Senator Allen is a conspicuous example of the fellow that didn't know il was loaded.

The original Kldndyke discoverer is now beginning to flourish like a green bay tree.

For some curious reason Weyler isn't Winning even typewriter victories howadays.

And it develops that all that talk about Colonel Hamid:'s holy war was wholly smoke.

It is rather uhf&fth'nate that the Dingley bill does not contain a prohibitive duty on Thomas Bayards.

Candidate Chapman Of Ohio believes in the free and unlimited coinage of bogus sympa^ thy for the rtiifters.

Most people can make at least a slight draft upon their bounty in behalf of the striking coal miners.,

the Atlanta Commefctal favors lynching and it appears to be molding the sentiment of the south ofi this question.

With silver going down And everything else going up the prospects are that the Popocrats will be driven to drink.

Nebraska has an enormous Wheat crop and the hum of the thresher is a great deal liiore musical than free silvef chatter.

The Atchison Globe remarkis that "Bryan stork is not worth a cent oil the ddliaf." And the Bryan dollar is worth only about 45 cents.

John R. McLean believes ih free silver as a Popocratic campaign cry but he care^ fully insists that obligations due him shall be paid in gold.

Marquis Ito says Japan has tio thought of •war with the t'nited States and rational people will readily admit thit "the marquis is probably sincere.

Governor Pingree of Michigan does not like the new tariff. Well, a specialist in potatoes isn't supposed to know much about economic questions.

From this distance it would appear that in ateetnpting to throttle free speech in \Vest Virginia the mine owhers are biting oft more than they can chaw.

If Mexico adopts the gold standard before the Hen. William Jennings Eryan gets there he will hiVe a better ch&nee than ever to learn something about the money question.

gjt-Pfesiderii Andrews Of firoWn Universty is understood to be too fair a man to insist upon fife retention 5h a flosltioh where he is out of harmony With those Who sustain the place.

if the Spaniards carry out their threats to attack the United States consulate at Havana Uncle Sam will show thetn a wrinkled front Such as they have never seen. And ihinps won't stop with the exhibition of the front, either.

Now it is announced by the enterprising neWsgatherer that Emperoi William is also against us on the Hawaiian annexation oroposition. this probably isn't true but if ii is Uncle Saui's programme will not be altered in the least.

Now that price 6f Wheat has gone up undet* a iiepublicdn administration the free silver fellows are complaining that it has not reached $2 a bushel. It is at least sell.ng for 8S t-3 per cent more than it sold 'or Under a democratic administration.

Popbcrfttlc Chalftiian Jones thinks McKinley has been drawn into the financial scheme advocated by him through the subtle diplomacy 6f the gbld Democrats. Joiies has a Sharp wit for the ulterior and the devious. His lunacy is of exactly the right sort to fashidh fefth the mOnster known as the money power.

WILL SlLVErtlfES LIKE It? It is feared that the Democracy of Maryland* assembled Under the yoke of Senator Gorman, has disappointed the Untamed element of the free silver party. Senator Gorman and his men are not very "stout" oh the white metallist proposition. They are much more cautioufe atid- prudent than magnificent. The Hon. William Jennings Sryan could have Wished that their impetuous spirits would have swept them headlong into ah unconditional demand, vociferously voiced, for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.

But no such thing befall. The Maryland state convention of the Democracy was far from a White metal love fe«t. the free afflatus did not affile. There were nd crfrwtie Of thorns Of etwees of gold mlsed up in the proceedings. To be sure, t£« &ingley bill was dehoune^d and the eon^

Lack of confidence in liepuhlicahisni, its alleged arrogahee and "rtckfts ftHeftotei factiily. fof mtBirepihe-i tenting the people—all these things wei*e duly and diligently set fbrth, but oh the "question of money they declared simply Por bimetallim and %ven went so fur as to Mat that Ihey might lake some stock in the assumed desirability of having the aid and consent of some ©tire* nations.

It Will be a hard blow to Mr. Bryaft and those who see the money question through fete eyes. They will mourn over the foolish faith of the Maryland Democrats in the idea that discretion is the bfettet part Of viator. They will deplore the absence Of oratorical .pyrotechnics and extravaganza. They will note the silence &f the platform on the adored sectional a'M socialistic features of the Bryanistic philosophy and will refuse to be comforted.

This world is growing sadder and sadder for thfe Popocrats. Wheat Is going up when they Want it to stay down. The hay harvest is phenomenal and millers are threatening to pay 30 cents a bushel for corn. Industries everywhere are beginning to revive and down from the Klnhdyfce and thfe austere areas of Alaska is going to flow a yellow Mississippi of gold. It is all too baH for Popocrats as such, but fortunately it ife good for them as it is for ail the rPet Of us as citizens of the first republic of the world.

Besides that, the soil in this country is newer and more productive, and can be renewed by fertilizing with the pulp of the beet, or by rotating with clover, While in Germany it must be renewed with prosphates. Major Steele has sent sugar beet seed to every county in his district, ahd the reports Be has received show good results, atid an enthusiastic interest in this new industry, with which it is proposed to diversify production.

iS{ec^ai to the trhicasft fvthnh^. New York, July 2$.—Threte hundred passengers who arrived oa the steamship Majestic today were the !r%t to teel thfe SfeVerities olf the new Dingley Ihw as applifed to Americans from «broad. All foreign clothing ahd other personal effects which thfey brought ffhlih Europe, if vilufed at Jhotne thin $100, were subject to duty.

One of the thief sufferers wte Commodore Gerry, Whb had to pay $250. Morrife K. ^e«sup had to pay $170 on property which he declared he had taken abroad with hito from this country. Thfe duties collected fr&ffi the Majestic's passengers iHi&whtfed in all to $3,500.

A great crowd was at thfe dock to greet them, ahd the mahy distinguished foreigners oh hoard Smiled complacently ate they gazed at the Sight. They had hfeard hoW Americans worship at the shrine Of a strange? from a strange lahd, ahd they opined that celebration had been got tip ift hbhor of their arrival. But the crowd was there to see that everythifig wa's t&xfed at its proper high rate.

At quarantine the Majestic fras i&et#by Customs Collector George ft. feidwell ahd trnitfed States Surveyor Maguire. T^hey wfere ib charge of sixty inspectors from the custom house—twice as many as have been necessary to look into incoming effects before. There was an average of one inspector to every five passengers, and in addition to this twelve efrtra examiners from the appraiser's

were present to see that nothing was overlooked. Every bit of Baggage had to be examined, and the delay thus dc6isidBed cr&ftted lib end of annoyance ahd vexation. I'he pa^ehgers crowded ofte another in their efforts to have their baggage gone over first, afld COhtUsibn reigned. iDlhgley and his bill came ih for veheifcfeht aha Uhmlstaktble denunciatioh dh every hand, the air Was bluer thafa the Salt witter of the Ocean, but the protectants finally decided that there was hdthihg to do but grin ahd bear it. And this all were feventually compelled to do.

Ex-Mayor Grace, who was on the dock io meet his brother, denounced the new tari# law in unmeasured terms. He declared that it was a contemptible act on the part of any hition to pry into and tax its own Subjects bn such necessary goods as clothing and the like, and to virtually decrfee just how many suits Or dresses a ihan or woman is entitled to possess.

Elbridge T. Gerry, as he stepped down the gangplank, looked the picture of health. His hearty laugh betokened good spirits, He would hot allow even the delay in having his baggage inspected ruffle him, and the excommodore had fOrty trunks.

Ataioftg the first of those on board td come forward On thfe way up the bay Was a stout man With ah atmosphere of importance surroundihg him. "The bingley law has gone* iftto effects" said the inheritor. "AB," said the passenger, "i am glad to hear that. I am a hepubiican, and I believe in protection, But do not come under thd hew 14W fbr I put all fliy motley ihto clothe ittg for myself artd my wi£e. hid $1,000 with me, ahd I got etiOUgh clothes to last me a year or so.

"That makes no difference*" explained the importer. "You said $L000 that makes—" "Hold On. You made a mistake. Let me see, I said Only $100."

A compromise was finally effected. The last man to escape from the clutches of the custom house Officials Was a short, heavy-set individual wearing a light suit, straw hat, and sporting a little bUnch of red whiskers on his chin. He had been overhauling his "luggage" contained in thrfee large trunks and six smaller ones. On each piece of baggage ift large and impressive type appeared: "Hoh. iBenj. Willsofi, Idaho."

The Hon. Benjamifi was once defeated fdr goverbor .of his chosen state, hetice thfe "H6hi"

He Was very iddigflant 4t the opefatlofis of the new tariff, and seht Up a Wail that might have been heard ift Washington Wfiefl he Was compelled to pay $2o extra duty Oh his clothes.

THE CIVIL SERVICE RULES.

Results of the Changes Made By the President's Order. Special to the Indianapolis KfiWS.

Washington, July 29.—it is rtoW positively known that the president offered to make! Carl Schurz president of the Civil service commission and that the latter declined it. there is a rumor afidfit now that Mr. Schura Will go as minister to flusgia, to succeedi Breckinridge, of Arkansas, it is the getieral verdict ef the civil service advacates that the president's order yesterday extending and str#figthehiflg the civil service WSe exactly right, hut it can not fail to cause pangs of aiSabPOlHtmettt to the advocates ef a re* turn t§ the spoils system. F'or some time past it has been persistently asserted, artd by some persdHs Who were stiffposea to b# Close to the president, that as soon as congress adjourned he would remove many of the barriers erected under the civil service law that prevent the appointment of persona to office as a reward for partisan services.

The Otle weak point that has prevailed In the civil service system has been the ease With Which the persons ift the service could he removed Without the assignment of any cAUse for the removal. The order issued yesterday strikes directly at this abuse, ahd, hereafter, in the language Of the executive order. "nO removals shall be mede from any position subject to Competitive examination except for Just cause ftfid upon written charges, filed with the head of the department, or other appointed officers, ot which the Accused shall have full notice and an opportunity to make defense." ths issuance .of the order materially adds to ihei completeness of the civil service system, ahd its rigid enforcement will not Only inSursi protection to faithful employes, but wilt be Of vast benefit to the public service.

There ha* beeh no more persistent and consistent advocate of the civil service system than President McKinley, and his order to-day may be taken as a guarantee that there will be no backward steps in this par-, iieuiar reform during his term of office. The dfder of to-day Wtempui from examination a few importafit officers, whose relations to the chiefs of departments aft intimate and confidential, extends the classified servlca to all customs house*, without regard to the number of clerks employed, and places safegflards arouild the entire classified service! that will prevent reductions in grade and removals of persons without good and sufficient cause, which must be established by Competent testimony, and with full opportunity to the accused official for presenting fleferee

Lincoln, Neb., July 29 —The leaders of ths silver party in Nebraska for the last three mohthS have been manifesting much uneasiness concerning the lecture business of Mr.' Aryan. A conference of the leading spirits was held here recently, and it Was decided that something must be done at once if Mr. Bryan Is ever to make another presidential race. The plan as Adopted was that he should be written to come home at once for the fall campaign, as his services Were needed to elect the Populist state ticket* then to groom him for governor on the fusion ticket next fall, and gradually turn him from his present route into a position where he can make a dignified race ih 1900 for the presidential. chAir.

One *'ho Was present at the council said: "it would appear that the interest is lesS®B» ihg in the silver issue daily All 0V6r the country, and if Mr. Bryan keeps on he will have nothing to tell ih the next campaign*. The worst sign of the lack of interest ih siU ver is the failure of farmers to Attend thft county conventions, they iflSist they Are too busy to attend, and laugh At our advice th^t they should keep up the party orgahllatiohS as they began immediately after the last campaign closed."
