WHERE LIFE is EXCITING.

Life is unusually interesting down in
fancy County, Mo-, just now. 1t is
the home of the Bald Knobbers and the
Anti Bald Knobbers 1t is poor
county, and when the Legislature ap.
propriated SO 900 to build court house
there was as great a scramble for it as
for the site of the Worlds Fair. The
struggle narrowed down to Forsythe,
the present county seat, and Taney
City, an ambitious hamlet. The cul-
mination came on the last day of the
late session of the County Court. This
body consists of three men. One was
for Forsythe, one was for Taney City
and the third had paired with himself
at least he was conveniently sick and
kept away from the meeting.
On the day mentioned the village of
Forsythe was filled with drunken men.
That night the mob gathered in gro
Gerry" and free fight ensued. The
lights were put out and the combatants
fought it out to suit themselves. No
pistols were used, and no one was fatally
hurt. But they struck, kicked, bit, and
gouged each other in the most approved
manner. When the fight had ended
reaily every man engaged in it was
manned and bleeding. The county seat
question is not yet settled Anyone who
iiEds life here in the East too tame should
go out to fancy County, Missouri, and
take sides on the issues which make life
exciting enough to be worth living.

WASHINGTON, MARCH3, 1890.
THE INVESTIGATION.

1t will be generally admitted that
Messers Ewart and Hatton have made
out a case against the Civil Service
Commission. If the infractions Of the
letter and especially of the spirit of the
law which have been brought to light
have not been grave enough to seriously
shock the public they have at least
shown that the Commission discovered
how much easier it is to talk up a
scheme in theory than to carry it out in
practice
The Campbell charges seem to have
been fully sustained, and, however
strongly sympathy may set in for Mr.. Ly-
man in his relation to his brother n-law,
there can be little doubt that the action
of the Commission in that case was en-
tirely at variance with the rules, regu-
lations and theories of the civil service
reform which it was appointed to ad-
minister.
The Sturgis and Mitchell instances
as presented are somewhat inconclusive
A candidate admitted to a subsequent
examination because of an inadvertency
in a prior one might not properly fur
nish case of rerating, and a clerk,
whose special work under the Commits
sion had been unsatisfactory, might yet
be well qualified for service in one of
the Departments.
But the Shidy case offers few, If any,
palliative features. According to his
own testimony he connived at and par
ticipated in fraud when that was profit
atle. When it was dangerous, and
when inducements were held out to him,
he turned informer He is self-cou-
victed of being IA man without principle,
and Mr.. Roosevelt, as Civil Service
Commissioner, might have been better
occupied than in securing further Gov
eminent employment for such a man.
The members of the Civil Service
Commission are all of them worthy
men. But the office they administer is
public trust, and they must abide by
the result of the inquiry which has been
forced upon them. The Posts contro-
versy on this matter has not been always
marked either by dignity or modera-
ton, but, all the same, it has succeeded
not alone in putting the Commission on
its defense; it has also made it neces-
sary that the Commission should clear
itself of any kind of reproach, scandal
or offense.
The Washington critic., 1890-03-03
ENFORCE THE LAW.

The unfortunate occurrences of the
last few days call attention once more
10 the necessity which exists for the
strict and vigorous enforcement of the
law against carrying concealed
weapons. In the main, the Capital City
is one of the safest and most orderly
cities in the country; but if the pocket
pistol is to be on hand at every differ
ence or difficulty it may soon reach the
condition of southeastern Kentucky
community,
The sympathy of newspaper men
naturally goes TO Mr.. Kincaid in the
Taulbee affair, but it is nevertheless
true in his case tn at without the con
cealed weapon he would not have run
the awful risk Of committing the
gTayest crime known to the law. In like
manner what threatened to be an awful
tragedy, as the result of the dastardly
attempt made yesterday to kill Miss
Lillian Moore, would have been averted
but for the common but fragrant disre
gard of the law in this respect.
There are many men in Washington
who habitually go armed and are al
ways ready for any fray. In theil
case "the means to do i'll deed,
makes i'll deeds done" For the
credit Of our city and for the
security of a peaceful community
the strong arm Of the law should
be stretched out TO suppress this evil
Its action should be fearless
impartial and energetic. II

ted on mere impulse would be ren

Miss JEANNE Winston, the well known
opera.singer is favorite in this

the following letter;
10 the Edtor Of the Herald:
! endeavored In the New York Herald OF

the new passion play entitled "The Young

me to play the part of the Young Messiah.

THE NEW SEAL COMPANY,
Secretary Window Acted in the Best

From NE Phikadeiphia MQutrsr.

In awarding the exclusive privilege
TO taking seals on the Pribylov Islands
to the North American Commercial
Company of San Francisco and New
York. Secretary Window undoubtedly
acted in the manifestinte of the Gov
ernment If there is to be maintained a
monopoly under official sanction of the
business of seal, catching in Behring
Sea, ii is but fair that the highest pos
sible price should be exacted for the
privilege.
The North American Commercial
Company not only offered higher fig
ures than any other bidder, but 1t
strengthened its claims by Offering to
pay 10 per cent. more than the rates
named in the bid of any other competi-
tor for the lease. This high estimate
of the value of the seal catching
monopoly has been duly rewarded, and
the Government revenue from this
source Will, after May next, be about
$1,000, 600 year, instead of $500 900,
as under the existing arrangement with

A special telegram to the Philadelphia

of Colonel Canaday as Sergeant at Arms
of the Senate can now be numbered by
days. The indefinite rumors which have
been floating around for the last few
weeks have now taken tangible shape,
and conclusion has about been reached
that q successor must be selected to take
Colonel Canaday's place. The popular
disfavor in which Canaday is held has
forced the Senators to take some action
in reference to the reports of his irregu-
larities.
Senator Hoar has called caucus of
Republican Senators for Tuesday night

in detail, and some definite conclusion
will be arrived at Just what shape it
will assume is not known. although it

should at least be required to be accu-

is now less reason than ever to think
that spring begins before the yernal
