Doubtless the Democrats of the Legislature
that lately made kndling wood of the Civil
Services Reform plank of their last State Con-
ventIon by deliberately killing the leading
Civil Service Reform bills Of the sesaion, have
manufactured some excuse, plausible in the eye
of ,be marines. for their f-stutifyng conduct.

veal their real mctives. like rs not they would
unbosom themselves to this effect: Why did

a more or less cunning dodge
The men that shaped the course OF the Syra-

bills would be forced on the attention Of the

cunning than his great prototype, Mr. I1iden'

Mccall, IT., to be State Superintendent of In
surance will be highly satisfactory to all men
who want to see politics kept out of the insur-
ance business MI. Mccall was an excellent
Deputy Superintendent, and his experience and
knowledge are guarantees that the Department
will DO we'll managed. The Democratic polti-
clans who thought the nomination should be

| though so !ittle real work was accomplish
ed as to leave the final day Of aGiourmcn
rs problematical as ever, The house, 1
will be remembered, passed resolution
week ago to adjourn on the 18Th Of June
Senator Duncan tired to call It up IN the
senate on Thursday. He said it WAS ridc
u!ous tor the senate, which had been ad-
journing from day to day because it had
nothing to do, to refuse TO adjourn on the
18th when the house said it would be
ready by that date But the senate seemed
to think the house wss only tooling and
Mr.. Duncan's motion was voted down, "a
TO 20.
The only spain the senate over the nigh
license bill occurred on Wednesday. Sen,
ator Duncan moved TO strike our the $50

motion was voted down Il to p. He then
moved to add wine TO beer in the $50 IL

down and 1t went to third reading, rs

Aside from the appropriation bills, upon
which the house is mainly engaged, doz-

GOT HIS DESERTS

Our readers doubtless remember the case
OF Dukes, at Uniontown, Pa, who last fall
shot Capt Mutt, a very prominent citizen
Of the same town, and at the time treasurer
of the state of Pennsylvania. Dukes was a
lawyer of some note, and had been elected
a member of the Legislature. He had been
intimate for several years with the daugh-
ter of Capt. Mutt, and engaged to be mar,
ried to her; but suddenly he ceased to visit
her, and when asked for an explanation
wrote dastardly letter to her father, asser'
ting that the young lady was a wanton to
his own personal knowledge. The whole
community resented 1t as a base SANDER,
while they knew Dukes to be rake and q
scoundrel. Capt. Mutt replied with man.

pointment to visit Dukes at his hotel.
The two metIn Dukes room, there were
probably some high words, but in less than
five minutes Dukes shot Mutt, killing him
instantly. In March, Dukes was tried for
the murder, AMI though his plea was sell
defence, the evidence showed that there had
been no scuilc, no encounter, and that at
no time could he have been IN personal
danger. Yet corrupt jury acquitted HIM
to tie disappointment and indignation OF
the entire community. He was expelled
from the legislature, and public meetings
of the people warned him to leave Union.

and opened upon him with his revolver, fir
