Butler warmly recommended Representa-

candidate from the Sixth Congressional
District, and urged his election, whether
he be for Blaine, Butler or Cleveland. If
YOU iud a man, he said, who works against
you, vote against him; if you find one
that works for you elect him. The Gen

lowly at Wendell Phillips funeral, he had
said: What greater reward on earth can

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-Prof. Gregory
of the Civil Service Commission has writ
ten a long letter upon the subject of polit-
ical assessments, the chief points of which
are contained in the following extracts;
The grand intent of those sections of the
Civil Service Act which relate to contribu-
ions for political purposes, was twofold-to
prevent the use of Government places n
Government funds as forces to control
elections, and to protect Government en-
ployes from compulsory contribution to
political funds. The clerk is employed to
work for the people and not for a party,
and his pay comes from the people and
not from his party. What he earns is
therefore his own, and it is gross tyranny
to extort from him any part OF his earn
ings by threat of removal or by promise
of promotion. The clerk, outside of his
clerkship, is still a citizen, and a citizen
has a common interest with all good cltl-
zens in the progress and welfare OF his
country; the common right to vote
and express opinion, to form
associations with those OF like
opinion, and to use his money in all lawful
ways to propagate his opinions. AS an
officer or emyloye of the government, he
is strictly under the authority OF Congress
in all his official work and relation, and
he must not violate any of your prohibit
tions in the Civil Service Act, but away,
outside of his official life and relations,
beyond the realm of his duties to the gov
ernment, and beyond his connection with
government people and places, he becomes
a simple citizen and has all the duties,
interests and rights of bis fellow citizens
not in public employ. The Interpretation
of the Civil Service Law is easy, and the
path of duty required by it is plain to all
who honestly regard it in its two grand
aims for the absolute defense Of the ballot
box from all corrupt or corrupting official
influences, and for the protection Of gov
eminent officials from political assess
ments. In these two great public de-
mands the law must and will be fully and
fairly enforced.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 23.-A soft glove con-
test took place last night at Union Base
ball Park, between John King of Pittsburg
and Patsy Cardiff of Peoria. Four rounds,
Marquis of Queensbury rules, for gate
money. The men entered the ring about
10 o'clock, and after four settos by the
local boxers, they Immediately went to
work. The first round was about even,
and nothing notable occurred till the
second round, when Cardiff forced the
fighting and knocked King down. A heavy
exchange ON the face and body was then
made, and the round ended in Cardiff's
favor. In the third round, Cardiff again
forced the nghtlng, and hlng Went down
under a heavy blow under the left arm.
More heavy exchanges decided it in favor
of Cardiff. In the fourth round, King
showed great weakness, and Cardiff went
to his corner and called him out. King
responded, but acted mainly on the de-
f~ensive. Cardiff again forced the fighting,
and showered heavy and rapid blows On
his opponent. At this point, and about
half a minute before time was called, Tom
Kelly, Kings hacker, entered the ring and
separated the men, and ordered Cardiff to
his corner. The police then interfered,
and the referee decided the fight in favor
of Cardiff, when the crowd dis persed.
