfordsville office .who will stand an equal chance with ten Democrats in the civil servioe examination. Appointments will be made from the list of those who pass an examination before the board, the first being chosen who have the best grades. The rule, if applied in strict ac cordance with the spirit of the law, will

Bhut out a horde of incompetent applicants, and greatly relieve the incoming postmaster from no little trouble, and a great deal of annoyance from "the boyB who work in the trenches,"

BEFORE the election the Review endeavored to show that a Democratic Congress aud a Democratic President had been moro liberal in the way of pensions to Union soldiers than the Republicans had been, and that in case Cleveland should be elected this liberal pol'oy would continue. In this way, it, to gether with Democratic newspapers generally, allayed the fears of many soldiers who had been in the habit of voting the Democratic ticket. Since the election it has changed its tune, and it now demands that the next Congress .- and the coming administration shall undo the work that has been done and reduce the pension list. The war pensions has commenced all along line. ••••••.

CHANGE AND PROGRESS-

SIGNS OF IT IN WABASH 00LLLQE

BY THE A0T10N OF Tfl£ TRUSTEES.

Two New Chairs Established and Filled Sunday Uhapel Abolished—More Money Coming.

When the trustees of Wabash College adjournod last week some of the most important work they did was withheld from the public. To-day President Burroughs iu behalf of the board made known those things. In the first place he announced officially the gift of §5,000 from Mrs. Duhme to found a memorial fellowship in English Language and Literature, the details of whic'j will be determined later.

Why It Failed.

The Misses Goutd, of Fairfield, Conn., have given the interest of SI,000 to establish the John Gould prizes in Biblical Literature to be awarded to the members of the Junior and Senior classes presenting the best theses in that department.

Sunday chapel has been abolished altogether and in its stead students will be expected to attend Center church on Sunday evening or some other church service as they, if of age, or their parents may elect. However, the Sunday evening service at Center church will be the regular students' service and Dr. R. J. Cunningham has been chosen by the trustees as college pastor, a position similar to the one occupied by Dr. Burroughs nt Amherst.

Dr. Cunningham was alBo elected to fill the new chair of Logic and Oratory for the remainder of the college year. He will conduct work in debates with the Junior and Senior classes and will also instruct the Seniors in Moral Science, beginning next year.

The most important step taken by the trustees, however, waB the creating and filling of the new chair of History and Sociology, a department long needed at Wabash. Dr. Charles A. Tuttle has been called to this new chair and it ie understood that his acceptance is expected at an early date. Dr. Tuttle was chosen on the earnest and high recommendation of Dr. Burroughs, who considers him one of the leading thinkers and teachers of the country. He was boru at Hadley, Mass., in 1881, and consequently is about thirty-one years old. He is now associate professor of PoliticalEconimy and Inter-natianalLaw at Amherst. He gratuated from Amherst College in June, 1883, receiving the Woods and Bond prizes: was principal of the high school at Ware, Mass., in 1883-4, studied at Heidelberg University, Germany, 1881-86 pursuing political cconomy, political science and [politics with Karl Kines, "The

Philosopher of the Historical School of Political Economy international law and general constitutional and administrative law with Von Bnlmerincq and Schulze history and institutes of K.iman law with Bekke:- philosophy with Kuno Fischer received from Heidelberg the degree of Ph. D., insigni cum laude, in July, 18SG. in political economy, inter national law, and general constitutional aod administrative law. In September, 1880, he took up his work at Amherst College, where he has since been. Dr. Tuttle has published "The Wealth Concept A Study in Economic Theory, and is a lecturer of marked Buccess on subjects included in his department. He is responsible editor of the department of economic terms for Funk and Wagnall's Standard Dictionary of the English Language and is engaged on a monograph of definitions of funda mental conceptions of political economy for the American Economic Association

He is a member of the council and of the committee on economic theory of the American Economic Association. This is certainly a magnificent record for so young a man and Wabash should be congratulated on securing him. He will not be here until the third term.

Xext term Dr. Burroughs will begin work in Biblical Literature with all the classes. A new system of dealing with absences will also go into effect. Students will be required to notify the faculty when sicknesB makes their absence necessary. They will not be allowed to leave town without permission. One unexcused absence will be allowed with only attention from the class officer, the second will 'be referred to the President, the third will cause a notice to be sent the" parents and the fourth will sever the connection of the student with the college. If a student is absent for fifteen per cent, of his recitations in one term either with or without excuse he will be expelled. Chapel exercises next term will be at 10 a. m. instead of at 8:15.

All the above information was announced at chapel this riiorning by Dr. Burroughs and was well received by the students. The new rules regarding absences will weed out a number of careless students or result in their bracing up considerably.

I PEN, CHISEL AND BRUSH.

Alexander Dumas has sold his house in Paris and will live at a Hue place in the forest of Marly, which he inherited.

M. Alphonsi Daudet, who takes notes for his novels in little memorandum hooks, writes his manuscripts in a fine round hand. "I considcrprosp," said Hugo, "infinitely more difficult than verse. I hate to write prose. 1 passionately love to make verses, and 1 consider that prose is very inferior to verse."

William H. Howe, of St. Louis, formerly a commercial traveler, but- now a successful cattle painter, has eighty-six pictures and sketches on exhibition in that city, with backgrounds from France aud Holland.

Tennyson is credited with once having advised a man to read a verse from the Bible and averse from Shakespeare daily, 'for." said he, *'one will teach you how to speak to God and the other how to address your fellows."

On the stape the tinsel, the glitter, the owder and the paint, show forth the most, jut step behind the scenes, and you will beho'd the truth. The chorus girls are not all ''fancy paints them," but rather what they paint themselves just so with many of the flaming advertisements of so-called "caetrrh cures." Get back of the scenes, and they are not cures. The real one, and the only remedy that is acure, is Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Lift the curtain, and you will find tne naked truth to be, that this Remedy is the one that cures the worst cases of Catarrh in the Head, and no mistake. It is also a remedy in all catarrhal conditions, such as Catarrhal Headaohe. Catarrh of the Throat, etc.
