In view of its declarations it is an anfavorable record which this admin- Jstration has established thus far con- sperning civil service reform. After Xaving declared therefor it has pro- where opportunity presented and endeavored in many other through legislative act to eak down the system which has of such value and means so much successful government. The latest instance is to be moted the action of the senite in the of the legislative and judicial | which contains the provision in sonnection with the appointment of eammercial attaches, a new class of efficials to be sent abroad under the department of commerce, thHat they shall be named “without examination nnder the civil service ruled.” This means the continuation of a which became evident some ago of taking every chance of getting back to the spoils system. ‘What is wanted in this as in the con- sular. service is the highest grade of sfficfency, and such is not to be ob- lained through the passing out of such offices in payment for palitical debts, {:r‘lrdlen of what pariy is in ol com- This disposition to play with ‘ernment- should have been given he stern rebuke which it deserved at the start.

This is only an effort to make ‘a wholesale opening ,for office seekers and the continuation of a method of government operation which puts spolls ahead of efficiency. PRODUCE A REAL “PLOT.” The effort of the president to se- cure action iupon the trust legislation through attempting ‘to impute wrong methods to legitimate opposition is not finding favor eéven among his friends. He may be able thereby to drive con- gress Into action through the unjust interpretation which he has given to She utterances of business and public epinfon but there are many among Bis friends and supporters who re- gret his action. None has backed the president more persistently than the New York Post, but in grieving over his “plot” revela- tion it says: “It is too much like a faraway imitation of Mr. Roosevelt's Standard Oil secret stratagems. And Mr, Wilson's conspirators when un- veiled appear to be rather ridiculous Ogures.

Over-confidence and the failure to the successful defense of any trophy must be given their place in explain- English team. There can be no dis- playing of Lord Wimborne's team, but the difficulties which he experienced in securing the players led to the dis- the retention of the cup as, a fore- which is bound to cause serious trou- ble in every contest as the first game indicated. There was a different con- test at the second meeting when the American team showed up at nearer its true skill, The English victory was, however, won on its merits. The visitors play- ed around the defenders when horse- manship and polo playing were called the for and from the opening until final drive they were on their mettle. they put up soon convinced the Amer- ican players that it was not a match of past reputations but a contest of skill, and as the international trophy goes back across the water it is with a realization that the better team won. This should mean a stimulation to this great amateur sport into which professionalism has ad yet made no invasion, for having brought the cup to this side of the Atlantic once, it can be done again through the presen- tation of the kind of polo in all games of which the American players are capable. EDITORIAL NOTES. What are the mediators going to do about admitting the Villa delegates? Montana doesn't seem to have prof- ited by the bad example of its neigh- ‘bor, Colorado: —— The difficulty doesn’t seem to be so great in placing people on farms as it does in keeping them there.

All England was in a ferment of ex citement In 1830 on account of the dis. covery of a plot to overthrow the king, to murder every member of the cabi- net, to seize the public buildings in London and to proclaim a new gov- ernment. This is known in history as the Cato street conspiracy for the reason that the conspirators met in a loft on Cato street, Londonm, and planned the outrage. The plan had been suggested three years previous, but the conspirators lacked a leader until they at length ‘found = Arthur Thistlewood. Thistlewood was an ex-officer in the British army. rich widows, squandered _their for- tunes, and in his travels in France and America conceived the idea of forcing a republican form of government vpon Engiand. He set about this by incit- ing riots and by other militant meth- ods until finally the bigger conspiry Presented itself. > The conspirators knew that the cab- inet ministers sometimes met at infor- mal dinners at each others’ .-houses. Thistlewood arranged to be notified of the next dinner; and with a picked gang of thugs he planned to burst up- on the diners and put them all to death. They were then to seize the Bank of England, the mansion house and the tower of London. After they had accomplished all this they plan ned to proclaim a “provisional gov- ernment” for the country. Edwards, one of Thistlewood's lieu- tenants, was chosen to find out the time of the meeting of the cabinet, and he reports that they, would gather at Lord Harrowby’s house on the even- ing of Feb. 22, 1880. So this date was set for the wholesale slaughter. It was arranged that all the con- spirators would meet early in_ the evening of this date, well armed but two, who were to watch the mansion and report when the party were all assembled When the watchers were satisfied that all ¢he cabinet were pre- sent, they set off to Cato street to give the signal. Before they reached the loft, however, a cordon of police had surrounded the house. As they swooped down upen the criminals they fought like cornered: rats, and Thistlewood and several companions succeeded in escaping. A big reward was offered for their capture, and the ringleader was caught the following day. The way the plot was discovered was through He had married two ki H M1 i you flocking in her w: You are right beside little in the slit skirt about twenty inches wide, and the hat with a foot and a half anaemic feather. on it that is warranted to jab out every eye within a block!

It is the fashion to speak dispar- agingly of relatives, but they are a part of the environment of nature, and if you get nothing but annovance from them something ails you. Yeu might as well curse the sun and stars as hate relatives. There be hot loves and wayward loves, and they have their place; but blessed is the man, and thrice blessed the woman, that loves the people that ought to be loved. o There are grandmother and grand- father, for instance. The child that has them not has missed one of the sweetest elements that mdke memory happy. They understand children bet- ter than parents for they have learned that so many things that worry par- ents do not much matter. And plenty of brothers and sisters. A solitary child in a house a lame soul. He can never get that sound view of the world that comes to the member of a full family. As for the babies, it's only & sort of imitation family where there is none. The very best ingredients of our character come from dealing with babies. ‘What is happier than a houseful of young folks, courting age? The only Wwholesome, delightful and cheering disease in or out of the medicine bocks is lovesickness. When we grow past its agonizing stages we still ought to see it in others around us. Most cranks and dried up folks and pessimists and di le people are victims of small families. They have been deprived of that wholesome flow of the humanities that comes from a full set of relations. There is always joy in eating at the table where there are thirteen chil- dren and a small army of grand- children, and all about and every- where—love.

And yet as it eventually turned out, he was probably one of the worst of the crim- inal lot, and upon his escape, when things became too warm for him, a reward was offered for his capture, but this was never brought about. On the 8th of March a special com- mission was issued to the lord chief justices of England for the trial of the Cato street conspirators, against whom true bills' for high treason were found on the 27th and the trials commenced with that of Thistlewood on the 17th of April. Eleven prisoners were in- cluded in the indictment. * v At the trial the history and detalls of tha plot were minutely detailed by Adams, an accomplice. Four more witnesses were called to confirm his statements. Hidem, who gave the warning to Lord Harrowgate, the two Monuments and Dwyer, an Irish brick- layer. The defense attempted by the pris- oners’ counsel was necessarily of a desperate character. They admitted the intention to assasinate ministers, but urged that the whole evidence of high treason rested on the statements of_the accomplices. ‘When called up for judgement. This- tlewood declared that “he was murd- | ered, according to the etiquette of the court” because not allowed after the close of his counmel’s speech to call witnesses to prove what a villain Dwyer was, and that Adams and Hi- den were swindlers. At last Thistle- wood became so violent in his address as to require the interference of the court. o Ings, anwther of the conspirators, threw the whole biame on Bdwards and denounced him as the real instiga- tor.
