Harrisburg Patriot, NOV. 10.
Certain Republicans have been retained
IN office by Governor pattison and his
heads of department whose afiiliation with
the bosses has been very offensive to the
Democrats. Their removal has been
anxiously awaited, aud if they had been
retired from office before the cleo
tion il is quite certain that there
would not have been 50 yigor-
Gus an effort on the part Of many
Democrats to stay away from the polls.
1t is, however, never too late TO do what
is right and proper. The result Of the late
election shows that this people do not
appreciate the liberality of the Democratic
administration toward It's political Oppo
nents. Civil service reform as illustrated
in tho retention Of Republican Office
holders by Governor pattison has been
condemned at the ballot box. The verdict
of the people 6 tina: these office holders
must go.
Not single Democrat remains in tae
department of the state government con.
trOled by the Republicans.
Some of the most important places in
the departments OF the state government
controlled by the Democrats are now filled
by Republicans who were formerly afiIiat.
ed with the bosses.
The people have repudiated at the BAL
lot box the generosity which keeps machine
Republicans in offices controlled by the
Democrats.
The popular verdict is that the thievng
Republican coon must get out of the Dem.
ocratic corntield.

| Brother Risk, of the Examiner, took
the wrong pig by the ear when he cred
tied the associate editor of the INTEL
| IGESCER, better known rs Chairman
| Hensel,' with the various offences fuI
which he berated him, Maybe II was
| not very polite to tell Brother Risk that
he underwent a very saul of Tarsus like
conversion from the principles of Jeffer
son and the Democratic faith. of which
they are the corner stone, but still it was
too true and OppOrtuue to be forborne,
when Brother Risk essayed to make
sport of the jefferson club and its costly
carpet and fine adornings and elegant
officers. We approve the jefferson club,
aud 80 too, year or two ago, would
Brother Risk, being then in fUll ylumage
as "A Democrat. lie abar ,uueL US he
says because our young leaders are fools
aud our old ones dotards but ii that was
the cause of his evolution and revelation
we respectfully submit to Brother
Risk, whether he did a very wise thing
in leaving us, When the leaders are all
fools the wise man certainly has an ele
giant chance to assert himself. Now we
will say for Brother Risk that he
is not generally fool. lie is
troubled with an unruly tongue
oftentimes that betrays him into un
wise speech, but on the whole he has
done very well as editor of the EumiRcr,
much better, indeed, than any of his
predecessors, for the simple reason that
he has brains, which no one before him
ever had a; except, of course, the genial
Commodore who directs it, but who
could not Inspire his instrumar'g We
incline to the opinion that the real reason
why Brother Risk joined the Republican
church was because he found that there
was more room there for men of brains
He certainly found one for himself,
and he occupied it with great composure.
He ought to retain that Composure. He
should wear an unTunled spirit even
when wrOngtully accused. If Brother
Risk really departed from the De.
mOcIaCy because of its iniQuites and
embraced RepublCanism because of its
virtues, he did 50 creditable thing that
an approving conscience is all that he
needs to sustain the Calmmess of his
spirit under the accusation that his
political somersault was prompted by
other motives.

hold of the telephone wire, which the
other man was adjusting tp the pole. The
wire dropped from his hands and fell across

was 80 badly stunned that for several
minutes he was unable to rise. Andrew
Speer, who was passing at the time, at
tempted to step over the wire aud struck
1t with his leg. lie was also stunned and
experienced peculiarly unpleasant sensa.
tion through his entire system. A carriage

horse attached was knocked down by the
force of the electric current. Both Dwyer
aud Speer were treated at the City
hospital. Dwyer complained of a burning
sensation extending from his stomach up

of the Pennsylvania House and Senate are
very estimable men, but they ara mighty
expensive, and they make people tired.
Are they going to try to sit forever 1t
looks like it. Perhaps some of them are
afraid to adjourn because they fear they
will never be sent back. Tho Democratic

Luther was the Benaiah of the Reforma-
tion, who wrested from the Romsh church
the weapons by which il held the world
