Mr J t'arkor Yonzov , the at Baltimore appointed by President Cleveland by and with the nd\ ice and consent of Senator ( lornmn , Is proud of the fact thnt ho is arclontloss nnil tmeuni- liromNlng democratic partisan of tlio lliorougli pnced .Jnrksoniau kind. It is notn'tnemliered ( hit when Mr. Yeft/oy was an apiilicant for the olliro he now holds ho was notably demonstrative in proclaiming the extreme character of his partisanship , for had ho been It is qullc probable that Mr. Cleveland would not have preferred him. Very likely ho , as did numerous other democrats who have inposed upon thn president , hllowed It to bo thought that hn was tilled with ad miration of HIP policies wbleh the presi dent had proclaimed should be the guide of his administration , civil orviuo reform being chief among them. Your democrat who wants olllco has rare capability in tlio at t of duplicity , nnd thn .Maryland ( product isn'l behind thn rankest growth of any other locality. Hut whether or not the H.tltimorc postmaster marked his real snnllmeiits before appointment , he was only a very brief lime In olllee when ho began to show In the most conspicu ous and decisive manner of what sttltl'he isjmadc. Mr. Vea/ey found in the otllco 251 re publicans ami six democrats , all butlifty- ono of whom were appointed befoio the civil service law went into otl'ect. The duly that lirst urgently addressed Itsulf to the partisan mind of tne now post master was to replace the non-civil ser vice republicans , numbering 800 , with democrats , and hn wont aboil its per- formanci ) systematically. Ho got rid of tin-so republicans just as rapidly as was practicable , nuxt of them for the solo reason that they wore republicans , and in making selections from the civil ser vice lists eortillcd to him ho was most careful to select only democrats , depart ing regretfully from this rule in but a tow cases from necessity. Mr. Vea/ey had gone on with his process of elimi nating republicans from olllco because they were republicans , and appointing democrats because they were democrats , until ho had very nearly cleaned all "the rascals" out , when it occurred to someone that this course might be an infraction , at least of the spirit , of the civil service law. The mutter found its way to the commission , and Commis- sionet Lyman repotted llio facts with tin opinion that Mr. Veaxoy luul violated tlio law. Vea/.ey replied defending his course , of which ho had evidently beeoma proud , since it had biought him wide spread notoriety and doubtless a host of onconratrmg encomiums from fellow- partisans. The answer of tlio civil service commis sioners to the defense putforwaul by the Haltlmoro postmaster very ell'eotually impales that partisan , and is furthermore valuable as the most careful and conclu sive exposition that has been given in an ollieial way of the spirit and intent of the civil service law. It Is held to bo con trary to the spirit of thu net to remove' any person from tlio classified civil ser vice for purely partisan reasons , and equally n violation of the law for an ap pointing olHcor to make any ofTort to ascertain the political opinions or allilia- tions of an applicant for a place in the olassillotl fiorvico , or to discriminate in favor of or against an applicant because of the applicant's political opinions or alliliatmns. On the contrary it is the duty of the appointing ollicor to discoun tenance all attempts to disclose the po litical opinions of tlio applicant , the in hibition of the law in respect of this matter being just as binding upon an otlieer having the power of re moval nnd appointment as upon the commission. In n word the coiumUsion ors held that under the civil boivico law there must bo an absolute and complete disregard of nil political considerations in the matter of appointments. Tlio as sumption of Mr. Veazoy that the commis sion lias no right to inquire into the cause of ronioviils is denied so far as relates to removals made for political reasons. The oonoludiiig paragraph of the com- missionera' report will bo found no less interesting to partl'an ollieials than the oilier portions. While declining to dis cuss the mistakes or rtliortoomings of the past , tlio commissioners convoy tlio assur- anoo that they are determined that in the present the civil service act ami rules .shall be executed in their spirit as well as in their letter , that all action under them shall be non-partisan , ami that no viola tion of the act or rules called to ( ho atten tion of the commission shall escape its denunciation , The most ultra apostle of civil service reform could ask no more. The Liuiils to tlio South. There is very little probability that the bill of Mr. I'Vye , which passed tie ) United States sumito some time ngo , providing for a convention \Vashington pcxt year of representatives of the United States and of tlio states of Central and South America , with a view to promoting closer political and commercial relations between this country ami the southern half of the hemisphere , will be acted upon in the houne , If , indeed , any atten tion lit till Is clvou l. That body has quite enough of other mattet's On hand which have been unduly do'aycd ' to keep it fully employed during the proba ble remaining time of the session , and it booms very likely that somu of these which cannot bo loft for future consider ation must bo slighted , rnrthorniore , the present house at best is not a business body , and anything that has reference purely to the material interests of the country , unmixed with polities and there fore ollering no opportunity to the polit ical leaders tlioro , can command very little interest or attention , licsidcs , the measure referred to did not originate in a direction to com mend it to democratlo con sideration , however confessedly merito rious lU object. The fact that the name of Mr. Blaine is remotely associated with the plan is quite enough of Itself to cause the measure to bo ignored by the present house. It is a safe prediction that if ever such n conference as the bill of Mr. Frvo proposes is provided for , it will be done by another and not a democratic con gress. Mcauwhilo it is Interesting to note the figures presented by the bureau of statis tics showing the great and growing trade of the region to the south whioh Is the incentive to more intimate cotnnioicial relations between the United States and those countries , The bureau tables show m round llgur&i that the foreign com- mcrco of Mexico Amounted in 1683 to fCO.QOO.OOO , while that ot the Central American states for ISSI amounted to 4JS.OOO.OOO. Of tiiU loUl of $107QvO- 000 , the ftilted Slatcssharcda little more than one-third , ( Jioat Hritaln and Trance getting nearly two-thirds. The com merce of all the West India Islands in ISSfl amounted to a little less than $251 , 000,000 , of which the United States .shared to the extent of only about thirty pet cent in ovportd , though in botli Import ? and exports the nlmrc of this country reached sixty-two pei cent. The foreign commerce of Soutl America amounted In 1933 to the mag- niliccnl total ol $ O.V , SOO,000 , of whicli Hraxil had about one-third , i In the thir teen years from l TO to lASJl the foielgn trade of the Argentine Republic , ono ol the most progressive of the South Ameri can states , nearly doubled , reaching in the lalter year | iH,00,000 : ! ( , while all the other states realr/ed a huge increase ol their trade. Of this vast trade the United States shateil in cvpotts to the extent ol only II 7 percent , and in tlio total enl 1KJ ! l per cent , Great IJrltain and France getting the remainder In almost equal proportions. Summing up , the bureau gives tin value of the foreign trade of all the conn trios south , in 1881 , ns $1Oil,000,000 , In M liich the United States shared to the ox1 lent of ! ! 3 per cent. During the thirteen years from 1870 to 18811 , the share of thl * country in the export trade to all tin "ountries south Increased only three tenths of olio per cent , while in some di rections , as In the Spanish 'West Indies , wo lost ground. The export trade ol ( Jrcal Hrituin to South America is more than three times as largo as ours , anil that of Franco more than twice as large , We have gained in the Central American trade and ( treat Hrit aln has lost , though sllll having n much larger pot lion of the trade of that region than the United States have , The o figures carry their own argument as to the desirability ol incieasing commercial relations with the countries to the south , so that they may be induced to buy more largely of our product ? , and how this may best bo done is certainly a question which might very properly receive tlio | attention of American slates- men. Whether or not the proposed con- ferouqo would accomplish anything toward tlio solution of the problem is a question which cannot bo determined in advance , but it would in any event be an expedient winch if not effective would be entirely harmless.

Midsummnr'.s heat has had its usual ef fect upon business , but the general nun c- ment is .strong nnd Healthy. 15iiMiiesson , tlio whole , is decidedly better than it was ul this time lasi year , and there tire indi cation : , that the partial lull now apparent in some branches will bo succeeded by an earlier resumption of activity than for several yeai.i past. The conditions are ripe for improvement in nearly nil de partments of trade , and merchants every where are looking hopefully forward tea a prosperous fall .season. The past ucek has been chiolly notable for the activity and ovcitemeiit prevailing in the specu lative markets , in most ol which there have , been frequent and important changes in values. The stimulus to speculative investment comoa largely from the reports of damage to growing crops. Aside from this , then ; has been sustained activity in the legiti mate demand for wool , cotton and hop products and n continued tendency tn improvement in trade and prices in dry goods , liiibinoss failures last wcelc num bered 159 in the United States and ! > 0 in Canada , or a total of 171) ) , which is rathoi above the average of recent weeks.

Produce market ; , \\n\o \ \ quieted down somewhat from tie | fever of last week and prices have ro-aotod from four to live cents from the ) highest point , but the market still continues feverish and mi settled. With smaller reserves of wheat in Knglish and continental markets , an estimated shortage in the crops of JJussia , India and Australia , and late if not re ducuif hnrvestn in Franco and England , the situation seems favorable for a more active export demand for the new wheat crop of tills country , if the prices arc not unduly advanced by upemilation at the outset of the cereal yunr Kor the past week export business has been seri ously retarded by the excited condition of the markets , and the dullest of the shipping trade has necessitated a reduc tion of two to two and a half pence in carrying rates of the regular lluus oi transatlantic steamers.

This fact is strikingly illustrated in the vindictive assaults which are being made on Sena tor Van Wyck by the railroad prc-s. Some of these spotted leop.irds , and notably the .singed eat of the N.ye breed , imagine they can make ihc people believe that Van Wvelc lias gene over to the Union Pacitic , which owns them body and soul.

When the de cisive hour comes for action they will all join hands and set on their spotted leopards to fasten their fangs and claws into Van Wyck , providing always that they do not fear that Van Wyck , backed by the people , will be too many for them. nokors Coming to Oinnlin. Chicago seems to bo somewhat agitated over the fact that the Omaha lie stock market is haing a remarkably rapid growth , together with the beef and pork packingbusiness. . The Chicago A'ciws of Monday contains a halt column to prove that Chicago packers "will re main" there. 11 announces that Armoui & Co. , Libby , McNeil & Libby , nnd kelson Morris say the rumors that they will move their business to Omaha are untrue. The fact is thai tlicro have been no such rumors. Statements have been published , however , to the otlect that those linns , as well : is other Chicago houses , propose to establish branch con cerns in Omaha. ' It should bo borne in mind thai the Hammond dressed beef company , the largest of the kind in this country , has an immense house in South Omaha ; Fowler's largo now pork paekr/ig / house is rapidly approaching completion , and work lias been begun on Ltpton'.s ihouso. Other packing houses are to bo built at an early lay , and among llioni no doubt will bo one by Armour , 'whicli will bo larger even than that qf Fowler. Ar mour followed Fowler to Kansas City , and he proposils to follow him to Omaha. It ' is not ex pected that the large } Chicago packers \\ill move their entire business to Omaha in the immediate future , but that they will eventually' como hoio thoie is .but little doubt.

It seems that Harvard's rcmitationasa seat of learning is in danger of eclipse by its reputation as a social center for the pleasure and extravagance of rich men's sons , 'I lie Boston Herald raises a voice of timely protest against thestyleof life at Cambridge set by men with moro money than other qualifications for a collegiate course. It merely states an old truth when it says that n few spendthrift sons of millionaire * can demoralise n college quicker than almost any other inlluence. Harvard has secured a reputation that attracts thither all the rjoh young mon of the country who souk its diplomas for the name of the college and not as u mark of scholarfhip. Some of tlie.se. live at the ratu of $1 000 to $16,000. a year , . , , , ,1 tjlu pace of living they set excites tlt ) ) pniiila- tjon of their fellow-students until the whole college takes its tone from itsrui- | | ust and often its most woithlcss olass. The natural ro.sult ot this must bo to dis- eourngo young men of moderate or slen der means from availing themselves of tlio many advantages ot Harvard. They do not care to subject their feelings to the moitilication of nn ostentatious life in abeoointion with mun of apparently limitless means unit inclinations to lav ishly display. Harvard is full of the lat ter class , while the former are taking their studious habits and higher man- Jiood to U o Jess pretentious rivals. - o - Misplaced Gpujldpnco. HI.mifti ltrp\tt \ > llQxn.

Wlilskj' Di-lnkcr.s Suffer SJos't Keep Cool nml ICnt SpnHiiftly. Cincinnati Times-Star In these days when the mercun is hustling alwiit tin top story of the thermometer , when tin Average citi/en is prone to Ieive ev < 'ii the front gate to receive unobstructed a needed supply of fre h nir , and when sun- sttoko is among the | io < i ibilities for everybody exposed to the lieice heal of Old Sol's perpendicular rajs , advice as to thn best Way of avoiding sucli n calamity is ot special interest to everybody. It was to get such aihlce from experts that a Times-star man called on Dr. H , S. McKee and V. \ \ . Lnngdon , ot Seventh street this morning lr McKee said "The best and simplest general treat ment is to remove Ihc patient to n cool place and reduce hl tomper.uuro by up- jilication of craked ice to his head. Keep him ( inlet , put him on a light iiomishinjr diet , keep bis bowels open , and ho will pull through all ilgut. Pet sons who drink intoxicants and especially whisky , nrn moro susceptible to sunstroke than those who tlo not dtlnk. " lr F W Lnngdon said. "There are what you might cull two forms of sim- strokecharacterized by the temperament and the physical condition of the patient The forms require dilVerent modes of treatment When the patient is muscu lar , full blooded nnd well nourished , such ns teamsters and laborers , a prompt np plicaticm of doplctho and sedative tome dies is necessary to ward oil possible con gestion of the brain , paralysis apoplexy etc. The sliong leactlon of such a patient from the temporary and over powering irritation ot the heat is as much to bo tunred ns the llrst ellects of the stroke which cuts its victim down. Ac cording to some nuthorities the old- fashioned remedy of blood-lolling Is of special value In such cases When the patient is feeble and poorly nourished , or reduced by disease or overwork , which is _ oharacteraed by fceblo pulse , low- vitality and circulatory powers , the sedative form of treatment should bo spnrinsly used , and ' the implication of ice bo local , not general. Grout harm is often caused by reckless treatment by ignorant but well meaning persons , and in nil cases , if possible , thu aid en"a phy sician should be called. Yes , 1 consider a light nourishing diet of the greatest consequence in all cases of sunstroke ) Then the patient should bn kept cool , and nothing should bo allowed to excite him.

About the middle of the sixteenth century there was one William Kow , a pawnbroker , who during wet wunthcr was in the habit of taking down the tre.o ) | balls , and. with Hie .yaul measure , pushing them , billiard fashion , from the countdr into the shuts. In time the idea ot a board with side pockets suggested jlself A | dnck-Iotte.r MS. says : "Muster William KPW djd ipako one hoanlu whereby a game is played with three balls , and al ) the yoig ) | ) ipen were greatly recreated thereat , ohielly tlin young clergymen from bt.
