Officer Houska was considerably
bruised in the Tivole garden. on Bridge
square, after midnight, attempting to
arrest man who gave the name Of
Johnson. The latter, In company with
seven other young men, was drinking
Ia the Tfvole. The party became noisy
and Mr.. Straka sent for Officer Houska
to eject them. Officer Houska selected
Johnson as being the noisiest of the
crowd and attempted to take him out
side. Johnson's friends jumped on the
bluecoat and held him back. The off,
eer wrenched himself loose and made
a grab for Johnson, throwing him to
the floor, but was again pitched onto
by the other members Of the party, who
held Houska until johnson had re-
gained his feet, in hopes of seeing a
fight.
Houska is a new man on the force
and was reluctant about using his club
and went for his prisoner in the true
American fashion. The two ex-
changed blows, both receiving
black : eyes in the melee. Finally
the crowd broke away and took
to their heels, with Houska after John
son. He finally caught his man at Wa
basha and bundled him into the patrol
wagon. Johnson will have to answer

WORTHY OF SUPPORT.

About all that remains to the repre-
sentative In congress who stands in
with the administration, by which he
punish others for opposition, are the
fourth-class postoffices. This is not
because the matter of sheltering them
from the spokesman has not been
admitted, but because Of the inherent
difficulties attending any plan of apply
ing civil service methods to the APP
pointment of their incumbents Secre-
tary Window once proposed their cleo
ton, but aside from the futility Of pop
-ular elections as tests Of merit, there
were intricate questions of constituent
cies that raised obstacles to the solu-
ton. Recently the congressional dele
cation from some state met and de-
choice Of postmasters to the patrons of
the Office who stood in utilization with
their party, logical thing to do if Of
fees belong to the party instead of to

Some progress was made In this adj
ninistration of President Cleveland by
the application to these lesser offices
Of the term principle, allowing the in
cumbents to serve four years, although
they held as tenants at will Of the gov
eminent. liable to custer at any mo-
ment. There was much impotent
grumbling among Democrats anxious
to serve when this rule was adopted,
but it went into force and thus mark
ed one more advance. But it only pro-
longs for a time the operation of vi
cious system and the present progress
i've movement of reform is in the direc-
ton of these offices. 1t is In aid Of
this that the fourth class postmasters
all over the country are forming their
organizations to secure some action.
either legislative, through congress, or
executive, through the president. to
have these offices placed within the
classified lists, appointment to be made
after examination, on merits, and SER
vice to continue during good behavior.
While it may be conceded that the
motives Of those taking this action are
not wholly free from self-interest, the
benefit that may accrue to them is of
small account when the benefits of the
permanent establishment of the re-
form in their offices are considered. The
present incumbents will soon pass out,
but the reform, once made, will endure.
So the action taken by the meeting of
fourth-class postmasters In this state,
and the general movement elsewhere OF
these officers, is worthy the support Of
all who regard the reform as the re-
moval Of one of the great dangers that
threatened the country If additional
legislation is needed they should have
it; If executive action only is needed
that should be taken. The difficulties
in the way are not slight. Postmaster
General Wilson asked this congress to
sanction his plan for a partial advance
by consolidating with some central Of
fee the fourth-class offices within
convenient radius, making the post
masters clerks of the central Office.
but congress refused assent Some
method can and will be devised, and
the Fifty-ffth congress could not bet
ter show the sincerity OF the platform
professions Of its party than by putting
these petty offices under the wing of
the reformed civil service.

FIood Of Canadian Lumber.

Z ASHLAND, Wis, Dec. n.-At meeting
of the Lumber and Log Owners association,
held here this afternoon, Judge 5. w. Coch-
ran, of the Keystone Lumber company, and
w. A. Deherty, of the Doherty Lumber COM
pany, were chosen delegates to attend the
meeting OF the lumbermens convention to be
held at Cincinnati. The sentiment here is in
favor Of 81 tariff on sawed lumber. The
Canadian product continues to flood the
markets usually supplied from this section.
In fact, it is coming in fast in anticipa-
ton Of a tariff that they do not stop to pile
1t, and 1t has practically stopped all sales
Of the American product, besides materially
reducing the wages paid to men in the woods
on Lake Superior.
