These Young men will have the public

Ing out a policy, but tdese men who are
appointed heads of departments should
be business men, for a great deal
more depends upon this quality than
outsiders think. The difference between
a good and poor administration does
not depend mainly on the men who do
the work, but largely is controlled by
men who direct the work. l have come
to the conclusion that the best method
of selecting the men for lower grades
is by examinations which shall be open
to all American citizens. The charges
of the slow changes in the government
service are not we'll sustained. Changes
are more numerous than most OF the
people suppose. The employees in the
classified service of the pOstoffice de-
partment undergo complete change in
five years, which fact is largely due to
the small compensation paid to these
people. Of the 5000 employees of the
classified service in Washington there
is an annual change of about 500. In
regard to the criticisms which are heard
of questions asked by the commission,
| wish to state that for the past six
years have read the newspapers to
find out what sort Of questions the peo-
pie objected to, and there has never
been single instance that has fallen
under my observation where the cues

the. commission. They were always
straw men, put up to be knocked

HULSBoRO, n. D., Aug. IA mass
meeting of the citizens of 1illsboro and
vicinity was held last night to ascertain
if ANYTHING could be done to change the
vote of the constitutional convention at
Bismarck on the article permanently
locating public institutions. Citizens
turned out en- masSe, indignant speech
es were made, and a committee ap-
pointed to draw up protest, which will
be signed by every voter here, and sent
to the convention. A private cOmmunl-
cat Jon from Bismarck was read, stating
that it was a Doodle job, and highly
commencing the delegates who voted
against the article. The following res
OlutionS were passed:
Whereas, The constitutional convention
now in session at Bismarck has arrogated 10
itself q right which is out OF the line OF lCS
authority by the adoption of an article pro
yiding for the permanent location OF pubic
institutions. which 1t purposes TO submit as Il
part of the constitution, thus ignoring lne
right of the people to declare ior themselves
by their votes the wishes of the majority on
subjects pertaining to their welfare which is
the fundamental principle on which our gov
eminent stands, thus compelling them, as
there is no other alternative, 10 e!ther EOte W

Resolved, By the citizens Of Hillsboro in
mass meeting assembled, that we most en-
phatically protest against such PROVISIONS IN

it as an usurpation of the rights of the peo-

questions legitimately belonging to the legls-

submitted separately. in order that the people
may voice their wishes without involving the
constitution proper. Further, be it

STRAW MEN SET UP
By the Newspapers to Be Knocked
Down.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-Civil Service
Commissioner Lyman spoke last night
to members of the Six O'Clock club
about civil service reform. There were
quite number of prominent people,
invited guests and members present,
among them Mr.. Lyman, Gen. Muzzey
and Commissioner of Pensions Tanner.
Mr.. Lyman admitted that the civil Serv-
ice has many faults; threw out sugges-
lions for improvement, and ridiculed
the idea of bureaucracy as the out
come of civil service reform. He said:
when you are going to improve
thing you must find its characteristics
and necessities. / presume the discus
sion of the civil service with which we
are engaged relates to the administra-
tive functions of the government, and
not to its legislative and judicial side.
We are to improve the service in the
great custom houses and places
where the revenues are collected
and in the handling of the mail.
The way to improve this service is to
improve the people who administer it.
Up to tho present time the people of
the country have been fortunate to
very great degree in having in the pub
lie service men of character, honesty
and ability. L believe that is true in
spite of, and not because of, the method
by which they have been selected, and
true because it is fact which l think
everybody will concede, that the great
mass of people in this country are
worthy to hold Office, and it's only now
and then that man gets into office who
is disgrace to it. But to get in the
service better people some method must
be adopted. We must consider the diff
fculties in the way of a change of
methods. They cannot be changed In
day by an order; it must be a process
of evolution, and that is not accom-
plished in moment. / believe we are
now in the midst of an evolution, and
this change must come through the
people who constitute the service.
There are two ways to improve the
service, and both depend upon the
people who are employed to do the
public work. One is to get in at the
bottom men of better education, broader
views and a more thorough purpose to
do the public work honestly and as
life business. They should not be APP
pointed because they belong to a
CLIQUE OR FAMILY,
but because they are American citizens
and are ready to seek career in the
public service. do not think there is
the slightest danger of bureaucracy or
an officeholding aristOcracy. When
that is talked about the dignity and in
telligence of the American people is dis
credited. 1t is nonsense. The people

Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, OAK, Aug. IL. - The
Grand Forks Herald's charge that Pres
Ident Fancher refused to read the pro-
test from that town to the convention
IS absolutely untrue. He gave the tele-
gram to Clerk Hamilton, and directed
him to read it. Hamilton says he was
on his feet three times, and was about
to read the telegram when he was cut
off by motions and other business. The
convention was in hurry to get through
Thursday night, and easily enough the
protest was skipped; but it was not the
fault of the president or chief clerk.
The Plaindealer, of Grand Forks, also
says that other kilograms OF c0ngratu-
lation were received and read, but not
the protesting message. That is UNI
true. There were no kilograms read
that night. A telegram from
the governor of Idaho was on the clerks
table, and should have been read, but
the convention gave no opportunity.
Grand Forks men admit there would
have been no kick if the capital had
been located at Grand Forks. James
town people frankly say il they can't
get it they prefer to give tito Bismarck.
If Grand Forks is opposed to the consti-
tuition, it is assumed that the Repub-
lican delegation to Fargo will not press
their candidate before the convention.
They can't be against the constitution
and at the same time for the state ticket
Repor is from Valley City, Fargo, May
vile, Pembina, Wahpeton, Devils

localities, and that the public building
proposition is sure of big vote from

ST. JOSEPH, Aug. 1.-THE southeast
corner of the st. Joseph inf1eld was
blown away by gust of wind early in
to-day's game, and before it was set up
st. Paul had tailed five times. Then
the outfeld came in and batted the
game up to a tie, but the pace was too
fast, and in the tenth inning, after
Halves had been declared safe at first
en- the ever-present questionable de-
cision, and sent to second by Murphy's
facrifce, Reilly, who did all the batting
Tor st. Paul, lifted the ball over the
left field fence and brought IN the only
earned runs made by the visitors.
Devlin pitched splendid game, and
would have won easily had he been
given any support. Meekin pitched like
a house on fire, and was backed
up splendidly, Reilly making the
only costly error, an overthrow of first,
on which Shellhasse made the circuit in
the second. Carroll's right field work,
Reilly's terrific batting, and the battery
work of both teams gave the large
crowd present taste of base ball they
will not soon forget. Curtis single and
steal, and Kreig's single gave st.
Joseph her first run. Reilly's over
throw of first yielded number two.
ShellhasSe's base on balls, Devlin's sac
rifice, McGarr's base on balls, Curtis
double and Kreig's sacrifice gave the
home team enough to tie the score.
Ardner's error and Reilly's double sent
Murphy across the plate in the first,
MilIer's base on balls, muffed third
strike and Reilly's single scored the
short stop in the third. Ardner's error
of Miller's easy grounder, Cartright's
error of the same thing from Halves,
Reilly's single and Werrick's hit gave
the visitors three in the fifth, and the
game was won in the tenth by Reilly's
home RIM.

THE GEORGIA DUEL.
Graphic Description of the Events
Preceding 1t.

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. ia special to
the Constitution from the Williamson
Calhoun dueling field says: On the
Field, Aug. 1O.-Daylight has gone and
darkness is here. The train comes to a
halt so near the state line some parties
think that they are in Georgia. Capt.
jackson and Mr.. King have left the car.
The train is standing upon deep field
with a high cut in front OF it;
in fact, the cow-catcher is actually
in the cut. Dense, heavy timbers are
on all sides. Trees, big and little, old
and young, are to be seen only. A thick,
heavy cloud hangs over everything, but
morning is rapidly drawing near and
the full moon shows occasionally. There
is deep feeling of awe over all, pos
sibly except two gentlemen, who are so
soon to attempt each others life. On
the outside Capt. Jackson and Mr.. King
are wandering through the woods
searching for spot. AS they move
along arm in arm they talk
familiarly and pleasantly. A
place is found and Capt. Jackson
takes the choice of positions. Mr.. King
takes the choice of weapons. The prin-
cipals leave the coaches with DIR. Cooper,
DIR. Beatty and few spectators. Capt.
Jackson places Mr.. Calhoun with his
back almost squarely against the heav-
lily clOuded moon; then the distance is
stepped off. Mr.. Williamson takes his
position. DR.. Cooper drops on his
knees and opens his surgical case,
knives, ETC., while bandageS are laid
out upon the ground. DR.. Beatty, near
Mr.. Williamson, does the same. Then
Mr.. King produces a pair OF pis-
tolls and the crowd gathers around,
except Messrs. Calhoun and William
son, who stand with right side to right
side just where they were placed:
''Gentlemen," said Dr.. Cooper, must
this be?' Neither gentlemen author
lied to speak answered, and DIR. Cooper,
realizing that he had done all he could
to prevent the fight, walks to his case
of instruments. Then Capt. Seay
comes forward and asks to adjust it,
and is so persistent that he has to be
carried away almost bodily. Capt.
Jackson is unacquainted with the
gun. 1t is a double-acting Smith &
WesSon, 42-caliber, hammerless and with
safety attachment. The captain soon
learns the weapon and hands it so Mr..
Calhoun, at the same time explaining
it. Mr.. King does the same for Mr..
Williamson. Nothing more remained
to be done. Capt. Jackson took a posi-
ton. The word was given. In rapid
succession six shots rang out. One
came from Mr.. CaIhoun's pistol and
five from Mr.. Williamson's. Then the
colloquy occurred which ended in the
adjustment of the difficulty on terms
honorable to each.

A Bad Outlook at the Hecla Coke
Works.

GREENsBURG, Pa, Aug. 11.-Another
outbreak is expected to occur at the
Hecla coke works IN the morning. The
Huns at Mammoth held secret meet
ing last night ane decided to renew the
fight Monday and prevent the men at
Hecla United and the other works In
that locality from going to work. Mes
sengers were sent here this evening to
notify the sheriff Of the intention, and
posse was at once organized consisting
of forty men with Winchester repeating
rifles and sent to the Hecla works.
Assistant Superintendent Rowe came
here tonight. He says the Huns are
in terrible state of excitement, and it
may be that the outbreak will occur
sooner than expected. Engineer Green,
who was beaten by the desperate mob
yesterday, is in precariouS condition
and will probably die. Another of the
injured, who had rusty pick sunk into
his shoulder, will also die. Some of the
workmen are afraid to 60 near the
works, and have not been seen since
the raid yesterday. The Huns say they
will not allow work to proceed at Hecla
until the advance is given them at Mann
moth. There are not more than half
dozen Americans in the mob. The dep
uties who left here tonight carried
forty pounds of ammunition, and it is
expected, from the appearance of the
men, that blood will flow freely if an
outbreak should occur.
