nine out of every one hundred demo

dred republicans, look upn civil service
reform as a,, great humbug: uand I
must say that I sometimes feel myself

seems to be pretty generally conceeded
that President Harrison will not differ
widely wkh General Kriapp on the
subject.

Prairie fires in Dakota and Minnes

The fire was driven by a wind of 40

that Kate Zeal I, whom henrshe claim
ed as a -wife, be compelled to live with
her or; him.,., Kate' said she would
doit if Hannah would proved himself
tobe afflan. The Judge ordered an
investigation, and Hannah,' after swear
ing she was a man and thought ..that
that was proof enough, submitting to an
examination, the result of which was
kept secret (by an agreement we sup
pose). Next morning Hannah took
one road and Kate another the one
that led to her home. The presump
tion is that Hannah failed to prove
what she swore to.
The Citizen and lawyers of Ashe
ville are discussing the question wheth-
or not there can be a legal election in
that city this year for mayor and al
dermen. It is claimed, on one side.
that under the new law adopted by the
last Legislature, the regulations in
respect to registration cannot now be
complied with;, and that as the same
act repealed the old law, no valid elec
tion can be held. Judge Gudger dis
sents to this view of the question, and
ives the opinion that an election
under the old law in respect to regis
tration will be valid.
A special act for Salisbury relieves
us of any complications of this sort.
We copied the other day a statement

To this list should be added the re

the appointment of a negro to fill his

The Gambling Cases in Court.
The time of the Criminal Court was
occupied this morning in hearing the
gambling cases. Indictments were re
turned by the grand jury against ten
white men r.nd boys, and sixteen colored
men. The case around which the most
interest centered was that of "Mr. James
A. Reeves, who was charged with keep
ing a gambling house. He was repre
sented by Col. H. C. Jones, and a sub
mission entered, but the witnesses were
examined, nevertheless. Col. Jones
plead for the mercy of the court on his
client, advancing among other reasons of
extenuation that Reeves was hot strong
mentally, and had once been in aumsane
asylum. The judgment of the court was
that Reeves be dismissed upon the pay
ment of the costs and upon condition
that he leave the town. In his remarks
Judge Meares was pretty severe in his
denunciation of gambling. He said that
the place for Reeves was on the chain
gangbut in view of the extenuating cir
cunstancts the judgment was as light as
possible. "Any man who keeps a gam
bling house," said Jndge Meares, "ought
to be sent to the chain gang."
AH the parties indicted
the payment of the costs. Solicitor
Brown wanted to make them all promise
never to gamble again, but he mnM v
carry this point, Charlotte AVrr.
Washington letter. - v - r

WAsiiiXGTOiri April 15, 18S9. "
: 'Sunsef' Cox, the ever-smiling Rep
resentative from New 'York, was met
coining out of the White-House, by
your correspondent, and asked what in
the deuce he was doing in that gang
of place-hunters. "Oh, I simply called
to say good-bye to my old friend Benj.
Harrison, as 1 "am 'afraid these fellows
may worry him to death in their mad
hunt for office before I return to, Wash-
ton; Then as Mr. Cox was leaving
he added: "I feel; very much better
than a little while ago. I have been
through the valley tf the shadow of
political death with the rest , of the
Democrats, and now I am off on a lec
turing tour through Indiana, Ohio, Ill
inois, Missouri and Kansas. Some
thing to make the folks smile, you
know, while I gather in a little mon
ey. I trust thaw shall get no more
eggs than I pay for."
Mr. Cairnaday, the Sergent-at-Arms
of the United States Senate, and a gcod
John Sherman Republican, is charged
by Senator Jones, of Navada, ex-Senator
Mahone and Warner Miller, and
Representative West of New York,
with swindling and forgery in con
nection with his management of the
North Carolina Oil and Creosote Com
pany located at Wilmington N. C. It
is also stated that Cannaday is indebted
to other Senators to the amount of
$30,000 or more for borrowed money.
With the usual audacitv of men of his
kind Cannaday says that when the
case is settled it will have no effect up
on his "personal integrity.
The Republicans have always been
aotorious for their willingness to make
use at all times of United States ves
sels for private pleasure parties and be
ing out of power for four years and
without a precedent for the length of
time has not changed them a particle
in this respect. On Saturday after
noon Assistant Secretary of the Treas
ury Tichenor took a party of friends
from here to Baltimore, where they
got aboard of the U. S. Reveune cut
ter McLane and started on a trip to
Cheasapeake Bay, which lasted from
Sunday morning to Monday morning.
Another Government vessel, the light
house tender, Holly, has been lying at
the wharf here, waiting for three days
to carry President Harrison on a pleas
ure trip down the Potomac. This
looks like a rather early revival of the
old abuses. By summer half a dozen
vessels will be needed for the variou
members of the administration, fors
their families and friends. And the
people will foot the bills. ,
Senator John Sherman has just
proved himself to be a bigger man
with the administration than Repre
sentatives Aicriiniey ana Benjamin
Butterworth combined. Ohio had two
candidates for the position of Sixth
Auditor or t lie J reasnry. une was
backed by Senator Sherman and the
other by Messrs McKinlev and Butter,
worth. The Sherman man, Mr. Coulter
has just been appointed.
Land Commissioner Stockslajrer fears

He shvs there is only about 10,000

within thirty days irom its opening
next Monday.
l ne new aninisrratitn is making a
record for itself on the pension ques
tion. It is going faster than the most
radical had any idea that it would a
short time ago, and ho man can jit this
time foresee the end. A"sitant Secre
tary Bussev, of the' Interior Depart
ment before whom appeals from the
decision of the Commissioner of Pen
sions are heard, seems to outdo the
"Corporal" in his construction of the
law as applied to pensions. It is esti
mated that the decisions of the late
Commissioner Gen. Black which
Russev has already reversed, will cost
th Government more than SI, 000,000.
He should change his name to Buster.
The "Corporal", not to be outdone by
his superior officer, made an order last
week that will cost more than $50,000
a rear. The following is the order:
"Whenever a pensioner is disabled in
a hand or foot in a dejrree entitling
him to $24 a month under the net of
March 3, 1R83, such pensioner shall
by reason of that fact, be en titled to the
rate of S30 n month under the. act of
Angust 4. 1880." Nearlv 800 pension
sionprs cret. an increase of S72 a year,
bv this order, and arrears from Aug. 4,
1880.
