The Last Prop Oone.
The last prop having been knocked on
Saturday by the court from under tho
nbsurd and vindictive opposition of the
defeated rivals of the Harbor Asphalt
company to the carrying out of the
ten-year street repair contract for, In
Its first Inspiration and continued guid
ance this whole kick-up was the woik
of a disgruntled rompetltor of the Har
bor company which the latter com
pany had fairly and squarely under
biddenthere remains nothing for the
recalcitrant city officials to do this
pleasant June morning but to take
their medicine and look cheerful. They
have played to the galleries from the
curtain's rise to Us fall; now let them
5o ithelr duty.
Speaking of the pallet los, It Is worth
while to temark that they have not
been fouled so generally as tho posturo
of ithu local politicians who make it
their business to play to them might
lead one to believe. It has not escaped
their notice that the lowest bidder got
the contract, that tho men who now
claim that the Harbor bid was high
way inbbcry made no effort to under
bid the llarliei company when bldi
were In older, and that even It tho
Barber bid, after much litigation,
could be Invalidated and the Harber
ennttact annulled there would still be
po assinancf that the bidder falling
heir to the Ilnrlmr company's business
In this city would exhibit superior llb
otailty. As between n rhirber "octo
pus" nml. tor eamplf. an Alcatraz
"iiclnpim" the bids last year showed
decidedly which Is preferable.
The thicTt of nn appeal to the Su
preme court Is made for effect, but its
only rcMilt would be to add a page to
the already limp chapter of delay. The
Supreme court will not reverse Itself
to suit the political necessities of a few
gallery-playing Scrnnton city ofllclals.
It Is nlready on record touching all the
legal points In the present controversy
and an appeal could have no other In
tent than to prolong spitefully tho
agony due to our dilapidated strcet3.
The man who causes further delay In
asphalt repairs must reckon the proba
bility that he will have to settle wl'th
tho people of Scranton.
f till another formal denial Is made,
that Secretary Alger Intends to resign.
This topic of "news" is becoming tire
some. Delivery of Express Packages.
The express companies doing busi
ness In Scranton have in combination
established a radius within which they
make free delivery of packages and, In
combination, they refuse to deliver be
yond that radius. A considerable por
tion of tho South Side, of Hyde Par,
Providence and Green Hldge, of Peters
burg nnd of the Seventeenth and Ninth
wards east of Prescott avenue lie out
side of these arbitrary limits and per
sons receiving express packages ad
dressed to a residence or place of busi
ness in 'the districts mentioned must
pay extra for delivery or provide their
own transportation.
Sometimes when nn Influential citi
zen enjoying a vigorous pull wants de
livery made beyond the local dead line
ho can secure this after an animated
correspondence with the august chief
ofllclals of the express companies, but
to tho ordinal y citizen this discrimina
tion In delivery privileges is Indexible.
And yet the couits of Pennsylvania, In
n case decided only u fortnight or so
ago, have decided that an express com
pany. If It delivers to any person in a
certain community, must deliver on
equal terms to ull persons in that com
munity; that a postal card notice of the
arrival of a package doe3 not consti
tute a delivery or a release of the com
pany from Its common carrier obliga
tions. Under this decision, nn extension of
the delivery limits In Scranton to coin
cide with the Mty limits Is necessary to
favo the express companies from the
rick of litigation, but even If the law
illd not make uniform delivery Impera
tive It would be a Just and business
like proceeding to establish a general
delivery. The rate charged at tho for
warding olllce on the undelivered pack
age Is precisely the satne as that
charged on the package which goes to
an address within the delivery limits.
The consignor in the ono case pays as
much as the consignor in the other and
fair play requires -that he should get
all that ho pays for.
Harrow, the kidnaper of Marlon
Clarke, gets two months less than the
maximum sentence of fifteen years.
Two months In ISO may not bo worth
quarreling over, but we consider that
tho Judge's mercy was wasted.
A Typical American Hero.
There Is now In this country on leave
of absence a man who, In tho calm
Judgment of men who weigh their opin
ions, Is as truly a typical hero of tho
ivar as Admiral Dewey Is, and perhaps
Just as much entitled to enthusiastic
ncclalm. We refer, of course, to Gen
eral Leonard Wood.
Wood Is a pre-eminent type of the
American who does 'things. Ho shares
with Itoosevelt tho credit for organiz
ing tho Rouen Riders. He led even
Itoosevelt In getting his regiment safe
ly through the tangles at.d ptIIb ut
Tampa. His record as a soldier Is with
out blot. And his work In the udmln
.titration of affulrs In Santiago stands
forth before all other work of similar
rhr.ractor as tho model of American
achievement and tho demonstration of
American capability. Dowey wrotu ut
Manila no better records of courage,
fidelity and diplomacy than Wood has
nado at Santiago and Wood went Into
M trial comparatively a young man.
Ucre ouL-ht to bo 4 great reception
In store for Wood. Ho personally docs
not need It. Ma 1 tho typo of equip
ment which doea with thoroughness
what Is ito be done tcgnrdless of pralso
or blame. But nt a time when extrava
gant homngo Is paid to purely de
structive ability as Indicated In tho
dashing and gory fighter It would bo
educational to arrange a corresponding
display of appreciation for itlie Infin
itely nioro valuable) and necessary kind
of ability which patiently, tactfully,
thoroughly reconstructs and regener
ates. If some of our heroes bo not of
the Wood type wo shall fare III In our
now role as tho keeper of strange de
pendencies. '
The French Journalist, Tlcnrl Turot,
who hns Just returned from Manila,
says wo need 100,000 men there. Tho
conservative and Judicious character of
M. Turot's observations concerning
Philippine affairs gives his opinion on
this subject some weight, lie Is nt least
disinterested. Count Casslnl, the Rus
sian nmbassndor to this country, say.i
virtually the same thing, and ho has no
motive for ularmlng us. Better too
many troops than too few.
Civil Service Reform.
In tho Chicago Record William 13.
Curtis, the Washington correspondent
and former official of the state depart
ment, explains with a newspaper
man's lucidity the effect of the recent
order of the president withdrawing
from the Jurisdiction of the civil ser
vice commission certain subordinates
of the several executive departments,
which has been so Bharply criticized
by civil service reform theorists. Says
Mr. Curtis:
"More than half of the persons af
fecteu are In tho wnr department and
comprise casual and temporary em
ployes of the engineer corps, nnd tho
quurtermasler, commissary and med
ical depaitments of the army, such
as carpenters, masons, palntcis,
blacksmiths, stonecutters, machinists,
teamsters, packers, helpers, laborers,
watchmen, guards, hostlers, etc. After
two years' experience It has been
found that the ordinary cUU-servlco
rules rannot be applied to this clas.3
of men for several reasons. In tho
first place the best of them will not
submit to examination. They mo
usually needed for only n few wecki
or months at a time. They aro scat
tered all over the plains and moun
tains of tho west, where it Is not only
inconvenient but often Impossible for
the civil-service commission to hold
examinations, and In almost every
case during the last two years when
a list of eligible: for such positions
bus been called for it could nut lia
furnished nnd the persons In charge
had to employ such persons as they
could find under the emergency clause
of the old rules. For example, when
one of tho embankments of the Mississ
ippi river breaks It Is scarcely prac
ticable for the engineer in chargo to
call upon the civil-service commission
for a list of ellglbles to repair it. Again,
when the quartermaster at an army
post receives telegraphic orders to fit
out his regiment for the Philippines,
he needs Immediately 500 or 300 skilled
or semi-skilled mechanics, teamsters,
packers, carpenters and laborers, and
It would be absurd for him to ask the
civil-service commission to hold nn ex
amination and send him a list of ellgl
bles. "hast year thousands of men were
given temporary employment upon
coast defenses and other fortifications,
nnd when tho engineers called upon
tho civil-service commissioners for
lists of ellglbles none could be furn
ished, so that the only result was em
barrassment and delay. Mechanics of
this class will not go to Washington
or anywhere else to undergo an exam
ination, because they do not care to
spend the time or the money that the
Journey will require, nnd they have
natural prejudice against 'school mas
ters.' Experience has also taught that
the efficiency of teamsters, mule pack
ers, blacksmiths and other artisans
employed by the army cannot be de
termined either by an oral or n writ
ten examination, but as a matter of
fact this class of employes hns not
been entirely exempted from examin
ations by the new order. Only the
method of their appointment has been
changed. A rule that could not be en
forced has been revoked, and a new
one that can be applied In nlmost
every case has been adopted. They
have been removed from tho classified
service, but rule 1 of tho recent order
requires that the moral character and
efficiency of employes shall be ascer
tained and recorded upon a list of
ellglbles, and that when a quartermas
ter, an engineer or any other ofllcer
requires such assistance the men shall
be selected from the top of the wait
ing list.
"Another paragraph In tho order
which has been severely criticized la
that 'all persons serving under tempor
ary appointments at tho date of tho
approval of this section may be perma
nently appointed In tho discretion of
the proper appointing officers. This ap
plies to a number of clerks who wero
employed under the emergency clause
of the civil service law In the war and
navy departments at tho beginning of
tho war. Most of them have served
faithfully and worked night and day
for more than a year, and have thus
proved their efficiency. Another largo
class of persons who are made exempt
from civil service examinations by the
rerent order are several hundred halt
civilized Indians, employed under tho
secrrtary of tho Interior as teamsters,
policemen, rooks, woodchoppers, and in
similar capacities. Two years of ex
perience has demonstrated that the un
tutored mind of 'Lo, the poor Indian,'
Is not up to the civil service rules.
Special ngents of the Indian bureau
and the land olllce, whose duties are
similar to those of detectives, are also
exempt because experience has demon
strated that 90 per cent, of tho detec
tives furnished by the civil service
commission are absolutely worthless.
No one will pretend that penetration
of mind or shrewdness of Judgment can
bo ascertained by a written examina
tion. The same remark applies to the
employes of the Smithsonian Institu
tion, who aro taken out of the classi
fied service upon the recommendation
of Chief Justlco Fuller, Prof. Lnngley,
Senator Gray, of Doluvrnie; President
Angell, of Michigan university; ex
Postmaster General Wilson, Alexander
Graham Belt and other members of the
board of regents, who are quite as
much Interested In promotlnff the wel
fare and usefulness of tho institution
as thji officers of tho Civil Service Re
form league or the editors who have
criticized 'the action of the president.
When thero Is a vacancy In tho Smith
sonian Institution or tho National
museum tho regents want to fill It with
tho very best man ithey can get, nnd
they find that competitive examinations
ate not a test of fitness,"
In proof of this last statement, Mr.
Curtis gives nn illustration. There vvai
recently, suys he, nn appointment to
the office of editor of scientific publi
cations In one of the departments. One
of tho candidates had been for twenty
five years employed In such dutlps by
the publishers of scientlflo books, en
cyclopedias, mogazlnes and other slmt
llnr literature, and was considered nn
expert. He probably knows ten times
as much as all the members of the ex
amining board combined about this
particular lino of business, but he was
unable to display that knowledge in
an examination, and when the papers
were turned In his were marked 08, and
his name was at the bottom of tho list
of ellglbles. The man nt the top of
the list, who was marked 95, had never
had the slightest experience, but had
the gift of answering questions. Ho
had never edited a page of scientific
manuscript In his life. He had never
been Inside of a printing orflce, except
perhaps ns a visitor, yet twenty-flvo
years of experience counted for noth
ing against his glib tongue und tact.
The Joke In this ea&c Is that the edi
tor who failed has boon an ardent ad
vocate of competitive examinations up
to this time, but now declares that
they are a delusion.
During the first two weeks of this
month there were 3lS deaths In Havana
ns compared with 2.1CQ' deaths In tho
corresponding. fortnight last year. It
Is time the Cubans began to realize
their change for the, better.
Arthur Pue Gorman.
Undoubtedly ex-Senator Gorman ns
the Democratic nominee for president
next year would prove a more forinld
nblo candidate than Mr. Bryan, and the
Croker contingent exhibits shrewd poll
tics in placing Gormnn In the HpM.
Gorman Is not a silver extremist nnd
he might not be supported by the howl
ing fclxtecn-to-oneis with Irrepressible
enthusiasm. But as the nominee of his
party ho would got their votes, which
would be the main consideration, and
ho would also stand a chance, which
Bryan never could, of catching tho
votes of conservative gold Democrats
and such Republican malcontents of
the Hoar, Hale and Mason type ns
would feel compelled by the logic of
past utterances to vote against Mc
Klnley because of his Philippine policy.
Gorman, although a master of cun
ning, Is nlso a man of Intellectual
breadth, mentally far superior to
Bryan. His acquaintance with public
men and public measures Is larger and
more varied. He Is a man of far greater
experience and In the event of his nomi
nation there would not prevail through
out the country that feeling of uneasi
ness which Bryan's radicalism and
fiery demagoglsm Inspires among men
naturally cautious or timid. Ho would
bo regarded more like Tilden was re
garded after the Democratic conven
tion In 1876. There would bo a con
census of belief that In the Improbable
event of Gorman's election the ofllco
of president would not bo given over
to revolutionary purposes and the foun
dations of national credit would remain
stable.
Such Is the argument for Gorman,
looking beyond the day of the conven
tion. But It is undeniable that unless
a revolution shall be worked Bryan,
not Gorman, will have the support of
the great majority of the delegates.
Shirt waists aro said to bo tho latest
thing for the manly form. The one
who wears them may have a "manly
form," but ho will probably be found
to possess a girlish head.
In these days of shameless adulera
tion wo are now confronted with an
ambitious scientist who proposes to
make artificial coal. This is really too
much.
The problem of Jail building in the
south In future will not bo that of keep

Texas was once known as the New
Philippines. An occasional lynching
down that way indicates that there are
a few Fillpinqs left.
General Wheaton has illustrated at
Manila that a man can wear a ram's
horn moustache and be a hero at the
same time.
THE NEGLIGEE SHIRT.
With fond satisfaction we're hailing
Return of the negligee shirt,
Whobo bosom with starch is ne'er stif
fened, WhObe collar lies low and inert.
It may not be what is called "dressy,"
But not an iota we care.
For comfort Is what we're now seeking
In things that wo eat, drink and wear.
At last we are free from -discomfort
Of bosom as stiff as a board.
Which held us erect us tho armor
That in the old times turned a sword.
No more by long cuffs are we bothered,
Tho kind that encircled our fists,
For negligee sleeves wo'ro now wearing.
And they only come to the wrists.
No moro are we worried by collars
In which our poor necks wero long
cooped,
And by which we nearly wero strangled
Bach time we unthinkingly stooped.
Our heads we are now freely turning
In any direction wu please,
Without making quick revolution
Or swinging around by degrees.
Tho broad silken scarfs we've discarded
For other.', of much smaller size,
And now 'round our necks we aro wearing
The narrow and neat little ties.
The shirt stuilo wo fumbled so often
Until we wero red in the face
Havo gone, and the old-fashioned buttons
Aro back in the time-honored place.
When hot waves rush In and nssall us
'TIs comfort nil mortals desire,
And that Is Just what we are finding
In making this chango of utttro.
Though some will declare It's not "dres
sy." Remarks of such critics don't hurt
Our feelings, for gladly vve'io hailing
Return of tho negligee shiit.

Susquehanna, Pa , June 18, In Slav

the slaves to escape was Tom IlarrU,
who was owned by Colonel Harris, of
Culpepper ourt House, Virginia. As
soon as war wns declared, Tom re
turned from Canada to Wayne county,
where he has since lived, doing odd
Jobs on farms. When Tom came to
Wayne county ho was ns black as
the ace of spades, but for the past
three years white spots have appeared
upon his person, and today he Is more
than two-thirds white. Each succeed
ing white spot Is whiter and larger
than the one preceding, and their com
ing Is accompanied by Intense pain and
Itching Tom's hair, onco twisted and
"kinky," Is gradually straightening
out, and 'ho expresses the belief that
before long he will be "as white as
any person In Wayne county." Tom's
