1t is not very easy to convince the
average person that it is worth while to
endeavor to secure employment by the
United States government through
means of a civil service examination.
Few believe that civil service reform is
anything more than a mere theory
which enables any ambitious seeker
for Office to undergo competitive ex-
animation, but which never enables any
one to secure an Office as the result OF
such examination That this view is
entirely unf0unded. the case of Mr..
Patrick M. Mor0ney, of this city, makes
very plain. Mr.. Moronev is at present
an employe Of the st. Paul postofice
and holds his position entirely free
from and uninhuenced by what IS
known as political influence. He has
had no little experience as candidate
for Office through the civil service COM
mission. In April, 1888, he applied for
q department clerkship at Washington
and took his examination. Az the
result of that examination he was ap-
pointed to clerkship in. what is known

office of the war department, on Nov.

ever, Mr.. Moroney declined, when a
gentleman from New Ulm, who stood

pointed in Mr., Moroney's stead. In

Maroney on his first examination was

per cent. This last average has only
once been equaled and has never been
surpassed by Minnesota candidate for
any position in the classified service
since the operation Of the civil law, in
1883. AS Mr.. Moroney holds at present
a responsible and lucrative position in

upon the mutations of politics, he has

SoMB time since there appeared in
these columns an editorial under the
heading ''False Statistics" It was a
summary, with comments of Our own,
OF letter of Father Young to the New
York Independent calling attention to
lying statements regarding Catholic
schools, made by DR.. Hoyt. of this CITY.
He challenged the accuracy Of the
secondhand statistics used by DR..
HoYt, and went so far as to state that
thev were forged and manufactured by
the Evangelical Alliance, and that he
had documentary proof to that effect.
He issued a challenge in the Independ-
ent daring the calumniators to call for
the proof. We said at the time that
they would not ask tor proof to demon
strate the falsity Of their statistics. as
the exposure of their falsehoods would
interfere injuriously with their evan
gelical work. At last John Jay, ersts
while the president of tho Alliance, has
taken notice OF Father Young's letter,
and invited him to produce the evil
dence in his possession. In last weeks
Freeman's Journal, Of New York, he
wrote a long communication alleging
that he had not seen Father Young's
challenge till recently, and promising
to furnish conclusive response to the
charges against the Alliance. He con-
cludes his communication by saying
that his reply will clear the atmosphere
Of the question which Father 7 Dung
has raised, and open the way for as fair
and reasonable discussion Of the rela-
tive merits Of the public aud the paro-
chial schools as that opened by Lava

THE Rev. DR.. McSweeney, OF New
York City, says: Neither the Catholic
people nor the hierarchy have aught to
say against education, or even against
education by the State; the fault thew
find is that there is not enough Of it.
The State educates, indeed, but only
the head of the child, leaving OUT the
heart: it gives a good secular training.
but omits the religions-whlch, indeed.
it is incompetent to take charge Of
consequently Catholics hold that the
State ought to permit the Church or the
Churches. or anv other competent Or
ganisation, to come in and help her to
educate, SO that the child will grow up
a Christlan~or a religi0u,ly trained be-
ing of soLne sorC-ant thus become a
citizen Ht to help carry on Il free repub
lie. Catholics hold that this Is essentl-
ally a Christian country and was founded
bv Christians. They want to save the
country from the destruction which
will certainly be the result OF secular
ism. The Catholic Church in the past
proved her love Of education by ereserv-
ing it in the Middle Ages; and at this
moment there is NO body of citizens in
the land which is making such sacrifices
for it. It is, therefore. a question Of
how education should be given, that is
the question. Many Prosestants, like
the late DR.. Hodge, Of Princeton, are
equally dissatisfied with this how; and
he went 80 far az to say that ''all OF us
who really believe in God should give
thanks to Him that he has preserved
the Roman Catholic Church in America
to. day, true to that theory of education
upon which our fathers founded the
public school of the nation, aud which
has been 50 madly perverted.

officers.

The official terms of the following
named county officers have expired:
S. J. Hartman, County Clerk; Theo
Bracken, Treasurer; B. E. Morton,
Register of Deeds; G. M. Mcclure,
Sheriff; W. B. Stubert, Surveyor; and
A. H. Shapley, Coroner.
These gentlemen have made good
officers and they go out of Office we
believe without a stain on their ofic-
ial records. During the late cam
paign charges were by inuendo made
against some of them, but the object
was to create political thunder only.
We believe every man of them tried
to conscientIously discharge his off
ciaI duty as prescribed by law.
The incoming officers are: G. T.
Barber, Treasurer; J. S. Barnes,
Clerk; j. w. Kingery, Register, Lee
Scrivener, Sheriff; Gustave Graf
Surveyor; Dr. I. Miley, Coroner; j.
II. Ham, Commissioner.
Mr.. Barber is a democrat and Mr..
Graf a Union Labor man. Of these
two gentlemen the HERALD has to
say that they stand high in their re-
spective parties and among those who
know them best. During the cam
paign last fall, this paper printed
not a line rejecting against their
character or good name, for we be-
lieved them to be personally honor
able men. Not a straw will we place
in their official path, but hope and
believe they viii make good. efficient
public servants. OF Barnes, King
cry, Scrivener, AIiley and Ham, we
repeat what we said so often last
campaign they are eminently
qualified for the respective positions
to which they have been elected.
They are men of good character, have
a deep sense Of the responsibility of
the trusts committed to their care
and are mentally viii qualified to
discharge the duties of the Offices.
The four first named gentlemen are
new or untried officers. Mr.. Ham
has served a term as commissioner
and was reelected They each and
all have our best wishes.

Prohibition Injuring the Boot and
Shoe Business.
W. ~. Gill has returned from
spending the holidays with his re1a-
tives In the eastern part of the State.
While he was there a merchant told
him a story which illustrates the eff
feet Of prohibition in Kansas. The
merchant had for years sold boots
and shoes manufactured by conwets
IN the State penitentiary. For some
time he has been unable to have his
orders for those shoes filed. He re-
Gently asked a commercial travelling
man thereason Of this. The runner
took from his pocket a letter from the
contractor who manufactured the
shoes by convict labor and read 1t to
him. The contractor said in reply to
a similar enquiry that prohibition is
the cause Of his failure to turn out as
many boots and shoes as he did years
ago; that before we had prohibition
there were about ], 400 conYicts in the
State prison and now only about 700,
and that he had not workmen enough
in his line to keep up with the orders
for the goods. We believe he added
that if the people wanted more peni-
Tertiary goods turned out, they must
reopen the saloons which would re-
fill the penitentiary and thus increase
the number Of men to do contract
work.

young Stewart lying on the prairie

killed outright, but that he had en-

before he could reach aid. It is a
very sad affair indeed, and the family

The Herald's New Year Greeting.
At the beginning Of a new year the
HERALD proprietors wish to return to
their patrons their profound thanks
for the generous patronage extended
to US during the year just closed.
Though times have been close and
money scarce, yet our business has
been excellent, exceeding IN volume
what it has ever been in any former
year. We have worked hard tomake
the HERALD a good paper, and we be
lieve our efforts have been appreciat-
ed by those whose appreciation we
most desire-the solid, sensible, moral
classes of the county. We believe
that every careful, regular reader Of
the HERALD will agree in the state
ment that this paper is and has been
the foe Of monopolies, trusts and
other combination which were antag-
onistic to the peoples best interests,
and that 1t has been the steadfast
friend and champion of temperance,
education, morality, and fair dealing
among men. Not a line has ever,
knowingly, been permitted to. go INTO
these columns bp the present editor
ial management that we thought
would unjustly injure the reputation
of another or corrupt his morals, or
that would make the young OF either
sex less chaste, less refined, or less
moral. We do not presume that a
local county paper can WELD any ex-
tended influence, but it has been and
is our studied purpose to have the
HERALD use It's influence, however
small that may be, to help on the
right and beat back the wrong as it Is
given to US to perceive the right and
wrong. That a considerable number
of our readers have observed this de-
termination and appreciate it we know
and we rejoice in the knowledge.
The HERALD IS the oldest uewspa-
per in Northwest Kansas; it goes into
every nook and corner of Phillips
county; its list of subscribers are the
influential men and women of every
township, who, with very few excep
tiOns. can be depended on to pay the
printer, and it is one of the sold fl
nancial institutions Of Phillips conn
ty. For this prosperity, and large
circulation it is largely indebted Il
the good people who have for year:
been It's steadfast friends and tiaan-
cial supporters.
To these and to all others VIZ senl
a Happy New Year Greeting. Ma!
you each and all live to see the clos,
Of the year 1890, and the coming anC
going of many subsequent years.

There seems to be a great deal of
lawlessness in the South just now.
The newspapers call it the Race
War" On Christmas day and since,
several negroes were killed in differ
ent cities in Georgia and other South
ern states. Southern papers allude
to the troubles as Negro outrages"
and Negro uprisings" and by other
sensational headlines convey the idea
that the cOlored people down there
are desperate criminals, and yet when
you come to read the details of the
fights and shootings the fact appears
that one or two or more Negroes were
killed, while but few if any white men
are hurt at all. There is good evil
dence which goes to establish the fact
that in nearly all these bloody fights
in which several colored men are shot
down like dogs, the aggressors are
drunken white men who pick quarrels
with the Negroes until they resent the
insults and strike back, when the. cry
is raised that the 'niggers" are be-
coming lawless, and they are either
killed or driven to the swamps. Some
portions Of the South are not yet re-
constructed.
