Bunday morning.
*The report of tne elate treasurer
just published in the Atlanta papers
showed a cash balance in the treas

The oapitol building at Trenton,
New Jersey, was burned on Saturday.
Valuable court and department pa

The Dubuque Herald says the post
master-general’s name is pronounced
as it is spelt—Vi-las, and not Vee las
or Vii-as. Take notice and govern
yourselves accordingly. Glad to
know it.
Much in being said abo t the bad
plight of England In her present

but If Italy will stand up to her as
she seems determined to do on both
land and water, Mr. Gladstone will
have nothing to fear.
An exchange says: Mark Twain
has been “sat down on” again. The
Public Library Committee of Con
cord, New Hampshire, has unani
mously decided to exclude from the
shelves of that Institution, ’‘Buckle
berry Finn." The general opinion
of the committee is ”tbat the book
Is flippant and irreverent in its style;
it deals with a series of experience*
that are certainly not elevating; the
whole book is of a class that is more
profltable for the slums than It Is for
respectable people, and it is trash of
the veriest sort."
The ninth volume of the tenth cen
sus report., just issued, shows that
the forest product of this country for
the census year amounted to $700,-
000,000 in value, while the wheat
harvest, valuing the product even at
$1 a bushel, amounted to only $450,-
000,000, and our Iron and steel pro
duction is lees than $300,000,000. All
our coal, soft and bard, for the year,
was valued at $100,000,000, while our
wood burned for domestic purposes
alone was estimated to be worth
more than three times that sum.
The death of poor Cohen, one oi
the skating rink contestants at the
Madison square. New York, tourua
meat last week, was a sad affair,
when the Inside story of the case Is
told. He did not expect to win the
first prise, or any prise for skating,
but the terms of the contest promised
SSO to all the contestants who re
mained twelve hours a day on the
track during the tournament. Cohen
was out of worn and oould not get It,
and grasped this chance to make at
least the SSO for his wife and little
ones, and relied on his power of en
durance, and not on bis skill as a
skater, for his reward. He struggled
on from day to day, against the ad
vice of bis friends to quit the rink and
go home for rest, and suffered to the
close, notwithstanding the hoots and
jeers of the thoughtless critics who
kuew not the motive that kept him
on the rink. At the close of the con
test he went for his money, but it
was on some pretext refused him. He
gotanotbing, when he expected SSO.
The shock of disappointment crushed
him. He went home, took his bed
and died. He left his wife s pauper,
and was himself burled as one. The
one redeeming feature iu this case is
that it the thousands who jeered the
poor fellow bad known his desperate
heroism, they would have given him
a well-fllied purse instead of hoots
and jeers. Comfortable mankind
may be thoughtless, but it is never
heartless, and we are glad to know It.

A HTAKrLINU DIMCOVBKY.
The Majority of the Kx-Oonfedera tea
Barred out of Office.
Wasainotoe,March 19. The south
ern spoil-hunters have discovered a
novel point in their examination of
the civil service regulations, and it is
one which they Intend to emphasize
to “fire the southern heart” against
the civil service system. The regu
lations which have been adopted by
tbe civil service commissioners pro
vides that no person shall te permit
ted to make application for a clerical
position in the portofilce department
who is over 35, and that no person
shall be permitted to make applica
tion for a position in the treasury de
partment who is over 45, unless In
either case the applicant may chance
to have been an honorably discharged
Union soidies or sailor. A strict in
terpretation of this rule would ex
elude any person wno was in the Con
federate army from clerical position
In the poetoffice department if be
was more than 11 years of age in iB6O,
or from service under the treasury if
be was more than 21 years of age
when the war began. The discovery
of this fact has created a very marked
excitement among southern men,
Mr. E. A. Burke, of the New Orleans
Times Democrat, and manager of the
great exposition, who is here, is cred
ited with the discovery. He says;
“Why, the civil service regulations
disfranchise every ex-confederate.
The average of enlistment in the
confederate army was from fifteen to
twenty years. There certainly must
have been very few enlistments
under fifteen years, but you will see
by these regulations that, as twenty
four years have .elapsed since the
war began, and the period witbin
which a person can become an ap
plicant for a position in the post
office department is fixed at thirty
five years of age, unless he is a dis
charged union soldier, no one who
was in the ooufedette army can come
within these regulations if he was
more than 11 years of age when he
enlisted, anil it is under the post
office department that the vast ma
jority of the appointments are to be
made in the southern states; and no
i one who was in the confederate army,
in ilk' manner, could secure an ap
pointment under the treasury under
the civil service rules who was over
21 when the war began. Bu«h a prop
osition would make a terrible havoc
in the ranks of the southern office
seekers. It would bar our people
pretty nearly all out. The elect
within such limitations would be
rare exceptions?"
"What are you going to do about
it?”
“That’s the point. If these rules
are to be rigidly enforced we shall de
mand a re-examination under the
civil service system of all the Feder
al officials who hold office in the
south. It you take even a hasty
glance at the civil service require
ments you will see that very few of
the persons now holding office could
be re- appointed under any such con
ditions. There Is probat. |y not one
twentieth part of those In office who
could pass an examination under the
civil service system. We shall bring
this question prominently to public
notice, and I do not know of any
other way in which we can make the
demand known. Should that be re
fused, our only remedy would be
either to insist upon a modification
of the regulations or a reorganiza
tion of the board of civil service
commissioners. It Is a pretty vital
question for the people of our sec
tion, and I do not believe that the
people of the country are quite ready
to admit that a man is to be deprived
of service under the government be
cause be served In the confederate
army.”
HON HENRY R. HARRIS.
He Passes Through Atlanta and Talks
About Democratic Reform.
Hon. Henry B, Harris passed
through Atlanta on his way from
Washington. He said:
"I was glad to notice while in
W.isblngtou that there were fewer
applicants for office from the south
than from any other section, in pro
portion to population. There seems
to be a very small demand from the
south for get erul office, although the
president is giving the south its share.
Iu the distribution of the patronage
I notice one thing, where the two
senators from a state agree on an ap
plication it is about certain to be
successful.”
“Will there be many changes made
at once?"
“Yes, the president and his cabinet
feel sure that they can reduce the
working force in the department at
Washington fully twenty per cent,
without impairing the efficiency in
the leaet. This ratio of reduction can
probably be extended through the
country. You know that the attor
ney general has already decided to
have no assistant district attorneys.
In the postofflee department It has
been decided to heavily reduce the
number of poetoffice inspectors, and
I elui.ll be surprised if the d, moorate
do not reduce the office-holding force
twenty per cent within a year or two.
Ae to changes at present only vacan
cies will be Ailed In the smaller
offices. Os course the leading officers
of the departments will bo appointed
rapidly, and the departments in
Washington will be reorganized first.
The impression is that the president
will then take up the states one at a
time and make such changes ae seem
proper, beginning probably with
Virginia, which needs attention bad
ly, and which has an election next
tall in the entire south there will
be. I think, a pretty clean sweep.”
“How is the administration sus
taining itself?”
“Finely. No observant man can
be in Washington a week without be
coming hopeful as to the succession.
There will be more or less disap
pointment of office seekers who fail,
but back-of the applicants for office,
who though prominent, are really
few, stands the great, conservative
body of the people, wao went honest,
economical and safe government
above everything else. This Mr.
Cleveland will demonstrate thedemo
crats will give them. He is surround
lug himself with safe advisers. It is
understood that Mr. Randall has
more influence than any other man,
which fact alone is considered a
good omen.”—Constitution.
