HAaRIsoN,s CIVIL seRvcgTRAvgsIY.
Removing the Old Postal Clerks in Blocks
TO Make Room For the Heelers.

PERU, May 23.-[Special. This week the
last OF the nine men who were removed from
the Toledo & ST. Louis railroad postofice fin
ished his run under this administration of
civil service reform. Last Friday nine mail
clerks on the Wabash, between Toledo and st.
Louis, received notices that their services were
no longer required. That was the 18th day of
May. These notices we're dated at Washing
ton April 29, before the civil service rules took
effect, but the official envelope bore no post
mark or date. 1t seems that hundreds of these
letters were sent out blank in packages to the
several division superintendent, who filed in
the names of the clerks to be removed. As
the changes could not be made all at once,
blocks" OF clerks were removed at q time in
order that the service would not be COM
pletely demoralized. To show how much
President Harrison and his administration
have adhered to the civil service law, it is only
necessary to furnish this line example.
The total number of clerks on the line from
Toledo to st. Louis. called the Toledo d st.
Louis X. p. o., and the Toledo i Lafayette X.
L. o.. the former the night line and the latter
the day line is thirty-six OF which. at the close
OF Clevelsnd's administration, nine were re-
publicans and twenty-seven were democrats.
Now, after two months of Harrison's admins
tration, eight democrats alone remain, and
these viii be removed soon the line can
revive from the recent changes and the old and
new men get accustomed TO the work. On the
Pan. Handle division, from Pittsburg to st.
Louis, every democrat has been removed. Also,
on the Big Four, from Chicago TO Cincinnati.
II was thought that the suspension of the
civil service rules was for the purpose
of reinstating old men who had been
removed without sufficient cause, but that this
is not true is proven from the appointment
within the last two weeks of new men and rein
statement OF old men who were removed even
under Arthurs administration for inetficiency.
One man was taken from the insane asylum al
Toledo, o., to fill an efficient democrats place.
This may be reform for the republican party,
but to the people il must appear as a very dull
and transparent travesty

Last fall Hensley Thomas, half-demented

having sold lemonade with a stick in it at
Knightstown without having paid license on
the stick. Thomas pleaded guilty and went to
Jail.
Early this spring Henry Schwinge grocer
doing business in the building adjoining the
federal building, was arrested by revenue
officer, charged with selling liquor without
license. Sehwinge was very indignant at the
arrest, and assaulted the officer with great en-
ergy and much success. knocking out the rep
resentative of Uncle Sam. Four indictments
were found against Schwinge, and he made
practical confession by going TO the revenue
office and paying his back license for three
years, during which time he had done a thriving
business in supplying the family trade on the
aristocratic north-end thoroughfares Then the
indictments for selling liquor without license
were nOllied. But Schwinge was still charged
with assaulting revenue officer. To this he
pleaded guilty, and was assessed $500 the min

her home in Jacksonville July Il, 1888, leay-
ing an estate valued at 100000. and no nearer

found that was made in New Albany,
June Z, 1876. BY this instrument
the property was bequeathed. with
the exception Of $4,000 TO Mrs. Hart and Mrs.

claimed to be heirs entered proceedings to pre-
vent the probating of the will and a suit to

Chicngo's Sensational Divorce Case Ended
The Decree Given the Husband.
CHICAGO, May 22.-The notable divorce case
of Carter VS.. Carter, which has been on trial
for several weeks in the circuit court before
Judge Jameson, was finished this morning at
$3.50 O'Clock, when the jury came in with its
verdict. The suit was brought by Mrs. Leslie
Carter, who charged her husband with unnam-
able ofenses Mr. Carter filed a cross bill
charging his wife with adultery.
The prominence of the parties. the unusual
beauty OF Mrs. Carter and other matters un-
usual in such hearings made it a celebrated
case and the courtroom has been crowded
since the trial began. During its progress the
testimony took the listeners in imagination
over a good part OF Europe; gave them glimpses
of the royal prodigality with which Mrs. Carter
lavished money on personal adornments and
eGuipsges, though her husband was by no
means a rich man; traced the payment to her
of several large checks drawn by a prominent
merchant OF New York; made evident her
friendship for handsome Kyrle Bellew, the
actor; touched upon her relations with her
physician, and in short developed a series Of
sensations 10 satisfy the expectations Of the
most pruriently inclined.
The arguments were completed yesterday
afternoon and the case was given 20 the jury.
At the opening of court this morning it was
announced that an agreement had been
reached. The verdict, when announced was
to the effect that Mrs. Carter was guilty of
adultery, as charged in the cross bill, and that
Mr.. Carter was not guilty of the charges per
ferred against him in his wife's bill. Neither
Mr.. nor Mrs. Carter was present when the YER
dict was announced.

Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co. have sent their
impudent circular oil over the state for the pur-
pose of prejudiciDg the minds of the people
against the new school book law. They make
so many false statements that one can hardly
tell where to make attack. But the sole
purpose of the circular is TO break down the
school book law, which was passed in the in
terest of the people of our state. They claim,
among other things, that their profits are not
half so large as has been represented, If
they have not received large profits why would
they still wish TO furnish textbooks for our
schools, and why propose 20 furnish them at
greatly reduced rates? Ii is costing them no
small sum of money to distribute their circular
broadcast over the state. And why would they
try to bride every trustee, superintendent and
newspaper in the country If they did not real
ize large profits from the books? Does any
body for moment suppose they care for any
but their own interests in this matter, and any
one that will aid them in their effort to break
down the new law is an enemy of the people
and should be branded as such.

WASHINGTON. May 2l.-Among the odd re-
quests contained in the mail of Mr.. Robert p
Porter, the new superintendent of the census
was one to-day that eclipses anything yet re
ceived. II simply asked Mr.. Porter to share
equally the salary Of his office with the writer
who said that the president had evidently in
tended to appoint him TO the place, his name
being the same as that of the new superin-
tsndent. In support of his view of the case
the writer volunteered the information
that he comes from Indiana
that be served in the Sixty-ninth
Indiana regiment and that, therefore, there eau
be no mistake as 10 his being the Robert b
Porter. designated as superintendent of census
by the president tie is willing to waive thu
honor Of the Office, however, if given half it,
smoluments. Supt. Porter replied to his cor
rsspOndentin aserio-comic vein. A weltknOwn
expert, be wrote, had stated that the superim-
tendent would be compelled to do
ten thousand-dolars worth Of work
for 5000 salary. His Indiana namesake
would, therefore, see how great
sacrifice the division Of the salary would be
even with one who bears the same name.

CANNELToN, May 21.-[Speoal. The pro-
longed struggle for the postotice here has
ended, John Zimmerman ex-chairman of the
republican county committee, being the victor
1t was a severe contest, the appl icants being
Mrs. Isabella De La Hunt, former postmistress,
and John Zimmerman. Mrs. De La Hunts the
widow Of the late Capt Thomas ]. De La Hunt,
ex-county auditor and gallant soldier during
the late war and democrat in politics. The
fight was carried 10 the white house, but
through the inconsistency of the president,
Wanamaker, Helman, Posey, etc, came out
victorious. President Harrison made a national
and state issue of her removal under Cleveland
IN 1886, and the following Is clipped from
speech made by Harrison in the L. ;. senate,
March &c, 1886, In which he severely arraigned
Cleveland's administration because of her re-
moval from Office. He said:
IF there was In all this country one person,
who by reason of her SEX who by reason of her
widowhood, who by reason of the sacrifice she
made in giving the arm on which she leaned TO
her country's service: was entitled to be kept
in Office; was entitled TO have her reputation
guarded jealousy and by all men who repre-
sented the government, II was Mrs. Isabella
De La Hunt"
And yet when personal appeal was made to
President Harrison directly, reminding him of
her dire need of the Office, and the position he
took in her behalf in the L. :. senate and the
reference made to cher case" in the many
speeches throughout Indiana, during the state
campaign of 1856, and she furthermore pre-
sented petition more numerously signed than
that of any other applicant and representing
an overwhelming majority of the patrons of
the Office here, but, notwithstanding all these
facts, her appointment was refused. This case
most clearly demonstrates TO the mind of any
fair man, irrespective of political affiliations.
that Harrison is either an insineere man, or
that the party "boodlers. ofice-suckers, ward
thugs and bruisers" have tull and complete
control of the present administration and its
patronage.

BOUNCED WITHOUT CAUSE.
PECULIAR CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
pfous John wanamaker Dismisses a Post
ONCE Employe and ex-Union Soldier
Simply Because He Did Not Vote
the Republican Ticket.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-[Special. Last
Saturday was field day for civil service reform
IN the postofice department. Seven men were
dismissed, the most notable case being that of
John A. Brown.
John A. Brown was a Union soldier. a men,
Der of the Fifth Maryland infantry; is MEM
Der of the G. A. r, and also of the U. V. C.
He was Waterman in the postofice depart
nent until Saturday, May is, when he was sum-
nlarily dismissed. along with six Others three
besides himself having worn the army blue.
John has only one arm. He lost the other
in front of Petersburg. June so 1864. He was
. prisoner of war four months. II may be as
well to add that he had four brothers in the
Union army. He was a faithful watchman
careful, attentive, courteous, and gentleman
He could well perform the duties of watch
man, but the loss of his left arm leaves him IN
fitted for manual labor. No one ever thought
of disturbing John. Such a quiet man, and hay
ing such q record. II, however, he could
sbor, his age-ffty-seven years-precludes
hard work. But he needed the wages he re-
ceived, nos only to support himself, but TO
support his aged mother, now eighty-six years
old.
The present administration, governed as it is
by piety, made a sorry exhibition of itself by
dismissing John \. Brown, on short notice and
without leave Of absence. Pious John Wanna
maker did the deed on Saturday; then hurried
off 10 Philadelphia and attended Sunday-schOOl
the following day. He doubtless prayed over
Johns case before he went. Maybe had a
pTayer-meeting over il at the white house. At
ell events John A. Brown is no longer an
officer of the postofice department lie now
has his pension to support himself and his aged
mother.
When John A. Brown was a Union soldier
and suffering imprisonment. piOus John Wana-
maker was pious John Wanamaker in Phila-
delphia. On the S0th day of June. 1864, when
John A. Brown left his left arm on the battle
field in front OF Petersburg, pious John Wana-
maker selling cheap clothing and laying
the foundation of that colossal fortune, which
enabled him to buy cabinet office later on,
and turn such men as Brown who helped to
preserve the government out of small place
where he was earning bis bread.
Great is the piety OF John Wanamaker, and
great is civil service reform a. practiced by the
present administration.
1t may be asked why John A. Brown was de-
capitated? Answer: He did not vote with
the party that believed in high taxation.
