From tbe Cleveland Leader. "A dispatch from Washington says many of the Republican Congressmen attribute tbe Democratic gains in tbe recent election to the President's course in upholding tbe eivif service law, and for that reason it Is believed a tenons attempt will be made to repeal or modify the law at tbe coming seion ot Cong rets. Tbe Leader Joes not agree witb that belief. Congressmen may talk against tbe civil service law and say tbey favor its repeal, bnt they do not mean what they say. Nearly all tbe Congress men are g;ad that tbe law is in force. It is a great protection to tbem against the norde of office seekers. From the Pittsburg Timas A few years aso. when the electric light began to be introduced, there were manv who predicted that the era ot gas was over and that ita manufacture wonld soon be a dead industry.

A huge anaconda on exhibition at Philadephia severely injured Samoa' Masher, the museum watchman, and crushed to deatb a valuable trick pony.

Instead, It wrig g'ed ont and wrapped itself several times a'wat Hasher. The latter screamed lor h'lp and the pony, Irigblen'd by tbe b'g reptile, began jamp'ng about.

He raised tbe cow himself, and probably hopes the tiny stranger will enjoyfreqaent extracts from one ot bis best works. It is declared that when Congress meets, Spain will tremble. Perhaps so, perhaps not. Congress is sneb and un certainty that it is not sate to predict what the will do. It is doubtful if after all there is much trembling in tbe met tor.

In football it ia all. a brutal strug gle 8till and science plays but a small cart. In o her words, the greatest brutes win. Ralph Watson writes some entertain ing letters froo Stanford University to the Salem Journal. In hie last he says: hearing everyone from Kurinai'stwellett dude to Koble't most aueenlv dame talking of "cramming" and "plugging" and "stuffing." No more do you hear of "cold throw downs" ard "dead flunks" nor do the blushing coeds murmur ot "most awfully agonising mathematical examinations ' or of "sweetly delicious snaps;" intead, the only topics ot con versation now art: Daley's sixty yard run, Cotton's center drive, Chester's goal kicka and other entertaining items oi football prowess. The New York World, in i s report of the Guldenauppe murdt r trial, now go ing oa in that city says : " Women rush to hear the proceedings. They crowded the galleries and revel iu the tale of hor rors." These same women, the Demo. crat will wager, would look with horror ou the game of football on account of itt roughness, and yet tbt Guldensuppe trial is the narration of the cutting up of a human bodv and its distribution in different parts of the city. Theo American Bible Society asked Gov. enn yer ior a contribution. He re sponded in hit unique way as follows: "I acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th inst, asking for a contribution for the American Bible Society ,and have read the inclosed circular, stating that, owing to the shrinkage in the gifts oi the living and the falling off of legacies at the same time, the expenditures of tht society for the last two v.ars have ex ceeded the e wipta by $156,050 I also notice a' New York ditpatcb in theOre gonian that the Bible house Is for tale, as rentals bave diminished nd expenses which were formerly defrayed 'rom this account bave to be met in other ways. 1 sincerely regret to say that the same cause tbat hat been instruuieidal in the -shrinkage ot gifts, the falling off legacies and diminishing of rentals, so crippling to the great wotk of tbe uibie society, has also been instrumental in the shrinkage ot my ability to render It my aid. I hope that every friend of the Bible society and every friend of humanity wII aid in overturning tbe tingln gold basis the cause ol tint universal shrinkage- and in the restoration of ailver aa standard money, whereby the Bible society can be rettored to itt lormtr uaefulnest. and I can be rettored to an ability to aid it."
