As a party niim who 1ms followed his party oftener thnn ho hits led it, l'resitlont McKinloy tlmls himself con fronted with sonio hard party nuts, ono at least of which will be cracked before Jnmiary Oth, whon congress re assembles. This nut relates to tho cirii service, nuil consists of a plain proposition submitted to the president by snino of the leading senators nnd representatives, which may bo briefed as follows: "Will you in tho oxorciso of yor unquestioned authority, issuo ai order annulling all extensions of tho clvJl sorvico rules made by your predecessor, nnd thus snvo tho party in congress from tho Impending fac tional fight?" There Is not tho slight est doubt that tho republicans tin tho house postponed tho debato on tho Ivil serrlco sootlon of tho legislative, xooutiTo 6and Judicial appropriation bill until aftor tho holiday rucess solely for tho purpose of giving tho president an opportunity to tako such action as would ranko tho dobato unnecessary. Notwithstanding IMr.McKlnley's flat footed declaration in his Januual mes sage In favor ofjjtho presont civil sor vico conditions, many of his party ex pect hint to do what is asked of him. They say thatwhou holrote his mes sage lie did uot 'realizo tho extent of republican sentiment against tho wholesale oxtousion of civil sorvico rales nndo by Mr. Cleveland. Tho rnon who asked Mr. McKinloy to do this, told him that If ho, failed to do so the tight over civil service among tho republicans In both branches of con gress would make it impoiblo for tho party to win in tho eongiessional elec tion noxt fall, and would probably te Miltjln the lepenl ot the entire .civil serrieo law, as the democrats in c.iuimis docidodthit t'ijy would Jvotojsolldly for repeal, but would notjvoto for any bill propping 3iuHlllic.itlon;i which would only result In toplaeitig domo. aruU, now In ollleo, with ropubliouis.

It prohibits the bringing of seal skins, in any con. ilition, into tho United States under penalty of confiscation. As this coun try Is tho best market for sealskins, this law the bill will probably be signed by the president befoie this l lead will bo likely to open the eyes of both Canuiln and England to tho fact that this country means business. Thnso who know what's going on arc predicting that another batch of dis barred attorneys will be tho result of the investigation now being made by acting Commissioner of Patents (ree ley, of numerous complaints against so-called patent attorneys, who get money from inventors under protono of securing and selling forelpn patents on their inventions, when thoy know that It Is impossible to get good foreign patents on the inventions or to sell them. With Mr. (ireeley's Mieeoss in conducting to the desired issuo the K i cutest and most important Investi gation in the history of the patent olllce flesh in mind, his success in his new elloil to raise the stautlatd of uioials of the patent bar, is not doubted V Senators Tellei and Woleott led such a vigorous light on the nomination of Charles l'agu llryan to lie ministir to China, that his nomination, although inado out, was not sent to the senate. Exactly why tho Colorado senators Hindu this light is uncertain; they say that llryan has neither the judgment nor tho experience to till such an im portant position, liryau's nomination is credited to Illinois, but Senators Culloin and Mason, while not opposing him, nro not doing anything to help him.

JACOBS OIL IT HAS MAGIC. ! ! Kentucky Is Aroused. The statement that a bottle of whisky made in 18S0 is to be used to christen tho battleship Kentucky has tiroueiI a deep and wide-spread feeling of re sentment in the .statu for which the vessel is named. It is probable that this feeling will take the form of it pub lic protest and that theilcieciation will bo prevented. Said Colonel Hoinestietch who is stilling at the l'nlincr House "Time is no mistaking the fact that our people :ui) gi cully stiri ell up over this chris tening matter. When it was liist stated that a bottle of whisky would be used in the christening little attention was paid to it. Wu heard that li(tior of some kind was used in christening .ships, aud, not being a nautical people, wu did uot think it seemly to obtrude our views of what was proper on such an occasion. Even after it became generally understood that tho pait played by the liquor was simply to bo spilled and wasted it did not occur to us to organi.o in opposition to the pro gramme. Without giving much thought to tho matter we supposed that it small quantity of sonio inferior and inexpen sive brand would naturally bo used." "Hut," continued tho colonel, throw ing out his chest, "wo havo lately learned that It Is proposed to spill a wholo quart of 1880 whisky ovor tho iron ami thlrstlcss front of that ship and wo propose to stop it. It is noth ing less than Hying in tho faco of Prov idence." It is intimated that unless tho com mitteo will consent to tho substitution of colored water tho militia will bo en lied out.

In these latter days people cry hard times and cat threo good meals n day with pie on tho side, aud pap thought whito bread was high lifo in his timo and pio was out of tho question. Thoy cry hard times while their children nro sent to school well shod and well clothed, and pap trudged threo miles through the snow to school when lie was a boy, and never knew what it was to own n pair of boots until ho was old enough to .spark tho girls. They cry haul times whllu they ride in buggies and carriages and an ox team and a bob sled was a bouan.a to pap. They cry hard times while they ride on bicycles to town, aud a bicycle in pap's lime would have turned grandad's hair gi ay and make pap look for tall tim ber. And they cry hard times and use a riding plow, tho binder and tho sep arator, and great snakes! pap used to plow in on ml stumps with a ono horsu plow, baik his shins on sprouts, aver ago losing one too uail a week on tho stones, cradle his wheat and thresh it on the barn lloor with a short stick tied onto a long ono. Thoy cry haul limes while toasting their shins around a base burner and In pap's time thoy scooted over the Kansas prniriu with a sack picking up bulTalo chips, and vvo'io still flitting teeth. They cry haul times and all tako a day on" show day and attend the three tinged aggie gallon of world wide wonders, buy each kid a led lemonade and a blue balloon, and pup, when a boy, wouldn't have Known a balloon from a band wagon.
