INC Npol,smen I'd Work.


President Harrison has already
put his administration on the defen-
sive. by wholesale partisan removals
of efficient officers. The first act in
the general rush for spoiis was to
revoke the order placing the rail-
way mail service Under the civil
service rules, and throw this depart
ment open to the mercy of the Office
seekers. More removals have been
made in it than IN any other branch
Of the postal Service, and every one
was made for a partisan reason.
Among the fourth-class postmasters
the work of decapitation has pro-
ceedgd as merrily. An examina-
ton of the list of changes for West
Virginia; published in the Register
yesterday morning, viii furnish con-
elusive proof. that it is tho intention
to make a clean sweep at the earliest
possible day. No charges were
brought against these tien. Their
terms had not expired, and yet they
were inc6ntinently discharged from
office, and their positions filed by
men who had nothing to recommend
them but their pafttisanship.
The records of the opening weeks
of CleveIand's administration and
the corresponding weeks of Harri,
sons show that removals have been
made solely for partisan reasons
and on the representation of Con,
gressmen alone. The case of the
Scranton postmaster was one of thi.
kind. 4
1t was the policy of President
Cleveland to allow every official tc
serve out his term of office, unles,
good reasons for his removal. Pres
ident Harrison himself announced
snch a policy, but if he ever serious.
ly intended to follow it, he has beer
driven from it. The public servfcj
is being despoiled for the party
strikers. Public Office for politica
reward: is the motto, and the sooner
the people understand this, tR,
sooner they viii realize the hypocrisy
of the pretenses on which officia
changes are made. Register.

A report comes from Leading
Creek in Barbour county, of a serIz.
Gus riot which occurred at a school
house while singing school was in
session. A party of about a dozen
roughs undertook to break up the
school, but were @crsted in the fight
that ensaed. Ben. HinlSle. one of
the desperadoes. was hit upon the
head with heavy Stool and his
skull WIS fractured. Geo. Cumming
ham, one one, of the leading young men
of the county, was made the special
object of attack, and was cornered:
He drew his knifeand slashed right
and left, seriously wounding several
of his ASSISTANTS, and almost disem-
boweling one of them, Lewis Wool:
who will die. The gang was finally
forced to retire from the Building.
A panic existed auofig the ladies
who were present while the melCo
was going on.

The Private detective system

Shepherdstown Register.
We notice that the press of this
State is waking up to the fact that
the so-caIled detectives in the ka-
nawha neighborhood are more of a
nuisance that a credit to the com
monwealth. 1t is popularly be-
lieved that one of the chief agencies
of this sort doesn't know enough TO
find skunk in store box. But
the fact that they are valueless is
not all. They are seriously detri-
mental to the good name OF the
State and to tho accomplishment OF
justice. Innocent men are bounded
and criminals allowed to escape.
Miraculous stories are told of en-
counters with outlaws, of murders,
and lynchings, and vendettas, and
outrnges of various sorts-all that
the detectives" may reap glory
and profit; A wedding out of these
gentlemen and a curtailment Of
their powers is as necessary as the
apprehension of outlaws.

Three strangers, roughly dressed, /,
entered the store Of James NJ. Bill
myer, at Yanclevesville, Berkeley
county, just as he was closing up.-
They asked for crackers and cheese,
which were furnished. They then
asked to see some boots. AS Bill
myer stopped over the box to pull
ont the goods one man felled him
with sand-bag. Two of them
jumped on him while the other
guarded the door. They took all
the money Billmyor had in his
pockets, about twenty dollars, and
demanded more. He said he had.
none. They then gagged him and.
beat him over the head brutality
endeavoring to extort more money.
They have not been apprehendod,'

Brooklyn Eagles
But the true merit of his Presi-
dency seems to us to consist in the
loftinees of his official ideal and the
firmness with which he adhered to
it. He bfayed everything for the
sake of the standard he had set up.
Friendship. the obligations of graft
tude, the desire to help those who
had helped him, the exigencies of
his party and the prudence that
leaders who expect to win are inn
peratively required to observe were
sacrificed to his fetitch. 1t may
have been fatal statecfah or insane
politics, or a rashness which his
political relations convert into a
crime, but it was after all heroic in
supreme devotion and fidelity to a
pdFp6se. He declared that public
office is a public trust, and history,
in spite of all the contempt which
that declaration has provoked, Will
vindicate his claim, to the honor of
having upheld it. He was as honest
as he was brave and as resolute as
he was ineorruptible, and the public
officer of whom that can be truly
said possesses d mantle which in
dulgent justice will suffer to cover a
multitude of minor sins. There is
this also to be observed of his ad-
ministration, that it is one the vir-
tues of which will stand forth in
sharper outlines as time adjusts the
focus of our vision. There are latent
impressions in it which the rays of
calmer Judgment than we can now
command are certain to develop.
He has builded perhaps better than
he knew, for in the seed of every
noble example there are germs that
come not to maturity with the COM
mon harvest, but slowly quicken and
bud and flower and and shed a fra

sower has passed away.

"They have killed my husband. y
/ know myself that Logan said to
me once, in spirit of, distress that
was pitifpi: dMy life has been in
vain. The work 1 did for my couin-
try counts for nothing. Every time
my name is mentioned 1 hear the
cry of rebel and friend of the South.
They Will never fst 1t die" He
had been talking about Blaine and
his friends. Logan's nephew was
the fret man who asked for an APP
pointment under Harrison, and he
was the first man to be slaughtered.

was that he had been in office &c
long. 1 don'e Isnow of man who

They Are Being Undeceived.
The eyes of American working
men are being opened by bitter ex-
perience, and it will take more than
bold pretense to deceive thcm here
after. A meeting of the textile
workers of Philadelphia was held a
few evenings ago and one of the
speakers used the following signifi-
cant words!
@About the time of a certain
Presidential election you were told
that if certain candidate should
be elected you would be protected
and well paid. BE was elected, and
Immediately thereafter there occur
red cuts in wages to the extent OF
absolute robbery. The protective
tariff is not protection to labor, but
organization is"
There is hardly s. protected in
dustry in the country, in which
there has not been q heavy reduc-
tion in wages since the 9th day oil
last November. The majority OF
the iron mills of Pennsylvania are
shut down because their workmen
would not agree to a decrease; FIVE
IsiSths of the employees in the New
Jersey potteries are out of work for
the same reason; the weavers OF
Massachusetts and Connecticut have
just been beaten in a gigantic strike
to protect their already slender
wsgSg from further decrease. And
yet these men were told by thous-
ands of newspapers, by lying docu-
ments and deiGagogic politicians
that the election of Harrison would
make their labor remunerative and
ensure prosperity.
