Civil Service Violations.

The rights of the displaced office
holders, in violation of civil service
rules, will perhaps have a hearing when
the new administration comes into pow
err The civil service was instituted to
prevent abuses of political power, but
has been made the instrument Of gross
injustice under the present administra-
ton. 1t was intended to protect those
holding Office uuder government ap.
pointment from removal from office, un-
less for justifable cause. Freedom of
opinion was allowed under the rules,
and no one to be dismissed from service
for mere party difference. Such civil
service, President Cleveland pledged
himself to respect when he entered on
the duties Of his Office, but how utterly
he has disregarded his pledges need not
be told again. This charge is referred
to here only to consider what is the
status of those now holding appoint.
| ments, made in violation of the rules of
civil service? No one questions the
right of the President to remove from
Office for cause, but it is proper to in
quire into removals made without good
cause. Such appointments, although in
contravention Of the rules, would doubt
less be held valid by the legal authori.
ties, but are violations of official obliga-
ton. What will be the duty of the
government to those who have been dis
placed from Office for no fault and for
no assignable reason, except differ
ence Of opinion with the administration
on questions OF national policy? Many
instances can be given where Union
soldiers, some of whom lost an arm or
leg in the war, were given appoint
ments, which they filed with entire sat
isfaction, but were removed under the
present administration, alone for politi-
cal consideration. The chief wrong in
the removal Of men of this class from
Office, to make room for Democrats,

A Kenosha Inventor.

All readers are aware that type writ
ing machines are now used in towns and
cities in all parts Of the country; they
have been adopted in Government off,
ces for correspondence and copying. 1t
may be a matter cf interest to mention
that the first type writing machine
brought 70 perfection sufficiently to rem
der it for general use, was the work Of
Hon G. L. Sholes, one of the founders
and for many years one Of the proprie-
tors of the Kenosha Telegraph. Mr.
Sholes ives well known citizen in this
county for many years, and has for a
twenty or more years PAST resided In
Milwaukee where i'll health has confined
him to his house for a long period.
During most Of the last dozen years he
has been at work adding or attempting
to add improvements t. his type writer,
and has done much tie bring it to its
present state of perfection, which is al
most marvellous for expeditions work.
Mr.. Sholes, as all who knew him here
are aware, is a modest, retiring man.
He coald have secured national repu-
tation as the principal inventor and the
perfecter of the fameas type writer, but
has allowed others to bear off honors
that justly belonged to him.

Sunday and the Newspaper.

A general meeting Of the Sunda
Association was held in Chicago las
week, continuing in session two days
It is an undenominational body; its OBJ
iect being t. secure better observance
of the Sabbath. or in other words, tC
rescue it from increasing dissertation
The meeting attracted much attention
on account of the number of distn.
guished clergymen and prominent pub
lie men who were in attendance. Meas.
ures were taken to awaken the friends
of the Sabbath to the unfavorable infu-
ence of Sunday newspapers in impairing
the proper observance OF the Sabbath.
Many of the old established and widely
circulated city papers have added Sun
day editions to their daily issues. The
Sunday editions, at least some of them,
it is alleged, are less discreet than for
merly In the character of the matter
and now abound in objec-
tlonable sporting news and sensational
stories. The Association to counterfeit
this growing tendency of the Sunday
press, has resolved on general move
ment in petitioning Congress for more
specific laws to prevent the growing
Sabbath dissertation. It is declared
that Sunday disregard in the United
States is fast approximating to the con-
dition of Spain and Mexico. The news
paper press has taken up the discussion,
and those that print Sunday editions,
deny the allegation of immortality and
declare that the Sunday newspaper has
come to stay. The religious press, ad-
hitting the Sunday paper is here, gen
orally insist it's Sunday influence IS de-
moralizing and its presence not neces-
sity: there the matter stands.

Thanksgiving.

The annual thanksgiving will be OBJ
served to-day by the churches through
out the United States, not only by Pro.

dinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, has ad
dressed circular to the Catholic clergy
calling attention 10 the Proclamation Of
the President; other church dignitaries
have done the same. And here it is in
place to mention that there are many
religious, moral and reformatory observ-
ances, in which Protestants and Catho

ing one common aim in view. 1t is
much better to encourage friendly rela
than to foster spirit of antagonism

Prison Reform.

While prison reforms are being dis
cussed in some quarters, with the view
of improving the penal code, we notice
suggestion in the N. Y. Forum,
which strikes us with decided favor. IF
reforms are needed, Wisconsin might as
well set the example as wait for other
States to move The following radical
change is submitted to intelligent
readers:
"a convict should be sent to prison
and hard labor not for definite arbi-
trary term, but until he is so changed
in his habits that he IS fit to take his
place in the world again. If that were
done, and society understood it, re-
lea ,ed man would not find the doors of
employment and sympathy shut against
him, as he does now, for be would come
out with a certificate of integrity, in
dustry and intelligence. IF he is so de-
based as not to be able to be changed in
his habits and practices by any disci-
pine, however long continued, then the
prison is the place for him for life. We
shall do little to reduce the number of
the criminal class till we come to this
conclusion"

Banner Republican State.

The official vote in Kansas shows that
to be the banner Republican State in
the Union. The majority for Harrison
is 8O,l76. Kansas is decidedly pro-
hibitory State. 1t has excluded intoxi-
eating liquors from the State by laws
which the highest judicial authority,
the Supreme Court, has pronounced
constitutional. The oft repeated asser.
tion that it is impossible to excnds in
toxicating liquors from a State by legal
enactments is no longer worthy of be-
lief. We have the highest authority in
Kansas that the laws do prohibit, as
we'll as most laws for restraining crime.

traveller passing through the State, is

Mr.. L. d. Coz, OF Whitewater, is
suggested for the Office of Chief Clerk of
the Assembly. Mr. Coe has held the
position of Clerk, and has had the bene-
fit of experience. The dispatch of bus

II hits, - runs, put outs, 10 assists, and
2 errors. In these l2 games he struck out
