OPPOSED TO CVIJ. SERVICE. Congressman N. D. Hill is quoted by the Washington Post as sayiug that the Democracy of Ohio is solids ly opposed to the civil service law, that they believe it to be a fraud on the public, and Ibat the people have the right to change every officer in the government at' the time pre scribed by the constitution. Wheth er the Democracy of Ohio it 6olid against the law or not as . alleged; there' is no doubt that there is a wide spread feeling against it, as at pres administered, among the masses of the people. The object of the law, professed at last by its advocates, was to protect government employ ees from the bossism of party leads ers and to secure a more efficient service, in both of which the law has beet a failure, for under Republican administration it was openly defied. But whatever : the intent o the law may have been, and the motives of its origiators, in its administration. it is one sided and in many respects .grossly aosura. same or tne quess tions asked of applicants,considering the character of service required, are o peculiar s to suggest the idea of origin from some crank whose 6b ject,seemed to " be how muCvhy non' sense' he -could cram into agiveb space, questiops wnicn have:;no earthly bearing unon the work oflhe applicants, no bearing upon anvj, thing. They are simply conun-; drums to test the wits of those to whom they are submitted, and ' are. about as useful,, practical apd . jBensvJ ble as the average conundrum gets to be. The probabilities are that be ginning with the President of the United States, running through the Supreme court, the Senate and House of Representatives, and sub, mitting the questions aske to those dignitaries, there is not one in a dozen who would answer all the questions propounded, without prevK ouspreparation. . . But a i candidate for a clerksilaip is "expected to be ac curateland prompt in his answers. There' is no sense in this kind of thing,' and ho wonder' the people are beginning to laugh at and become disgusted with it. The kind of civil service reform the people want- is the kind ; that puts good, sensible men in office, and gives every man a iair, square chance for : public position without any favoritism or tomfoolery. - A grocery store keeper, in a New Jersey town -was annoyed by some one constantly- pilfering the ' small change from his cash drawers. He concluded to seta trap for the thief, and placed a large steel trap in front of the. drawer, fastened by a chain to the floor. Going down in the morn ing he was very much surprised to find that he had captured his daugh ter,: aged 19, who proved to be a som nambulistic kleptomaniac. The Republicans are preparing for an active campaign in Ohio next fall. They propose to , raise a ; big fund; throw their best speakers into the field, among ' them , Js. G. Blaine, who is not yet quite prepared to res tire to j the shades of private life. John Sherman takes special interest in the election because bis seat in the Senate depends upon the ' result,' and if he succeeds in reselection it gives aim a boost tor tne ; nomination ior the Presidency in 1888. . '. John McCullough, the actor, was worth about $100,000 when he j began to suffer from mental derangement. Since then he has spent; about half of it in wandering aimlessly from city to cityj v Recently ehme of his friends got possession of the remainder, de posited it in a St. Loui3 bank , and eo arranged it that he. could not draw more than $3,000 or $4,000 a year. i ; A little boy' fell from the roof of a five-story huUding. , in ' New York Monday and, '.strange to .say, .was only slightly. injured. , - " ' t . tJ Kerosene oil sold at ninety cents a barrel in N3fr Ycrli last Saturday.

B. Forrest once said that victory in battle was generally won by the general who earliest got on the field with the most men. A newspaper is a modern institu tion it has never had its counter part in the previous history of the world, but General Forrest's axiom is as true of it as it was of the Gen eral's experience in war. The Observer has the news, and it gets it to more people in a shorter time, than can be reached through any other mediuiri hence its suc cess.
