TueNewYerk Herald is industriously engaged hi reading Mr. Randall out of the Democratic party, and Mr. Dennan 13. Eaten has undertaken the greater task of reading him out of Congress and the coun try. It Is nothing new for the Herald, which represents no principle and no party, te be reading persons out of ether people's parties; and every time there is fresh shaking-up of its editorial organization there is a new departure. for tlie divi sion of Its readers and the safety of the country it blows het nnd cold by turns and seasons, and the people it reads out in the spring it Is pretty sure te recall in the fall, when it reads the ether fellows out. What it says is only curious, net significant. Its special grievance at Mr. Randall is net his reported opposition te the Morrison tariff bill which, by the way, there has been no opportunity for him as jet te manifest en the fleer of the Heuse but the report that he is unwilling te prometo any effort te carry out this pledge of the Chicago platform : "The Democratie party Is pledged te re vise tbe tariff In a spirit of fairness te all lutoresta." If It were true, as the Ilcruld says, that "Mr. Randall's whole power and inliu ence in the Heuse of Representatives are used and have been used during the whole session te prevent any revision whatever of the tariff," it would be a serious affair ; but it is net true. Mr. Randall Is net en the ways aud means committee, which has te de with the tariff, lie has net declared his unwillingness te amend the tariff in accordance with the Chicago platform; and never te our knowledge has he de clared against " any revision whatever of the tariff." On the contrary he has again and ngaln declared (but he favored a revision of it " in a Spirit of fairness te all interests." It certainly will be tiuie enough when the tariff debate comes en. te determine what attitude the different Democrats of the IIouse will as- sumo regarding it : aud te pass judgment en them. "We bide that time. Meantime this work of reading out members of the party gees briskly en. A geed many gentlemen read the president out because he is said te favor civil service reform ; ethers read out Secretary Man ning because he favors a restriction of sil ver coluage; ethers again would exclude "Wattcrsen, Carlisle, Morrison and Hurd because they are said te be free traders ; Reck is read out because he favors silver. "We de net think any of these gentlemen need go. We have watched this rending out business with much interest for some years. We observe seme gentlemen in dustriously engaged in it new who only a few years age were the victims and sub jects of it themselves ; some of them were actively engaged only a few years nge in the most vicious assaults upon their party and its candidates ; they were read out ; they came back ; or rattier they stayed ; the party needed them ; they needed it. The Democratic party is a big party, and a generous organization. It needs all its honest members and it tolerates liberality of thought nnd wide divergence of senti ment among them, even en the tariff, the civil service and the silver questions. It likes frank, courageous, honest aud in dependent men, and it conserves their differences te formulate a sound, safe, con servative policy. And it is net going te read unjbedy out because, of differences of opinion upon questions en which it tolerates difference. As for Mr. Dennan II. Eaten, chief pie pie pio meter and exponent of the particular sys tem of civil service examination, which the Republicans applied very feebly te their own administrations, and are new se hypocritically in favor of for Democrats, the party of the present administration lias no use for him. He is a cranky old man, full of littleness and in all that makes for bread statesmanship aud high patriotism far below the average Democratic congressman and politician whom he regards per se as a " speilsman." It Is te be taken for grauted that few peo ple read and a smaller number are influ enced by " the open letters " ha is new writing te readout of public esteem any body who favors a change in the rules he nnd net Congress nor the president has nude te restrict the choice of civil service appointees te persons under 15 years of age and te four turne3 which the examiners pick out. These, with Eaten's ether per formances, are among the eccentricities which have helped te nmkn hi svstm odious; and by Uls offensive personalities im uivm u uiscussien which will enlv serve te set him forth In his true light, which Is very far from that which shines nbeut an elevated statesman or an tinsel fish patriot. Fer Indigent Merchants. Geerge L. Oliver's princely liequesl or almost $700,000 te the Metchauls' Fund association, of Philadelphia, shows that he must have been in life a man in whose veins mu a large share of the milk of humati kindness. There are few sights mere distressing than that of a bankrupt merchant, who, in the days of his youth nnd energy having fought his way te mercantile power, Audi himself, as life's Journey draws te a close, in straitened cir cumstances. A mercantile career is one of the most uncertain avocations, unksi it is conducted '"' "-' WMK 1 tX HHHfcA Bwr :: in exceeding great caution. The news papers record each day numerous failures. There were, 209 in this country last week. A geed proportion of these embraced men who had fondly hoped that their independ ence nnd fortune was assured, and are tee old te begin life's struggle anew. Te these and such as these the muullleeuce of Mr. Oliver's bequest will bring large re turns. They will benssuml that whatever betldesthem, there will always be, thanks te his thoughtful prevision, an asylum where they may right fully lay their weary heads when the day of irretrievable re verses comes upon them. A Strange hclioel Incident. A remarkable school trouble has aiisen in Vincennes. Iudiana. The high school commencement will net take place this year for the reason that evciy one of the eight white pupils of the senior class, de clines te proceed witli the commencement duties if the coleied girl lneiuK'ref the class Is permitted te graduate with them. As tiiere can be no formal exercises with only one pupil, and the recalcitrants are firm in their determination, the commence ment will net take place. The action of the white pupils is ery silly. If tiie colored girl was geed enough te be a class-mate up te the time of gradu ation, she was surely entitled te hae her work crowned in the public commencement exercises. Resides it appeals that .she steed above tbe average of herelass, which would be nn additional reason for giving her equal nnd exact justice. Of 'course, it is desirable that the race3 should have separate schools. Rut under that er roneous view of the public school system whereby the largest attention is paid te high schools and the lea.st te these of the primary department, it is inqiosslble te have high schools exclusively for the col ored pupils. This consideration should lie kept In mind when a colored boy or girl gets far enough along en the thorny path of knowledge te be lilted for high school Instruction. They should receive encour agement instead of leprti-siun. A few years age ayoungeeloied woman of l-an-caster graduated in the Lancaster high school, and the occasion was s-eized upon te point the moral of the advancement of the colored race. And this would have been the proper view te take of the ln- cennes Incident. Tub Sonate does net seem te favor open doers for oxecutlve sessions, though It en dorses opeu mouths all the time. SkvX of the eleven senators who voted against the bill te prohibit members of Con Cen gres.s from accepting retainers or employ ment from corporations that have received grants of laud or pecuniary aid from Con gress have acted at different times as attor neys for land-grant railroads In the United States supreme court. This is the real milk lit thocecoauut. Kahl Carnarvon in hiscoutreversy with I'arucll seems anxious te preve thtt he is a neble liar. Tm: idea of using eid wells fur storm warn ing purposes is net se preHtereus as it may at ilrst seem. An experiment was recently made in the village of Meyrln, Switzerland, which amply demonstrates the possibilities or this variety el barometer. This is the theory en which It werked: Auoriliceef about an inch in diameter is made In the cover of the well, by which the internal air is put in communication with the external. When the air prossure outside diminishes upon the approach of a storm the air in the well osetpes nnd blows a vvlnstU) in connec tion with the orihce and in this way notice efa storm's approach is given te the inhabi tants. If, en tlie contrary, tlie pressure in creases a different sound is produced by the entry of the air into the well, and the prob ability of liue weather is announced. Kine Ludwie, ei liavnrl.i, has been pro nounced loe crazy te rule. Kings are such figureheads in this generation that their In sanity should net be considered a serious defecU Dit. SenKA, who has inade an epecial study et hydrophobia, lectured ou that sub ject before the .New Yerk M-dlcal society. He said iiedid net beliove there was another branch of Inquiry In which tradition, erre3 neeus observation, ill-balauitsl reasoning, and Immature theory played se large a part us In that relating te the tiaiisumsieu of rallies from animals te man. "I f I deal mere with the question of spurious than with real hydrophobia," he said, "it is beemsa my ex perience with the former is considerable and with the latter luliuilely small Indeed, I would say ml, but that I wish te avoid dis uussiug a question whose sldts are repre. sented by able thinkers and observers, whether there really is such a thing as gen uine hydrophobia in man, tine te Iransmis Iransmis sien irem lower animals and te nothing else." He claims, us the medical fraternity have claimed for years, that the alllictlen was brought en with thu aid of ether mmd-dis-trading disease, by emnia, or by fear. Te illustrate hew the illumination could Ixi worked upon, lie said there whs a man net InngHge In the Presbyterian he.piui who believed he had hydrejiUxihli, and upon whose leg uu eruption appeared, because he thought he had been bitten en that spot. The way te prevent iuture outbreaks el spurious hydrophobia was "te uiule dogs, te dam up the torrents of ink flowing Irem the pens or hasty Investigators, and te exclude sonsa sensa sonsa tlenal publications irem thu housuheld."

Fer all that they c.uinet but be glad that the White Heue gardens and thetreasury yards put en their prettiest best for the bride of the executive mansion. I read in tbe VVcm that the chairman of the Democratic state committee of Pennsylvania was down in Washington tlie ether dvy In terviewing Civil Service Commissioner Oberlv, Inquiring of that regenerated p-vr-tisan ""ifauvthiugin the civil service rules forbade a federal emploje from making nn unsolicited contribution te the Democratic campaign fund." It is related that ''Mr. Oberlv answered him that any federal officer In Pennsylvania or elsewhere timid Kive anything he pleased te any charity w n it ever, but warned Mr. Hen-el against send ing anvbeld Democratic officer out upon a selicilini; mission. The luud should be col lected, he said, inaeiutietis and diplomatic maimer." liie mi-sleii and its results are facetiously but sincerely commented upon by a few esteemed but misguided contem poraries of the J'rcss. I hapned, by an old chance, te be in Washington the day the Democratic state chairman is reported te have beeu there ; and I tracked him where he went. He did net ste Oberlv and he did net go te see him. H e had no such mission as reported, tnade ue such inquiry aud get no such answer. What the chairman was alter I don't knew, but what I went alter, for a few hours if any body tins any Interest in knowing the truth was te try and Impress a few el mv friends aud acquaintances in Congress w uh the fact that L4ncater city was quite a much entitled te a federal building, built by the United States uev eminent as llarns burg, Willlauispert, Heading nnd scranten, which have been provided fer;ttnli little mere entitled te one than Wllkesbarre, Alle gheny City, Oil City, Chester, or even Ailen Ailen tewn"clty,whU'ti are struggling in competition with this geed srilru town.

This is the natural seat and centre of the internal revenue district and will remain such, w bile toeaccoculturo lasts, aud the inauy hundred cigar factories here have close business relatieus requiring persemO communication with the United Slates government. Tiiere are a geed deal weightier considerations than local pride for the "-election el this, pre-eminent among Pennsylvania town", for the next federal building ordered in Pennsylvania. Fortunately fortnechauceserir.Cungres.m in iiiestaud is leaving nothing undone te sivure It that energy aud popularity can accom plish.

Wh,) net this ." When it was quite Mfe and sure that the chairman was alter no mischief, I hung ever the Heuse gallery ler half an hour trying te get interested in what was going ou in the pit. It seemed te be as orderly us a stock exchange, and yet the cool, clear-headed speaker, clerks and the vigilant stenograph ers kept tile run et things very well aud al ways knew what is going en. " It is net very important that nnylxidy el-e should. On Thursday two Tennessee members of oppos ing parties took up a great deal of public lime hi readlug tiresome speeches about what Gov.

This seems irrelevant te the common looker-en, but the truth is that wiiile the-e debates for lliinceiulie county and the galleries are going en ami mere harmful work Is being prevented, tlie really uselul and busy men of Congress are at work in their committee rooms, around in the corridors, shaping legislation, killing or cooking Jens and getting things ready for the serious business el Congress.

It was the talk of the corridors ou Thurs day that Mr. Randall's brlel speech en the civil service appropriation clause, was ene of the most etlective lie had ever made in his entire congressional career. It Is seldom that a speech changes anybody's mind. The etleet et most them Is te only intensify the Irlends and loes of the measure under ills, mission in their former opinions. Hut It was said some thirty members who had pre viously net been of Mr. Uaudall's way of thinking had declared since the discussion that they would vete witli him unit Mr. lleluiau ou the Issue they propose. It Ua simple and cle.tr one. The civil iter, vice commission as constituted by u Republi can president exercised tlie privilege Ceiigra-s gave us members le muke rules ler the regu lation of examinations. Tliey net Congress ordered that no man who was ever 4." years ofage should be eligible toexaminatleu.

Heme of them are efficient ; some, et them draw salaries for Hitting all day doing nothing but eatlng lunch aud signing their own or somebody else's name in a feeble sort or way. They are pro tected ; but any nther man ofever 45, unless he was enrolled lu tlie army any period Irem four years down te ten days, Is barted out el the department. Most el the Republicans of the country ev er 13 year or age hav e bad n swig nt the milk bottle, CK these rusting In ottlee low die and absolutely nene resign.

I sty, as I have stid et the lirst part el the amendment, that this also operates ou both parties alike, for the clause with refer ence te age affects members of the Republi can jurty a much as it does theso of the Democratic party, a discrimination against all men alike. Wiule we de net desire any abridgment of the right of tbe executtve and these under lum vv ith reference te appointments, vet we de netthink it presjr te permit these Unco members of the civil service commission te exercise the prerogative et sending te the ap pointing lower only four names lrem which selections must be made.
