SATURDAY, AUG. l, 1885.

FROM THE FIRST DAYS OF the new
Administration it has been conceded
that its record on civil-service reform
must rest, in great measure, upon its
treatment OF the largest class OF Gov
ernment officials unprotected by the
civil.servicc law and rules, viz. the
chiefs OF divisions in the various Depart
ments. This being the principal grade
unprotected by the letter Of the law,
and the grade most directly appealing
to its spirit, 1t was admitted that the
success or failure Of the Administration
in keeping its reform promises must
hinge upon whether the ranks OF the
chiefs OF division were invaded by the
spoismen or carefully guarded and inn
proved in the interest of reform. The
place hunters at once filed claims for
every one OF these positions, and in
tluence was brought to bear for clean
sweep. The Presidents position was
understood to be that the good men
should retain their places and the in
efficient give place to new men, with a
view to rendering the service non-parti.
san, increasing its efficiency, II possible,
and eventually placingit in the classified
and protected service. After the lapse
of nearly five months, it is interesting
to look back upon what has been done
in this respect. The majority OF chiefs
Of division are employed in the Treasury
Department. When Mr.. Manning as
sumcd control of the Department there
were seventy-three of these chiefs, all
appointed under Republican rule, many
promoted from lower grades; many eff
cient and faithful; some selected
on political or personal considerations;
some totally unfit for their places.
After nearly five months of constant
and earnest fighting for these places,
seventeen OF the seventy. three chiefs
have been displaced and the resigna-
tions OF eleven others called for. Six of
those displaced have been restored to
clerkships. The most important va
cancy thus created has been filed by
promotion. Five or six good and faith
full men have given place to less efficient
successors, some poor chiefs have made
room for better men, some changes
have made little difference, some often
sive partisans and men of bad habits
have given place to persons whom the
Secretary believes to be worthier mer
and more reliable officials. This is 8
record, without comment or criticism
which may be accepted as perhaps the
fairest and broadest example of how
the battle has gone thus far between
the administrative reformer and the
place hunter.

RAILROAD MEETING AT ODESSA.

The following letter explains ITSELF
HOLDEN. Mo-, October 8, 1885.
CAPT. A. A. LEsUEUR, Dear Sir:-Our
people had a meeting a few evenings since,
to look after their interests as affected BY the
extension Of the c. B. u O., from Carrollton,
Mo-, to Fl. Scott, Kansas. AS 1t seems very
likely that If the extension should be made,
1t would lie on q route through Lexington,
Odessa and Holden and we would like to
cooperate with your people in any steps
that may be proposed for the advancement
of our interests in this matter. Please
hand this to some member of your committee
with the request that they correspond with
us on this subject. We would be glad to get
any Information your committee may have as
to the views of the railroad authorities
themselves and, if your people desire to take
any action in the matter, what 1t is etc.
Very Respectfully, C. c. TENS.
Member of Committee.
Since the above was received several letters
have been exchanged, with the result Of
fixing Odessa as the place of meeting of the
three committees representing Holden
Odessa and Lexington. The meeting will
take place on next Tuesday, October 20, and
it is hoped that quite a number Of gentlemen
from Lexington will attend, in addition tc
the committee appointed for the purpose BY
the business association.

From the Higginsville Post


The Post Is sorry to record the fact that the
sickness of VIM. II. Carter, of which men,
ton was made In these columns has culminat-
ed IN an attack Of mania, and that the gentle
mans friends and relatives have placed him
in the asylum at Fulton for proper care and
treatment. 1t will be remembered that the
Post gave the particulars Of Mr.. Carter's be-
Ing brought from the Indian Territory early
In September, where he had been in charge
of a stock ranch. While there he had been
stricken down with Inflammation of the brain,
superinduced by hard work, exposure and
loss Of sleep incident to the discharge of his
duties as superintendent of some $5D 900
worth of cattle, whose supervision devolved
upon him solely. He was brought to his res
idence here by some friends who went after
him. and he lay for several weeks under the
disease, until it resulted as above stated.
The causes which led up to the attack have
their origin back Of this, however. Mr. Car
ter has been a representative of Lafayette
county in the state legislature for the past six
years, aud during that time has been one of
the most energetic and hardest working
members of that body. At the session last
winter he was made chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means, the most impor.
tant committee In the house, and q position
involving the most careful, incessant and en-
hausting labor. On his return home at the
end OF the session, he showed signs OF his
severe labor, and told his brother, DR.. R. c.
Carter, that he had not been able to sleep any
during the entire session of the legislature,
norooIu oryorontn~ on4 Ior- I'D LIZ
sleep during the entire twenty -four. OF
course, this state of affairs could not exist
long, and his brother advised him to drop all
his work and rest until he could sleep. This
he did not do, but instead went to the Indian
Territory, assumed charge of the cattle above
mentioned. where, with the additional work
and anxiety, together with continued in
somnia, the deadly disease soon wrought on
the overtaxed brain, and like thousands be-
work and sleeplessness.
Some of our exchanges state that he was
harrassed and worried by the order of the
president removing cattle FROM the Indi-n
Territory. This Is a mistake, as Mr.. Carter's
cattle were not in that portion of the terrific
ry affected by this order. The unfortunate
gentleman's condition excitesthe keenest SYM
patty Of all. and expressions of commisera-
ton and hope for his speedy recovery are
heard on all sides. His bodily health is fairly
good and 1t il thought that he may perhaps
recover inside Of three or four months. This,
Of course Is uncertain, but his treatment at
the asylum will be the best that science, skill
and money can provide, and the rest, care and
nursing he will there receive. will undoubt-
eddy soon restore him to family and friends.

1t is a very elementary proposition
that property covered by mortgage can
not be reached by a judgment subse-
quently obtained. In discussing the
$4,000 water bond we did not overlook
that, but were assured that only five or
six bonds had been disposed of, to sub
contractors, and that before the remain
der should be negotiated the bond
would be made good and sufficient in
itself. The president of the company,
some time ago, advised that course.
to remove all doubts as to intended
good faith, and the young Mr.. Aben-
droth, when he was here. last Wednes-
day, told US that he thought it would
certainly be done.
