AN OPEN DOOR.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Post,
suggests that if the Ciyil-Service Commits
sion decides the appointment of Mr.. Fow-
Ter as q third-class clerk in the Pension
Division of the Third Auditors Office to
lie a legal one, without civl-service ex-
animation, then "a door will be opened
wide for filing the offices with as many
Democrats MS any official could desire"
Mr. Fowler, it will be remembered, was
dropped from his position as chief of the
Pension Division and then assigned TO a
clerkship What then is to hinder u
repetition of the same process in other
eases, unless the Ciyil-Scrvice Commits
sioners interpose a requirement that such
Ie-appointments must stand examination
and be certified to like clerks originally APP
pointed,
BY keeping up the appointment of new
chiefs of division and then reducing them
TO clerkships the entire clerical force
could of course, be reconstructed sooner
or later, Just a. though there had been no
such thing as Civil-Service reform, and
yet without any violation of the law
But is ii reasonable to suppose that even
If this door were opened the present Ad-
ninistration would Walk in ana help IT.
self in the manner indicated? We are sur
prised that the Washington organ of the
Administration should hint at even the
possibility of such an utterly impudent
and disrcputable raid upon the minor
offices.
The facts in the Fowler ease are simply
these. The work of Mr.. Fowler's division
.vos ip nrrpors rs thp nonsion accom- nts nj
ways have been and probably will for
some time continue to be. The Third
Auditor reported against chiefs whose
work was in arrears and dismissals were
determined upon. Before the dismissals
took place ii was found that injustice was
being done Mr. Fowler and it was decided
to retain him in n subordinate capacity
His reduction to a third-class clerkshiE
was then announced, and there were nt
,inors left very wide open after all

rHE GREAT IRoN srKiKE.

The result of the present strike among
the iron workers cannot be predicted with
any dctinifencss. The cause of the strike
in general terms is an average reduction
of about twenty per cent. in wages and an
Enwilingress on the part of the workncn

Ia be question of relative en-
,inrance with The advantages on the
side Of the manufacturers, because in the

TO meet at Omaha and take up their west

TO be one of the pleasantest junketing ex-

scenery of the Yellowstone. They will, OF

We are not advised as to whether tn,

THE Ciyil-Servico Commissioners take
the ground and have submitted their argu-
ment TO the President to that effect, that
the Civil-Service law recognizes chiefs of
division only as fourth-class clerks and
that they come within the examination
rules. If this Interpretation be true, it
creates a distinction with an immensely
wide difference. The Attomcy-Gcneral
Will probably be callcdupon for an opin-
ion in the matter.

The brother-in-law of Senator Cockrell
Of Missouri, who was recently appointed
consulgeneral to Mexico against the ex-
pressed wishes of the Senator has arrived
in Washington. He is n young man not
over twenty-five years and is familiarly
known as "1lph" Ewing. He resides at
Jefferson City, the State capital, and be-
longs to an illustrious family, being a rel
ative of the Ewings and Shermans of
Ohio. His appointment was made at th"
request Of Colonel GriT, Prather of u
Democratic National Committee, who WI
under political obligations to him, though
'name and kim no doubt had its infiu-
cnce.
Mrs. Senator Cockrell, who by the way
is n remarkable lady in many respects, and
who, like Mrs. General Logan, is well
versed in politics, is greatly pleased at her
brothers success. Mr.. Ewing for day
or so past has been familiarzing himself
with state matters, and after qualifying
will leave for his post of duty.

A Relic Recovered.

PIrTsBURe, Oct. 5.-The corner
stone of the old House of Refuge
at Woods Run disappeared when
the building were torn down to
make room for. the Riverside Peni.
tentiary. Last evening it was un-
expectedly discovered in a mortar
covered, mud bespattered block Of
sandstone out of which a mason
was trying to chisel piece of curb.
ing. The first blow of the mallet
disclosed carefully sealed opening
out OF which tumbled fiat tin box
about twice the size of an oyster
can. The box was found to contain
plea for reform school in Wes-
tern Pennsylvania plans and speci-
fications for the Reform School
building by J. w. Kerr; a report OF
the institution for 1852; copies OF
the Commercial Journal" Pitts
burg Dispatch" and Pittsburg
Gazette" for 1853 and three-cent,
five-cent and ten-cent silver pieces.
The collections of coins was much
more meagre than that usually
found in corner stones, but as Dep
uty Warden McClain, of the Peni-
tentiary, remarked, the House Of
Refuge people were mighty hard up
in those days. On one of the pam
phlets in a note in ink stating that
the corner stone in the House Of
Refuge was laid April 13, 1853.

Fighting with Clasped Hands.

ST. LoUIs,Sept. 29.-In the village
Of Cottonwood Point, tn this state,
on Friday night, two drunken
strangers got into dispute ard then
had a rough and tumble fight over
the weight of a bale of cotton, but
they were separated by bystanders.
Shortly after, however, the men re-
rewed their fight and mutually
agreed, in order that neither should
have an advantage over the other,
that they should clasp their left
hands together and fight only with
their right hands.
Thus arranged, each man, with a
revolver in his right hand, began the
dloOdy work. Seven shots were ex-
changed. and one of the men fell
dead with four bullets in his head
and breast, while the other sank to
the ground bleeding and dying from
two or three desperate wounds.

THE Philadelphia Times says:
"The Democratic organs of this State
are only hurting themselves and
their candidate for State Treasurer
by unfairly stating Colonel Quay's
military record. 1t is true that the
Republican candidate resigned pre-
cisely six days before the battle of
Fredericksburg, on account of con-
tinued i'll health, but it is also true
that several days later, when he
learned that a battle was probable,
he returned TO the camp and insist.
ed on going to battle with his regi-
ment. Whatever Colonel Quay has
been or done since the war there is
no question as to his personal
bravery ia the field, aud attempts to
misrepresent it can only react on
those who make them"
The above is true, and the battle
referred to is that of Fredericksburg,
and after it Col. quay was specially
complimented in general orders for
his bravery.

BRUSSELS, Oct. 3.-Dispatches re-
ceived from the Congo give further
details of discoveries by Lieutenant
Wisemann. He found the banks Of
Kasai River down to its junction
with the Congo more thickly popu-
lated than any other portion of AT.
rica. For twenty-eight hours he had
to negotiate between crowds of fero.
cious cannibles belonging to the
Bakoutous tribe. Men and women
gathered in thousands on the rivel
bank, shouting, yelling and gestic.
ulating furiously. The women were
more ferocious than the men. Final
ly the Bakoutous attacked the ex-
pedition in fleets of canoes. the wo.
men beating their breasts and
throwing spears. Lieutenant Wise
mann and his men repulsed them
after a hard fought battle, which
lasted four hours. They killed hun
dreds of men and women. The en-
tire region traversed was found to
be very rich in ivory and rubber
forests. The Kasai is noble river,
being in some places five miles wide.
1t flows into the Congo nearly 40C
miles below the point indicated on
the maps.
