OF course there are "ugly rumors"
from Mexico of Crook's annihilation
by the Apaohos , There never yet was
an Indian campaign where the com
plete destruction of the command
was not reported a half a dozen times
i before the nowa of final victory
reached the settlements and civiliza
tion. General Crook IB shrewd , care
fnl and aggressive. Late reports will
place the annihilation in a different
quarter among the Ohirlcahaua hair
raisers.
A FAIT of Sixteenth street has
boon ordered paved by the council.
Why not all of It ? Quo of the most
weighty reasons for paving the entire
street from Farnam to the bridge Is
that It will receive the heavy hauling
from the Northwestern depot. Our
merchants , too on the northern end o
this thoroughfare have a right to ox
i
peot liberal treatment from the conn
oil. The whole street to Sherman
avenue ought to bo paved with sub
atantlal stone block.

However that may bo , the proverbial
dispatch of Jersey justion received anew

ODO Ellis , a burglar , at Asbury Park ,
was caught trying to enter a house on
Saturday , was Indicted on Monday ,
tried and sentenced to eight years In
the penitentiary on Tuesday , and on
"Wednesday was behind the Lira at

makes
"Jersey justice" u
wholesome nnd a holy terror to crim

If the Ill-mannered boors who
ewcop into the opera house a quarter
of an hour after the tlmo for the per
formance to begin hoard the disagree-
nblo comments made upon them by
respectable people , they would sot
.
their watchea half an hoar ahead
rather than dlsiurb the audlcnca bj
their vanity and clatter. Theodore
Thomas has a way of looking the
doors on the minute sot for the per
formance and keeping them closed
until the lutermiislon. This Is a llttlt
severe , but It would bo In the line of :
a healthy morality In Omaha. K
would stop a great deal of profanlt ]
la the opera house.
THE COLORED 'CONVENTWf-
A convention of the colored rue
1ms boon called to moot In Washing
ton la September. Each alato is en
titled under the call to at least one
delegate , nnd thcro Is to bo a delegate
for each 25.0CO of the colored popu
latlon. The object of this convention
Is to study the situation of the colored
poole of the United States , and to
devise measures for rolltf from the
grievances under whlah they claim
they ere scfTorlng. It Is charged
In the call that the negro Is debarred
from hia civil and political rights ,
that ho is neither paid snfllslcntly for
his labor and protected In the col
lection of what Is duo him , and that
ho does not have a fair chance In the
public schools.
Now several of theao alleged griev
ances will not bo gainsaid. But this
U through no fault of the law or of
the party with which the colored
people have allied themselves. Oar
laws guarantee them political equali
ty and the civil rights bill goes as far
as possible to protect them In the
Boclal equality which they have de
manded , The complaint that their
labor Is not tufliclcntly remunerated
Is not confined to the black , The
price of nrgro labor llko that of whlto
labor Is governed by certain laws
which all the legislation and resolu
tions of a hundred conventions will
not alter. The trouble with the mass
of southern negroes is that they fall to
appreciate the value of industry and
enterprise and thrift. If they persist
In doing only a half the work done by
a whlto man they cannot expect a
whlto nuc'a pay.
So far as the abnsoa in the collec
tion of money owed the negroes by
tholr employers la concerned they
ought to bo remedied. And If tbo
political rights of our colored people
are Ignored , public sentiment will con
demn and reform the abuse just as
soon as the fact la made clear , But
the very worst manner in which to at
tack theto abuses la through the crea
tion of a race movement. Appealing
to a clans prejudice ) is not the best way
to attract the calm and deliberate at
tention of thu public.
When Frederick Douglas said , acme
years ago , that "tbo negro must work
out his own salvation , " ho spoke a
great political truth. Bat the politi
cal salvation of the colored people does
not Ho through an independent black
party. As parties are now constituted
the enforcement of the laws protect
ing the colored people In the enjoy
ment of tholr rlghta devolves upon the
most intelligent and powerful elements
of the body politics. It Is much bat
ter for the colored people that it
should lomaln In the name hands.
CIVIL SERVICE RULE * .
Twenty-two rules have boon anb <
milted by the civil service commls
slonors , and have boon approved by
the president and hisfccablnot. Some
of these contain several subdivisions ,
so that there are thirty regulations
for the reform of the service on the
plan of oompolitivo examinations.
Under the fifth rule the civil service
is divided into three divisions or
classes. The first class embraces the
departments at Washington ; the
second takes iu the customs ,
service throughout the country , and
the third the postal service , Including
the local postoffioo at Washington.
The rules are made to apply to all
ouatcm houses and postoiHoDs giving
employment to fifty persons ozolnelvo
of laborers. Tlulo six provides for
open competitive cxunlnatbns both
In testing the fitness of candidates
wishing to enter the service and these
desirous of securing promotion from
a lower to a higher grade. The reel
of the rules as condensed by The
Cleveland Loader are as follows :
"Tho examinations are to bo prac
tical in character , and will tmbraco
penmanship , original letter writing
the fundamental rules of arithmetic
together with fractions , percentagi
and Interest , bookkeeping , clement
of the English language , particular ! ] 7 )
orthography and the proper constiuc
tlou of sentences , and , lastly , elc
monts of the geography , history on
government of the United States
For positions in which a lower grad
of education will erffice , the commie
slon are authorized to limit the exam-
( nation to permanthlp , copying , cr-
ihography aud the fundamental rules
of arithmetic. The commission ,
however , nro not debarred from hold
ing examinations of a higher grade ,
or upon additional or epoclal sub
jects , when ncccesaty to test
the fr.noas of candldr-toa for any
special place or branch of thoeorvicc.
No person can ba examined for the
clarified postal eervlco who is under
sixteen or over thirty five years of
ago , or for the classified cervluo ut
Washington , If under eighteen or over
forty-five years of age ; nnd no ono
can bo examined for a custom house
Inspectorship who Is not of legal ago.
The olghth rule forbids the question
ing of candidates upon religious aud
political views and affiliations , and
provides that the commission and its
examiners shall dlecountouanco all die-
closures bcforo thorn of any religions
or political opinion by or concerning
applicants for examination , or by or
concerning any ouo whoso name
- has boon registered for appoint
ment. Candidates for examination
will bo obliged to state in advance
their names' , residences , poatoffico :
address , citizenship , age. place ofd
birth , moral character , health and
capacity for the public service , right [
of preference by reason of military ot
naral service , business or employment. > , .
\ nr.d rceldenco for ( ho preceding five
tears , education , and anoh other facts
i the commission mav protcrlbo. The
r.cmptlons from examination nro
vary few , nnd umbraco confidential
clerks Or secretaries cf hrads of do-
jArtmeuta or cflhos , cishlcre or col
loctorc , superlutondontu of money
> rdor divisions In poetcfihcB , thu
direct custodians of money above the
f.rado of aeslstant cashier or
teller , for vrhoeo fidelity an
other cfllcor Is under ofllclal
bonds , persons employed exclusively
In the secret service of the govern
ment or as translators , nnd parsons
whoso employment la exclntlvely pro
fessional , such ns lawyers and doctors.
None of the persons so exempted can
bo transferred , appointed , or pro
mated , unices in some exceptcd place ,
without undergoing nn examination.
Any violation of the rnles or of the
civil acrvlfo act relating to political
assessments will be doomed good canoe
for the removal of any < ffier employed
in the executive civil service. The
balance of the rules apply to the government -
ornmont of the commUslon and the
service , and are of no special Interest
to the public ,
THE reported robbery of Major
Wesson , paymaster in the army , turns
out to bo n heavy embezzlement of
the public funds. Major Waa ion
accounts are discovered to bo $5 COO
abort , and ho has confecsed to a fur
ther disposition of $18500 which
have boon secured by the govern
ment. The defaulting paymaster is
now under arrest , awaiting ciurt mar
tial and will undoubtedly bo sentenced
to dlsmieeal from the army and a term
In the penitentiary.
To many residents in Iowa , and
especially in Davis county , whore the
old and respected father of Major
Wasson still resides , the no wo will bo
a severe shock. Wasaon waa n gradu
ate of Woat Point , a man of remark
able intellectual and scclal attain
ments. He led his class In the mili
tary academy aud resigned in 1872
to accept the appointment of professor
in the University of Toklo , Japan.
While thoto ho married the dnugh + cr
of Minister Blngham and returned to
this country upon receiving the ap
pointment of paymaetcr in the army
through the personal itilaencoof the
Grants Since receiving his com
mission In 187C ho has boon serving in
the department of Texas.
Major Wesson's troubles show that
mental abilities and a West Point
training do not always go hand in
hand with moral strength and intcg
rity of character. The cane will
probably be used as another argument
why disbursing officers of the army
should not bo chosen moro for tholr
business abilities than for tholr army
record.
THE county assessors have begun
their work of lisling the real estate
in this city for assessment. If they
are dieposod to do their duty they w
have no difficulty in arriving at a fair
valuation is every instance. . Let
them consult thoieoorda in the county
clerk's eiffiee and examine the prices
paid on the last transfers of properties
in the different blocks in tholr
wards , Where no transfers have
baen made in a particular block dur
ing the year , the prlco of property In
the tdj-lnlng blocks will prove a
good basis for a fair asieesment.
This is especially necessary in listing
property in the additions. Last
year's prices are of no moro value in
arriving at the real value of property
In the olty'd limits than hat year's
prices on the Now York stock board.
Property has doubled aud quadrupled
in many Instances , and the ciiy
meat rooolvo the benefit of the ad
vance.
