A RAvISHEg RIDDEED WITH BULLETS.
"A special from Moberly, Mo, says
that au armed mob of about 100 men
from adjoining counties came into town
last week and opened fire on J. G. Cor
lew, whom Sheriff Matlock was taking
into the courthouse TO be tried for COM
hitting rape on the person of Mrs.
Crump at a hotel in that city last March.
Corlew ran into the courtroom, follow
ed by three of the mob, where he was
shot again. He theft escaped 10 the
street and fell, but quickly regaining
his feet he received another shot. He
then ran through dry goods store,
closely followed by his assailants; thence
ont into an alley and again into the
street, finally making his way into a
room over a saloon. Here his pursuerS
cornered him and the husband of the
outraged woman ended the pursuit by
firing five more shots into Corlew's DO
dy and one into his forehead. Corlew
died in ten minutes Intense excitement
prevailed while these proceedings were
in progress, aud the officers of the law
made no effort TO stay them.

| itician will recognize the necessity of having 1 the public service kept in at least as good a | condition as 1t is now, for a retrogade move ment might be fatal If he really has the in- terests of his party at heart he will therefore certainly not think of relapsing into the bar
 barous practice of taking the whole govern
 ment machinery to pieces at the beginning of 8 new administration to recompose it of raw
 recruits He will think twice before he ad- vises the dismissal of meritorious officers or
 employees for the purpose of making room for
 mere political favorites. He will be careful to
 do all he can to keep the public service in as
 efficient condition as it has been shown it is now; he will well understand that relapse into
 the old spells and patronage system will be
 just as dangerous to the party as every step
 in the direction of it's abandonment has been
 beneficial to it. The most ordinary worldly
 wisdom will convince him that every step
 forward in the way of systematic and per manent improvement of the service will so much more strongly attach to the party the independent vote, while every backslide into old abuses will discourage and alienate that
 vote, and thus weaken and gradually ruin the chances Of the party. l see, therefore very good reason to hope that not only those who take particular interest in the improvement of the public service, but even party politi- clans who so far have been inclined to sheer at civil service reform, will, in the case of Republican success. see to it that the service does, at least, not deterlorate under the new Republican administration. But we have reason to hope for more than that. General Garfeld's own experience has been extensive enough to make him thoroughly acquainted, not only with the defects of the public ser vice, but also with the means to remedy them and whenever this subject was dis cussed in Congress he has given expression to principles so sound and opinions so well grounded that he would have to abandon one of the best and most honorable parts of his political record if he were not only to keep the service good as it is, but if he did not do all he could to improve it in those things which need improvement. I think, there fore, that the business men of the country while they may not expect the millennium, have very good reason to look for business like conduct of the government if James A. Garfield is elected President of the United States.
 The probability, not to say certainty, that this will be a result Of Republican victory November is powerful reason for voting the Republican ticket on that day. In the event of Democratic victory the distribu- tion of the spells will do immense damage to the public interests, and there will be a lapse into the ''barbarous" methods of mana- ging the civil service which, at least in some important respects, have now been done away with.
