There are any quantity Of laws against

1t is more fzed to day than ever. An

On officer to decline challenge is to

s And the Austrian duel Is not so harm
less thing as it is in Prussia The
wespon used is mot the rapier, and the
body is not padded and protected as in
Germany. Actual cavalry ssbers are
the weapons, the men stand without pro-
tsc,ion, and the fight is in dead earnest.
Carved faces, amputated arms, and clo-
ven skulls result, and death is not at all
uncommon. They 6ght, as in Prussia
on the 6msiest pretexts. Should al

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 24.-J udge Le-
roy D Thoman, of Youngstown, o., was
in Indianapolis to-day, en- route to Lo-
gansport to spend Sunday with hi. FAM
ilv, who reside there. In the course Of
an interview with News reporter,
Judge Thoman said:
am surprised to learn of the senti.
ment among Indiana Democrats against
the bill. l Ia,tribute this sentiment, how
ever, to what take to be fact that
they are not familiar with its provisions
II the bill has one feature TO commend
it, it is its consonance with Democratic
principles, reiterated in many Of the
party platforms The Jefiersonian idea
OF qualifications for Office is strictly fol-
lowed Lam sure that if every Demo-
crat in Indiana would read the bill, not
one per cent. OF chem would be found
opposed to it, for it opens tie offices to
all young man who can prove themselves
st for positions, and does not shut the
doors upon them, as some strangely sap
pose. The newspapers, in regard to the
matter of competitive examination, have
been given altogether the wrong cue
The form Of the examination is left 10
the discretion OF the commissioners
Applicants will hot be required to ans
wer the curious questions which are
floating about in the papers. The bill
SAYS: s'Such examinations shall be prac-
,ical in their character, and, so far as
may be, shall relate to those matters
which will fairly test the relative capac-
ity and fitness of the persons examined
to discharge the duties OF tie servic'
into which they seek to be appointed" J"
Now, under that provision, II an app'i-
cant wants position in the patent of
fce, he will be examined, 1 take it, di-
rectly with refere oe to his qualifications
therefor, and thus with reference IT, OH
er departments of the civil service An
other thing, the Democrats Of Indiana
complained after the campaign Of 1886
that they had lost the State owing to the
expenditure Of money by Republicans
who had obtained it by assessing th'
department clerks, Under the Pendle.
ton bill it will be wholly impossible to
derive campaign funds in this wav. For
this reason, l should think Indians
Democrats ough. 10 favor the bill
suppose the recent expressions Of hos
tility to the measure were due to the fac
of the Democratic victories las. fall an
the assured feeling Of another triumph
in 1884, and also the fear that the part'
would be deprived OF some OF the office
in the event OF national party triumph
two years hence Bat 1t shonld be borne
in mind, first, that party successes are
not assumed, and, second. that the Dem
ocratic party, from Jefferson's time, ha;
been urging reform of the civii SER
vice. Yes, sir, the bill is thoroughly
democratic, and it will not tend to create
an aristocracy Of Office seekers.
