A COUNTY SEAT WAR.
Records Forcibly Seized by Mob al
Removed.

Records Forcibly Seized by a Mob and
Removed.
CHICAGO, March 13.-A dispatch from
Topeka, Kan, says: at has just been
learned that the Rush county seat W.
broke outagain on Saturday last, and has
assumed a most serious aspect. In defiance
of the positive mandate of the Supreme
Court, the people of Lacrosse have again
taken forcible possession of the county rec
ordS, and removed them from Walnut
City. About O'Clock Saturday afternoon
fifty-five teams and about 200 men, among
th.m being all the county officers, except
the Superintendent of Schools and the Board
of County Commissioners, entered the town
of Walnut City unheralded, and driving up
to the building occupied by the county
officers proceeded to load the records, safes
and all the office fixtures and paraphernalia
into wagons.
VERY BoIsTERoUS.
1.-THE crowd was boisterous and demon
strative. A number of shotguns and a count
less number of revolvers were displayed,
and the mob declared its intention of laying
the town of Walnut City in ashes if any
resistance was offered. The resistance was
offered, however, and after two hours the
records were all loadel into wagons and
carried away. When the mob reached the
city limits on their way back to Lacrosse
with the records they fired a volley and
awakened the people with yells. The
ground on which the removal of the records
is made is an alter alive writ of mandamus
issued by Judge 5. j. Osborne of the Dis
trict Court of Rush county, obtained on the
representation that an election had been
held, the returns of which have not been
canvassed, resulting in the choice of La
| Crosse rs the county seat of Rush county.
The result of the alleged election,
however, is disputed by the Wal
nut City people. Chief Justice Hor-
ton expressly stated in his decision
in the recent case that the county seat
should be located at Walnut City, and there
remain until the county seat fight is def
nitely settled and that any further delays,
subterfuges or interferences, even interven.
tion of courts, would be deemed contempt
and the offenders summarly dealt with.
The representatives of Walnut City are now
| here for the purpose of invoking the aid of
the Governor and Supreme Court"

HALE IN A SORRY PLIGHT
HIS PARTY AFRAID TO FACE A
CIVIL SERVICE INQUIRY.

Mr.. Cockrell Offers an Amendment to
the Original Resolution, Which
Knocks the Republicans Of their
Pins-The Amendment Defeated by a
Strict Party Vote.
WASHINGTON, March BIN the Senate
to-day Mr.. Hale called up the resolution Of
fered by him Dec. u for the appointment
of a special committee to examine infinitely
into the present condition of the civil
service in all branches of the government.
Mr.. Cockrell offered an amendment to
extend the inquiry to instances of the parti-
san activity of Republican officials since the
executive order of President Hayes of June,
1878, particularly in the Presidential cleo
tions of 1880 and 1884
Mr. Hale said that personally he had no
objection to the investigation proposed in
the amendment; but he wished it to be dis
tinct from his own proposition, which was
to make a clear and distinct investigation
Of what was going on to-day. He could
not therefore consent to the amendment.
He was not, however, opposed To the in
We tigation, he desired it, but it should go
on distinctly by itself.
the amendment proposing TO investigate the
past. The practical question was that of
present observance or violation of the law.
Mr.. Hoar asked Mr.. Cocllrell if by his
amendment he wished to plead an ''offset."
NO NEED OF AN OFFSET.
Mr.. Cockrell replied that there was no
need of an Offset But, even if the inSinua-
tions in the origin Il resolution were true,
they had been a thousand fold more than
counter-balanced by the preceding admins
tration.
Mr.. Dawes-Is it justification which
the Senator from Missouri wishes to plead
justification that somebody else was just
as bad as this reform administration
Mr.. Cockrell-We don't want any justif-
cation. The present administration speaks
for itself and can take care of itself before
the people. We simply want the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth and
that is not what is desired upon the oppo-
site side.
Mr.. Dawes-The Senator is resisting Just
exactly that thing. He is not willing to
stard on his merits, but desires TO go after
something else which may better up things
where merits will fail. If the adminiStra-
ton is DESTROYS of standing on its own
merits the best way is to ascertain what its
merits are and not what the merits of some
body else have been.
FEAR OF THE RESULT.
Mr.. Cockrell-It is fear of the result that
excites the opposition. / anticipated as
much. All that we ask is that the country
may see the administrations side by side,
and draw its conclusions from the COMPARE
son.
The amendment was defeated by a
straight party vote of "a yeas to 20 nays
and the original resolution was adopted.
The bill went over without action
