his first defeat. If so, throw him out on

the inflated nondescript from Wisconsin.

Sujwrintendent Lawlor's instructions to the police not to arrest "drunken workiugmen" is a gratuitous insult to that portion of our citizens. Such an order comes-from one who has little genuine sympathy with workingmen, although the order is an attempt to show sympathy with them.^^___________

The free tradeis are in the lead. They are controlling the democratic conventions and keep out of the platforms any such phrases as "incidental protection which was first used by the Ohio democrats a year ago. They dropped it this year. The Pennsylvania democrats are very timid compared with former utterances, and Mr. Watteison cracks the whip over the heads ot the leaders.

The burden of press comment over the demise of the Chicago Current is not very complimentary to Chicago. It agrees in declaring that the paper was too clean for the locality, and that if it had modeled itself on the Police Gazette style it would ere this have been one of the monuments to which

Chicago would point with pride.—[Indianapo-1 grove) hich makes it rather inconvenient for

Keiley is back and says the United States has been affronted and the nineteenth century insulted. Strange and improbable as it may be still Keiley does not realize that the man who called this government a "bloody usurpation" affronted the United States and insulted the nineteenth century

reasons to believe that Keiley will be a great help to the newspapers these dull times and furnish the republican party with good campaign material. Give him rope.

Judge Thoman, of the civil service com mission, has purchased a $14,000 house id Washington. Ashe is a widower and quite rich, this probably means that he is going to turn his attention to domestic reform also.— [ErahBville Courier.

When Thoman left the judgeship in Ohio to which the democracy had elevated him he was "flat broke" and worse. He has been on the civil service commission only a few years and is now said to be wealthy. Perhaps if he were a republican we would find no such pleasant paragraph about him as the above in the Courier,

In the beginning it was said the president and his cabinet would not take vacations for rest. When the president went on his trip to the mountains, where he has asserted the prerogatives of a czar by giving orders that no sne should be permitted to camp nearer than ten miles of him, it was announced that this was "his •first annual vacation," to last until the first of September. Now -it is said he will not return until the first of October.

This will be his second annual vacation, no doubt, and when he leaves his duties in the holidays that will be his third annual vacation.

Why don't yoa folks give Judge Msok a breeze on his charge that the school teachers are to blame for so mnoh misohieTons idleness among the boys c^the city. Those boys who were up before Judge Mack are not school boys. They don't go to school when school is in session. There are about 500 of them in the city growing up to be bad and troublesome citizens.

The above is from a communication received by the Exptess. We do^ not know whether the' boys brought before Judge Mack attend the public) schools, but it is undoubtedly true, as our correspondent says, that hundreds of boys, and girls too, do not and

will not

go to school. Thtir parents do not take enough interest in them to "see that they get the benefit of the free schools.

Here there is room for the missionary. Perhaps that is Judge Mack's idea—to require the school teacher to be missionary also.

It is one of the peculiarities of the civil service reform polioyyof tho present administration that it encounters most difficulty in the New York custom house, where a republican achninistiation had no trouble whatever to secure a thorough compliance with tho Pendleton law, even in the heat and burden of a presidential campaign.— [Globe-Democrat.

There is a strong point in the above, one that improves with consideration. President Arthur entereJ into the spirit of the civil service law with a quiet enthusiasm. Where executive decision was' required or rules needed tx? enforce the law he invariably gave the reform idea the benefit. Some of those rules have since been revoked to gratify party demand for office. With President Arthur there was a zealous effort to give the law a fair and just trial, and the result was gratifying to all but professional reformers, who are most unhappy when

HOODWINKING REVENUE OFFICERS.

Some Results of Wholesale Changes in the Internal Revenue Service.

There is good ^Washington Special.

Swineford, of Michigan, appointed to be governor of Alaska, turns up short in his accounts as United States commissioner for Michigan at the New Orleans Exposition. A Dr. Hire, appointed medical pension examiner, secured the place on forged recommendations, a -fact just discovered by General Black. P. H. McNamara, the new postmaster for Ishperping, Mich., can't take the place because he took $1,000 belonging to other people and decamped a month ago. Turn the rascals in.

In one issue of a sensational daily in a neighboring city, not long since, we counted half a dozen specials from Vincennes telling of oae kind of petty devilment and another. The garbage gatherer at that place ought to be suppressed by the decent citizens. He is giving Vincennes a nasty and wicked reputation abroad.—fEvansville Journal.

His latest feat was the telegraphing from Vincennes as Associated Press news a story about the Vorhis murder, which appeared as a special from Winchester in the Indianapolis Journal. He is undoubtedly the prince of sensationalists.

Since March 4, there, have been more dismissals of officers in the internal rev enue service in proportion to the num ber employed than in any other branch of the public service. So far as the changes of internal Revenue officials wore con cerned, public attention has been directed mainly to the collectorfhips, nearly all of I

which have been placed in the hands of active democratic partisans, and the "clean sweep" which has been in progress among the minor officers and employes has not provoked much comment. And yet these subordinates— deputy collectors," gaugers, storekeepers, etc.—are the eyes and hands of the internal revenue service, and upon their intelligence, experience,' fidelity and honesty the faithful enforcement of the law and the honest collection of the revenues very largely depend. These men constitute a small army of about 3,000 men. Within the last five months, nearly all the men of experience, capacity, and tried and approved integrity have been dismissed and their places filled with inexperienced men, whose fidelity has never been tested and who have been appointed because they are active democratic partisans, who are "very hungry and very thirsty." It is not surprising,

revenue has begun already te give treasury officials much concern, nor to hear I almost daily of some successful attempt to defraud the revenue. Neither is it remarkable to hear that most of these attempts are based upon stale tricks, discovered and exposed years ago and which are revived now simply because of the apparent ease with which new and inexperienced officials can be hoodwinked. There is another feature which marks the inefficiency of the new regime. In a number of the southern states the "infernal" revenue system, as it is styled, is the object of the most bitter hostility and its officers have been equally hated and' feared as personal enemies by the democrats of those regions. In the south hundreds of men have adhered to the democratic party simply becouse a I majority of the internal revenue officers were republicans now those officers are democrats and already a marked increase is reported in the quantity of "moonshine" whisky distilled. This again is not surprising when it is remembered that the collection of the internal tazes in the south is now in the hands of I men who have been educated to regard the internal revenue laws as harsh, unjust and tyranical, and the successful evasion of or resistance to them as worthy of high praise.

rendo jury pass on his mental condition, his delusion being that he was very rich. A lawyer proceeded to ask the crazy man questions to test his sanity. "I hear' you are going to build a $50,000 residence." "It is going to cost $60,000." "You don't say so." "Yes, and I am going to start a daily paper with $250,000 capital. That's a mere trifle for a man of my means." "You seem to have so much money, perhaps you would not object to lending me a thousand dollars?" "I'd like to do it, judge, but that would be such a risky investment, everybody would suspect me of being crazy."

The refusal of the supposed lunatic to seriously entertain the idea of lending money to an Austin lawyer, caused the jury to decide that Sam was in full possession of his mental faculties.

Over 100 ladies and gentlemen were present. The flow of colored light among the shrubbery and white dresses flitting over the grass reminded one of the fairy tales of olden times. Soft music came at intervals from the parlors of the hospitable mansion, and every body seemed happy and joyful. A tent full of merry girls telling fortunes was an attraction of the evening.

He Had a Purpose in Life". A ragged, half-grown colored boy, says the Philadelphia Times, sat one afternoon on the end of a log that projected out over the Delaware river at the Walnut street pier and dropped his fishing hook into the water.

A Big Fish Story.

New York Sun. General Parsons, aged 77, lives between Sinclairville and Bemus Point, on Chattanooga Lake. A short while ago he rowed out on

the lake to troll for pickerel.

After capturing several^ fine ones he hooked one that it took him half an hour to conquer. He landed it in his boat without any aid. It was_ over four feet long and weighed over thirty pounds. He subsequently hooked another very large one, which he lost Then he went home. The disappointment he felt after losing the last nsn was so keen that it was with difficulty that he could be induced to go to bed that night without going to the •lake again and trying to capture the lost fish He finally retired, but at midnight arose. "There is no use talking," he said, "I can't sleep until I get that pickerel."

His determination was so strong that his family could not restrain him. He went back to the lake, rigged up his tackle, and/began trolling in the dark. A half-hour afterward he returned home wiih a twenty pound pickerel. "There's die cunning old rascal," said the general, placing the big fish on the kitchen table. "He couldn't sleep, either,

Heavy Rainfalls.

New Xork Tribune. A dispatch from China the other day

lost or not, but he firmly believed that I !r. .JLi «w lit* hm destructive rainfall in one of the provinces of the middle kingdom. It was stated that 10.22 inches were precipitated in twenty-four hours, with the result of flooding large tracts and doing much damage. What a fall of ten inches twenty-four hours means may be realized from the fact that one inch of rain gives 100 tons of water per acre, or 60,000 tons to the square mile. Ten inches, therefore, gives 1,000 tons of water to the acre, and 600,000 tons to the square mile. Yet the

account of a very heavy and

Chinese rainfall referred to is by no means in the front rank of such occurrences. For instance, Arsgo reports that on October 9, 1827, no less than 30.9 inches of rain fell in twenty-two hours at Joyeuse. That was three times the Chinese precipitation, and consequently leached 3,000 tons to the acre, and 1,800,000 tons to the square mile. Again, on October 25,1836, a watenpout broke over Gibraltar, and 30.11 inches of water fell. This is nearly two-thirds of the average annual rainfall of New York.

No such fall has ever been recorded in England, though the rate of it was approached pretty closely on August 1,1846, when 3.12 inches fell in two hours in St. Paul's churchyard. This was a ^ery heavy rain for the locality, for at London a fall of more thsn 1 inch in twenty four hours is rare. In the west of England, howeve*, the precipitation is much more abundant, 'lhns, on July 14, 1875, in Monmouthsliire, 5.36 inches fell in ,wenty-four hours, and on June 30,1881, at Seathwaite, 4.80 inches fell in the same space of time. The average annual rainfall at the last named place, indeed, is 154 inches—a record not to be matched elsewhere out of the tropics. We sometimes think

"I Was to a Clam Bake."

Brooklyn Eagle. A well dressed young man sat dozing in one of the rear seats of the Supreme court this morning. He awoke occasionally, and tried vainly to appear interested in the ex parte business before Judge Pratt, but invariably succumbed to the assaults of Morpheus after very

slumberer, when the court was startled by hearing in high tenor, "For he's a jolly good fellow." Then there was a brief pause, and as the vocalist was commencing a refrain, fa-la-la," he was yanked out of his seat by a court officer and dS posited in the corridor, where he finished with a flourish of "la-la" and a yawn. "Excuse me," he said to the officer. "I forgot where I was. I was to a clam bake yesterday."

The Business Outlook

New York World. Commission men who move the great bulk of dry goods are all cheerful now. Stocks of goods had been piling up although production was considerably curtailed. Now, however, they are fast being depleted. The people of the country generally have been economizing for several years, but good crops and activity in business in differerent sections have encouraged them to make purchases which they would not make if times were "hard." A World reporter found it to. be'the general opinion among the commission men that trade had an encouraging outlook.

The Latest Cut.

Boston Record. A youngster of 5 was sent to the nearest barber shop to have his hair cut. "How do you want it cut?" asked the barber "all mowed off for the summer?" "No, I want it cut with a hole in it, like papa's."

though several places do their best* to emulate Cherraponga. The Western Ghauts of India come next, with Mahabulashma, which has a respectable record of 260 inches. Next again comes Buitenzey in Java, with 160 inches, and Sea thwaite, England runs it close with 154 inches. Bergen, in Norway, Sitka, in Alaska, Valdivia, in southern Chili, and a place in New .Zealand follow, while Maranhao, in Brazil, holds its own very stuidily. It appears that an elevation of about 4,000 feet above the sea level aflords the most favorable conditions (other things being equal! for the heaviest precipitation, for that is the height of both Cherraponga and Mahabulashma.

In the so called "cloud-buists" which occur on the western plains the precipitation is probably as heavy as that ot the Gibraltar waterspout cited above, though no record has, we believe, yet been obtained of such phenomena.^ It is also somewhat curious that though-exception-ally severe storms seems at times to disturb the record, the result of sixty years of observation shows that the annual average in these eastern states remain constant, and that we have neither more nor less rainfall on the whole than our grandfathers had.
