We take it. from the winding up
clause of Mr. Cleveland's letter, that
applications tor office which through
the activity of applicants in getting
names have been numerously signed,
will weigh but little with him when
making appointments. The wotid
moves, and in a couple of months or I
so we shall know more than we now
do.
An exchange says; A negro editor
in Now York proposes that the ne
groes of the country raise a fund for
General Grant and beheads the list
with sl. The General has recently
refused to accept a pension from the
government and we should therefore
judge that be was not suffering for
the necessaries of life. The colored
editor had better keep his sl.
The strike of the street car drivers
at New Orleans has upset the pleas
ure seekers and business people of
that, city most awfully. The carmen
not only refuse to work themselves
at the prices offered, but they will not
permit others to work. This is ail
wrong—worse than merely wrong—it
is critniiial. If moo are not willing
to work at prices offered they can say
so, and move along to other fields of
employment, but they have no right
to prevent others from working. And
th< y can claim no justification in
breaking and damaging property. If
nothing else will stop the violence of
such lawless gangs, the Gatlin guns
should bo drawn out. Public order
should be preserved,
CIVIL HS.KVICK UI.KOKM VI. LOAVEw
The Republican office holders are
realizing I he fact that the end of their
official life is rapidly approaching,
and that the good places that they
have so long enjoyed are passing
away from them, to be put into other
hands. To check the operation of
the decree of fate, Mr. George Wil
liam Curtis, and other prominent in
dependent Republicans who co ope
rated with the Democratic party in
the election of Mr. Cleveland have
addressed him a letter on the subject
of Civil Borvloe Ret or m, and mildly
intimate a hope that he will not be
proscriptive in the matter of offices.
They know their old party and par
tisans have nothing to hope from a
Democratic President on a dead level
of merit, and hence they full back
behind tlio “Civil Bet vice” for refuge.
But ii those gentlemen really huve
the couiideuce in Mr. Cleveland that
they profess to have why aid they
show such a desire to get between
him aud his party? But we copy
here Mr. Cleveland's answer, and let
all the anxious brethren, whether
“ins ’ or “outs’’ get whatever com
fort they may from it.
Albany, N. Y. December 25,1884
To Hou. Geurge Wm. Curtis. Presl
dent, &c: Dear bit—Your communi
cation dated December 20, addressed
to me on behalf ot the national civil
service reform league, has been re
ceived. That practical relorrn in the
civil service is demanded is abund
antly established by the tact that the
statute referred to in your communi
cation to secure such a result has
been passed in Congress with the as
sent of both political parties and by
the lurther fact that the sentiment
is generally prevalent among pa
triotic people calling tor a fair
and honest eulorcement of the
law widen has been thus en
acted. 1 regard myself pledged
tothls, because my conception of the
true Democratic lalth and public duty
requires that mis aud all other stat
utes should be in good faith and
without evasion entoroed, and be
cause it! the many utterances made
prior to my election as President, ap
proved by the party to which I be
long, and which 1 have no disposition
to disclaim, 1 have tn effect promised
the people that this should bo done.
I am not unmindful of the fact to
which you refer, th it many of our
citizens fear that the recent, party
change in the national executive may
demonstrate that the abuses which
huve grown up In the civil service ate
ineradicable. 1 know that they are
deeply rooted and that the spoils
system has been supposed to bo in
timately rein ed to success in the
maintenance of party organization,
and I am not sure that all those who
profess to be friends of this reform
will stand firmly among the advo
cates when tiny And it obstructing
their way to patronage aud place ;but
fully appreeia.iug the trust commit
ted to my charge, no Buch considera
tion shall cause a reluxation on my
part of an earnest effort to enforce
this law.
There is a class of government
positions which are not within the
letter of the civil service statute, but
whhh are so disconnected with the
policy of an administration that the
removal therefrom of the present in
cum bents, in my opinion, should not
be made during the terms for which
they were appointed, solely on parti
san grounds and for the purpose ot
putting in their places those who
are in political accord with the ap
pointing power; but many now hold
ing such positions have forfeited all
just claim to reten ion because they
have used their places for party pur
poses iu disregard ot their duty to the
people, ard because, Instead of being
decent public setvants, they have
proved t hemselves offensive partisans
and unscrupulous manipulators of
local party management. The lessons
otgbe p .st should be unlearned, and
such officials, us well as their suc
cessors, should be taught that
efficiency, fitness and devotion
to public duty are the condi
tions ot their continuance in public
places,and that a quiet and uoobstru
atve exercise ot individual political
rights is a reasonable measure of
their party service, if 1 were address
ing none but party friends I should
deem it entirely proper to remlno
them that though the coming admin
istration is to be Democratic, due re
gard for the people’s interest does not
permit faithful party work to be
always rewarded by appointment to
office, and to say to them that while
the Democrats may expect all proper
consideration, selections for offices
not embraced within civil service
rules will be based on sufficient en
quiry as to fitness instituted by those
charged with that duly, other than
upon the persistent importunity of!
self solicited recommendations on
Behalf of candidates for appointment.'

a number of inmatea were buried m the
ruins. Many fiersons were killed and a large
number were wounded. Thowe who encajMid
without injury de*ortod their homes and
camped in the open piarea and fields outside
the town. The refugees were huddled around
bonfires, which were kept burning au night,
the weather being colder than usual, nearly
all having fled so hastily they neglected to
provide themselves with heavy clothing,
Fainter shocks occurred during the night,
which increased the alarm of the people, pre
venting them from seeking shelter in build
Ings.
To-day large gangs of men are at wurk
among the ruins of wrecked buildings, search
ing for dead bodies. Already a number have
been recovered. Many more are known to
be buried in the debris.

ing. etc., for the sufferers, and a subscription
list has been opened for their relief
In Madrid the damage was slight, hut was
sufficiently felt to frighten the inhabitants.
All places of amusement were quickly
emptied, the performance being brought to
an abrupt close.

“A HEAVENLY RECRUIT."
A Philadelphia Lady Who Had No
Faith In Physicians.
Philadelphia, Dec. 27.—One of the most
peculiar inquiries ever made by a (Joronei
was the examination made to-day by Coronei
Powers in the cas« of Emma Kitzmiller,
thirty-three y«-ars of age, redding at No. 1315 |
Davis street, who expired on Saturday night ,
last. The deceased was the wife of Lewis B. '
Kitzmiller, an artist. Several weeks ago Mrs. '
Kitzmiller complained of illntws, but having,
like her husband, become a convert to the ■
“faith cure,” and placing firm reliance on the ;
efficacy of prayer, she declined to have medi- [
cal treatment. They were member* of “The '
Heavenly Recruite,” an organization similar ;
to the Salvation Army, and many of ;
their relatives were also worshipers »n the
same school. The testimony submitted
at the inquest was probably the most
remarkable seriee of statements on the Cor
oner’s docket. The husband, a pale, slender
man with chin whisker*, wm the first wit
nwHM. He stated that his wife was taken ill
about four weeks ago. Dr. came in
on Ducemlx'r 3, and prescribed powders. He
called again, but his wife refused to take the
medicine, saying sho did not require a doc 1
tor. She took one of the powders, and after
wards said she felt badly. Thinking she wa«
becoming worse, she kneeled and prayed, be
lieving that faith would cure her, as it had
cured worse cases. Three brothers and &
sister of the deceased were called os wit
nesscs. One of t brothers, William Mc-
Knight, was a|h ver in the “faith cure,”
and he declared positively that his sister had
told him she did not want a physician, as shn
had sufficient faith to cure her.
George MeKnighi. another brother, wha
was not a believer in the peculiar theories en
tertained by his shter and brother-in law,
testified that he saw his sister on December 3,
when ho asked permission to go to her room.
She said that “Jesus was her only physician,”
but he became so disgusted with the talk that
he heard that he determined to send for a
physician, and he directed Dr. Lepman to go
to the bouse.
Mary Gardner, of 1033 Master street, who
gave her occupation aw a missionary, said
that she is a believer in the “faith cure.”
She said that “the lx>rd Jesus Christ can do .
all things.” Everything was done that could
be doin’. She didn’t believe in doctors, but
lielieved in God. As she finished her testi
mony she cried out, “Praise the Lord and al
these men,” and she cast a benigned look at
the debased reporters.
“All the statements regarding the Doctor’s
visits are false,’’ said Kitzmiller, as he again
took the witness stand, “my wife declined to
have a dwtor, as she thought that faith
would cure her. She expressed a doubt about
having sufficient to cure her, and 1 went for
powders priwrilnMl by the Doctor. I said
when 1 got home, ‘Would you take your wife
out. of the Lord’s hands and trust to a little
powder?’ ‘1 don’t want to do anything,’ she
replied. ‘Well, then,’ 1 said, ‘we will pray
for permission to take it,”’ and they knelt or.
the floor and prayed. She then said that she
felt better.
At this juncture the spectators had their
attention drawn to an outcry and a heavy
thud in the rear of the office, which had been
caused by Henry Fry, a cousin of the de
ceased. falling to the floor in an epileptic fit,
caused by the excitement to which be had
been subjected. He laid on the floor for half
au hour. Kitzmiller continued:
“On going home the Lord revealed to me
that 1 had l>een doing what I had wild I
never would do, namely, believe half in the
Lord and half in medicine. We stopped the
medicine and began praying. I then read
the fourteenth verse of the fifth chapter of
St. John, and then I laid hands on her and
anointed her. She said she felt tM»tter.”
This was Saturday. On Sunday the wlt
n»BS awoke anil found his wife dead. “It
was the sleep exhaustion,” he said, “from
which she never awoke.” The cause of death
was found from the examinations made by
Dr. Stewart to have been inflammation
of the bowels, and a verdict was rendered
accordingly. “Yes,” said Dr. Formed, “a
dose of castor oil administered at the proper
time would have made bar well.”
UrsuK® Dea th-Hr d Neeme.
New York, Dec. 27.- Dr. Wm. Darling, a
physician whose name is prominent among
the profession throughout the United States
and England, died here early this morning.
Nine hours liefore his death, when in a condi
tion of delirium, he delivered a complete
lecture ou anatomy, which was perfectly co
herent. Such a weird death-bed scene, said
his physician, bad rarely been witnessed. Dr.
Darling took a severe cold last Thursday, and
on Friday he alleged that he fell down and
injured himself. He was examined by Dr.
Spitska, who found three superficial scalp
abrasions. Dr. Darling strenuously resisted
treatment and even declined to have a nurse.
Dr. Darling wm born at Dunse, Scotland,
eighty two years ago. He was an enthusiast
on the subject of anatomy, which was hi«
specialty.
AN IRATE PARENT.
A Georgia OfllctaPe Objection to Hl*
Sou’® Marriage.
Carters Ville, Ga., Dec. 27.- The race for
Ordinary of Bartow County has brought out
a curious revelation, which is made by R. W.
Murphy, who is a candidate against J. A.
Howard, who lias held office for years. It is
shown that when George A. Howard, the son
of Ordinary J. A. Howard, who was also his
clerk, married Miss Annie G. Bayne it was
against his father’s wishes. It is duty of the
Ordinary to issue marriage licenses, and after
the marriage it is the duty of the minister to
return the license to the Ordinary's office,
where he is required by law to record such
licenses, to stand as a legal proof of marriage.
' The license for the marriage of young How
ard ami Miss Payne was returned by Rev. R.
B. Headon, who had married them, whan,
L instead of putting it on record, Ordinary
Howard wrote on the face of the same the
following indorsement, addressed to his son:
“This infernal p&per wm sneaked back in
to my office. It is hereby returned, and is
good evidence to remind you of your theft,
lying and virtual forgery It is an attempt
to use your father’s nanx to consummate a
l>ase act, and amounts *o forgery in every
! sense of the term. Neve' will Iby word, act
i or deed, or by the least consent thereto, ap
prove of your counectioE with the base, low
set that is too vile to think of, much less as
life-time associates. Th .’a will always remind
you of your base act, always be evidence of
your theft, lying and forgery, and will cer
tainly make you think what you are doing
and where you will land. Little did 1 think
when 1 was denying myself the comforts of
life, trying to raise, educate and prepare you
to be a useful citizen and respected, an I using
• all my efforts to place you in respectable soci
ety, your mother doing all she could to make
you somebody, that you would be so forget
' ful of the duty and respect you owed us
i as to disgrace us. as you have, and to treat us
with perfect con tompt and disrespect, and to
turn yourself over to the control of as low
down a scoundrel as Ned Payne, and as low
( down a villiasi as Vest Hartwell, and to be
come so infatuated with the infernal set you
have token up with. Can’t you get from
amongst them? If not get a rope and hang
yourself. Don’t be sneaking around town as
you are. 1 would ton thousand times rather
| you were under the sod than as you are. I
I don’t ever expect to enjoy one minute’s pleas
ure with you, never can. All my hopes are
blighted by one act, one base act on your
part. Hmv can you face respectable people?
You can record this in hell.

Rev. Henby Wabd Beeches is hav- ’
ing trouble with his church congre
gation. It has grown out of hie .
recent politically independent work,
which favored Mr. Cleveland's elec,

generation past Mr. Beecher has been
a political preacher of the most pro
nounced radical type, but no com
plaints of a loud sort were ever
uttered against him by his church |
members. Well, if Plymouth Church
turns a cold shoulder to Beecher, as
the VUltb Henry did to the “Great

not be surprised,but Beecher will not
be destroyed religiously or financial

is proud of his long "Boss-ship" of
