What's the use of talking about
civil service reform when we have Il
million and Il half of illitcrate voters
to block the wheels of progress? 1t
is this terrible wall of illitcracy
against which the sense and practice
of reform must beat. Abolition was
something that could be easily UNI
derstood. Its alphabet was the first
necessity of good government and
progressive society, freedom of the
individual. In Ireland the dense ig-
norance Of its population is not at
loss to receive great principles of re-
form for tn, question expressed sim
ply in the language Of necessities.
The want their daily bread. But Of
fees given to men who win an easy
prominence in the lower levels of in
telligence and character, mixed up
inextricably within the greatness of
leading statesman, and regarded by
the masses as a fit prey for anybody
who lacks the will or the opportunity
to make a living by the ordinary in
dustries of socicty-how can y self
governing people claim its public
service with such conditions and linn
itations? The Augcan task would
seem to grow with all increase OF eff
fort to shovel out the Old officars.

In letter of thanks to that "Spar-
tan band" who Lave had the proud
distinction of preventing the election
of Republican Senator in legisla-
turc decidedly Republican, for near
ly Swo months, Mr.. Conkling shows
himself as dramatic as ever. The
letter was addressed to q member of
the Assembly, who was charged to
express Mr.. Conkling's acknowledge
ments to his comrades. s'The heroic
constancy of the Spartan band which
so long has stood for principle and
truth has my deepest gratitude and
admiration. Borne down by forbid
den and abhorrent forces add agen-
cies which never before had sway in
the Republican party, the memory
of their courage and manhood will
long live in highest honor. The
near future will vindicate their wis
dom and crown them with approval.
Please ask them all for me to receive
my most grateful acknowledgment"

Tussle With q Horse Thief.

The arrest of horse thief named
Hank Kecfe and one Hollcnbeck, a
confederate, near Chaska last week,
caused considerable excitement in
that locality. The sheriff of Carver
county pursued them, in company
with two or three other men, and in
attempting to put the irons on keefe
was resisted. The Pioneer Press
says that in the meelee the sheriff
dropped the handouts and Keefc
made a bold dash for liberty, jumped
out of the wagon and made for the
brush, with the sheriff after him.
Hank, finding that he was likely to
be captured. turned at bay, drew his
revolver, and warned the sheriff not
to approach nearer. This however
was not needed, and Hank, hearing
him approach, fired, but the ball did
not strike. The opposing parties
could net see each other, only by the
flashing of their pistols, else there
would havc..been more tragic story.
The sheriff then fired, but apparent
ly without accomplishing more than
to disclose his whereabouts to Hank,
who fired again, the ball just grazing
the ear of the sheriff, who returned
the compliment, the ball this time
taking effect in spot where y very
little pain produces very great de-
gree of disablemcnt, but without
winging his covey. Unfortunately,
the sheriff's revolver contained only
two cartridges, leaving him. disabled
for further acgressivene.s, and he
called upon those in the wagon to
take the .hot gun and disable the
miscrca,t. Gould took the gun, and
waiting until Hank fired, in order to
get mis- exact location, drew the trig.
ger, and filled the abdomen of the
thief with chicken shot. This was
more than Hank wanted, and he
strcck out deeper into the gloom of
the brush in which the encounter
took place, and was lost to his pur.
suers. Only the darkness saved the
sheriff from destruction, for the bull.
lets of Hanks pistol whizzed uncom.
fortably close by his head; and it is
probable that but for the good shoot
ing of Mr.. Gould he would have had
his career brought to a close in the
encounter.
The pursuing party returned to
Shakopec for extra help, which they
obtained and returned to the scene
but Hank had gone, but was soon
traced to Chaska, and found in DR.
Lewis Office, picking the bucksho'
out of his body. The two rascal,
are now in the custody of the sher
of Carver county, and one of them
at least, with his murderous assault,
upon the officer of the law, will mo-
end saving clause to rescue hin
from a long confinement.

1t is too bad that a scandal like the
one reported in the Pioneer Press of
Monday, duplicating the Rev. At
water, a Wisconsin presiding elder,
should be widely published and yet
be, perhaps, untrue after all. Later
correspondence from various sources
lead lis rather to deplore the prom
inence which is given to such nasti-
ness in a paper like the Press, than
to consider the adulterous charge as
crcditable. 1t appears that the
young lady had been member of
Rev. Atwater's family, and the story
of both parties implicated agrees
that the lady had asked for private
counsel from her old friend, and that
they had no thought of criminality.
They were followed by few idle
young men and boys, who made the
damaging charges. Popular judg-
nent ought to be reserved for full
er investigation.
