When Sir Charier Kuselt ami bU eolleaftoes finished their statwmenta to the court and walked out Of the room, they were followed by three-fourth of the spectator pre tent, for whom the further procee4lng of (he cnwiuUtflon had lost all interest. Jlr.

It U not likely, however, that thU piece of malice on the part of the Attoniey-tioa-eral will be of any avail. The ceremony at JCdinburgh will prove too good an opportunity for a caustic arraignment of the oinmigaioB by the Parnllites. and though Mr. Parnell himself may be legally estopped from criticising a court before which he b. by this trick, kept as a witne, there will be nothing to prevent his giving utterance to his indication through any one of the Irish orators who wilt accompany him on his trip. Whatever Mr. Parnell has to say cn that oceasion of the commission, will be said by Mr. Justin McCarthy or Mr. William O'Bries, bnt it will be well uaderstood by alt concerned that though the voice is the voice of Jacob the hand will be the hand of Esau.

He is bard at work trying to effect a fusion between the two factions who are holding separate Socialist congresses, but his prospects for success are by no means brilliant. Notwithstanding the honeyed word) with which the Frenchman La Farcue welcomed the Gernttn delegate iu the Murxite Congress Monday, and his utterances that the French lion and the Herman lamb were all ready to lie down together, considerable friction has already developed between the German and the French Socialists now in Paris, and it is by no means as clear as M. La Fargne would have us believe tnat all national prejudice have been left nt home. The refusal of the Germans to take part in the deliberations of the Poetttbilists and their obstruction of the efforts of English and French Socialists to bring abwt a fusion, occasions considerable feeling against them.

Near the corner of Page and Union avenntw, within a burt distance of the spot where poor Anna Weiss Was murdered, was found the body of a murdered man. The body wa found lying fare downward with a bullet hole in the head about uvo inches behind tha left 2e.J Within few feet of him was found a wUtol. All Urn circumstances ummtidlag th'i K tir indicate that it was a case of fmd, cold-blooded murder nnd not a snicide.

The hair o the victim's head was closely cut and slightly tinged with gray. There wits not the slightett Indication of its having been singed or blackened with powder, as would havo bean the caso if the man had shot himself. Superintendent of tho Morgue Praedlcow, after examining the wound, said that It plainly showed tliat the mm was shot from some little dUtnnce. The man'.s vest and shirt were both cut

The performance had hardly begun when one-third of the seats on the entire west side of the tent gave way nnd with 0 people fell with n crash.

The performance had just been resumed wlseu half of the reserved seat section with '200 more spectators fell iu. This created a panic, and it wa.s witn much difficulty that order was restored without serious injury to more people It was found that the support of the seats in the wet ground had been forced downward by overcrowding, thus causing tlie collapse. In the second accident uo one was seriously hurt, but many were slightly cut and bruised. Those badlj injured are: Peter Fahy, aged fourteen, of Mllforil; thigh broken.

The Treasury Department lias decided to allow the ap neal of the importers oa certain steel plate shavings imported at Philadelphia and duty assessed at the rate of three tenths of a ceut a pound, and claimed by the importers to be dutiable at forty-five per cent, ad valorem. The merchandise in question, upon examination, was found to consist of pieces of steel cut from boiler plates in the manufacture ot the plates.

HARRISON AND REFORM. Hew Maine's Mimmw Has Violated Hie MulHHljr-Ms4 FledK. The SL IahiIi Civil-Sorvioe Reform AMOointion numbers among its ortieers suoh prominent Hepubllcnns aa Messrs. John H. Henderson. Henry llitohcook anil Kmil Preetorlus. We eongratutate these gentlomen on the high sense of duty which hns led the association to express its disapproval of tha Harrison Administration. Th statlstie collated by the association and published in th minimi report' of Us executive committee show that while the average rut of change in tho fourth-class poat-oMce wai only 4 par cent, gretttor under Cleveland thnn under Arthur, tho Harrlnon AdrainU' ti ation is mukinif elmngos at tho rate of 7iT par cent, n year, or from 1,000 to 1,000 a week. Tho highest rat of changes heretofore in any single yea-, as the association shows, "was in the year ending: J 30. 18S6, when it was SC per cent.: but tho average rate under Cleveland was 22 1-3 pur cent.; under Arthur, IS per cohL; under Hayes, IU per cent.; under Grant's second administration, 19 per cent, under Grant's first, 18; per cent-, and lu the II rat year of Grant's about i'5 per cent." It must bo remembered In considering tho figures that Mr. Cleveland found the service entirely partisan. There wore no Democrats in it, yet on averaging the changes made during' his four years, it appears that there is only a small percentage of difference between the average of changes made by him in order to restore tho equilibrium in the service and the average made by Republican Presidents In arranging their administration machines. While this comparifcou is highly creditaVo to Mr. Cleveland, it is a strong condemnation of Mr. Htn rison, who in a riot of spoiU bo.sism displaced 11.000 fourth-class postmasters from March 4 to June 10. "Who then is responsible for this state of affairs?" asks the association, and in answering its own question it says: . It may be said that Mr. narriioa can sot have personal knowledge ot all the change In the vast number ot office under the Government, and that na oaa not be held accountable for every act of hi subordinate!. And this is true. Vet there it a homely fsihion aaioa:

the American people ef holding the President responsible for the general conduct ot the. aJralnlstrat'oa la all us departments, and of looking-lo hm as the authoritative head to correct all abuses. Ia this uptrit we may well atlt of the President that he put a check upon this headsman in his work of official decupltst. tlon, aud that his subordinates may be Riven te understand, as he himself hat formally deolsred, that "only the interests ot the jubilc service should suggest removals from office," and that. In appointments to every grade and department, Htnets and not party serv.ee should be the essential and discriminating test, and fidelity and eftloleaey the only sure tenure of office. Wo aro confident that General Hen derson will fully agree with us when we assert that the President is rightly to be held responsible for this demoralization. General Henderson, in the early days of the Administration, went to the White House and remonstrated against the President's policy of delegating to Vocal bosses the Executive authority to select public servants under the different departments. The remonstrance was useless. President Harrison has a deputy in every Congressional district in the country, and all those deputies are activoly co-op erating with him in using the offices in an attempt to control State polities from the District of Columbia. If the Administration has done thin while it was new ia power and whlw the pledges it had made were stilt fresh, what can General Henderson or any other friend of good government and efficient service expect of It. now that all its pledges have been indecent ly violated and the worst combination of bosses effected that the world ever saw?

In their campaigns tho favorite argument of the friends of a high tariff has been the statement that pro tection increases the wages of work men, and its absence acted with tho opposite cffecL Such theories they havo preached from one end of tho land to the other, and they havo often found it effective with people who do not care to investigate for themselves and discover the falsity of such a con elusion. England is the highest type of a low UrifT -untry, and it has not yet be come generally known in the United State that wages are advancing greatly there, accompanying the steady improvement of trado in all parts of the United Kingdom, This has been accomplished no quietly that little public attention, has been at tracted to the matter, even in (treat Rritaln herself. During the latter part of last year the coal miners of Lancashire. Yorkshire and the mid land countios of England obtained an advanco in wages of ten per cent Some time ago they asked for another ad vance of tho same proportion, and. after a llttlo delay, It was conceded thorn that they should have an in crease of five pur cent, tho first of this month, followed by live per cent, os top of that at the first of October, 1 hose suUsiactory conditions are not confined to the coal miners of Great Rritaln, but iron-workers, ship builder and om ploy os in all kinds of manufactories nre rejoicing in an in cruase ot wages.

Cemmissiener Tanner's Nepotism. Tanner has excited some opposition In Congressional circles, also, for having so many of his relatives ap pointed to office. He hue had one of his daughters appointed confidential secretary to succeed tho dismissed aqutres. Jtie daughter is a young lady just out of the Rrooklyn schools, and It may be fairly assumed, as Is charged by Congressional people and by pension attorneys, that she is not competent to perform the important duties of this position. She knows nothing about the routine business of the Pension Office. The position ot confidential secretary fs an important one. That official, as the present ad ministration ot tho Pension Rureau sho ws, has often acted for the Com tnissioner himself. Thl Squires did, and it is hardly to be assumed that a young girl is competent, without pre vious training, to fill this place.

Lesson Facts Samuel was growing eld, being at the time of our lesson seventy years of age. Twenty years had elapsed since the events of tha last lessor. They had been years of considerable prosperity. Hitherto the people had been governed directly by God through the medium of judges or prophets. The example of surrounding nations, however, proved contagious, and at last the people wanted a king like the nations around them. The immediate occasion of this request- for a king was the misrule of Samuel's two sons. This ted the elders to assemble and ask of Samuel that some ntting man should bechoen as their permanent king. God told Samuel to hearken to tho request of the people, but to warn them that it would not be at all to their advantage tf they had a king; for the burdens that a king would lay on their shoulders would be far heavier than any thing that they had yet been called upon to bfar. The argument of the aged prophet was in vain, however; for the people were bent on having their own way, as we see from the sequel of the lesson. (Compare this lesson with I Kings 12:1-11.) fa) A Waoxo HBQi'nsT--Thatit was wrong is evident from the way in which God responds nt the first. Ii involved a lack of trust in God's method of governing them. If Samuel's sons were evil, the way out of the difficulty did certainly not he In the direction of a monarchy. Any one could havo told them that. The fact was that they were weary of seeming to be at a disadvantage as against the showy monarch ies around them.

To human reason it would seem almost as though God would have done better to deny them out and out, and punish them for witfultR-ss. But we must never forget that God always treats men, not as machines, but as free agents. So Ho treated Israel. In thit way they km sped many a leson, both in the desert and in Canaan, which otherwise it would have been impossible to teach them. Rev. A. F. SchaufSer. i'kacticai. scooestioxs.
