The Law Of Poker.
Omaha HOr9d- Herald.

Omaha WOr9d- Herald.
Deadwood has had several famous
judges. none of whom enjoys a wi
der distinction or more deserved
popularity than the present incum-
bent of the bench of the district in
which the city is located. This is
Charles NJ. Thomas. who, the
Washington correspondents says.
has been promised "A foreign mission
by President Cleveland. to be given
at an early date. 1t was he who
loosed Mary Nevins Blaine from the
CALLING bonds that bound her to the
unworthy scion of noble sire.
Judge Thomas is real live Ken
tucky colonel. He knows hawk
from a hand saw and can tell
genuine sample of the vintage of
the Cumbcrlands without the aid
of Government gauger. lie also
knows few things about the only
truly American national game.
That is why his decision of case
thateame. before him last. -wsek-is-
of particular Importance. and will
arouse national interest in his do
ings for second time within ii year.
The case was that of gentleman
from the country who, for the sake
of convenience. may be called the
"sucker," who brought a party, for
the sake of further convenience,
called "the other fellow" before
the court to decide disputed ques
ton regarding the relative value of
two poker hands. Some time pre-
ceding the trial the sucker had
disputed "the other fellows claim
that three hearts beat three aces.
During the dispute the "other fell
low" drew to his hand and laId
down a revolver. While the suck
er" was still in doubt as TO the su-
periority of the "other fellows"
hand, he released the stakes and
then proceeded to call upon the
Kentucky judge in Deadwood as
authority to decide the dispute.
And his Honor, justly indignant at
the attempt to violate the ethics of
the favorite American pastimc.
promptly sentenced the "other fell
lew" to 10 years imprisonment,
during which he will probably have
sufficient time to study the matter
over and conccdc his mistake.
The decision is, indeed, an i'm
portant one. The value Of poker
hand should be as certain in every
State in the country as the value Of
a SO bill. The American citizen
should have guarantee that he will
receive full value for the cards he
holds in every portion OF the Union.
Judge Thomas's decision is timely
one, and, what is more, il is good
one. Ii emanates from a compe-
tent authority, and will stand the
test Of all the courts.

cere thanks for the kindness shown
ne while in Denver. On the return
trip at Burlington, Iowa. | said
goodbye to my friends and the
dear old sleeper. and took the first
train to Quincy, H., to join my
wife and family. After spending a
few days very pleasantly with Mr..
G. G. Marchlsnd and family, we
journeyed
ON TO CHICAGO.
And now for the sights and scenes
in the "Windy City" and the
"White City by the Lake" To be
brief, have seen the Fair, and it is
immense. have tried to think of
way by which | could convey some
idea of what there is to be seen.
Words fail me. 1t is impossible to
describe it. We have all visited the
Lehighton Fair, aud also the Cen
tennial in 1876. The Lehighton
Fair compared to the Centennial is
about what the Centennial would be
compared with the Chicago Fair.
The rates for rooms and meals are
about the same as they were in
Philadelphia during the Centenni-
al, and as reasonable as they are in
Philadelphia or New York to day.
Neither does it cost anything extra
to visit any of the buildings on the
grounds proper. 1t is worth the
trip just to visit the Midway Plais-
ance.
One price admits the visitor to
everything on the grounds, except
ing to some of the villages on the
Midway~Piais To somesof
these the admission is twenty-five
cents, but it is well worth the cost.
They are exceedingly interesting.
But still, there is enough else to be
seen on the grounds proper, and
more than can be seen in a visit of
many, many days. It's we'll worth
a trip to Chicago to see the build
ings alone, when Illuminated.
When you try to think of all that
this Fair contains, language simply
fails to convey the remotest idea of
its vastness and its beauty. 1t is
far beyond anything / ever dreamed
of, and | honestly believe that this
is the verdict of every other person
who visits it.
The system of its management
seems to be as near perfect as pos
sible. Are you looking for any
special exhibit? Present few ques-
tions to some in authority and you
receive explicit directions, cheer
fully and willingly given. Here is
an instance. My daughter was
anxious to see the school work ex-
hibit from the school which she
attended for the past two years.
We made a few inquiries and easily
found what we were looking for.
Had we not made those inquiries
we might, perhaps, have searched
for days. In the Pennsylvania
Building, | had the pleasure of
reading the Carbon county papers
the Mauch Chunk Daily Times,
Democrat, Lansford Record, and
Carbon Advocate.

Baltimore cannot afford to let her hoodlums
persecute the Hebrews who reside in ncighbor-
hoods where the toughs seem privileged. Since
the days of the ''plug-uglies" our sister-city

That the complaints made are well founded is
beyond question and that they have their origin

that all they wanted was a chance to live

How long will it be before the spirit Of the
true civil service idea permeates the depart
mental service? When will merit be the only
consideration in connection with the admins
tration of government business? These aues-
tions are being asked quite frequently by those
who are weary of the political and improbable
methods that are even now being operated
wherever there is a loop hole in the civil SER
vice rules. 1t is or should be understood that
the routine of departmental conduct is almost
entirely in the hands of the various assistant
secretaries. thus leaving the chief free to attend
to the broader matters of administration and
the hearing of appeals. To be successful Sec
retary is easily possible to the possessor of an
active and we'll balanced brain. but to be a use
full assistant secretary calls for as much
mind, and, in addition, for intimate personal
acquaintance with the countless minor details
OF departmental business. This intimacy may
only be acquired through experience, and yet
because a republican President is succeeded by
a democratic President, or vice versa. these as
sistant secretaries must also go out. taking with
them vast quantity of information which can
no. be impaired to those who go in to fill the
forcibly-vacated places. When Congress legis-
lated into existence the offices Of assistant Sec
rotary of war and of the navy it was under
stood that they should not be regarded as po-
litical positions AID that their incumbents
should not be subjected to quadrennial
change. The principle is one over which
there can hardly be any controversy
ard if the democratic convention Of
1892 was sincere in its meager reference to civil
service reform this administration should
having already made many changes-endeavor
to secure the services of men whose capacity
could not be doubted when the next political
revolution makes its appearance. Why should
the United States-partisan considerations
being properly laid aside-pay many thousands
of dollars for the training of assistant secre-
taries whose services are dispensed with and
whose usefulness is lost to the government
whenever a new majority secures control?
