try and pictures of many places
of interest in the Old World. Mr.,
Dunn gave a very. interesting
description of his travels and oil
life in India. To add to the al.

ed John W. Thomas, sent from
Wayne county last June, for rape
to serve a term of 20 years. The
Governor reviewed the case at
some length. Thomas was found
guilty of attempting to rape his
own daughter, but it has been
found since his conviction that
there was nothing in the case,
and that he was not at home the
day the assault was said to have
been committed. as was proven
by his son. Ten OF the jurors
asked for his pardon and the
Judge who tried it did not dis
sent.
The Governor has also granted
q pardon to Salachil Buck, con-
victed in Calhoun county for
burglary, and sentenced TO the
penitentiary for one year. His.
pardon is conditional, and is sub
ject to section 90 of chapter IA,
OF the code, which gives him
liberty If he demesns himself as
a law abiding citizen. but If dur
ing the term Of his sentence he
shall violate the laws of the.
State. the warden shall again
place him in the State prison:
Governor Atkinson took this
precaution for the reason that
several who have been pardoned
by him Immediately renewed
their old habits.

ton. His politics is not to be
considered. Grover Cleveland
came in and removed all the Re-
publicans in certain offices and in
their places put thousands Of
Democrats; it was carrying the
thing too far, to then place all
these officials under the civil
service. None of them had been
examined and all of them got
places because they were Demo-
cratic workers and pullers. Now
President Mckinley, bound by
the noted blanket order of
Grover, has to say "these good
people are under the civil service
aud / cannot remove them
] What a farce If they are to be
made civil service people why
mot have them come out, pass ex-
aminations and take their chances.
President Mckinley has appoint
ed men to high places where
they were required to give q big
bond, guaranteeing to the Gov
eminent faithful and efficient
services and these men are not
allowed to select their Office
clerks or the men for whose acts
they stand bound. Take the case
of A. B. White. Collector of In
ternal Revenue for West Vir-
| ginia; Judge Jackson has decid-
ed that he cannot remove the
deputies he found in Office when
he gave bond and took charge.
Senator Faulkner in chuckling
over the good fortune that has
come to his Democratic friends
a few days ago said: II re.
gard the decision as the greatest
victory tina. has been gained for
the merit system. and have no
doubt that if the case Is taken to
